willie the loud bark Of the dog sounded again from
the chasm.
Down, down, the youth was lowered, startling
the wild birds from their nests under the cliffs, and
brushing the twining ivy from the sides Of the
rocks. AT last he reached the bottom, and the
noble dog Luoth sparng upon him and barkcd loud
and joyiully.
The glare of the torch " the young man
held flashed around and lii up every object There
upon thick bed of wild heather, lay the sweet
Flora Campbell holding in her white arms and
close to her bosom, young lamb.
Christie stopped, and gazed a, her. She brenthed
calmly, and he knew that she was sleeping. He
glanced at the little lamb, and saw that one Of its
legs was tied with ribbons from Flora's hat Then
he looked up aud shouted aloud" She is safe"
This shout was echoed so loudly and so gladly
that il woke the young maiden from the slumber
which had held her. She glanced around with
bewildered gaze, and recognized the youth Dear
Christie" she said, 81 am so glad you have come
Now we will save your fathers lamb"
Christie and the villagers soon learned ALL
How Flora had beheld the young ambkin where
it had fallen, at the bottom Of the 'Decr's Mouth
and saw that one of its delicate limbs was broken
how she had descended from ledge TO ledge of the
chasm side, clingiug to tho ivy, and thinking not
Of danger-how she had bound up the broken limb
with her ribbons, and held the young Iumbkiu in
her arms-and how, at last, weary with her exer-
ton she had fallen asleep, and heard not the cries
Of those who searched for her.
Joyful aud happy the villagers were, when they
learned the safety Of Flora, and the little ambkin
she had rescued, given TO her by Christie S
father. And Flora was often seen afterwards
bounding over the braes, with her pet rlsking be-
side her-and often as she appeared. the old vii
layers would smile, and say, God bless her"

List We to the Voice of the Past.

List ye to the voice that fingers
In the records Of the past,
There, inscribed by times own fingers,
On creations scroll to last
Are the scenes that passing ages,
And the jar OF rolling spheres,
Len for greater, wiser sages,
To expound their mysteries
List ye to the voice that fingers
In the records Of the past
For experience Injuries,
But enlightens to the last
There the rise and fall Of nations,
Led by warriors Spartan bold,
Where with country, lie, and station,
Honor was for mammon sold;
Where The rise Of human glory,
With its march through rolling years,
Der the fields Of battle CORY
Where the shroud of death appears;
Where the rise of science cleaning
In the east, like duwning day,
And religion, art, and learning
Ger the earth assert their sway,
Are portrayed, in colors glowing,
On The bright historic page,
Or on streams Of darkness flowing,
Where Oblivion's waters rage
List yc 10 the voice that lingers
In the records of the past
Where from memrys latent embers,
Livened by reflections blast,
Rises up like vision airy,
Der the mind its shadows cast
As from spirit land, or fairy,
Ghosts and pbantoms fitting past,
Life's fair spring or holy morning.,
Portrayng scenes forever new,
To the minds wildly yearning
For the future which they view
Happy childhood Oh how fleeing
Are thy joys soon to sleep;
Cares and sorrows are greeting;
Der lilc's woes they bid US weep
Walked, though varied be the feelings
In the viewing Of the past,
Yet their voice in loudest pealings,
Fain would tell us, Hough ran last,

from Indiana. We commend it to the attention of the

who withhold their aid, and stop coldy calculate the
causes and chances of the war; They will be made to

The Rochester Advertiser refers to the proceedings
of the late Syracuse Convention the harbinger OF
better spirit in the democratic party. After some diff
cues and struggles about contested seats in the
tion conciiatory resolution introduced by Mr..
Morell, OF Orange, and adopted.
'The accommodation" (says the Adverser) embodied
in the resolutions that joint convention be held, in pur
of call, cmanating from the anag
onisiic organizations, Jon the purpose of settling their long
erisiing dbcmts received with accla,nation, and
passed ,cithout dissenting uoice This man1uvre, con-
ceiyed in WISDOM and executed in the happiest manner,
restored the convention degree of good feeling quite
unprecedented and the business of the conventions which
the sole object of convocaon was, the late hour
before indicated, satisfactorily and tremendously
ed. And may still further add, with feelings of the
veest satisfaction, that the prospects for democratic
unity in this State, henceorward, indeed most cheer
ing.'
The "Cayuga Tocsin" confirms this statement, and
congratulates the party 'the unanmity with which
the abors of the convention were terminated, and the
union OF feeling and purpose which it exhibited The
'Tocsn trusts that similar spirit will inspire every mem
Der of the democratic party, the most certain means of
insuring success and pledges itself its best eff
forts strengthen and fortfy it in all ways and upon
all occasions" We hail these signs with sincere pleas
re, and trust that all the democratic papers in New York
will imtatehe example. The discussions in the Empire
State have thrown heavy cloud the spirits OF their
democratic brethren every State. We rejoice that the
horizon is clearing away.
