Ask her if. when storms are long, She can sing a cheerful son When the rude winds rock the tree. Irshe'll closer cling to thee, Then the blasts that sweep the sky Unappalld siiall pass thee by, Tho' thy cirtnin'd chamber show Siftings of untimely snow, Warm and glad thy heart shall be, Love shall make it Spring for thee L. II. S. Hartford, Conn., Jan. 25, 1839. Miscellaneous. From the Globe. MADAME AMERICA VESPUCCI. This lady, it is well known, presented a petition to Congress, asking two things first, to be admitted to the rights of ciizon ship in the United States, and, secondly, to be given a "corner of land" out of the pub lic domain of the country which hears the name of 'ier ancestor. The committees to whom her petition was referred, report ed agaiust both applications,but on grounds in no way personal to the petitioner. The citizenship could not be granted, because, under the Constitution of the U States, Congress, can only make general and u niform rules of naturalization, applicable to all persons alike, and not to any one in particular. The "corner ofland" could not be granted, because there was no personal service from the petitioner, for which it could be a compensation. In reporting against her applicationthe Committee on Public Lands .lid ample justice to the personal chara'ler of Mind ame Vespucci, her intellectual and moral qualities, her liberal principles, and her descent from the celebrated Americus Ves puccius; and recommended her to the A merican people, for that asylum and es tablishment which it was out of the power of Congress to grant. The following are extracts from the report : "A descendant of Americus is now here; a young, interesting, dignified and accom plished ady, with a mind of the highest, iellectual culture, and a heart beating with all our own euthusiasm in the cause of Americatn and of human liberty. She feels that the name she hears is a prouder title than earthly monarchs can bestow, and she comes hero asking of us a small corner of American soil,where she may pass the remainder of her days in this the land of her adoption. She conmes here as an exile, separated forever from her friends and family, a stranger, without a country and without a home, expelled from her naltive, Italy for the avowal and mainhe - ntance of opinions favorable to free institu tions, and an ardent desire for the es tablishment of her country's freedom. That she is indeed worthy of the name of America-that her heart is indeed imbued 'with American principles anid a fervent love of human liberty, is proved in her case, by toils, and perils, and sacrifices, worthy of tho prondest (lays of antiquity, when the Roman and Spartan matront were ever ready to surrender life itself in their country's service." * nImmediately after the rep~ort was read ithe Senate, a national suibscriptiotn wvas commenced for the henefit of Madame Vespucci,- to be applied towvards proctring .her a home and support in the U. States. Senators from every quarter of the Union -subscribed. The amount was received by Mr. Hlaight. the Sergeant-at-arias of the Senate, atnd preseted to her. Many oth em placed in the hands ofME Haight other sumsoto be .presented to her;, among whom -we tiauve heard the itames of the Judges of the Supreme Court, several members of the llouse of Representatives, and some c itizens, ..This is Lhe commencement of the national subscription -recommended by the report oft he committee on PublicLands, *&wvhich,we presume,is now open to all cit izens who, in the language of the report, nity7 wish to aid in -procuring that home *whiclh Madame Vespucci desires ainongst us, and which Congress could not grant. Frowthie knickerborker. MY MOTHERt'S GRAVE. I.remember vividly -the dir'tiumssteces of her departure. Consumption had al ready done its. powerful work. Unlike neatty who are amitten with this disease, she preferred to diemi the bosom of her family. Why should the stag, pierced to th?e beart in its own thicket, sleek refuge. iin the deeper glades, to bleed todeath? It is a wrong idea, this, of searching in a land of strangers for health which is 'cleah gone forever.' how many are thus year ly cut down in their wanderings? In some desolate chamber, they lie in the agothies of death. N'o soft hand presses their brow; -no familiar voice whispers in ebn ear: no cherished friend performs their funoral obsequies. Death is indeed bitter under such circumstances, being without its usual alleviations. - It is a sweet con solation to die at home: 'On some fond breast the parting soul relies, Some pious drops the closing eye requires; Even from the tomb the voice of nature cries, Even in our ashes live their wonted fires.' There is something dreadful yet beauti ful in consumption. It comes stealing on so softly and] so silently. It comes, too, in the garb of mockery and deception, and clothes its victim in beautiful garments for the grave. The hectic flush, the snowy brow, the brilliant eye; who could believe that these %%ere death's precursors. the sig net of the conqueror! It invests The pa tient with a preternatural patience and sweetness under suffiering,keeping alive at the same time, in her breast the illusion of hope. Even in her moments of extreme sulkring, she looks forward to days of re turning happiness ; and while the worni is forever preying at the core, and her slender form becomes each (lay more fee ble and attenuate, she hails before her a gilded prospect, and the mind and spirits are buoyant with the thought. But when the final struggle has at last cornneced, how sublime is the spectacle! To behold the immortal mind so calm, so tranquil and so triumphatt; waxing brighter and brighter, while the tenement which con tains it is but a poor fleshless skeleton; to behold the eye beaming with undiminish ed lustre toward the objects of its affection, untii the soul at last bursting the charnel vault which has too long confined it, takes one triumphant bound. Then is the bodly still and silent. The feather is unruiflied by the breath, and the glass retains its pol ish; for dust has returned to dust again, and the spirit unto God who gave it. It was a tempestuous night. The rain poured down in torrents, The lighttning gleamed luridly. At midnight I entered the apatnent. A solitary taper gleamed dismally on the hearth. The lorms of those in the rooms appeared like gloomy shadows, flitting to and fro. A stifled sob and the ticking of a watch on the table were the only sounds; and they struck like a bearded arrow to my heart. I observed her hand beckoning. 'Her head was rais ed with pillows,a smile shot from her gla zing eye. She essayed to speak. I bent down my head with eagerness, to catch the last whisperings of her voice. There was a pause. She made signal to those about her to repress their emotions.as they valued her last legacy. The sobs ceased, the groans were scarcely audible, and the tears stood still upon the cheek of the mourner. 'Ah! that is kind,' she began in a voice as soft as music. Nature iust have her course. The fountains of grief were too full. They burst the barriers which prudence would have fain erected, and poured fourth in a torrent, sweeping all before them. A cry, long, loud, and piercing, filled the apartment. She cast back a look of sorrowful reproach. She arose in the couch. A paroxysm of coughing seized her. She writhed for a moment in convulsive agonies, and then fell back' upon the pillow. A gleam of lightuing, bright, dazzliag, appalling, shot through the casement. She was DEAD! *Let us pray,' exclaimed the reverend pas tor; and with one accord the assembly knell. while, at the noon of night, he of fered up a fervent prayer. It was short, but clothed in the poetic language of the scriptures. It spoke of the silver cord be ing loosed, and the golden bowl being broken. It was finished, We arose from our knees, cast one look at the emaniated form of the departed, and left the apart ment. Fzasr DISCovE~RY or AMrEatcA.-The Boston Mercantile Journal gives at summa ry of Mr. S'nmh's Lecture on the claims of the Northmen. The following extract will be read with interest, as it intimates the evidence on the subject. Mr. S. commenced by alluding to pre-I judices which all men naturally feel, in favor of the truth of that which they have been taught as true from their earliest in fancy. This is applicable to the case of Columbus's alleged disco very of A merica in 1492. The truth of this, as the first discovery of America, has been so long and generally received, that it requires strong evidence to show that the credit of first discoverer does not belong to htitm. Mr. S. proceeded fostate, however, that, although it may have been generally unknowtn that this country had been visited by Europe ans before the time of Columbus, thme fact had tnot been unknown to those wvho had paid closer at tention to the subject. He mentioned three separate works (and, sta ted that many othters exist) which have been published upwards of a century, in Europe, in whtich the facts hauve been mentioned. One oft hese was pritnted at the Unaiversityof Oxford itn .171(j, so that the accoutnt of these early discoveries is no' new fangled theory as has-been represen ted by sumec. Thle words of Adam. of Bretmen, who lived and wrote in the 1ith century and whose work (published in 1629) is well known,were quoted by Mr. S. in wbich this country. its situation and poduce, are distinctly mentioned and the Danes or Northmen referred to as au thorities. Mr. S, then alluded to the doe utnmnts on this subject which have recent ly been published by the Royal Society of Northern Anat iquarians at Copenhagen. Hie showed the ignorance of the actual contents of these documents existing even among.those who profess to have examin ed them. stating-the fact of an -individual of considerable eminence -in the literary wvorld, having, asserted that ihe Northmnen were accidentally driven to these coasts at some time between the years 1000 and 1021, whereas they clearly show that these coasts were first visited in the year 966, and continued to be visited, not accidental ly, hut for the express purpose of explora-' tion and commerce from that date during a period of nearly 100 years-that dwel lings were erectedl here--stays of some years- at diff'erent times made here-and in all probability, more permanent colo nies established, while the birth of one int dividual (in the present State of Rhode Island) particularized, whose descendants are at this day ina4xistence, among whom the well known sculptor, Thorwald-sen is one. Mr. S, alluded to the character of documents which establish the fact of these early discoveries._ Theare of.. t.r k..s1.in -firsi, manuscriptsof an age not long sub sequent to the first alleged visit of the Northmen, and of whose authenticity there can be no doub; many of these are antece dent in date to the later recorded visits of the Northmen. Second, monuments re maining in the countries thus visited, and which were the handiwork of the North men themselves. Mr. S. proceeded to give an outline of the narratives contained in these ancient manuscripts, which, as those narratives (being published only in the original Norse dialect, with Danish and Latin transla tiona,) must be inaccessible to the great majority of those interested in the subject, was peculiarly interesting. It would be impossible to give even an abstract of these details. It must suffice to say that this country was first seen by Biarne Heriulf son, in 986, and it was subsequently visi ted for the express purpose of exploration, by Leif and Thorwald, the sons of Eric the Red, who had a few years previous discovered and settled in Greenland. In 1007, Thornfinn Karlserue left Greenland with 160 companions, (nine of whom, how ever, soon returned wit b the express de sign of forming a setiletent in ihiscountry bringing with themt all kinds of live stock for the purpose.-Though we are informed of the return to Iceland of Thornfinn and sonic of his companions, (not, however, until after a residence here of upwards of three years,) yet no account is given of the return of the remainder; and it is prob able that they formed a prominent settle ment here, since an accour.t is ieven, in other documetits, or the visit to this coun try, called by the Northmen, Vinland, of Dishop Eric, in 1121. which could hardly have been made with any other purpose thai that of perforning Episcopal offices here. Vinland, to which all these accounts re fer, was the present Neo England. The southern part of this couturv was likewise visited by the Northern traders, and it -p years that a constant intercourse was kept up betwen that part anil Ireland. for a long period. It was called Huilramanrna land (White Mau's land.) or Great Ireland, hecause the inhabitants were Whites and supposed by the Northmen to be of Irish origin. State of* S0iltil Car0Uilna.
