But white robed angels, who around him stand,
And wave his spirit TO the better Land!
So living, dying, still our hearts pursue
That loveness which never met view;
Still TO the last the ruling thought will reign,
Nor deem the feeling given given in vain!
For it may be our banshed souls recall,
In this their earthly thrall,
with the sick drerms of exiles) that far world
Whence angels once were hurled
Or it may be, faint and trembling sense
Vague, as permitted by Omnpotence,
Foreshows til Immortal radiance round us shed,
When the imperfect shall be perfected!
Like the chained eagle in his fettered might,
Strainpe npon the heaven his wistful sight,
WHO toward the upward glory fondly springs
With all the vain strength of his shivering wings
So chained to earth, and baiIed-ye so fond
OF the pure sky whech lies so far befond,
We make the attempt to soar in many thought,
Of Beauty born, and into beauty wrought;
Dimly struggle onwards-who shall say
Which glimmering light leads nearest to the Day?

POE T R Y
For the Voice of freedom.

For the Voice of freedom
Weep weep, oh nv country! in Indebtedness weep,
But thy tears cannot when thy shame;
For the doom of the slave, like cloud the deep,
IIangeth darkling and dread Ger thy name.
Thy standard unfurls its broad folds Ger the wave,
In the sunlight of every cline
beacon of hope to the true and the brave,
And foe to Injustice and crime.
But vision of woe overshadows thy PRIDE
And thy cup is commingled with tears;
Like the battles red stain the breast of the tide,
One spot on thy banner appears.
1t gleameth afar, and the nations behold
That spot the flag Of the free,
And scofingly ask if that blood-dabbled fold
An emblem of Freedom can be
They Ask if the symbol of Freedoms ch@"'
If the .fetter is Liberty'S mark
Can We say in reply to their honest dsdain,
That the blood of your brother is dark
They will laugh at the plea, and thy name shall become
A scorn and reproach to the world;
Till the Angel of Vengeance shall hasten thy doom,
And the flag of thy glory be furled.
Weep, weep, oh my country! in pentence weep
And thy tear drops should never be dried,
Till the blood-staiu that geameth redly and Deep
Is washed from thy banner of pride.
Thou vert by the brave, for the home of the free
Be the free then, thy heritage still;
Be home where the slave and the exile may flee
From the scourge of oppression and ILL.,
Thus, thus oh my country thine honor retrieve,
Wash the plague-spot of sin from thy fame;
Nor longer permit that thy children should gricve,
For the cloud that encircles thy name. s. A. E.

We learn from Harrisburg, that no i'm
proyement bill passed the Legislature pre-
vious to adjournment. The Senate refus-
ing to take up the bill passed by the house,
as mentioned in our last, substituting an
entirely different one, in which there were
no appropriation for repairs Of the public
works, which all know were never in so
wretched condition as at the presenltime.
This was done, no doubt, by the whig Sen
ate, for the purpose Of embarrassing the adj
ministralion, and creating feeling along the
lines against ii; but in this they will fail, as
the people will readily discover who is in
fault, and will place the saddle on the right
horse.
