I am iiAPr-Y," said the maiden, As she thought of him she loved; -l am happy, in this garden, x' He has said that me he loved, And described the glowing future, ' When life's joys should all be ours!" "I am happy," said the miser, As he counted or his gold, 'Ah! full many an enterpriser, Long before his wealth was told, Died of sickness or of sorrow, ' Whilst that I a happy man, Left to dream of sweet to-morrow, Count my thousands whilst I can! I am happy," said the mother, As she kissed her darling babes; With my children f had rather Meet and struggle with life's waves, Than with thousands for my treasure, And my children from my side, Ah, no jewels e'er can measure A mother's love and mother's pride!" "I am happy," said the farmsr, As he views his golden graiu; In his cottage is his charmer, Him to welcome home again; And the shepherd with his lamblets, Deems there's none so free as he, Wraps around him his coarse camlet, "None so happy," sings, "as me!" But the tempest swept the ocean, And the maiden's lover there Sank amid the wild commotion, 'Mid the shouts of wild despairi But the miser and his treasure Locked together by some foe, Conntshis goldte kill his leisure, Starves and dies in want and woe! And the mother as she kissed them, Saw her children droop and cry, Laid them ilown but truly blessed them, Prayed and wept, but saw them die! And the farmer and his fellow Meet with disappointments too, O'er their fond hopes droop the willow, Thus are all things here "below! Said the Christian, "I am dying, And am happy in the thought That in Heaven, of grief and sighing, And of sorrow there is naught; Thus e'er fleeing are earth's pleasures Disappointments daily sure; riacein Heaven your choicest treasures, None but Heavenly joys endure." The Comet to Strike the Earth neat June. A writer on tins subject in the St. Louis Republican says: 1. There arc astronomical calculations of the orbit of the coming comet that war rant the prediction that it will touch the earth. 2. Science can calculate the orbit of thi eccentric comet, no matter how long its period, and I predict, unhesitatingly, that the comet now approaching will come in contact with the earth on the morning of the lGth of June, aVmt twenty minutes after 10 o'clock, and the point of contact will be in the vicinity of a place called -Vide Pou che or Carondelct. 3. The nucleus of this comet is very large, and composed of the bisulphurretted car bonate of the protoxside of manganese. The tail is chlorine, and although you can not see stars through it, they av ill probably be seen by many individuals at the time of the collision. The world should be grateful to this writer for the certainty with which he predicts the "collision," and the exact ness with whichhe describes the compo nent parts of the expected visitor. .But "e should not forget that He who made i.u4 Oveiws tae boundless Universe (Controls &e movants of these and all .other fceayenly bodies, aad science falls wheroyer it eoinos in opposition to the known laws' of JDiyine Providence. Baltimore Sunt Marvellous Story." ,Thc Tipton Advertiser, published in toya, contains a story apparently . in imitation of Poe's "Case of M. Yalde ner " It is contained in a letter from Dr. John Moreton, and relates to the ease of a patient of his who disa greed with his wife, she believing in spiritual manifestations while ho scout- ) i, " 01.. j?-1 1.11: 1 ,;tk uu uitiu. one uicu, teuiug 111m mi" her last breath, that on his death bed she would appear to him in the body. A few weeks after he died, Dr. John Moreton being then present, and as he wasv gasping his' last, a most horrible body, through whose "decaying flesh the white bones gleamed, and from whose rotten limbs dropped loathsome grave worms upon the floor, entered the room. This horrible form said, "Come! Wil liam! they, wait for you -I wait," and fell to the floor, where it remained the next day, and the body of the husband being conveyed away, the house was burned. This story is supported by two or three affidavits, taken before 'James Maylor, notary public for" Grand Tra verse county, Michigan. Sdl'ng a Man at Auction in Illinois. The Sheriff of St. Clair county adver tises a negro man for sale at public auc tion, he being guilty of the "high mis demeanor" of having come into the, State of Illinpis and remaining there ! for ten days, for which offence he was fined $50, as provided by the Black Law of 1853, and in defiult of paying which fine, the Sheriff of the county in which he was found is directed t sell him fo any body willing to pay the $50. Those free soil papers at the north, which wtre so shocked a few weeks aizo at tiie iaea or selling tree negroes in : Georgia to pay their taxes, would do well to make a note of the above. II u m ilia I in j D ico r cry . Humanity need not be proud. If the new work 6u ''Indigenous R sices of Earth," just produced by Dr. Nott and George 11. .Gliddon,, s-upportel by the't scientific testimony of such sarans as Agassiz, Maury, Pulsky, Meigs, Berard, Dumontier, fcc, may be believed, men were originally ' monkeys beyond dis pute, and are now but. improved speci mens of the ouranr outann! The white and the black mau are thus demonstra ted to belong to two distinct species of the animal, each derived from a distinct ' species of the shniaz, 'or monkey tribe. ; What a subject of contemplation for our more arrogant fellow creatures. N. Y. Times. Womayi as a Physician. The Irish patriot O'Brien, in his work on the Principles of Government, says: "The medical art is an occupation peculiarly adapted for female practition ers. That women, when suffering from disease, should be under the necessity of consulting men, is a prjetice obvious ly repugnant to every, natural senti ment of delicacy. Women, therefore, instead of being excluded from the med ical profession, ought ra her to be en couraged to qualify thcmselres for its exercise, and to practice it under a di ploma, with the same sanction that is accorded to medical graduates of the male sex." Intemperate Use of Snuff. Mrs. Mary S. Clenn, wife of Win. Glenn, died at Prattsvillc, Ala., on the lGth instant, from tho intemperate use of snuff. Adulterated Liquors. Dr. Hiram Cox, chemical inspector of alcoholic liquors in Cincinnati, states, in an address to his fellow-citizens, that during two years he has ma le 210 in spections of various kinds of liquor, and has found more than nine-tenths of them imitations, and a great portion of them poisonous concoctions. Of bran dy he does not believe there is one gal lon of pure in a hundred gallons, the imitations having corn whiskey for a basis, and various poisonous acids for the condiments. Of wines not a gallon iu a thousand, purporting to be sherry, port, sweet Malaga, &e., Is pure, but they are made of water, sulphuric acid, alum, Guinea pepper, h rse raddish, &c., and. many of them without a single drop of alcoholic-spirit. Dr. Cox war rants there aii not ten gallons of genu ine port wine in Cincinnati. In his in spections of whiskey he has found only from 17 to 20 per cent, of alcoholic spirit; Avhen it should have 45 to 50, and some of it contains sulphuric acid enough-iu a quart to cat a hole through a man's stomach. '- A Cure for love. A young mulatto, in Danbury, Conn., paid his devoir to a white girl, vho fa vovel his suit, whereupon" some young men took the fellow into a lane and basted the dusky and ambitious Romeo until his tender passion was quite subdued. 11!!
