This world would be a happy world, Would all men think alike j Would sects and parties throw away Their bitterness and spite; Would they but quit their strife of creeds, And try which could be best, Didiifle abroad those noble deeds By which mankind are blest. This world would be a happy world Had kings the power no more To drench this beauteous earth of ours In pools of human gore ; Had proud a nihil ion to submit To arbitration's rule, And glory's gilded toys be thought The playthings of a fool. This world would be a happy world If men were junter grown, Not seeking to raise up themselves By crushing others down ; Were all content by honest means To live ami get along, Tliere'd be an end to fraud and guile, To villainy and wrong. This world would be a happy world, A scene of joy and bliss, Did generous feeling sway mankind, Free from all selfishness ; Were man to man more firmly hound By sympathy's bright chain, Oh I then our glorious world would be A paradise again! MISCELLANEOUS. The Turn of lAtv. Between the years of forty uiul sixty, a man who has properly regululej himself, may ho considered ns in tho prime of life. His matured strength of constitution renders him ulino.-t impervious to the at tucli of disease, and experience has givt-n soundness to his judgment. His mind is resolute, linn and equal ; all his fuiio tions are in the highest order; he as sumes the mastery over business; build up u competence on the foundation he has formed iu early manhood, and passes through a period of life attended by many gratifications. Having gone a year or two past sixty, he arrives at a critical pe riod in the road of existence ; the river of death llovvs before him, and he remains at a stand-still. Hut athwart this river is a viaduct, called "The Turn of Life," wliii h, if crossed in safely, leads to the valley of "old age," round which the river winds, and then flows beyond without a boat or causeway to obstruct its passage. The bridge is constructed of fragile materials, and it depends upon how it is trodden whether it bend or break. Gout, apoplexy, and other lad characters, are also in the vicinity to wayluy the traveler, and thrust him from tho pass; but let him gird up his loins, and provide himself with a fitting slaff, and he may trudge on in safety with perfect composure. To qmt metaphor, "lhc Itiru cf l.ila JU8eif in the sunthine i.f a pretty face, has turn either into a prolonged walk or into j th0 following: "A beautiful Bmile is to the grave.

The "Old Oaken Hurkct," was written by S. H. YYoodworth, while yet lie was n journeyman printer, working in an ollice at the coiner of Chnmbers and Chatham streets. New York. Near by, in Frank fort street, was a drinking house, kept "by a innn named Mallory, where Wood worth and several particular friends used to resort. One afternoon tho liquor was super-excellent. Wood worth peeuu d in spired by it; for, after taking n draught, he set his glass upon the table, and .smack ing his lips, declared thiit Mallory's euu i!k t'c was superior to any that ho had ever tasted. "No," said Mallory, "you are mistaken, there was one which, in both our estimations, far surpassed this in the way of drinking." "What was thai f" asked Woodworth. dubiously. "The hanghts of pure, fresh spring water that we used to drink in the old oaken buiket that hung iu the well, ufter our return from the labors of (he lield on a sultry day in summer." The tear-drop glisten ed for a moment in Wood won h's eye. 'True, true," he replied, and shortly al'ier piitted the place. Ho immediately re turned to the ollice, gruped a pen, and iu half an hour the "Old Oaken Bucket," one of the most delightful comjHisitions iu our language, was ready in manuscript to be embalmed in (ho memories of sue- ceding generations. Dent Ii or u Notable Man. Thomas Dovvsn, tanner, of Cambridge, Mass., died on Tuesday, at the age of more than eighty years. Mr. Dowse was a reumrkublo character. Bred to the bu- sii;en of u tanner, nnd occupied with it till near the close of his life, he cultivated a taste for literature and urt, and accom plished himself iu uu eminent degree in various branches of polite learning. His library was, perhaps, tho must miscella neous one in the vicii.iiy of Boston. In J'nglish liternturo it ceull boa.-.t all the finest, as well as the" rarest editions of the best authors. Its value was not less than 830,000, and may have equalled 810,000. A few weeks ago, in anticipation of his death, he conveyed it entire to the Mas sachusetts Historical Society, whiMi has decided to appropriate a suite of rooms exclusively to its reception. His admira ble collection of paintings iu water colors has probably been left to some public in stitution. Mr. Dowse's name was writ ten, by the irreverent Harvard collegians, Thomas Dowse, I,L, 1)., which wus he'd to mean learned leather dresser. Har vard missed getting his library, which it was nt one period believed would be ad ded to its riches in this line. Mr. Dowse was in all respects a most excellent man, a good tanner, and n well-read student of literature.

NO. 9. 0cmi TtlKriiliij.ut. Herri. iiihii'h Itrport. I.ienl. Bel lyumn, who was sent out by the Navy Department, in the ship Arctic, to ascertain the depth, by sounding, from Newfoundland to Ireland, with reference to. the practicability of a submarine tele- graph, bus submitted his report, together wilh (ho maps nnd charts, to tho Navy Department, which will be published in the reports accompanying tho Secretary's Annual Ueport. It is very brief und to the point. He starts out by making soundings every thirty or forty miles, varying from one hundred fathoms to two .i i i . .. . . minimum nun seventy-live iadioms; no place beyond the latter figure that being the deepest point. In almost every sound ing he brought up various kinds of curi osities, such as shells of every descrip tion, gravel, quantities of mud, &c, all of which have been deposited in tho Smith sonian Institution. On his return he mado tho same ex ptrimenu of soundings with tho samo success. Nowhere did he find any ob structions or imediments in tho way, and establishes clearly and conclusively, and biyond the shadow of a doubt, in his judgment, the practicability and feasibility of the sub rme telegraph between those two points. I understand that the whole thing can be accomplished in ten days af ter everything is in readiness. During the month of July, in his judgment, is tho time it should be done. He further says that the wires would sink down into soft muddy bottom, and that nothing could pos sibly interfere with them. This settles beyond all question tho practicability of connecting the two continents by a sub marine telegraph. Ifrlnrirh rieinr's Opinion of London.
