TIE Catholic Pilgrim at W'ashingt0n's
Tomb.
A pilgrim knelt at Vernon's tomb,
An aged man was he,
And through the twilight's sacred gloom,
He asked if he was FREE.
"My country's Father" thus he cried;
as mine a traitors blood!
When thou didst lead, twas bravely shed,
BY mountain and by flood.
barred my breast before the foe,
raised our flag on high,
And stcrnly vowed to meet the blow,
To conquer, or to die.
Yet no man called me traitor then,
My sword was in my hand,
And round me focked those valiant men,
The fathers of the land.
When bug!es sang the battle song,
When marshall'd on the field,
Did not my heart beat loud and strong,
For all things but to yield
fought to save from foreign hands,
The soil on which we trod,
That MAN MIGHT RAISE UNFETTER'D HANDS
In woRsnIP TO HIS Con.
Shade of the tomb, shall this be vain,
Must my rights resign!
Snail falsehood fix its deadly stain,
On me and all that's mine?
Tell me, pray, thou mighty dead,
Thou shade of Vernons tomb,
Was it traitors blood shed,
Is this traitors wound!
Let htgots search the scroll Of fame,
The charter of the free,
And blot from thence our CAnnoLL's name
A traitor too was he?
Yes! let our affairs blaze on high,
There's freedom on our brow,
For that in youth, we'd proudly die,
For that we'd perish now.

KEUMMACUER.

AS Abel lay in his blood, and Adam
stood beside the corpse and wept, the cher
ub of Paradise drew near to the father of
mankind, and stood in silence, and his
brow was thoughtful.
But Adam lifted up his voice and spoke !;
els that an image of the race that shall
descend from me !! And shall a brothers
blood, shed by brothers hand, ever stain
the earth again -
The chtrub answered, "Thou sayest
it,"
"Alas with what name then will they
name the horrid deed Z"
"War - with tear in his eye, replied
the heavenly.
Then shuddered the father OF mankind,
and groaning, said, "Ah, why must the
noble and the righteous thus, by the hand
of the unrighteous, fall -
But the cherub was silent.
And Adam continued his lament, and
said, "What now remaineth to me in my
misery, upon the blood-stained earth -
"rhe glance to heaven!'' replied the
cherub, and then he vanished.
But Adam stood until the sun was set.
And when the stars were risen, he opened
his arms towards Orion and the Vain, and
exclaimed, 30 we shining watchers at the
gates of heaven, whittier wander ye so ST.
lently Oh permit mortal to hear the
sound of your voices, and speak to me of
the land which lies beyond you, and Of
Abel the beloved!'
Then the stiffness became yet d. per
around him, and Adam fell upon his face
and worshipped. And he heard in his
heart low voice, "Behold thy son Abel
liveth!
Then went the comforter away, and his
soul was still and full of sadness. Ion.
KINDNESS BETTER THAN FoRCE.-The
following anecdote, which was related by
DR.. Cody, at Common School Conven-
ton in Hampden county. stri.ingly Illus
trates the force of the principle of kinds
ness.
"Many years ago a man went into a
district to keep school, and before he had
been there fortnight, many persons came
to see him, and kindly told him that there
was one bad boy in the school whom it
was necessary to whip every day lead
ing him to infer such was the custom Of
the school, and that the inference Of injus-
tce towards the boy be always drawn,
whenever he should sufer.-The teacher
saw the affair in different light. He treat
ed the boy with signal kindness and ats
tention. At first this novel course seem>
ed to bewilder him he could not divine
his meaning. But when the perseverng
kindness of the teacher begot kindred
sentiment of kindness in the pupil, his We
ny nature seemed 10 change-old impulses
died. new creation of motives supplied
their place. Never was there a more dill
igent, obedient, and successful pupil and
noac. said the reverend gentleman, in con-
Guiding his narrative, that boy is the Chief
Justice of a neigh5oring State The re-
Iator Of this story was himself the actor,
though he modes.ly KEEP. back the fact.
If the Romans Justly bestowed civic
crown upon soldier who had saved the
life Of fellow soldier, in battle, what hon>
ors are too great for teacher who has
thus rescued child from ruin!

A SINGULAR VEGET friend
writes us from Riker's island as follows !;
An amateur fisherman yesterday caught
off this island fine large lobster, having
one claw firmly around the end of what
at first appeared solid cluster of small
oysters, but upon examination they were
found to encircle bottle Theoretically
corked, and filled with liquid which taste
like very old Monongahela whskey. 1t
is the opinion of all who have seen the
bottle that it could not have been in the
water less than fifteen years.

The following medicine will not be
very bad to take, nor will there be much
danger in the use of it, especially if the
directions are followed! None genuine
except those that--gro,O IN the
ground!
"THE IRISH VEGETABLE PlLLs.-We
sec,it stated, and having no doubt of the
truth of the statement, hasten to lay it
before our readers, that good Irish pota-
toes make the most valuable vegetable
pills at present known. This medicine
is admirable in its efects-working kind
ly with the system. and being entirely
digestible. They should be prepared by
roasting till they become 'mealy,' butter
and salt then to be added in proper pro-
portions, or, they may be taken mashed,
hot, with plenty of juice of roasted tur-
key. or any other palatable gravy that
will make them easy to swallow, The
patient must exercise his own judgement
as to the proper quantity to be taken: as
general rule, however, three times a day
will not be too often-exercise in the
open air. after each dose, will be found
highly beneficial"

FALL OF MANNA.-Despatches from
the Turkish America, received at Cons
stantinople, state that copious fall of
mama took place at Aleppo and its
neighborhood On the Sd of May. The
mama, which is in fact tastless seed,
that becomes white like flour after being
kept a while. fell to the depth Of two in
ches. Samples of il were to be chemical
ly analysed at Constantnople. What
adds to the singulari.y of the circumstance
is, that great dearth was prevailing at
the time.
