THE BETTER WOKLIK There ; a land wheie death casts not bis shade? A land where gold-eyed flower* no'er fall ask op; Where o'er Lila'" lyre, no more by Tune's hand played, Cud's living music like n (awn doth lonp. ** There is a land where souls responsive meet, Where, shoou'eas, the tired pilgrim flndeth rest, Whers lie reposes, lost in reveries sweet, With his head pillowed ou an angel's breast. There is a holy land, beyond the stars, By Jesus:' smiles illumined, by seraphs w*fidcd, Winch men may reach wh'ti till. life's pasuiotis' wars 'Twecn lofty spir it and low dust arc ended. I've dreamed of this bright land; and when I tvoke I sorrowed that it oi,ly was a dream? Alii when the love-links of life's chain are broke, Man U less earth-bound than the many deem. When the last dove hath loft our wave lashed ark, And cometh back again to us no more, Wo yonrn to drift luore tleety o'er the dark Waste of wild waters to the Heavenly shore. Tito green spots in tlw de-ser!s of this life Are few and far between; and bitter tears I'Yoni proud eyes fall, unnoticed, hnid the strife Mau wages with the unoouijucrablc years. Heads wreathed with laurels, or bright diadeins, May aciio with hearts in all save furrow poor; Hearts rich to-day in joy's most precious gem-, May stand, to-morrow, beggars at love's door. The folded wing may hide a wound that bleeds, A careless smile conceal a cruel care? Yea, God's eye only, undeceived, ret..Is The secret records of a proud despair. ItOWIiTS 1\I> SKIRTS.

Below wo give one of l'hoenix's Own ? a burlesque on popular school examinations: The exhibition of ibis admirable seminary of learning, so long under the control of that celebrated teacher, Adolphus Flatbroke, Esq., took place on Tuesday, to the infinite satisfaction of all those who witnessed it. This school nutnl ers thirty soven pupils, who assemble in tho rear of a coal3 aril in the alley, where they enjoy the grateful shade of sevetal hundred feet of lumber, which, projecting over the fence, forms tho covering to the school house ? a small, ill arranged, and uncomfortable re.-;oi t. Every available place was occupied bv the friends of the scholars and tho police, and many were obliged to leave, unable to obtain a view of the proceedings. Tho fence on the opposite side of the alloy was tastefully decorated with festoons of old clothing and worn out gunny bag-, a latgo dead cat formed the centre piece, above which was inscribed, in chalk, the simple motto, "Let her Hip." lite order of exercise was as follows: 1. Throwing Stones?by William Barker and Joseph Johnson, commonly called "SnutUo-nose Joe." Tho lluowing exhibited givut skill and precision?the result, undoubtedly, of long practice?and a shot of young Barker's, that knocked out three panes of plats fiorn an old autl unoccupied house, which stood some throe roJs oil, eliriie?l .loud and couiiuucd applause from the a alienee. 2. The Precocious Swoatcr?in which MiWter Albert Wiggins (Swearing Al) exhibited the greatest skill and ingenuity in the use of profane language, inventing on j tlie spot several original and peculiarly refreshing oaths, and closing with an inter esliwg trial ot skill between the young gen llt-man and his sister, Miss Henrietta Maria Wiggins, .(Draggle tail Kelly,) in which it was difficult to decide which cutsed the hardest. S. Throwing Mud?by the entire school. This was a highly e.xhiliaialing perform a ace, -but an old gentleman, with bald head and green spectacles, (who sat by our side on a pile of coal,) remarked, when a large plaster foil on the lop of liis head, "perhaps a little too exciting to bo pleasant." 4.

A surprise for the gifted instructor followed, w hich was got tiD and exocnioil will. admirable effect. Being called on to appear, Mr. Klnlbroko camefoiward with cm La crashed looks, and diffidently bowed to (lie audience, evidently expecting thai ho was about to receive a tin cup with a suita ble inscription. Judge of his happy surprise, when the school arose, each member placing his thumb to his nose, and wriggling the fingers, shouted in admirable concert, "oh, don't you wish you may gel it?'' Mr. Flalbroko, placing his hand on his heart, bowed gracefully, and was about to express bis feelings in a neat speech, when the proprietor of the adjacent coal yard, alarmed at the tumultuous conduct and up j loarous shouts of tho school, caino forward and with a few well directed bricks adjourned the meeting.

Did you go a shopping) 1 suppose not* Gentlemen have no genius for shopping, They are not equal to it. Nature has left j their faculties imperfect in that particular. They can write books and make speeches, and all that suit of thing, but they are not , up to shopping. It takes the ladies for 1 that. Men go to a stoie and select what i they want and buy it. l?ut that is not j shopping?that requires no genius. Meu pretend they don't ltko to go shop- ' ping with the ladies. I wonder who ! ever asked them) What lady would have 1 such an enciumbranco on such occasions) Men are well enough in their places. Young gentlemen are convenient to take us to concerts, and see us homo from church, and biing us bouquets and music; and husbands are useful, 1 suppose, to pav bills, ?fcc., but for shopping excursions they are quite out of place. Do not understand mo to insinuate that j ! have any distinguished ability that way. I Not at all ? I only speak for mv sex. In j fact, I acknowledge that 1 am regarded by my lady acquaintances as a poor hand at j it. 1 tut my fiicnd Sallie /.. is a model shopper. I am taking lessons of her, and hope to be perfected by I lie time I am mar- j ried. A few days situ-) she invited mo with her. "I wish to look at the new style silk*," said she. "W'hv, do you want a dress!" said I. ?? ?:r:. ............ : - /? : lilo, 1 should sav you were a verdant. I , don't want a dress?but there's no reason I ' shouldn't seo the materials." So Sallio and I sallied out. The first store we entered, she asked whether the I merchant had leccived his spring goods. \ He said lie had, and imjuired what she I would like to see. ''Show n;e your new I style dress goods," said she; "such as barege robes and lawn robes, handsome striped j and plaid silks. Brocades and changeable : silks are not much w orn this spring, but I'll | j look at your solid colors." The merchant soon had his counter spread with goods. She examined and tossed the pieces about, making various ugly creases iu them to see whether they would come out again by tubbing. "What style is worn?" said Sallie. "Well, we soil probably more plaids and sir j-es than any otla r." "Have you any with the cheno stupe!" ; "< ?h, yes, some very line," and a \aiicty 1 of p eers woie produced. "Well, I em't say, after all, that 1 like tie* cheiie Stripe; it looks like the old st\lc revived. L picfer the plaid-; the green i.very pretty." So Sallie held it in vaiiou- lights, nibbing and creasing it. "Well, it don't en- a-e I much," said she; "1 wonder whether it will cutr "No, it is boiled silk, and we fuel the plaids and stiij.es usually wear well." I "Your silks are .(iiito pretty, and you may cut mo oft samples," continued Sallie. This the merchant was forced to do, though with rather a had grace, a- moat of his goods were in patterns, and lie feaied ! spoiling the piece. "\N ill von ln? kinil .nun. !> t.> ?>!?.. ....

This was haiuh'd her; she paid five cents, I 1 and we left. I looked at my watch. We 1 had keen there exactly a lull hour, i "What a cheat! I ran hay these spool* 1 for foili cents," *aid Sallie, when we were fairly out, "and besides, wo forgot their 1 I sl.awM" | So we went to another More. "Have y >u any Stella shawl-.'" "Yes, some beautiful ottesjuM ? p t.? d. Would you see the broche bordei* or the ' i pi intcd?" | "Hot!,." "Any particular colors!" "No?I'il look at all of them, said Sallio. ; 1 Ififfercnf colors, qualities, and patterns, I I were accordingly produced.

Some printed borders we can put at four dollars and fifty cents." "No; I prefer broche; but can't you take less?" I saw a twinkle in the merchant's eye which made mo think ho knew she w as only shopping. j ' "Now," said lie, "if you won't mention it, I'll let you have it for six." Sallie looked surprised. sho knew that |1 style of article was selling at nine. . "Six dollars ?is that your lowest?" W ell ? to oblige you, t'll say four." A pause. "Then you think that four 1 dollar* is \our veiv lowest}" "Aiietn! Wo have a large lot, and I I want to dispose of them. I'll say two < : dollars and fifty cents!" ' Still longer pause. "Are you sure it is J a first rate piece of goojs?" I "I'll tv.irr.-iiil i? ?fi MIL- o..l I My friend was caught. Turning to me < she whispeied: < "I do wish I had brought some money!" ; and then, addressing tiie merchant, she I Raid: I'll call again." I I never was so glad to get out of a store r r? o before, for the cloiks had ga'.lu rod around ; us, teeming to undcrstan 1 tho joke. Hut i SalJio went home, got the money, and in- i sisted on my returning with Iter (othestoro < for tho shawl.

We i went shopping no more that afternoon. ; < Voltaire and I'iron woro mortal euemios, ' and to their great embarrassment they met ^ one day at tho country house of a mutual I friend.

Fur various reasons we should prefer direct negotiations 1 between England and the United States to ' ** arbitration. Independent nations are rather " reluctant to submit to arbitral decisions !j,1 when judgment is given against them, and ' pleas are easily devised for evading a refer- ul once to arbitration. If Mr. Dallas and Lord a Clarendon would meet each other in the same spirit that animated Lord Ashbnrton ' and Mr. Webster when they in t to settle V the Northeastern Boundary question, the ' points proposed to be referred to arbitration ' might satisfactorily bo disposed of at otto or 1 two meetings. Tho fact i?, that the only ono of these a questions that admits of n serious discussion | V is that which relates to tho boundary of our British settlement at Belize. The Bay Islands arc beyond a dotibt part of the rc- 1' public of J loud tiros, uud the Knylish occu ^ jxition of them is anaet of usurjiation. Tito Mosquiliuti l'rotectoiate is a farce. Tho so called King of Mosqttilia is merely the half savage chief of ouo of tho native tribes ^ thinly scattered along th? coast between the '' frontiers of llondtua. and Costa Kica. By J the public law of all the colonizing Bowers j of Kuropo and America ho and his people ' stand in tho same relation to tho govern- ,l tnent which can establish a claim to tho territory they occupy as tho Indians in the United States do io tho Government at V Washington, or the Maori of New Zealand ^ to our own Government. Great Britain I .* claims no territorial rights in Mosquitia, and j' one or other of the Spanish topublics there has inherited it as successor to old Spain. * The equitable settlement of these mooted w points would bo best effected by a declaratory treaty, in which it was agreed: That a j (j joint commission should bo appointed to v run the boundary line between tho British ], settlement of Belize and the Kepublic of Honduras; that Great Britain should re- \ store the Buv Islands to 111 ?
