BY JOHN WHITTIER.
alt hath been as it were thing especially rem
,red unto me and made plain and legble to M
that great worshipis going on anon
lie things of God. Garth.
The Ocean looketh up to Heaven,
As 'twere a blessed thing
The homage of its waves is given
In ceaseiess worshipplng.
They kneel upon the sloping sand,
AS bends the human knee
A beautiful and treless band,
The priesthood of the sea!
They pour the glttering treasures out
Which in the deep have birth,
And chant their awful hymns about
The watching hills of Earth.
The green Earth sends its incense up
From every mountain shrine,
From every flower and dewy cup
That greeteth the sunshine.
The mists are lifted from the rlIs
Like the white wing Of prayer,
They lean upon the ancient hills
As doing worship there.
The forest tops are lowly cast
Ger breezy hill and glen,
AS if a prayerful spirit passed
On nature as on men.
The clouds weep DER the fallen world,
Even as repentant love,
Ere to the blessed breeze unfurled
They fade in light above.
The sky is as a temples arch,
The blue and wavy air
Is glorious with the spirit march
OF messengers of prayer,
The gentle moon--the kiudling sim
The many stars are given,
As shrinss 10 burn earths incense on
The altar fire of Heaven!

PROVED PLOUGHS.

TVNHE subscribers give notice that they have COM

PLOUGHS invented and improved by John Moore
I'd, and Joseph Mason. The business will be car
red on under the firm of Moore, Mason, Gilman
IL Co. The proprietors have furnished themselves
with the best of materials and are determined that
their ploughs shall be equal in style and quality TO
any made in the country. These ploughs the sub
scrbers believe 10 be in several important respects
decidedly superior to any others now IN use They
are so constituted as to turn the turrow smoother
ond even without breaking, and will require much
less team than the poughs in common use. The
share is so attached that it can be easily removed
and another put on, by turning one screw. There
is also shoe the land side of the plough which
when worn can easily be replaced by new one,
which will serve TO make the ploughs much more
durable. The proprietors not wishing to pay for
long advertisements will only add few recommen-
dations from persons who have witnessed the oper-
alton of these poughs Said ploughs first pre-
scented to the public at the Caledonia County Cat
tie Fair holden at ST. Johnsbury on the 18th day of
October 1887, when, after fair trial with several
other ploughs which were presented, the Committee
awarded 10 John Moore I'd of Barnet, the premium
for the best plough. Said premium was awarded by
Henry Stevens, President, Leonard Harrington,
William Shearer and Timothy O. Fuller, Commit
tee ploughs.
In answer letter written to Lucius kimball Esq.
of 81. Johnsbury, he writes as follows
"Agreeably to your request cheerfully give my
opinion of the breaking up plough made and in
vented by moore ana mason OF barnet. IL Is de-
cidedly the best have used for breaking up
on an upland farm; it requires less team and does
the work much better. 1t has exceeded my expec-
tatIons, and do not hesitate to recommend it to
the farming public.
Respectfully yours &c.
LUCIUS KIMBALL.

THE RICHMOND ENoUIRER's OPINION

"But we cannot agree with the Senator from
Tennessee in feeling no great solici ude about the
details because we do not approve the machinery
Of the Sub Treasury bill, with lis hard money, its
Sub. Treasures and its Receivers. Nor can we 60
with Mr. Calhoun, in denying the conSttu ional
right of the Federal Government to use the Stale
Banks as repositories or to receive their paper for
the public dues. This is indeed new discovery.
II has grown up in The teeminS hot bed OF his meta
phys i genius, and involves proposition, which
i directly at war with the whole practice OF the go
vernmenl and even with his own section of the Sub
Treasury bill. 1t involves, indeed, this extraordi-
nary contradiction, viz Congress has no right TO
authorize the receipt OF blnk notes; and yet Mr..
Calhoun would violate the Consii ution for six years

leader in such posilionSwe will not.

TEMPERANCE ANNIVERSARY.

The Anniversary Of the National Tempe
rance Society, Of which the Hon. FELIX
GRUNDY, Of the U. 8. Senate, from Tenn. is
President, held their annual meeting on Tues
day evening. which was attended by bril-
liant, crowded and attentive audience, and adj
dressed by several distinguished members o
Congress, as well as by the Hon. ]. s. Buck
INcHAM, late member Of the British Parlia-
nient.
Before this distinguished stranger addressed
the audience, several gentlemen made re-
marks and submitted resolutions, suited to the
occasion. The short speech Of the Hon. Mr..
Read, Of Mass, was very appropriate and elo-
quent, the alusion to the distinguished guest
and the common country Of their ancestors,
very happy.
Mr.. Buckingham addressed the meeting at
great length and went into statistics Of in
temperance throughout Europe, generally.
The cost Of intemperance in the United King
dom is almost incredible, and its fiightlul con-
sequences, not less so.
Mr.. Buckingham said, he appeared but as
witness in this cause and, TO render his testi-
mony the more impressive and forcible on the
subject of intemperance, he gave brief histo-
ny Of his career from the age Of eight or ten
years, when he entered the maritime service,
TO twenty-one, when he became commander,
and to thirty-fiye, when he left the service.
Since then he has been distinguished as
traveller in the East, as W, II as a member of
Parliament; and is now on his way TO explore
the Western Continent.
He is apparently about ffiy-Gve, perhaps
sixty, years Of age and though not a inc:nat-
ing, yet jealous and winning, ce tainly,
most intelligent speaker. He owes much of
the energy us well as henevolence of his cha
racter to his early habits Of life in the maritime
service, where he gained command by learn
ing to obey, and learnt the luxury Of doing
good Ivy suffering hardships and privaiions.
Let the reader bear in mind, that il was on
the ocean, amidst storms aud tempests, perils
and prvations, that Mr.. Buckingham qualified
himself as member ofthe British Parliament.
And be it also borne in mind, that the Navy
and Army have furnished the British nation
with many Of her most enlightened statesmen,
and eloquent orators. Let our country follow
the example.
