POETS AND POETRY OF AMERICA.
7 UST published by CARY & HART, Philadelphia
The Poets and Poetry of America, with an His
torical Introduction, by Rufus W. Griswold, in one
large octave volume, handsomely printed fine
paper and illustrated by portraits of Bryant Sprague
Longfellow, Dana, and Halleck, and beautiful
vignette.
X" This is the most valuable publication Of the sea-
son. No collection of American Poetry has ever
been made at all comparable to this, whether
gard the completeness of the work, the taste dis
PLAYED in the srlcIton. The work comprises selec
lions are nrsa:ed hv neat hn:s YrGdS
Appendix contained selections from various Au-
hors who, without pretending to the rank of Poets,
have yet written occasional verses. Where the poet
h published edition Of his works, the selec
tons are comparatively few; but where the author
has lett his works to take of themselves, the
tracts have been more vouminous This is a praise
worthy feature since il preserves for us in collected
iorm the works of Whittier, Sprague, and others.
The longest poems of Drake, Sprague and Whittier
appear III this collection. We dismiss this national
work with the assurance, that every American who
loves his country's muse will possess himself of an
early copy. n-Saturddy Post.

"GO RIGHT OFF"

! was present, recently, in one Of the
Sabbath schools Of this city, when the exer-
cises were concluded by an excellent adj
dress from the superintendent. lie com
meuccd his remarks by asking the children
10 mention the second petition in the
Lords Prayer. A sweet voice, from II
class Of liilIe girls, was heard to reply
g Thy will be done on earth as il is in
heaven"
"WeIl, 'as it is in heaven bu, how is
the will Of God done in heaven r. said the
superintendent. " How do the angels do
the will of God2 Do they act rs # they
wanted to d" something else, when God
tells them TO do any thing! Do they stop,
and hesitate and act as if they didn't like
to d" Ml llow do they dot"
"Go right off," was the prompt answer
81 little boy eight or nine years Of age
Yes they go right off, and that is the
way the will Of God must be done ON earth
1t must be done Immediately. As soon as
we know the will Of God we must do it,"
The simple but emphatic reply of this
little scholar arrested my attention, and
suggested M Important principle of action
-" Go right SG,'-,Iat is. obey promptly.
II will nat be denied that prompiness "'
obedience is one Of the first lessons which
a child should learn, and yet. such is the
neglect Of parents and guardians Of youth
aud their insensibiliiy with respect To il
importance, that this is, in fact, one Of the
last lessons which is really and thorough,
taught. PrompIness is essential to the spir.
i. of true obedience, for SO long as u child
delays to obey parent VIII" has given q
command, SO long That child is virtual,

by n rcbclIious spirit, aud every moment

indulgence of his ssli-will, aud allows tie

From Rhymes and Roundclays" by John Neal
THE PAUPER's DRIVE.
There's grim onehorse hearse in jolly round trot
TO the churchyard pnuper is G ling, wot;
The road it is rough, and the hearse has no springs
And bark to the dirge that the sad driver sings:
Rattle his homes over the stones,
He's only pauper whom no body owns"
Oh! where are the mourners alas there are none !;
lie has left not gap in the world. now he's gone;
Not tear in the eye Of child. woman, or man.
To the grave with his carcase as fast as you can:
Rattle his bones," &c.
What jo',ing and creaking, and spashng and din!
lie whip how 1t cracks: and the wheels how they
How The dirt, right aud Jeff sr the hedges is hurd
The pnupcr at length makes noise in The world
Rattle his bones" &c.
Poor panper defunct lie has made some approach
To genliilty, now that he's stretched in coach
He's taking drive in his carriage at last
But it will IT We long, if he drives on SO fast.
Rattle his bones &c.
You pumpkins! who stare at yonr brother conveyed,
Behold what respect to coddy is paid,
Aud be joy think, when by death you re laid low
You've a chance to the grave like gemlnan to go!
Rattle his bones,'' &c.
But truce to this strain; for my soul it is sad
To think tat heart, in humanity clad,
Should make, like the brutes such desoate end,
And depart from the Igh, without leaving friend
Bear softly his bones the stones;
Though pauper, he's one whom his Maker ye
owns!"

TO MY SISTER.

Our home was bright and stately once amid New.

Where lowered the elm.rrre and the pine, where
dashed the sparkling rIIs-
But have we loved each other less this fair prairie

And do our songs less swestly sound beside our cot

and fair
And the hreezes came caressiney and played amid
But does not Sprinctime in the West bring buds and
fragrance too?
And not the refreshing wind from heavens
more clear and blue
In that far distant plgrimand we heard the Sabbath
bell,
AS in our fields and quiet lanes its siIverv cadence fell
But are our hymns less unefu here, less tervent are
our PRAYERS,
Because church within these wds ruder aspect
wears
We have old lingering memories Of some young
scEool'dav friend.
And Oft Sc thai once fond face the latent wish We
blend
But do not friendships every where spring up like
petumed flowers?
And looks and Of love around US all our
hours
Then from the circle of our love, why, sister, steal
away2
Can we not lure YOU with our locks and early songs
To stay
Will you tolsake your wonted nook by our warm in
gle.side,
And leave your fathers fostering care, to he ano,hers
bride2
When unite our evening hymn, and raise our
blended PRAYER,
Twill strange and unfamiliar SEEM for you will not

And when The nightly blessing falls on each bowed
head from Heaven,
You wlll be With ~ swell the grateful tribute

THE CLAY BARBECUE.

Our friend of the Athens Courier hits oft the Clay
barbecue in admirable style. Hear him
OF all the dinners ever heard of lately there
is about the late Clay dinner near Lexington SOME
thing more ludcrous more vain more foolish, and
more extravagant, than any thing we ever read of,
heard of, or ever saw. Only think of white VIR-
GIN HEIFER' imported from England for Mr..
Claws dinner, at a cost of $500
Was there no Kentucky beef suitable for Harry of
the West Must he needs be fed on British beef
90, the roast beef of old England !" How much
more palatable was it to Harry than good fat Ken
lucky beef Kentucky beef was too common dish
for he great western. An imported white virgin
heifer from England was rare dish, and the only
one suitable for Harry of the West; nothing less
will suit him. The greater portion of the company,
however, had to dne-we presume-on Kentucky
beef There was not enough of the white virgin
heifer' from England to supply the whole company.
Wonder if there was any of the virgin hefers' OF
Kentucky slain for that great Clay dinner? Virgin
heifers must make good beef.
sThe fat is so white, the lean is ruddy
IT'S a very fit subject for Harry to study"
The Wings promised the working people Of the
United States roosi beef and too dollars day." Il
General Harrison elected. This promise OF

get the roast beef The two dollars day rs also
confined to but few, and those few the least needy
Democrats have been turned out by scores, to make

THE HOME LEAGUERS.

"Resoued, That duty imports is not tax on the
consumer of the articles imported to the amount OF
the duties levied in any case and in many instances
does not tax the consumer at all but lo,oers the as-
Gle in the foreign market to the duties leuied by u.s.
The above is specimen of the wisdom OF
the Home League, and was adopted unanimous.
w at the late Convention for the State OF Ohio,
held at Columbus on the 4th ult. 1t merely as
serts that high duty is no tax on the consum-
er, because the foreign manufacturer toner's the
price of his merchandise so to sell 1t at the
same rate as if the duty remained as before.
How this logic tumbles to the ground when pro-
perly examined If the resolution is correct IN
its statement, then the home manufactures is
not protected at all and if high duty will not
protect the manufacturer, why do the Home
Leaguers insis, upon any Tariff. In their great
desire to carry out the doctrine of the Lord OF
Ashland, they have gone beyond their depth,and
exploded all their arguments by one grand
though extremely nonsensical faur pas.

FOR THE MADISONIAN.


At meeting ofthe Wing Electors, of the town Of
Sharon, county of Litch6eld and State of Connect-
cut, friendly to the present Administration, holden
on the 18th of July, Judson st. John, Esq, was
called to the Chair, and Henry Waterman, appointed
Secretary.
The meeting having been organized, and its OBJ
ects stated, the following resolutions, expressive of
its sentiments, were offered and unanimously adopted
Resolved That the members of this meeting, who,
in the great political campaign of 1910, cast their
sufrages for John Tyler, Of Virginia, Vice Presi-
dent of the United States have seen no reason to
| change the opinion which they then entertained Of
his ability, patriotism and strict adherence to the
principles of Jefersonian democracy.
Resolued That it is with mingled emotions of grief
and indignation, that we have witnessed the vile at
tacks of politicians and presses, claiming to be Wing,
upon the distinguished statesman at the head of
the Government, whose only crime is conscientious
attachment to the strict principles of the Consttu-
ton.
Resolued, That in the opinion of this meeting the
real voice of the Wing people, is drowned by the
camor of oice-holders, who like deceitful serpents,
sting the hand that feeds them.
Resolped That we hold with the ilustrious Wash
ngton, tthat for an Administration to retain men in
Office opposed to its principles, and striving for its
destruction aspecies of political suicides" and we do
earnestly call for thorough and radical reform, par
the country believing it to be the great engine of po
| litica power
Resolued, That the attempts made by the majority
of the present Congress- to ''head" the President,
have resulted in the behsadng of themselves, and we
would be particularly happy if the Representative
from this district in particular, would give wronged
and nsuted constituency, opportunity to express
at the polls their opinion of his conduct
| ResoIued, That the expression of President Tyler
in his late Veto Message Of his readiness to sign a
bill for protective Tariff, only exposes in stronger
light the depravy of those, who would sacrifice the
interests of the country for the spteful purpose Of
"heading' him with redistribution cause,"a most
miserable device to buy the people with their owr
money.
| ResoIued, That do most respectfully assure the
President of our sympathy and support, in the pre-
sent crisis, and only request the removal of his
our worst political enemies, from posts used tt
assaI his Administration, with the concentrated bit
terness of malicious hate and to suggest the propri
ETY. of their being occupied by "Tyler Wings" who
would if properly countenanced, and placed in suit
able positions of defence, gladly rally by thousands
for the protection of honest principles and enght
ened patriotism.
Resolved, That the proceedings of this meeting BIZ
signed by its officers, and published in the Pario
and Eagle, and the Madisonan.

uFA correspondent asserts that 'Mr Colt'
by his submarine battery, can raise any given
weight by its own power;' and probably, the
heavier it is, the higher and easier he can raise
it, If this be true, the Lord of Ashland ought
at once to employ Mr.. Colt to go through the
country and get up his popularity, which would
soon be sky-high, as there are few things at
present much heavier. A friend at our elbow
thinks he ought to be employed by some Sena-
tors and Representatives to raise them by-thelr
own opinions Of themselves This would be
altogether impossible, as on the score OF their
own importance they are already entirely be-
yond the reach Of dozen Colts
