THE EXODUS OF THE PEOPLE . Labour and liberty are for ever one ;— '¦ " , ' ' ' In man ' s true life their work is jointly done . Behold they have descended _ Through ages and throug h centuries , ¦ .

TTandcred that chosen band . The land—the earth—this was the glorious goal "Which armed each valiant soul ;—The L _ x » which God had given them for their
own— . "Which they through ion . should win , — This was the mighty heritage which alone led them through desert Zin . Those Hebrew multitudes were outled Through cloven waters 1 They were fed With Heaven ' s unstinted bread ! And not for one , but all , the bounteous feast was spread :.-.

That p il grimage is a parable for the world ! Tyrants may read it when from empire hurled—Slaves may behold the Sinai flame of God—Aud tread the dust in which they once were trod ; That pilgrimage is the gospel of the poor , Teaching'Heaven ' s holiest mandate—to endure—Proving ~ God's promise infinitely sure—That pilgrimage is prophecy for all time—Thus through all ages , and in every clime , The People have been wandering—toiling on .

OUR EARLY LOYED . BX TBAXCES BBOW-. Our early loved—how their memory clings To the " hearts that love no more ! Xike .. rose that still in its sweetness springs , "Where a garden's pride is o ' er ; Though the weeds and thorns may long hare defaced The place of the perished flowers , Tet that lingerer gladdens the cheerless waste "With the bloom of its brighter hours ! Our early loved—hath their after path - Prom our steps far parted been ! Hath the hand of power , or the flame of wrath , On life's barriers risen between ! Te 4 still , in our dreams , their shadows come , O ' er the parting waste of years , Though the path is marked with many a tomb , And its sands are . wet with tears ! . They come with a light left far behind On the distant monutain ' s brow , Where the sunrise shone on the waking mind That is dark with shadows now ; But ever as the morning star returns To brighten the evening shades , The lamp of their memory brighter burns , As the spirit ' s daylight fades . Our early loved—have we found them changed In the gloom of our winter days ; And their bright locks blanched and their looks estranged , Till they scarce returned our gaze ? But far in the land where storms or time Can no longer sear or chill , In the light of our memory's cloudless clime We shall find them changeless still ! Hath the grass on the grave grown rankly green Whcrs we laid , so long ago , Our first affections ; all unseen , In their deep and quenchless glow ? Alas ! for the dust so darkly piled O ' er the bright but buried gem ; Dot safe are the treasures death hath sealed" For there comes no change on them !" "We may love again , and the later ties Oflife may be bright and strong ; But if broken , never in memory's eyes "Will their fragments shine so long : And the shrines of our childhood ' s stainless faith , We may leave them far and cold , But the heart still turns to the stars of youth With a love that ne ' er grows old !

History Of The United States Of America,...
History of the United States of America , from the Discovery-of the Continent to the Organisation of Government under the Federal Constitution . By l-ICHAHD UlLDItETH . 3 vols . 2 . ew York : Harper . London : Low . This is , we lielieve , the first attempt at a comp lete history of the United States . " jSo otherwork-on American History , '' says the author iu his Preface , " except mere compends and abridgements ^ embraces the same extent of time : none comprehends the same cii'cuit of inquiry , or has anything like the same plan
and objects . Nowhere else can he fonnd in the saiae distinct completeness the curious and instructive story of 3 Sew England theocracythe financial , economical , and political history of the colonies and the revolution—the origin and shaping of our existing laws and institutions , State and national—the progressive social and intellectual development of our people . " The three large volumes already published bring down the narrative to the establishment ofthe . Republican Constitution—that is , to 1788-9 . In two more volumes the author is to continue
it to tne present time . One great fault in Mr . Hildreth ' s work is , the method of its arrangement . Instead of dividing it , in the first place , -into books , or sections , each book or section comprising some specific portion of the history capable of being detached from the remainder—and then sab ordi-ately into chapters—Mr . Hildreth lets the narrative " stragg le on as it best can through no fewer than forty-eight chapters , continued in unbroken series over the three volumes .
2 sbr could a division into hooks have been so difficult . Anglo-American history prior to 1788-0 very readily breaks itself up into three period ? , each having a kind of independent unity : the period of primitive colonisation , eominGncing with the discovery of the American continent , and terminating in the early part of the eighteenth century—the period or the intercolonial wars , as Mr . Hildreth calls them , that is , ofthe wars between the . English and the French in America , extending from about 1000 to 1700 , when Canada was
annexed to the British dominions—and the period of the straggle for independence , extending from 1780 , or thereabouts , to 1733 , or , more properly , to 1789 . Perhaps the best portion of the work , as it stands , is that which goes over the ground of the first of the three periods above mentioned . This appears to have been the most carefully vmtten . The spirit in which the story is told is also remarkably fair . The Puritans—" often rude , hard , narrow , superstitious , and mistaken , " as Mr . Hildreth thinksthem , " hut always earnest , downright , manl y , and sincere "—are treated with evident
respect and liking ; and only now and then , Tvhen ia duty hound as a modern and an American—as , for example , in behalf oi representative freedom , reli gious toleration , and snch matters—does the author put in any protest of his own . On the question of Negro slavery his leanings are plainl y enough in favour of . abolition On this however , as on every other . abject treated of , his expressions are as customary and commonplace ag raav le . There is , notwitastanding , occasionally ! bit of interesting writing . Take for example tlie account of the trials for witchcraft in M-Isc chussetts , in 1688-92 :- dSSa "
ATuiic Andres was still governor , shortly after Increase Mather ' s departure for England , f 0 nr joung cLildron i members of a pious " family in Boston , the eldest a sfirl of thirteen , the youngest a boy not five , hadbegnn to behave in a singula r manner , barking like dogs , purring like cats , seeming to become deaf , blind , or dumb , having their limbs strangely distorted , complaining that they were pinched ; pricked , pulled , or cut ; acting out , in fact the effects of witchcraft , taccording to the current notions of it , and the descriptions in the books referred to . The terrified father called in Br . Oakes a zealous leader of the tdtraj-thebcratic party , who gave his opinion that the children were bewitched ,-The oldest girl had lately received a bitter scolding from an old Irish indented servant , whose daughter she had accused of theft . This same qli woman .
History Of The United States Of America,...
- from indications no doubt given" by the children , Was soon fixed , upon ag being the witch . Tho four ministers of Boston and another from Charlestown having kept-at day . of ; fasting and prayer at the troubled house ,, the youngest child was relieved . Buttle others ; more persevering and more artful , continuing as before ; the old woman was presently arrested , and charged with bewitching ; them . She had for a long time been reputed a witch , and she even seems to have flattered herself that she was , one . Indeed heir answers were so " senseless , " that the magistrates referred it to the doctors to see if she were not " crazed in her intellects . " : On their report of her sanity , the old woman was tried , found guilty * and executed .
Though Increase Mather was absent on this interesting occasion , he had a ' zealous representative in his son Cotton Mather , ' a young minister of twentyfive ; a prodigy ' of learning , ' eloquence ; and piety , recently settled as colleague with his father , over Boston - forth Church . ' * - * Cotton . Mather had taken a very active part in the late case of witchcraft ; and that he might study , the operations of diabolical agency at his leisure ; and thus be fur-Dished with evidence and arguments . © establishits reality , he took the eldest of the bewitched children home to his own house . His eagerness to believe invited imposture . His excessive vanity and strong prejudices made him easy game . ' " Adroit and artful beyond her years , the girl fooled him to the top of
his bent . His ready pen was soon furnished with materials for " a . story . madeiall up of wonders ; f which , with some matters of the same sort , and a sermon preached on . the .-occasion , which he presently published under the title of " Memorable Providences" relating to "Witchcrafts and Possessions . " with a preface , in which he warned ' all " Sadducees'' that he would regard their doubts for the future as . a personal insult . ' Cotton Mather was not the . only dupe . " The old heresy of the sensual Sadducees denying the being of angels either good or evil , " says the recommendatory preface to tho book , signed by the other four ministers of Boston , " died not . with them ; " nor will it , whilst men , abandoning both faith and reason ,
count it their wisdom to credit nothing but what they see or feel . How much this fond opinion hath gotten ground in this debauched age is awfully observable ; and what a dangerous stroke it gives to settle men in atheism is not hard to discern . ' .. God is , therefore , pleased , besidea the witnesses borne to this truth in sacred writ , to suffer devils sometimes to do such things in the world as shall stop the mouths of gainsayers , and extort a confession from them . " The ministers add their testimony to the truth of Mather ' s statements ; which they commend as furnishing " clear , information that there is both a God and a devil , and witchcraft . " The book was presently republished in London , with a preface by Baxter , who pronounced the girl ' s case
so " convincing that " he must be a very obdurate Sadducee who would not believe it . " * ^ The bewitched girl , as she ceased to be an object of popular attention , seems to have returned to her former behaviour . But the seed had been sown on fruitful ground . . After an interval of nearly four years , three young girls in the family of Parris , minister of Salem village , now Danvers , began to exhibit similar pranks . As in the Boston case , a physician pronounced them bewitched , and Tituba , an ' old . Indian woman , the servant of Parris , who undertook , by some vulvar rites , to discover the witch , was rewarded by the girls with the accusation of being herself the cause of their sufferings . The neighbouring ministers assembled at the house
of Parris for fasting and prayer . The village fasted , and presently a general fast was ordained throughout the colony . The " bewitched children , " thus rendered objects of universal sympathy and attention , did not long want imitators . Several young girls , and two or three women of the neighbourhood , began to be afflicted in the same way ; as did also John , the Indian husband of Tituba , warned , it . would seem , by the fate of his wife . Parris took a very active part in discovering the witches ; so did Jfoyes , minister of Salem , described as a learned , a charitable , and a good man . A town committee was soon formed for the detection of the witches . Two of the magistrates , resident at Salem , entered with great zeal into the matter . The accusations , confined at first to Tituba
and two other friendless women , one crazed , and the other bed-rid , presently included two female members of Parris ' s church , in which , as in so many other churches , there had been some sharp dissensions . The next Sunday after this accusa « tion Parris preached from the verse— "Have I not chosen you twelve , and one is a devil ? " At the announcement of this text , the sister of one of the accused women rose and left the meeting-house The two were accused immediately after , and the same fate soon overtook all who showed the least disposition to resist the prevailing delusion . . The matter had now assumed so much importance that the deputy governor proceeded to Salem village , with five other magistrates , and held a court in the meeting-house .
The remainder of the histoiy of . this delusion , which spread all over Massachusetts , aud involved the deaths of many persons of both sexes , occupies several pages . Among the miscellaneous points of information contained in the part of Mr . Hildreth ' s work devoted to the early histoiy of the various colonies , are such facts as these : that , numerous as were the tribes of Indians with whom the early settlers came into contact , the total number of Indians inhabiting the whole territory of the United States east of the
Rocky Mountain can at no time within European record have exceeded 300 , 000 individuals ; that the oldest town by many years in the United States is St . Augustine , in Florida , founded by a Spanish colony in 159 _—tlie second being Santa Fe , founded also by the Spaniards in 1582 ; that the first college in America was Harvard College , Cambridge , endowed by John Harvard , aclergyniau , with asum of about £ 800 , in the year 1 G 39 ; that the first printing press in America was setupintheaametowniu 1040 by Stephen Day , whose first production was a metrical version of the Psalms , " not
very remarkable for tunefulness ; " and that the total population of the various Anglo-American colonies as lately as 1715 , when Franklin was a boy of nine years of age , was only 43 _ , 600 souls . The following passage relating to the currency of New England is not uninteresting : — Such coin as the emigrants to _ Tew England brought with ibem quickly went back again in paymeat for imported goods ; but so long as the emigration was kept up , the inconvenience was little felt . * * The sudden stop to immigration , occasioned by the political changes in England , caused a ° TC . "it fall of price ? , and a corresponding difficulty in pavin- ' debts . Taxes had all along been paid in
grain and cattle at rates fixed by the General Court ; and grain , at different prices for the different sorts , was now made a legal tender for the payment of all new debts . To prevent sacrifices of property in cases of inability to pay , corn , cattle , and other personal goods—or , in defect of such goods , the house and lands of the debtor , when taken in execution—were to be delivered over to the creditor , at such value as they might lie appraised at by " three understanding and indifferent men , " one chosen by the creditor , another by the debtor , and a third by the marshal . * * . -Beaver skins were also paid and received as money ; and , from their value as a remittance , they held the next place to coin . Musket balls , at a farthing each , were at one time a legal tender to the amount of a shilling . A more available currency was found in the wampum or peage—cylindrical beads , half an inch lon _ , of two colours , white and bluish black ,
made by the Indians from parts of certain sea shells . The people of Plymouth first learned the use and value of this article from the Dutch of Manhattan , and they soon found it \ ery profitable in-trade with tha Eastern Indians—the shells of which it was made not being common north of Cape Cod . Presently it came to he employed as a circulating medium * first in the Indian traffic , and then among the colonists generally . Three of the black beads , or six of the white , passed for a penny . For convenience of reckoning they were strung in known parcels—a penny , threepence , a shilling , and five shillings in white ; twopence , sixpence , two-andsixptnee , and ten shillings in black . A fathom of white was worth ten shillings , or two dollars and a half ; a fathom of black , twice as much ; but , as the quantity in circulation increased , the value presently depreciated , and the number of beads to the penny was augmented .
It is as a repertory of such facts as these , rather than as a historical view of the primitive condition of the Anglo-American settlements , that Mi " . Hildreth ' s work is to be considered valuable . The social condition of the American colonies during the second great era of Anglo-American History—that ofthe Intercolonial Wars—was not the same as it had been during the first . Regarding New Eng land in particular , Mr . Hildreth says : —
In the century since its settlement -Jew England had undergone a great change . The austere manners of the Puritan fathers were still indeed preserved ; their language was repeated ; their observances were kept up ; their institutions were revered ; forms and . habits remained—but the spirit was gone The mere ordinary objects of human oesire and pursuit , the universal passion for wealth , poitieal squabbles with royal governors ,, land speculations , paper-money jobs , and projects of K-rri

tonal and personal aggr ¥ ndisement , ^ a _ Wper-ede _ those metaphysical disputes , that Vspiritttal vision , and thatabsorbing ' passion'fo rapure theocratic commonwealth , which had carried the lathers into the wilderness . It was among a colder set , of influences , therefore , than those which had tended the p lanting of , the colonies , that their destined heroes and defenders—the Franklins and the Washingtons of the eighteenth centurypassed their youth and manhood ... Enthusiasm was extinct ; and a prudent , formal indifferentism had succeeded . So decided was
the change—or as it appeared to , many , the degeneracy—that one or two men -in whom the old spirit lingered , or was rekindled , made'it the aim of their lives to renew and propagate it . Of these by far the most distinguished was Jonathan Edwards ; the greatest thinker , perhaps , that America haslet , ; produced—but of whom we defy the most quick sighted reader to obtain the slightest notion from Mr . Hildreth . ; Assistants , of his , iu his .. Herculean attempt to bring back religious fervour , and
sincerity among a population of half a million of persons , were , the two Wesleys and Whitfield : the Wesleys ; it is true , rather through their disciples than directly—for during their residence in America in 1736-7-they did not exert much influence . The '' Great Eevival , '' however , was but temporary in its effects ; and Anglo-American society preferred to advance in its own more spontaneous direction . Franklin , rather than Jonathan Edwards , was the type of the growing American character in the period of the intercolonial wars .
Of these wars there were four : the first lasted eight years , or-from 1690 to 1698 , —the second twelve years , or from 1701 to 1713 , — the third eight years , or from 17-0 to 17 _ 8 , — and the fourth six years , or from 1754 to 1760 . The second volume of Mr . Hildreth ' s work is in great part taken up with an account of these wars , and ofthe progress of the colonies during tho seventy years over which they extended . Here , even more than in the preceding part of the work , have we to complain of the extreme insipidity and dulness of his narrative .
The same kind of objections lie against the remaining portions of the work ; in which Mr . Hildreth relates the struggle of the colonies for independence , and completes the third great section of Anglo-American history . Here , however , owing to the unity of the subject , the interest is better kept up ; and we should suppose that the reader Who desires to inform himself in all the particulars , military or political , of the American Revolution , , would find that they hadbeen scrupulousl y collected for him by Mr . Hildreth . More than this we cannot say . For masterly portraits of the men ofthe revolution , — -Franklin , Washington , Jefferson , & c ., —or for profound appreciations of its worth and its historic consequences , the reader must go elsewhere .

Polytechnic Institution. This Inimitable...
POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION . This inimitable establishment continues to attract thousands of visitors , by its varied exhibitions of genius and art . On our recent visit wo heard a lecture on nova motive railways ; and we had a ride by the train . Secondly , —A lecture on chemistry , by Mr . Pepper , in which tho priestly imposition , " The fiery ordeal , " was exposed and exploded . The juvenile portion of the audience was treated to barley sugar , made by the lecturer dipping his hands with fruit into boiling sugar on the spot . Thirdly , —We were charmed with the Tyrolese airs , of the "Alpine singers , " who eung in their native tongue , clad in all the romantic simplicity of their native hills . The Alpine singers are three in number , two males and a female ; tho latter beautiful in person , and possessing a most charming voice , by which she captivated her audience , and succeeded in eliciting more than one encore . After witnessing tho " doings , " of the diver and the diving bell , the evolutions of the electric eels , and the wonders of the Photographic art , as shown in innumerable portraits , we had a lecture from professor Backoflner on electricity , with numerous experiments , which at once astonished , delighted , and electrified the audience . The dissolving views in tho large theatre , embracing , beautiful pictures in the Morea . Cape Town , Pingal ' s cave , the dripT ping well of Knarcsbro' , the Kock of Gibralter , and the caves in the interior ofthe rock , containing a battalion of Infantry ; and concluding with the brilliani and ever changing chromatrope , which elicited loud and repeated bursts of applause . To our readers who are lovers of science , and admirers of the fine arts , we say , fail not to visit the Polytechnic Institution .
Tiieit_I_-Tics.—The History Of Medicine ...
TiiEit _ i _ -Tics . —The history of medicine is bv no means flattering to science . It is questionable whether more is known of diseases , their cause , and their cure , at this moment , than in the time of Galen ; it is certain that diseases are quite as numerous , and ia the aggregate as fatal . Every age hiss produced some new system of artificial therapeutics which the next ago has banished ; each 1 ms boasted In its turn ' of cures , and they , in their turn , have been condemned as failures . Medicines themselves are the subjects unsettled ; infact , that it has no established principles , that it is little more than conjectural ? ' At this moment , ' says Mr . L'iony , ' the opinions on the subject of treatment are almost as numerous as ( lie practitioners themselves . Witness the mass of contradiction on the treatment of even one disease , namely , consumption . Stroll attributes its frequency to tlie introduction of bark . llorton considers bark an effectual cure . Held ascribes the frequency of tho disease to the use of mercury , llrillonet asserts that it is
curable by mercury only , ltuse says that consumption is an inflammatory disease—should be treated by bleeding , purging , cooling medicines , and starvation . Salvador ! says it is a disease of debility , and should bo treated by tonics , stimulating remedies , and a generous diet . Galen recommended vinegar as the bestpreventative of consumption . Dessanlt and others assert that consumption is often brought on by taking vinegar to prevent obesity , Deddoes recommended foxglove as a specific . Dr . Parr found foxglove more injurious in Ins practice than beneficial . Such arc the contradictory statements of medical men ! ' And yetiherecan be but one true theory of disease . Of thefallibility and inefficiency of medicine , none have been move conscious than medical men themselves , many of whom have been honest enough to avow their conviction , and now recommend MESSKS .

But now ,, says she , the gala undergo all such declivities ; the . task of extorting them home , revolves on their dear selves . The old lady drew down her specs , and thanked , her stars that she had lived in other days , when men were more palpable in depreciating the worth of the female sect .
"No Compliments . ' '—An aged divine was often obliged to avail himself of the assistance of probar tioners .

AMississirr-UN Oak . —A Mississippianwas bragging to a Yankee of the fertility of the soil of his region . To give a practical illustration of his subject , he said , that ho went to the woods to cut dowii an oak tree . After he had chopped for about a week or ten days , he thought fee would take a walk round the tree , just to see ho w much he had cut . When he got to the other side he saw another man chopping on the same oak . "I sny , " says our friend , "how long have you been cutting ? " " Just three weeks , " says the stranger . The tree was so big round that they did not hear the sound of each other's axes !—N . C . Argus .

SingularExpERiiuiNTSwiTuELECTito , Magnetism—Dr . I ' age , of , Washington , United States , is now exhibiting his new application of Electro Magnetism rs a motive power , at . the Smithsonian Institute in that city . He causes a bar of iron . ' . weighing one hundred and sixty pounds , to dance without support in the air like a feather , to the height of ten inches and upwards , the force operating , on it averaging three hundred pounds . Tic states , that there , would be no difficulty in raising a weight of a' hundred tons , and causing it to move through the space of a hundred feet , " with the proper apparatus . " . He also developes a great explosive . force from his magnet . He has made an engine of four or five horse power , which works successfully , and at a cost less than steam , and the " larger the engine the less the relative expense of driving it . " These results arc not entirely conclusive ; tho battery requires improvement , and " the experiment of n machine of
a hundred horse power can alone decide the value of his invention . " The Folly of Pridk . —The Uev .
