TO TIE RAINBOW.

Oh! lovely is the bfili!uni bow
That spans the evening sky,
When every thing looks fair below
And every thing on high;
Where G,r the ,hunt-r pillar rears
its lightning giidcd form;
And 10 the distance disappears
The ensign Of the storm.
Oh! lovely is the brilliant how
That spans tho arch of God,
VIII. n sweet the evening zcphyIs blow
And willows eentl, nod:
When living nature wakes again
To cheer the closing day,
And Flushing roses drink the rain,
And bi"vkle,a babte gay.
OH lovely ia the brilliant bow,
AZ when around The world
High o'er the diving deluge's flow
:'swary outline eprled,
And man beheId with glad surprise
Swift Frightening into form
Itr glorious coiors span the skies
The witness ofthe storm.
CLEAN OIL. sleam on! thou brilliant bow,
And cheer ihs SINGING brcus',
IVhnn rolls the awful thunder low
And sunsets silds the west;
Clean on, ne have seen thee Oft
Above the rolling deep,
When bending brightly IRON a!oh,
Thou Iu,i,d the storm to sleep.

FROM Neutrality-suspicious. from Mon.
evideo of tho 25'h of July, and from Ma
doua Of The lst of August, has been receiv-
ed in New York by the arrival Of the bark
Madona, Capt. Wise. A revolutionary
attempt against Fructuesa Rivera, Presi-
dent Of lheRepublic was made on The Doth
ofJuly by party of insurgents, to the
number of TWO hundred. In the engage
men that cnsued, several were killed on
both sides. The desi en- of the insurgents
was TO restore General Oribe 10 The Presi-
dental Chair, from which he was forci-
bly, elected by Rivera. Small parties OF
revolutionists had made their appearance
in the neishborhool of Madonado. 1.-THE
people," says Capt. Wise, "who have just
recovered from three years. civil war,
were decamping in all directions. Espc
cially the citv authorities were hard 10 be
found. Terror had seized on all. Gen.
Rivera is getting very unpopular, and the
opinion Of all parties was, that he could
not remain long al the head of the govern
ment."

DIED.


In Edgelicld District, on the 24lh ul'.,
in The thirty-ilth year of her age, Mrs.
Mary BLAND. consort of Mr.. Avory
Bland. She left bereavcd and much
troubled husband, aud six children, lu
lament their loss. She was an amiahlc
woman: industrious and benevolent :;
kind and dutiful to her husband a tender
aud alieciionatc mother; kind to her ser
wants, and to all with whom she dealt u,
and was much esteemed by all who knew
her. She was an orderly member Of the
Baptist Church for the last seven or eight
years, and died in full confidence that she
would meet her God in pcace.-Com.
Departed this life, at the Village of
Edgcliell. on the morning Of The 2Gth ult.,
~ The twcnty-scveuth year Of his age.
WILLIAM MOORE BUTLER.
In the life and character Of this cxem-
plary young man, there was much to re.
member, 10 admire, and 20 initiate. Al
though somewhat retiring and taciturn in
his intercourse with society, The sterling
qualities of both his head and heart failed
uoi 10 make favorable and lasting i'm
preston upon his acquaintanccs. ami to
secure for him their cordial and coEfidnc
respect while living, and their unfeigncd
regret for his death. In the various reia-
tions Of private life, his conduct was exem-
plary, and seemed to be the natural of
sprIn@ of "A well regulated sensibiliry. aud
jus,'sense ofpropriery. As man, he was
just and upright; as friend. sincere and
disinteresied; as son. duliful and ai1ec-
tionate; as neighbor. kind aud conci-
liatIng as citizen, faithful and palrio-
tic and as husband and father, iudul.
gent and devoted. Few young men Of his
age have more sisnally or beautifully H.
lusrrated, in his dealings with society, the
truth Of the moral sentiment, that an
Honest man is The noblest work OF
God" or more faithfully pracliscd the re-
quremen,s of the important maxim and
rule of conduct, of doing to others as we
would wish others 10 do to us. AT an
early age he became member ofIl,e Bap.
tist Church, and by his life and conversa.
ton, he illustrated The benign aud reform
ing influence Of The Christian Religion.
His constitution was never robust, anu
having by some accidental exposure, con-
tracied a severe cold, it fastened upon his
lungs, and in a few short months, lermi-
mated his mortal existence in the very flush
and morning Of manhood. In his last
moments he was sisnallv sustained by the
promises ofthe Religion Of CHRIST, which
TO him was an anchor Of hope, aud ofjoy-
full expectation Of those pleasures, which
have been offered to tlose, and of which
those alone can have foretas,e who have
preserved The souls whiteness," and
kept the commandments of GGd.

by my ovcrseer, in the presense of Mr. H..

--an average Of lG0 pounds per hand.
1t may, perhaps, not be amiss 10 state,
that one of my very test hands (reported
sick) did not pick. Five hands were un-

The premium was gallon of whiskcv,
and pound Of tobacco. The officers Of
