We 90 not concur with the suggestion Of the
New York Daily Advertiser, Thai because the
Preside n, Il, C, is moi dead, there is no need OF
saying any thing more about The moot question
which has been agita,ed in the papers, as 10
who would, in that event, have taken his sext.--
The bare possibility Of such an event happen
ing, and the knowledge that it is now an unpro-
vidcd for and unsettled case, makes US anxious
tina: the point should be put to rest in some
way or other. Fifty years hence it will pre-
sent more difficulties than i, now does, and its
adjustment require more conside ration. There
is no need for delaying it. There is. indeed,
pos .ibilty thai the event in question may never
occur,-but there is a probability hat twill;
and the sooner decision is made upon it, the
better.

Iarive to the character Of Paiey, which we pub
lish'd the othrr day, we intended 10 accompany

said Of him. HIS Natural ThroIogy-a work
rcplete with the sounGest rrasoning-is faiths

In that admirable work, in The language Of the
Reviewer, he presents his high theme, "draw-
ing, as it were, philosophy f'om the Clouds
ut is philosophy in the highest and noblest
sense; scientific, without the jargon of science;
profound, but so clear chat rs drpth is dIsguis-
ed" Paley's works, we believe, are the tex.
books in most Of our colleges, and none deserve
better TO be so. Infdelhy and scep'itism have
their greatest enemy 10 the plain, concise, and
forcible reasoning Of PaIey.

r TOWN CHILD AND THE COUNTRY CHILL
sr ALLTS CUNNINGHAM.
Child Of the country free as air
Art thou, and as the sunshine fair;
Born like the lily, where the dew
Lies odorous when the day is new;
Fed mid the Nay-Howers like the bee,
Nursed to sweet music on the knee,
I.ulled in the breast TO that glad tune
which winds make 'mong the woods OF June;
sing of thte;-'tis sweet to sing
OfSuch fair and gladstone thing.
Child Of the town! for thee sigh,
A gihed roofs thy golden sky,
A carpet is thy dashed sod,
A narrow street thy boundless read,
Thy rushing deer's the gathering tramp
of watchmen, thy hest lights lamp,
Through smoke sninot through trellised vines
And blooming tees thy sunbeam Shines
I sing of thee in sadness; where
Else is wreck wrought in aught so fair.
Child of the country! thy small feet
Tread ON strawberries red and sweet
With thee wander forth to see
The flowers which most delight the bee;
The bush Ger which the throstle sung
In April while she nursed her young;
The den beneath the s!oe-thorn, where
She bred her twins the tin~sous hsrei
The knoll, wrought DER with Wild blue.bells,
Where brown bees build their balmy cells,
The green wood stream, the shady pool,
Where trouts leap when the day IS cool;
The Shfs's nest tSat SEEMS to be
A portion of the sheltering tree,
And other marvels which MY verse
Can find no language TO rehearse.
Child of the town! for thee, alasi
Glad nature spreads nor flowers nor grass:
Birds auild 10 nests, nor IN the sun
Glad streams come singing a. they run,
a NAV pole is thy blossom'd tree,
A beetle is Thy murmuring bee.
rhy bird is Gagged, thy dove IS where
Thy poulterer dwers, beside th> hare;
Thy fruit is pluck'd and b, the pound
Hawk'd clamorous all the city rounds
No roses, twinborn on the stalk,
Perfume thee in thy evening walk;
No voice ofbirds-but TO thee comes
The mingled din OF cars and drums,
And startling cries, such as are rife
JYheu wine and wassal waken strife.
Child of the country! on the lawn
see thee like the bounding fawn,
Bli,he as the bird which tries its wing
The FIRST time on the winds OF spring;
Bright as the sun when from the cloud
He comes as cocks are Growing loud;
Now running, shouting, mid sunbeams,
Now cropping trouts in lucid streams,
Now spinning like mill wheel sound,
Now hunting echo's empty round,
Now climbing up some old tall tree
For climbing sake. Ills sweet to thee,
To sit wiere birds can sit alone,
Or share with thee thy ven,urous throne.
