VILLAGE SCHOOL MISTRESS.

On yondcr hill little building stands.
OF simple style, the work Of rustic hands;
Above, the trembling maple leaves,
Whisper OF GOODNESS to the parched caves,
And brightly green upon its moudy sides,
A climbing vine the rough decadence hides.
lis nine o'clock, and meath coudless sky
The waving fields and basking pastures lie,
And from the modest habitations round,
With laugh aud shout, n score OF children pound.
At length beneath the naples ample shade
Each sun-brown boy, and ruddy little mad
Avail, the coming of their queen,
Whose steps approach them from the distah' green
Behold her now, with pensive look,
She stops TO gaze moment in the brook
Mark how her simple, unaffected dress,
l1cighiens, not hides, her native lovel!ncss.
Around her neck coil Of silkcn braid
Guards the old watch within her bosom laid
And sweeiy smiling in its soft repose,
Upon her breast sleeps Summers latest rose;
While, hanging delicatcly over all,
roises the light and graceful parasol.
The tall grown rustic as she trips along,
Upshcs abashed, his loud and sturdy song.

And shrinks with fear behind the open gate.
and from the window, many curious eye
scans the trim stranger as she passes by.
Behold her at the door, while round her press,
The little throng with greeting and cares,
And following slow or pressing on before,
seek their low desks across the sanded floor,
AND there await, with sweetly reverend face,
The Words best teachings and the prayer for grace
How sweet the words OF Jesus on her tongue
How rich the flow of Davids sacred song!
How pure from lips all innocence and truth
Fall holy words from youth to younger youth
She kneels, and up to Heaven lowly prayer
Climbs with sweet music through that morning air.
She prays Tor strength and earnestness OF heart
That she may act pure and faithful part.
She prays that He who, while earth guest
Took little children to his holy breast,
Would look upon her flock from Heaven above,
And hold them TO the bosom of his love.
Thus with prayer begins the weary day,
And when the suItry hours have passed away,
Those childish voices mngling with her own
IL grateful song rise softly to the throne.
Thus day by day. oppressed with tender care,
Thus day by day renewing strength with prayer,
She strengthens slowly through each passing hour.
Her nations greatness and her country's power,
As the lone insect in the deep sea caves
Works all unseen beneath the needless waves.
Yet with a silent hand and gentle might,
Uprears its deep laid pillars to the light,
So she, beneath the waves OF needless mind
Crested with Crime by PASSIONS sweeping wind,
Lays deep the firm foundations of her strength,
And rears her hniy pillars, ill at length,
They brca k the pillows from the world abroad
And hold the sea asleep beneath the smile of God

A meeting of the Free Soil voters OF Leicester held
Oct 9Th, the following resolution passed unanimous
y amidst great enthusiasm The eIuson will at once
be understood by all the Free Soil men of the 9th Dis
trlct and will doubtless meet fro them most hearty
response. RePugnant as it is well known TO be- to the
wishes Of the distinguished individual to whom the reso.
luton refers, to become candidate for any Office we
feel that ia the present emergency, have right to
require the sacrifice of private feeling for the success of
the cause. With such candidate, the Free Soil men
will present an undivided 'front.' and will enter the con-
test with zeal that will triumph. Should an
other person be nominated, the contest TO say the least
must be doubtful.
ReSOiued, That consider ourselves entitled of right

and position for the office may be most confidently
