Who'll be the next to Die ?

An undertaken hung
Der coffin all alone,
And YEARLY he sung
As the dreary work went on.
While sadly to HIS ear,
There came spirit-sigh,
Zone coffin only hast thou here
Who'll be the next TO die.
His heart was clutched with fright,
He glared around the room;
The pale and waning light
Scarce battled with the gloom.
No spectre met his eyes;
No fend was penciled there.
But the crazy wind still sorrowed by,
And moan was in the air.
I'm sure it was not me,
Denoted in that sigh:
Thank God, it did not breath my name
As it went mourning by.
But still again the spir;: came;
Again the quaint reply

Who'll be the next to die'"

He argued every all;
Then thought of self once more,
And lip and check were pale.
"Ah sure it was not me,

AS he conned away right wond' ringly-

There's the old man up the street,
Who begs the live long day;
Death fingers at his feet,
And beckons him away.

Her eve has lost its sheen.
And there's my neighbours child,

I'm sure it was not me,

For these, alas / ween,

Though thou art stout and hale,
This night, indeed, thou shalt abide
Low in the realms of wall

A Voice from Vermont.

The Vermont State Banner, one of the lead
ing Wing papers of that State, referring to the
Fugitive slave law, uses the following language
Statesmen pronounce this course polite; but
if we rightly interpret expressed sentiments, and
do not n,isjudge the views of Vermont Wings,
we shall be supported in pronouucing it unjust,
and at variance with the principles upon which
we build our platforms and obtain our victories.
If to secure the passage of a righteous law,
one most perversely unngbteous must also pass,
there is an error existing in National jurispru-
dence, which we, as Northern freemen, must
ever strive to remove, and which, as members Of
the Wing family of Vermont, we cannot refrain
from crying aloud against The passage of the
Fugitive slave bill was aninsult to Vermont and
the North, Our delegation could not vote for it;
and we cannot submit to it without entering our
protest, and we shall often repeat d demand for
its repeal nor rest until il is effected, even
though its agitation in Congress should again
disturb the harmony of the States" -.
