NIGHT.

ny HENRY s. HAGERT.
Night is the time for rest:
To close in balmy sleep
Tho eyes with pain opprest-
Tho time 10 pray and weep.
Night is the time for dreams:
To rove each fancied plain;
To battle in crystal streams,
Or walk among the slam.
Night is the time for prayer:
To lift the soul above,
While angels wait, to bear
Tho murmured words of love.
Night is the time for thought:
The busy world is still,
When each his couch has sought,
And dreams ther slumbers fill.
Night is the time to die:
When all is hushed in sleep,
To close the weeping eye,
While friends their vigils keep.
Then as the fading sight,
Grows din and still more dim,
To bid the world Goodnight"
And soar TO rest with Him"

THE A OF NIGHT.

Whence are your glorious goings forth.
Ye children Of the sky,
In whose bright silence seems the power.
OF all eternity?
For time hath let his shadow fall
Der many an ancient light;
But ye walk above in the brightness still
Oh, glorious stars Of night!
The yestal lamp in Grecian fame
Hath faded long ago;
On Persia's hill the worshipped flame
Hath lost its ancient glow:
And long the heaven-sent fire is gone,
With Salem's temple bright;
But ye watch DER wandering Israel vet,
Oh. ~changelcss stars of night!
Long have you looked upon the earth,
Der vale and mountain brow:
We saw the ancient cities rise,
And guild their ruins now:
Ye beam upon the cottage home,
The conqueror's path ofmight,
And shed your light alike on all,
Oh, priceless stars Of night!
But where are they who learned from yos
THO fates Of coming time,
Ere yet the pyramids arose
Amid these deserts cline?
Yet still in wilds and derserts far,
Ye bless the watchers sight;
And shine where bark hath never boeu.
Oh, lovely stars of night!
Much have We seen of human tears,
OF human hope and love:
And fearful deeds ofdarkness too,
Ye witnesses above.
Say, Will that b~lackening record live
Forever in your sight;
Watching for Judgment Oh the earth,
Oh, sleepless stars of night!
Yet glorious was the song that rose
With the fresh mornings dawn;
And still amid our summer sky
It's echo fingers on;
Though We have shonc on many i grave,
Since Eden's carly blight;
Ye tell of hope and glory still,
Oh deathlcss stars of night!

Pile of such things as happened in their
provinces in the days Of the emperor IT,
berius Caesar, Publus Lentuus, president
of Judea, wrote the following epstle to
the Senate, concerning our Saviour:
"There appeared in these, our days,
man of great virtue, named Jesus Christ,
who is yet living among US, and Of tho
Geniles; is accepted for prophet Of
truth, but his own disciples call him the
Son Of God. He raiseth the dead, and
curelh all manner of disease. A man of
stature, somewhat tall and comely, with
very reverend countenance, such as be.
holders both love and fear; his hair ofthe
color OF chesnut iull ripe, plain to his
ears, whence downward it is most orient,
curling and waving about his shoulders.
In the MIDST of his head is a scar or par

a WING NATIONAL CONVENTION.

The development Of Wing sentiments
disclosed such unanlmity in favor OF Mr..
Clay for the Presidency, that at one time,
II was thought possible TO produce the
same unaplmi,y in respect to some par.
ticuar person for the Vice President, and
thereby dispense with National Con-
vention. In this expectation we have
been disappointed. Three gentlemen
Mr.. Talmadge of New York, Gov. Davis
of Massachusetts, and John NJ. Clayton
Of Delaware, have been nominated, and
the pretensions Of each sustained by
large and respectable portion of the Wing
party. To select one Of these aud har
monize the party upon him, Conven-
ton will be necessary; and when that
body assemblies, il is proposed that it
shall make nominations for both offices.
To this, we have no objections-as Mr..
Claws claims cannot be impaired By such
nomination and in the existing state
OF Wing sentiment, there is no prospect
that any other gentleman will compete
with him for the nomination.
AS to the time and place Of holding
Convention, that can be settled by the
Wing members of Congress during the
present session. We would suggest the
city Of Baltimore as the place, and Feb
ruary or March IA as the :ime---say the
LIST Monday in February.
While, we repeat, we do not conceive a
Convention at all necessary TO nominate
Presldent--so far as concerns the
Whigs-they being jealous and unani-
nous for Mr.. Clay: the case is different
in respect to our adversaries. They in
the super abundance Of their zeal for the
welfare Of the Wings, are very anxious
that some one else should be substituted
for the Great keDivckIon. Under the
