SUNSET ON THE sUsaUEIIANNA.

During the past few weeks we have wit
messed succession of gorgeous sunsets
which seemed to vie with each other in
variety and loveliness. Our scenery, even
under cloud, is beautiful, but beneath the
showers of purple and gold that the setting
sun pours over the valley, river and noun
tain side, it exhibits transcendant charms
which alike defy the power of pen and
pencil. There is no hour of the day that.
has half the sweetness of summer sunset.
Morn may break with its rosy dawn, fra
grant with the fresh perfume of the open
ing flowers and vocal with the mathis of a
thousand joyous birds, but there is some
thing in the magnifcence of summer sun
set, where all the splendor of that orb bursts
out in succession of brilliant colors, as
man and beast, fatigued with the days's la
Dor, seek their homes, the winds die away
and nature seems to be composing herself
for the repose of night, that gives us an in
defnable pleasure. We could sit upon the
banks of the Susquehanna and watch one of
these sunsets through eternity and ask no
other blessing. Then as the sun slowly
descends
"The moon is up aud yet it is not night
Sunset divides the day with her-R
| OF glory streams along the dizzy height
| OF the far distant mountains; Heaven IL free
From clouds but all Of colors seem 30 be
Melted to one vast iris of the West,
| Where the day joins the past eternity;
| While on the other hand fair DAMS crest
Floats through the azure ar-an island OF the blcst
| single star is at her side aud regns
| With her DER half the lovely heaven; but still
| Yon sunny sen heaves brightly, and remains
| AS Night and Day conendlng were, until
| Nature reclaimed her order; gently flows
| The Susquehanna where their hues nsiil
| The odorous purple OF born rose,
| Which streams upon her stream and glassd within
gows,
Filled with the face Of Heaven, which, from afar
Comes down upon the waters; all its hucs,
| From the rich sunset to the rising star
Their magical variety dilusc;
Aud now they change paler shadow throws
Its lnautle DER the mountains parting day
Dies like the dolphin whom each pang imhucs
with new color as it gasps away,
The last still lovcicst, ti-t'is gonc--and all is gay.

We cannot lay the mastery letter of our New York
commercial correspondent before our readers without
calling their special attention to its contents tits one OF
the best which have ever emanaed from the pen Of our
able correspondent II illustrates the benefits OF the sys-
tenn Of free trade Il shows what have been the previous
results OF the tariff Of 1885, and refutes all the objections
which have been made to it, In discharging this duty
he exposes some remarkable errors Of the new Secretary
Of the Treasury who, with all his talents, has not turned
his attention to statistics. Whatever his other attain.
mens may be, finance Is said not to be his forte The
style Of correspondence elevated than usual
for il unites some beauty Of composition with much
clearness and force Of conception.

To the Editor of the linton

To the Editor of the Union;
do not wish to detrac from the reputation OF any
one yet, from the notice Of the Hon. Isaac Wdrck Of
New Jersey in the Union OF the Goth instant. he has
received particular credit for what the noble and
patriotic act OF another II happens that the "distin-
measures OF adjustment turned" gacousy assigned 70
MIR Wildrck, was in fact, played by Hon. Hiram Wal
den the faithful democratic representative OF the Empire
State Il was the motion OF Mr.. Walden, not Mr. VIII
drck that secured saccess to the scheme OF adjustment
Mr. Walden is practical man, of good, sound sense and
is entitled to great credit for his discriminating foresight
on the occasion alluded to. As New York has but one
democrat in each branch OF national legislature, is
fortunate that they patriots worthy Of their
stuens; and the national, catholic political doctrines
coming State and congressional election will abundantly
demonstrate JOHN BROWDlE.
