SLEEPING AND WAKING DREAMS.
By MRS ABBY


SLEEPING AND WAKING DREAMS
By MRS ABBY
The bright snd varied dreams that cheer
The darkness Of the night,
How sorrows disappear
Beneath the magic iighI!
Long ban.hed pleasures they renew,
Long absent friends restore;
The loved nd lost. the good and true,
they yield to US otce more.
Ills true we wake. and sigh TO meet
The worlds returning strife,
Bot coming night shall bid US greet
In sleep another life.
Age may sssert its ruthless power,
But still those dreams remain,
Giving to us he precious hour
OF youth and JOY sgsin.
But there are dreams more bright, more blest
That ul US in the day.
How soon in such enchanted rest
Lies v,gor steals away.
We imsgiue fair and cloudless years
Beneath spell like this,
And deem our changeful vale OF tears
fairy land Of bliss.
We wske--we feel our trust betrayed,
We mourn in fruiless pain;
Alas Nhen once such Visions idCe,
They charm US not again;
A faint sad veslige Of Dire n
May in our hearts be nursed;
But never in its second beam
So sunny as at first.
And when 10 age we sadly sigh
Ger blishted hopes Of truth.
We trace in bitter mockery
The dav-d,eams OF our youth:
Yet we had viewd this world Of woe,
Perhaps with kindred glance,
Had we ne'er decked il with the glow
OF fancful romance.
Safe are the dreams that night bestows--
They coma 10 unsought,
And pass unbid; but TO those
Who dream in daily thought;
Who picture friend, and lovers true,
Glad scenes unbroken Ties
On. how should they endure to view
Lilies rough realities.
Must we then turn from joys fair bowers,
All lovely rs they seeni
No--hopes Of radiant ligh, are ours.
Hopes that not dream:
They tell Is mid our pleasures brief
There is land more dear,
And hi.per in the time Of grief
Thy refuge is not here

LIcENTIoUs NovELs.-The new mode of pub
fishing novels, by which they can be purchased
at six, twelve, or eighteen cents, according to
the amount OF matter they contains of serious
detriment to the public morals and taste. We
are flooded with trash-trash unfit for parlor or
kitchen. But if the TRASHY character of these
new emissions of the press was the only fault, it
would be bearable but that is the very least
Of the evil We are having an inundation Of
licentious publications of the very worst kind
grossly indecent in their language, and sensual
in their whole tenor. Many of these profess to
be translations Of that foul-penned author, PAUL
DE KocK, of Paris, who has done more than any
other living man to disseminate open vice in the
world. He decks crime with garlands, and holds
il up as worthy of worship. Seduction and
adultery are the innocent amusements of his
heroes. He sweeps the hot breath of his pas
sions over the hottest affections and purest feel
ings OF the heart. No one can deliberately read
these works Of De Rocks without being contain
inated-no one.
1t is full time these things were checked
Some of them fairly come under the ban of the
law against lascivious publications, and those
that do should be at once suppressed. But, law
or no law, Public Opinion should speak out in
tones that cannot be misunderstood The safety
OF our young men and young women demand it !!
The sanctity Of the altar and Preside demand it !!
The holiness Of the marriage covenant demand
it! God and Religion demand it!

AN AFFECTIoNATE SPIRIT.-We sometimes
meet with men who seem to think that any in
diligence in affectionate feeling is weakness.
They will return from journey, and greet their
families with distant dignity and move among
their children with the cold and lofty splendor
of an iceberg, surrounded with its broken frag-
ments There is hardly more unnatural sight
on earth, than one Of these families without
hearts.
A father had better extinguish his bows ewes,
than take away his heart. Who that has expe-
rienced the joys Of friendship and knows the
worth of sympathy and affection, would not ra-
Their lose all that is beautiful in natures scenery,
than be robbed Of the hidden treasures of his
heart2 Who would not rather bury his wife
than bury his love for herr Who would not
rather follow his child to the grave than entomb
his parental affection
Cherish, then, your hearts best affections. In
dulge in the warm and gushing emotions of flial,
parental, fraternal love. Think it not weak
ness. God is lone. Love God. Love every
body and everything that is lovely. Teach your
children to love; to love the rose, to love the
robin to love their parents, to love their God
Let it be the studied object of your domestic
culture to give them warm hearts and ardent
affections. Bind your whole family together by
these strong cords. You cannot make them too
strong. Religion is love ;--love to God-love to
man.-NorfoH Herald.

THE WING STANDARD
THE FOREST GRAVE.
BY JULIA H. SCOTT.

BY JULIA II. SCOTT
mourn mol for her-though life was sweet,
She meier before was truly best
The path grew rough and bruised her feet
She sleepeth now, and taketh rest" "a. e.
1t has a lonely look, that forest grave,
So hid away from sight of envious eyes,
Beneath old arching trees.
The wild grape hangs
Its purple fruit with clustering fondness DER
The low grey maidstone, and the spotted fawn
Lies softly down amid the reed-like grass
Which droopeth at the foot as if to seek
Companionshp with her who sleeps beneath.
o! sweetly, softly, sadly beautiful
Are all things circling that love-haowed spot,
Whether it be the hillside rill which foams
With grief-lke passion DER its rocky bed,
Flinging its white tears back; or the thick hedge
OF pale wood-roses, gazing tlmidly
On the soft, sun-streaked carpet at their feet;
Or the grey mounds and messy knobs, oercrept
With partride vine, whose sparkling berries neer
Lose their rich hue, but lay their coral forms
Within the moss cups white
An old dark pine,
That standeth near, doth murmur endlessly,
With its wild voice like one bereaved and ne'er
On earth with words of comfort to DO blest.
And to its shade there cometh every eve
mourning dove, and pourelh flood
Of tender broken-hearted melody. q
Wouldst know the history Of her who sought a,
In burial refuge from the world'
IT'S simple, common tale Of love,
Such as perchance thoust heard thousand times
Without a tear IT'S, had almost said,
The history Of woman. She did love,
And was betrayed They saw the light 60 out
From her young eyes like the soft glimering rays
Of setting stars, dreamed the cause, till sleep
With its untrammeled words hreathed out a name
That made them shudder. Then with trembling hands
They wrought the victims grave clothes, and no more
Gave ear to hope
That wronged one never breathed
One word against her callous murderer
But with farewell smile for all who came
To see her spirit take its upward flight,
gentle pressure Of her sisters hand,
One tender kiss on her grey fathers cheek,
One thrilling gaze in her pale mothers eyes,
She whispered Of this long beloved spot,
And rose to meet the love which eateth not
The heart away.

g Resolred That Henry Clay has shown himself
eminenty disqualified for the Office which the FEEDER
asts are disposed to confer upon him, both by his
want of practical wisdom and his utter disregard of
the constituent body as shown in many acts of his
political life and none Of which stand out prom
inenty than his support Of the abominable Bankrupt
Law-the destructive operations OF which would
have been stayed if he had reflected the will of his
constituents"
The above is one Of the last set Of resolutions
adopted by the Locofocos Of Petersburg, at their
late meeting In these days of high political
excitement, when every mans qualifications are
referred to the standard Of party, we do not
know that we should be surprised at anything
we may hear. But really, the broad assertion
that Henry Clay is g eminently disqualified" for
the Presidency by his want OF practical WIS
dom," goes a bow-shot beyond everything that
we have yet heard or imagined. Henry Clay =
whose fame had overspread this vast confede-
racy, and whose name had become as house
hold word before the mover OF the resolution
had emerged from his swathing clothes Henry
Clay on whose great shoulders the country
leant for support during the last war Henry
Clay who, when the Missouri question rocked
this Government 10 its very notwithstanding
to overthrow it--calmed The elements, and allay-
ed the fears of those who were looking on the
fearful crisis with sickening apprehension
Henry Clay who when the dark clouds OF dis
union rose in the South, porending the utter de-
struction of our Union, and all the bright hopes
which cluster around il, touched it, as il were
with an enchanters wand and caused it TO dissi-
pate, bringing forth in lis place the rainbow Of
promise and Of hope, and causing it to span our
sky! This man, this Henry Clay, is |" eminently
disqualified" for the Office Of President by his
want of practical wisdom land that, too,
in the estimation Of one who prefers Martin Van
Buren, for the Presidency to all men living
Well every man to his taste, as the old woman
said when she kissed her COW Pet. intel. Il. VI
