The following beautiful lines are from the
Juvenile Forget Me-Not' for 1892
They were written by MIR. Lamar Blan-
chard, upon the picture ola boy endeavor-
ing to lay salt ON the tail of a bird:
"Gently, gently yet, young stranger!
Light of heart and light ofheel;
Ere the bird perceive its danger,
On it slyly steal.
Silence !-ha! your scheme is falling
No: pursue your pretty prey;
See, your shadow on the pailing
Startles It away.
Hush your step some note is giving;
Not whisper-not breath:
Watchful be as aught that's living,
And be mute as death!
Glide on, ghost-like, still inclining
Downards DER it; or, as sure
AS the sun is on us shining,
Twill escape the lure.
Caution! now you're nearer creeping;
Nearer yet-how still it seems
Sure the winged creatures sleeping,
Wrapt in forest dreams!
Golden sights that bird is seeing,
Nest ofgreen, or messy bough;
Not thought it hath of fleeing
Yes you'll catch it now
How your eyes begin TO twinkle
Silence, and you'll scarcely fail;
Now stoop down, and softly sprinkle
Salt upon its tail.
Yes, you have it in your tether,
Never more to skim the skies;
Lodge the salt on his long feather
Ha! it flies, it flies !
Hear it-hark. among the bushes,
Laughing at your idle lures!
Boy, the self same feeling gushes
Through my heart and yours.
Baffled sportsman, childish Mentor,
How have been-hapless fault
Led like you my hopes TO centre
In agrain of salt!
Time, thy feathers turn TO arrows,
for salt have used thy sand,
Wasting it on hopes, like sparrows,
That elude the hand.
On what captures Eve been counting,
STOPPING here, and creeping there,
All to see my bright hope mounting
High into the air!
Half my life Pve been pursuing
Plans I'd often tried before,
Rhapsodies that end in ruin
|, and thousands more.
This, young sportsman be your warning
Though you've lost some hours to day,
Others spend their life's fair morning =,
In no wiser way.
What hath been my hottest treasure!
What were we unto my eyes,
Love, and peace, and hope, and pleasure?
Birds of Paradise
Spirits that we think TO capture
BY false and childish scheme,
Until tears dissolve our rapture
Darkness ends our dream.
Thus are objects loved the dearest,
Distant as the dazzling star;
And when we appear the nearest,
Farthest off we are.
Thus have children of all ages,
Seeing bliss before them fly,
Found their hearts but empty cages,
And their hopes-on high!'

that it will appear to the naked eye as

speaking Of these burning bodies as eel

calamity on earth. Some have already
announced the expected visitant as the
herald of war, betokening the hostile

old Times.--The late respectable and
worthy Mr.. Claxton, so long a door
keeper TO the house of representatives
of the U. States, used to say, that when
he was first appointed to that office, it
was part of his business to attend the
arrival ofthe mails at the post office, and
carry to the house the letters and papers
addressed to the members, which in gen
eral, he could conveniently do in his
pockets-but, sometimes, had to put a
few in his hat. We believe now that
considerably more than an average oftwo
dearborn wagon loads of letters and pa
pers are daily received at the house of
representatives, and as many sent a
way. Niles.

We have this morning received the following
melancholy intelligence from friend in Kllksn'

We had dreadful scene in our county lhs
day. MIR. D--has Just returned from The
neIghboshood in which it occurred, Castle Nor
ris, the residence Of Captain Pratt de MOntmo'
ency.
party Of 40 policemen went out this morning.
under the command Of Captain Gibbons cO'
constable, with man named Butler, PEoc'"
server, to serve subpenas for the Rev. DOc@
Hamilton's tithes on the union Of KnoctetoPer'-
The party were attacked, about the hour ol"'
O'Clock in the afternoon, at Kilkenny, by ab@'
1000 persons. Capt. Gibbons, Butler the pr,
cess server, and IL Of the police, were kilediDit
tour more so wounded that there il little nope"
their recovery. There are many more psa'
wounded-ail the arms Of the police were HG,
ken into pieces, and left with the slaushl''S
bodies. Two of the police escaped to Knoe@.
pher. and one got into Kilkenny. Immediate!
after his arrival Mr.. Joseph Green, chief mass
trate, with party Of dragons, proceeded 'olm
house Of Mr.. Hamilton. The assaant par!
were armed with pltchforks, and spades. i"
police were only able to fire about ten shots
Three Of the mob are said to have been killed,

lous to reason; but we would only ask the better
part of the public to consider what motive could
exist in the Austrian Court for the commission of
such crime?
The Emperor Of Austria and his willy coun-
cilior, Metternich. were perfectly aware OF the
great stake which they held in their hand by the
possession Of NapOleonin any game which they
might wish to play against France. They had
endeayored TO give him German education, but
they knew that he might easily pretend to have a
French heart; they kept him away from Italy,
but they were fully aware that the influence OF
his fathers name and glory might still be equiva.
lent TO an army against the Orleans successors OF
the Bourbons Even in the late negotiations res
pectng the Austrian interference in the Roman
legations, the important hostage at SchGbrunn
was not forgotten by either party, as pledge of
peace or an instrument Of hostility. On the
score Of interest, therefore, the Austrian dynas-
ty must have been DESTROYS of rearing the young
lion of their house, whose ambition at home they
felt assured Of being able TO tame or muZZle; but
motives of more pure and etfectionate kind were
not wanting to secure their utmost efforts Tor his
preservation.
The Young Prince was not only possessed OF
some Of the intellectual talents of his illustrous
father, but evinced very early the most amiable
disposition and the most generous temper. lie
was particularly beloved by his Imperial gran
father. and though the family is great and not We
nv united, he was the general tavorite The re-
al cause of his death therefore, was neither poi
son nor harsh treatment, but a malady which no
family kindness could avert, nor any resource OF
the healing art remove. He has left behind HIM
sincere sorow for his untimely death if not en-
ightened regre,s for the failure OF the liberal an
ticiDrripnS attached to his name by the friends
of Italian. perhaps of French independence. -
Upon the whole it Is better that the poor boy
shOnld have died.
