MORAL ~ RELIGIOUS.

THE GRAVE. How little reflection is expend
ed upon--yet how much is called for by the
grave-by the lowiest hillock that is piled over
the icy bosom, by the grassiest hollow that has
sunk with the Wondering bones of fellow
creature And in this narrow haven rots the
bark that has poughed the surges of the great
vital ocean! in this little den, that the thistle
can overshadow in days growth, and the
molewarp undermine in an hour of labor, is
crushed the spirit that could enthral world, and
dare even a contest with destiny! How little
it speaks for the value of the existence which
man endures so many evils to prolong; how
much it reduces the significance of both the
pomp and wretchedness of being, reducing all
its vicissitudes into the ndistingushable identity
which infinite distance gives to the stars--a point
without parallex, speck, an atom Such is
lfe-the grasp of child that inspires the air of
existence but once--a single breath breathed
from eternity. But the destiny that comes be-

high! .......
And.who were the patieS untodf
,Twas the Sun and the Moon! in the halls ofthe sky
They were joined, and our continent witnessed the
tie;
No continent else was invted!
The courtship was tedious for seldom thoy met
Tete a-tete, whilst long centuries glided,
But the warmth Of his love she could hardly forget,
For though distant afar; he would smile on her yet,
Save when earth the fond couple divided
But why was the courtship prolix' and why
So long was postponed their connection?
That the bridegroom was anxious 'twere vain to de-
ny,
Since the heat of his passion pervaded the sky;
But the bride was renowned for-rehection.
Besides. it's reported their friends all vexed,
The match was deemed somehow unequal,
And when bid to the wedding, each made some
To decline, till the lovers worn out and perplexed
Were compelled to elope in the sequel.
Mars and Jubiter such business could bear,
So they haughtily kept themselves from it;
Herschell dwell at such distance, he could not be
there;
Saturn sent, with reluctance, his Ring TO the fair
BY the hand of a trust worthy commet.
Only one dim, pale planet, of planets the least,
Condescended these nuptuals to honor;
And shat seemed like skulkins away to the East;

Whilst carreerng through regions of light at his

All her splendor and glory from him she derives,
And she shews to the world, that the kindness he

BY HON. CHIEF JUSTICE MELLEN, MAINE.
CHI ystals where are your recesses,
Where the home Of your repose,
When tho world around caresses,
And the heart no sorrow knows?
Then the eye is bright and cleaning
AS summers smiling day;
Joy and peace may there be beamng,
Still unnfuenced by your sway.
Why should sudden bursts of feeling,
Why should transport, flood the eyes'
Why, when from your fountains stealing,
Do ye flow, mid rapture's sighs'
Where's the fount, whence peace and anguish
Calls ye forth for their relief?
Causing agony to languish
into deep and dark ming grief
Chrystal tears, so freely pouring,
Prompt their duty to perform,
Tell when gentle gales blowing
Round the heart, and when the storm;
Messengers of gladness, rushing,
Bearing orders from the heart;
Showering cheeks in beauty blushng,
Laughing at the painters art,
Messenger of deepest sorrow,
From the seat of cruel pain
Hoping still relief tomorrow,
While hopes promises are vain!
Messengers offender passion,
Melting sympathy and love,
Hearts oerAowIng with compassion,
Warmd with influence from abovs.
Messengers from hearts desparing,
And from Conscience, in alarm,
Its frightful catalogue preparing,
And no aid from mortal arm;
Messengers from hearts repenting,
Washing out the stains of sin;
Mercy smiling-Heaven assenting-
Peace around and peace within!

St. Johnsbury, VI. Oct. IL, 1888.

The following statement is from gentleman
who has one of these machines in operation for
some time, and recommends them highly:
IL have had one of "Mcllishs Potatoe Cutters
in use, and consideri it of the most useful ma
chimes ever invented, and think no farmer, VIII
values the lives of his CATTLE his own interest,
should be without one They will cut more potn-
toes in thin slices in one hour, than a man could
cut with a knife in two days. l find that potatoes
cut in this machine will boil soft in about half the
time of whole ones, thereby making grent saving
of fuel and labor. The machine cuts potatoes,
turnps, cabbage sumps, (squashes and pumpkins
when cut into quarters with spade) with the same
facility and ease that it does potatoes"
This certifes that have used Mellishs Veg
etabe Cutter for two yaars, and can recommend it
the public a very useful machine, superior to
an, thing of the kind within knowledge.

INFLUENCE OF PUBLIC OPINION

Every form Of government except that of Repnblic
has III its nature quality that enables the rulers TO make
the multitude submit to their will; with us that particu-
property which is the true power Of the country is
independent Of any snch WILL and regulates rescinds
every measure that is undertaken. That influence is
public opinion. Kings command subsidies from their
subjects, and they obey; they pass laws that weigh
down the rights of the people. and they subm genera
ion after generation toerates these enactmens, and at
length they are removed only by revolutions.
In the United States public opinion, acting in all the
ramifcaons of society, and formed upon full investi-
cation Of the subject raises its mperous voice. and cry
ing aloud confirms the things that right or in the
majesty Of its strength bots out and annhilates the
| things it has condemned
No revolutions necessary here, where anati-
cism too blind to and too dull to heed puts udg
ment aside, and, Drawing the voice of public opinion,
sets up its pgmy powers to defy it. The resistance is
but for day. for all things, factions, yel in due
seasorfto its control
It is the only Moloch in our land, and it is Of
many mouths, which make victims Of all who oppose.
IF then power and even the laws obliged to
cumb to this mighty spirit, how weak those who 10
party purpose, attempt TO resist its will Does
not public sentiment proclaim to in Office
aversion TO the employment Of foreigners Does it not
cry aloud against condng the archives nd secrets of
our government to foreigners?
Has it not uttered its Indignation time after time that
the inventive genius Of country, our improvements,
and patents should be in the hands of foregners Is il
not manifesting its disgust that public buildings
public grounds our trees, and the productions Of our
handicra should be placed in the keeping Of foreigners
All this strue. Why, then it may be asked DO men,
having in the contingent changes Of the times but an un
certain hold upon office, endeavo vainy to strengthen
themselves by putting into the places Of Natives the

PATENT OFFICE AND PUBLIC GROUNDS.

When men having little authority exercise it against
the will, and in defiance OF The community, they become
antagonists 10 that community and must not expect many
lavors at It's hands Such seems TO be the position in
which the Superintendent OF the Patent Office and the
Commissioner Of the Public Buildings have placed them
selves. We do not desire to njure those officers as IN
dvidnals; on the contrary have heretofore wished
them every success but they should remember that in
Introducing great number OF foreigners as they have
into their respective offices, they have wounded the
pride and sensbilities of their fellow countrymen and
have Indicted modification upon their feelings which
