Gone to thy Heavenly Fathers rest
The flowers Of Eden round thee blowing!
And, on thine ear, the murmurs blest
OF Shiloah's waters softly howingI
Beneath that Tree Of Life which gives
To all the earth It's healing leaves
In the white robe Of angels clad,
And, wandering by that sacred river,
Whose streams OF holiness make glad
The city Of our God forever
Gentlest Of spirits mot for thee
= Our tears are shed-our signs are given {:
Why mourn TO know thou art free
Partaker Of the joys Of Heaven .
Finished thy work, and kept thy faith
IN Christian firmness unto death
And beautiful, as sky and earth,
When Autumn's sun is downward going,
The blessed memory Of thy worth
Around thy place Of slumber glowing!
But wo for US !--who linger still
. With feebler strength 4 hearts less lowly,
And minds less steadfast to the will ;
,sOf Him, whose every work is holy
For not like thine, is crucified
The spirit Of our human pride:
And, az the bondman's tale of wo,
And, for the outcast and forsaken,
Not warm like thine, but cold and slow,
!. Our weaker sympathies awaken
Darkly upon our struggling way
The storm Of human hate is sweeping;
Hunted and branded, and prey,
Our watch amidst the darkness keeping
Oh! for that hidden strength which can
Nerve unto death the inner man!
Oh-lor thy spirit tried and true,
And constant in the hour Of trial
Prepared 10 suffer or to do
In meekness and in self-denial.
oh, for that spirit meek and mild
Derided, spurned, yet accomplishing
BY men deserted and reviled,
Yet faithful TO its trust remaining,
Still prompt and resolute to save
From scourge and chain the hunted slave
UnWavering in the Truths defence
Even where the fires of Hate are burnino.
The unquailing eye Of innocence
Alone upon the oppressor turning
Oh-loved Of thousandsI to thy grave.
Sonowing Of heart thy brethren bore thee
The poor man and the rescued slave
Wept As the broken earth closed DER thee,
And grateful tears like summer rain
Quiekened It's dying grass again
And there, rs 20 some pilgrTm-shrine
Shall come, the outcast and the lowly,
Of gentle deeds and words of thine,
Recalling memories sweet and holy
Oh Cor The death the righteous die!
An end, like Autumn's day declining,
On human hearts, as on the sky,
with holier, tenderer beauty shining
As TO the parting soul were given
The radiance of an opening heaven!
As If thatpure and blessed light
From off the Eternal altar flowing,
Were bathing inits upward fight
The spirit Of its worship going

POPULAR TASTE. AS an evidence Of
the corruption of the popular taste in this
country, we refer to the fact that hardly
tale is got up for the amusement of The
public, without being duly spiced with in,
stances of love, seduction breach of mar
riage promise, and illegitimacy. French
taste, manners and morals seem to be the
rage Of the day-Jour. of Pub. Morals.

THE WHEAT CRoP.-Accounts from all parts
of the country represent the prospect for good
the extreme. The Hessian fly, that enemy of
the farmer, aided by the long continued drought,
in April and the early part Of last month"; has cut
off all hopes Of crops, in this part Of the country
There will not be, it is supposed, by good judg-
es who have been in different parts of the coun-
ty, more than wheat enough raised in Berkeley
to seed the lands with, in the fall, and supply
its inhabitants with bread. Added to this pros
pect of scarcity in the wheat crop, we have had,
for the last two weeks, an almost continued rain,
which has destroyed much ofthe corn, thus ma
king the probability of want, for bread stufs, for
the coming year, doubly sure.

VExATIoUs.-S Since the Administration party
have gotten a majority in the Senate, it has been
the boast OF its organs, that it could no,c carry
out its measures in erienso, which: previously,
il had been deferred from dong. The following
paragraph, however, from the great Globe,
would seem to indicate, that with all its boosted
strength, there is yet something that operates as
drawba upon the designs OF those in power.
"The President has measures in operation TO
increase the gold currency 10 upwards of Itcen-
tn Millions of dollars by the end of his admins.
traton and il is still believed that he will effect
il but il cannot be dissemblcd that the opposi-
ton in the two Houses is yet strong enough to
parayzc the administration-to stop the wheels
Of Government"
What pity, that the Clays. Webstcrs, Cal
houns. Leighs, and Ewings, in the Senate-and
the Wses, Hardins, Whittleseys, and Peytons,
in the House, should be permitted to remain
where they but embarrass the administration OF
the Greatest aud Best. Really, it must be a
weak cause, that cannot support itself against the
resistance of the opposition party in Congress,
when the administration has majority in both
Houses. Had this majority but good cause 10
support, while lending its aid TO the administra-
ton, all the opposition of the minority would be
triumphantly fellcd to the ground, as grass be-
fore the scythc Of the mower; but as il is, a
minority lsboring in a good cause, palsies and
cripples it, in its efforts to trfle with the inter-
csts Of the country.

THE WEsT.-Onc Of the surest evidences Oh

try Of the rapidity with which il is becoming
populated and Of the success that attends The
efforts Of those who leave the older states, In
search Of the r fortunes, in its wildernesses and
prairics, is the reception, now and then, OF some
new paper, tina, has been established in some oil
the towns that are daily springing up IN thai
country. Three or four years ago, the town oil
Dubuque, in Wisconsin Territory, was unknown

tion all, apparently, as well established as those
Of like pursuits in the long settled villages Of OIL
der parts the Union. The tide of emigration
is pouring into Wisconsin with greater rapidly
tins season than il ever has before. Steam Boats
to the number Of %, have arrived at Dubuque
in one week, all freighted with emigrants from
the East, to the fertile regions Of the West
where, under their direction, cultivation will
soon cover the face of the carth-towns and CT
ties spring up as if by magic and civilization
hold its triumphant reign. But few years
since, within the recollection of many now liv-
ing, the country occupied by the state OF Ohio,
was an entire wilderness inhabited only by the
untamed Indian, who roamed unmolested through
its interminable forests in search Of his game or
upon the trail Of his enemy. But how is il now
The forests have disappeared beneath the axe of
the white man, and the Indian, unable TO live in
the neighborhood ofthe pale face, has hied him
farther towards the setting sun. Cities and towns
have sprung up where the forest once covered
the face of the land, and The hum Of the maui
factory has superseded the yell OF the wild beast
and the savage. The Canoe that glided silently
down the stream, has given way to the noisy
Steam Boat that ploughs its rivers. or the SPLEEN
did packe! that glides along the lines Of canal
that intersect all parts of the state, whilst the
long and tedious journey that once consumed ma
ny days Of weary travel, is now per formed with
the speed Of wind along road Of iron. Such is
Ohio-Such is our whole country--and such il
few years will be Wisconsin, and the whole
west. The tide of population will continue to
roll on, aud on--'ihe west' will continue to re.
cede, till those who shall go to inhabit its fertile
lands will find themselves standing upon the
wave washed shores of the Pacific.
