Letter from Rev. T. EL Eddy. For (ho Indiana American. ECTAW HotSK, ) Baltimore, June 3rd, 1853. Harpers Kerry. Bko. Barnes: The traveler on the Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road descends

the Potomac for many miles, lie finds it, a laughing noisy rivulet, high lip amul the mountains he journeys on with it until he sees, spread out before him, a broad and beautiful river, and he finally leaves it to wash the city of "magniticent distances," while he makes his way . . . - . ... the "city ot monuments . 1 he most remarkable spot on the l'oUmac is Harper's Ferry. I say that there is established branch" of the U. S. Am will now hed here "a , rmory. The ie government buildings are very reputa- . . i it. ble so far as I could see from a hasty ex terior glance.

And as he cast his eye upon the strained, torn, shiverod masses ot rock, that wonder has increased in intensity, Some have supposed that the sudden accumulation ot waters pouring trom the mountains inla these rivers sought an outlet ia vain. Right before them rose np in defiant majesty the Blue Riixje, and roiled back the flood the angered ; waves tossed and fretted. Still came the Hoods trom above and rolling down the mountains swelled more and more the weight and power of the "Hell of Waters" which dashed against the mountain until the ribs of rock were broken, and the mighty mass foil headlong, opening a way tor the victorious Hoods, which went wildly on, thundering aud foaming in the vale below '. of a lake at some distance up tiie valley of one or the other river, and tint by some derangement its barriers were de stroyed that the waters sought a natural outlet down tins valley ami finding the ridge in their way were piled up against it, until it bowed beneath their weight and tell.

" No thought can be withholden from thee; "These are too wonderful for me: 'I have heard of thee with the hearing of the ear, "But sow wise ete seeth tiiee ! "Wherefore I abhor myself, "I repent in dust and ashes." When that mountain was broken none can tell. When the sword of Omnipotence cleft it in twain, no man knoweth. Whether his messenger was the earth quake, or the chainless flood, or volcanhres, or whether he simply "snoke and as uunt, i Know not. . j . x. ma M.-t-ne pernaps may not impress others as it did me. We have different temperaments, some have no love for nature. There were persons in the cars with us who as we passed some ol the wildest, grandest scenery of the mountains, instead of seeing it, were reading what do you suppose! The negro melodies!! They will go home too, and speak of the "fine scenery of tne mountains!" I need only say they were grinning, giggling girls and their how much might be made if it were TfRXED into a show (Where is Bar num)and a carriage road by some means, cut to the summit, or some plan, to draw people up by a stationary engine!! Do you wonder we are callel mercenary ' when the first thought of a man on be"- ! holding such a scene is "How could it be made to pay!" But of hia suggestion I may say it would pat I would have given a five cheerfully to have spent my twenty minutes upon the crag on the Potomac side. Toallrcaders of the American who intend coming East by this route let me say by all means stop at Cumberland and stay all night instead of going clear on to Baltimore. You will have a good night's rest, and have daylight to descend the valley of the Potomac, and to see the wonders of Harper's Ferry. I T. M. E. j Acrirnttiirtti ?Ieetinjr. Th Franklin Co.

With the preen vines running o'er ljiUiceit window as of yore. Humming birds and humming bees Sniping low, sweet melodiem To the gentle hearted flower. All the long, bright summer hour? Are there daisies on lhe lawn, Catching kisses from the dawn? Is the clover round and red. Nodding its coquettish head To the breece that stops lo woo, Half in earnest, half untrue, Whining o'er the sunny breat Of ihe partridge in her 'nest? Does thy heart, my Dora Doon, Thrill to life's fair morning luuo? Is Ihy bosom light and free. As the young bird's on the tree? Have thy brown eyes flll'd w ith tears, Otten in our parted years? Art thou happy night aud noon, Gentle hearted Dora Doon? lora Doon, I long to be Talking "face to face" with tliee, And to ask, I'm pining so. If thy heart be mine orno: Long to see each hill and dell We in childhood loved so well, Long to ask if I mav be All in all through life to thee', pora Doon. the wish Is vain, Nevermore we meet again.

All without isdark and dreary, Everywhere I roam. O, brothers, how my heart grows weary, Sighing for the blest ones at home. Through all earth's sunny scenes I wandered In youth's gay morn; How many precious hours I've squandered, How many meicies scorned; When aeekiug siu's delusive pleasures, Wretched was I, But now my heart lias found a treasure There with the blest ouesou high, All without ts dark, &.c.

They led the tale of childhood, dreaming Of its youthful, merry plays, While flexile fancy, ever teeming Full of happy, bright hey-days. The noon-day bells of life are pealing Round the globe a busy sue; Their stirring, giaut notes are stealing O'er a care worn, dusty throng.

No lovlier sight cau be witnessed in this rugged world than that of a kneeling child. 1 addressing Heaven with words of prayer, yet' ! sometimes the efforts of children in this way , are quite amusing. We find "going the: rounds," the story of a little boy who had his pocket knife, aud occasionally loaned the , ! treasure to hie playmates. One evening he I was kueelinsat his mother's kuee, saying his customary prayer, wbicli hecloseo up iu these words; "And please God, give little Jimmy Bailey a kuil'e of his own, so he won't want j lo borrow mine all the time ' j This reminds us of a certain little flaxen- j haired, blue-eyed Willie, now verging into , his third summer, who somehow acquired a' habit of verifying his statements by the use of the words "deed and double." Not long i ago he knelt beside his mother's chair aud ; told her he would say his '-little prayer" alone. Accordingly hi commenced and proceeded just half way through, when his memory failed him, and hecould proceed no farther. After a pause of a few seconds, he relieved himself liom the dilemma by using his staudiug verification thus: "Now 1 lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep, 1 oo so, in deed and doable." The above remiuds us of the prayer of a bright witty little "three year old" of our ac- ' qnaiulance. He was fond of the ludicrous, 1 and whenever lie heard anything tending ! that way, his mind was filled with it. One ! evening he had been listening attentively lo a ! song from his playmates, something like the I following: "Old Dan Tucker he got drank, 1 He fell in the lire and kicked op a chunk." In a short time his mother wished to pal 1 hint lo bed. He knelt at her knee to say the i Lord's Prayer, as usual; but Ihe song had rot mixed up with his devotions, and he commenced as follows: "Our Father who art tn Heaven fell in the lire and kicked up a chunk." This was too much for the mother, and the child was allowed lo go to bed without finishing his prayer. Portsmouth Tribune.

If Lsalt splfB thaald Di! The conflicting accounts from Paris, in reference to the Emperor'a health, naturally suggest the question, what would be the consequence it he was to die? If the assertions of the so-called republicans are to be believed, Louis Napoleon is the victim of a chronic dis-

! ease, which, in less than a year, will cer tainly carry htm on. It the declarations oi the Bonapartists are to be credited, there is nothing the matter with his majesty, nor has been, except a few inconvenient boils. We shall not pre- ! tend to decide between the two opin ions, as we are neither the Emperor's valet nor physician, and hare besides not ihe least inclination to be either, or even the Emperor himself. If Louis Napoleon should die at an early day, there would, we fear, be wild work, notwithstanding his pretty Empress, and his sesatt:s cosscltum about the succession. There are, in truth, but two real powers in France, the army and the people, though there are any number of factions, and any quantity of pretended powers. In England, not only the declared laws of the realm, but a thousand customs and prescriptions, exercise an influence, which though moral entirely, is greater than any other. In the United States, reverence not merely for the federal constitution, and for the State constitutions also, but for law and order generally, constitutes a power mightier than even the passing will of the people. But in France there remain no customs, laws, nor constitutions, which command respect, which have a hold on the public mind. If, in England, the monarch dies, the next heir quietly succeeds. If we lose a President here, the Vice President steps into his place, and not a voice is lifted against it. For both in England and here, the Constitution is reverenced more than the man; bolb in England and here obedience to law in each citizen's fundamental notion of his public duty. But in France, ever 6ince the ruin of the old monarchy, there has been nothing to stop universal license, on the fall of a dynasty, except the brute force of the army, or the moral force of the people s expressed win. i ne latter nas been generally substantially nugatory, both because it has not been intelligent, and because it has no means of enforcing its wishes. There is reason to believe that the government of Louis Philippe, and even the republic of Lamartine, were never acceptable to the mass of the French people. But the Parisians sustained those governments, and the rural population submitted because they could not help it: and hence ! both governments continued until the "my turned against them, when they practically the only real power in France. Louis Napoleon, by appealirg to the ' popular rote, has obtained for his dynasi ty a quasi sanction by the people; but it , is plain that if he was to lose the supj port of the army, the enthusiasm of the people for his name could do him no good, tic would, in tact, sink; like a ; stone. While the Emperor lives, the fidelity of the army is possible. If hecould live for thirty years, and retain the aid of the army, he might, by gradually extending i liberty, do much for France. But the first is nearly as impossible physically, my will not, we may rest assured, sub- ! mit to be ruled by a boy; there will, as under similar circumstances in imperial j Rome, be a general scramble; and that commander will attain the purple, who is : most popular with the troops, and most unscrupulous. This will be the result, when the emperor dies, if the army remains opposed to the people. But if the army poes over temporarily to the 6ide of the peo- ! pie, as it has so often done before, then : there will be a fourth, fifth, or sixth attempt at a republic. In the end, possij bly, one of these attempts may succeed 1 permanently, though we doubt it. What France wants, before she can become re- , publican really, is the habit of self gov ernment, wbicn she can only obtain through tree municipalities, local elections, and the spread ol sound political views. These can only be had rradualy. Bt wh;le her present 8Vgtem of centralization continues, she will be 'governed absolutely, let who will reign trans, ana wnetner she is called empire, kingdom, or republic.
