0 - m-amm . . l - - The following capital lines, (says the N. Y. Ame rican,) from the Standard, are more in the Halleok vein taan any trung mat nas caugniour eye . time: If we mistake not they are by a hand which has more thari once favored these columns with some very happy poetic contributions: ADDRESS TO BLACK HAWK. There's beauty on thy brow old chief! the high And manly beautv of the Roman mould, And the keen flashing of thy full dark eye, Speaks of a neari uiai '""' , Of passions scathed not by the touch of time, Ambition, that survives the battle route. . The man within thee, scorns to play the mimic To gaping crowds that compass thee about Thou walkest with thy warriors by thy side, Wrapped in fierce haste, and high unconquered pride. Chiefof a hundred warriora! dost thou yet Vanquished and captive, dost thou deem that here The glowing day star of thy glory set 33uH night has closed upon thy bright career ? Old forest lion, caught and caged at last, Dos't pant to roam again thy native wild 1 To gloat upon the life blood flowing fast Of thy crushed victims; and to slay the child, To dabble in the gore of wives, and mothers, . 4nd kill, old Turk, thy harmless pale faced brothers 7 For' it was cruel, Black Hawk, thus to flutter The dove-cotes of the peaceful pioneers, To let thy tribe commit such fierce, and utter thn fnlWa of the frontiers. Though thine be old hereditary hate, Begot in wrongs, and nursed in blood, until It had become a madness, 'tis too late .rm - I J 1 - 1 iL J Ml 10 crusn me noraei wno nave me power, aim win To rob thee of thy hunting grounds, and fountains, And drive thee backward to the Kocky Mountains. S pite of thy looks of cold indifference, there's much, thou'st seen that roust excite thy wonder. Wakes not upon thy quick and startled sense The cannon's harsh and pealing voice of thunder ? Our big canoes withwhite and wide-spread wings, That sweep the waters as birds sweep the sky; Our steamboats, with their iron lungs, like things Of breathing life, that dash and hurry by 7 Or if thou scorn'st the wonders of the ocean, y nav uunK si mou oi oui roiuuau wwuiuuuu ? . Thou'st seen our museums, beheld the dummies, That grin in darkness in their coffin cases : Whatthink'stthouoffheart of making mummies, So that the worms shrink from their dry embraces 1 Thou'st seen the mimic tyrants of the stage -Strutting in paint and feathers for an hour Thou'st heard the bellowings of their tragic rage, Seen their eye3 glisten and dark brows lower. Anon, thou'st seen them with their wrath cool'd down, Pass in a moment from a king to clown. Thou seest these things unmoved, say'st so, old fellow? T hen tell me, have the white man's glowing daughters Set thy cold blood in. motion? Has't been mellow, By a sly cup or so of our fire waters ? They arethypeople'a deadliest poison they Virst make them cowards, and then, white men's slaves, And sloth, and poverty, and passion's prey, And lives of misery, and early graves. For by their power, believe me, not a day goes, Cut kills some Foxes, Sacs, and Winnebagoes. Say, does thy wandering heart stray far away ? To the deep bosom otthy forest liome, The hill side, where thy young pappooses play, And ask amid their sports when thou wilt come ? Come not the wailings of thy gentle squaws. For their lost warrior loud upon thine ear, Viercing athwart the thunder of huzzas, That, veiled at every corner, meet thee here 1 The wife who made that shell decked wampam belt, Thy rugged heart must think of her and melt. Chafes not thy heart as chafes the panting breast Of the caged bird against his prison bars, That thou, the crowned warrior of the west, The victor of a hundred forest wars, Should'st in thy age become a raree show, Ied like a walking bear about the town, A new caught monster, who is all the go, And stared at gratis, by the gaping clown ? Boils not thy blood, while thus thou'rt led about, The sport and mockery of the rabble rout 1 Whence came thy cold philosophy ? whence came, Thou tearless, stern and uncomplaining one, The power that Jaught thee thus to veil the flame Of thy fierce passions? Thou despisest fun, And thy proud spirit scorns the white men's glee 6ave thy fierce sport, when at the funeral pile, Of bound warrior in his agony, Who meets thy horrid laugh with dying smile Thy face, in length, reminds one of a Quaker'?, Thy dances, too, are solemn as a Shaker's. Proud scion of a noble stem t thy tree Is blanched, and bare, and seared and leafless now. I'll not insult its fallen majesty, Or drive with careless hand, the ruthless plough Over its roots.- Torn from it3 parent mould, " Hich, warm and deep, its tresh free balmy air IVo second verdure quickens in our cold New barren earth, no life sustains it there. But even though prostrate, 'tis a noble thino". Though croWnless, powerless, u every inch a king." Give us thy hand, old nobleman of nature, Proud leader of the forest aristocracy , x The best of blood flows from thy every feature, And thy curled lip 9peaks scorn for our democracy, , Thou wearest thy titles on that god-like brow j 1 Let him who doubts them, meet thine Eagle eye ; He'll quail beneath its glance, and disavow All question ofthy noble familyf i?or thou may'st here become, with strict propriety, A leader in our city of good society. ROCKS OF LAKE SUPERIOR. SV GOVERNOR CASS. ; Upon the southern coast of Lake Superior, about fifty mile from the "Falls of St. Mary, are the immense precipitous! cliffs, called by the voyagers, Le Pottrail and the pictured Rocks. This name has been given them in consequence of the different appearance which k y SFesent t0 le traveller, as he passes their Aase m his canoe. It requires little aid ffom imagination to discern in them the castel indeveral0fty d0IPpires and pinnacles, These cl4S g S Vng to n elevation of 5 ievei pi ine iaive, ana tt i v C' . W.. -ine VOVafrere nav efeyfrfi rnaist ,.!: .r.",',8w never c&Eri-fcAd:the Indians, befbretwS7 TVZ:a"Zi'' r m7 '".we most jirofo make dationi miMyf vw uwia ouLUBiomea oblations i ifirntri Hate the Yaror of their Tnn, , r. lo no jftrtifot a single place pf security; but th 32rcft li-vaia. With an impggsabie 'barrier panse ot water on the other, a sudden storm upon the lake would as inevitably assure des truction of the passenger in his frail canoe, as if he were on the brink of the cataract of Niagara; The rock itself is a sandstone, which is disejiteCTatecpby ,the continual action of the waterith' comparative facilty. There are no broken masses upoiy which the eye can rest and find relief. The lake is so deep, that these masses as they are tornfjrom the preci pice, are concealed beneath its water until it is reduced to sand. The action of the waves has undermined I every projecting point; and there the immense precipice rests upon arches, and the foundation is intersected with caverns in everv direction. When we" Dassed this immense fabric of nature the wind was still, and the lake was calm. But even the slightest motion of the waves, which in the most profound calm, agi tates these internal seas, swept through the deep covers with the noise of distant thunder, and died away upon the ear, as it rolled forward in the dark recesses inaccessible to human observation. No sound more melancholy or more awful ever vibrated upon hu man nerves. It has left an impression which neither time nor distance can ever efface. Resting in a frail bark canoe upon the limpid waters of the lake, we seemed almost suspend ed in the air, so pellucid is the element upon which we floated. In gazing upon the tower ing battlements which impended over us, and from which the smallest fragment would have destroyed us, we felt, and felt intensely, our own insignificance. No situation can be im agined more appalling to the courage, or more humbling to the pride of man. We appeared like a speck upon the face of creation. Our whole party, Indians and voyagers and sol fliers, omcers and servants, contemplated in a mute astonishment the awful display of crea tive power, at whose base we hung; and no sound broke up n the ear to interrupt the ceasless roaring of the waters. No splendid cathedral, no temple built with human hands, no pomp ot worsnip could ever impress the spectator with such humility, and so strong a conviction of the immense dis tance between him and the Almighty Ar chitect. A Smasher. If Rhode Island be the smal lest state in the Union, sfie can tell as larsre stories as any of her sisters, as will be perceived by the following, which we copy from the Provi dence Herald: Mr. Editor. I have lately noticed a " Snake otory, going ine rounds qi ine papers, in which it is stated that a snake having been cutj into three pieces, the head and tail were re joined, to the exclusion of the mid le part, and moved off as though his snakeship were uncon scious of having been deprived of any part of his corporation. I do not refer to this story, because I doubt its truth ; for it is nothing more than an every day occurrence; and there are some species of snakes that have ! all their joints marked and numbered ; so that if any of them happens to be severed from each other, they go to work and replace them with the same accuracy, as a carpentor would the tenons j and morticls of a house frame. I have fre quently seen snakes cut up into pieces not more than an inch long; and in less than five minutes afterwards, seen them running off at full speed, and, in every respect, as perfect in their appear ance, as though nothing had happened to them ! Butthe rattle snake,and the blacksnakc, not being acquainted with marks and numbers, are sometimes liable to sad mistakes in this res pect; one of which, I once witnessed, I fell in with one of each of these species of reptiles near to each other. The black snake had coiled his tail around a small branch, and the rattle snake in the act of springing at him, made such a furious lounge, that in uncoiling himself, he snapped in two in the middle! The black snake in throwing himself out of the reach ofhis enemy, keeping his hold on the bush at thesame time, performed the evolution with so much force and velocity, that he suffered the same fate! Each of the heads, forgetting for the moment its hostile feeling, scrambled for a tail. But, in their haste, the two heads backed up to each other, and the moment they came together, they were completely united. ' Here was a dilemma; one head supposing itself uni ted to its own tail, made a movement to be off. The other supposing the same thing, made a similar attempt, but as one was pulling one way, and the other another way, the more they tried, the more they could not do it ; until at length :hey pulled themselves apart! Another attempt was made; whenbyanotflersad mistake, the rattle snake took possession of the tail of the black snake, and the black snake unused to the appendage of the rattles, became very much alarmed at their un wonted noise, supDOsed the rattle-snalcp to be close at 'his heels, and actually ran himself to death, to escape from his imaginary pursuer ! The rattle snake on the other hand, continually brandished his stolen tail, but without effect; until discovering the fatal error, he swelled, bursted, .and died of sheer raire and mortification! VERITAS Selling a Doa. Dick Lazybones was the ownsr of a large dog, which it cost as much to keep a it would two pigs ; and the dog besides was utteily useless. Nay, he was woise ; than useless, for in addition to the expense of keep Agr r0and S-atlyanno Plague take the dog!" said she, "Mr. La zybones, I do wish you would sell him, or kill him, or do something or other with him He's more plague than his rotten neck is worth always lying in the corner and eating more than it would take to maintain three children. I wonder you will keep such a useless animal " " iTT en, wcij, my ucaij 9u jlick, sav nn more about it. I'll get rid of him one of these days." This was intended as a mere get-off on the part of Dick; but as his wife kept daily dinning in liis ears about the dog, he was at length com pelled to take some order on the subject. "Well, wife," said he one day, as he came in, "I've sold JowleK" T "Have you, indeed!" says she, brightening Hiuig0pd nwt"J'ni dreadful glad of it. of rocks on one side and an interminable Lex-. How much did you sell him jforrmy- dear 1" ."Fifty dollars." j " Fifty dollars! What fifty dollars for one dog?H6w glad I am! That'll almost buv us a good horse.. But. Where's the money, my love?" Money!" said Dick, shifting a lonirnine lazily to the other corner ofhis mouth, "I didn't get any money I took two puppies, at 35 dol lars a piece. "Any tin pite vou dare?" enauired one Dutchman of another engaged in angling : 'No, uottingat all.! "Vejl" returned the other, noumg pue me too.? A Good Hit.-A Philadelphia editor remarks. that Black Hawk, while at the Theatre in that city, was astonished at nothing until he heard Jim Crow called for the fourth time. It might well astonish any one to find a polite and en lightened public pleased with such silly and ridiculous exhibitions Bait. Rev. Accusation and Acduital. A person looking over the catalogue of professional gentlemen of 'the bar, with his! pencil wrote against the name of one who was; of bustling order, 4 Has been accused of possessing talents.' Another seeing the accusation, immediately wrote un der the charge, 'Has eer tried and acquitted.' A gentleman in Scotland, writing to his friend in Washington says: "Emigration goes on at an immense rate ; and it is not now the . i j i 1 , i . . poor ana ine laoorers only, mat are going, but men of capital, farmers, and men of prop erty. America is all the go: So extensive is the desire to remove, that many, very many, are setting out who never would have thought ofit." Dr. Franklin, in one ofhis letters while on an excursion from England to France, remarks "Trarelling is one way of lengthening life, at least in appearance. It is but about a fort night since we left London, but the variety of scenes we have gone through, makes it seem equal to six months living in one place." At Bremen there is a wine cellar, called the store, where it is said five hogsheads ofRhen ish wine had been Preserved since the vnar , - j - 1525. These five hogsheads cost 1200 francs ; had this sum been put out to compound int r est, each hogshead would now be worth about a thousand rillions of money; a botile of this precious wine would cost 2! ,799,480 francs; I and a single wine glass, 2,73,808 francs.
