not to be accompanied with shaking

BIRTH DAYS.
MY birth day"'-wha, different day,
That word had in my youthful ears;
And how, each time the day comes round,
Less and less white its mark appears
When first our scanty years are told.
1t seems like pastiine to grow old;
And, as youth counts the shining links
That time around him binds so fast,
Pleased with the task, he little thinks
How hard that chain will bind at last.
Vain was the man, and false as vain,
Who said, "were he ordained to run
His long career Of life again,
He would do all that he had done;''
All! it's not thus the voice that dwslls
In sober birth days speaks 10 me;
Far otherwise--of time il tells
Lavsh'd nwisely-carelessly-
or counsel mock'd-of talents, made
IIaply for high and pure designs,
But Oft, like Israe's increase, laid
upon unnoiy, eartnly shfltes-
or nursing many wrong desire.
Of wandering after love too far,
And taking every meteor fire
That cross'd my pathway, for his starr
All this it tells, and could | trace
The imperfect picture o'er again,
With power to add, retouch, eiiace
The lights and shades, the JOY and pain,
How little Of the past would stay
How quickly all should melt away
All-but that freedom of the mind
Which hath been more than wealth to me;
Those friendships in my boyhood twined,
And kept till nowuuchangingly;
And that dear home, that saving ark,
Where loves true light at last I've found,
Cheering within, when all grows dark,
And comfortless, and stormy round!

A SONG OF MAY.

BY WILLIS GAYLORD CLARKE.
The Springs scented buds all around me are
There are songs in the stream m-there is health
in the gale;
A sense Of delight in each bosom is dwelling,
As aoat the pure day beams o'er mountain and
vale;
The desoate reign of Old Winter is broken
The verdure is fresh upon every tree;
OF natures revival the charm-and a token
OF love, oh thou Spirit Of Beauty! to thee
The sun looketh forth from the halls of the morn
And ilushes the clouds that begirt his career;
He welcomes the giadness and glory, returning
To rest on the promise and hope Of the year.
lie fills with rich light all the balm breathing
flowers
lie mounts to the zenith, & laughs on the wave;
lie wakes into music the green forest bowers,
And gilds the gay plains which the broad rivers
The young bird is out on his delicate pinion-
lie timidy sails in the infinite sky;
A greeting to May, and her fairy dominion,
lie pours, on the west-wind's fragrant sigh;
Around, above, there are peace and pleasure
The woodlands are snging--ths heaven is
bright;
The fields are unfolding their emerald treasure,
Aud mans genial spirit is soaring in light.
Alas, for my weary and cars-haunted bosom!
The spells Of the spring time arouse it no mors;
The song in the wild-wood-the sheen Of the
blossom
The fresh-welling fountain-,heir magic is o'er
When | list to the streams-when look on the
flowers,
They tell of the Past, with so mournfu tone,
That call up the throngs Of my long vanished
And sigh that THEN transports are over and gone.
From the wide-spreading earth--from the limit
less heaven,
There have vanished an eloquent glory and
gleam;
To my veil'd mind no more is the influence given
Which coloreth life with the hues Of dream
The boom-purpled landscape Its loveness keep
eth,
I deem that light as of cid gilds the wave;
But the eye Of my spiri, in heaviness seepeth,
Or sees but my youth, and the visions it gave
Yet it is not that age on my years hath descended
lis not that It's snow-wreaths encircle IN,
brow;
But the necness and sweetness Of Being are end
ed
feel not their love-kndling witchery now
The shadows Of death Ger my path have beef
sweeping,
ThcreVrs those who have loved me, debarrec
from the day;
The green turf IS bright. where in peace they ar
sleeping,
And on wings ofreniombrance my soul is away
II is shut TO the glow Of this present existence,
II hears, from the Past, funeral strain
And il eagerly turns to the high seeming distance
Where the last blooms Of earth will be garner
ed again;
Where no mildew the soh, damask-ress chee
shall noursh;
Where grief beans no longer the posonos
sting;
Where ptless Death no dark scsp,re can flourish
Or stain with his blight the luxuriant spring
II is thus that the hopes which to others are Civ
en-,
Fall cold on my heart in this rich month o
! hear the clear anthems ,ha, ring through tn
heaven
drink the bland airs that enlven the day;
And if gentle Nature, her festival keeping,
Delight, not my bosom-sh! do not condemn
Ger the lost and the lovely my spirit Is weep
ing
For my hearts fondest rsptures are buried wit
thsm.

On Wednesday March 10Th, 1884 the
Convention to promote the establish
ment of a State Constitution met in the
city of Providence agreably to adjourn
ment. The proceedings of the first meet
ing were read. Messrs. Jabez N. Hor-

A committee from the Ant-Slavery
Society, in the city of Providence, ap-
peared in person and presented to the
Convention resolution Of the Society
duly certified, appointing them for the
purpose of addressing the Convention on
the subject of the 9th Resolution passed
by the Convention on the 2Gd ult. that
all white male citizens over twenty-one
years of age with certain exceptions and
restrictions therein expressed,) should
be entitled to the right of suffrage, upon
paying a tax. Mr.. John H. Weeden of

CITED business which would Of itselfcon-

pose of destroying you. do not doubt
but that it will be Improbable for you to
notice such attacks in any other manner
than merely to invite your assailants to
meet you in the fair field of Argument,
cannot be questioned
A paper founded upon broad and
Liberal basis, which shall support the
cause it espouses by fair and candid ar
gument, addressed to the plain common
sense, and the understandings of the peo-
pie, instead of appeals to their prejudi-
ces and passions, is loudly. called for at
this time by all classes, and should your
paper persue that course, have no doubt
of the ultimate success of your cause, nor
have any doubt that your paper will be
patronized by every candid man in the
community.
1t is to be regretted as unfortunate for
the cause of political reform, that the
cause pursued by party papers in by gone
years, in canvassing political elections,
has had the effect, to reduce the press in
this country, to most miserably low ebb;
when the people have asked for light, the
press has spread around them cloud Of
darkness; when the people have asked
for information, the press as it were with
a studied effort, has blinded their eyes
that they might not see, stopped their
ears that they might not hear, and de-
ceived their hearts that they might not
understand; indeed it has become apro-
verbal saying that whatever is published
in newspaper, upon the subject OF po-
litics, is "Lie."
1t behoves you therefore, in conduc-
ting your paper, to set an example, which,
if followed by others, will have tenden-
cy to redeem the press from the low state
of degradation to which its unthlnking
and reckless conductors, by their impru-
dence, have plunged it, and place 1t in
situation creditable to itself, and honora-
bic to the Nation; and ifyou can effect
this object, you then will have done your
country much service.
Having made these suggestions, ! will
draw to n close by adding, that, although
these remarks, hastily thrown together,
are wholly gratuitous on my part, yet L
hope they will not be unkindly received,
for if there be error in it, it is error OF the
head and not of the heart. On the other
hand should you deem this worthy your
attention it is at your service. Should
this scrap influence you to establish your
paper on the basis herein suggested, and
influence the publ to patronize it, then
my purpose will hive been accomplished.

We copy from late Providence Jour
nal the following account of the first an
nual meeting of the Providence Young
Mems Temperance Society, because we
feel strong interest in the Temperance
Reform and sincere desire to promote
it. The conductors of the X. i. COnSti.
tutionalist are decidedly of opinion that
the Temperance Reform is inseparably
Iconnected with the Political Reform ior
which they are contending. They freely
admit that to put votes into the hands OF
men who would 60 reeling to the polls
and there sell their suffrage for glass
ofwhiskey, would be worse than useless.
But they contend that a reasonable ex-
tension of suffrage among temperate
and intelligent population of non-lreehol-
ders, would be not only safe, but the most
direct means Of improving our political
institutions.
PROVIDENCE YOU'VE MEN's TEMPER
ANCE SoCIETY.-The first annual NEE
ting Of this Society was held on Wedns-
day evening, March 26th, in the Vestry
of the Richmond Street Meeting House.
The Report of the Board of Directors,
containing an account of their procee-
dings, and of the progress of the Society
during the past year, and offering some
suggestions for future consideration, was
presented and read by the Secretary, and
its disposition referred by vote to the Board
elected for the coming year.
The meeting was then addressed, in
an able and torcible manner, by MIR.
Henry l.. Bowen, Rev. Thomas u. Wa.
terman, and Rev. Mr.. Farley, mostly in
allusion to matters contained in the Re-
port just read. Mr.. S. S. Wardwell also
made few remarks.
1t was then moved that a Committee
of two gentlemen be appointed to obtain
a declaration from the Physicians of this
city, similar to that of the Medical Fa-
Guilty in Boston, with regard to the ruin
Gus effects of ardent spirits upon the
health of any individual, however "mod-
crate" may be his use ofthem. Messrs'
]. G. Kingsbury and 7. c. Hartshorn
were appointed as this Committee.
1t was also voted by the Society that
the Board of Directors for the present
year, be a Committee for the purpose ol
calling a Convention Of Delegates from
