When the weary world vexes the hushed soul no

And the silver stars light the sill earth with their

And letters of slumber grow frmcr and stronger,

A CAsE.-A few days since man went
into the Apo,Iecary's shop of Mr.. John
Buck, in Chelsea, asking for half an ounce of
ralsbane. Mr.. Buck not being pleased with
his looks, Intercepted him as to the use he
intended to make of it, and was told it was
TO kill rats. The Apoihecary then gave him
half an ounce of medicine, and the man was
seen to eat il as he walked from the shop,

the paper away. On reaching home he told
his wife he was unwell, and laid down on the
bed. Soon after, being attacked with pain.

arsenic, and that il was all over with him I;

for physician, who was quickly m atten-

him, ran of to the Apothecary to know how
he came to sell arsenic TO such a man.
Here he was informed, that the supposed
arsenic was nothing more than cream or tar

procure the real article Of which he was in

Oh tell me no more Of the prairies and flowers,
Where plenty in rladness her full treasure pours,
But give me my own native home,
When youth delighted TO roam:
I'll waive every blessing This land can bestow,
And much real pleasure most gladly forego,
To dwell in my Green Mountain Home.
My friends and companions and all that are dear,
The graves Of my fathers which much revere
Stern mountains with Their rocks and rs,
Green valleys with their grassy hills,
Are objects loved in the days Of my youth,
And only thought will discover the truth,
That love but my Green Mountain Home
When sickness assals us and want is in store,
When doubt overshadows and joy is no more,
IT'S then tina, we utter sigh,
And long for some plying eye
And think of orr home once so gladstone and gay
Where the hand of affection wiped sorrow AWAY,
As of yore in my Green Mountain Home.

NEXT GOVERNOR.

Since the opening Of the present political
campaign, notwithstanding the unparalleled cal
umnes upon Mr. Clay, not word of scandal
worthy of notice has been uttered against the
Wing candidate for Governor BY our opponents.
In relation 10 him the tongue Of Islander has been
hushed. Not even Loco Forosm, 50 ingenious
in such things, can affix stigma upon his char.
acter either IN public or private life. His abi.
ties to discharge the duties of Chief Magistrate
are unbounded As politician he has ever
been an out and out Wing. In Congress he
showed himself an able and industrious and ar.
dent advocate of protection, distribution, and all
those principles OF national policy which are
combined in the Wing cause. With scarcely
an exception every true Wing in Vermont will
vote for WILLIAM SLADE for Governor. No
Wing Aholltionlst can consistently refuse to do
so. II there is any one thing for which Mr.
Slade during his long public career has labored
more earnestly and successfully. and endured
more abundant contumcy and reproach, it is in
the noble cause Of genuine Aboll,onsm No
one has been, or is this moment more ardenlv

SINGULAR TRAITs OF SONG BIRDs.-A
gentleman ofm acquaintance had an Amer
lean mocking-bird in such health and vgor
that i, was constantly singing or else imita-
ting the various sounds it heard. In order
to try the powers of this bird, the owner pur-
chased fine sky lark. When placed in the
same room with the hooking bird the song
of The former was heard TO echo through the
house, as if it we're chanting son flu,tering
wing" its well known welcome TO the rising
sun. The mocking-bird was silent for some
time, but at last burst forth in the strains of
the "prial songster," but louder and clearer,
as if mounting and stretching its wings to-
wards heaven. The lark was silent from
that moment, nor was joyous note ever
heard afterwards. Willing to test the pow
ers of the mocking.bird still further, an unu-
sual large price was given for a black-bird,
celebrated for its vocal powers. 1t was
placed in the same room with the mocking-
bird. Early ON the second morning its song
was resumed. and its charming notes were
warblcd forth with all the sweetness and
modulatIons which may be heard in its native
"ihorny brakes" The mocking-bird listen
ed, and was silent for a time /; then all at
once It's notes were heard to issue forth, but
sweeter and louder than those of the wood
land sor gs,er. The poor black bird heard
them, felt that it was conquered, remained
silent, dropped, pinned and died. From the
above facts emulation would seem TO be one
of the exciting causes Of the songs of the
birds. When their powers arc excelled, they
appear to feel the disgrace of being conquer
ed, and to lose all inclination to renew their
former effort.
