To sit and muse at thv brown feet; To hear thy loving voice, and learn , If Life, indeed, is sweet. 1 " The hills stand bathed in morning light, Below, in peace, the valley sleeps, 1 "While, brooding over tranquilly. Its watch a shadow keeps. , "I am alone ; the blue sky bends, lu silence, over leaf and tree ; The liowers smile upward to its face, ,' But that is nought to me— " I am alone ; the green meads watch The light clouds floating by : 1 The wild wind sings amid the trce3, But where, in life, am I?" , u All. child I"—the Grade replied—- "Who walkest blindly on thy way, Praying that o'er thy path may full One blessed gleam of day, 1 " And sec'st not that the sky above Is lit with glory evermore : ! And where thy wean feet move slow, God's angels tread before : "Thou dreautest of the pillar d fire, And yet forgeicst that, as well, Across the desert's burning sand The cooling shadow fell. . 1 "As to the wither M autumn leaves j Tbu blossoms of the summer cling, With blessings from thy faded past Shall the rich harvest spring." The brooding hush of earth and sky The presence of the spirit told. And west the ■sunset shone as glowed The burning bush of old. Baptized with silence, still and white, The blossoms of the forest shone ; The Hymn of Nature answered uie—• 1 stood no more alone. M AUOII 15. 1858. EVA. Jtete 11 f uvalirl. ; For the Potter Journal. A WEEK 5\ ST. BAH IS. t Tt snowed and blew and slctcd until the earth was all glazed over, and all the commonest trees and bushes were Hushing with diamonds, and anybody could skate! along the high road to the railroad station,> where I. who had no skates nor skill in 1 sliding, brought myself to, after a slippery j walk one bright February morning. 1 waited and waited, as I had clone the day before, for the train that had run oil* the track two days before, but which the offi cials insisted would certainly come along by and by. And along towards night it did come poking along with an engine in sucdi a die away condition that it had been losing six hours in forty miles for want of ability to get up steam. I went to the next station and tried there to do some business but fulled and waited for the three i o'clock passenger train from Cincinnati to' St, Louis. It came at live, and then proved to be a freight train, as the Ex press was demolished. At length we were inglorious!y dragged to the brink of the Father of waters at the end ut a slow Freight, and lauded. No Omnibus or baggage wagon meets the freight, so we had to leave our baggage, and crossing the ferry, tind our way to a hotel the best way we could. Ryan industrious system of interrogation 1 found the city Hotel to which 1 had been directed, and wont to bed and waited until day lighf to set out on the several expeditions 1 had laid out. Next, morning my lirst raid was on the Post Office. 1 asked several clerks for letters but could'nt find any, d followed , the Directions of the Directory to find Mr. M's. office and could'nt find liiui, as lie had moved away. My letters having been directed to his cave I was in a " pickle," However, I bad another errand for a • • • lady in Illinois, and I set out according to ; agreement, 111 search of Ucr mother, from whom she could get uo letters although I she wrote every week. I observed that : ihc hotel was on 3rd street, and the Post Office on 2nd street, so I concluded that ; like Philadelphia, the streets were num bered westward, beginning from the river, ; and with this guess for a guide 1 started ■ for Bth street. I followed Market past ( the Museum, (which L did'at enter, tho' strongly tempted), and when I arrived at 1 Sth street, 1 had no idea which way to turn, so I stood there and asked the lirst ■ woman who came along, which way to go. 1 to find Franklin Avenue. .It lay north- ] ward, and to the north I turned, and went 1 across a good many streets until I found the right one and began to count the num- < bers, but found the houses numbered after < a fashion of their own, the numbers on ' one side bearing neither relation nor pro- i portion to those on the other, and us I was 011 the wrong side of the street, I . went farther than necessary before I dis- i 3) j fried lo liif iViotipie? of ikMie DrincLwij, tp)D ti>e BissumiiiriuH) of iijrtqidtt, *Cl;c.uiii*w COUDERSPORT, POTTER COUWTY, PA., THURSDAY, APRIL 1, 1858. covered the unojue labelling adopted on Bth street. 1 found the house at. last, and the lady to whom her daughter's name was a ready passport. Here again 1 learn . cd more of the beauties of that delectable . " circumlocution office" on 2nd St. This lady testified that not more than one let ter in five which she had posted this win ter had ever reached those to whom they ; were directed, and as for those sent her ! she could'nt get them at all, and had been for two months full of anxiety concerning I the daughter in Illinois, from whom she had heard nothing until 1 came. There is a model system for you ! Others how ever say that the}* have 110 trouble, but another lady who had been absent six weeks told me that not one of her letters home during that period had ever reached her family, though they inquired almost daily. A member of my new friend's fam ily bunted up a Good Templar who put ime on the track to find my letters, as 1 pocketed my present disappointment and with a veibul direction 1 started out to call on everybody's AUNT FANNY. I was told to take an omnibus, but 1 had 110 notion of entering that animated cooper's shop, to run the risk of being , punched on both sides by the unmannerly hoops of the ladies, so 1 used natures lu- Icomotive aparatus, and walked a mile and a half up Broadway, as the north end of '3rd street is called. Here T followed the ; untranslatable directions I had received, and found the home of the transplanted Buckeye poetess, authoress, and oratress, ! on a swell of land overlooking the u Mound , City." 1 diligently inquired into the rea son of this pretty sobriquet which 1 found on various Bakeries, Breweries, Groceries .and Mechanics shops through the town, j The name was bestowed in honor of cer tain sightly bluffs or eminences which 1 have been dug down to fill ponds and I sink-holes with, so that the reallv pretty J natural advantages for beauty and health . are all sacrificed to the carrying out of the dead level, Philadelphia ehequer-board i pattern, which is the plan of most western | cities. A very convenient and economi cal plan too, but as there is needed in ! every city, parks and open grounds for ! breathing places, why did'nt they leave the ponds and mounds for a picturesque common" like that in Boston ? A "mound city" without any mounds is rathei a flat affair. The town is not built up citv-wise as I far as Mrs. GAGK'S villa-like residence, but the houses are scattered about, village | fashion, here and there as it happens, on Greets which are laid out, but not made ; yet. A drive to town takes one past mul | titudos of " sink-holes" which it was sug gested, wore the places where the missing mounds bad been pulled up by the roots. They bear an unromantic resemblance to o'd cellars partly filled up. Fissures thro' the limestone foundations of the city and country here, have allowed the water from above through the course of ages, to filter j through and carry the soil with it, leaving hollow inverted cones to show the way to the subteranean water-drains through the rock. A lit tle work would transform iheni into capital cellars ready drained, but this cannot be done unless they happen to 'stand in the right place for following out the arbitrary chequer-board pattern. They are big enough sometimes for castle vaults, and have the ''underground passages," and " secret chambers," and all that kind of medieval fixings, ready done up. But romantic arrangements take room, and room takes time to go around it, and a full-blooded westerner could'nt afford to circumnavigate anything which takes room, even it he had nothing upon earth to do with his time. A lady left three circular parks, like three chain links, as a legacy to the city, and as they happened to stand a little above the territory around them, the city is digging them down in stead of doing the cheaper and prettier job of walling them up. But I'm a good while getting to AUNT Fanny's. I did get there however and spent a day instead of making a call, and wished 1 hat every canting croaker about the slovenly and shrewish propensities of " strong minded women" could see and appreciate that home, beautiful as only a great-hearted and strong-minded woman of good taste and fine feeling could make any place. A writing table and its ap purtenances, a piano, a sewing machine and a cage of canaries, were some of the features of the sitting-room. A middle aged lady with soft curls threaded with silver, shading a pleasant face, talked cheerily in an uncommonly agreeable voice with old and young, at home alike with either, and not seeming to feel older than : either of the six big men who call her ' " mother;" and 1 couldn't help thinking that the fair, pile daughter, though her brown curls showed not one faded thread, felt older than the mother. I had promised to visit. St. Louis Lodge i of Good Templars that evening and start- : ed in search of it with a young Son of Temperance who had to hunt up the Hall : it met in, as they had recently moved. Leaving me in a drug strove lie went in search of information and returned with i the cheering intelligence that it met over . a neighboring lircurcry. We cauie to the building and asked a Dutchman we met : coming down stairs if the (Hood Templars were iu session above. " Xn, ze Masiouy, ze Druids, meets, i Masions to-night." " But," said niv guide " the Sons said this was the place, we'll go uj> and see!" and up we went,, smelling the impish ■ broth of abomination up three flights of stairs. The Outside Guard told us that we were right and let us into the ante room, and tinally my guide, being assured that 1 would be taken care of, left me to spend a very pleasant evening with the Lodge. One of the sisters informed me that mv guide had been misinformed as to the go ings on below, for instead of it being a Brewery it was a Dtsttilery ! Being call ed out for a speech 1 took for a text the epigram some wjig wrote upon the door of u JI all used as au Episcopal Church iu Xew York, the basement of which was aented as a drinking saloon — ••There's a spirit above anil a spirit below, A spirit f joy and a spirit of woe; The spirit above is the spirit, divine. And the one below is the spirit of wine.'' Some members of Schwitzler Lodge were present and invited me to meet with them on Monday eve, which I would gladly have done had 1 staid in town. They assured me that their Lodge didn't meet over u , distillery, that only the ante-room was over a hag< x beer saloon As the orders don't own the buildings they cannot con trol the basements, but as they can't well divorce the garret and cellar I hu]>c the " Spirit Divine" will get down low enough to neutralize the spirits in the lower re gions. The next day was Saturday and I had resolved to go up to Alton, but was pre viously forced to go and hunt up my trunk which 1 had had marked for the City Hotel, and left at the depot, for rea sons already given. As it didn't come to me I went to sec if 1 couldnt find it. Before I got to the station-house I met the baggage master who accosted me with, "Are you looking for your trunk. It was J *. J sent to the depot on the corner of 4th and Chestnut streets the day after you came. As there was no cheek the bag gage-man wouldn't undertake to take it to the Hotel, for if it should be lost he 1 would be responsible." Bo 1 went right back and crossed the river for the third time, wondering how that baggage-man should know me after several days, when he saw car loads of folks every day, and how he should remember my particular trunk and its history, when lie had han dled several hundred others since. The day was bright and tolerably warm and the ice running in the river was dimin ishing rapidly. The west wind had blown it in long "winrows" against the eastern i share, where it thumped ominously ; against the sides of the ferry boats, and then went under, coming out edge upper most, gleaming like erystalized rainbows in the sun. I was in nowise struck with the appearance of the majestic Father of M aters. It is only half a mile wide at this place. It formerly was a good deal wider, but they have built a dyke to turn the whole body of water into a narrower channel, for the sake of deepening the road for shipping—or steamboat imj— more properly speaking. A bridge is a great desideratum of St Louis, but the Illinois side is all mud and sand, and an abutment that wouldn't wash away would be difficult to build. I presume somebody will get it done some time or other. After hunting np my trunk, T was told that the regular Alton ears didn't start out on Saturday but that an accom modation ear was appended to the freight. 1 took my trunk and went over to the Al ton depot. Here after waiting an hour and a half, they gave out that the freight couldn't go, so I had my trunk seenrely locked up, and returned to the city.— The teams rushed on board the boat as they do every time, crowding and jostle ing to get the best place, and running foul of each other gut into a fight— not the teams but the teamsters. The crowd above looked down and commented. One man leaned over and called out the obvi ous truth, "That's whiskey fighting down there',' (hie grim old codger "wished ! he was down there to take a hand with them." and swore he "liked to see men fight." 1 found he was a regular Missis sippi lioatnum. So 1 had to spend Sab bath in St. Louis. AUNT FANNY sent me A message and the messenger took me home in the roek away, and there I spent the day, going to church iu the evening, and hearing a pretty good sermon and having a niee moonlight ride. The morning papers announced that at ten o'clock, in the lesser hall of the mer cantile library buildings, would he exhib ited ROSA Boxl!F.un's "Horse Fair," so I didn't go on th£ morning train, but staid to see this wonderful painting. Mrs. Gage told me that Miss HARRI - ET 11 os M Kit's statue of "Ornone" was iu the reading room—that it belonged there. No oue is allowed to visit the reading • | room except members of the Association Maud pel-sons introduced by members.— sj Fortunately Mrs. Gage was a member, and we weut. "Ornone" is very fine. The marble so pure that the light Millies thru' the hands Laud feet. lam not very much skilled in such matters, and have seen but one i piece of statuary which could be compared L with it. Powers' "Greek Slave" rose in my mind, and I compared them, to the - disadvantage of neither. "Oruone's" head. 1 hair and face are much more graceful and > beautiful. The "Greek Slave's" figure ; is far finer. The expressions of counte nance are entirely different and each per fect in its way, and such hands lady - in the world would be glad to Btchaugc i with this slave and shepherdess.^ The "Horse Fair" was in a daflc room, • occupying one end of it. A screen came • down from the ceiling as low as the top i of the picture, and behind this screen the gas was lighted, throwing all the light in the room directly on the picture. A cord was stretched round so that the specta tors could nut g"t within touching dis. , tance, but there were a number of large glasses to look thru' which magnified the • whole to life size, which most paintings i would not be any the prettier for, but • which seemed necessary for the develop- I ment of all the marvelous beauty of this, i I could compare "Ornone," but the "Ilorse Fair" is incomparable. My mind ran over whole galleries of paintings I - had seen, iu search of anything akin to 1 it, in vain. 1 thought i appreciated art • before, but T had never had an idea of ' the magic illusions it is capable of pro • ducing. You look and see a magnificent paint ! iug and are riveted to the spot, but the - longer you gaze the more certain vou be come that it is not a painting at all, but a real road full of horses and men. You -!ean see the leaves iu the pule, yellow • green spriug woods almost flutter with the jar of the "trampling troop." You {expect every moment to see the rider . jerk back the head of that vicious white i ; horse which is trying to bite his neigh i bor; and you watch that wild black one. ■ trying to throw his rider, with a breath ■ less interest, hoping that lie will rear no higher but come down on all fours again ' without hurting any body. You believe if you had a curry-comb you could strait en that sorrel pony's tangled mane and foretop, and you think you have seen that sober pair of greys "lots of times." The ■ perspective is absolutely faultless. You know it is near noon by the short round • shadows on the ground. You know if that rope was not in the way, you could i walk right between those animals. You can stem to see both sides of them —an illusion I never dreamed of in painting. I remarked, that F.hwix LANOSEER when he saw this painting, said he had found his master. 'A cs ! exclaimed the proprietor, "I stood by him when lie said it. An Eng lish friend of his, jealous for his nation's as well as his friend's credit, said to him that he was the head of that school of painting, and no one could rob him of his crown as king of animal painters; but LANDSKEU loved his art more than his own reputation as an artist, and almost resented the flattery. He turned to the speaker and said : 'I tell you if I could juiint for a hundred years, 1 never could produce such a work as that!"' That reply was better than any picture LANUSEKK ever painted, great artist tho' he be. An out-rivalled artist is seldom so magnanimous. lie told several anec dotes of HOSA which I had never heard before—said she was exceedingly shy and retiring among people, put perfectly dauntless among beasts. She keeps a whole yard full of outlandish pets, and the speaker said he once had the misfor tune to enter the wrong gate when he went to call on the great Artiste, and to his consternation found himself yarded iu with six huge bulls and other beasts too various too mention. "I confess" con tinued the little man, "that 1 was afraid and wished myself out of the scrape, but Bos A saw the trouble and came to meet me, and pushing her great horned pets j to one side, made a lane for me to the house ! \et he added, she was so quiet and feminine in her manners, that when iicr painter's dress was off nobody would dream that that shy, abstracted, absent minded young lady was the greatest painter in the world! Reluctantly were we obliged to leave the hall at last. 1 wonder when ever 1' shall again see three such manifestations of womanhood iu one day. FRANCES D. GAUK and her home, HARRIET HOS IER'S "Ornone," aud ROSA BONUKLR'S "Horse Fair." Before I left St. Louis that afternoon, f picked up a newspaper and my eye fell 1 on the advertisement of three slaves for { lite, to be sold by the Court House door , that day. It was the first thing I had seen to remind me that I was in a slave ' State. Colored people were tar fewer thau in Philadelphia or Xew York. All the porters, draymen, scavengers, waiters and'. TERMS.--$1.25 REE ANNUM. servants that 1 saw were Germans or ; Irish. I don't think I saw a dozen in the whole city, though put it all together I must have walked*.a dozen miles of stree's there. 1 heliwte there are more wholesale li(juor-storen Second Street and the Levee ttiau there are slaves it. the city. If these two great curses were removed, St. Louis could hardly set a, bound to her causes of wealth and pros perity. As my time is in fragments, and my lap is my writing-desk, please pardon blots and blunders for the sake of the good intentions of Vour friend, LIB. THE REVIVAL INCREASING. —The Re vival is extending. In uo less than lif ted) churches in this city are noon prayer meetings held on secular days, not to speak of Burton's old theatre, which is so crowded that negotiations are pending to obtain some larger building, like the Mu seum. In Brooklyn also, an increased number of churches will be opened for those who arc concerned ou religions mat ters, and all the signs portend that the excit em en t li as not rcae hcd i ts cu 1 m i imti on. Legislative praver-meetings are held at the Court of Appeals daily in Albany, nierehants and lawyers have prayer-meet ings. ladies have their up-town prayer meetings, and there is some talk of a brokers' prayer-meeting at the Exchange, between the First and Second Boards. ' | (due great auxiliary to the spread of the ;| revival is the notice taken of it by the | secular press. Column after column is devoted to the record of religious experi ences, and Revival Intelligence is made as much " a feature" as financial or polit ical news. This is quite unprecedented, and shows the extended usefulness of the Press of late years. Certainly never was religious propa gandism so thoroughly carried out. Print ed hymns, tracts, placards, everywhere ■ remind the inattentive of their dutv. (i iris and young men visit families by the 1 block, giving them tracts, urging them to repent, offering them free seats in the neighboring church, and taking an in ventory or spiritual census of the num ber and condition of the households. Al together the revival may be pronounced the most striking phenomenon of the day. —A r . Kre. 7W. THEY SAY. —We fuel the following burning words of truth—having much local signifi cance. too. just now—in Mrs. llentz's '-Ernest Linwood. ' They are bitter, but just: " ' They say'/ Who are they? who are the eowled monks, the hooded friars who glide with shrouded faecs in the procession of life, muttering in an unknown tongue words of : mystcri >ws import ? Who are they f the mid night assassins of reputation, who lurk in the bv-lanvs of society, with dagger tongues sharp ened by invention and envenomed bv malice, j to draw the blood of innocence, and hyena like, batupict on the dead. Who are they ? They are a multitude 110 man can number, blaek-stoled familiars of the inquisition of i slander, searching for victims in every citv, town, and village, wherever the heart of hu manity throbs, or the ashes of mortality find rest. Oh, coward, coward world-skulkers t (live me the bold brigand, who thunders along the highways with Hashing weapon that cuts the sunbeams as well as the shades; give ma the pirate who unfurl." the black Hag. emblem ot his terrible trade, and shows the plank which your doomed feet must tread ; but save me from the thcy-snycrs of society, whose knives are hidden in a velvet sheath, whoso bridge of death is woven in flowers ; and who spread, with invisible poison, even the spot ' less whiteness of the winding-sheet." Si't'uoEox. the popular pulpit orator, who, on the occasion of the recent national fast, I preached to a congregation of 24.000 persona in the Crystal Palace, London, thus defines the (iospel : '• It any man here should be in doubt on account of ignorance, let me. as plainly as I can, state the Gospel. I believe it to be wrap ped up in one word— substitution. 1 have al ways considered with Luther and Calvin, that the sum and substance of the Gospel lie* in that word substitution. Christ standing in the stead of man. If I understand the Gospel it is this. 1 deserve to be lost and ruined ; the oply reason why I should not be damned is this, that Christ was punished in my stead, and there is no ncd to execute sentence twice for sin. Christ took the cup in both hands, and -• • At one tremendous draught of love, lie drank damnation down.'
