THE STAR. s..
BY ANN s. sTePHeEs,

what thou vast, my fancy made thee,
What thou art, know too late. e.'-Byron
A star is beaming through thOt cloud,
That dark and gloomy cloud, >aN
Like a good heartthat yieldeth not, ('5
When sorrows nearest crowd.
In aofi and mellow radiance falls,
Down to each leaf and flower, .-F'sA I
Which thy kind hand, my gentle friend,
Z Has lavishsd on this bower.
There pale and all alone il Shines
In the autumnal sky; .
A world, aparadise Perchance,
But still mYsteryi
And here in this my chosen rest,
Through the lone, Silly night,
l ponder with thrill Of awe,
Upon that world Of light.
When death shall come with icy grasp,
As come full soon he wilti
Whom this full heart, with all its faults,
Is lying cold and still:
When the damp. green sod is over ine,
and friends t0gotiui are,
Then wilt thou come, my gentle friend,
And gaze upon that star!
Come with thy pure and holy thoughts,
To this sweet place offlowers,
And think other whose home will be
In the eternal bowers
OF that pale star, which shineth OUT
So beautiful and and lone,
Like the radiance Of Yestal's lamp,
Above an alter>stone.
A prayer is stealing from my heart->
A sad and mournful prayer
That when God calls my spirit hence,
Its haven may be there,
With tuneful birds, and leafy trees,
And flowers of sunny birth,
And those dear friends, my heart has tovet
So fervently on earth.
Deprived Of these. that far, bright world
Would be no place of bliss.
Ny heart would turn with lingering love
To those it LEFT in this.

MR.. VAN BUREN, AND THE
LATE WAR.

LA Il w AN.
lfthere is any thing upon which the
organ Of the Wing party have expended
more falsehood and misrepresentation
than another, il is in relation to the
course pursued by Mr.. Van Buren, du-
ring the late war. And more particu-
larly has this been the case in the West
and the South West, where il is suppo>
sed that the people are, to a,,great ex-
tent, ignorant Of that course. We per-
ceive by a late number of the Cincinnati
Republican, the subject has again been
revived, with the came unserupulous.dis
regard ofiruih and honesty as herelo-
lore. Mr. Van Buren, is represented to
have been an enemy 10 the war, and 10
the administration ofM Madison. So
far from this being the fact, he was one
Of the most decided, enthusiastic and
powerful advocates ofan appeal TO arms
in support Of our invaded rights. l,
was by his aid, that the patriot Tomp-
kins was enabled to bring The great
State Of New York to the support of!he
General Government. when lis arm " as
almost paralyzed by the iederalists Of
New England, and by Webster and his
ssocia,es in Congress. II was in this
dark hour-in the campaign Of 1918,
when the federal party controlled the
popular branch of the N. Y. Legislature
being thereby enabled TO thwart all the
measures Of the Governor and Senate,
of which Mr.. Van Buren, was a mem-
Der the, he drafted powerful address
the people of that State of which the
following are extracts:-M. Courier.
"FELLow cITIzENs:-Itis not TO the |
arbitrary mandates Of despotic power,
that your submission is demanded; it is
not to the seductive wiles aud artfnl
Establishments of.he corrupt minions of
aristocracy, that your attention is cal

oflhe wishes and feelings o! your rep

stralagem, and who seek no influence
with you, except that which arises from

In makiug this appeal, which is sane
usage, aud the necessity Of
which is rendered imperiOus by the sit-
alton of our common country, we feel it
TO be our duty,as it is our wish, to

BY go doing we shall be so fortunate as
to convince you Ofihs correctness Of
