Angry Wortls.
The following beautiful lines we find ia the N
V. Commercial Advertiser ; they appeared in the
Albany Evening Journal originally, some years
since : —
Angry words are rashly spoken,
lu a rash and thoughtless hour,
Brightest links of life are broken,
By their deep, insidioui power.
Hearts inspired by warmest feeling,
Ne'er before by anger stirred,
Oft are rent past human healing,
By a single angry word.
Poison drops of care and sorrow,
Bitter poison drops are ihey—
Weaving tor the coming morrow
Saddest memories oTto-day.
Angry words ! oh, let them never
From the tongue unbridled slip,
May tbe heart's best impulse evur.
Check thera ere they soil lhe lip.
Love is much too pure and holy,
Friendship is too sacred far.
For a moment's reckless folly
Thus to desolate and mar.
Angry words are lightly spoken ;
Bitterest thoughts are rashly stirr'd ;
Brightest links oflife are broken
By a single angry word.

Palmerston in "tub House."—A correspondent
ofthe Liverpool Albion gives tlie following sketch
of Lord Palmerston, as he appears in the British
House of Commona :—
The Premier ia by no means addicted to sotto
voice loquacity iu the House ; talks little to. and
il lees talked to by, those about bim. Palmer-
Bton'B taciturnity is the more lingular, not perhaps because of the social character ol the man,
for he in not naturally social, and for this reason
that there cen bo do society where there is no
equality; and where is his equal?—who knows
anything about him any more than if be belonged
to another planet, which mayhap he does?—but
on account of the extraordinary length of time he
ipends in the House, outsitting everybody, no
matter what the business. This has often been re
marked here recently ; but it becomes more remarkable every night, and every day. too, for the
House now sits day and night; and there he is,
night, noon, and morning, late and early, early
and late ; fresh as a lurk at cockcrow, and ready
for one, just as he was when, two years ago, Gladstone, young enough to be his son, nnd much
younger than some such, complained that he carried the divorce bill because flesh and blood uld
not withstand his power ol sitting.    Unlike alj

Many a time last session, when seemingly hopelessly consigned tothe cold shade of opposition.
and when his quondam flunkeys had so despaired
of his restoration that several of them used absolutely to talk not only of him, but to him, as if
he were one of themselves, the Benjamin Halls,
and other.! of that Btamp, he was assiduous iu his
attendance as ever ; and listened attentively to
llie weary trash and drivel o( every droner aud
drawler as if his sole chance depended ou his not
missing a word. Any one would imagine he would
at least seek to mitigate lhe martyrdom to this
monolony by speaking lo those at his elbow. But
not bo. His great resource is sleep, wliich he appears to command at will, aud to exercise a most
diplomatic control over it; for while one eye is at
rest the other is on duly ; and be has thus established a system ot optical reliefs as effectual as the
change of sentries before bis bouse in Downing
Btreet. Hence he is ever wide awake, however
'seemingly somnolent, as many a one has found
who tried to steal a inarch on liim,on the assumption that he had been dozing during tbe semi-
stagnant flow of Lethean twaddle hy some poppy_
headed proser who slipped into personality in the
course ofhis stupidity.
Thus, though ofteu dormousy. the Viscount never gives you tbe idea of being lethargic ; not only
rarely ever yawns himself, but has the trauscend-
ant capacity to resist the infectiousness ot that
most catching of all contagions when manifested
in others, as it constantly is especially by Sir C.
Wood on one side of the Premier, and Gladstone
on the other. Relaxed, unbraced, out-stretched,
lazy-looking, overworked, jaded, wan, and wasted,
the pair are apparently always going through
competitive exercises as to which shall give fhe
spectators the most vivid idea of an Artesian well,
as far as the human os front is can be expected to
portray such profundity. But. deep though it be,
yet deeper is P., aud never can be drawn in by
what he considers the shallowness of such examples. Always gloved, with faultlessly fitting

The suhjoined remnrkg, from the Amador Senti
nel, touching tho light in whiah many pereoas I
regard debts contracted with newspaper and print-1
ins offices, are pertinent and fall of truth. Printing offices generally have tft do a great deal of
credit business, much of whicli in tho end proves a
de&d lost. Oar experience convinces ns th;U the
man who would cheat a printer would cheat anybody. None but mean '"cusses," devoid of conscience, would be guilty of such tricks; we have
« lew jtich marked down in our "black book.-' aud
may give one or two of them "first rate notices*' at
some future day.    Bat here is tlie extract:
"It is a singular fact, that men pay less attention lo newspaper and printers' bills than to any
other. We se no reason why it should be so.—
Every bill contracted wilh a priming office should
l)e paid, as ought to be every oilier bill. There
is not a single item used in and about a printing
office, but tbe conductor or proprietor is compelled to pay cash for, and that, too, almost always
in advance. For Ihe p.Lpvf whicli is ns..ij we must
pay the money down to the Express before it is
delivered; the ink the same; (he material must be j Tlie
paid for before taken from the warehouse; thi
rent of offices must paid
The men working in pri
off regularly at tite end of each week, and 80 ft
wilh everything connected with a pri01 iug office.
Why, is it, then, that people will put oil paying a
newspaper or printing oflice bill until they are
forci'd to do so? Why is it that men settle up all
other business hut this prior lo leaving the State?
Is it because they forget they owe lhe printerl—
Why should they forget Ihey owe such bills aud
no others? Or it because they think it, oasts the
printer nothing to live and conduct hia business?
It is true the printer's bills are small and trilling
by themselves; but take several l,mv!n-i] sum']
bills, and in lhe course of a year iiiey amount to

Jf. P. RUSSELL'S   PATENT.
FRANCIS   MELLUS,
TT AVLVO purchased the patent right of tlie above
11, vsdutblu invention, for the purpose of supplying ihe counties ot Los Angeles, ftait Bernardino
■md San Diego, is now prepared to execute all oe-
.Ijra with which he may he favored.
The pub ic are award that it has been the study of
■.ueutilic men, architects and builders, for many years
t.t discover an article for Roofing purposes, that will
withstand sudden changes ot climate, be impervious
1 1 water, and of sure   protection agaiust fire.    Tbe
i iiTuntor «f this roofing labored many years to com-
<ino articles which would answer the above purpose
■Mid obviate the difficulties of rust and decay attendant upou tin aud shingles, and the destruction by
*','ho sun and frost of the various compositions used
:(or rooting. This he succeeded in doing, and now,
after six years of the severest trial we would invite
the careful attentien of all interested in such matters,
believin" that they will be fully convinced of its
practical value both for durability and economy, in
which respects we believe that its equal is not at
present known. This roofing can readily be applied
to roofs of every description, either steep or flat, and
can be put on over shingles or tin, being much cheaper than the first and at half the cost of the latter.
Two coats of the mastic put on over an old leaky
tin roof, will make it as good as new at one-third of
tho cost. In preparing this roofing a heavy drilling
or canvass is used, which is thoroughly saturated
with * perfectly water-proof preparation, alter which
it receives a thick coating, upon both sides, of the
flour of soapstone, which sets into the texture of the
canvass, and gives it a firm body, making it very
elastic and durable. After the canvass, as prepared,
is pit apon the roof, another coating ol mastic,whlch
is thoroughly filled with sand, is given it, making it
fireproof in every respect. By exposure, this coating becomes firm and solid, giving yi.n a roof that
can be walked upon with perfect impunity, and as
durable as anything known; and we do most candidly
and unhesitatingly believe, far superior to anything
of the kind yet discovered; and atter a severe test
of many years, stand as reliable and good as when
first put on, Without change or decay. All that we
ask is, that a careful examination maybe given it,
and wc feel convinced that it will bear all the recommendation which we offer of it. Annexed we give
you the names of some of the persons using "this
roofing, and to whom we are at libeity to refer:

The Battle Field.
BT WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT.
[The ninth of the following exquisite verses
which may fairly claim a place by the fide of
Gray's ''Elegy, written in a country Church
Yard," is better hnown, from the frequency from
which it is quoted, than the others. The whole is
certainly a "gem of the purest ray serene ;"]
Once this soft turf, this rivulet's sands,   •
Were trampled by a hurrying crowd,
And fiery hearts and armed hands
Encountered in the battle cloud.
Ah! never shall the land forget
How gushed the life-blood of her brave—
Gushed warm with hope and courage yet,
Upon the soil they fought to save.
Now all is calm, and fresh, and Btill ;
Alone the chirp of flirting bird,
And talk of children on the hill.
And bell of wanderiog kine is heard.
No solemn host goeB trailing hy
The black mouth gun and staggering wain;
Men start not at the battle cry—
Oh ! be it never heard again '.
Soon rested those who fought; but thou
Who minglest in the harder strife
Eor truths which men receive not now,
Thy warfare only ends with life.
A friendless warfare! lingering long
Through weary day and weary year |
A wild and many-weaponed throng
H.tng on thy front, and flank, and rear.
Yet nerve thy spirit to fhe proof,
And blench not at I liy chosen lot;
The timid good may stand aloof,
Tlie sage may frown—yet faint thou not.
Nor heed the shaft too surely cast,
Tlie foul and hissing bolt of scorn ;
For with thy side shall dwell, at least,
The victory of endurance born.
Truth, crushed to earth, shall rise again—
The eternal years of God are hers ;
But Error wounded, writhes in pain,
And dies amony his worshipers.
Yea, though thou lie upon the dnst.
When Ihey who helped thee flee in fear,
Die full of hope and manly trust.
Like those who fell in battle here!
Another hand thy sword shall wield.
Another hand the standard wave,
Till from the trumpet's mouth is pealed
The blast o' triumph o'er thy grave.

Strange Gold Mines found   near Panama.
We clip the following from the Panama news
correspondent of the Alta :—
'■In my lust I mentioned the arrival at this city
ofa "Chiriqui packet" (supposed by tbe Yankees
to be a "dug-oul;") with quite a number of gold
images on board, which had been taken from old
Indian graves.
"The first news has been confirmed by the arrival of a second "packet"' with more gold. The
images were shown about the streets, and were
the talk of the town. Great excitement was manifested by whites aud blacks, foreigners and natives. A schooner was at once advertised, was
furnished with stores, and took passengers at $25
a piece. She got about forty, (all she could take)
and sailed several days since. Mr. Hames, formerly of Sau Francisco, chartered the vessel, sold
the tickets, and taking a cargo of merchandise
along, to sell to the miners, left on the schooner.
The port is that of Lania, iu the province of Chiriqui. about 300 miles distant from Panama.
'•The diggings, or "hurrying grounds," (rather
insignificant name for seeking a fortune) are only
about three leagues or nine miles from the town
of Lania. They are on a mountain, the journey
from Lania occupying but a day on foot. There
are many absurd stories who these were, &c-, but
tbe best authorities say that they were the original owners of that Province, who were within a period of 200 years perfectly wild and savage in all I ",'
their customs, and entirely different from the mon- !li
grel race who now inhabit it.
'-The dead are buried wholly in tombs made of
masonry, and are found two and two, ori
and woman in each tomb, showing tliat probably
a heathenish custom prevailed of burying the wife
with the husband, whether she died from natural
causes or not. The man in all cases is buried on
the right band side, with his wife on his left and
his gold on his right hand.
These images aro made of pure gold, and
though of rude workmanship, are tolerable representations of what they were made for. There
dogs, lions, alligators, scorpions, skeletons,
men aud Gods, varying in weight from two to five
ounces. Tbey look much larger, but are hollow.
They were made for charms, and as such were
worn oa the person. The gold is of a superior
quality. A German passed through this place on
his way »o New York with some "jt20,000 worth of
these, and merchanls here have purchased and
remitted some of the same. There are reports
that these can be bought of the natives at a very
t figure, but this is quite improbable, as the
ue of gold is well known throughout these
States.
A number of Americans have gone, with the
determination to find the mines from which this
gold was originally taken, reasoning that where
all had golden images buried with them, a mine
must have existed at no great distance, which appears probable, when the simple habits of the people are considered"

Remains of Napolkon the GkkaT.—Workmen
are now busy in the vaults of St. Denis, preparing
a sepulchre for the remains of Napoleon 1, which
will certainly be removed from the Invalides, although the day for tho disinterment is not yet
fixed. Marshal Prince Jerome, who once declared
that the tomh in the Invalides, of whieh he is Go-
vcrno-. should never be disturbed while he lived, is
now less positive in his opposition. The last, resting place of the great Napoleon, among the bom s
of the Kings of Franee. will not, however, after nil.
be tbe precise spot which he had selected for himself, and which he i3 represented pointing to in tbe
well known glass painting iu one of the Cathedral
windows. Louis XVIII. is buried in that vault,
and the Emperor, whose great object in interring
bis uncle in the royal basilica is to teach the public to regard him as the legitimate founder of a
new line of monnrchs. cannot in consistency, desecrate tec tomb of a legitimate Bourbon.
FnionTFtL and Fatal Accident.—While Blon-
den was walking the rope on Wednesday, two
men whose names we were unable to learn, for the
purpose of seeing the performance to the best, fid-
vantage, got into a free on tbe Canada side of
the river; the branches npon which they were
seated gave way, and tbey were precipitaied into
tbe gorge and instantly killed.

Advices from Gibraltar state that the Emperor
of Morocco was dead; also, that a serious conflict
had occurred on the Island of Cent a. between the
Spaniards and Moors. The troops had beeu called out. Several thousand Moors had collected,
and, at the last accounts, the parties were iu con-
flct all night on the 2Glh ult.. and several were
killed on both sidus. The English mail Bleamer
Indus was fired on twice from the Spanish fort of
Tarifa, on llie morning of the 27th August while
isign was flying. At the second fire, ft large
round shot fell about'fifty yards from the steamer.
A terrible cyclone passed over Calcutta on the
2(ith of July, and forty-six vessels, including two
steamers, were lost in" the river Hoogley, and immense damage was occasioned ou shore. Many
lives were lost, but no further particulars were
received.
Accounts from Madrid slate lhat Spain had
withdrawn her Consul from Tangiers, aud decided to demand satisfaction of Morocco for the
outrages at Centa. Orders had been given for
the formation ofan expeditionary corps of 5,000
men.
Itissugested in the London papers that the
firing on lhe steamer Indus was ior the pupose of
bunging her to, iu order to learn the state of
affairs ut Centa.
Death of an Es-TBiiritisiNa Pl-blisiikh.—It is
but a few weeks since we reported the deatli of
Mr, Charles Sampson, a member of the well known
publishing house of Phillips, Sampson & Co. We
are now called upon to chronicle the decease of
Moses D. Philips, Esq., the senior partner of the
firm. The event took place at his residence in
Brooklyn, on Sunday night. Mr. Phillips has been
I health for some mouths—but has been able to

was a native of Charleston, Mass.. and was first
established In business at Worcester, from whence
he removed to Boston, and soon became favorably
known fi>r his intelligence, excellent judgment
and executive abilities. In comparatively a short
lime, fhe firm gained a high reputation at home
and abroad. Tbe decctiscd was much respected
by the whole community, and was highly esteemed by a large circle of friends, lie was forty six
years of age.
A meeting of the booksellers and publishers of
Boston was held this afternoon, at the store of
Messrs. Little, Brown k Co., to take some action
in regard to the decease of Mr. M. D. Phillips. Mr.
Osinyn Brewster was chosen chairman of tlie
meeting, and Mr. W. II. Dennet secretary.
A committee of three—consisting of Messrs.
William D. Swan. Wm.D. Ticknor and Augustus
Flagg—was appointed to prepare   resolutions.
Remarks were made by Mr. Swan, Mr. Ticknor,
Henry Hoyt. Esq., when the resolutions were
adopted.—Boston   Transcript

Quant OB Hail Coi.umhia.— Iu the year 1798,
when patriotic feeling pervaded the country, and
v. In ti there were several parties in the field. Mr.
Fox, a young lawyer, who was more admired for
his local than histrionic powers, culled one morning on his friend Mr. Hopkins, and utter slating
that the following evening had been appointed for
his benefit, and expres-iug great, fear f>r the result, as not a single box had been taken, begged
his friend todo something in his behalf.
*' If," sftkl Fox, "you will write me some patriotic verses to the tune of tbe Pivsolenl's March, I
feel sine of a full house. Several of the people
about the theater have attempted it, hut tbey have
come to the conclusion that it cannot be done;
yet I think you may succeed." Mr. Hopkins retired to Sis study, nod in a short time wrote the
first verse and chorus, which were submitted to
Mr. Hopkins, who sang them toa piano accompaniment, and proved the measure and music to
be compatible aud in keeping. Jn this way the
second itnd other verses were written, and when

A Boxing Match botwsbh Wm.uam IV axd an
Amkhican Sailor.—Nathan Lord served during
the Revolution on board an American priratcer
whish was captured by a lloyal Navy frigate and
its crew taken prisoners. The young Duke of
Clarence, afterwards William IV, was au officer ot"
the English ship. One night subsequent to lhe
capture, while some of the rebel sailors were standing upon the upper deck, the Royal middy addressed them in insulting words, culling tliem rel>
els, Yankees, Ac. Lord, one ofthe number, being
rather an inflammable spirit we presume, nnd not
relishing his remarks, replied that il he was at
liberty he would compel him to retract, and suggested some rather forcible arguments that ho
would use if necessary. The English officer was
disposed to test his fighting qualities, and accordingly a common seaman's chest was brought up
Irom below, the combatants were placed upou each
side and a regular set to waB the result. Tho
Englishman was tho first "to cry enough." aud
thus the alfiir ended. Soon after the arrival of
the ship in England, and while the American prisoners' remained ou hoard, previous to being removed to Dartmoor prison, a messenger arrived
Irom the Duke of Clarence bearing an official dis-
paleh commanding young Lord's release, granting
him full pardon uud giving him permission Lo return to America,
Tiik ZolaVk Prikst.—The Patrie relates lhe
following anecdote :—A worthy cure of  the envi-
ronn of Parte etitereil tba OL mj    in   hii, youth,    nml
was a zouave in Africa in 1812, where he distinguished himself by his bravery. On leaving the
service ho entered holy orders, and during Iho
Crimean war he obtained permission to join his*
old regiment as chaplain. The zouave cure, as he
WCtBcalled in tlie army, visited the camp of St.
Maur on Sunday, and was soon recognized by his
old companions 111 arms, who received him with
every demons'ration of joy. "Come and see our
color," said an old sergeant, "your blessing will
biingit smcess." The priest was accordingly
conducted to the color, of which only a few glori-
tatters remain. He knelt down and after a
short prayer rose and kissed the standard, his
a overflowing with tears as ho did so. The
zouaves stood round much affected by the sight.—
I see among yen many whom I remember in the
Crimea, but none of my old comrades in Africa."
"They died on the field of honor in Italy. Tho
last fell at Salferino," was the reply. "Let ua
pray for them, my lads," Baid the cure; and accordingly they all knelt round the color, aiul
breathed a prayer for the repose of their glorioua
companions.
A   Singular P»i\ ii.i:i;k.-
an prisoners at Paris
Among the Austri-
inoment is oue be-
longiugto a regiment which claims a singular
privilege, that ot camping lor Ihree days, when-
ver they pass through Vienna,in the Court of
the Emperor, and of receiving 'he most regal entertainment. The Colonel,upon Ids arnv.il, is
allowed by law to pass to the Btnperor'a chamber
without question-" no one being permitted to stop
him. He knocks thi ice, and demands orders of
his Majesty, when the Emperor invites hint and
his to remain three days, regaling at his < xpenae
in the pulace. assigns the colonel a 100111 next fo
hisown,and the standards of the regiment are piled
at his door, and a guard and lords in waiting attend him the same as the soveiugn. The origin of
lhe custom is this:—lu 108*1 Leopold was suddenly waited upon by sixteen barons, with a charter
which they were on the point of making him sign,
having, as they thought,secured tbe absence ol all
the troops Irom Vienna, when (suddenly a colonel,
who received infonnuiion from a secret source—
it waa never discovered whence— knocked at the
door thrice, and to the great joy ol ilie Emperor
demanded his Majesty's ordeis for liis regiment—
which were that Ihe sixteen baions should beat
once beheaded.— Court Journal.
