COELMBCS AND (iAimiAl.DI, On the crowded quays ol Genoa Walk’d a discontented man — Gazing forth upon tho ocean, Far as straining eye could scan ; Fixejl and pallid was his forehead, And his arras were tightly lock’d Over the heart that in his bosom Like a surging billow rock’d. Gazed he forth, upon the ocean, Through the clouds of misty night— Gazed he forth when dancing sunshine Robed thesea in golden light; And his lips would mutter strangely, And his forehead weave-a frown While he hugged his heart more tightly, As ’twere hard to keep it down. Gathered the people oft around him— Jeering men and laughing maids, Mocking scorn and freezing pity— Nodding chins and wagging heads. And the gray beards cried, “Good Jesul ’Tis a sight should make us sad This poor man has gone demented, Poor Columbus, sure, is mad!” Like the madman of old story Stands another Genoese now, Fixing on the future ocean Earnest eye and pallid brow; Throbs his heart with ardent longings, But ho uttereth not his thought, For the might of his conceptions In the Future must be wrought. Like Columbus looks he outward, Through the gloomy clouds of night, To a world of glorious beauty Shining in upon his sight. Heeds Me not the jibes and mocking; Heeds he not the words of scorn! For the act is in the Future, Though tho thought be newly born Garibaldi! mount thine ocean! Grasp the helm and sway the bark! Onward’ O! thou Genoese sailor! Freedom is thy glorious mark! Golden lands gave old Columbus To the grasping kings of Spain; Thou mays win thy country’s birthright—- » Freedom for Italy again!

JHisccUaucous. MEETING A. DUEIiLIST. We have always regarded the practice of duelling as a relic of the j barbarous ages —a custom which is sanctioned neither by the laws of religion nor of reason, and which should be condemed by every moral, sober, judging man. Of course the duel is no criterion; often times it 1 happens that the professed duellist,; when called upon to meet death or danger in an unwonted shape, is the j first to turn his back and lice. A few years since, as a New England gentleman, whose name we ;shafl call Brown, was passing a few -days at a hotel in one of our West•ern cities, he had the misfortune -unintentionally to offend the susceptible honor of a tall Louisan a Colonel, who was one of his fellow'boarders. His apologies not being satisfactory, a challenge was sent him, which,(however, he declined, on the ground 4>f conscientious scruples. The Colonel, who, by the way, had won in two or three encounters quite a reputation as a duellist, at once conceived the idea that his opponent was a coward, and resolved to disgrace him jby flogging him in the face of all the assembled wisdom of the house. Accordingly, the next day, at dinner time, in marched the duellist,_ armed with a formidable cowhide, and advancing to Brown’s chair, proceeded to dust his jacket for him in the most approved style. Brown was astonished. Luckily, he had been a lieutenant of militia in his native State, and knew the importance of incommoding the enemy by a diversion. So, seizing a gravy tureen, he tossed tho contents into the face of the belligerent Colonel, and before that hero could recover from the drowning sensation thus occasibned, be sprang upon the table and began to shower upon him with a liberal hand the contents of the dishes around. "You are an infernal—” s Coward, the Colonel was about to say, but at that moment a plate of greens struck full upon his open jnouth, and the word was blockaded and lost forever. ■ “Ha!” cried the little New Englander, whose blood was now up, pfond of greets, are you? Take a potato, too!” and he hurled a telling Volley of hard potatoes at him. “Elegant eggs here—capital with calf’s head!” and crash came a plate of soft-boiled eggs against the side of his cranium. The blows of the cowhide, which had hitherto descended on the Yankee’s head and shqulders, now began t;o fall more Weakly and wildly, and it became evident that the assailant, half, stunned, choked, and par-

tially blinded, was getting the worst of it. His courage was rapidly oozing out. “Take a turkey?” shouted Brown, as a noble looking old gobler fairly descended upon the Colonel’s head, and bursting, filled his hair and eyes with delicious-looking stuffing; “and here’s the fixings,” he continued, as the squash and jelly followed after. By this time the Colonel was irretrievably defeated, and, as his merciless opponent seized a hot plum pudding, and holding it above hi&i head with both hands, seemed almost to bury him beneath it, he quailed in terror and made a rush for the door. “Stop for the pudding, Colonelstop for the pudding!” shouted the Yankee. “Pudding, Colonel,pudding!” yelled all his fellow-boarders, amid convulsions of laughter. But the Colonel was too terrified to listen to their kind invitations, and did not cease running until he had locked himself in his room. But, although the Colonel escaped from the plum pudding, he could not escape from the ridicule which the affair occasioned. He subsequently challenged four persons against whom his ire was particularly excited, who all consented to fight, but availing themselves of the privilege of the challenged party, appointed pudding bags as the weapons. At length the unhappy duellist, finding no one was willing to shoot or to be shot at, was obliged to leave the place.

Single Rods, complete for attaching sent by express to any part of the country. We offer unusual inducements to persons who arc engaged in putting up Rods or who may desire to engage in this business. County and State Rights for sale. This Rod is in general use in Central Indiana, and many other localities throughout tho country. It always succeeds wherever it is introduced. It is no humbug. No man who examines its merits will ever buy any other Rod. The old iron rods give way before it as ignorance flies before the advance of light.— According to Prof. Faraday, and other men of note, copper has a conducting power 5 to 8 times greater than iron; and, in addition to this important fact, Munson’s Rod has a surface inside and out, nearly three times as great as the old iron rod. Munson’s Rod is an ornament on the best buildings, and does not rust, but will endure an age without losing its conduct ing power. This Rod has received the First Frc.niwms at tho American Institute of New York ; the Franklin Institute of Philadelphia; tho National F’air at Louisville, Ky. ; the State Fairs of Ohio, lowa, Indiana, Connecticut, and wherever exhibited. 11 was never beaten in any contest, and never will bo where there are truly scientific judges.
