Sacr!fce Of Human. Life BY sea, by shore, by field
by nood' every days outrage and sacrifice Of human
lie, scken the heart for poor humanity. and the dire
mishaps that flesh is heir to. Cannot the melancho
~ catalogue arouse feelings or national response
to yindicae the acerated the untimey doom of suffer
ing mortals, launched into eternity Is life thing
OF no concern fit only to be sported with Sad sick
enIng thought! And yet deluded man, full of conf
dence and hope, commits himself to the sad destnes
that proved so treacherous his rnin-What country
where reason rules or human prudence is consulted SO
prodgal of life, so reckless ofconseqnences In quest
OF pleasure, or bent pecuniary advantage man
rnshes thonghtessy destruction, like eetnp cloud
that dots the horizon, and resigns existence Where
on where shall distracted hope direct her weeping ewes
Tor cure and remedy Shall we not look to the wis
dom OF the national councils, the anchor of our hone
and palladium of safety Yes, and let the unani
nous voice of the nation go forth in universal
preston of adherence for the sad destruction Of hu
man life, that has thousands within the brief space
OF one year to untmey grave, and left the hapless
parent or weeping orphan to the sad berea ve-
ment. This melancholy subject has become nation
al IN It's character, Of mighty import to the whole
Union, but OF more abiding interest to the west the
scene Of suffering and disaster, where the genius of
Fulton has worked good and evil to thousands. If
any subject ever addressed itself to Congress with pe-
GUITAR force and fitness, it is this Oh for an Ames
that would arouse feeling, and awaken sympathy in
every breast beyond the mountains, by the thunder of
MS eloquence II has been passed over too long for
.he credit OF the nation, and now, it were forces

now do not be after saying or thinking
that am an Irishman myself; for on my
word and honor as a gentleman, this is
not the case but justice to whom justice

Thy life is in its day-spring hues,
And Joy and hope are round thee,
And Beauty's fowery coronal
With light and love has crowned thee
There is no cloud upon thy sky,
That bends abovethy path-the ar
With kindest touch breathes gently by
Thy cheek, and leaves its incense there
And, lady-bright-bo ever bright
Thy promise of the morrow;
Thine be the day-spring of the heart
Without its night of sorrow,
And if the storms of life shall shroud
Thy skies, so beautiful and far,
May Loves bright sun but touch the cloud r
