we cannot agree with some OF our friends,
in rsgreuins the exclusion OF MI. Livingston
from Congress. Of all those who have taken
an active part in the presen, political contest,
he has come eff with the least bl"ws. Surely
no, because he did not deserve them. We are
not disposed TO reap up old charges, more es-
pecial!y since The gentleman has now liberty TO
90 into retirement, where we wish with all our
hearts he may erjoy Otium cum dis"ifafe He
ha. s,ruued his hour upon the slag--he will
soon make his exit.-behind The scenes we VIII

constituents WITH zeal and ability. We venture
10 say, on that score, h. viii stand compari'
son with Mr.. Livingston.

THE SEAsONS--BY BIsHoP HEBER
When spring unlocks the flowers 70 paint the
laughing soil;
When summers balmy showers refresh the
mower toll;
When winter binds in frosty chains the fallow
and the food,
In God the earth reioiceth still, and owns her
Makers good.
The birds that wake the morning, and those
that love the shade
The winds that sweep the mountain, or luil The
The Sun that from his amber bowers rejoicoth
on his way,
The Moon and Stars, their Masters name in
silent pomp display
Shall Man, the lord Of nature, expcctant Of the
sky,
Shall Man, alone unthankful, his little praise
deny
No, let the year forsakc his course, ths season
cease tob be,
Thee, Master, must we always love, and Sa-
viour, honor Thee.
The flowers Of Spring may wither, the hope Of
Summer fade,
The Autumn droop in Winter, the birds forsake
The winds saG i be uid-tbo Sun and Moo forget
their old decree
But we in Natures latest hour, o Lord will
cling to Thee.
