(FOR TIIE BANNEIt.) TO MISS J. A. " I saw her but a moment, yet Me thinks I see her now, So bright was that expression? So fair that an^el brow ! Ilcr wary curls were floating down, III loveliness and light? And every look was eloquent, And beautiful and bright. 'Twas but an instant that 1 gazed, Knraptured on that face, But yet, eternity would fail Its image to erase. I grieve not that I saw her, Though her smiles arc not for me ; Though her heart may be another's? In dreams 'twill beat for me. Oh ! that life's barque forever, In one unwaking dream, Could bear us two together, Adown Time's crystal stream. " I saw her but a moment, yet Me thinks I see her now," So bright was that expression? So lair that angel brow! " Musa Ben Abel Gazan." ^??? ^ The Puess in tjme of War.?Nothing-, perhaps, could more fully evince the usefullness, efficiency, and great power of the press, than the late events which have transpired between this country and Mexico. Sec how it has sounded the alarm of danger throughout the length and breadth of the land, how, it has aroused the people?and how, at the same time, it has given information of the invading foe, and pointed out the means of defence. The noise of the enemy's cannon does not escape, before it is caught up, and conveyed upon the wings of lightning to the remotest corners of our country. The blood of our soldiers has not dried up the soil, before the press has summoned their brothers to march forth to avenge the insult; and the enemy have not time to plan a manoeuvre, before it is made known all over the country, and thus frustrated in its inception. Such is the power of the press in time of war. Like the cannon, it does not strike unto death, but it sounds its voice of thunder, and the people every where are animated to battle. Nothing in modern times has done more for the improvement of war. It goes before our armies, inciting them to high, to noble, and to generous daring, and comes back with them in their victories, crowning them u J i wini cm nvjiiui ana j^iory which 11 cnerishes immortally. Success to the armies which go forth to fight oar battles. Honor to the press that embalms their glorious actions, for the admiration of posterity.?South Carolinian. Danger of Ice Cream.?The editor of a Portland paper has had a visit from a Vermonter, named Ethan Spike, who described his first and last experiment on ice cream as follows: " One day towards sundown, I was goin' by a shop in Middle street that looked wonderful slick: there was all manner of candy and josamintsan' whatnots at the winder; an'then there was signs with gold letters on to 'em hangin' round the door, tellin' how they sold soda, mead an' ice cream there. 1 sez tew myself,?I've heern a good deal tell about this here ice cream, an' now if I won't see what they are made of. So I put my hands in tew rny pockets, and walked in kinder careless and sez tew a chap standiri' behind the counter,?'Do irAll IrriOrx nn*? ' jw* u.iiy icu ticuin nere i" " Yes, sir," sez he," how much'll you have?" li I considered a ininnit on't, an* sez I, ?' a pint, sir." " The young feller's face swelled out, an' he liked tew larfed right out; but arter a while he asked,? Did you say a pint, sir?" c; Sartin'," says I, " but p'raps you don't retail, so I don't mind takin' a quart." " Wal, don't you think, the feller snorted rile out. Tell yer what, it made me feel sorter pison, and I gin him a look that made him look sober in 'bout a minnit; an' when I clinched my fist an' looked so at him," [here Mr. Spike favored us with a most diabolical expression of countenancej " he hauled in his horns about the quickest, an' handed me ^ a quart of the stuff as perlite as couiu De. w al, 1 tasted a mouth full of it an' found it as cool as the north side of Bethel Hill in Jennewary. I'd half a mind tew spit it out, but jest then 1 seen the confectionary chap gririnin' behind the door, which riz my spunk Gall smash it all, thinks I, I'll not let that white livered monkey think I'm afeared; I'll eat the darned stuff if it freezes my in'ards. I tell yer what, I'd rather skin'd a bear, or whipped a wild cat, but I went it: I eat the hull in about a mmnit. Wall, in about a quarter of an hour I j begun to feel kinder gripy about here," 1 I continued Ethan, pointing to the lower v part of his stomach, ' an1 kept on feelin' s no better very fast, till at last it seemed K as though I'd got a steam engine a saw- j in' shingles in me. " I sot down in a cheer an' bent my- j self up like a nut cracker, thinkin' I'd ( grin and uearit; but I couldn't set stili i I I twisted and squirmed about like an ( angle worm on a hook, till at last the chap that gin me the cream, and who 1 had bin lookin' and snickerin', sez to me, ^ " Mister, what ails you ?" " Ails me?" said I, " that are darned i stuff of yourn is freezin' up my day- ( lights!" Ethan required a great deal of " doc- < terin" before he was " set to rights," af- * ter the quart of ice cream. . Think. Thought engenders thought. Place one idea upon paper, another will follow it, and still ( another until you have written a J'VQ V J. uu vuilllUb lailiuill ^'UUI' ^ mind. There is a well of thoughts i which has no bottom. The more you draw from it, the more clear ' and fruitful it will be. If you nejr- c lect to think yourself, and use other people's thoughts, giving them 4 utterance only, you will never 1 know what you are capable of. j At first, your ideas come out in j lumps, homely and shapeless, but a no matter, time and perseverance t will arrange and polish them. ? Learn to think, and you will soon j. learn to write, and the more jou b think, the better will you express a your ideas. b PuLriT Eloquence.?In the pulpit, eloquence is seen, not in the glare of ornament, but in the holy ministry of comfort or the solemn \ exposition jot Providence, damping j the hardened brow of guilt, and ? exhorting from the heart a testi- ^ mony of its^ own corruptions!? t, What subject can be capable of a a more sublime offect, than the reli gion which preaches liberty to the 1 captive, and consolation to the dis- [ tressed?that promises life in death, and raising the eye of hope to heaven, dispense the message of sal- ^ vation, to every condition and to every clime ! With how moving an appeal does it plead the cause ol helpless infants, or destitute old _ age, searching the bosom for every string, that can be touched to A pity, and bringing the gush of sympathy from the unfeeling heart, lide water from the rock in the wilderness. ^ " Mister printer," said a little 1 urchin, picking himself into our 1 sanctum with a paper in his hand d and pointing to a word?" mother g wants to know what's the mean- / ing of this 'ere word." r " What word-?that,?salmagun- j di V said we. t " Yes sir." t " Tell your mother that Web- t ster says it is a mixture of chopped v meat and pickled herring with oil vinegar, molasses, red flannel and B onions to be eaten three times a 0 day." j " By thunder if the old woman did'nt think it was a scripture {J word." r Can this be so??There are one * thousand five hundred and fifty- a five newspapers and periodicals in ? the United States, and but one r. thousand eight hundred and one * in all the world besides ! 8 Rather Green.?"That's curi- 8 ous," remarked a Westchester a countryman, the other day in one n of our hotels. e.
