BARN BURNT. Information has come
from credible source, that Barn, belong
ing to Daniel Lincoln Of this town, was burn
ed on Monday evening, 10th inst. The
Earn was filled with Hay and Grain. As no
fire had been kept very near the barn, and
as man was seen runnRg from it, the strong
presumption is that it was purposely fired.
We also learn that fire occurred in Pitts

WHERE DO THE MARTINS Go?-We
have watched with no little curiosity,
for some years past, the movements ol
these birds, and we can find nothing
satisfactory, even with the aid OF our
friend Barnhart, who has been twen-
ty-four years sheltering them and keep
ing eve to their slatitude and depar-
ture." Mr. Barnhart has box at his
house for 10 pairs of them, and informs
US that they came back from the 18th
to the SOth of March, and took their
flight with the survivors Of their young
lings about the 18th of August. So
they favor us with their company and
cheering voices only about FIVE months
of the year. Mr.. B. informs US that a
large portion of the first brood were
destroyed by the wet weather, the old
birds not being able to secure proper
amount of food, bu, they finally took
off with them something like sixty
young ones. They make their depar-
ture always in the night.
Inquiry has been made, of men who
have travelled the world over. and yet
none of them can tell where the maj
tins spend our fall and winter. We
shall have to turn our attention to
ornithological studies.

The Conflict.

Bright banners are streaming.
The stars float again;
Good rifles are cleaning
On mountain and plain;
War horses are prancing,
The trumpets sound clear,
Bright sabres are glancing
Around far and near.
Americas Freemsn,
A gallant array!
Her landsman and seamen,
4 Are ripe for the fray.
With step firm and steady
They march to the field
For strife they are ready,
But never to yield!
The chieftains are leading
The host to the war,
Hark to the loud treading
And gallant huzza;
The Bayonets clashing,
The cannon's loud roar,
The grim horsemen dashing
The bloody plain DER!
A shout the air rending!
A long, joyful cry
To Heaven ascending
The enemy fly!
Blest freedoms defended
BY sire and by son;
The conflicts ended,
The victory won!

A Tear.
By y. G. MARKHAM.

"No radiant pearl that crested fortune wears
Shines with such lustre as tear"
How beautiful, how pure, is the PHI
lose ophy of tear. 'Tis the emblem OF
innocs and love, the strong pledge OF
sympathy, the bright token Of affection,
and tho pure stream that flows from the
fountain ofa warm and generous heart.
1t gives a respite from depressing cares,
and awakens the consciousness Of its
efficacy with what is pure and holy.
It reveals TO US the loveliness OF nature,
and brings back the freshness OF child
hoods best affections. 1t keeps un-
quenched the sympathy that warmed
the spring-time Of our being; refines
youthful love; and revives those tender
and lofty feelings that restrained the
waywardness OF infancy, and curbed
the inherent passions Of youth. A tear!
it's a message from the heart to bright.

mirror OF the soul, rejecting, in its crys-

angel commissioned from the heart,
with healing in its wings, to soften the
asperities Of our nature, and cheer US
in the hour of dependency; tits the
lay spring Of budding hopes and brig ght-
ening visions, and the evening star that
guides US to future promise. A tear!
o what very world Of tender memo
ry that one word suggests; how insen-
sibly ale we carried back to the early
triumphs of our infancy, the excitement
Of school-boy days, and school itself
with all its youthful cares and emula-
tions. And when an early imbibed
passion for success. an ardant longing
for superiority, which had prompted
many an hours toll, and "many long
nights dream" had gained the dazzling
prize, with high and swelling hear,
we bear it hence to receive the proud
smile Of father and the fond kiss oi
mother, while the tear of exstacy seals
the pledge of affection and love, and
gives a new impulse to our boyish glo'
ries.
'Twas tear that bid the Indian cap

commission of the Apostle; tear thai
