Oh !! let the solemn minutfgun
Arouse the morning ray
And only with the settinSsun,
In echoes die away,
Oh let our banner from II. skies,
Like autumn glories fA,
To shed its ever changintdyes
Around the sable pail.
The mufIled drum, the Willing fife,
All let them nurmer 1w
Ger him who was their breath OF liia,
The solemn notes OF Hoe;
For h!they can alone ippat
The sorrow oftbe brase,
When the idol Of the soldier's heart
Is followed to the grave.
At Chippewa and Lundys Lane,
On Polaklaklaba's fed.
Around him fell the crimson rain,
The battle thunder peeled;
But proudly did the soldier gaze
Upon his daring form,
When charging DER the cann ms blaze
Amid the sulphur storm
Upon the heights Of Monterey,
Again his flag unroliea.
And when grape-shot rent away
Its latest starry fold,
His plumed cap above hs head,
He waved upon the air,
And cheered the gallaratroops he led
To glorious victory uere.
But alb the dreadful seal broke,
In darkness walks asH,ad,
The pestience whose Sent stroke,
Is like the doom OF ID.
And the hero by itsfelkecree
In death is sleeping hw,
With the lanral wreatd i victory
Still green upon his pow.
His monument shall h he roar
BY old Niagara made
The waves on lovely rmpa's shore,

Fair eyes shall weep u early doom,
Fair hands shall off bring
And offer at his sacred omb
The dewy flowers sfspring;
And with the ranks fras his TO lead
Shall ever live his hme,
While history treasnm up deed
That's worth eternd sme.

ANSWERING Fool ACCORDING TO HIS
FoLLv.-The American Messenger for Au.
gust has the following: During the month
Of November, lS43, = clergyman and al
atheist were in one ofthe night trains be-
tween Albany and Utica. The plight be-
ing cold, the passengas gathered as close
ly as possible around the stove. The athe-
ist was very loquaciou., and was soon on.
gagged in controversy with tho minister.
In answer to On inquiry Of the reverend
gentleman MS to what would be mans con-
dition after death, the atheist replied: "Man
is like pig; when he dies. that is the end
Of him." As the minister was about to re-
ply, red-faced Irish woman at the end Of
the car sprang up, the natural red Of her
face glowing more Intensely with pas

directly upon il, and ac lressing tho clsr-
gyman 10 voice peculiarly startling and
humorous from its imprisoned tone and
the richness Of its brogue, exclaimed:
"Arrah, now, will ye not let the haste
alone? Has he not said he's pig? And
the more you pull his tail the louder he'Il
squale!" The effect upon all was electric !:
the clergyman apologized for his forge.ful-
ness in attempting to make any reply to
such IN assertion, and the atheist vas mute

IRISH FEELING AGAINST ESGLAND.-A
journal published in Ireland, under the Ii

its issue o. July 18th, the following very
sarcastic TRADE in regard to the Queens

She i'll behold the spiendor Of the yicere-

the chorus of luxury, but her ears will be
closed to the cry Of misery. She will

ANEcDoTE OF JOIN RANDoLpH.-The fol-

occurred in the Virginia delegation, and a.
mong other candidates for the vacant honors

who, among bis friends, was quite celebra-

little farther down ihelstream We come
to the large FIGURING Mill occupied BY
Mcssrs Nj. Damp e. Co. who have the repu.
tstion Of paying the very highest market
price for wheat. Their flour is mostly ship
ped to st. Louis.
This mill is capable Of turning out on an

20 to $40 per month: q superintendent

ployed, some moulding, some turning, 9th
ers black-smithing, making Horse Powers,
Tbreshing Machines aud HarvesteTs.-
They make about 200 tons Of castings
yearly. There are 5 lathes kept constantly
running in the Machine shop. They are
now building and selling some Of Lock-

They are also just completing the castings
and iron works of other new Harves.ers
and Cleaners which are being built here,
Messrs. F. & B., drive business 10 fiae style

Of over $500. exclusive Of shovel plows.-
They employ on an average, 20 men the

an additional shop below tho one in pres.

They have also ordered from England, for
their own use, several tons Of Nailor g. Cos
cast steel direct from the msnulsctursrs.-
They imported last year the first cast steel
everused in America for the manufacture
