POETRY
The two Birds.
BY SAMUEL LOVER, ESQ.

A bright bird lived in a golden cage,
So gently tended by groom and page,
And a wild bird came her pomp to see,
And said, I" wish | could live with thee;
For thou canst sing
And prune thy wing,
While dainty fare,
Thy slaves prepare"
The wild bird came her pomp to see,
And said, 81 wish | could live like thee!'
Then from the cage came a plaintive vorce,
Which babe the wild bird to rejoice,
I" For I'd give my golden cage" said she, =.
s'For thy humble perch on the wild wood
tree,
For thou canst sing
On freedoms wing
These bars Of gold
A slave enfold (;
I'd give my golden cage said she,
"For thy humble perch on the wild WOOD
tree"
Then, when the bird of the wild wood knew
The bright one weary of bondage grew,
He set the p~laintive captive free,
And away they flew singing Liberty
In Joy they roam
Their leafy home,
And trill the lay
The live long day
The lay of love from hearts set free,
For love was blest with Liberty.

MIAsMA OVER CITlEs.-The Register Gen
eral of London, seems TO think, that over all
densely populated cities, there hangs an al
mosphere totally different from that Of the
country. TO the human animal its effects
are only incidentally perceplible, because its
deleterious influences act but slowly on his
health but on smaller animals it sometimes
works like a subtle poison. Thus, a bird
brought in from the country rarely survives
more than six or nine months, unless sent
back for a space for purer air. OF the exist
ence of this miasmatic atmosphere over Lon
don, the English Register General speaks in
the following terms in a late Report:
"There is in fact a poison floating in the
air (of Lonton) which causes death. 1t is
not a gas, but a sort Of atmosphere of floating
PARTICLES, undergoing incessant transforma-
lions, probably inodorous and invisible. This
diseased mist, arising from the breath of two
millions of people, from open sewers and
cesspools, graves and slaughter-houses, is
continually kept up and undergoing changes
in one season it is pervaded by cholera, in
another by influenza; at one time it bears
smallpox, measles, scarlatina and whooping
cough among young children; at another i
carries fever on its wings. Like an angel o.

The Farmers Song.

When the rosy light
OF the morning bright,
Awakes the God of day,
We rise from our bed
And with cheerful tread
To labor HE away.
The matin songs
OF the warhling throngs
Our early footsteps hail,
While the crystal rills
From the cloud-capped hills
Repeat the welcome tale.
The blushing flowers,
In the woodland bowers,
Are bounding into birth,
AS our feet are prest
To the dewy breast
Ofthe bright and joyous earth,
In the furrowed field
We never yield
To an idle wish to roam,
But with right good will
The soil we till
Till sunset calls us home.
With a steadfast trust
In the Good and Just
The springing seed W. sow,
And not in vain,
For the ripened grain
His mercy doth bestow.
When our toll is done,
And the lucent sun
Is fading in the West,
We will gladly speed
Der the fertile mead
To a home of love and rest.
Our hearts are free
AS the bounding sea,
Which tyrants cannot bind,
And a bigot's chain
Shall never stain
The farmers fearless mind.
We conquer the Soil
With unceasing toll
Make fertile the barren glen;
And hill and plain
Acknowledge the reign
OF NATURES NoBLEMEN.

A word 10 our FlrIncrs.

1t will be seen that Wheat now brings
90 cents. This is high price and it will
be well for tho farmers Of this County to
inquire whether they should not sell at
that price. 1t will probably bring this
price until the close of navigation, or
something near it but when the Canal
10 closed and buyers have no chance to
ship produce until spring, the price will
recede.
The only question is, will the price,
upon the opening of navigation in the
spiing, be higher than at this time, SO as
to compensate our farmers for keeping
their wheat crop over winterl
We think not. Tho crops in Europe
arc good. We have fair average crop
in this country, and we can possibly con-
cieve of no demand, which will cause
even as high price in the spring, when
the produceis all shipped to market
Upon the Lake shore and other shipping
points, produce will be concentrated
ready for immediate shipment to the
Eastern markets aud viii consequently
reach there, before we can send pro.
duce from this county, And let those
markets once be supplied and the price
will fall.
The present price is thus high, because
buyers can, by way Of New Orleans
reach the Atlantic and have the Wheat
and Flour ready for the Winter market
and also for some time by the lakes; bu
SO soon as navigation closes. it must b,
expected that they cannot pay so high
price-for it is probable that the marke
in the spring will not justify it.
At 90 cents, farmers make a fine prof
il on their Wheat, and it will be well 70
them to consider before they conclude I,
; run the hazurd of better prices in tn,
spring. We throw out these hints 70
: our friends-and trust that they will max,
I. the better choice.

A Few Facts.

The Wing vote for Governor, in 1874,
was 24O2 AT this time, it can safely be
asserted that the Wings can poll $500
votes.
In 1S43, the Locofoco vote was be-
tween 2200 and 23oO-in 1s45, it was a
bout 23OO--and in 1S47. it was 220o.
Now, my "fair-weathcr," mo use to
try Wing, what does this provel We
could have be aten the Locofocos in 1843,
1S45 and lS47; but we didn't do it.
and why? Because few hundred wings
were either Indifferent about the result
or too lazy to go to the polls, thus aiding
and abetting the Locofoco party and in
directly supporting Locofoco principles.
Let it not be said that, if we had got
our vote out, the Locofocos would have
polled larger vote. They always work
: they always bring out all they can
without any of cur assistance. BY lit
tlo exerion among our Wings in the
County, our vote might have been polled
and our ticket elected. But few men,
however, felt willing to work and with
such feeling, we cannot hope for sue
cess.
Yet we have hopes that the lesson may
prove salutary. We trust that it will
lead to permanent organization of the
County. And the sooner this is accom-
plished the better. Withoutit, il is USE
less to labor-and we think that we have
hut few Wings in the County, who are
perfectly willing to give all up,
Another thing, Many Wings say
.'let the Candidates come out and we will
vote for thom." This is well as far as il
goes; my fellow.whig, it is not all thai
your duties require of you. When ar
divdual suffers his name to be used and in
employs his time and money for the good
of the party, it is but just that you SHOULD
spend little ofyour time in endeavor
ing to have full vote polled for him.
He runs merely for the good of the party
without any hopes of success, and wheI
he expects from the party handsome
poll, he should got it, Unless we have
Wing ticket, we can have no party
and when men suffer their names t.
be used and then fail to receive the uni
ted Wing strength, it is fair to presume
that, in a short time, no Wing will fee
) willing to be Candidate.

Mexican incentives 10 Desertion

Santa Anna has written several ad +
diesses to the troops in the American
Army, he calls upou them TO desert TO his
standard and offers them large rewards
if they do so. These addresses are fol-
lowed up by strong appeals in the Mexi-
can papers. Ten dollars is offered Ia
each descrter besides pay for what arms
he takes with him-$5O0 to each indi
vidua bringing with him 100 men and il
proportion for greater or less number
The soldier also receives a bond for 20(
acres of land.
We opine that these inducements will
have but little effect upon the American
soldiers-especially since they have wit
messed the execution of ORiley and hi'

The RcsnIt in Fairfield.

The Eagle crows over the result in
Fairfield. Well, if a majority of 700, in
this county, has any tendency to elate
the democracy, we are satisfied. The
fact is, as was the case in the defeat Of
John P. Kennedy in Baltimore City, the
Locofoco leaders are aware that their
principles are odious to large portion
of their party and do not expect as much
as formerly-and thus they crow because
they were not defeated. Well, it is mol
their fault because they were not.

THE UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN Mr.. Polk
AND SANTA ANNA.-On this subject the
Richmond Wing has the following search
ing paragraph:
What does the Washington Union
mean by the following signifcantremarkl
If says that paper, "Santa Anna is not
so profound or bold Statesman as icas
supposed" 10y whoml) )-'if circumstances
do not permit him to withdraw, not only
from the Sabine, but from the Neuces to
the Rio Giande, the President may hare
MIsUNDERsTooD the man, or circumstan-
ces in which he might be placed" We
understood the Union, the other day, as
affirming that there was NO UNDERsTAN-
DING between Mr.. Polk and Santa Anna.
Yetif the foregoing language means any
thing, it means that there was, and that
the President has been deceived by the
Mexican. 1t seems difficult to learn the
precise reasons which induced Mr.. Polk
to permit Santa Anna to return to Mexi-
CO. We hope, however, that the next
Congress will be able to find out the we'll
guarded secret.
