SONNETS.-BY J. G. PERcIvAL.
o! Evening, have loved thee with Joy
Tender and pure, and thou hast ever been
A soother of my sorrows. When boy
/ wandered often to lonely glen,
And far from all the stir and noise of men,
Held fond communion with unearthlv things,
Such as como gathering brightly round us, when
imagination scars and shakes her wings.
Yes, in that secret valley, doubly dear
For all its natural beauty and the hush
That ever brooded DER it, would lay
My thoughts in deepest calm-and if bush
Rustled or small bird shook the beechen SPRAY,
There seemed mnistering angel whispering
near,
o would that dreams were not things they are.
More unsnhstantial pageants, born and dying
With the light sleep that makes them, coming,
flying,
Like evening clouds, how beautiful and fair!
o they are thinner than the empty air,
And yet how blessed, when they bend and
smile
How the heart flows away in raptures, while,
Dear, fond illusions, they are lingering there
They have a touch and voice-that bosom
swelling
With young world of joys, how softly heaves
1t lifts its gauzy veil, like feathery leaves
Waved lightly over Yemen's palmy dwelling,
~ HgHeI oiISs IHdl even nope DelleVeS
To the fixed eye Of slumbering fondness telling
Ansaoers to the AaagramS an the last Spy.
The highest rates the richest pay
Tears down the cheek Of sorrow stray
Men at strange sights will stare we know,
And t0reS with wheat will always grow
Slime wrapsthe eel that wrigges in the mire
A Smile on beauty's lips we all desire
Seiim s Persian Prince and no name HIGHER
Going long journies many Mics you 20

WORCESTER:
WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 90, 1929

THE CATTLE Show AND EXHIBITION OF
MANUFACTURE AS the time of the annual
show is now near at hand, we would express
the hope that the interest which has heretofore
been felt in it, may be found to have suffered
no diminution, but that the yeomanry of the
county will be prompt, as heretofore, to exhibit
the choicest of the productions of their fields,
their daries, and their stalls; that the manu-.
facturers and mechanics will display the evi.
dences of the improvement which is going on
in their respective branches and that tins fe.
males-our mothers and our sisters, will be lib.
eral in their contributions to that portion of the
exhibition--the workmanship of their hands
which have heretofore been viewed with SO
much satisfaction We want such an exhbi.
ton MS will shew the actual progress and state
of improvement in the county. Those extra
ordinary and forced productions, whether ami
NAL or vegetable, which are sometimes exhb.
tied, though, matters of curiosity, as showing
what art is capable of doing, are, nevertheless.
no evidence of general progressive excellence,
nor are they calculated in any great degree to
promote the valuable purposes for which these
exhibitions are established. These remarks
may, also, with justice, be extended to manu-.
featured articles The fact has come within
our own personal knowledge, that some of our
best manufacturers of woollen goods, who could
have exhibited articles of superior excellence,
have often been deferred from doing it, because
such as they had on hand, were not made of
the very finest stock which could be procured,
at the most extravagant rate. We hope that
such considerations may no longer have any
influence. We believe that the time is past,
when the excellence of an article will be iudr.
ed, entirely, or chiefly, by the quality of the
stock. We have good reason to believe that
the committees will, in future, have regard
rather to superiority of workmanship, than to
the extraordinary quality of the stock. We
infer this from the increased disposition which
has been manifested, for two or three years
past, to make that the principal test of excel
lence.
Much Inconvenience has been experienced
in years past from neglect of the regulation
prescribing the time of making the entries Of
the animals or articles to be exhibited and, in
some instances, those who would have been en-
titled to the first premium, if the entry had
been seasonabIy made, have lost it by want of
attention in that particular. For the niorma.
tion of all interested, we would now mentions
that all manufactured articles must be entered
and deposited in the hall, before II O'Clock in the

THE AMERICAN CoLoNIzATIoN SocIE-
Tr has eleven State auxiliaries. The Leg
islatnres of eleven states have publicly
expressed their appreciation of its plans,
and of these eleven, six are Slave States.
Ten States have recommended it to the
patronage Of the Federal Government and
of these, FIVE are Slave States. One Slave
State has made an annual appropriation
to aid the Society. Among the passengers
sent out the last year by the Society,
were SO manumitted slaves. At the close
of the year passage was sought for 200
more, and 1000 were ready in July last to
he sent from North Carolina. The agent of
the State Society in Kentucky, says, 81
am perfectly astonished at the ardor, with
which all men of al! ranks enter into the
plans of the Society. In going round TO
receive members, was informed by many
individuals, that they were perfectly ready
to surrender their negroes at any time the
Society might be prepared to receive
them. Boston Patriot

GREAT ATTRACTION AT NIAGARA
FALLS Permission having been. granted
by His Excelency Sir John Colborne, Gov
ernor of Upper Canada, to Mr.. William
Forsyth, to blast off that portion Of the
Table Rock, which for several years past
has threatened destruction to the many
visitors who have been daring enough to
pass under or upon 1.-TWO gentlemen of
this town have determined to add some
thing to the effect, by holding out an in
ducement to the celebrated Sam. Patch,
who has several times jumped off the Pas
sale Falls in New Jersey, and subsequently,
leapt from the masthead of schooner on
the Hudson opposite New York, to give a
specimen of his unequal skill and daring,
at the proposed blasting off fete at the Falls
on the Eth October next. The application
has been made to the aforesaid Sam. Patch,
through friend in New York, in due form !;
and, from his known intrepidity, there is
but little doubt but that the offer made,
which is liberal, will be accepted. The
place in contemplation, for Mr.. Patch to
leap from, is over the eddy, between the
two Falls, and can be raised or lowered at
at the option of the jumping Mr.. Patch.
The water into which he will fall is from so
to 20 feet deep, without an under-tow or
local current.
In the event, however, of Mr.. Patch de-
Ginning tojump, when he has examined the
premises, the schr. Superior, Ia stout,
stanch vessel, rebuilt two years ago, and
drawing much less water than the old
Michigan, which made decent 9Th Sept.
1927 will be sent over the Falls the same
day; and, there is every reason to. believe
that she will pass the great rapids in safety,
and that the spectators will see her launch
ed 156 feet, propelled by current which
moves at the rate of 25 or 80 miles per
hour, into the vortex below.
A greater conclusion is not in the power
of human means to create, than the proposed
blast of the Table Rock This is patriot
ic act. During the season of travel, there is
not day when ladies and gentlemen do
not pass over and beneath it. We have
noticed the assure in the Table Rock for
the three years past. 1t widens every year.
There is no computation as to the quantum
of stone, which this operation will precipi-
tate $50 feet into the Niagara river. The
blowing up the magazine at York during
the last war, ut the action in which the
gallant Pike fell, shook the buildings ut
Forts George and Niagara, forty miles
distant. 1t is believed that the effect to be
produced by the blast may be felt even
farther than the blow-up.
