tions may be performed without pain. Drs.

BY JAMES VONTGOMERY.
He called down Lightning from the Sky,
And e’er the Thunder made reply,
The Flash, like Inspiration, came—
Heaven's own pure fire through all his frame ;
Not the dread bolt, whose sudden stroke
Prostrates the Tower or rends the Oak ;
A touch, a pulse, a spark revealed
A secret from all ages seal’d.
One trembling moiiieiit, in its flight,
Drew such a train ofwondrous light,
That his wrapt spirit seem’d to pierce
The mystery of the Universe :
And scan the power which like a Soul,
Informs, expands, and rules the whole,
God’s bidden minister, whose will
All Nature's Elements fulfil.
There standing, when the deed was done,
That victor of Science won, '
He planted where his foot had trod
His Conquering Spear—the Electric Rod!
A Trophy simple and sublime-—
His monument, defying Time.
That was to him a glorious day,
Whose fame can never pass away;
Philosophy had triumph’d there.
A nobler \Vreath he lived to share;
He lived a brighter day to see-
His Country by the PRESS made free !
MISCELLANY.
NEVER SATISFIED.
Graliam’s Magazine for February, 184-7,
contains one of J. C. Neal’s clever humor-,
ous sketches,entitled “Tribulation Trepid,” lancient and modern learning, and able to
from which we extract the following very—
characteristic portion;
‘Beware how your sympathizing nature:
"the superficial doctrine of a
induces you to accost Tribulation Trepid
in the highway, unless you are proof
going off some of these days, right after;
my grandfather, dying of nothing in par-‘
ticular, but of every thing in general.——'
That's what finishes our folks.
‘But as Tribulation Trepid has now got’
- under way in reference to his bodily health,
it may be as well to suffer him to explain:
himself in the matter of his pecuniary re-,
lotions, which are in quite as bad a condi-;
tion. I
‘ ‘Well, but, Trepid, how do you come
on otherwise? Why don’t you go into
some sort of business and keep a shop 'I’
‘ ‘Keep a shop l——what’s the use of keep-,
ing a shop? Ifl keep a shop, nobody will
ever come into it; and if they did come’
in, they would’nt buy anything. Didn‘t I,
try once, and nobody came, because tlicyé
said I hadn’t enough of an assortment L’
Ketch me !- Why did they not buy what I,
had, instead of trying to coax me to get‘
things, which they would not have bought
after all 1 Me keep 8 shop! Yes, to be sold -,
out by the sheriff—I’m always sold out-—
dou’tI know it beforehand’!
“Apply for a situation did you say’!
Nonsense! Aint they always very sorry—--
if I had only come sooner, or if they had
only know’d of it before——isn’t that always
the answer I Could I ever get anywhere
soon enough, or before somebody efse had
been there, and had gathered up all the
good things that were agoingl Don’t talk
to me about applying for a situation. It's
almost as bad as trotting to get an ofiicc.
Bring your recommendations say they;
and by the time you’ve got your recom-
rriendations, oh, how sorry they" are, for
such a nice man as you, only the place is
filled already.
“I've a great mind never to try to go
anywhere any more, after sittiations—
somebody must sleep there all night; for,
however bright and early lget up of a
morning, there he is: and I might have
had the place ifl had been in time, as if
that was any comfort.
‘ ‘And as for trying to borrow money of
people, which is an easy way of getting a
living as a gentleman could desii'e,if yo'.i’ve
a pretty good run of business in that line,
I never could do much at it, some how or
other. Inever could take the moneyed
people by surprise. They seemed to know
what I wanted as soon as I looked at them,.
and they were always very sorry, l0--€Vt:-
rybody is very sorry to me—but they had
no cash to spare just now, and just now
is all the time when people don’t want to
lend. No-—notbing is to be done in that
line, unless yogi can take them by surprise,
like a steel trap; and I’m not quick enough
for that operation. There’: never anyl
money vi hen l’m coming.
"l.’ll give up—yes, if nobody will leave
me a fortune, and no rich widow will
marry me, I've _a great uiind to give up,
and see what will become of me then. I
suppose something must become of me;
though I hardly believe it will, for nothing
ever become of me yet. But of this I’m
sure, there’: no use of my trying to get
along by myself; and I'll just all down by
the side of life’s turnpike and wait till
something goes travelling by to get me
along-——But I guess I’ll have to wait a good
while; for the place will be occupied-
they’ll be very sorry, to be sure, and they'll
wish they had know’d it in time: but
there's no room left.’ ”
MILTON.
In speaking of the intellectual qualities
of Milton, we may begin by observing,
that the very splendor of his poetic fame
has tended to obscure or conceal the ex-
tent of his mind, and the variety of its
energies and attainments. To many he
seems only a poet, when in truth, be was
a profound scholar, a man of vast compass

;row, and are firmly fixed in the confidence
‘of your own hope; for it seems to afford

ted. The natural philosophy, metaphysics,
ethics, history. theology and politicgfl sci.
ence of his own or former times were fa-
miliar to him. Never was there a more
unconfined mind-; and no one would cite
Milton as ll practical example of the bene-
fits of that universal culture of intellect,
which forms one distinction of our times,
but which some dread as unfriendly to orig-
inal thought. Let such remember, that
mind in its_o\vn nature is diffuse. Its ob-
ject is the universe, which is strictly one,
or bound together by infinite connections
and correspondences; and accordingly,
its natural progress is from one to another
field of thought: and whatever original
power or creative genius exists, the mind,
for from being distracted or oppressed by
the variety of its acquisitions, will see
more and more bearings, and hidden and
beautiful analogies in all the objects of
knowledge, will see a natural light shed
from truth to truth, and will compel, as
with‘a kingly power, whatever it tinder-
stands to yield’ some tribute of proof, or il-
lustration,to wliatevertopic it would unfold.
Taking it L'asy.-—“When a stranger
treats me with want of respect,” said a
philosopher, “I comfor‘; myself with the
reflection that it is out myself he slights,
but my old and shabby coat and old and
shabby list, which, to shy truth, have no
particufar claim to adoration. So if my
hat and coat choose to "fret about it, let
them; but it is nothing to me.”
Anl another “poor philosopher” said;
we suppose; “It is not myself that he
sliglits, but my old illformed body; which,
in truth, I am so near disliking myself
that I shall very soon lay it aside. So if
my body has a mind to freat about-it, let it;
it is nothing to me.”
And still another; “It is not myself that
he sllghts, but some contemptible creature
that lie thinks encased in these clothes,
outer and inner (so Su.r.’or Resartus.) If
the creature lie is thinking of has a mind
to fret about it—it will trouble him more
than me, since the creature exists only in
his brain, and what fietting there is must
go on there. How can’ it concern me,
who am neither such a creature myself,
nor have a mind that creates such?"
We believe the fourth philosopher. who
[came along about this time, advised them
all to aim at such dress and appearance as
to prevent these mistakes, so far as might
be; since the world is *made wiser and
happier by treating its wise men as they
really deserve; and if said wise men fail
to be thus treated in any case through
their own fault, why then--their own fault
it is. He thought that wise men ought to
give whatever modicum of wisdom there
may be in the world a fair chance among
men. Vermont Chronicle.
INCREASE OF POPULATION.
The home missionary thus sums up the
growth of the Vllestern States ;
Ohio welcomed the first permanent set-
tlers in 1788; now is occupied by 1,732,000
people.
Michigan, to which the attention ofem-
igrants was turned twelve or fourteen
years ago, now has 300,000 people.
Indiana, admmitted into the Union in
1816, has received a population of more
than half a million since 1830, and now
numbers more than 900,000 inhabitants.
Illinois was organized a separate terri-
tory iu 1810. and entered the Union as a
State in 1818. From that date, its popu-
lation trebled every 10 years till the last
census, and in the last 5 years has arisen
from 476,000 to 700,000.
Missouri, which in 1810 had only 20,800
people, has now 600,000 having increased
50 per cent. in 5 years.
Iowa, was scarcely heard of at the east
10 years ago ;- it is but 14 years since the
only white inhabitants, north of the Mis-
sonri line, were a few Indian traders.—
More than 100,000 now make that beatiful
land their home—6'0,000 of whom have
gone in during the last four years.
VVisconsin was organized ten years ago;
the marshals have just taken the census, _
and, from present appearances, the popu-
lation will vary but little from 150,000,
being an increase of 100,000 in five years.
One portion of the territory, 33 miles by
30, which ten years ago, was an unbroken
wilderness, new numbers 30,000 inhabit-
ants; and the emigration to that portion
of the west is greater than ever. _
The seven new State: and Territories
above enumcrated—to say nothing of the
other western and south western States
and Texas-—have increaed since the last
. method to inform those mdebted chill, and has hardihood to sport itself an-I fastidiousness, which disdains all otherggdjustnientof the ratio, more than a million
