The morning breezes freshly blow, The waves in golden sunlight quiver I The Hebrewsjdaughter wanders slow

Beside the mighty Idol River. A babe within her bosom lay,— And must she plunge it in the deep? »3he raised her eyes to heaven to pray

She turn'd them down to earth to weep

She knelt beside the rushing tide, 'Mid rushes daikk, and flow'rets wild ^Beneath the plane* tree?s shadow 4 wide 'f The weeping mother'placed her child, "Peace be around thee—though thy

a Belle completing her toilet for a ball.

"What!—yet another?—can it be That neck needs ornament to thee? Yet not thy jewels—they are bright, VBtit that dark eye hath softer light—

And though eacb gem had been a •star, /.j'j "Thy sinvple self were lovelier far, Yet stay—that string of matchless pearl? ?Nny—wear it—wear it—radiant girl For ocean's best of pure and white Should only 'b5 thy foil to-night,

And that slow loo(k, (hat seems to" stray .' As each sweet feature made it stay. And that small finger, lightly la»d On dimpled cheek and glossy braid, As if to know that all they wera Is really there and not a dream. I wish I knew the gentle thought By all this living beauty wrought. I wish I knew if that sweet browThat neck on which thou gazest now— If thy rich lip and brilliant face— Thy perfect figure's breezy grace— If these are half the spell to thee,, That will this night bewilder me!

CASSIUS.

There are some impulses, of which men

are

subjects, for which it is im

possible to account and none, the nature of which is more inexplicable, than that almost irresistahle propensity for a leap which one feels looking over a precipice. A Danish paper, in remarking upon this subject, states

that

during several

months past a number of individuals,, principally young men, have become bewildered in gazing from a height called the Round Tower, and have thrown themselves from it. lo prevent a recurrence of these misfortunes, it has been found necessary to station sentinels at the place, he same precaution, it is said, is adopted in Norway with regard to a lake, the bason is so extremely deep, and surrounded by projecting rocks to such a height, that it spreads its still motionless waters effectually sheltered from the light of the day. The Norwegians attribute this sensation to the magic power of the Dymphs or nines who are supposed by them to people every river, lake, and vale, in the romantic regions of Scandinavia.

Printing.—It

appears by a docu

ment recently communicated to ongress, that the first hook printed in America was a religious work in Spanish, published at Mexico in 1544. It was entitled "Doctrina Christiana para los Indios This was about 123 years after the conquest of Me&i co by Cortes ', liie first printing in the English Colonies was at Cambridge, in Massachusetts, in 1GS8—18 years after the landing of the Pilgrims at Plymouth The first thing ..printed was the freeman's oath the next an almanac and the next the psalms turned into metre..

An Irishman who was employed on the canal last spring, at Mears, was observed one day very intently watching a red headed wood pecker, while il was "tapping a hollow beach tree." On being asked what attracted his attention so marvelously—"I am speering," said he, "at the strange baste upon yonner tree—for sure nough the silly crathur has knocked his face against it till his head is all a gore of blood!"
