Disapointment then stole o’er me ;

Thoughts of Winter gloomed before me :

Time, said 1, may ne’er restore me Summer's blissful scenes again.

Ilad I only prized its roses,

But, alas! those hours went stealing, Like veiled beauties by, concealing Half the charms, whose full revealing Might have left this heart aglow — Might have left fond mem’ries beaming On the spirit’s after-dreaming ; Tender beacons, softly gleaming Where Life's darken’d wavelets flow.

List, ye maids now dancing lightly,

List, ye youths so gay and sprightly,

Use your summer moments rightly, Gather roses while ye may.

Life hath but one June, remember ;

Quickly comes its chill November,

Followed soon by wild December, Sweeping all fair lowers away.

A lKerorten's Joxs.— Morgan O'Sullivan, an Irishman, and a celebrated Parliamentary reporter, attached to the London Morning Chronicle, some fifty years ago, was as re- markable for bis humor as his professional ability. When- ever any one offended Morgan, or got out of favor with him, he invariably retaliated in the way of some practical joke that generally placed his antagonist in a very ridiculous position, and afforded the humorist eatisfaction. In this way he once “ got even’’ with two individuals at the same time who had excited his ire—namely, the celebrated Wilberforce, then a leading member of the opposition in Parliament, and ove Jack Finnerty, a Parliamentary reporter of the Morning Herald. Finnerty was fresh from Tipperary, and quite un- acquainted with the characteristics of the different members ef Parliament, but he received a good deal of generous professional assistance at the outset of his carcer from Mor- gan O'Sullivan. Qn the occasion now referred to, Finnerty came into the reporter’s gallery at a period of the night when the debates seemed to have slackened ; he concluded to take a doze on one of the benches, and requested his friend to wake him up if anything lively came before the House, and thereupon went off toslecp. Dresently Mr. Wilberforce got |

upon his legs, and addressed a very thrilling speech before | : : >|

Morgan O’Su! ivan,-which as soon as Wuberforce sat down, | he proceeded t) put is practice thus :

iousing Finuerty from his slum er on the benches, O°-| Su'livan exclaimed, “Jack, Wi berforce has just made an/ oxtracrliaary speech.” rubbing his eycs. “ About the potato; the effect of it on| natural vivacity, the great virtues of it as an article of po-| pular dict ; p.oved that a finest kiud of men were reared on it, far superior to the faylish.” “ Wilberforce said that, did he?’ exclaimed Finnerty ; ‘‘ come, let me take his re- marks in full from your‘notes.” “ With pleasure, wy dear | ‘ellow,” replied O'Sullivan, who commenced as if reading | fiom a note-beck, whilst Finnerty eagerly wrote after him in the following vein: “ Mr. Wilberforce thea emphatically reuarked that it always appeared to him beyond question that the great cause why the Irish laborers, as a body, were so much stronger and capable of enduring so mach more fatigue than tie Knglish arose from t'w surpassing virtue of their potatoe.” ‘ That's what I call cloquence,” interrupted

* What about ?” re:urned E'innerty, |

been born and reared in Lrelaud, where my food wou'd have principally consisted of that inestimable rcot, instead of being the poor, iufirm, sarivelled and stunted creature you, sir, aud honourable gentlemen behold me, L would have been a stout, athietic, handsome man, able to carry an coormous weight.” ‘ Well done, Wilberforce,” exclaimed Jack, in high glee; ‘‘ go on Morgan.” O’Sullivan then proceeded iu the same vein of pathos and absurdity, but adroitly keeping within the bounds that Finnerty’s credulity would swallow, until he had placed a most whimsical speech in the mouth of the grave and earnest Wilberforce. Finnerty, with many expressions of thanks to his brother reporter, starte] for the Herald office. On his way, turning into a tavern close by the Llouse of Commoas, where a number of reportcrs of t'e diffe:ent morning papers were regaling themselves, Jack furnished them all with copies of “ Wilberforce’s speech,” and the hoax found its way the next morning into every paper in London, with the exception of the Morning Chro- nicle, to which, as a maiter ot course, the correct report was furnished by O'Sullivan.

The public were astounded at the extraordinary speech which, according to all the papers, Mr. Wilberforce had made, aud the general opinion was expressed tat he was a candidate for Bedlam. ‘The following evening, on the speak- er taking the chair, Wilberforce rose and claimed the indul- gence of the House. “ Every honorable member,” he ob-

seuted as having made on the previous night.” (Hear the honorable gentleman read the speech amidst the most deafening roars of laughter.) ‘‘ I can assure you, honorable members, that no one could have read this speech with more surprise than I myself did this morning, when I found the paper on the breakfast table. For myself, personally, I care but little about it, though, if I were capable of uttering such nonsense as is here put into my mouth, it is high time that, instead of being a member of this House, I were an inmate of some lunatic asylum. It is for the dignity of this House that 1 feel concerned, for, if honorable members were ca- pable of listeuing to such nonsense, supposing me capable of’! giving expression to it, it were much more appropriate to! eall this a theatre for the performance of farces than a place | for the legislative deliberations of the representatives of the | people.” his was only one of the many instances in which Morgan | O'Sullivan paid off, to his heart’s coutent, members of! Parliament and other potential personages, who had, in some | manner or other, provoked the waggish propensities of this | incurable humorist. }

Amoor Country anv River.—A late American Journal furnishes the following interesting account of the Amoor River and Country, which, owing to its recent oceupaney by the Russians, and the efforts made by that Government to render it a second Sebastopol, has brought it prominently before the notice of the reading world, a large majority of whom did not know until lately that such a country existed.

“ Perry MeD. Collins, Esq., Consular Agent at Amoor River, Asiatic Russia, lias arrived in this city, and expects to sail in the course of a few days on his return thither by the way of St. Petersburgh. It appears by his statements that American commerce at the Amoor is steadily increasing, several ships having sailed from the United States to parti- They have taken out assorted . v

cargoes, including cotton goods, wines, liquors, ship storcs and chandlery, all kinds of hardware, machinery, steam en- gines, ete. There are now cn the waters of the Amoor five steamers built in thiscountry. A Russian officer, Captain Davendoff, at present in New York, is superintending the construction of steam engines and machinery to be placed in gun-boats to be constructed on the Amoor, which is navigab’s for steamboats at least twenty-five hundred miles,

“The climate is similar to Northwest Canada, and tho agricultural productions about the same. The principal value of the country, as yet developed, is for its furs and minerals, but when the steam navigation shall be fully established, the trade will be immeasurably increased in ether productions, and Siberia and Tartary will add their treasure to those of the Amoor country. From Moscow to the head of the Amoor a distance of 4000 miles, are upwards of 500 cities, towns, and villages of industrious inhabitants. The Amoor Company this year sent to the Amcor River three or four vessels with full cargoes, together with iron steamers, to initiate their project, viz., unite the mouth of the Amoor with Siberia by a regular line of steam packets. The present ukase of the Emperor of Russia permitting Siberian exiles to emigrate to the Amoor is with a view of settling the shores of that river, and developing the resources of that country.

‘The coustruction of railroads is contemplated and also lines of telegraph conuceting with Moscow, and other distant points. All these movements of the Russian Government are regarded with great interest, as they cannot fail to open to American commerce a large and valuable market to many of our manufactures. Considering our diversified interesis, including those of whaling in the north Pacific, and contig- uous to Siberia snd the Amoor, the opinion prevails that we should hare a Consul General, instead of a Cousular officer of comparatively insignificant grade, with insufficient salary.”

The following extract of a letter from England to the editor of the Wesleyan explains more clearly the cause of the accident on board the Great Eastern than any nceontis we have yet seen:

‘Phe lamentable accident which has prevented the sailing of the Great Eastern for some weeks contiaues to occupy the psblic attenticn, Lt is difficult for a non-professional mind fairly to appreciate the cause of the disaster. The following, however, is, perhaps, a not altozether unintelligible accomnt of the matter. The cham‘er which borst was

formed by the furnel on the inside and & casing on the out-

side. The primary use of this chamber, which was filled with cold water, being supplicd to the chambor cold, and drawn cff whe: heated by the waste guses passing up the fanne!, first had ‘the effect of keeping the water casing cool, and afterwards, wheu heated, was readily converted into steam in the boiler. A small stand pipe for lettiug off any steam that might be generated within the chamber was at- tached to it. This pipe was unnecessarily and most unfor- tunately fitted with a stop cock. The tap was unhappily closed, by an act of most unaccountable neglect —and con- sequently, when the engineer ceased to feed the boiler from the chamber, steam was generated, for which there was no escape, and the chamber burst. ‘The result was terrible. —-- we tO0

Tux Great Easrern.—It has boen decided that the great ship is to leave her present anchorage at Weymouth on Satur- day, the 8th inst., to proceed on her trial trip to Holyhead. No passengers will be conveyed upon the trial trip to Holy- head, and all the persons who have taken births for the oc- casi-n will have the passage money returned to them. Under the provisions of the Mercantile Marine Acts the Great kastern would not be permitted to carry passengers, and the directors would be liable to heavy penalties if they did so before receiving the certificate of the Marine Department of the Board of Trade. Should the trial iP ae satisfactory, the Great Eastern will leave Holyhead for Portland in the United States on the 20th inst.— London Times.

Marshal MacMahon, in a letter fo a friend in Paris, con- cerning the battle of Magenta, relaice that he saw awhols regiment of the enemy destroyed to the jast man, the colone! of it embracing his colors as he fell. The cause of this wholesale butchery was MacMahou’s having taken the Austrians in flank, and having got possession, after a terrible fight, of the clevated causeway, and placed forty cannon, made on the new system, so that they completely enfiladed the dense mass of Austrians. One ball alone was seen te kneck down betweea thirty and forty men.

The celebrated African traveller, Dr. Livingston, has been heard from. At last accounts he was at Expedition Island, where he had witnessed several battles betwee. the Portuguese and the natives of the country, in all of witieh the latter were badly defeated. In one instance the natives were found in possession of several pieces of bronze cannon. He had a very narrow escape from death by drewn- ing, and was expected to leaye soon for Tete. In his journey he speaks of having seen some curious and remarkable people.

A curious fraud ia the sale of hay has been discovered ia Boston. The hay was so loaded that » person could crawl into a hole left near the bottom of the cart, and in this place a colored man, in the employ of the hay speculator wasin the habit of concealing himself while the hay was being loaded. Of course the live freight was upon the top of the load when

delivered, and the purchaser little suspected that either them-

selves or the animated one hundred and fity pound lump be- fore them, had been sold. Some of the purchasers haye paid for him a dozen of times over, and begin to think it is ft time to take possession, and an animated and good natured controversy is going on between two of the largest purchasers, as to which has the best claim to the fellow. -Dese- The following are the salaries per month paid the principal
