VERSES ON THE PROSPECT OF PLANTING
ARTS AND LEARNING IN AMERICA.
nY nIsHop pERKELRY.

BY BISHOP BERKELEY.
missionary in Rhode Island. After his return to Eng
land, in the year 1885, he wrote the following fine
moral verses in which he, with prophetic vson shadowed
forth the coming greatness of America which events then
unimnHined are rapidly accomplishing. We copy from
Ohsmbers's Cyclopedia of English Literature:
The Muse, disgusted at an age and cline
Barren oil every glorious theme,
In distant lands now waits better time,
Producing subjects worthy fame.
In happy climes, where from the genial sun
And virgin earth, such scenes cnsue,
The force of art by nature seems outdone,
And fancied beauties by the true:
In happy clmes, the seat of innocence,
Where nature guides. and virtue rules,
Where men shall not impose for truth and sense
The pedantry of courts and schools:
There shall be sung another golden age,
The rise of empire and OF arts,
The good and great inspiring epic rage,
The wisest heads and noblest hearts.
Not such as Europe breeds in her decay;
Such ns she bred when fresh and young,
When heavenly fame did animate her clay,
By future poets shall be sung,
Westward tho course Of empire takes its way;
The four first acts already past,
A fifth shall close the drama with the day;
Times mobiles, offspring is the last.

prior 10 election times, and day or two be-
fore the election comes on, an agent will be
sent round to inform those who have been SO
unfortunate as 10 getinto their clutches, that
if they will not vote against the bank, that is,
,ciH not pote the democratic ticket, they will
not be SO hard with them--they shall have
time to pay their debts. It is certain that
this will be the way Il has been, and will
be so, SO long as such institutions are par
mitted to he among US.
After all, there is some doubt whether
they will be able to raise bank at this place
or not. II is said that stock has been taken
at Toledo for another branch at that place,
which, iftrue, and the Board of Control will
permit, will be the third one there, and con-
sequently there can be no more in this dis
tricf, as there is all the law allows. This is
a matter, however, to be determined by the
almost omnpotent Board of Control, upon
whose imperial nod hangs the fate of all the
bankers in Ohio.

10 the Democracy Of Putnam
County.

AS the time is approaching. when.the peo:
pie of the county will again be called upon
TO elect certain county officers; and amongst
others Sherifj as the expiration of my term
takes place tho coming fall, and as many
warm democratic friends have requested me
to be a candidate, while many have manifest
ed an anxiety to know whether | wonld be a
candidate, lake this early opportunity Ofsay-
ing TO all, that have resolved that my name
shall not this fall be used in connexioh with
that office. 20.
In taking this step beg leave to say 10
my Democratic friends, that am not insens:
BILE 10 their kindness and confidence, and
shall not cease TO cherish recollection of
them at all times, II is hardly necessary to
state my reasons for taking this step. To
those who know me think it supeIauous
to say, that in so doing have consulted
what conceive to be the real good of the
party in the county, believing as | do that
this step will tend TO mollfy the hard feel
ingsthat may have been entertained by some,
andthat it will tend TO promote our union;'
and secure our success, against an unscru
pulous faction of federasts, who do not hes
itate 10 use any means Of bribery and false
hood that may present themselves. regard
the success of the democratic party as of in
initely greater importance than the election
of any man whatever, and believing so am
anxious to remove as far as possible any griev-
ance or difference that can exist amongst us.
In taking leave of my Democratic friends,
can only promise them that my re al for the
cause shall not abate, but that they will ever
find me ready TO lend helping hand in pro-
noting the success ofhe Democracy, and
in chasiizing the handful Of corrupt knaves
who have SET themselves up to manage their
honest whig brethren Of the county.

Boston; Gould, Kendall & Lincoln, publishers
We have received thirteen numbers of this
work, which far rurpasses the expectations we
had formed Of its excellence and usefulness.-
The selections, commencing with the earliest
English authors, are carried down to the pre- sent
time, embracing gems Of literature from nearly
a thousand writers. Those selections made, which
are from authors with whose works we are
acquainted, exhibit the finest critical taste and
discriminating judgment; and this appears to be
the character of the selections throughout the
work. Whoever desires to become familiar with
the progress of the English language, the varia.
tions Of style. the character and history of Eng.
llsh literature, will find this work of invaluable
assistance. or the original work, in England,
