is THERE AN UNBELIEvER.


BY THOMAS HAYNES BAILEY.
Is there an unbeliever?
One man who walks the earth,
And madly doubts that Providence
Watched DER him al his birth
He robs mankind for ever
OF hope beyond the tomb;
What gives he as recompense
The brute's unhallow'd doom.
In manhood's loftiest hour,
In health and strength and pride,
Oh lead his steps through valleys green,
Where rills mid cCwslips glide;
Climb Natures granite tower,
Where man hath rarely trod;
And will he then, in such scene,
Deny there is Code
Yes-the proud heart will ever
Prompt the false tongues reply
An Omnipresent Providence
Still madly he'll deny;
But see the unbelever
Sinking in deaths decay;
And hear the cry of penitence
He never learnt to pray

Poetry.
From the Youths Keepsake.

From the Youths Keepsake
THE cHILD's WISH in SUMMER.
Mother, Mother, the winds are at play,
Prithee, let me be idle to-day.
Look, dear mother, the flowers all lie
Languidly under the bright blue sky.
See, how slowly the streamlet glides;
Look, how the violet roguishly hides;
s Even the butterfly rests on the rose,
And scarcely sips the sweets as he goes.
Poor Tray is asleep in the noontide sun,
And the flies go about him one by one;
And pussy sits near with sleepy grace,
Without ever thinking of washing her face.
There flies bird to a neghboring Tree,
But very lazily flieth he,
And he sits and twitters gentle note,
That scarcely ruliles his little throat.
You bid me busy-but, mother, hear
How the hum-drum grasshopper soundeth
near
And the soft west wind is so light in its play
1t scarcely moves leaf on the spray.
wish, Oh wish, was yonder cloud,
That sails about with its misty shroud;
Books and work no more should see,
And I'd come and float, dear mother, DER
thee.

For sure no statesmen in the land
Such matters better understand.


Such matters better understand.
Your views would cen the learn'd surpriz
They're so profound, judicious, wise
In party's purest light you see
All things--and hence agree with me.
The Democratic sense is sound,
And to the sub is coming round,
On that the nations fate depends
And if it fails, our freedom ends
For twill be one of those solutions
That sweep from earth free institutions.
But have faith--It must succeed
II cannot desc CAM has said.
But CAM may now more justly doubt IT,
Since he's no more TO say about II.
The bankrupt law recommended,
Somehow or other got suspended.
The States, sagacious, saw the snare
And would not touch single hair
But let that pass-And let me here,
Once more return my thanks sincere,
For all you've said, and yet may say,
'Twixt this and next election day.
For all you've done, and yet may do,
And for your cordial welcome too.

One OF the most powerful curses of high

Of having no moment except those intended

From the Harrisburg Tele Iraph.

The Presidents Eiectioaeering Tour.
President Van Buren, arrived in Harrisburg
on Saturday last, took lodgings at Nagle's
Hotel, went TO church on Sunday, and depart
ed on Monday for New York by way of sold
democratic Berks.n
Had Mr. Van Buren, come among us as the
President of the United States, he would GER
tainy, as the highest officer in the nation, have
been entitled to the respect and attention of all
good citizens. But instead of so doing, he
seemed TO travel exclusively as the head
ola party, seeking votes TO re-elect him to the
station he now occupies and disgraces. Com
mittees Of Loco Focos waited on him as par
tizans, and were SO received-addressed him
letters as his party friends, and were answer
ed in the same spirit Crowds of his party
friends Hooked TO pay homage TO him, it being
given out thatthey were particularly welcome.
In short, he degraded himself till even Bu-
chanan was eclpsed by his partizan and dem
agoguical behavior.
The President travelled in plain carriage,
accompanied by his son. The splendid Euro
pean coach and lyeried servants were Judi
ciously left at Washington for fear of offend
ing the "prejudices" of republican Pennsyl-
vania. We never witnessed a more papabe
effort at humbuggery; but we understand that

if il had never been the scene of strife and an

and the elements have sunk TO repose. Til,

TO The Editor Of the N Y American

Sir--On reading the address Of the Chair
man Of the Democratic COMMITTEES TO the Pres
ident ofthe United States, on his landing at
Castle Garden and the Presidents reply there
to, il struck me that it might be doing favor
to the Democratic party, and service to the
public, to give metrical version of those I'M
premedtaied, but beautiful productions.
One Of the advantages OF rhyme, is the aid
which il gives to the memory and ii has been
thought to possess some superiority over prose
in its capacity to express ideas and sentiments
in fewer words.
enclose you the result of my labors, with
this additional remark, that although something
may be lost in the effort at condensation, yet
no pains have been spared TO render this met
