A MAGNIFICENT PROPHECY
familiar with astronomical matters are
aware that the eccentric and apparently
capricious motion OF the planet Uranus or
HerSchel, as it is popularity called in this
country, has seemed to be an exception TO
The laws governing the planetary system,
and has almost broken the arts OF The as
tronomers to account for. 1t was evident
enough there was a disturbing force some.
where, that produced these unaccountable
vagarles: but TO decide where or what il
was, was the erperimentam cr"cis. The
theory, or rather the conjecture, family
hazarded. that the cause might be look
ed for in The Influence of Jupiter or Sa-
turn WIS promptly shown to be untenable,
and most astronomers have for some time
given 20 the matter in despair as utterly

A member OF the French Academy of
Science (Leverrler,) was not disposed To
give it up. The heavenly system, he rea-
soned, wa perfect For every movement

Good Night.

Good night, and may the god of sleep
Press gently on thy brow,
And on thy lip may softly creep
The smile that plays there now.
All undisturbed be thy repose
By visions Of grim care,
And thy young heart so light, that woes
May find no dwelling there.
While angels guard thy downy bed,
Nav fear of III depart, Chead
And bright-wing'd peace play round thy
And nestle in thy heart.
Nav all thy dreams be happy themes
Of joy, and love, and light,
And all thy life be like thy dreams

Democracy.

The democratic principle which has &C
complished such wonders in this country,
aud which in the freest government in the
world, still constantly tends to the enlarge
ment and expansion Of popular power, has
been operating IN more limited sphere,
and with less cOmprehensivenes of action
but net less directly, and perhaps notices.
potently, III governments where the peo-
pie are SPECTATORS and sufferers, not ac-
tors. In The .ormer, this principle aims
at progress, u not peTtectIpn; earnestly
seeking 70 give absolute and unqualified
scope TO the theory shat the people are 81
depusitores ana fountain oi all power. N
the latter, lis effects are painful, convol-
sive and interrupted. 1t strives to tear
away privileges and wealth from the eX-
elusive classes, and to compel the equal
diffusion of the blessings of government
among the rich and poor, the high and
the humble. At every bound, at every
movement, it gains something; each trl-
umph Impels it to new encroachment.
Thus, the abrogation of that mighty pre-
rogative of the British landed proprletors
by which they regulated the price of bread
and kept the inferior clssses on the verge
! of starvation, is one of the victories OF the
popular movement which will assuredly
animate the masses with ten-fold spirit
and invite them to demand further reforms
reforms which will strike at the very
root of the Constitution, and require com
plete remodel.ing of the Government, upor
quite a different basis. How long will |
be before the question OF free, or universe
suffrage, will succeed that of Free Trade
Let this point once be carried, and VIII
shall sci bounds TO the progress of demo
