NIGHT.
The winds are chanting requiem,
Fot the dying day;
From the darkling woods voice comes ior'h-
And it seems to say
Hail to the Night The Night!
The hillside oaks sigh moumiully,
BY the storm wind tossed;
Like mourners woe the tombs among,
For the Loved and Lost
Cold is the Graveyard wind
The world is deeply slumbering,
While the starry throng,
In silence steal from the azure depth,
And sweeping along,
Dance measure to night.
How pure how almost heavenly!
Are thoughts that wander
In may scenes of chdhood's hour;
And sou Is may PONDER
When Night regns solemnly.
When the Loved, but not forgotten,
Seem with again;
And the eyes met, that met ofyore,
Oh! Thought sweet then,
Like a vision of Heaven!
Yes--the Night is most beautiful,
Right welcome its gloom;
For the Spirit Of tomorows morn,
Will burst from Nights tomb,
That day may be brighter
The lamps have knded silently,
On Heavens arches blue;
SO Hope filings gems saddened souls,
And sparkling, we view
The future and 1t smiles.
When life IS clounded sun-depared,
Wells in darkness the skies,
Faith shows to hope happier world,
Where storms me- arise,
But all is Heaven! Heaven!

and yet we contend that refusal to pay them
will be sscindling. Nothing more, nor less
1t will in effect be pleading the gambling act,
and will not be one whit better. 1t will be
taking advantage Of a legal bubble, and per-
|petrating great outrage in the name of the
Constitution. A man may loose money at
cards-he may loose 1t on an election, and
give his note for the amount. Every body
knows that the holder ofthe note cannot recov-
er it by suit at law, and yet man who would
go into court and plead the gambling act a.
gainst his note, would be booted at in this
community. So too in regard to minors. =
Minors may and do contract debts every day
for the bread they eat and the clothes they
wear. The creditor cannot recover against
them. They have only to swear they were
minors at the time the debts were contracted
and they are forever discharged from all legal
obligation to pay them. Would not man
who would plead the baby act be branded as a
Assuredly he would, and yet the
locofoco party is struggling might and main
to induce the State of Mississippi to turn

act.' Disguise the question as you may, it is |
plain one of honesty or viIlainy. No dema-
gogueism can change it, no sophistry can hide
its deformity. Swindlers can plead the gamb-
ing act, and the State can repudiate her bonds, |
