THE SICK MANS DREAM.

THE SICK MANS DREAM.
Methought that in sacred wood,
/ slumbered on a bank Of flowers,
Sooth'd by streamlet's wandering flood,
That gurgled thro' the whispering bowers;
And dreams did visit me-so bright,
Elysium only could beget them,
They brought me such intense delight,
Inever, never can forget them.
1t seem'd that thou vast present there,
Thine eyes with living lustre beaming;
The star of morning deck'd thy hair,
And all around its radiance streaming,
Impaired to thy lip-thy check
The brightness OF immortal glory;
o, we can ne'er such visions seek,
But in some old romantic story!
And near thee hung Lyre of gold,
Beneath bough Of shadowing roses
Roses-hke these that Lore enfold,
When from his tolls the God reposes;
And when thy fingers touch'd the strings,
Thy yielding numbers rich and swelling,
As when some spirit sweetly sings
At evening from her viewless dwelling.
Yet changeful was that Music's strain,
It told of Hope, and Youth, and Gladness;
OF pleasures Wreath, of True Loves chain,
And then of blighted Joys md Sadness.
At last an answering Voice there came
From bright cloud that then descended,
2 And while it spake-a quivering flame
Was with the fleecy whiteness blended.
may not tell the words so kind
By that same plaintive voice then spoken,
For the dark night-storm's rudest wind
Came DER my dream, and it was broken,
But, lady, tranquil be thy hours,
And smooth the path of life before thee,
For surely. from celestial bowers,
Some happy spirit watches DER thee!

tributes to long life. While a passionate and tur-

by possessing mildnessoi temper instead of the OPP

all men to cultivate It..

OTHER BRETHrEN--We have, (slys the Gin
cinn9ti Herald) already recorded the new policy
Of making converts to Christianity, adopted in the
cases Of brothers Webster and Clay. We per-
ceive that the kingdom of heaven is again suffer
ing violence. Brother Polk and brother Dallas
hive been made members of the American Board
of Foreign Missions, by two donations of 500
eoch, one given by a Revolutionary pensioner in
New Lebanon, N. Y. the other, by a "friend" in
Pine Orchard, N, Y. The two parties seem to
be seized with sudden ambition to excel each
other in piety. If honorary religion could open
the gates Of heaven, brothers Webster and Clay
Polk and Dallas, would now be pretty safe. But
this new custom Of taking up men neck and heels
and t~umbling them over the walls into the sheer
fold, wont answer. We should like better to SEE
men contributing for themselves to these religion.

that feeccs of wool be not tied, after rolling,

THE FREE TRADER.
Ottawa, IN, Friday, January ~, 1875.
E!r. s.nmborn'. speech in the lobby.

Most Of our readers, doubtless, know very well
what is meant by the "Lobby." 1t is mock
legislature that hold its sessions in the represen-
atiye hall at Springfield, after the house has adj.
journed. The leading measures before the lcgs-
lature are here generally first taken up aud discus
sed and often speeches are made that are not sur
passed, If equalled, in either branch of the rcgu-
lar legislature. OF this class certainly was the
speech of Mr.. hAMTouN, of which we give an alb
stract below. 1t was made on a resolution intro
duced in the Lobby in favor of tax to pay inter
est on our state debt. The speech is spoken OF
in the highes, terms by all the letter writers and
papers that have mentioned il. In justice to MIR.
H., however, we must state that our reporter ha.
attempted only to give his leading positions ard
ideas, without attempting to initiate his style or
language, or to give single one Of the happy IL
lustrations and flashes Of wit by which his speech
was SO richly cmbeishcd.

Mr.. LAMBoRN said, the position he oc-
cuped in relation to this question was Pc
culiar to himself He had no particular
interest TO promo,c--no personal object
to effect lie was not an Office holder.
dependent upon the popular current TO
bear him up nor was he an Office seek
er. lie looked for no promotion of any
kind and was not, therefore, subject to
the caprice of any man or set Of men, but
was left to himself to think and act as he
pleased. He was not influenced by the
men WHO filled the stations Of honor in our
state, for he was not particularly favored
by their confidence and he belonged to
no clique or junto Of politicians, nor was
he identified with any local or sectional
interests. What he might sag upon this
subject, then, would be The honest express
sion Of his convictions, not restrained by
any fear of popular prejudice, nor elected
by any prospect of public favor.
This was not (Mr. l.. coniinucd) a
question that interested us alone, or lhal
belonged entirely to our present lcgisla-
ture, or that interested exclusively the
people OF this state, or country. No, the
whole world was deeply interested in the
issue. The credit, the honor, and future
well being Of our common country de-.
mandcd speedy action at our hands, and
we could not expect or desire a more "a
vorable time TO effect the great object in
view than the present. The political con-
iIict which had ragged throughout the
length and bredth of our land, bearing up
on the pillows of party spirit the better
interests of the people, had passed over,
political anmosities had ceased to agitate
the public mind, and sober reflection
would once more direct the deliberations
Of our public assemblies.
In this state more particularly was this
an important time to attend to our matters
OF great and pressing interest. The de.
mocrallc party had the entire ascendancy
There was no party influence to counter
act, no party prejudice to overcome; and
men could come up at once and attend to
the general good.
lhis was not, however, party ques-
lIon. By revcrting to the causes which
had led to our present embarrassment, it
would be found that all parties had been
equally engaged in those wild schemes
which had led 70 such disastrous reverses
IN our public as well as private affairs.
1t could be charged upon no party in par
,lcuIar Men had once been proud to claim
The honor of such bold conceplions--such
vast plans of future agg'andlzement, and
all were alike accountable for their unfor-
tunaie failure. Neither were our excess
ses charseabIc upon any particular Sec
tlon OF our state. In one portion there
had been canal, in another rail road
in another bank, and SO on--all equally
and generously distributed and even, in
few instances, money had been borrow.
