ORIGINAL POETRY.

Written for the Danvers Eagle. TO A BEAUTIFUL LADY. A strange wild beauty veils thy face! A witching smile is thine; And in thy movements, perfect grace With dignity combine. Thy beauty is so rare and sweet, I would that we as friends could meet.

Thine eyes are brilliant, dark and deep, Thy brow is polished high; A glow of joy is on thy cheek, Thy lips with rubies vie. Thy.lily hands and fairy feet Make Nature's lavish dress complete.

And thon art pure and free from guile As mortal e'er may be; If in thine eye and sunny smile Thy hidden heart I see. May Friendship's flowers round thee bloom, And happy make thine earthly home. Sept. 6, 1844. A. P. S. P.

[ Selected aud revised, for the Eagle.] THE DIFFERENCE. I knew two friends, as much alike. As e'er you saw two stumps; And no phrenologist could find A difference in their bumps.

One took the "Eagle, " and his life % Was happier than a king's; His children all could read and write, And talk of men and things.

The other took no "Eagle," and . While strolling through the wood, A tree fell down upon his crown, And killed him -- as it should.

Had he been reading of the news, At,home like neighbor Jim, I'll bet a cent the accident Would not have happened him.

HOME. Considered in relation to its moral influence. BY REV. THEODORE PARKER. "God Seeth the solitary in Families. ". Pslams LXVIII. 7. (CONCLUDED.)

Most men are one-sided; a man's business, if sedulously and exclusively pursued, as it often is, fashions the man follies have blinded our eyes; but their virtues, enhanced after itself; makes him in its image, This man is all mus- by our affection, shine, to our sight, as a ('olussus of Pa- cle, and that all cunning. Here is one who knows all a- bout the railroads in New England, but has no more per- ception of what is right and true, than the railroads them- selves; his conscience dead as iron. That man has clap- boards and wainscoting in his very look. You know by the other man's step, that he has fat oxen in his stall .- Here is a man who is a bill, payable at sight, in the human

bending of the mind, the concern for our children, the in- a good home, on man and child. They have their dreams tercourse with our friends-all these have a tendency to of ambition, of wealth, or finery and display, or sloth, and arrest this one-sidedness, to give a serious and healthful intemperate indulgence oflow appetites, and so they will growth to qualities which our daily calling does not exer- cise.

care little about the moral influence of Home. I would exhort sach to pause a moment, and ask if it be not the

duty of each child of God to aim at surrounding himself In the ancient statues of the gods, such as Jupiter and Apollo, for example, there is great breadth of character. with such influences as shall help subdue what is rebellious You do not see one particular trait made prominent, there in him, and make him a man in the image of God, able to is a general developement of all human qualities, with only do right, think right, feel right! Who shall say no? a slight emphasis given to any special trait, to mark the stations of each, yet the individuality of each is well pre- served. In statues of men, ancient or modern, as in men themselves, almost every one has a great particular de . velopement, and little of the general qualities of a man, an intense narrowness has taken place of the divine breadth in the statues of the gods. Thus Socrates is all thought; Washington, all command; Napoleon looks Moscow -- Ex- peditious, and Blucher is a type of his watchword-'for- wards,' Now the influence of home, if made as it should

I know to some men, perhaps to some women, it will seem a very little thing to attempt to surround their chil- dren with the means of moral and religious education .- They give them bread and clothes; perhaps water, air and exercise. They train them up in habits of, economy and diligent thritt; they send them to a school where their intellectual culture is somewhat looked after. That is well. But is that all? all that is to be done for training and de- veloping the innocent immortal, whose destinies are, in some measure, confided to your care?, Yet what a power be, arrests this evil. Its human, or generalising power the subtle magic of Home exerts over a child! You see may be seen in the character of woman, on whom most of its cares, duties and pleasures too+ as things now are- seem to devolve, as her sphere is home. You find in wo- man much more of this general expansion, and much less of this specialness of ability, this one-sidedness of culture. Hence comes the popular reproach, 'Most women have no characters at all,' which is true, if by character is meant a

some bad man, not fearing God, not regarding man; sac- rificing man and woman to his momentary caprice or set- tled passion .- You wonder whence came that awful disre- gard of right, that abandonment of what is good and true, You trace him back, through manhood, youth, childhood, how often do you find the seeds of his character sown in his home; his spirit poisoned in his parents' arms. "The disproportionate growth of one single quality of mind; but child is father of the man;'-alas, then, for bim who caus- utterly false if it mean, a certain individuality, attended es 'one of these little ones to offend.' with a uniform expansion of many qualities of mind. Als most every -man can understand one thing surprisingly well; besides that he knows little, cares for little, and ob- stinately refuses to listen or to look beyond it. With wo-

You see some great exemplar of a man-moving in af- fairs of State, or life's common business-erect as a ,palm tree, amid all the mistrust of friend's, the hostility of foes, keeping the even way of justice, hating none, and scorn- men it is often just the reverse; they may know little of ing none, superior to fortune, equal to duty, ready alike for either fate to succeed or fail, You wonder whence came that exquisite manliness, which conquered every foe, or died with equal triumph, invincible of wrong! You penetrate the cloud which bides it all; you trace him back to the green home of his childhood, and you find a father's example sustained him in his trials, and mid all the storms of time, he looks back to the mild presence of his Home, and the remembrance of his mother's picty, her trust in God, the very echo of her prayer in childhood poured up- on his mind, comes through all the trouble about him, as any one thing: but will understand immediately, many things out of the reach of men whose special culture is far superior to theirs. Hence a new thing is, in general,sure of a more candid examination from woman than men; hence the great moral enterprises of this day, so often find favor with women, when they are mocked at by men whom busi- ness trains to look only at the profitable side of old abuses. Hence, too, when the Son of man revealed his glad tidings of great joy. while Priest, and Pharisee refused to listen; the word of life found a welcome and a home in the less prejudiced heart of woman, whose mind the domestic sym- the Vesper bell in southern clines, comes gently swelling pathies had nourished and enlarged.

o'er the deep, whereat the wearied boatman drops his oar, and folds his hands, and lifts his soul to God.

Such is the influence of Home on adult men; on chil- dren it is greater still; that of a bad home worse, of a good one better. They have not, in either case. the same pow- er, or the same circumstances wherewith to resist its set- tled and continuous action. A child, born and bred in a home where father and mother are high-minded, pure, no- ble, religious; where all the environment of its tend: r year's is that of Holiness and Love; where association with the impure, the low, the selfish, the cunning and the gross, does not sully his innocent mind, where he hears Religion in precept and sees it in practice; where the rela- tion of his parents to one another is that of mutual confi- dence and mutual love; where the relation of both to him is that of tender solicitude, of a wise carefulness to render him good and true; where all that is heard and all that is seen, invites him to the real duties and the real satisfac- tion of life-how can such a child become corrupt? What shall forbid him to grow up a man, his mind active, his heart rich with goodness, and the sentiments and princi- ples of Religion, exhibited before his sight and beautified to his eyes through early association, to become the habit- ual principles and sentiments of his daily life? The prin- ciples and practices of Home-we carry them with us, knowingly, or unconscious, through our life. Our Father's

The power of home is subtle, not easily escaped; it fol- lows us everywhere. A happy Home, where good sense, and good manners, and good feelings, have their place; where Benevolence dwells forever; where Religion hal- lows and pacifies and blesses each, with a sweet winsome- ness all its own-such a home, why it is Heaven upon the Earth. Let a man ask the greatest of outward blessings -he will ask this. All cannot be rich. Beautiful things But what is to please the eye, as affairs go, must hang on few men's walls, purchased with years of toil, costly oracles that speak deep things to deep-thoughted men. better far than all the refinements of wealth, better than all the treasures of art-a happy Home-cannot the poor- est man have that? The lowliest roof, and the narrowest walls, are high enough and wide enough for that. But it does not come by chance, through wisdom is a house builded.' Such a house is not established by few rash efforts, as some men 'make a fortune.' The form of your Home comes out of the character of such as dwell there. It cannot help coming from such a source.

Yet how little pains are taken to build up a pleasant, a religious home! Men resolve to be rich, to be celebrated, to rule the affairs of the nation, or the village that, the ambition of the 'great' man, this, of the little man." How few make resolutions to create a happy Home with what means they have, getting more as they get on Foolish man, who take superfluous trouble to crowd your house with food and furniture, the work of looms and shops; so little pains to enrich it with ideas, with goodness, patience, holiness and peace. He who seeks the true good, seeks this, and seeking shall he not find? We look on the world, its social evils, its sins, its sufferings, we would help our brothers come up to the estate of man. To you and me, it is not given to reach many; yet this is clearly in our

rian marble, heightened and embellished by the light of the rising sun. We at first unconsciously repeat the prac- tices of our parents; at length they are habits, fixed and fastened upon us, to be shaken off only with vehement ef- forts.

Our subserip- tion list is rapidly on the increase; and we trust, that ere long we may have a list such as will give it a wide spread circulation.

CELEBRATIONS.

What a time for Celebrations, Trainings, Mass Meet- ings, Clam Bakes, Pic Nics, and the like, we have had during the past week.

The Whig Mass Meeting was holden at Lynn on Wed- nesday last, where from 10,000 to 15,000 people assem- bled, according to the Whig papers.

Oh Thursday, the Danvers Light Infantry, and the Sa- Tem Mechanic Light Infantry, started off on a tour of camp Boty- the former to Lynnfield the latter through Lynnfield to Reading.

Same day, the Society called the I. O. of Rechabites, of Salem, (one of the best Societies of which we have any knowledge, ) bad a celebration in North Fields, where they partook of an excellent collation and dinner. They num- bered about 300, and made an attractive appearance.

Same day, a new Division of the "Sons of Temperance" was formed at North Danvers. Success and prosperity attend them. Of such Societies there cannot be too many

On Friday, the Clam Bake came off at Lynn, where were assembled, according to the Democratic papers 25000 Democrats.

Same day, the D. L. Infantry returned from their cam- paign, and were handsomely received by the past mem- bers. Their appearance as soldiers has been greatly im- proved, and their former good reputation is fully sus- tained.

On Thursday and Friday "The Ladies Fair" (Unitari- an) was holden at Mechanic Hall, Salem. This was a grand and successful attempt at something which has nev- er before been attempted in the "Fair" line, in Salem .- They realised from the sales nearly $4000! Much good may it be the means of doing. We understand they have given to Charitable Societies the articles which remained unsold.

LEARN TO THINK FOR YOURSELF.

This is the great end of education. The idea is too ual is educated when a certain number of Languages are acquired-the Sciences understood-together with some general reading. Nothing is farther from the truth. A person may study the works of others for a century, should he live so long, and that merely, will but convert his mind into a machine. True it will aid him, but he must learn to exercise his mind on his "own hook," distinct from the path of others, if he would be any use to the world. To this independence and self-reliance we are indebted for all the vast stores of knowledge and truth now in the possession of the world. What would Newton and Locke, and Brown have accomplished, had they only sat down to the investigations of others, and followed the routine of their minds? Nothing! It was the shutting up all books, and putting to work their own powers, in their own way, that led them to the great truths they discovered.

The human mind has within itself, originally, and inhe- rently, resources and faculties to a much greater extent than is usually known or acceded to, and when greatly and firmly resolved, there is nothing too great or difficult for its all-creating powers to attain.

The popular error is too much reliance in others, and the want of confidence in one's self. Reading too much and thinking too little. Dr. Johnson, who could perhaps bring more mind to all subjects than any other man of his through in his life. The great fault of Colleges and Insti- tutions of learning is in not putting the learner on his own degs-letting him rely on himself-"take the responsibili-

decide," is an excellent saying.

NEW YORK ..... NOTES OF A TOURIST .. (CONCLUDED.)

Arrived at the sumit about dark. A fine Hotel has been erected here, 'on the brow of a rock, at an elevation of a- bout 3000 feet above the Hudson.

and their softy sumits seem to hohl converse with the sky. About one mile and a half from this place, are Kaaterskill Falls, Here the outlets of two small lakes leap down u perpendicular fall of about 180 feet, then passes through a channel worn in the rock to a second fall on another rock which projects 80 feet from the embankment, Having se-

cured a guide, we passed down to the foot of the falls, then' passed under this projection. of rock between the embank- ment and the falls. Here the waters may be seen aplush- ing aud foaming, till it is lost in the dark ravine, through which it finds its way to the valley of the Catskill. The mountains here also abound in ahnost every kind of Game, | which makes it a favorite resort for sportsmen, in the-stim- mer months. In this vicinity there are also mountain peaks of a still gocater elevation, and fulls of water of a wild and romantic character.
