A Dirge for the Beautiful.

BY D. ELLEN GOODMAN.
Softly, peacefully,
Lay her to rest;
Place the turf lightly
On her young breast;
Gently, solemnly,
Bend DER the bed
Where We have piilowed
Thus early her head.
Plant a young willow
Close by her grave;
Let its long branches
Soothingly wave;
Twine a sweet rose.tree
Over the tomb;
Sprinkle fresh buds there
Beauty and bloom.
Let brigh: fountain
Limpid and clear,
Murmur its music,
Smile through a tear
Scatter Its diamonds
Where the loved lies
Brilliant and starry,
Like angels eyes.
Then shall the bright birds
On golden wing,
Lingering ever,
Murmuring sing;
Then shall the soft breeze
Pensively sigh
Bearing rich fragrance
And melody by.
Lay the sod lightly
Over her breast;
Calm be her sIumbers,
Peaceful her rest.
Beautiful, lovely,
She was but given,
A fair bud to earth,
10 blossom in heaven.

The Dead Cow Brook School.

When but little boy,
10 Cow Brook School | went;

Then Dabol my intent.

And larnt his rules by hart,
And read in the ''Preceptor," tew,
And then in the sThird Part"
Then DER the crusted snow,
Witty joyous steps trod;
The white birch ben ling low
With icicIes did nod.
With hand-sled in my hand,
The hillside steep sought,
And joind the merry band,
And the way we used tu ride down
hill, one arter another, over the glare
ice, and sometimes clean smack acrost
the smamp nIedder pond at the foot,
was q caution to railroads.
Phil Ant'ny was our schoolmaster,
A ialned man was he;
In 'rithmetic he'd gone as fur
AS the Double Rule of Three.
He'd studied ply sic tew,
And where he boarded round,
lie cured worms and lizzick !ew,
With roots dug from the ground.
Upon the hill it stood,
The school.house old and warm,
With that big pile OF wood,

How glorious to the view!

The I.nst YYhig TalsnI,nnd.

The last falsehood of the whigs OF any conse-
quence, is the assertion that Secretary Walkers
report was communicated to the British govern
ncnt before il was sent TO Congress. The story
IS founded on the fact that the British House of
Peers ordered the annualIeport Of the Secretary
of the Treasury to be printed; and the monster
which the wings have created out of so simple a
matter, is great proof of their ingenuity in false
hood.
The report of the Secretary of the Treasury
was communicated 10 Congress on the third OF
December last, previous to which time, it was
seen by only one member of Mr.. Walkers fam
lily, who was employed 10 make copy of il, and
by the clerks into whose hands the copy was
placed on the 2d December and by whom il
was prepared for Congress. copy was not sent
to England, until after it had been read in Con
gress, Iubshed in the Washington Union, and
published in paphlet form On the 9th Of De
cember, the regular packet which sailed for En-.
gland from New York, carried out the report, to.
gether with all other of the public documents
as they were published in the papers ofthe time
Such are the facts, and the people eau sec what
mountain of falsehoodT the ever-i ing whig
press can build up on a commonplace fact 1t
IS specimen, we presume, of the way in which
the wings intend TO carry on their warfare. Their
papers are all repeating the lie, and we have not
seen one that has had sufficient magnanmty to
rctract il, though all the facts have been spread
before the public, There is no excuse for con
duct so infamors, for Misrepresentation so gross,
for LIE so deliberate and palpabie, so marked
and gIarlng. Nothing can more fully prove the
worthlessness of whiggery, than The wrelched de-
vices, OF which that above mentioned is spec-
men, which its adherents are constantly display
ing for the purpose Of obtaining the confidence
of an upright people. But that people can see
through their endeayors, and will mete out to
them the fitting reward of habitual deceivers and
constant lbeers--SMtesman.

The Tax Law--New STATE House.

Much Indignation is expressed by the farmers,
that The Legislature should have adopted the tax
law recently passed, as il is so unequal in its op-
erati0ns, so obnoxious in many fits details, aud
SO clearly recognition Of the right of certain
class-Ihe manufacturers of paper money-to en-
Joy peculiar Pririleges, the existence of which is
incompatible with the prevalence of freedom and
equality. The people do not like this conduct
on the part of the wings, whose Ioud-mouthed
professions Of regard for the masses, form an
amusing contrast TO their special legislation, in
tended 10 uphold peculiar interests, and to dive
all the capital of the state into the banks--where,
sooth to say, real capital is very much needed,
and which need has undoubtedly been the cause
of the course Of the wings. The majority of the
Legislature will hear from the people on this sub
eci, next October.
Had new, more grinding, and even more une-
quail taxes been imposed upon the heavily y-laden
shoulders of the farmers of Ohio, for the purpose
Of maintaining the good name of the state, they
would have regretted the necessity of their ex-
istence, but at the same time they would have
strained every nerve to meet the demand, and
would not have allowed it TO weigh upon their
feelings. But what do they now see" Have The
makers of new taxes practised the most rigid e.
economy, so that they might stand justified before
the people, who would see that they we're driven
by dire necessity to the laying of new burdens
upon the public? Byno means. Neo tdres and
ne,c burdens haze gone on side by side piM each
other Not only have they increased the saa.
res of public officers, after had become kaoWn
that the finances of the state were in a mos
IperiLous condition; but they have provided fol
tho building of a new State House. 1t is true
that what has been done in that respect is not
mucn; but the people regard it as the entering
Iwedge--as 'the beginning of the end'-and wei
know that il will be urged as an excuse, at fu
ture sessions, for the dong of more, so that wha
may have been done, be not lost. This is all
old art6ce of the whgs--one of their regular
modes of involving the people in expenditure
calculated to grind them to powder, and 10 give
TO a few gentlemen nice fat offices. We shal
see if the people will endorse such conduct
The next election will afford them an opportuni
ty of deciding between Democracy and Econom,
on one side, and Whiggery and Ertrapaganc'
on the other. There can be no doubt of thei
decision, if they look upon the condition of the
state with The eyes of intelligent men and patri
otlc citizens.

opinion Of an Oregon Resident.

Mr.. John Schively, a citizen of Oregon, now
on visit to Washington, sends the Baltimore
Sun the following communication, as embodying
the views of American settlers in that country,
on thenegotiation:
Dear Sir:-As an humble resident of Oregon
cannot refrain from few remarks upon the
effortnow making TO divide that country by the
49th parallel. Ii is found by much research
that Great Britain has no claims in Oregon that
have any color of title Her pretensons under
the Nooka Sound Convention have been ably
canvassed, and all gone off in smoke, but she
has pretended right to the Frazler's river coun-
try, the Gulf Of Georgia, and in fact, to all the
harbors and land north of Puge's Sound. This
she claims n right of Alexander Mackenzie,w who
in 1893 crossed the Rocky Mountains, near the
head waters of the Frazier river, followed it as
far as it's course suited him and no farther. He
shaped his course from the river in question
norhwest@ardly to the sea, in latitude So 30
north. He then represented TO his government
that he had explored the Columbia river. And
this is the shadow that the English now wish to
swell into right TO the soil. From the mos
western log cabin oil the Columbia, to this me-
tropolis, our citizens are all well convinced that
the whole of the Oregon country is part and par.
Gel Of lAe soil of the United States, and cherish
it as rich legacy of their forefathers. Gentle
men high iHssAe Councils of the nation, say they
are willing k3opt the 49th parallel for the sake
of peace! NJ s:aken policy this. The settlers
in Oregon took up their long march, thoroughly
convinced that the land Of their destination was
part Of their own country. They acknowledge
their loyalty with all due Difference as citizens
of tue land Of their birth. myself, have hoist
cd the stars ana stripes under which was born,
along side King Georges cross. Bat, sir, should
the executive department give away any part OF
Oregon to any foreign power, the war which we
wish to avoid, would be in reality already COM
menced The people ofOregon will not give it
up. 70 divide it would increase the difficulty.
What sir, could be done with a hundred thou.
sand Jealous hearted riaamen in the west, who
would find their way to Oregon? If gentlemen
will examine the map of Oregon, by Capt. Chas,
Wilkes, they will see the topography of the coun-
.fy north of 40 deg, they will see that it is con
tinuous of harbors from Fuget's sound, as far
north as Our clam extends, (54 400. Vancou-
ver's Island is large district Of bituminous coal,
which the American citizens Of Oregon want
themselves, to navigate the seas with. The
whole northern portion is skirted with fine tim

The fact is, we can't give up.

"Generation after generation" says an elo-

lows we're as active in life as we are now. They
passed away as vapor, while nature wore the
same aspect of beauty as when her creator com.
manded her to be- The heavens shall be as
bright over our graves as they now are around
our paths. The world will have the same at
traction for our offspring yet unborn, as she once
had for ourselves, and that 81 6 has now for our
children. Yet little while and all this will
have happened. The throbbing heart will be si-
fled, and we shall be at rest. Our funeral will
wind cn its way, and the prayers will be said,
and our friends will return, and we shall be left
behind 10 darkness and the worm, And it may
be for some short time that we shall be spoken
Of but the things Of life will creep in and we
shall soon be forgotten. The days will continue
TO move on, and laughter and song will be heard
in the place in which we died, and the eve that
mourned for us will be dried, and glsten again
with joy: and even our children will cease to
think of us, and will not remember 10 lisp our
namesn

Or The appearance of drove Of we'll fed
donkeys in our streets on Saturday morning,
enormously created the impression that the LIE.
gslature had ajourned. That solemn event was
reserved for this, the fated morning of the I'd.
We would fain believe that the tears shed on the
melancholy occasion, were tears Of contriton for
evil doing We fear, however, they were tears
of bitter regret that the places which had known
