(Mi fat f 0tttttL FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 4, 1859. From the Athens Messenger, THE DREAMER. BT MABEL ST. ULAIE. He Is sitting now In his oaken chair, And the ahadows come and go, As the changing light from the fender tpere Flits softly to and fro; Bis hands are clasped as If In prayer, And his beard is white as snow. And now from the shadows come softly out A youth and maiden fair, And the eyes of the maiden are quite as dark A. the braids of her shining hair. Ah I little he looks, that youthful man, Like the whlte-hair'd dreamer there. And now creeps closo to tho old man's knee The form of a little child, Her locks are bright as burnished gold, And her laugh is free and wild J And the old man looks on that sweet young fuco, And kisses that brow, and smiled. And now he hears a far-off bell, And he sees a shroud and pall ; And closo to the new-made grave he sees Another one, narrow and small. And they have taken away from hlsdarken'd horns His Mary, his child, his all. The fitful embers arc dying now, And the shadows of night are o'er, But the dreamer there, in his oaken chair, Will never awaken more, Till he wakens to find the loved and lost On anothor, and brighter shore Sr-BINQ niLL, Ohio. We have translated the following morceaux from a Spanish exchange: Thoughts. That which we yesterdny deemed beautiful, seems ugly to us to-day: and this is because the world is a ball of colored crystal, which turns before our eyes and shews the objects it contains, sometimes blue, sometimes yellow, and sometimes roseate. In the life of every woman there is one man who is not false to her: that man is her father: in the life of every man there is one woman, who is not false to him ; that woman is his mother. , No profession dishonors, if virtuously exer cised: a good hangman is worth more than a magistrate who sells justice. Man is a spoiled child: he lightly abandons what he possesses ; but he is angered when it is taken by force. Woman is a flower whose leaves wither in the first breath of the hot west wind; one dream, one thought scorches the perfect freshness of her soul. Man has a principle of nobleness in his soul: he loves woman because he finds her weak; and woman in her turn loves flowers because they are more delicate than she. Many sentiments go to make up the sum of man s love: two parts of pride, three of self-love, ten of desire, and only one of sympathy; therefore, when a man finds himself despised by the woman ho loves, it is much easier for him to hate than to weep. Infallible Recipe. When you cannot fill the heart of a woman with love to you, fill it to the top with love for herself, in the certainty that whatever runs over will be for you. Retort Conrteons. A certain monarch jested one of his courtiers, who had badly managed several embassies, telling him that sometimes he had seemed like an ass. "I do not know, your majesty, how I may have seemed; but I confess that I have more than onoe had the honor to represent your majesty." An Old Truth from Young Lips. We heard a few days since from a child, a simple and natural phrase, the sad, profound truth of which deeply impressed us. A lady had given a doll to one of her children, and said: "Look how pretty it is, and how good. It never cries." "0, yes!" quickly replied the child, "Itdoesn't cry because it isn't alive. If it mat alive it would cryr A Promising Actor. A young fellow desired to follow the profession of an actor, and after many efforts, connected himself with a company. A part was given him, in which he had but to say, "Lady, he it returned," referring to the lady's husband, who has been absent, and for whose return she has anxiously looked. At last, after much study and practice, the cruel moment arrived; the youne man appeared but was so much perturbed that he forgot, and when tho lady asked for her husband, he re plied, "Lady, he it dead." Of course such an announcement must change the whole course of the dialogue, and the actress attempted to oall his attention by saying, "What dost thou tell me? It is false." But the tyro, far fromboing put at ease, became more and more frightened, and repeated: "Yes, lady, he is dead," perhaps that he might not contradict himself; and then preoipitately add' ed, "But the doctor thinks he can bring him to life again." The Lost Child A Street Scene. A child's grief, (not its crossness,) is as pain ful as its joy is beautiful. When, therefore, t littlo urchin, came down the street, tlie other day crying bitterly, and that without seeming to have cut his finger or to have fallen down, he was surrounded by numbers of sympathiaing people, anxious to know what might be the matter. It was at noon, and the workmen were going to their dinners. Two or three sturdy mechanics whose hearts were as soft as their hands were hard, stopped and bent down toasktheboy why he orled. Several shopman stepped out of thci stores and joined the group. A dozen dirty faced stroct-ohildren crowded round. Two or three ladies paused a moment on the pavement. and looked with gentle pitying eyes upon the boy. It was a charming picture, and had we been an artist, and not principled against taking our hands out of our pockets for any purposo whatever, we would have transferred it to our sketch book. As it was, we honored the precept of Captain Cuttle, and stood by, making private. ly many oompliments to the people in the group. who showed themselves so tender to childish sorrow, and admiring the touch of nature which had made them all kin. Had we been a dy peptic, wo must for the instant have loved our fellow beings. "He can't understand," at last one of the men Bftid. "Is there a German here?" Ono stepped forward and spoke to the boy. whose blue eyes flashed intellegence through the streaming tears. "Do not weep," said the man in Oerman. "Where is thy mama ?'' But the boy was too much frightened and bewildered to tell, and could only falter in his pretty child-German "' weut n(t." "What is thy name ?" 'W weiss nit." "Whore dost thou lire?" 'T weismlt." "Art thou lost?" "Ia." "He says he is lost," observed the man, translating.Though every one bad devined as much, there was a fresh murmur of sympathy in the erowd; and one of the ladies said, "Ah I poor child!') winning much silent applause by that little outburst.Tlie boy continued to weep, and to soan all the strange, kind faces with wild, tearful eyes. "Come home with me, bub," said ono of the mechanics, falling into the benevolent absurdity of believing that tlie child must understand his offer. "Come home and get some dinner, and then I'll hunt up your mother." "No," cried another, "better take him to the station-house, and they'll find him there." Audiblo sensation of disapprobation in the crowd. The child clung to the hand of his German friend, and he proposed to, go and seek his mother."Dutnuitaber nicht vieinen," he said, as he walked off with his charge, who trotted along by his side, looking up into his face, and trying to choke down tho sobs after the heroic manner of small boys in trouble. Tho crowd stood for a moment watching them. "He'll find her," said ono, and the people were so much encouraged by this vigorous expression of confidence, that they began slowly to disperse, and even to talk lightly of the matter.Did he find his mother? How can we tell? The curtain had fallen, that is, the hero of this little play had gone round the next corner. One of the gentle women had followed him with her mother-eyes as long as he remained in sight, and when ho had disappeared, doubtless sent her heart after him. NEWS AND HUMORS OF THE MAIL. Dr. Francis Liebcr, of Columbia College, New York; is the author of the "Plea for the Fijians" in the last Atlantic, , In noticing the London Timet 'i description of the late opening of Parliament, Park Benjamin, says in the Constellation : ' A very remarkable fact it is that one pen during the last five-and-twenty years has invariably supplied these descriptions to the Times. Dr. Richardson, one of the ablest and certainly thojlaziest of all the Timet't contributors, is the man who has thus made this semi-annual offering for it occurs at the closing, as well as the commencing of the Legislative Session. Wo regret to hear of a misunderstanding be tween Captain Bedingfield and Dr. Livingstone. The Captain returns to England and gives up tho exploring expedition. A new volume of Dickens' stories is an nounced. It is said he has made already 10,- 000 by his "Readings." Tlie Paris letter of the New York Ezpreu has some amusing strictures on tho eagerness or American citizens to be presented to the French Emperor Yet, let me ask how many of the independent. unterrificd American citizens, who are so ambitious to penetrate into the imperial circle, would consent to appear in any assemblage or any so ciety at home, decked in the fantastio apparel which they are obliged to don, in order to bow before the sovereign of France? How many would consent to be ranged in a file, like prize cattle, for tho pleasure of hearing a common place word or two from the X'resident? Unless they had some interesting axe to grind, I answer not one. The actuating motive here is not simple curiosity to see the Emperor and Em press, for they otten appear in public, at the theaters and elsewhere. No the great majority think it a fine thing to go home and able to tell their friends that they have talked yes, actually held a convertation with Napoleon. Though. this conversation usually consists of the question "have you been long in France? ' or "when did you arrive in i'arisr or otner extra ordinary and momentous interrogatory, and tlie equally refreshing reply "only a week, your Majesty," or, "on the 6th of this month, Sire" followed by a courteous bow from the Emperor, and an astonished stare from the citizen, at the brevity of the dialogue still, it will pass for a conversation, and, witn the indispensable em bellishmcnts usually added such as the Env peror's vivid recollection of the United States, his kindly feelings towards the American people, his knowing air, upon remarking that circumstances have changed, since he visited New York," or some other delicious fabrication will do nicely to repeat. I do not mean to make this charge of toady ism to Court upon all my countrymen travelling abroad, but it certainly applies to lomeot them. Why, otherwise, will gentlemen, who have no profitable, or instructive, or even amusing ob ject in view, (the whole affair being a real tort ure to many,) oonsenl to rig themselves in ill-fitting uniforms, a gold band down the side of their trowsers a sword dangling botween their legs, a two-cornered hat under their arm, and their hands distressingly in the way, (pocketing them being improper as well as impossible, owing to the absence of pockets,) why. I roJ peat, will Americans consent to appear thus be fore a censorious and sneering community, in characters to which most of them are totally unaccustomed? They must expect tobe laughed at. Worse than all, these isolated examples are quoted as indicative oi tno sentiments or our whole country; anu in franco we are looked upon as a people who prize Republican institu tions only in name, and are eager at all times to run after royalty. It is altogether probable that should not our misunderstanding with Paraguay be amicably settled, tho dreadful armament we have sent to conquor a peace will be wofully beaten. A cor respondent of the Baltimore American writes from one of the vessels of the expedition : The condition of the army of Paraguay may be imagined from this extract, culled from a lot ter dated at Ascunsion, by one of the vory few Americans at present in that city: What tho regular land force of this country is, I cannot correctly inform you, but, although my knowledgo as to its quantity is indefinite, I can say that its quality is Inferior to no organi zation 1 have scon, and my observation mvs not been confined to one Continent. On the 18th of last month. (November,! I was present at Regimental drill, in which nearly two thousand five hundred soldiers were exercised. Their maneuvers loading, firing, marching, halting, advancing, retreating, and in short, all thoir evolutions were performed in so creditable a manner as to impress me forcibly with tho folly of your (the U. 8.1 Government thinking to rido rough shod over this land with sailors and mar ines, who never, as a general thing, reach a state of perfect discipline. Senatorial Franking. Tlie following is the list read by Mr. Iverson, In the course of his recent speech in the United States Senate, showing how many of his speeches each Senator had folded and mailed from the Senator's folding room at the expense of the public They wore folded, mailed and franked, but not printed, at the publio oharge : "Mr. Allen sent 800; Mr. Bates none; Mi.

Evans is in that oity, just fresh from New York, with a view of escorting Dickens to the United States, and Mr. Arthur Smith will ac company mm. Uf this more hereafter. Mr. Albert bmith says that Mr. Dickens is warm on theatrical management, and positively hot on acting, and that it is just possible he may soon become the lessee ef a theater in the Strand. The shouts with which Soulouque was received on landing in Jamaica, were more derisive than wrathful. One of the crowd, in an excess of pleasantry, offered a negro sixpence if he would give his imperial majestry a fraternal hug, right there in the open street. Stimulated by the reward, the Afrecan attached a knot of ribbons to the breast of his coat, and leaped upon tlie step of the barouche. Soulouque, cheated by the silken rosette, which ho thought the badge of a public functionary, benevolently submitted himself to be hugged and kissed. The crowd was thrown into an excess of delight by the success ot this impudcnttriok. Soulouque quickly saw that he had been trifled with, and retreated into the farthest corner of his carriage, swearing furiously. Continual charivaris disturbed the imperial repose of Soulouque in the Date-Tree Tavern, at Kingston, in spite of the watchfulness of the authorities. One negro song in particular tho Emperor has ever been unable to endure Bou-caner Jean Louie. When he was in power, the wretch who dared intone this popular Haytien air, was sure of imprisonment. The refugees in Kingston, whom he had exiled, would nightly surround his rooms in the Date-Tree, and avenge themselves by chanting in the chorus this hated song. On hearing its detested notes, the ex-Emperor raged up and down his apartmants like a tiger. His landlord humanely applied to the authorities for a guard of honor to watch the environs of the hotel. The request was peremptorily refused. Those whose respect for clothes has been developed up to the point of curiosity, may be pleased to hear that the raiment of her Majesty, the ex-Empress of Hay ti, when she landed in Jamaica, consisted, first, of a Madras handkerchief about her head; second, "no gloves on her hands;" third, a profusion of rings and chains; fourth, a magnificent silk shawl: fifth, a satin dress. Madame Eline Maninile, tho mother of Soulouque, wore (we translate strictly from tho French account) "a simple handkerchief about her neck and no gloves." The Princess Olive, "an Italian straw hat;" the Princess Celia, "a Balaklava hat." Soulouque himself wore a bottle-green dress his favorite solor embroidered with gold upon all the seams. A correspondent who writes from Paris savs he has had an excellent view of the young rrincess. one peeped out or the window, with an appearance of curiosity and astonishment extremely natural in one who saw Paris for the first time. It is difficult to speak as to the figure oi tne youtniui nnue, as sue sat in a closed car nage, and her head alone was visible. Without possessing that type of classio Italian beau ty, her Imperial Highness may be set down as of a highly preposessing appearance. Her hair is fair, ber eyes deep blue, and her complexion admirable. It may bo added, for the comfort of that part of the publio whom false representations may have led to consider the Princess as "a victim of politics," that no one who saw her to-day could help coming to the conclusion that she was perfectly happy and contented. A Voick from Feazer River. The Belfast Age says that a young man named Foye, of Palermo, who has seen all tho beauties of the Frazer River, arrived home by way of California last week. He gives a hard description of the fare of the Frazer miners, while he was in that region. Many of them died of starvation. Himself and another young man succeeded in purchasing a lew pounds or horse Uesli from the carcass of a horse, poorer than any seen iq these parts, at $3 per pound, and thus were kept from starving. He says gold is plenty, but difficult to get, owing to the state of the rivers and the inability to procure subsistence. He describes the Indians in those parts as but littlo different from wild beasts. They go entirely naked, and live in caves and dens in the ground. STATE ITEMS. Rohberjr of the Coshocton Treasury. We learn by the Progrettive Age that a meet ing of citizens was held at Coshocton on the 20th ult., when speeches were made, and resolu tions adopted, in view of all the circumstances of tho late daring robbery of the county treasu ry, exonorating Mr. Kotchum, the Treasurer, from all blame, and expressing great sympathy with him; declaring that it would be unmorciful and improper to exact from him or his sureties, the amount of which he was robbed; and recom mending tho County Commissioners and State Legislature to take steps for their relief from legal responsibility. The meeting was large and respectable Editorial Change. Mr. M. R. Robinson, for nearly eight years editor of the Anti-Slavery Bugle, at Salem, Ohio, has taken leave of that paper, and is to be sue ceeded in the editorship by Mr, Benjamin J. Jones. Albeit, innexibie in his extreme post tions, and in his opposition to Republicans, yet, from a personal acquaintance of many years, it gives us pleasure to say, that Mr. Robinson is a gentleman of genial spirit and amiable disposition, and has conducted his journal and sustain ed his views with marked ability. Though dif fering as to modes of action, yet, as a cordial hater of "the sum of all villainies, we have ever been one with him in sentimont and purpose. Ravenna Democrat. Golden Wedding. The Elyria Demecrat gives a long and inte resting account of the golden wedding of Mr, and Mrs. Raymond Starr of that village, on tlie 22d ult., the fiftieth anniversary of their mar riago. A discourse from a olergyman of the village, with appropriate selections from the word, gave the proper solemnity to the oocasion. and musio and supper crowned the festivities of the evening. The Democrat says: Raymond Starr was born in Danburyonn., January 8th, 1786. Betsy Penfield was born ia N. Fairfield, in the same State, Mareh 12th 1692. Thoir parents emigrated to Harpertfield, Delaware Co., N. Y., about the year 1800, at which place Raymond and Betsy were married February 22d, 1809, by th Rev. Stephen Fenn. At the gathering for the eelebratioa of the fiftieth anniversary of that event, it was found that of the original witnesses of the wedding, thirteen were living; six of them being brothers and sisters of the husband; sis brothers of the wife, and one aunt, now aged 80 years. The officiating Clergyman is dead. Of these witnesses, eleven were present, one of whom was the aged aunt. The average age of eaoh was 62 years. Besides these, there were present five wives and husbands of the witnesses, seven ohildren of the aged couple, the wives of sis sons, twenty-five grand-children, two adopted grand-children, the husband of one grand-child, one great grand-child, two first cousins of Mrs. Starr, and the wife of one, also one nophew in all, sixty-four. It was ascertained that no deathbed occurred among the brothers and sisters during the whole period of fifty years. But cne child had died, and five grandohildren. A very happy feature in this family assembly, was the fact that the several families of the Starr's and Penfield's had followed each other from the East, to the then West, in a very limited period of time, and that hore, they and their children have, with one exception, been permitted to settle in the same county, and within a few miles of each other. Cock Fighting Is the amusement of the uncivilized people of Toledo, if we are to believe the Timet. Death of a Fleshy Man. On Sunday, the 20th ult., Mr. John Twitehell lied at his residence in Brimfield, where he had resided for over forty years. Two weeks before his death, he weighed 385 pounds. In height he was six feet and three inches. His vest measured in circumference six feet and ten inches. When he removed into Brimfield forty-two years ago, his size did not exceed that of the average of men of his attitude. Some sis years afterwards, after severe sufforing from, the ague, he commenced increasing in flesh, and so continned until he attained the extraordinary dimensions above specified. Portage Democrat. DestructlTe Fire at fltlford. On last Saturday morning, about 6 o'clock, the storehouse of Garwood & Co. was discovered to be on fire. The entire building, a brick of two stories, was burned to the ground; together with a grocery situated at the end of it. Strange to say, the frame dwelling and store house, of Dr. Mann, adjoining, (not the space of a foot intervening,) was not burned, but escaped with a little burning of the roof. The entire amount of property destroyed will not fall far short of $7,000. The buildiag is supposed to have been purposely set on fire. MaytvilU Union.
