Tlie River of Time.
A Wonderful stream if the Riv.-r Time,
As it ruus the realm 01 tears,
With a taultleBs rythm nnd a musical rhyme.
And a broader stream and a surge sublime,
And bieudB wth rhe uceau oi years.
il6w the winters are drifting like flakes of snow,
w     And the summers lik<- buds between.
And the year in the sheal : so they come and they
Ou the river's breast witb its ebb   nd flow,     [go,
Ab it glides in the shadow and sheen.
There is * musical isle up this River Time,
Where the softest of airs aie playing,
There it? a cl .udlens sky and a tropical clime,
Aud a song as sweet **s ft vesper chime.
And June with the roses is straying.
And the name of this isle is tbe Long Ago,
And we bury our treamires ih' re ;
There are nowers oF beaut; and bosoms of snow-
There aie heaps ot" dust, and we loved them so—
There aie trinkets and tn-BSea of hair.
There is a fragment of sonp that nobody sings,
And part of an infant's pnyer;
There is a harp (inswept and a lute without strings,
Thi re are broken vows and pieces ol ringB,
And the garments she used to wear.
There are hands that are waved when the fairy
By mirage is lifted in air, [hore
And we Kimetimes hear through the turbulent roar
Sweel v( ices we heard in the days gone before,
When the wind di,wo the river is fair.
Oh, remembered for aye be that blessed isle,
Al   the day oi lite till ai-tbt j
When the evening comeB witb its beautiful smile.
And our eyes to slumber are closing th" wbik,
May that " greenwood -" ot stul be lu Big' t.

Tlie Grave of Steuben.
About five miles from the village uf Steuben,
New York, and in the town of that name, is the
urpve of Baron Steuben. In a five acre wood
land, ou a hill tenced in, so that ihe cattle cannot
enter, quietly r st the r-maiiiB 0: the Prusshm pa*
1 not and hero. The grave is iu tlie middle of the
wood, a.d was once covered by a monument, a
plain f-htb, wiih he iollowiiiK inscription: "Major
Oi neral Frederick William Augustas Baron Steuben." We visited the grave recently, and lound
tbe monument tumbled down, and things going to
rrriu and decay. It was an unpleasant Bight to
stand by the gr.ive ot that trreat roan, and ti ink
h'ow negligent our country had been of her heroes.
Th.-re in the wild woods, far trom tne city's
diowd,- and by tbe " fair forest stream,'" rtpo-e
ti.e rema.ns ot a ga lant patriot, with nothing to
mark his resting p ace but a ruined mass ot mortar mid stone.- B-u-oh Steuben was aid-de-camp
to ihe Ring ot Prussia— he was'receiving a salarj
o J5 OtlO'a year at ihe time of the Revoiutio ary
-truggle—h iff sympathies were enlisted io be-'a*!
of tbe infant colonies,- and he left his home and
bis situation to Serve in the American can»-e, and
lake the lead of our arnSi-'S. H-* waa nn able general and an experienced tactician, a d rendered
invaluable service to out1 Country.- Soon after (he
close of ihe war, Steuben retired to private lite,
and for seven years endeavored Co prevail on Con
gress to remanents him for his services. At
length he received a salary' Of $2 500 a year, only
halt that which he relinqu s;ied thirteen years be
fore, 0 risk all in her service.- He located himself on the farm and.in the township where h-
died, given hiu by the State of New Yurft.- H-
cleared off sixty acres of land, erected a log house,
and sat down for the remainder of his life.- With
his trusty servants and a few friends, who still
clung to him wiih more than filial affection, he
watched the current of his years glide peacefully,
without a sigh for the splendors of royalty he bad
li-tt behind in the world. A tree near the spot
where his dwelling stood, was a favor te of his,
and under that tree in summer he used to pasB
many of hib hours. He expressed a wish 10 be
buried under the tree where he had so often rested
while living. On the2ath day of November. 1797.
he was struck with a paralysis, and lived but three
daysal'terwMrds. He directed, just before his death,
that he should buried in hia military cloak, with
tbe stai of honor, which he always wore, placed
on his breast. His weeping servants and a few
rustic neighbors formed the procession to his solitary place of burial, and there, in the still woods

Sketch of the Life of MiJoR Bex. McCullocii.
—Majoi Ben. McCulloch was born in Ruiherlord
county, Tennessee, in 1814: His lather, Alexander McCulloch, waB aid-de camp to Geu. Coflee,
and fought under General Jackson at the battle
of Taladega, Tallahassee, and Horseshoe, in tbe
Creek war. His father emigrated to Georgia
Ben was very yojng. and B-t-u was kept at
school in Tennessee uutil he was fouttean years
old. After this, Ben was kept hunting until be
waB twenty one. At that time the bears were so
bad in Tennessee that the settlers could not raise
their hogs. Huuting bears in tbe cane required
much caution, and it a man's gun snapped he lost'
his breakfast. Young McCulloch frequently
killed as many as eighteen bears io a season, aud
never lens than twenty in a winter. This life
gave him a taste for wild adventure, and when be
became ot age, he determined to go on aa expedi-
lion lo the Rocky Mi-Untaios, and left his home
for St. Louis, to join a company of trappers. He
arrived too late, however, and likewise failed in
joining a company of Santa Fe traders.
He returned home, and soon alter called on
Col. Dovid Crockett, who was making up an expedition to go to Texas, to take part in the revolution. The whole southwest at that time, waa
alive with feelings of sympathy for the Texans*
and men were daily Rocking to their standard.
Nackoddocbes was appointed the place of reiidez
vous, trom which the expedition was to start, and
Christinas, cf the year 1835 was named for tin-day
ol meeting, when, a» Old Davy expressed it, they
were to make their Christmas dinner off tbe hump
of a buffalo, McCulloch ayain arrived too late,
t nd fiuding the party gone, he proceeded on by
himsell to the Brazos, where he was taken sick,
and he did not recover until after the fall of the
Alamo. McCulloch's disappointment was very
gn at at not being ab 2 to join the gallant band ot
patriot*-, but it afterwards proved very fortunate
for him, for Col. TraviB afterwards having sustained a siege of thirteen days, with only 180
Texans against Santa Anna's army, fell with his
brave little band, after having kdled ninety of
tbe enemy.
Major McCulloch, on joining tbe Texan array
under Gen Sam Houston, was assigned to the artillery and made c-puin ot a gun. He Berved
gallantly at the battle of San Jacinto, where Sau
ta Anna was taken prisoner, and his army of 1,500
mi-n cut to pieces.- McCulloch afterwaids settled
in G 1 zab z county, Texas, and was employed on
the frontier surveying- and locating lands. He
frequently led the wild border scouts aga nst the
Iudans aud Mexicans, which service he ei.teied
belore the celebrated Jack Hays He also distinguished himaelf in the bat Ue ol Plumb Creek in a
6,;ht with tbe Indians, who at the time sacked and
burned the town of Liun*ille. H joined the expedition against Mier, but ;.ot agreeing with the
plaus of the leaders, he returned.home before the
fight, and escaped the cruel hardships and impriB*
oilmen' of thai command, which had to surrender
to tlie perfidious Ampudia.
When the war broke out with Mexico, he rallied
a bund of Texan warriors on the banks of tbe
Guadalupe, and set out for the seat of war on the
K10 Grande, the company arrived h ur days afler the battlea of Palo Alto and Resaca de la Pal-
ma. His company was accepted by G.-n. Taylor,
and he was afterwards employed iu the during
scouting expeditions* towards Monterey, in which
battle, as well as that of Buena Vista, he won imperishable renown. Be afterwards joined Gen.
Scott's army, and cutinued with it until the conquest ot Mexico. For his gailant Bervices, Gen.
Pierce created him Marshal of Texas, which office
he now holds.
Major McCulloch is a thin, spare man, of great
muscle »nd activity, and is now about forty-ihree
years of age. He ha* a pleasant face' and is mild
and courteous in his manners, witb an air of diffidence. He is very cool, aud of determined hrav

Quebec at 4 o'clock intbe afternoon for Montreal,-
having on board between1 four and five hundred
passengers, nearly all: of then!1 emigrants, and1
many of them recently arrived trotO' Scotland.
About 5 o'clock, when abreast oTCape Rouge, tbe
w.'indwoik of the furnaces was discovered to be on
fire, and at the same moment' the flath'eB burst
forth, causing the utmost Consternation: The
flames spread with great r a pi dltyV and 'numbers of1
the passengers precipitated thertiselVes Into the
river, and many in such cases were drowned. The'
steamers Napoleon and Alliance went tD the rea--
cue, and the former took off one hundred aud:
twenty seven. Several ot these subsequently died-
of their wounds.

A queer fact has been recently developed in
Paris. The parish register in that city, recording
the marriage of Napoleon with Josephine, states
as Napoleon's actual bietb. not as August 15th,-
1769". as reported by himself, and giveu in all his
biograpbies,-but as February 5th, 1768. The register of tbe marriage, (signed by Napo'eon and
Josephine, is attested also fey Joseph Bonaparte,
and. se?eral other members of the family. It
would seem that when Napoleon found himself on
'be road to power,-he did not wish to have it al-
ledjied agaii.st him that ha was not a frenchman
by birth. He dropped a letter iu his Italian name-'
(becoming Bonaparte, instead of Jkionaparte.) and
declared himself born in ^ngirst, 1760', instead of
February. 1768; because between those dates Cor ■
sica had been nnneied to France; Tire latter date
would EQake him a Frenchman.
