BY lEssE II. Dow.

Sweetly the blue bird MARBLES spring
From orchard boughs where blossoms cling,
And soft the sea breeze groets the hours
With music from the land Of flowers
The lilac bush with sfcenest leaves
From the bland air lis strength receives,
And opens to the mornings eye
It's fragrant crown of purple dye.
The forest from It's stately head
Shakes oil its garland pale and dead,
And like an oriental queen
Puts on its dress Of living green
Its dusky limbs, seen here and there,
Serve but 10 make lis robe more fair
While flowers Of earliest blooming greet
The sunshine Pickering at its feet.
Deep with the tide Of melted SHOWS
On It's wild way the river goes,
Its truant angler answering shrill
The plough boys signal on the hill,
When from the school house In the vale
The pedagogue, with visage pale,
Strides forth 10 save, with rod and rule,
The bloekhosd Of the district school.
The fruit trees blossomiog In pride,
Like almond groves on Carmel's side,
Wave 10 the morning gale, and ding
Their petals on the lap Of spring;
The running myrtle twines around
The grave within the burial ground,
Where, startled by affections tread,
Fits the sweet bird that loves the dead.
How soothing Is the time Of flowers,
or humming bees and whispering bowers,
When rosy children seek the wood,
Where the sly partridge trains her brood
Then fierce consumption stops awhile
And spreads DER beauty's face a smile,
While nature, from her slumbering free,
Warns the cold heart and leahess tree.
When the lone winter Of the soul
Shall lose its terrible control,
And from its cold embrace the heart,
Like the first flower Of spring, shall start
oh may the breeze Of Eden play
Around it 10 eternal day,
And cause its sickly bud to bloom
The fairest flower beyond the tomb.

The above notice comes TO us in the New York
New World-a paper which, if not strictly ndepep
dent is still not in favor of the present admnisra-
ton, and It's principles. The remarks on Mr.. Ban
croft though eulogstc, are just and show, taken in
connection with the expressions of opinion from
other sources not strictly local, that the copfrma

no local or partisan triumph, but would be aooepta

belle we'd, indeed, that the temporary opposition en-

The COMPLIMENTARY CONCERT TO GEN. MORRIS
Notwithstanding the unfayorable circumstance
to which we have before alluded, as being likely
to operate against this benefit, the Tabernacle las,
evening was filled with large and fashionable
audience, composed Of the friends of Gen Morris.
both as poet and a citizen. There were from
eighteen hundred to two thousand people in the
house, large proportion of whom were ladies
The performances went off with great Eclat. and
the artists were loudly applauded, while several Of
the pieces were encored At the close OF the firsl
part of the entertainment, call was made for
Gen. Morris, who came forward land was received
with three hearty cheers. He was evidently deeply
affected, and bowling repeatedly, spoke in low
and agitated voice, as follows:

too full to allow me to express my feelings in language
and can only say that kindness never be for

Retiring amid prolonged and enthusiastic ap-
plause, the performances were resumed, and pass-
ed of with great briIliancy. The comic Duet be-
tween De Begins and and Sanqulrico was dec-
ded favorite with the audience, and, although
long, did not tire in the encore with which it was
greeted. Mr. Brough sang his fine song, "The
Monks Of DID," into which, at the drinking pas
sage, he introduced the toast, "Here's TO General
Morris our Lyric Poet" which was received with
cheers and shouts of laughter and applause
The weather was stormy and the walking very
bad, which, we presume, prevented many from
attending As it was, the affair has proved ara
tifying and valuable tribute to the beneficiary. Of
which he has every reason to be proud.

The WEATHER AND THE PUBLIC HEALTH.-Thus
far the mildness of the season has been matter Of
universal remark. We have had scarcely any cold
weather as yet. 1t is matter Of gratitude to learn,
however, that Notwithstanding the damp and rainy
weather that we have had, and the absence of the
frosty and bracng air, which is regarded as more
salubrous at this season, the cityl is remarkably
healthy.

THE "NATIvKs" CoMPLAINiNa.-Th natives,
through their organs, complain very much that no
newspaper attacks their principles but merely finds
fault with their practices. We believe it is So.
Generally the principles of the "natives' are tole-
rably good-that is theirprofessed principles before
the election. They professed, before the election,
to be in favor Of the purity of the ballot box, and
a correction of the abuses Of the naturalization
laws. So are we--so does every body. They pro-
fess to be in favor of the Bible. So are we. But,
above all, they profesaed to ibe in favor Of city
reform-clean streets-a reduction Of the taxes,
and strict economy in the expenditure Of the public
money. All these professions are good All the
principles are good. No body finds fault with
hese professions. Nobody finds fault with these
principles. Nobody has right to find fault with
these principles. But it is of their practices that
we complain. And if they had only themselves
liked these principles as well do, and abided
by them, they never would have been reduced to
that ridicule and contempt from the depths Of
which they now call out that no body will abuse
their principles, but find fault only with their prac
tees.

PROSPECTUS OF THE NEW LIBRARY
i OF LAW AND Equity, under the direc-
ton Of Francis J. Troubat, esq, of Philadelphia;
Hen. Ellis Lewis, of Lancaster; and Wilson Nc
Candless, esq. Of Pittsburgh.
This work contains the best productions of Eng
lish law authors, without regard priority Of claim
on the part of any American publisher. Such books
are now VIGOROUSLY too dear. The reason is that
as fast as they appear, they become monopolies in
the hands of booksellers in the Atlantic cities. I'm
der the plea of right, acquired by the addition of
notes Of American decisions, the latter claim an UNI
divided title to those works, and set burdensome
price on them. The publishers of the work now
offered to the profession throughout the Union, will
not respect such titles but viii reprint the standard
British law books as fast as they emanate from the
London market. Should new editions of the works
of such writers as Starkie, the Chittys, Stephen,
and Archbold, appear, they shall also be included;
and digests of equity and law decisons-works
which have been studiously kept out of the Law
Library published at hiladclphia-shail have
place in the proposed one, together with every
new valuable English treatise on chancery or COM
mon law.
AZ This work will be issued monthly, in num-
bers Of l6O pages, printed fine white paper, end
good new long primer type, at seven dollars per an
mum, payable half yearly. s..
