The LouivilIp Journal says: We defy any tastelul lover oi poetry to read the following line without ex- claiming ' How beautiful !" My soul thy sacred image keeps, Aly midnight dreams are all of thee ; For nature then in silence sleeps, Anil silence broods o'er land and sea ; Oh, in that still, mysTrious hour, How oft from waking dreams 1 start, To find thee but a fancy flower. Thou cherished idol of my heart, Thou hast each thought and dream of mine Have I in turn one thought ot thiue ? Forever itaine P)y dreams will be, Whate'er may be my fortune here ; 1 ask not love I claim trom inee Only one boon, a gentle tear. May ever blest visions from above Play brigh'ly round thy happy heart, At '. cay the beams of peace and love, Ne'er from thy glowing soul depart, Farewell ! my dreams are still with thee, Hast thou one tender thought of rr e My joys like summer birds may fly, My hopes .ike summer b ossoms depart, But them's one flowei that cannot die Thy holy met. ory in my heart : No dews that floweret's cup may fill, No sunlight to its 1 aves be given, Cut it will live and tlomish still, As deathless as a thing o Heaven, My sou' greets thine, luunasked, unsouh1', Ilast thou lorne one -jei.tle thought?

Again, within th" last few days, we have received information thai for the same inis. ler motive, GardHer h s vetoed tfie " Nullification Bill " which pass, d a Know -Nothing Legislature, and which they h ive again passed ovjrr the hi au of his veto. For this act, the Southern Know. N :iiing presses jng pSBtai in his praise, and the Richmond Whig and Petersburg Intelligencer cry on1 Honor to IxOVernor Gardner." Indeed. tin-Know-Nothing Union liepuulie.iii at S'auiiton, be fore hearing ol this lasl veto, put forth tin- boast thai Gardner ' Ins always been a zealous compro mise stall. To show Ihe utter groundlessness ol those com pliments to one of the bitterest enearies of ih South, and the consequent danger of an alliance With such men, we shall bra fly re produce s-'ine of the rt cent antecedents of this same unworthy G.ernor, whose election is justly regarded as having given a great impetus to ihe Koow-N Jibing abolition ianatictsm in New England. In a letter dated Boston. October 30, 1854, and addressed to " Hou. Charles Allen," Gardner spoke thus emphitic illy : It is Kui tine that I am, or ever have been, in favor ot the fugitive-slave bill. I never voted for a m in who layered t'. knowing such to ho hia -. - i . c views, and I mist very much change beiore 1 ever do.

Such, in October lf$4, (says the B .stun Post) ' was the political status ot the man be. now held n ih nP,,i,le n . i,hnH,mPn. nf Know- Nothing nationality ! Such were the declarations which it was absolutely necessary to nia.ke iu or der to take the abolition vote. Nobody denies that they accomplished their purpose. The abolition ists voted with a rush for Mr. Gardner; and he l-d into being the most thoroughly abolition leg islature ever convened in this Commotiwealih.

In our comments on the governor's message on the day after it was delivered we remarked that, in this suggestion, as to habeas corpus ifnd the jury trial, "the free sutlers, in ihe legislature j and out ol it, will see a recommendaiion to take 1 action against the fugitive slave law such action as will array Massachusetts ayaiust the general I government.

We should look to the con quences of this. Palealjne, once well wooded and cultivated like a garden, is now desert the haunt of Beduttins Greece in her palmy days, the land of laurel loresis, is now a j desolate waste. Persia and Babylon, the cradle of civilization, are now covered beneath ihe sand j of the deserts, produced by the eradication ol their forests. It is comparitively easy to eradicate the j forests of the Nunh, lor they are of a gregarious j order orw class succeeding another; but ihe j tropical forests, composed ol innumerable varieties, j growing together in ihe most democratic union ; and pnualitv. are never eradicated.

In other words, it was as long as g, paU'a c ithedral, nearly as broad, half as high. The tonnage of the ark, according to the caicuta lion of modern corpenlers, must have been thirty two thousand tons. The largest English ship, of-war, the S'. Vincent, for instance, which is of a sZ" altogether unimaginable lo those who have never seeh it, is two thousand five hundred tons burden; so ihat the ark must have been equal to seventeen first-rate ships-of war, and if armed as sue h ships are, it would have contained m'JCh be a u;iii..n ihnumM men. and Inrovisions lor .''.I.J . - l .

The roots are long and round, like? a sweet potBto ; generally a fool or more in length. Every joint of the plant will produce its roots like the cuttings of grape-vine. The tubers are dug up from the ground, peeled, or grated, then put in long sack of flexible rattan; sacks six feet long or more, and at the bottom of the s ick they suspend a large stone, by which tha flexible sides are contracted, and then out pours the cassava-juice in a pan placed below to receive it. This juice is poisonous, and very volatile.

The long pod, which looks like the scabbard ol a sword, augges. ted the name to the Spaniards ; vuyna meaning scabbard, from which comes the diminutive van illa, or little scabbard appropriate enough as eve ry one will allow. The beans, which are worth here from six to twenty dollars a pound, could be as easily cultivated as hops in that climate ; but the indolence of the people is so great that not one Venezuelan has been found with sufficient enter prise to set out one acre vanilla, which would vied him a small fortune eve.y year.
