THE DESERTED HOMESTEAD.

THE DESERTED HOMESTEAD.
There is lonely homestead;
In a green and quie, vale,
With its tall trees signing mournfully
To every passing gale;
There are many ruins round it
In the sunlight glea ming fair,
But moss grown is that silver cot,
Its walls are gray and bare.
Where once glad voices sounded,
OF children in their mirth,
No whisper breaks the solitude
OF that deserted hearth.
The swallow from its dwelling
To the low caves hath flown,
And all night long the whippoorwill
Sings by the Threshold stone.
No hand above the lattice,
Ties up the trailing vines,
And through the broken easement panes
The moon at midnight shines;
And many solemn shadow
Seems standing upon the gloom,
Like forms of long departed ones.
Peopling that dim old room.
0! where are they whose voices
Rang out DER hill an daIe2
Gone! and their mournful memories
Seem but an oft.told tale.
Some to the quiet churchyard,
And some beyond the sea,
10 meet no more as once they met
Beneath that old roof tree.
Fame and ambition lured them
From that green val to roam,
But as their dazzling dreams depart
Regretful memories come,
OF the valley and the homestead
OF their childhood pure and free,
Till each worn weary spirit yearns
That home once more 10 see.
o! blest are they who linger
mid old familiar things,
Where every object round the heart
lis hallowed influence filings.
Though won are wealth and honors,
Though reached James lofty dome,
There are noJoys like those which spring
Within our childhoods home.

Mr.. POLK AND DORRISM.

The Providence Journal contains the follow
ing paragraph. If the rumor to which it refers
be true, The President elect has exhibited more,
and more propriety, in the matter than his re-
cogn zsd organs would have led us to expect. /.
rumor, upon what authority we do not
know, has gained very general circulation, that
a letter has been written to Mr.. Polk by certain
Dorrtes in Rhode Island, to obtain an express
sion of his views upon the question Of Dorrism;
and that his reply was so unsatisfactory as 10
prevent its publication. 1t said that Mr.. Polk
declared very distinctly that the whole subject
belonged properly and exclusively to Rhode Is
land, and that he should consider any interfer-
ence in it on the part Of the General Govern
'nent serious infringement Of State rights.
we repeat, that we do not know precisely upon
what authority this report rests, but it has gain.
ed credence which would certainly entitle it 10
an explicit denial ifit were untrue 1t is GER
tainly singular, too, that Mr.. Polk's views upon
this subject have never been made public; and
itcan hardly be supposed that he has been un-
questioned concerning it.

NATURAL ATTRACTION

look at each other; nature does it. Well, even
if the tongs and shov won't starh alone long,
they are sure to get on the same side of the

like human! Shut me up in 'sarvatory with

AN INFlDigL IN A GALE.

Outing The late gale on Lake Erie, the stea-
mer Robert Fulton, anong many other yes.
sells, was wrecked.
On board that boat, as was related by apas-
senger, and published in the Religious Herald,
was an iniidel, with box of books to dstrib-
ute at the west. lie was 10 pd and camorous
in proclamng his infdeIIty, ill the gale came
on-but then, like the rest, he was silent, and
waited with trembling anxiety the uncertain
fateof the ship. At length they drew near the
shore, d attempted to throw out their anchors,
when the whole forward part of the boat broke
of, and thief swaves rushed into the cabin. AT
once the inhdel was on hissknees crying for
mercy--hs voice could be heard above the ra-
ging elements, begging the Lord to forgive his
blasphemes, till heavy sea swept over the
deck, and carried him ard his books to the
bottom.

OLDEST REPUBLIC ON EARTH:

sketch OF his visit TO San Marino, small Re-
public IN Italy, between the Appenines, the Po
and the Atriatic The territory of this State
is only forty miles in circumference, and its pop
ulalion about 1000. The Republic was foun-
ced more than l. 400 years ago, on moral prin.
clples' industry and equality, and has preserved
It's liberty and independence amidst all the
wars and d!scords which have ragged around
it. Bonaparte respected it, and sent an EN-
bassy to express his sentiments of friendship
and fraternity. Ii is governed by Capain
Regent, chosen every Elk months by the rep
resentatves of the people, (sixty y-six in nun.
