THE LONE STAR. 
I have watched it through the heavens 
Marking out its shining way, 
Lighting up the midnight darkness 
With its glory-beaming ray. 
Lonely still it ever wanders 
Through the shadow of the sky, 
And as now, ’tis ever gazing 
From its distant home on high. 
O, ’tis like an erring spirit 
From its home celestial driven, 
From the bowers that lie in brightness, 
Shut within the gates of heaven; 
Yes the light so pure and holy, 
Falling on my upturned brow, 
Surely is a radiance borrowed 
From high heavens altar now. 
’Tis a mystery none may fathom, 
Save the author of its birth, 
But I still may dream ’tis gazing 
On the lonely child of earth; 
And I still at eve may watch if 
Ever moving slowly on, 
In its stateliness and glory 
’Till the shades of night are gone. 
Thus ’twill move when I am resting 
Calmly where the willows wave, 
And its rays will then be falling, 
Coldly falling on my grave. 
Yes, that star will then be gazing 
Nightly on my lonely tomb, 
And its sad and mournful glory 
Will dispel the shadowy gloom.

A RILE ON THE ST. LAWRENCE. 
On a beautiful morning in the month of 
August last, I left Buffalo on a journey to 
Massachusetts, via. Lake Ontario, the River 
St. Lawrence and the ermont Central 
Railroad. To mo it was a new route, and 
the scenery, towns, and everything else, 
had a virgin freshness, and kept my ejes 
constantly open when aught could bo seen. 
It was at four in the afternooon that I 
left Lewiston in that new and magnificent 
steamer, the New York, which, in connec¬ 
tion with the Bay State, runs to Ogdens-' 
burgh; and the two constitute the Ameri¬ 
can Express line. It had been very hot du¬ 
ring' the early part of the afternoon, but 
immediately after a heavy shower, which 
occurred between three and four, the 
weather changed; and when our splendid 
craft passed down the Niagara river, a cool 
breezo was in our face, giving the passen¬ 
gers a most luxuriant fanning, and putting 
all on board in the best spirits. The change 
in the weather caused a heavy white fog to 
rest on the bosom of the lake, particularly 
on the right, or towards tho shore ; and its 
singular appearance, at times, awakened 
much curiosity among the passengers. At 
one point it presented, for several minutes, 
a striking phenomenon, a mound or hillock, 
almost as white as snow, standing, to ap¬ 
pearance, on table-lands of the same hue ! 
This was about the hour of sunset; and 
having watched the fog in its fantastic 
movements until it faded almost from sight 
in tho dying light of day, I retired to my 
state room to muse on what 1 had seen du¬ 
ring tho afternoon, and to have a foretaste, 
by anticipation, of the beauties of the sce¬ 
nery through which I expected to pass on 
the coming day. 
The next morning I was awakened at day¬ 
break, by a friend, who rapped at my door 
to assure mo that it was “ an almighty beau¬ 
tiful morning,” and that wo were in the 
midst of the Thousand Islands. Dressing 
in haste, and hurrying on deck, I found the 
fog was so thick that one could scarcely dis¬ 
cover an island, or a continent even, at the 
distance of ton rods. An almighty beauti¬ 
ful morning! So much, thought I, for my 
legal friend’s taste. However, in five min¬ 
utes the boat passed suddenly out of the 
cloud, and we were in tho middle of one of 
tho most enchanting scenes I ever beheld. 
There seemed to be nearly a hundred islands 
in sight at one circling sweep of the eye.— 
Wet with the dews of morning, they look¬ 
ed as though they had just risen from the 
realms of Neptune—had been born during 
the night, with their garniture of moss and 
foliage on ; and, indulging in a brief mytho¬ 
logical reverie, I looked around on all sides, 
hoping to discover the river-gods who must 
father tho enchanting work. But they had 
plunged beneath tho bosom of the stream 
before tho eyelids of Aurora began to part, 
and I failed of seeing them 
The Thousand Islands wore thus describ¬ 
ed by a French navigator, who wrote nearly 
two hundred years ago:—“An infinity of 
little islands are at the entrance of the lake, 
in such great number, and in such variety, 
that tho most experienced Iroquois pilots 
sometimes lose themselves there, and expe¬ 
rience considerable difficulty in distinguish¬ 
ing the course to be steered in the confusion, 
and, as it were, tho labyrinth formed by the 
islands, which otherwise have nothing agree¬ 
able beyond their multitude. For these 
are only high rocks, rising out of the water, 
covered merely with moss or spruce, or 
stunted wood, whose roots spring from the 
clefts of tho rocks, which can supply no 
other aliment or moisture to these barren 
troes than what the rains furnish them.”— 
The Frenchman took rather a prosaic view of 
these islands, otherwise ho would not have 
said that they have “ nothing agreeable be¬ 
yond their multitude.” I know not how 
they looked two hundred years ago, but now, 
viewed separately and singly, many ol them 
make a pleasant impression. Soil has ac¬ 
cumulated to considerable depth; and, 
moistened with heavy dews and dense togs, 
as well as rain, vegetation looks luxuriant 
on some of them, and ti-ees attain no con¬ 
temptible height. Each of those wearing 
this aspect, is truly agreeable to the eye. 
At Ogdensburgh tho passengers bound for 
Montreal, took tho Jonny Lind, a smaller 
boat, and bettor adapted for river naviga¬ 
tion. She is an agilo craft, and went down 
the river upon tho full loap. The gaiety of 
her motion seemed to diffuse its spirit 
among the passengers; and it was a jolly 
company that rode over tho Long Sault, 
Coteau, Cedar, Cascade and La Chine rap¬ 
ids on that occasion. An elderly gentleman 
who was in the battle of Chrysler s Farm 
and othor skirmishes along our route, in the 
war of 1812-15, pointed out tho interesting 
localities as we passed them, and amused 
the passengers by laughable as well as pa¬ 
triotic reminiscences in which he lavishly 
indulged. His mirthful garrulity was the 
Yankee Doodle of tho voyage to Montreal. 
The last part of the ride down the St. 
Lawrence is “ shooting the rapids,” ono or 
two of which are from eight to twelve miles 
long. In somo places the current is very 
rapid, and the water foams and is quite prod¬ 
igal of its white caps. In passing tho “ split 
rock” in tho Cedars, and through tho La 
Chino rapids, timid peoplo are apt to be 
moved with fear, while those of more self- 
possession, who havo confidence in the men 
at the wheel, enjoy the excitement to a very 
high degree. From tho Indian village on 
the American side, just above tho La Chine, 
a “red” pilot comes on board, and, with 
threo other men, takes his place at the 
wheel. When in tho foaming torrents, and 
the boat is pitching and sinking as it were, 
beneath one’s feet, you hear the loud rattle 
of tho tiller chains, while tho lour stalwart 
wheelmen aro straining every nerve at their 
post; you soe tho boat tumbling and curv¬ 
ing suddenly and gracefully around the na¬ 
ked rocks, and you feel a triumphant shout 
slowly creeping to the tip of your tonguo. 
Fairly through tho rapids, your ecstacy bub¬ 
bles over, and you long for the time when 
you may again descend the St. Lawrence to 
Montreal. J - c - 
WASHINGTON.-AN INDIAN LEGEND. 
The following Indian legend, relative to 
the spirit homo of Washington, is extracted 
from Morgan’s Leaguo of the Iroquois. It 
is curious, as showing the estimation in 
which tho father of his country was held by 
this singular people, and their idea of future 
felicity: 
Among the modern beliefs engraved upon 
the ancient faith of tho Iroquois, there is 
ono which is worthy of particular notice.— 
It relates to Washington. According to 
their present belief, no white man ever 
reached the Indian Heaven. Not having 
been created by the Great Spirit, no pro¬ 
vision was made for him in their scheme 
of theology. IIo was excluded both from 
Heaven and from tho place of punishment. 
But an exception was made in favor of 
Washington. Becauso of his justice and 
benevolence to the Indian, ho stood pre¬ 
eminent above all othor white men. When, 
by tho peace of 1783, the Indians were 
abandoned by their English allies, and loft 
to make their own terms with the American 
government, the Iroquois were more expos¬ 
ed to severe measures than tho other tribes 
in their alliance. At this critical moment 
Washington interfered in their behalf as the 
protector of Indian rights, and the advocate 
of a policy towards them of tho most en¬ 
lightened "justice and humanity. After his 
death ho was mourned by the Iroquois as a 
benefactor of their race, and his memory 
was cherishod with reverence and affection. 
A belief was spread abroad among them that 
the Great Spirit had received him into a 
celestial residence upon tho plains of Heav¬ 
en, the only white man whoso deeds had 
entitled him to this heavenly favor. Just 
by the entrance of Heaven is a wall enclos¬ 
ure, the ample grounds within which aro 
laid out with avenues and shaded walks.— 
Within is a spacious mansion, constructed 
in the fashion of a fort. Every object in 
nature which could plcaso a cultivated taste 
had been gathered in this blooming Eden to 
render it a delightful dwelling-place for the 
immortal Washington. The faithful Indian, 
as he enters Heaven, passes the enclosure. 
He sees and recognises the illustrious inmate 
as he walks to and fro in quiet meditation. 
But no word ever passes his lips. Dressed 
in his uniform, and in a state of perfect fe¬ 
licity, he is destined to remain through eter¬ 
nity in the solitary enjoyment of the celes¬ 
tial residence prepared for him by the Great 
Spirit. 
Persons of a weak mind and strong will, 
seldom suspect the mischief they continu¬ 
ally occasion to originate with themselves. 
Wisdom is a palace of which only the ves¬ 
tibule has yet been entered. 
“DUTY” AND “GLORY.” 
The Homo Journal thus felicitously de¬ 
picts with a few strokes of tho pen, the 
character of the late Duke of Wellington, 
and tho distinctive differences in his charac¬ 
ter and that of his great antagonist, Bona¬ 
parte : 
It has been said that the Duke of Wel¬ 
lington never wrote a despatch, in which 
the word duty did not occur, and that Na¬ 
poleon never wrote a despatch to which tho 
word glory was wanting. That is tho dif¬ 
ference between tho two men, and the 
two countries to which they belonged. It 
was the moral superiority that made Wel¬ 
lington tho final victor. As a mere general 
the Duke of Wellington was immeasurably 
tho inferior of Napoleon. Napoleon dis¬ 
played more genius in any one campaign, 
than Wellington did in his whole life; but 
the dogged man of Duty triumphed at 
length, over the brilliancy of Glory; so it 
was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall 
be. The Frenchman may laugh at tho sto- 
lidi y and stupidity of the Englishman.— 
But so long as ono race is capable of be¬ 
lieving in tho august and commanding na¬ 
ture of Duty, and tho other race is not, 
England’s supremacy will bo maintained.— 
For every Napoleon produced by France, 
Britain will always be ablo to find a Wel¬ 
lington. The Duke was particularly fitted 
to command an English army, as much as 
his great antagonist to lead the soldiers of 
France. There was no flummery, clap-trap 
or humbug about Wellington. Brief and 
plain in speech, vigorous in enforcing obecii- 
once, doing equal justice to all ranks—a 
gentleman and a man of principle—his sol¬ 
diers knew what to expect from him, and 
could shape their conduct accordingly.— 
Other generals have excited moro enthu¬ 
siasm in their men. but none was ever moro 
respected and relied on than the “Iron 
Duke.” 
NEWSPAPERS AND THEIR PATRONS. 
The Boston Boo has somo very sensible 
and truthful remarks, in describing what 
some peoplo expect of newspapers. A great 
portion of the community, it says, supposo 
that newspapers can publish everything that 
occurs, far and near, and this whether it re¬ 
fers to public or private matters. Indeed, 
it has now come to pass that, in matters of 
a purely private and personal nature, whore 
a single individual is to bo alono benefited, 
the custom prevails to trot off to some one 
or all of the newspapers, to obtain a “ no¬ 
tice.” If an individual has a notion in his 
hoad; if ho imagines he has made a dis¬ 
covery or an invention ; if he has construct¬ 
ed a machine, or recoi ved a package of goods: 
if he has become possessed of somo novel 
toy; bought a calf with two heads or five 
legs, he expects every newspaper is to open 
its columns at any length, and enlighten tho 
public on the same, simply because he “is a 
subscriber.” 
We agree with the Bee in saying that 
these things have arrived at a state when it 
is high time they were stopped. If people 
want their private business or pleasure ad¬ 
vertised, then let them pull out their cash 
and pay for it; pay what and all that it is 
worth. It costs publishers money, and a 
good deal of it; they pay cash down for 
everything they have and use — for labor, 
paper, &c., and it is only from those whom 
they individually benefit that they can ob¬ 
tain the means to meet their outlay. 
That politeness which we put on in order 
to keep tho assuming and the presumptuous 
at a proper distance, will generally succeed. 
But it sometimes happens, that these ob¬ 
trusive characters are on such excellent 
terms with themselves, that they put down 
this very politeness to tho score of their 
own great merits and high pretensions, 
meeting tho coldness of our roservo with a 
ridiculous condescension of familiarity, in 
order to set us at ease with ourselves. To 
a bystander, few things are more amusing 
than the cross play, underplot, and final on- 
claircissements, which this mistake invaria¬ 
bly occasions. 
“ I wish I was a ghost, blamed if I don’t, 
said a poor covey, tho other night, as'he sat 
soliloquizing in the cold. ' “ Thoy goes wher¬ 
ever they please, toll free; they don’t owo 
nobody nothin’, and that’s a comfort. Who¬ 
ever heard tell of a man who had a bill 
against a ghost ? Nobody. Thoy never 
buy hats and witals, nor liker, nor has to 
saw wood nor run arrants as 1 do. Their 
shirts nover gets dirty, nor their trousers 
out at tho knees, as I ever hern tell on.— 
Ghosts is tho only independent people I 
knows on. I raily wish I was one.” 
To dress according to one’s means, to 
wear out old clothes, not to change tho coat 
and hat as frequently as the fashion changes, 
to refrain from too much pleasure riding 
for want of moans to pay, to deny one’s 
self luxuries which may well bo dispensed 
with, to withhold borrowed money from va¬ 
rious objects of charity—in fine to practice 
a decent economy, pay ono’s honest debts, 
and save a small pittance for a rainy day— 
this is meanness, littleness, in tho opinion 
of the fashionable world. 
News-hunters havo great leisure, with 
little thought ; much posty ambition to bo 
though intelligent, without any other pre¬ 
tension than being able to communicate 
what they have just learned. The instruc¬ 
tion and intelligence of fools is but a minuto 
old when it is delivered. 
No ono has more enemies in this world 
than an upright, proud and sensible man, 
disposed to take persons and things for 
what they really are, and not for what they 
are not. 
BROOKING AN INJURY. 
Ike is a boy that resists an injury, and 
“ knowing his rights dares maintain thorn.” 
Iko is an “ insatiable man ” for trouting, 
(how much like great Daniel!) and his moth¬ 
er gave him permission a few days ago, to 
go to a brook a short distance, to indulge in 
his favorite amusement. He had succeed¬ 
ed in enticing a few of the “finny tribe” 
from their cool retreat and planted them in 
a basket which he carried for the purpose, 
and was patiently waiting for another l>ito, 
when an overgrown negro boy camo along 
and wantonly kicked the basket, trout and 
all, into the water, and with them went our 
hero’s hopes of delighting his good old 
mother with a trout supper. But Ike has 
too much of his lamented father’s spirit in 
him not to resent such an insult as this, and 
quick as thought, dodged behind the darkey, 
and chucked him in after them, and put for 
homo with all his speed. 
“Well, Isaac, mv son,” said his mother, 
as he entored the door, “ whero is your bas¬ 
ket ? I hope you haven’t been so naughty 
as to sell it, or lose it ?” 
Iko told tho wholo story in a few words, 
and hard ones, too, as ho spoke of tho dar¬ 
key’s conduct. 
“ Well, well, Isaac,” said tho venerable 
lady, “ did my son brook such an insult as 
that T 
“Don’t know anything about that,an¬ 
swered Ike, “ but 1 brooked the nigger, bet 1 
did !”—Carpet Bag. 
It is shear nonsense for two tailors to turn 
out to fight a duel. —Utica Telegraph. 
Truo, says tho Buffalo Advertiser. Tho 
tailor who would do so must he a goose. If 
he grows tired of life, thero is no occasion 
for him to fight a duel, 
“ When he himself might his quietus make 
With a bare bodkin.” 
Contempt of injury is tho keenest re¬ 
venge.

! CARY’S ROTARY FIRE ENGINE PUMP. 
I rTlIIE Inventor after thoroughly testing his engine pump 
I (for tlie past two years,) feels confident that it is not 
equalled by any thing now in market, in the way of rais¬ 
ing or forcing water—the motion being rotary, the stream 
is constant without the aid of an air vessel. The packing 
is self-adjusting, very durable, and cannot well get out of 
order. 
These pumps are well calculated for all the purposes for 
which pumps or hydrants may he used, viz., Factories, 
Steamboats, Tanneries, Breweries, Distilleries, Railroad 
Water Stations, Hotels, Mines, Garden Engines, &c. The 
highest testimonials will be given.

gine, and will raise from 26 to 30 gallons per minute.
