STRAY THOUGHTS. BY W. BEAMAN BKARZ. — The land of dreams—the isle us light. That glitters in the sea, Reflecting in the darkest night The gems of memory; And washed by each receding tide. The sparkle of the shore. Still bright and beautiful they glide Amid the scenes of yore. The land of dreams, where shadows dwell. And cast their varied forms Along the ocean’s heaving swell— The swell of by-gone storms; And from the dark and misty cloud. Still drop affliction’s tears. That mingle with the depths that shroud i The joys o'erwhelmed by fears. The land of dreams, wherelights and shades I All mingle into one. And cast a ray that only fades Beneath truth’s brighter sun; Where sleep but revels in its might, And captive leads the mind. Within an Eden of delight Its victor theirto find. TRUST IN PROVIDENCE. An Oriental Story. Bozaldad, Caliph of Egypt, had dwelt, aecurely for many years in the silken pa-. vilious of pleasure, and had every morning anointed his head with the oil of gladness, when liis only son Aboram, for whom he had crowded his treasures with gold, extended his dominions by conquests I and secured them with impregnable for-I tresses, was suddenly wounded, as he was ■ hunting, with an arrow from an unknown hand, and expired in the field. Bozaldab, in the distraction of grief and despair, refused to return to his palace, j and retired to the gloomiest grotto in the | neighboring mountain; he there rolled i himself in the dust, tore away the hairs ! of his hoar}' beard, and dashed the cup of i consolation that Patience offered him, to the ground. He suffered not his min- I stels to approach Ids presence; but listened to the scream of the melancholy birds of midnight, that flit thrugh the solitary vaults and echoing chambers of the Pyramids. ‘Can that God be benevolent,' .... - .

Le said, 'who thus wounds the soul, as from an ambush, with unexpected sorrows and crushes his creatures in a moment with irremediable calamnity? Ye lying Imans, prate to us no more of the justice and the kindness of an all-directing and all-loving Providence! He, whom ye pretend reigns in Heaven, is so far from protecting the miserable sons of men, that he perpetually delights to blast the sweetest llowerts in the garden of Hope; and like a malignant giant, to beat down the strongest towers of Happiness with the iron mace of his anger. If this Being possessed the gooodness and the power with which flattering priests have invested him, he would doubtless be inclined and enabled to banish those evils which render the world a dungeon of distress a vale of vainity and wo. I will continue in it no longer!’

At that moment he furiously raised his hand, which Despiar had armed with a dagger, to strike deep into his bosom; when suddenly thick flashes of lightning «bot through the cavern, and a being of more than human beauty and magnitude, arrayed in azure robes, crowned with | amaranth, and waving a branch of palm ill his right hand, arrested the arm of the i trembling and astonished Caliph, and said, with a majestic smile—‘Follow me to the top of this mountain.’ Look from hence,’ said the awful conductor; ‘I am Caloc. the angel of peace. Look from hence into the valley.’ Bozaldab opened his eyes and beheld a batren, a sultry, and solitary island, in the midst of which sat a pale, meagre, and ghastly figure; it was a merchant just perishing with famine, and lamenting that he could find neither wild berries nor a single spring in this forlorn, uninhabited desert; and begging the protection of Heaven against the tigars that would now certainly destroy him, since he had consumed the fuel he had collected to make nightly fires to affright them. He then cast a casket of jewels on the sand, as trifles of no use; and crept, feeble and trembling, to an eminence where he was accustomed to sit every evening to watch the setting sun, and to give a sight to any snip that might happily approach the island.

’lnhabitant of Heaven,* cried Bozaldab 'suffer not this wretch to perish bv the fury of wild beasts.’ ‘Peace,’ said the Angel, 'and observe.’ He looked again, and behold a vessel arrived at the desolate isle. What words can paint the rapture of the starving merchant, when the captain offered to transport him to his native country, if he wonM reward him with half thejewals!

i of his casket? No sooner had this pitiless ; commander received the stipulated sum, ■ chan he held a consultation with his crew ! and they agreed to sieze the remaining Jewels, and leave the nnheppy exile in , the same helpless and lamentable condilin which they dicovered him. He wept and trembled, intreated and implored in ■ vain. ‘Will Heaven permit such injustice to be practiced?’ exclaimed Bozaldab.— ‘Look again,’ said the angel, ‘and behold the very ship in whieh, short-sighted as thou art, thou wisbest the merchant might embark, dashed in pieces on a rock: ' dost thou not hear the cries of the sinking sailors? Presume not to direct the ' Governor of the Universe in his disposal of events. The man whom thou hast pitied shall betaken from this dreary solitude but not by the method thou wouldst prescribe. His vice was avarice, by which ;he became not only abominable, but wretched be fancied some mighty charm in wealth, which, like the wand of Abdiel would gratify every wish and obviate every fear. This wealth he has now been taught not only to despise but abhor: he 1 cast his jewels upon the sand, and confessed them to be useless; he offered part | of them the mariners, and perceived them to be denicious: he has now learnt, that they are rendered useful or vain, good or j evil, only by the situation and temper of I the possessor. Happy is lie whom distress has taught wisdom! But turn thine eyes io another and more interestingscene. The Caliph instantly beheld a magnifi- J cent palace, adorned with the statutes of i | his ancestors, wrought in jasper; the ivory ' | doors which turned on hinges of the gold i i of Golconda, discovered a throne of dia-; I rnonds, surrounded with the Rajas of fifty | : nations, and ambassadors in various hab-! its, and of different complexions; on which I »at Aboram, the much lamented son of i Bozaldab, and by his side a princess fairer than an houri. ‘Gracious Alla! it is my son,’ cried the Caliph. ‘Oh, let me hold him to my heart!’

i ‘Thou canst not grasp an unsubstantial I vision,’ replied the angel; ‘I am now I showing the what would have been the | destiny' of thy son, had he continued longer on the earth.’ ! ‘And why,’ returned Bozaldab, ‘was !he not permitted to continue? Why was I not sufferd to be a witness <f so much felicity and power?’ ‘Consider the sequel,’ replied he that dwells in the fifth heaven. Bozaldab looked earnestly, and saw the countenance of his son, on which be ; j had been used to behold the placid smile ’ lof simplicity and the vivid blushes of j ! health, now distorted with rage, and now 1 fixed in the insensibility of drunkenness; I 1 it was again animated with disdain, it be- ■ came pale with apprehension, and appear- ; ed to be withered by inleperance; his j hands were stained with blood, and he trembled by tuins with fury and terror. —

The place so lately shining with oriental pomp, changed suddenly into the cell of a dungeon, where his son lav stretched out on the cold pavement, gagged and , bound, with his eyes put out. Soon afj ter, he perceived the favorite sultana, who before was seated by bis side, enter with a bowl of poison, which she compelled Aboram to drink, and afterwads married the successor to his throne. ‘Happy,’ said Caloc, ‘is he whom Prov--1 idence has, by the angel of death, snatched from guilt! from whom the power is withheld, which if he Lad possessed, would have accumulated upon himself yet greater misery than it could bring upon others. ‘lt is enough,’ cried Bozaldab. ‘1 l adore the inscrutable schemes of Omniscience! From what dreadful evil has my son been rescued by death, which I rashly bewailed as unfortunate and premature; a death of innocence and peace, which - has blessed his memory upon earth, and j transmitted his spirit to the skies!’ ‘Castaway the dagger,’ replied the I Heavenly messenger, ‘which thou wast i preparing to plunge into thine own heart. Exchange complaint for silence, and doubt for adoration. Can a moral look down without giddiness and stupefaction into the vast abyss of Eternal Wisdom? Can a mind that sees not infinity of objects mutually relative? Ctn the channels, which thou commanded to be cut to re- ’ ceive the annual inundations of the Nile, ■ contain the waters of the Ocean? Remember, that perfect happiness cannot be conferred on a creature; fur perfect happiness is an attribute as utterly incommunicable as perfect power and eternity.’ j The angel, while he wps speaking thus i strecthed out his piniods to fly back to the Empyrean; no the flutter of his wings was ! like the rushing of a ca’ara-t

PROSPECTUS r «? JEM MID INDIANA STATE SBNTIML, 18W, The proprietors ofthis establishment deetn it almost unnecessary to urge upon the Demo.racy of the State, the importance of largely increasing the circulation of the Slntinll. A faithful and candid exposition of Di inocratie principlesand policy is all that is necessary to secure their continued ascendency in the minds of the people, and this can be best accomplished through the medium of the press. And to make snecess easy in the future, our [h < pie should be thoroughly informed and receive correct inpressions upon all the party issues and public questions of the day. As it has been in the past, this will be the continued object of the Sentinel and to the faithful aecomphsLmt nt of this duty, its proprietors willgive all their ability, energy and zeal. In return we shall ask of the Democracy of the State a liberal and hearty support. In doing us a service personally, they will have the satisfaction of knowing that lin y will sow broadcast, sound principle, and just sentimi nts. We hope that every democrat will feel it hi. duty to be asoliciting agent in his own neighborhood, for in no way can lie accomplish greater good than in the circulation of a paper tnie to its faith. The Sentinel should have a circulation in the State of Fifty Tbovsand, and it can be accomplished if the Democracy of the State will it. With a little effort on the part es our friends, this numbe.rof subscribers can be obtained in the next thirty days. As the central Organ of the party we shall know no men,interests or cliques! and it shall be ouraimto do equal and exact justice to all. Our duty is tobe the advocate and exponent of the principles and measures of the party, and whoever they shall select as its Representative Men, to give them an energetic and cordial support. The administration of Mr. Bvchbxan will soon be inaugurated. Every democrat should be interested to know the sentiments and policy of the man of his choice. Congress Is in session and the people should keep informed of the do ings of th- ir servat ts. Th" Legislature of this State will am mi le on the 7th January, and every citizen of the commonwealth should watch, with i.n anxir ua ■ eye, all that concerns our State interests. Ihe ; Sentinel will contain full reports upon nil these i topics, motives enough we think to induct <<vri ry man to take our paper. In additi, i> vv e shall keep our readers inl'cimed upon all the currt nt ' news of the day, domestic and foreign. We . will give full report- of the markets, and all iu- ' teresting commercial and monetary matters. — ‘We will give each week a full r< port of the N. ;Y, cattle market. In awmd wethall endeavor to give our paper an interest to the tradetman, the mechanic, the laborer, to all classes and professions. Advertisers are especially invit<d to the great ad vantages the Sentinel offers as i n advertising medium. Its extended circulation reaches all portions o 1 the State t nd all classes of the community, giving the advantage cf not* only a large local, but general circulation. ',Ve again ask our friends to aid in extendi: g the circulation of both our Dam and Wuxiy paper. Having no soliciting agents, we shall have to depend entirely upon their good will and efforts, which we trust they will generously manifest in good works, and which vv< premise to r< pay in every effort to give the Sentinel value and influence. We arc prepared to print all kinds of blanks for county officer’s use, or furnish any official I books of record they may need. M’e hope to re ceive orders for this kind of work. i The Book and Job office of the Sentinel is I equal to any in the west, and we nre prepared to do any work in that line on the most favors hie terms.
