thine awful presence intrudes itself upon the
harrassed imagination, and bids the lofty sim
ner reflect On the acts Of injustice of which
he has been guilty. The veil of oblivion,
which, with all the precaution OF vice, he has
endeavoured to pass over his crimes, thou
canst in one unguarded moment cause him
self to remove his deeds of darkness, so eau
tiousy envcloped with the specIous sarb OF
Discrimination and hypocrisy, are frequently by
thee laid open to the scrutinlzlng eye OF JUS
tee. His most secret recesses, thou canst
penetrate, his every Joy en,bitter, and render
him who was once hardened IN lniqulty, Sus-
ceptible to the slightest emotions OF fear. The
man who once was callouS to the tender
plants of misery and injured innocence, Will,
when under thy influence, start at shadow,
tremble at an s. unreal mockely," and imagine
the most trivial sound, solemn summons OF
retribution. Such, 0 Conscience, is the form
in which thou visitest the child of iniquity
such the shape in which thou approached the
votary of vice; how happy then the man, who
void of guile, breads not thy reproaches
who, supported by the consciousness or un-
spotted innocence, enjoys uninterrupted Sc
renity and peace of mind whose slumbcrs
are undisturoed BY the phantoms of disor-
drred imagination, and who looks forward
with the ardor of hope and expectation to the
time when the virtues and vices OF mankind
shall receive their Just reward.

Wanderer, your early search IS VAN,
Winter stiIl shows his rugged form,
Still his cold arm lays waste the pla*',
AID hurls around the icy storm.
Return, oh wanderer, to t!:y cell,
Still on thy treasured honey feast,
For yet no blossom hangs It's bell,
Nor yet thy store Can be increased.
Wait, wanderer, wait, and Springs bright hour
Shall soon assert its genial sway,
Shall spread the plain with every flower,
Shall fill with music every spray.
Then, little Wanderer, thou mayst roam,
And CLEAN thy stores from every bloom.
With honied treasures seek thy home,
Nor dread the power of winters gloom.

rise to the following disgraecful scene in
one of the counties in that state.
/" The court commenced its session on
Tuesday and proceeded without interrupt
ton, until Thursday morning. when Judge
Snowden appeared and took his seat. The
court was not yet opened. A warm alter
cation Immediately took place between
Judge Snowden and the President Judge
Dunlavy, respecting Snowden's right -
which was terminated by an order to the
sheriff for the removal and confinement
of Mr.. Snowden, for disturbing the court.
The sheriff did not obey. The president
called for the coroner, and ordered him
to commit the sheriff for disobeiiience.-
After the coroner had committed the She
riff, and returned to court, he was order
cd to take Mr.. Snowden into custody, and
il necessary, to command assistance
Judge Snowden refusing to leave the
bench, the coroner commanded four OF
the by-standers to assist him; two of them
utterly refused their aid and were fined
three dollars each by the court; the third
was excused ON account OF his age; the
fourth obeyed his summons, and the judge,
LITER mnch violent exertion. was dragged
from the bench and taken to place of
cont: uement."
