BY PARK BENJAMIN. * “ A few more days, and all must be over with the Hero of the Hermitage.”—Daily paper. A few more days, and he must sleep- in death j A few more days, and onto God, who pave. The brave old hero must resign his breath, And sink serenely to a tranquil grave; Sink like the sun, more glorious at last Than when his rays in broad effulgence glowed, And over sea, and plain, and mountain, cast Meridian splendor from his high abode. For valor, wisdom. jutJtice, truth renowned. By tyrants hated, and by Ireemen blessed. With all his country’s loftiest honors crowned, He goes to welcome his eternal rest • Rest, that his soul has siuhed for m^iny years, With the dear partner of his manhood’^ prime ; .

The following amusing article has been going the rounds ofthe London papers, and it presents a laugh able anecdote at the expense of two well known geologists, Dr. Buckland and Mr. George Stephen son : “ Once upon a time, at a gathering ol fine spirits at Drayton Manor, Dr. Bucklaml, Sir W’illiam Fol- lett, anil Mr. Georije Stephenson were among the guests assembled. The itntu'>rtal railway engineer is remarkable for peculiar notions on disputable | dom, liberty, and all \hat son of thing; it looks re points in various sciences. For instance, he knows markably w.-ll in F"j^tiioi July Sjiet-ches — bul. I i" and do as ynu pl 'us'iie?” sai l the watchman. Siiid N' J ; '• bei'a’jse. I tell you and so t>5 every one that h.na’t y sv* 11 to leli ab)ul f'.^;t'. N Jt a bit of i' again. I’m a slave, money It’s .til ve by the efiect of electricity on a rail whetlier the road pays or not; and. as he has gone as deep as most men into the bowels of the land, lie rejects the theories alike of Werner and Hutton—the advocate ot water and the advocate of fire—and announces his own views with so much original vigor that they at once startle and amuse. Sir Robert having the leading; professor of geology at the same table with the ex pounder of new notions on stratification, contrived to bring them into intellectual collision. Mr. Step henson disputed the facts of formations as alleged, and Dr. Buckland defended them; and he combat ed the arguments of his opponent with such happy fluency and ready reference, that he crushed his ad versary vvith as much apparent power as one of the engineer’s own locomotives would an obtruding rab bit, when the engine was going at the rate of forty miles an hour. Mr. Stephenson lelt thal he was worsted, not defeated; but. being pleasantly anii politely chafed, the efforts he made lo recover his position only served to aggravate the pains of liis wounds. Althought it was only a friendly contro versy, he was considerably irritated and he slept but very little thal night. ‘•He was early up next morning and sought to cool his temper in the spacious garden at Drayton Manor. He had not taken many turns on the silica when Sir W’illiam Follett made his appearance.— I His first palutat.on was, George, you made a pret- I ty fool of yourself last night.” “I have a strong suspicion ol that kind myself, Sir William,’’ replied Mr, Stephenson, “ but I am convinced tliat I am right after all.*' “To be sure you were,” said Sir William, “ but you cannot talk. I never heard such a bungler. You v.’ere full of facts—wonderful facts; and Buckland had only sophistry to oppose you.— He beat you to a stand still, because you had no rhetoric.” “I am, Sir William, on lawyer.” ‘‘But 1 am we are called to breakfast, repeat to me your wdiole theory. Mr. Stephenson did as Sir William desired. He went through the process of fire ami water, the operations of electricity, Ihe nature of salts, the posi lion of strata. “That will do,” said Sir Wil'iam,— ‘•Now at dinner to-day hold your tongue; leave Buckland to me.” After dinner. Dr. Buckland, ex cited by his triumph of the preceding evening, soon introduced mineralogy. Sir William, in his^quiet, gentle way, drew him mto a controversy, closed upon him, out-talked him, and prostrated the pro fessor as effectually as the professor had overthrew the engineer the evening before. Sir Robert enjoy ed the encounter; no one was displeased; and as they rose to retire, Sir William whispered, “George, what flo you think now Thmk!” replied Mr. Stephenson, “I think that there is nothing ia earth or on it like the gift ct the gab.” tell you.
