OLD ROSIN THE BOW.


Time creeps on the wisest and happiest,
As well as all others you know,
And his hand, though it touches him kindly,
Is laid on Old Rosin the Bow.
My fingers grow stiff and unskillful.
And must make ready to go,
Gods blessing on all | am leaving
/ lay down the Viol aud Bow,
This world, and my cheerful companions,
| love,-but Pm willing to 60,
For better trust is in waiting
Above, for Old Rosn the Bow.
I've ever been cheerful, but guileess,
And wish all the world would he so,
For there's nothing like bright happy faces,
In the eyes of Old Rosn the Bow.
Full many gay hearted circle
Have tripped on light heel and toe;
Through the good old g cotillon' and " contra,
Inspired by my Viol and Bow.
And when string cracked in the middle.
They Just took breath as you know,
While Rosin re-tuned the old fiddle,
And clapped some new dust on the bow
All the youth love the merry old fellow,
And his hearts not ungrateful know;
For to see them all joyous and happy,
Is bliss to Old Rosin the Bow.
A few whom we loved, have departed,
And oft to the church-yard go,
And sit on some green grassy hilock,
And think on the sleepers below!
Then softly my VOL atuning,
To the notes which are sweetest and low,
Some strain which is plaintive and simple,
l touch with trembling bowl
Then the youth come and gather around me,
Ill silent and hushed as play,
Their thoughts borne aloft on my strains
To the home of the loved, far away.
And now lis my turn to be going
My pulse almost ceases to f1ow,-
Though poor l can still give the blessing
To .ch, of Old Rosn the Bow.
Ambition and hate, are the poisons
That curdle lite's joys as they ilow,--
Oh would ev'ry heart were as simple
AS that Of Old Rosin the Bow.
Now when I'm laid under the green sward,
Don't sorrow too deeply for me,
But think on the morrow that's coming,
How sweet our reunion shall be!
Then lay me meath yonder old chesnut,
Without any " funeral show"
And but add, to the tear of affection,
'God care for Old Rosin the Bow"
Then get me simple stone tablet,
To reach from my head to my toe,
And modestly trace on its surface,
The name of Old Rosin the Bow.
But do not forget TO adorn IT.,
(Just over my bosom you know,
Where so many long years have borne it,)
With my cheerful old Vio and Bow.
That all who pass by and look on it,
May say, after all don't know
But the trues philosopher living
Was honest Old Rosin the Bow"

nal rersifcatiOa are excellent; but unfortunately
the general cast of the sentiment is so ultra Back

1890 s.saners his disposal The Mexicans a. = 40
from TINS large force that England is declare
one with them all along and is certainly influencing
their hopes CT success in the war with us.n
The Oregon Treaty will dispel this illusion, and
snow the Mexican Government, that speedy
peace or speedy extinction are the only alterna-
uves from which to make selection.
II is indeed surmised that Mr.. Pakenham, after
the settlement the Oregon question, will propose
ms mediation between the United States and
Mexico. But there will be no necessity for il, nor
do we suppose that without advisement he will
hastily interfere.
We take occasion to announce, for reliable in
formation, the indomitable bravery of Hon. Seth
Barton, Solicitor of the Treasury, in great VIC
tory he has recently achieved over messenger in
his department. John Phillips, the messenger of
Chas. B. Penrose, was retained, OF course,
by Mr.. Barton, while his own confirmation
was held in abeyance but after the Senate had
approved him, there being no further danger of
"a fire in his rear" he boldly elected Mr. Phil
lips and appointed Mr.. Isaac Ankeny, of Car
Isle, Pa, in his place. Salary $500 year. For
the moral courage exhibited in this removal, Mr..
Barton will stand exalted by an admring posteri-
ty. Examples like this are well adapted to shed
undying lustre over the history of this admnistra-
ton. Our private opinion is, that it was an ex-
ceedingly small pota tee proceeding. Mr.. Bancroft
has done nothing quite SO small as this, though
we regard his prosecution of Captain Voorhees,
as persecution, unjustified and unmertcd, if not
absolutely iyrannlcal.
We shall probably have to begin soon to scour
up our old armor, and to take into hand certain
detergent officials, in manner that will contri-
butte somewhat to the public service.
We learn that Kane of the "kane letter." has
succeeded to the place of Randall as District
Judge of Philadelphia, and that he is nominated
for the office.

City Lyrics.

TRINITY CHURCH.
The holy cross upon thy brow,
Is cleaning meath the moonlight pale
Memento OF the christians vow,
And sutf ring savior's tale
Thy pillard arches gently rise,
As olive trees from gardeners hand.
And fairest leaves Of summer skies
The sculpt0r's powers expand
The voices of thy morning chimes,
Like birds amid the forest boughs,
Awake our souls to purer climes,
And sanity thoughts arouse.
Thy sombre walls majestic rise.
Lit with q soft religious light,
In gules Of many color'd dyes
Failing as rainbows bright
Around thee sleep the glorious dead.
The ironhearted men of old
Many who for their country blsd,
In freedoms age OF gold.
Beside the patriots humble grave,
Low lie the soldiers Of King
They died before fair freedom gave
Her mightiest eagle wing.
A crumbling ruin only tells
How bravely Lawrence fought and died
IT'S hsro his wounded body dwells.
Whose names o nations PRIDE
An exils from the banks Of Seine.
Seeking refuge on our shore,
From Robospierre's cnsanguined reign
Came--but returned no moro.
Soundly he slcsps--a linden's shade
Falls coolly DER his quiet tomb
summer bird q nest hath made
Amid its sprlngtime bloom.
Here ia place to memory dear,
Beneath graceful olm.tree's wave,
Where pilgrims often drop tear
Ger Charlotte Temples grave
An efiigy Of Hobart rearsl
Itself above his sainted bones
They're too magnificent for tears,
His virtues carved on stones.
A marble lab here marks q spot
Around which early violets wave,
That epitaph is ne'er forgot
1t reads--"Ay Mothers Grave"
The martyr Hamilton here lies,
Wept by country's bitter tears
His honored memory never dies,
But brighter grows through years.
And many sepulchres more proud,
(Thc rich mans Haunting mausoleum)
Speak to the world in silence loud,
Their vanity's out.iyng them.
Here levelled arc the ranks of life
Hero pride hath had wonirous fall;
Here endeth bittemcrr ard strife.
