Memories— To Maria. Bright memories are clustering Like sunbeams round my heart, With thoughts of thee commingling, J would not bid depart I see again the sunny Isle. Where hand in hand we strayed, T catch the glow of thy sweet smile, Too beutiful to fade I hear the Reaper S merry song. Far in the vale below, While gentle zephyrs breath along ‘i heir accepts soft and low I gaze upon the placed stream. Reflecting back the hue “Os every bright and cheering beam That leaves its field of blue. I wander on the surf-beat shore, And gather ocean shells: I hear its wild and deaf’ning roar. Os Deity it tells! I see again the moss grown mill, And watch its mystic wheel, I bear the swallow’s merry thrill, So much of joy reveal. All these I see, and feel and bear Bright images they are! But none so beautiful or dear! As thou—fair, peerless star! The Dying Sailor and the Bible An effecting story is related of young sailor who died on board a whaleship in the South Atlantic. James Duboice such was his name—had been carefully reared, but impelled by a strong love of adventure and an ardent desire to sea.— The ship had made a prosperous voyage and was on her way home. Os all the men in that ship, none were more elated than James. He had been ashore at the Azores and got a few curiosities; he bad been ashore at Rio and Cape Verde Islands, and clambered up the rocky sides of one ot the Falkland Islands and he felt already his mother’s kiss, and heard the cordial welcome of friends at home, and saw their look of wonder, and heard, their words of astonishment while he showed bis shells, and related his adventures to them, He spent the whole of his watch in painting with enthusiastic words the anticipated meeting, and the scenes which would occur at home — Poor fellow, it was only a waking dream ■with him; he never saw bis mother again in this world. The next day lie went to work al ‘stow • ing down’ the oil. It was a rough sea, and the ship pitched heavily, so as to make it hard and dangerous wot k to handle the casks of oil. The last cask was slowed and filled, and in ten minutes more the hatches would be down. Duboice stood on the cask, in the main hatchwar, and was passing a few sticks of wood down amongnsl the water-casks, when the vsssel rolled deeply to the leeward, a ca«k of waier broke from the lashings at the weather rail, and rolled into the hatchway where he stood, and in one instant both bis legs above the knees were literally jammed to pieces—the bones were broken into shivers. We took him into the steerage and did the best we could to bind up his broken limbs, and make him comfortable; but we knew, and he knew that his days were numbered—he must die. That night, as 1 sat by his berth and watched with him, lie was constantly calling 'Mother! mother!’ 0! it was heart-rending to hear him iu his piteous ravings calling ‘mother!— mother!’ and then he would weep like a I child because she came not. In the mor- j ning watch he grew calm, and spoke rationally again. After giving me his parents’ address and a message for them he slept a little while When he awoke he bade me go to the forecastle and open his chest, and under the till 1 should find his Bible. I bronght it to him, and he opened it at the blank leaf, and looked long and eagerlv at the name. His mother had given it to him when he left home and on the flyleaf was written by her hand ‘Presented to James Duboice by his mother, Sarah Duboice.’ ■Now read to me,’ said he, handing me > the book. ‘Where shall I read?’ ‘Where it tells us how to get ready for Heaven.’ I felt bewildered, and knew not where to read; but opening the book at random my eye fell on the fifty-first Psalm till I came to the tenth verse, ‘Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.’ •Hold there! That is just what I want, said he. ‘Now, how shall I get it?’ ‘Pray God to give it to you for Jesus sake, ’1 suggested. ‘O, ves. Jesus is the Saviour. Shipmate, it is an awful thing to die; and I j have got to go. 0, if mother was here to tell me how to get ready!’ and he trembled with earnestness. After a short 1

pause, during which he seemed to be in deep thought, be said; ■Do you know of any place where it is said that such sinners as I can be saved?’ I quoted 1 Tim 1: 15, ‘This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation,, that Ciirist Jesus came into she world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.’ •0, shipmate,’ said he, ‘that is good. — 1 Can you think of any more?’ 1 quoted Hebrew 7: 25, ‘He is able to save them to the uttermost that come unto God bv him, seeing he everliveth to make intelcession for them.’ •That’s plain. Now, if I only knew kow to come to God.’ •Come like a child to its father.’ I suggested. •How’s that?’ ‘As the child feels that his father can , help him in danger, so you are to feel God can help you now. And as the child | trusts his father by fleeing to him, so you | must trust Jesus by casting yourself up-1 on him.’ He lay a little time engaged in earnest i pleadings with God, as was evident from the few words I overheard. Then the tears began to run down his face; his eyes, opened, and a bright smile played like a sunbeam over his features. ‘He forgives me, and I shall be saved, he said, with a voice like the sound of al flute of sweetness. The day dawned—! then the sun arose hand in mine, and felt the death thrill; then he murmured, He’s come; he’s come.’ ‘Who has come?’ said I. ‘Jesus,’ he whispered, and he fell ' asleep. On sped the noble ship till four bells in the afternoon, and then we laid the main- : tops to the mast, and buried him, closely ! sewed in his hammock, in the ‘deep, deep! sea.’ Fearful Flight in a Balloon. On the 16th, at Arian, Mich , a b*l- . loon ascension was made by Messrs. Ban- ■ nister and Thurston. The ascent and de- ■’ cent were a perfect success, landing near, Rigo. While detacb.ing the net work, the sack of the balloon escaped from its fas- t tenings and rose, carrying Mr. Thurston ( with it, who at first felt no uneasiness 1 supposing the gas was escaping and that it would soon settle down again, which proved not to be so. He was soon horror stricken to find himself destitute of any means of managing his vehicle. The power to rise and fly he had—the power ' to manage was left behind and astride of •3 . i the rigging he soon shot up out of sight of friends into the regions of frost. The last seen of him was near Malden, C. W. There is little hope of any other fate than that he will eventually fall to the earth a frozen man. He has a daughter in Adrian, but has no other family. Mr. Bannister, two years ago, made an ascent from the same place, when throwing out ballast too freely, he allmost immediate- i ly rose out of sight, and was not heard from for two days. His balloon became i unmanagble, and himself nearly perished with cold, having frozen both hands and feet. He twice saw lake Erie pass beneath him, and finally landed in Pensylvania, near Beaver, having made, involuniaribly, the longest tripever made in America. The fate of poor Thornton is fearful to contemplate, and no little anxiety is felt far and wide for the result. Doging a Batter. An individual purchased a hat in a store kept by a tradesman by the name :of Dodgion. The article was got in the j absence of the proprietor, and the purchaser left the store, entirely forgetting (by mistake of course,) to pay for the aforesaid ‘tile.’ The tradesman, upon hearing the fact, started for the levee in 6 . hot pursuit of the delinquent. Epon overhauling him. the following scene occurred: ‘See here, sir, I want to speak to you. j ‘Move on.’ •I am Dodgeon the hatter.’ ‘That's my fix.’ 1 tell you, I am Dodgion the hatter.’ ‘So am I; I’m dodgin’ hattef, too—and | very likely we are both dodgin, the same j chap.’ The scene ended with a striking, tableaux, in which Mr Diddler found himself considerably mixed up with ‘Dodgion, the , hatter.* - — ‘Jury,’said an Arkansas judge,‘you kin go out and find a verdict. If you can't get one of your own, get the one the : last jury used.’ They returned a verdict of suicide in the ninth degree. •Dresses made lower than ever.’ We hope not. They are low enough now, in ■ all conscience.

THE GLOBE: THE OFFICIAL PAPER OF CONGRESS. I PUBLISH now my annual Prospectus of The Daily Globe, and The Congressional ’ Globe and Appendix, to remind subscribers, i and inform those who may desire to subscribe, 3 . that Congress will meet on the first Monday of ’ 1 next December, when 1 shall recommence pub lishing the above named papers. They have ’ been published so long that most public men ’ k -ow their character, and therefore Idecm it ’ need less ami nnte accouu tui the kind of matter r they will contain. The Daily Globe will contain a report ofihe 1 debatesiu both branches of Congress as taken . down bv reporters equal, at least, to any corps ' of short hand writers in this or any other coun--1 try. A majority of them will, eacb.be able to to report, verbatim,ten thousand words an hour ! while the average number of words spoken by fluent speakers rarely exceed seven thousand five hundred words an hour. IV hen the debates of a day do not make more than forty ; columns they shall appear in the Daily Globe of the next morning, which will contain, also, the news of the day. together with such editorial articles as may be suggested by passing events. It is al«o my intention, from time, as occasion ! may require, to publish nty reminiscences of the public men with whom I have been associated during the last twenty eight years. Anecdotes of General Jackson, and theleadersofthe party which he conducted, and the leading men of other parties,will, I believe, be interestingnow I when partisaa bitterness has abated. > In becoming the reporter of the debates of ! Congress 1 deemed it proper to say that the Globe would never be a partisan paper. This pledge will not be forfeited by introducing as a contribution to history the political traits of I character which distinguished the public men ofmytime. Although I am. and intend to remain, athourough democrat, I will never obtrude my principles in away to make them obnoxious to any party. But in regard to persons and events which go to make up history, I hope to make the Globe an honest memoir; and with that view I am resolved to speak independently of all parties. The Congressional Globe and Appendix will contain a report of all the debates in Congress, .•evised by the speakers, the messages of the President of the United States, the annual reports of the heads of the executive departments, the laws passed during the session, and copious indexes to all. They will be printed on a double royal sheet, in book form, royal quarto size, each number containing sixteen pages. The whole will make, it is believed, 3,8tt0 and 3,900 pages, as the longsessions for many years have ranged between those numbers, and the next session will be what is termed a “long one.” This 1 believe is the cheapest work ever sold in anv country, whether a reprint or printed from manuscript copy, taking for data the at ej rage number of words of the long session since ! the year 1848. Theaverage number of pages is 3.876, and the average number of words on a page is 2,397,consequently, the average number of words of a long session is 9.29 ’, <72. As I have sold to subscribers that number of words for six dollars, it follows that they have paid less than six and one-half cents for every 109,900 word- I have furnished them, while I have paid niv reporters 629 for every 2,397 words, of this work.in manuscript? Has any other bookanywhere, ever sold a book in the lust instance, while it was new. at so low a rate? I believe not; and so strong is my belief that I hereby agree to give to any person who shall prove’the contrary a complete set of the debates running back to 1833. making forty-three quarto volumes, which sellfor $5 a volume. An i act of Congress authorizes these papers to gobymail free of postage. The next session will be, without doubt, an unusual interesting one; as it willbethe first under a new administration, and several complex questions must be discussed in it for example, the currency, Kansas, revenue, and other questions. The Globe will be asheretofore, the only source from which full debates can be obtained. terms: For a copy of the Daily Globe one year, $lO 00 *■ “ “ six months. 5 00 •• ‘'during the session 5 00 For a copy of Congressional Globe an Appendix, and the laws passed during the session, 0 00 Bink notes, current in the --ec’ion of the country where a subscriber resides, will be received at par.

Having no l.mal Agents, we depend entirely upon the efforts of our political friends to extend its circulation. In no cheaper or more effectual way can political intellence be circulated, zeal excited and party organization preserved than through the medium of the press. All then, who are de sirious of the sucees of Democratic principles aud policy, can serve the cause in no better wav than in extending the circulation of the political organs of the partv. The year, upon which we have entered, will doubtless be one of important events- Upon all matters of public interest we shall give full and reliable intelligence. An important State election occurs next October. A new Legisla- j lature, members of Congress, Supreme Judges, and most of the State officers are to be elected It is only by sleepless vigilence and untiring effort that we can expect to maintain the supremacy of the Democratic party. It behooves every Democrat, then, to inform himself upon the issues of the day. which it will be the object of the S -ntinel faithfully to present, and thus be prepared for the conflict. The Sentinel will be governed iu its political course by the authoratively expressed sentiments of the party. The principles and policy it ! promulgates it will be our aim to advocate and ’ defend, believing that upon the integrity of the j Democratic party rests the preservation of our unequalled Government.
