II SLEEP. FROM THB GERMAN. Sleep, strange spirit, I would win My way unto the silent place, Where thou hast rule, And look upon thy veiled face. Around the porches of thy throne, The hosts of spectral shadows stand With folded wings, Awaiting what thou shalt command. Strange shapes and countless as the stars ! Some meek-eyed young and angel bright, Some pule and wan Some darker than the dreary night. Fair hands uphold a wealth of flowers,— Cold hands entwine the ;veed and thorn,— Bright visions smile— And lonely phantoms ever mourn. These, as they wiil, our pillow haunt, The fairer cheat us with their grace, The darker forms The earlier paths of life retrace. I fain would close the ebon door, By whicli these spirits outward fly, And never more Discern thee with the inward eye. Yet will they throng, until the veil Is lifted by my parting breath, Aud silent sleep Gives place unto her sister death. From tho Louisville Journal. The East Soliloquy. Lite's sun sinks down at last! The solemn splendor of its farewell rays Fades from the aims that lured me through the past, And their true, worth glares on my startled gaze; Until a lip half chill And trembling witb a weight of parting breath Sneers at the gilded-things that once could thrill! But ah, it sneers too late ! the shades of—death Are stretching nearer, aud—-I'll muse awhile On—that which now but serves to wreathe a fearful smile. I've walked a crowded world In glittering isolation, high and proud, With a stern lip that quivered while it curled; I've heard the voice of glory deep and loud Breathe praise that echoed on Until my name became a splendid—sound, A cadence lhat will haunt when I am—gone ; And call men's reverence when 'tis breathed around. And shine most luringly on marble heapg When fame's cold starlight falls, and one who suffered—sleeps ! A mystic night is nigh That bring.- no dreams to make the slumberer start, Or lift the heavy lid from the dimmed eye, Or thrill the sad strings of the weary heart. And I shall rest; nor hear The wait of winds nor see the hues of flowers, Though Autumn's mournful voice may murmur near And Springs sweet incense rise from blooming bowers; Then long, lo-.ig years will wander past While men will sigh and wish the lingering hours flew fast. Ah ! do I press my brow ? Wears it not laurels ? what have/ to fear? Remorseless \oice, why wilt thou mock me now ? Why ask did wreaths of glory save it here From burnings and from stings ? Alas! I know that they can awe not there— Iu that still place of shadows and strange things Fcr those who have borne all Fate bids them bear; Where I shall—moulder like to common clay 'Till this broad brow be dust—vaiu thought, away, away! Let mind soar far and high— It should be glorious while 'tis doomed to .wait: Wby has it bent to earthly musings ? Why Thought of the grave and not its own veiled fate? Alas ! am I above The common crowd—except in misery 1 Perchance they feel as much deep, earnest love For lovely things and worship silently; While I've sought to relieve my burning brain And spoke wild, fiery words, but spoke in yain, in vain. There is a Heaven ! Some die And are content to go and ask no more ; ■'Tis all that we should seek to know ; but I Must gaze above me wildly aud implore— Crying, "My God! Where is the spirit's goal? I've watched the sun—can our last home be there? I've seen a myriad stars—does the free soul Float in those bright barks through blue seas of air ? I go, with some slight shuddering, through the gloom, And much deep joy, for now I'll learn our final doom. Q-joti>;g FRouBm-nsH Authority.-British authorities in our courts are considered standard authorities for reference on doubtful points of law. The late Judge Daniels of Virginia used to tell with great glee, how, when a young man on the circuit, he saved a client's life solely because the opposite counsel quoted British authorities. It occurred during the last war, when the English squadron under Admiral Cockburn, was ascending the Potomac river, burning and plundering the villages along its banks, a negro man was arraigned for the murder of one of his own color ; the offence was clearly proved, and the only chance for his escape was a slight informality in the indict ment. The prosecuting attorney, in reply to Mr. Daniels' defence of his client, quoted from"British authorities, showing clearly that the ground taken by the latter was untenable. While he was quot- and speaking, at intervals, bang! bang! bang! went the cannon from the British squadron. Dan- ielsroseto answer; aud with-great tact seized bold of the strong point of his opponent's cause turned it completely against him. " Gentlemen," said he to the bench " the prose-' cuting attorney quotes, on this occasion, British authorities! Can there be any one except himself, so dead to feelings of patriotism, as at such a moment to listen to British authorities when British cannon are shaking the very walls of this court house to their foundation? I pause for a reply." Up jumped one of the justices, highly excited by the appeal, and thus addressed the prosecuting attorney: " Look here, Mr. A., you had better strike a bee-line from this court house with your British authorities, or I'll commityou ! Prisoner. youoan go! Crier, adjourn the court? British authorities be d——d !" The prosecuting attorney was struck all in a heap at this extrajudicial proceeding, .and re- signedhis office the very next day.

BT JOHN 0. SAXEi Dear Charles be pursuaded to wed—• For a sensible fellow like you, It's high time to think of a bed And muffins aud coffee fof two. So have done with your doubts and delaying— With a soul so adapted to mingle. No wonder the neighbors are saying 'Tia singular you should be single! Don't say that you havn't got time— That business demands your attention- There is not the least reason or rhyme In the wisest excuse you can mention. Don't tell me about " other fish"— Your duty is done when you buy 'em!— Aud you never will relish the dish, Unless you've a woman to fry 'em I Yon may dream of poetical fame, But your wishes may chance to miscarry— The best way of sending one's name To posterity, Charles, is to marry! And here I am willing to own, After soberly thinking upon it, I'd very much rather be^known By a beautiful eon than a sonnet! Then Charles, bid your doubting-good bye, Aud dismiss all fanatic alarms— I'll be sworn you've a girl in your eye. 'Tis your duty to have in your arms! Some trim little maiden of twenty, A beautiful azure-eyed elf, With virtues and graces in plenty, And no failing but loving yourself! Don't search for an " angel" a minute— For, granting you win iu the sequel, The deuce, after all, would be in it, With a union so very unequal I The angels, it must be confessed, In this world are rather uncommon ; And allow me, dear Charles, to suggest You'll be better content with a woman I Then there's the economy, dear, By poetical algebra shown-^- If your wife has a grief or tear, One-half by the laws, is your own I And as to the joys, by division They're nearly quadrupled, 'tis said— (.Though I never could see the addition Quite plain in the item of bread.) ^*» "aa ii ,** A Forward Youtu.—"Define the difference between experimental philosophy and natural philosophy," said a schoolmaster to one ofthe most forward ofhis pupils. "Why, sir," replied the boy—"experimental philosophyis our asking you to give ua a halfholi day ; and natural philosophy is your saying,— " dou't you wish you may get it ?" A New Disease.—A friend of mine, passing a house, observed a little child at the door with what he considered a very dangerous plaything, viz, a chisel ; cod thinking it kinduess, accordingly stepped ia to inform the parent: "Madam," said he, "'are you aware your child has got the chisel V " Whyf the mercy on me," exclaimed the mother. " Well, I knew something was the matter, for the child has been ailing for a long time." My friend left instanter.- "Did you know Dr. Wier?" asked an inquisitive gentleman in one of the Philadelphia ears of a Northampton County Dutchman. "Dr. Veer?" he replied. "Veil, den, yaas, I know-'d him a little. I seed him once-t. We was on dat shteampoat vat vash plow'd up mit tep'iler ba'stin' by Pitsburgh dere ; and w'en I vash goin' on deshore by de plauk,he and de shmoke pipe vash comiu' clown. I never seen htm pefore nor sense." Women and Beauty,—An exchange says: " God intended all women to be beautiful, as much as lie did the roses and the moruing glories; and what He intended they should become, they would, i' thev should cbey his laws, and cut indolence and corset-strings, and indulge in freedom and fresh air. For a girl to expect to be handsome, with the action ofher lungs dependant upon the expansive nature ofa cent's worth of tape, is as absurd as to look for tulips in a snow-bank, or a full grown calc in a flower-pot. Hope writes the poetry of a boy, but memory that ofa man. Man looks forward with smiles but backward with sighs. Such is the Prcvideuce of Gcd. The cup of life is sweetest at the brim : the flavor is impaired as we drink deeper, and the dregs are made bitter, that we may not struggle when it is taken from our lips. Overcome,—Miss Eliza Logan was playing an engagement at Albany, and one evening during the play of the " Hunchback." just as she said, "Clifford, why don't you speak tome?" one of the spectators replied iu an audible voice, " Do Clifford; I would if she'd talk to me in that way." Life.—People talk about the dull routine of or dinary existence ; the quiet, common pace monotony with which the mass of mankindpassthrough life. There is no such thing as quiet, common place monotony. Every life is full of incidents, and every heart is full of feeling-bnt they are not all published. The heart knoweth its own bitterness, and a stranger imtermeddleth not with its J°J3- Mind and Body—By too much sitting the body becomes unhealthy, and soon the mind.- Tbis is Nature's law. She will never see her children wronged. If the mind which rules the body, ever forgets itself, so far as to trample upon its slave, the slave is never generous enough to forgive the injury, but will raise and smite its oppressor, Thus has many a monarch mind beeu dethroned, "Well, Mrs. Lanagan, did you put the blister on your ch"st, ae you promised ? And did it rise ? " Why, then, mistress dear, the never a chest I had to put it upon, but sure I have a little bit of box, and I put it on that, but sorra a rise it rose, and if you don't believe me. come and see, for it's sticking there still, I'm thinking." "Bob, by sitting on that side of the cars, you are missing all the sights on this side." "Never mind, Tom, I am sighting all the misses on this side." _ "Mire, can I have the exquisite pleasure of rolling ihe wheel of conversation around the axeltree of your understanding for a few minutes this evening ■ The lady fainted. gaUhTei110*-86 des!refi' and Bometimea es«°- r Brown you said the defendant was honest temgent, what makes you think so. are yon d wtthh.m?"

Ketsville, Cal., 12th 7th Month, 1856. CHAP. 1. Editor Star :—'* When in the course of human events, It becomes necessary " to scribble a scrawl of "local matter"—the " News about Town"—I sometimes ,; buclcle on my armor," and prepare for the battle. Should any one, at any time, take umbrage at my crude " inklings," I will hold myself responsible, personally, or otherwise, for everything I write. I'll state naught but what '■friendship, love and truth " will dictate -.-—"nothing extenuate, or aught set down in malice," but shall freely, "without fear or affection," express my sentiments and vitws of matters and things. This is my first chapter, which, if you deem worthy of publication, or interesting to your manifold reader?., you are at liberty to " print," or cast to the " devil."} You may en pansant, tell the community of this vicinity, who read with ineffable avidity, not only your excellent editorials, but all "matter" you select — Editors must, some'imes, like the hair-dressers use the "shears;"—(they not un- freauenlly "form" a "line" to see a "para* graph " or " column " of the " Star," often peep o'er the shoulders of those perusing, who pay for their papers)—that some may, in future communications, be prepared for earthquakes. Why do not they themselves subscribe or get Uncle Davy Smith, our L<os Angeles expressman, [Tom Hestor is our expressman from Stocttton via Mariposa, Visalia, &c.] to bring them " Stars " semi monthly. I don't mean,- Certainly, fixed or heavenly stars, but those cfarM/eing, type'ical constellation. This town, (cove,-it should properly be styled.) is surrounded by mountains, upon which are -rocks upon rocks confusedly piled," looking like so many colossal towers, reaching, as it were, to the azure canopy, liued with ever-greeos and shrubberyo every imaginable species; with "mam" moth " oaks and pines, standing as proud sentinels (,to see that the " w jodman " should " spare that tree " around which are entwined, akin to tbe ivy, vines of every imaginable description,) which afford shelter aud shade aud protection to the rabbit, hare, deer and other game, which are '• Natives " of this region. In the dim distance, thro' the aperture or great road which Nature has, for some good and wise purpose, formed, you perceive the meandering Rio Kern, clothed with the habiliments of beauty—a lovely carpet of green, presenting a scene surpassingly interesting, delightful, picturesque and sublime! There are at present two stores iu this place, where can be fouad ev :ry article that is requisite lor the wants of minersand others. The principal house is that of Captain James Blackburn, a very worthy, honest and high minded gentleman ; and the other establishment is kept by Messrs. Wm. Marsh and W. L. Kennedy, also very clever men, and formerly residents of Los Angeles. The Sist named gentleman lately purchased a ranch atPosa Flat, a few miles distant from this place, which I think, ere ten years, be worth §50,000. Judge Steck ha3 also taken up a ranch, on the Little Pusa, which bids fair to make, by proper care and management, a lovely place. Captain Blackburn's ranch, is unquestionably one of the most beautiful seats iu this section of California, with the exception of Mr. W. P. Lynn's. Mr. Lynn, this yeaiyexpects to raise about 150 tons ot potatoes, 150 tons of hay, besides various other produce. The Fourth of Jcly was strictly observed on Kern River, by having a horse race—(I beg your pardon Mr. Ed., oue was a mare,)—a cock-fight, (two neighboring chickens, becoming a little jealous I suppose, about their iduraage, had a regular ': pitched battle" on the Plaza, in front of Capt. Blackburn's house,) drinking toddies,—i'm speaking about (he men,—playing euchre, and but never mind what. The ladies, (be it known to your citizens, and "the people of California " generally, that we have ladies heie, accomplished ones too, at that,) also apparently enjoyed themselves by visiting and re-visiting each other, aud partaking of good and delicious dinners, (the "best the markets afford,")— dinners that old Epicurus himself, in h:s palmiest days of enjoyment, might envy being prepared for any other than himself. This place and vicinity, subsequent to the great excitement of 1854, (when people, of almost every county in the State, rushed to this precinct,) became, at one time, (perhaps is yet "faraway,") in bad repute ; not only so far as morals were en- eased in the buget of vilification, but that, as a miningdistrict.it was almost worthless ! This report was doubtless promulgated by individuals feeling indisposed to work, and who preferred, as an easier occupation, lounging upon the " free aud easy " seats at the Hotels, and obtaining their " gin co.-ktails upon time." This kind uf people, thank God, have departed—left the country. They were the persons that circulated abroad the slanderous, perHdious aud infamous lies, that the "dig. giugs " were not as " good '? as tbey were at first supposed to be on Kern' River and its tributaries. Miners are averaging now only from $2 to $4, per day, with the "rocker," upon the river ; but on Greenhorn Gulch, (about 10 miles S. W. of this place,) some miners are taking out of their " caves" S5, to the single pan. Now about our place. I mean Keysville. The editorial in your issue of July the 5th, is true iu every particular, with the exception that, although the Greenhorn goldia beautiful, yet only $14. instead of $16", is given for it; and that which might lead people to suppose by your ' saying that " a discovery ofa rich quartz lead has recently been irade at Keysville, which is spoken of as very rich " there were no other leads here worthy of notice. It is proper and just, to let the people of Southern California know what we have got up here—not that we desire every "Tom, Dick and Harry " to come,—hut for tbe purpose that good, and honest men can come and explore, if they Ld please, the avenues or veins of gold-bearing quartz -q these clefts and mountains, and perchaace reap a rioh harvest for their labor. There are at present, in the town of Keysville fourteen arastas in full operation, (all doing well) and a number of veins "recently" discovered, which, no doubt, manyofyour citizens would much desire to own. Besides, Capt. Thomas Maltby, Indian Agent tor this place, formerly of San Francisco, is nuw erecting a quartz mill on the rivi r, to be propelled by water power of over twenty horse power—his quartz being exceedingly rich— which will be in working order in about three months; and he also intends in connection with his partners, Messrs. Charles S. Saroni and John H. Brown, of San Francisco, to put up another mill, to be worker! by steam, on Greenhorn Gulch, which I have no doubt, will prove infinitely lucrative, inasmuch as the specimens of quartz which hive been taken out, are considered, by experienced miners, to be exceedingly rich. Capt. Maltby has now in his employ about lb laborers, who are receiving fair wages—from $50 to $70 per month- We have here good families, of education and respectability, and soon shall have other families from the Atlantic States ; and I predict that this Camp will, before maoy months, be a point of no inconsiderable importance and note. Veins- quartz veins, I mean—are daily discovered by the enterprising portion ot our communiiy. I would say to the people abroad, you need have no besl tancy to emigrate to tbis spot, provided you are honest and upright; foryou will not only be well received by the populace, but I presume, if nothing ofa Divine interposition intervenes, you cau make a good living—probably money. Things go on here very quietly. We have no "Vigilance Committee," as yet, nor has there been any use for one ; the major portion ofthe citizens, however, think that the Committee in San Francisco have been productive of good, by ridding our State of some evil and " desperate wicked " and dangerous characters ; they say that to them, their course is perfectly " .tat in factory." This feeling, however, amongst tbe people, is by no means unanimous—some taking sides for, aud some against, some of the actions ot that Vigilance Committee Some of our best citizens are oi the opinion that this Committee will carry " the matter too far." and consequently desire a cessation, for fear that it may engender bad feelings, animosity, or eruptions ofa civil character, which would cost a great deal of blood shed, and possibly bring the Federal Government in hostile conflict with that of cur State. I hope sincerely th it such a direful occurrence may never take place, and that those late eventful periods may not lead to such' a course. I will not give my private opinion in regard to the affairs which bave been enacted ; but allow me to premise, that the great or paramount cause for the necessity of the existence of such an insti tution, originated from the undeniable and incontestable fact that good mid upright men, invariably would not act or sefve as jurors, vainly imagining that their business affairs '• would suffer" by attending to legal duty of that character. B sides, may it not be attributable to* the unerring fact that the people have not hitherto, in many instances, sent proper aud honorable members to our State Legis lature? I desire, also 10 enquire of you, whether or not this society, (of course not origii.ally gotten up for tbat purpose,) wears, and U»oks aud has the semblance of a sectional feeling— the north a.", the south. I would not desire to see, iu lhis_ our lovely and golden State, an a la Kansas insurrection. Being up here in the rugged fastneB^es ofthe mountains, scarcely ever obtaining anything, in thereading line to " look over" i. e. " all ofthe papers," I merely make application to you, for information. The Vigilance Committee has certainly done good to the community of Cal- fornia. and have now, I believe, the sympathies of the people with them to sweep the country of all venomous, groveling, dastardly, obnoxious reptiles in human form ; but let them not carry their, proceedings so tar that it may or can be construed lhat there is any uudermindii g, secret combination against our people, either north or south. In another chapter I will enlarge and give yon my views. To this subject, therefore, adieu. This place is certainly progressing very rapidly and "of course," I must say something more about it than I already have in my preliminary. We have ju*t had erected and completed, with the exception of the pews, a fine and quite a stately house, to be used by the citizens, for the three told purpose of a church, r;chool-room and for public meetings of every description that are not immoral in tbeir character. So liberal have the people been, that all the funds requisite for building and lurnishing the edilice, have already been paid to the Treasurer. So much at all events for Keysville. The school will be commenced in a few day3. and it is thought that the Rev. Mr. Snell will " hold forth" as our Pastor as soon as he may And it convenient. We have iu the place, also, a society known by the name ofthe "E. Clampsus Vitus,'" or Socialists' which increases in numbers rapidly. Their meetings are held in " Reubles building" on Blackburn street, near Water, and excites a great deal of wonder to " outsiders," who have not yet beeu initiated iuto the great aud no doubt profound mysteries. I must not forget to state that we have in circulation two petitions of an important character: one for the division of tbe County ot TuUtre, (ihis County,) aud one for a Po^t Office—we being 90 miles Irom ihe nearest office—both numerously signed. James Blackburn, Esq., is recommended as Post Master. That we will get the P. O. I do not entertain a single doubt. The division of the county may be set down as a questionable matter, as there are a few monied men that are opposed to the division, on account that it will increase the taxes. But this is unquestionably a mistaken idea or inference. We have four respectabTe boarding houses, one Restaurant, BowMng Saloon, Black-smith shop. Gun-smith shop, &c. &e. I will tell you too, that there is established here a monthly Newspaper called the (f Oourt Journal," edited by—I do not know who. When the next number appears I will send you a copy. You will make some selections from its columns, of course if It ia put forth in manuscript. The compositor is here, but the press has not yet arrived. I shall see tbat ihe ' Journal" shall not in any way interfere with tbe " Star." There waa an occurrence here on the 8th inst., which was not published in our paper, and fc-r fear that your readers, some of whom are always anxious to see such news, should miss it, I will have it inserted iu your sheet. It was a ditet that took—hold on, the duel did not take place—I intended to say that a kind of a challenge to fight a duel, passed between two gen* Semen ot this place, but the "pistols and coffee for two" have not yet been furnished-the difficulty (11 arn from one of the seconds,) is not, up to this writing, satisfactorily adjusted. Our population is increasing, not only by strangers coming from a distance, but tbere arrived in our midst, the other morning, a fine, healthy little boy. They say that he " was born when he was very young." This was the first birth that ever took place in Keysville. But we expect to hav» some more shortly. In consideration of high respect, allow me to subscribe myself, your most obedient servant, Pembroke Pi.mjkxet. JPersunal Apptarat te of Mr. I.KelioiifUi and Mr. B recite n rl rt^ e. Mr. Buchanan is very tall and English-looking, having a buily figure andfioridcomplexion. Thera is a defect or squint iu one of his eyes, which gives him a very peculiar expression, especially while looking at the ladies. Mr. Buchanan is slightly bald, aud his hair very gray—indeed almost white. His manner is cold, calm and dignified, and dec d- edly aristocratic. There is a peculiar expression of benevolence combined with firmness, which is very engaging. His face wins on you the mora you see it, Mr, Buchanan has either met with an aocident to his neck, or lias acquired a very disagreeable habit of jerking his head suddenly tlown,- as though his cravat was pinking him, his shirt collar tickling him under the ear. or something of the sort. When he squints one eye into a good, sly wink, and ducks his bead at the same time h» is looking at any of the fair sex, he certainly appears like an " old sinner,'5 and one disposed to forget his years, and the gravity of his distinguished posi ion before the world. Mr. Breckenridge is decidedly one of the noblest looking men iu the State of noble men. He has tbe eye of an eagle—large, blue, and full of expression. His bearing is that of a fearleas man, with a front to inspire awe aud admiration. Mr,. Breckenridge is a young mau, and remarkably young looking. He generally wears a frock coat buUoucd up cVosely. His figure ia tall unA graceful, and his whole air full of dignity and repose. The expression of Breckenridge's lower face indicates clearly the firmness aud steadiness ofhis character. There is a fixed appearance about ths jaws, as though he had a nail or otber hard substance between hia teeth — ibe certain indication of nerve. His manners are frank, plain and cordial, and to use a Kentucky expression, his heart is in the right place. He wiil preside over th* deliberations of the Senate of the Uuited States its presiding officer, if elected Vice President, with credit to himself, and with a thorough appreciation of the propriety aud dignity dus that august body icpsenting the conservative «ls- ment of our Go vera tn 'tit. .loin 1 C. BrecliciirUlge. The K. O. Courier has the following interesting ski-.tsh of the Democratic nominee for the Vice Presidency: The nomination of Mr. Breckinridge will be r»- ceived throtiguout the Union with a furore of en- thusiam, more especially amongst young men. H* is about thirty-eight years of age, a native of Ken-' tucky—a noble scion of one of the first rsettlers of that State. He had acquired distinction at th« bar at an early age. He was a Major in one of ths Kentucky regiments in the Mexican «ar, and acquired an enviable reputation for bis generous conduct towards his fellow-soldiers, for his excellence as an officer, and for bia gallant bearing. At the close of the war he returned to Kentucky, aud resuuud the practice ofhis profession. But his nobleness of character, his rare eloquence, ond above all, his unflinching devotion to Democratio principles, turned all eyes upou him as the fitting exponent oi the party. He was nominated for Congress in the district formerly represeu'ed by Clay, aud although he had a decided Wnig majority to overcome, he wa3 elected by a very flattering vote. Two years afterwards (in 1853) hs was re-nominated and re-elected by a still larger vote, although bis competitor waa the champion of the Whig party in the State, and a gentleman who.had never been beaten in any ofhis numerous political contests. No candidate ever conducted a canvass more ably, or iu a more gallant style. Wherever he spoke (which was four or five times a week for several months,) enthusiastic multitudes thronged to hear him, listening eagerly to h s lu id. logical and forcible reasoning, and his bold and vigorous eloquence. His course iu Congress, where be waa an active member from the first, and was soon recognised as the Democratic leader, was such as to secure tha cordial approbation ofhis friends at home, and to draw forth commendation from every portion of tbe country. In a word, as a lawyer, a soldier, a representative, or as a citizen, Breckenridge has always bssn found in the 1 ight place. TheDettji* crats of Kentucky are justly proud othim. ana iho Democrats of all other Slates sympathize iu tntur admiraii'on. . Mi'jor Breckenridge is a tall, Mender, and graceful form, eas^y aud self possessed in h.s movements, and commanding iu his bearing. _ H.* im.r. complexion, und eyes are dark, and Iin* ici.lui'^ «'-*-'- ."lain, the man of elevated cliani^er co..."**^. refinement and integrity. H.s voice is. cl . iuII and powerful, aod from the first to tbe last wmd of a disburse however long, the listener « impressed with his inexhaustible vigor and force. In his po- H cal addresses he seldom indulges in pleasantry m ornament but proceeds directly to matter, at SsSwUhsach clearness and power as to carry conviction to all unprejudiced minds. :

SLEEP.
FROM THB GERMAN.
Sleep, strange spirit, I would win
My way unto the silent place,
Where thou hast rule,
And look upon thy veiled face.
Around the porches of thy throne,
The hosts of spectral shadows stand
With folded wings,
Awaiting what thou shalt command.
Strange shapes and countless as the stars !
Some meek-eyed young and angel bright,
Some pule and wan
Some darker than the dreary night.
Fair hands uphold a wealth of flowers,—
Cold hands entwine the ;veed and thorn,—
Bright visions smile—
And lonely phantoms ever mourn.
These, as they wiil, our pillow haunt,
The fairer cheat us with their grace,
The darker forms
The earlier paths of life retrace.
I fain would close the ebon door,
By whicli these spirits outward fly,
And never more
Discern thee with the inward eye.
Yet will they throng, until the veil
Is lifted by my parting breath,
Aud silent sleep
Gives place unto her sister death.
From tho Louisville Journal.
The East Soliloquy.
Lite's sun sinks down at last!
The solemn splendor of its farewell rays
Fades from the aims that lured me through
the past,
And their true, worth glares on my startled gaze;
Until a lip half chill
And trembling witb a weight of parting breath
Sneers at the gilded-things that once could
thrill!
But ah, it sneers too late ! the shades of—death
Are stretching nearer, aud—-I'll muse awhile
On—that which now but serves to wreathe a fearful smile.
I've walked a crowded world
In glittering isolation, high and proud,
With a stern lip that quivered while it curled;
I've heard the voice of glory deep and loud
Breathe praise that echoed on
Until my name became a splendid—sound,
A cadence lhat will haunt when I am—gone ;
And call men's reverence when 'tis breathed
around.
And shine most luringly on marble heapg
When fame's cold starlight falls, and one who suffered—sleeps !
A mystic night is nigh
That bring.- no dreams to make the slumberer
start,
Or lift the heavy lid from the dimmed eye,
Or thrill the sad strings of the weary heart.
And I shall rest; nor hear
The wait of winds nor see the hues of flowers,
Though Autumn's mournful voice may murmur near
And Springs sweet incense rise from blooming
bowers;
Then long, lo-.ig years will wander past
While men will sigh and wish the lingering hours
flew fast.
Ah ! do I press my brow ?
Wears it not laurels ? what have/ to fear?
Remorseless \oice, why wilt thou mock me
now ?
Why ask did wreaths of glory save it here
From burnings and from stings ?
Alas! I know that they can awe not there—
Iu that still place of shadows and strange
things
Fcr those who have borne all Fate bids them
bear;
Where I shall—moulder like to common clay
'Till this broad brow be dust—vaiu thought, away,
away!
Let mind soar far and high—
It should be glorious while 'tis doomed to .wait:
Wby has it bent to earthly musings ? Why
Thought of the grave and not its own veiled
fate?
Alas ! am I above
The common crowd—except in misery 1
Perchance they feel as much deep, earnest
love
For lovely things and worship silently;
While I've sought to relieve my burning brain
And spoke wild, fiery words, but spoke in yain, in
vain.
There is a Heaven ! Some die
And are content to go and ask no more ;
■'Tis all that we should seek to know ; but I
Must gaze above me wildly aud implore—
Crying, "My God! Where is the spirit's goal?
I've watched the sun—can our last home be
there?
I've seen a myriad stars—does the free soul
Float in those bright barks through blue seas of
air ?
I go, with some slight shuddering, through the
gloom,
And much deep joy, for now I'll learn our final
doom.
Q-joti>;g FRouBm-nsH Authority.-British authorities in our courts are considered standard
authorities for reference on doubtful points of law.
The late Judge Daniels of Virginia used to tell
with great glee, how, when a young man on the
circuit, he saved a client's life solely because the
opposite counsel quoted British authorities. It
occurred during the last war, when the English
squadron under Admiral Cockburn, was ascending
the Potomac river, burning and plundering the
villages along its banks, a negro man was arraigned for the murder of one of his own color ; the offence was clearly proved, and the only chance for
his escape was a slight informality in the indict
ment. The prosecuting attorney, in reply to Mr.
Daniels' defence of his client, quoted from"British
authorities, showing clearly that the ground taken
by the latter was untenable. While he was quot-
and speaking, at intervals, bang! bang! bang!
went the cannon from the British squadron. Dan-
ielsroseto answer; aud with-great tact seized
bold of the strong point of his opponent's cause
turned it completely against him.
" Gentlemen," said he to the bench " the prose-'
cuting attorney quotes, on this occasion, British
authorities! Can there be any one except himself,
so dead to feelings of patriotism, as at such a moment to listen to British authorities when British
cannon are shaking the very walls of this court
house to their foundation? I pause for a reply."
Up jumped one of the justices, highly excited
by the appeal, and thus addressed the prosecuting
attorney: " Look here, Mr. A., you had better
strike a bee-line from this court house with your
British authorities, or I'll commityou ! Prisoner.
youoan go! Crier, adjourn the court? British
authorities be d——d !"
The prosecuting attorney was struck all in a
heap at this extrajudicial proceeding, .and re-
signedhis office the very next day.

Benedict's Appeal to a Bachelor.
BT JOHN 0. SAXEi
Dear Charles be pursuaded to wed—•
For a sensible fellow like you,
It's high time to think of a bed
And muffins aud coffee fof two.
So have done with your doubts and delaying—
With a soul so adapted to mingle.
No wonder the neighbors are saying
'Tia singular you should be single!
Don't say that you havn't got time—
That business demands your attention-
There is not the least reason or rhyme
In the wisest excuse you can mention.
Don't tell me about " other fish"—
Your duty is done when you buy 'em!—
Aud you never will relish the dish,
Unless you've a woman to fry 'em I
Yon may dream of poetical fame,
But your wishes may chance to miscarry—
The best way of sending one's name
To posterity, Charles, is to marry!
And here I am willing to own,
After soberly thinking upon it,
I'd very much rather be^known
By a beautiful eon than a sonnet!
Then Charles, bid your doubting-good bye,
Aud dismiss all fanatic alarms—
I'll be sworn you've a girl in your eye.
'Tis your duty to have in your arms!
Some trim little maiden of twenty,
A beautiful azure-eyed elf,
With virtues and graces in plenty,
And no failing but loving yourself!
Don't search for an " angel" a minute—
For, granting you win iu the sequel,
The deuce, after all, would be in it,
With a union so very unequal I
The angels, it must be confessed,
In this world are rather uncommon ;
And allow me, dear Charles, to suggest
You'll be better content with a woman I
Then there's the economy, dear,
By poetical algebra shown-^-
If your wife has a grief or tear,
One-half by the laws, is your own I
And as to the joys, by division
They're nearly quadrupled, 'tis said—
(.Though I never could see the addition
Quite plain in the item of bread.)

A Forward Youtu.—"Define the difference between experimental philosophy and natural philosophy," said a schoolmaster to one ofthe most
forward ofhis pupils.
"Why, sir," replied the boy—"experimental
philosophyis our asking you to give ua a halfholi
day ; and natural philosophy is your saying,—
" dou't you wish you may get it ?"
A New Disease.—A friend of mine, passing a
house, observed a little child at the door with
what he considered a very dangerous plaything,
viz, a chisel ; cod thinking it kinduess, accordingly stepped ia to inform the parent: "Madam,"
said he, "'are you aware your child has got the
chisel V
" Whyf the mercy on me," exclaimed the mother.
" Well, I knew something was the matter, for the
child has been ailing for a long time."
My friend left instanter.-
"Did you know Dr. Wier?" asked an inquisitive
gentleman in one of the Philadelphia ears of a
Northampton County Dutchman.
"Dr. Veer?" he replied. "Veil, den, yaas, I
know-'d him a little. I seed him once-t. We was
on dat shteampoat vat vash plow'd up mit tep'iler
ba'stin' by Pitsburgh dere ; and w'en I vash goin'
on deshore by de plauk,he and de shmoke pipe
vash comiu' clown. I never seen htm pefore nor
sense."
Women and Beauty,—An exchange says: " God
intended all women to be beautiful, as much as lie
did the roses and the moruing glories; and what
He intended they should become, they would, i'
thev should cbey his laws, and cut indolence and
corset-strings, and indulge in freedom and fresh
air. For a girl to expect to be handsome, with the
action ofher lungs dependant upon the expansive
nature ofa cent's worth of tape, is as absurd as to
look for tulips in a snow-bank, or a full grown calc
in a flower-pot.
Hope writes the poetry of a boy, but memory
that ofa man. Man looks forward with smiles
but backward with sighs. Such is the Prcvideuce
of Gcd. The cup of life is sweetest at the brim :
the flavor is impaired as we drink deeper, and the
dregs are made bitter, that we may not struggle
when it is taken from our lips.
Overcome,—Miss Eliza Logan was playing an
engagement at Albany, and one evening during
the play of the " Hunchback." just as she said,
"Clifford, why don't you speak tome?" one of
the spectators replied iu an audible voice, " Do
Clifford; I would if she'd talk to me in that way."
Life.—People talk about the dull routine of or
dinary existence ; the quiet, common pace monotony with which the mass of mankindpassthrough
life. There is no such thing as quiet, common
place monotony. Every life is full of incidents,
and every heart is full of feeling-bnt they are
not all published. The heart knoweth its own bitterness, and a stranger imtermeddleth not with its
J°J3-
Mind and Body—By too much sitting the body
becomes unhealthy, and soon the mind.- Tbis is
Nature's law. She will never see her children
wronged. If the mind which rules the body, ever
forgets itself, so far as to trample upon its slave,
the slave is never generous enough to forgive the
injury, but will raise and smite its oppressor, Thus
has many a monarch mind beeu dethroned,
"Well, Mrs. Lanagan, did you put the blister
on your ch"st, ae you promised ? And did it rise ?
" Why, then, mistress dear, the never a chest I
had to put it upon, but sure I have a little bit of
box, and I put it on that, but sorra a rise it rose,
and if you don't believe me. come and see, for it's
sticking there still, I'm thinking."
"Bob, by sitting on that side of the cars, you
are missing all the sights on this side."
"Never mind, Tom, I am sighting all the misses
on this side."
_ "Mire, can I have the exquisite pleasure of rolling ihe wheel of conversation around the axeltree
