The American Girl.
Our hearts are with onr native land.
Our song is for her glory :
Her warrior's wreath is in our hand,
Onr lips breathe out her glory.
Her lofty bills aud valleys green,
Are shining bright before us I
And like a raiubow sign is seen
Her proud flag waving o'er us.
And there are smiles upon her lips
For those who meet our foereieu ;
For glory's star knows no eclipse,
When smiled upou oy women.
For those who brave tbe mighty deep
And scorn the threat of danger,
We've mriles to cheer, and tears to weep
For every ocean ranger.
Our hearts are with our native land,
Our song* are for her freedom ;
Our prayers are tor the gallant band
Who strike where honor leads them ;
Who love the taintless air we breathe,
(Tis freedom's endless dower )
We'll twine for him an endle-s wreath
Who i-corns a tyrant's power.
They teh me ot France's beauties fair,
Of Italy's proud daughters ;
Of Scotland's lassie*—England"* fair,
And "yinphs of Sharon'^ waters
We need not boast their haughty charms,!
Though lord* around them hover,
Onr glory lies in trt-edom's arms—
A rRKilMAN lor a lover.
Young Genius.
Mf. D'Israeli has, in his Coningsby, this striking passage :
" Genius, when young, is divine. Why. the
greatest captains ot ancient snd modern times
both conquered Italy at twenty-five? Youth, ex
treme youth, overthrew the Persian empire. Don
John, of Austria, won Lepauto at twenty-five—
the greatest battle of modern time. Had it not
been for the jealousy of Ptiilip. the next year he
would have been Emperor of Mauritani.
GaBtoa de Foix was only twenty-two when he
stood a victor on the plains of Ravenni. Eveiy
one remembers Conde and Rocroy at the same
ege, Gustavus -<4dotphus died at thirty-eight.
Look at his captains—that wonderful Dufce ol
Weimer, only thirty-six when be died. Baner
himself, after all his miracles, died at forty-five.
Cortes: waB a little more than thirty when he gaz
ed upon the golden cupolas of Mexico, When
Maurice of Saxony died at thirty two, all Europe
acknowledged the loss of the greatest captain and
the profoundest statesman of the age.
Then there is Nelson Clive; hut these are warriors, and perhaps you may think there are greater things than war. I do not. I worship the
Lord of Hosts. But take the most* iUustrtnn:
achievements of civil prudence. Innocent TIL
the greatest of the popes, was the despot of ( hrist-
endom at thirty-seven.
John de Medtct was a cardinal at fifteen, and
Gutcciardini tells us, baffled with his craft Ferdinand de Aragon himself. He was pope, as Leo X
at thirty seven. Take Ignatius Loyola and John
Wesley; they worked with young brains. Isna
tins waa only thirty when he mide his pilgrimage,
and wrote the Spiritual Exercise. Pascal (the
greatest of Frenchmen) wrote a work at sixteen,
md died at thirty-seven. Ah, that fata' thtrty-
■•ven, which reminds me of Byron—greater even
as a man than a writer.
Was it eiperience that guided the pencil of
Eapbael when he painted the palaces of Rome1;
He died at thirty-seven. Richelieu was Secretary
of Stale at thirty-one. Well, there are Bul
broke end Pitt, both ministers before other men
leave off cricket. Grotius was tn pr dice at
TenteBD, and attorney-general at twenty-four,
And A quaviva—Acquaviva was General of
the Jesuits, ru'ed every cabinet in Europe, and
colonized America be ft re be was thirty-seven
What a career! The secret sway of Europe! That
indeed, was a position. But it is needless to multiply instances. The lmtory of heroes is the history of youth."

In the good old times hi Kentucky when 'mi!

at'ier a very fhje and ea-'y maiiin'r, a suit fdofi
brrmg-lit tu recover cerlain inomys of which it
was alleged plaintiff ad been defrauded by the
ingenious operations Ip own as -tliimblr'-rigging.'
In (lie cour.-e of tbe trial, plaintiffs counsel, who
happened to be an 'expert,' underiook to en-
lighien the Court as to the modus operandi of
Ibe performance. Puttino himself inlo position.
he produced 'he Ihree cups and the Ml uie joker.'
and piocoeded, suiting the action to the word ;
'Then, may it please the Court, the defendant
placing the cups on his knee thus, began shifting
them so, offering to bet lhat my client could not
tell under winch cup waa th, little joker— meaning thereby, may it please lhe I ourt. this ball —
with the iulention of defrauding my client of the
sum thus wagered Por inst.uee, when J. raise
the cup so, your Honor "supposes that you see the
ball.'
•Suppose I see!' interrupted the Judge, who
had closely watched lhe performance-, and was
sure that he had detected lhe hall as one of the
cups was accidentally r lised ; 'Why, any derned
fool can see where it is, and bet on it, and be sure
to Win,    There ain't no defraudin' thar.'
'Perhaps yuur Honor would like to go a V on
it ■" insinuated the counsel.
Go a V? Yes. and double ittoo,aud here'sthe
rhino.    It's under the m ddle cup.'
'I'll go a V on that.' said the foreman of the
jury.' 'And I, and I,' joined in the jurors one after the other, until each one had invested hi.- pile.
'Up!' siiid his Honor.
■Up' it was. hut the 'Hitie joker' had mysteriously disappeared. Judge and jury wereenlighi-
ened, and found no difficu ty iu bringing in a ver
diet in favor of the p aintitf, on the ground thai
it was the 'dcnidest kind o' defraudiu'.' His
Honor adjourned the Court, and 'stood for drinks
all round,' in consideration ol being 'let off' from
his wager.

Summary of Atlantic News.
Attack ox the Quarantink of New York.—An
attack was recently made upon (he Metropolitan
police force and the hospital buildings al Seguin \;
Point. Ahout one hundred ovstennen and others
hostile to the selection of that locality for a temporary quarantine, participated in the assault.
The assailants fired over a hundred shots upon tbe
policemen, and »ere driven away by Capiain
Walling bringing out his cannon and howil/.eis.
It is supposed lhat several of the as-ailauls were
killed and wounded. None ofthe police were injured, alll ou h a number narrowly escaped kfeiog
fatally shot. The greatest excitement relative to
the atta-.k prevails upon Staten Island The
Sheriff of tin- county and the Quarantine Commissioners have been not,find of the occurrence, and
are making active pr-'paratinns to resist any futon-; attack, as also to ferret out tbe jtei'petratora
ot the present assault. It is believed that the
present affair is but the beginning i f ad"tei mined
aud fearful battle, and one that will result in th
shedding of much blood before it ends.
More ofthe Famish ra Michigan.— The Michigan famine is sadly pictured by a writer from Di
troit, who says that in Gratiot county he saw a
woman who had sustained her Ack husband and
two children on maple sunar and leeks several
days b hire she could get other relief; she then
had to carry the provisions several miUsonher
back, This woman had taken care of her sick
husband since last August, aud her family of two
children, besides whicb she made 100 pounds of
maple sugar, cleared the ground and hoed in two
acres of sprii.a wheat, and planted some corn and
potatoes. She was habited in tattered garments-
Anolher .family of a father and three daughters,
aged fifteen, twelve, and ten, said they lived ou
milk, maple sugar and leeks, fora week after they
could borrow nol li ing ir ore. belore supplies
reached them. Two other families, consisting ol
four grown persons and seven children, and who
considered themselves well off, had no breadstufis
except two bushels of spring wheat, and a like
quantity of oats, wh ch they had got for seed.
This they mixed together and ground in a coflee
mill. Milk anrl a lew fish they had caught, cou
stiiuled Iheir supplies.
, A,great pf|*e fight between Dominick Bradley
and Sam *S Rankin, of Philad"lphia, for 5.1.000 a
sid , was fought at Point __llbian, Canada. The
battle lasted upwards ot two hours and a half,
wdien Bradley was declared the winner, his ati-
tagon;st being unable to continue the contest.
Rankin was severely beaten, and it is reported
that he is not likely to survive his injuries.
A young mau nam,d -ilfred F. Moses, a barkeeper at the San View House, Nevershik, had
his throat cut while iu bed.
Mrs. Cunningham, finnous for her supposed connection with the rmirder ot Dr Burdell, in Bond
sireet. New Vork. has been ''playing it fine" to
obtain, as the wife of the murdered man, the whole
of his estate. She was arrested aud placed in
prison, on a charge of felony in getting up a false
and simulated scheme of pregnancy,childbirth and
tbe production of an heir to the Burdell estate ;
which heir or rather heiress turns oui to be a child
ol poverty, born iu theBellevue Hospital.
A man was killed in Summit street. South
Brooklyn, by falling fiom the fourth sioiy of a
dwelling house upon the pavement beneath. There
are, however, circumstances connected with the
affair which indicate the belief that the deceased
was violently thurst out of the window hy the inmates ofthe house.
Capt. Joshua H. Patten, whose heroic wife navigated ids ship, the Neptune's Car, safely into tht
port ol San Franciseo. died at the McCleau Asy-
lum.'in Sommerviile, Mass.
Commodore Newton, of the navy, died very sud
denly, of ap'ph-xy, at Washington. Two hours
before his death he was apparently in good health.
He entered thi. navy in 1809, and was about 60
years ol age at the time of his death.
Within a lew days, says the New York Herald
ofthe 5th ult.. we bave been called upon to au
nounce tbe deaths of Captain H. ury, Lieutenant
Decatur, and Lieutenant Hare, and now lhe name
of Ntwton is to be added to that bandof departed
spirits t! e recollection of whose heroic deeds will
be :ong and warmly cherished hy their grateful
countrymen.
Mr. Augustus Van Liew, a bookkeeper doing
business with a respectat.lt>. firm in Wall street,
and a resident of No.. 1 2 Hubert street, New York,
was found lying dead upou the sidewaik in tbe
above locality. The deceased person bore evident
marks of violence, while the condition of his clo'h-
ing showed clearly that he had been robbed of Lis
gold watch and some forty doi ars. It seems
slrange that the deceased could hare been mur-
dereo in such a public place with oui the neighbors
being alai med.
