Thou little fatherless boy!

Thou little fatherless boy
Thou art thy mothers Joy,
And on thy cherub lace she now is gazing
With fond affection and with fearful eyes;
She thinks Of one who in the cold grave lies,
Who TO her heart was very dear,
But who, alas no more is here.
She thinks OF him, and like the silvery fountain
That gushes from the bosom OF the mountain,
So tears from her young heart al gushing forth
For that dear one, to her Of priceless worth;
And now to heaven her weeping eyes she's
raising,
To seek for that relief
Which soothes the mourner's deepest grief.
Again she looks upon her child;
Once hope before her swee,ly smiled,
And by its charms she d been beguiled
To think that years of happiness
For her were laid in store;
But now her brightest dreams are DER,
And she is left in widowed loneliness.
Yet not alone that pratlling one,
That just begins to talk and run
That JUS: begins to climb the knee,
As merry as child can be-
o, that is still left here,
Her sorrowing heart to cheer:
Yet not alone There is another,
Wi an she hath early made her friend,
Who'll faithful prove till life shall end
Who "stcketh closer t.7 brother"
To him she looks for joy,
With faith that she shall find;
she kneels and asks blessing
Upon herself and boy,
Then her sweet child caressing,
She rises to life's duties with a cal,ner mind

Unique Dialogue

The following dialogue, which recently
took place in this county between a farmer, a
distiller and pcdlar, will show how far a
game is on foot amongst the distillers and Ii
quor men Of this county, to detraud the farmer
out of grain.
Farmer. Mr.. c what is rye and corn worth
now?
DistHlcr. Grain isn't worth much since
the election. We can't afford to give so much
for it now. This cold water business and No
License vote has destroyed our business. We
can't sell our whiskey now, and we can't pay
the farmer more than half price for his grain.
Pedlar. Well Mr.. G | am convinced that
the farmers would be better off, and would
get higher prices for what they have to SELL
itthcre was no dlstillery competition against
them. But suppose it was as you say, even
the drunkenness and drunkard making, the
trouble and disorder which will be prevented
and the thousands Of poor families relieved,
by this No License vote, will greatly overbal-
ance your complaints.
Diailler. Stop, stop, sir, there is no such
thing There is more liquor drank since the
election than before. The No License vote,
instead of stopping has increased the drinking
they buy five gallons now and drink it at
home. Yes, sir, your notion about the No
License vote stopping mems drinking is
nothing but humbug, 1t is false, sir.
Pediar. Well then don't cheat that farmer
out of his grain.
Here you see, reader, when the distiller
wants to buy grain, mo License has preven-
ted drinking and the sale of whiskey. But
when he turns advocate for Licences then No
License increases drinking, and consequent
ly increases the sale of whiskey. Thus like a
weathercock, he shifts every way to cheat and
gull the people. This is evidently the game
Of these whiskey distillers to buy grain at a
reduced price, and hnnbug the farmers by
cheating them out of their grain Utica

A COTTAGE SCENE.
BY MRS sIGoURNEY.

/ saw cradle at a cottage door,
Where the fair mother, with her cheerful wheei,
Caroled so sweet song, that the young BIRD
Which, timid, near the threshold sought for seed
Paused on his lifted foot, and raised his head
As if to listen. The rejoicing bees
Nestled in throngs amid the woodbine cups
That DER the lattice clustered. clear suealn
Came leaping from its sylvan height, and poured
Music upon the pebbles; and the winds, ,,
Which gently mid the vernal branches played
Their idle freaks, brot showing blossoms down,
Surfeiting earth with sweetness. Sad came
From weary commerce with the heartless world;
But, when felt upon my withered cheek
Ny Mother Natures breath, and heard the tramp
OF those gay insects at their honeyed toll,
Shining like winged jewelry, and drank
The healthful odor of the Towering trees
And bright eyed violets-but, most OF all,
When beheld mild sumbring innocence,
And on that young maternal brow the smile
Of those affections which do purify
And renovate the soul turned me back
In gladness, and with added strength, to run
My weary race lifting thankful prayer
To Him who show'dm line some bright tint OF heaven
Here on earth, that might safer walk,
And frmer combat sim and surer rise
From earth to heaven.
