Be Kind TO The Printer

BE kind to the printer,
And pay him his due,
And then will life's winter
Pass mildly with you.
And pass by not lightly
His calls for your aid
You will rest sweeter nightly
II his dues ere paid.
His lot is a hard one
More cherries at times
Than that of an exile
Who rOams far off chimes;
For many Oft vote him
To be but a bore,
Whilst others will quote him
As crazy with lore.
Be kind to the Printer
Remember 'tis he
Who gathers rich treasures,
Bright jewels for thee,
And scatters them gladly,
Nor Loards up his store,
And smiles, though oft sadly,
While toiling for more.
Be kind to him ever
'Tis ne can assuage
Tho storms that howl round thee.
As Youth climbs to age.
And if thou dos, rightly.
And giv'st him no pain,
Thy years shall pass ligh tly.
And pleasures shall gain.
Be kind to the Printer
That thou may'st not be
Like him, doomed forever
The devil to see.
And though fools may jeer thee;
Thy heart will approve.
II thou deal'st with him rightly
In Friendship and Love!

Bury me in deep, deep grave,
Where human bones ne'er rested;
Far where the storms midst wild woods raw
And hills by clouds are crested.
Bury me far from the haunts of man.
Where human voice ne'er sounded,
Where name nor lineage none can scan
OF him whose peace they wounded
Bury me deep where none can know.
One vestige of my story
Where rude funeral pomP nor woe
Mock with their empty glory.
Bury me- deep, where naught of life
Shall e'er disturb my pillow
Far from mortal hate and strife,
Beneath weeping willow.
Bury me, bury me-deep and long,
Far from a world so weary
Where my only dirge shall be the moan
OF the whistling wind SO dreary.
Bury me far from friend or foe
From pilgrim and sojourner:
Shed not tear ye high or low
Away each false heart mourner.
Bury me deep, and deeper still
From SANDERS poisoned arrow:
Away, a%ay! my grave quick fill,
And hide my hea from sorrow.
Let not stone, nor tomb; nor urn,
Bespeak my lowly dwelling:
Let no ascending incense burn
Forbid the death bell knelling.
Cover my grave and strew it Ger
With au.umn's blighted treasure:
Let mans rude footsteps never more
Its lonely site dare measure.
Bury me-bnry me-fast and deep,
Till the closing earth rebound
Here let me softly lie and sleep
Till the trump of God resound!

More GOEd..-ChiIi.

Recent accounts from Chill give information of
the discovery of a gold mine near Copiapo, on
the coast, and north of Valparaiso, which, for
richness, if the accounts be true, fling into the
shade even the Sacramento 'diggins,' which we
thought were rather ahead Of all the auriferous
discovered or Recoverable. The gold
ore at Copiapo is said TO yield seven pounds Of
gold out of seven 0~rroJas, which is equal to a.
bout one twenty-sixth part. This we hold &c be
incredible, or at least utterly improbable; and
one Of two things must be true, we think-eith-
|er that the supply of ore is very limited. or that
IFS richness is greatly exaggerated. The Russian
gold mines in Siberia are worked 10 advantage
when the auriferOus sand yields only one seven
ty-eight-thousandth part. and, under some cir
cumstances, make rernunerating returns when
the two milliOnth part only. If then,
the supply of the ore at Copiapo be large or in
Iexhaustible, and yields q twenty-sixth part OF
gold, that metal will be in danger Of losing its
monetary prominence; but of this there is no
probability, we apprehend.- Washington Globe.

THE TERRITORIES AND SLAVERY.

The present session of Congress is fast draw
ing TO a close, and, as yet, no disposition has beer
made Of the question of Slavery in the Terrific.
ries; and from present indications no practicable
end, tOthis dangerous question, is likely TO be at'
tanned by the present Congress. We have anx'
iOusly watched its progress, in aud out of Con
gress, and from the 'signs of the times" see but
little reason to hope it Will be speedily and ami
cably settled. The North and the South are TAX.
ing their positions upon it, with an apparent
steadiness Of purpose, that forbodes no good io
the UniOn--whiisa patriotism droops its head
and its voice X seldom heard.
We are no croakers of evil, to the Union, but
behold the heavings of the political waters as
indicative of deep commotion. that threatens to
bear on its bosom a billoU that will strain the
timbers of our glorious ship of state. Upon the
one side stands the South, jealous of her eOnsti-
~tulional rights, upon which she plants herself
with southern ardnur and ohivalry, resolved to
yieldno further to the enroachments Of the north.
The North, too, seems equally unyielding in her
efforts, not only to draw an iron chain around
slavery, where it exists, but to fetter it down
with shambles and manacles, wrought in the ma
tiOnal shop. It does appear to JUS that the course
Of the north is singularly unpatriOtic. in press
ing a question whence no permanent good can
result, but is a pure tissue OF elements, calculated
to engender bitter feelings with the people Of
the south. ~ i." 81
Congress has no power over the question Of
slavery, anywhere, unless it is implied; which
is, at least, a doubtful power. To admit the i'm
piled power Of Congress over slavery, (Which
we do not by any means,) it can extend only to
the Territories, and not TO the States. To say
that the States can control their domestic instilu-
tons, and the Territories cannot, is to make a
difference with the independent people Of the
Onion. The poster no where exists, implied
or expressed, for Congress to control the domes-
tic institutions of the Territories after they be-
come States. The people Of the States have a
right to alter their constitutions, at will, (~retain.
ing republican features,) recognizing or prohib.
iting slavery. Congress may legislate till doom's
day to prohibit slavery in the Territories, but
when ence made States, the right of the people
to control their domestic institutions, is no ION.
