Why shorld wo mourn when loved cnes die.
And give the parting kiss'
Trey only pass from earthly toll
To heavens own perfect bliss,
''ris only dust that sleeps in dust,
within the silont tomb
The spirit scars on winds Of light,
Where flowers perennial bloom.
Whe; human ties asnnder break,
And hearts bleed for their own,
The ransomed soul feels no remorsc
For it from pain has flown.
And yet We mourn as though the dead
Were lost in endless night, -
But Path can raise the c,ud that lowers
Around the spint's flight.
Tho smiles that play abou, the fac,
OF all the sleeping dead,
Are but the wect assurances
Which Inourners have to she'd
A halo round their weeping eyes
A glimpse Of heavens repose,
Which rcigns in one eterna day,
Undimned by earth's stern uoo.
We iris the loved from home and feel
That life is dreary now
The spir, yirlls its sinking strength,
~ gricfs dark shrine TO bow;
Butch, we should not murmur thus,
When Gods Affections come,
For these are but His messengers
To call His children home.
Our duty bids us meckly yield
To HIS all-wise decree,
And hear in every tolllns bell
Deaths soothing minstrelsy
For while its solemn sounds ascend,
And o'or the bl4e sky roll,
Heavens perfect choir have tuned their harp
To welcome home the soul
Oh, soon The last ofall our friend.
Will cease to smile with love-
The gathered group will swell the notes
That angels sing above.
Oh, shed no bitter tear for those
Whove lain their armor down,
They've ,ined the army ofthe just,
And wear the scrrph crown.

TIE REVENUE MARiNE.-The reduction OF
officers in the Revenre Gutter Service has
raised the question Shether the diminution is
legal The officers dismissed claim TO holi
their positions as part of,he public defence o.
the country, and, Therefore regard them in The
nl,ure Of life tenuyes. If SO, it would seem
that an act of Congress would be necessary to
specify the persons to be dismissed, Con-
gicss, thus far, has shirked The proper respon-
sitili,y in the matter by requiring The roduc-
tion Of expenditures for the co lection Of The
revenues, from 80, 100 eco to !, 500 eco, and
this reduci on to be effected by the diminuiion
OF The number ofinspectors and Of the officers
mploycd in this particular service. A better
p an, some think. would have b. en- to strike
of from the list all appointed after certain
time, since the plea upon which Congress is
always pc it oned for a reinstatement is, that
the length Of time they have been in this SER
vice has unified them for successful eXerliOn
in any other pursuit. We dare say that Con-
gess vii be called upon to act upon this sub
eci again at the ncxt session.

DIsGRAcEFUL CoNFEssIoN.--In a
long political article upon Gen. Taylor's
Presidency, published recently in the
Washington Union, we find the follow
ing remarkable confession
"Tlle democratic leaders feared most
that he would administer the government
IN that spirit of liberality and cancellation
which he had promised, and that thus he
would be the great instrument of disor-
ganizing their party, which would cause
them years Of hard and patient labor to
reconstruct"
This acknowledged fear, entertained
by the democratic leaders, proves two
things very conclusively- first, that those
leaders love their party better than thew
do the country; and, secondly, that how
ever fully their fear might be realized by
Gen. Taylor, they would endeayor 10
convir ce the people that the government
had not been administered in conformity
to that spirit of iberality and Cancellation
which they deprecate. 1t has not fallen
to orr lot to chronicle more disgraceful
admission, among the many that have
recently been made by the Washington
Union, than this-that the Locofoco lead.
ers tear good government, because of
its inevitable tendency TO the disorgani-
cation of the Locofoco party Tcks-

Mission OF THE Wing PARTY.--We
copy the following sentiments, which are
as just as they are happily expressed,
from the Ogdensburgh Forum:
"The mission of the Wing party is
identified with the high hopes and aspl-
rations of the great intellecls of the age.
II embraces those thoughts and senti-
ments which burn in the bosom of patri-
OTIS and philanthropists. Improvement,
Excelsior" is their motto. They seek
to develope the natural resources of our
soil, to facilitate social intercourse and
commerce by Improvements in commu-
nicatons, to promote the advancement of
skill and industry by suitable protection
and encouragement; to expand the hui
man mind by ample facilities for acqui-
ring knowledge and the protection of his
right in life, liberty, and property. And
fellow citizens, are not these objects wor-
thy of your serious regard and attention
worthy of the name you inherit, of
the ancestry you boast! If they are,
give them your support and let it not be
said that any personal disappointment
or private griefs have alenated or even
cooled the ardor of Wing elector."

This great Statesman and able and
consistent Wing, has been singled out
by the Locofocopress as special object Of
hatred and vituperation. They have not
ceased, since he took his place at Wash
ington as Secretary Of the Interior, to
pour upon him the walls of their envy
and wrath. One would have supposed,
ere this, they had exhausted their ven ON
and spleen on him--but not so. Re-
Gently Mr.. Linder Of the Illinois Leg
slature-calling himself Whig--has
made furious attack upon Secretary
Ewing, and Immediately all the Locofo.
co fraternity in Iowa join once more in
the melee. and open upon his track like a
pack of hungry hounds. They may
whine-they may traduce and vilify, the
victim that they so eagerly seek is above
their reach; conscious of his rectitude
of purpose and honesty of heart, he will
still move on the even tenor of his way,
the gifted Statesman, and honest man,
and the pride and strength of his party.
The Locofoco press charge him with
once being a poor boy. engaged in tend
ing salt kettles and sneeringly call him
the "sah boiler" IL i, is any crime, or
disparagement in this country, where ali
are declared to be equal, to be poor; to
acquire good education and rise to the
first rank of statesmen and patriots by the
labor Of our hands, then has Mr.. Ewing
been guilty Of crime. But if this is
crime, we ask what is a virtue. The
Washington Union has given these pa
pers their cue,and hence they care not to
turn up their pretty little noses at the
Secretary, and brand him as "the poor
salt boiler" These editors at the same
time, are dependent for their daily bread
and butter upon ,corking men; many of
them poor, and have living examples be-
fore them every day, in some of the no.
blest, purest patriots and statesmen that
ever lived, who spring from poor parent
age.

A DANDY's BRAINs.-A couple of fel-

fancy to a young lady, and one of them
sent the other challenge, which was &C
cepted and accordingly they proceeded to
the Jerseys to try the cold lead. The
seconds loaded the pistols with nothing
but powder. The one who received the
challenge put rotten egg in his pocket,
and when The pistols were discharged,
the dandy standing ready to fall from
fright, received the egg plump in his fore
head, knocked bis spindle shanks quite to
the ground, and applying both hands to
his face, he scraped off the moving mat
ter, and turning his eyes mournfully to-
heaven. exclaimed, "Oh God, see my
