The vanity of Human Thin IS.

The Vanity of Human Things.
Alas that earthly cares should hide
The scatter'd blessings far and wide
Which God himself hath given
That man DER man should hold control,
And da ken round each longing soul
The very light of heaven!
What the vain glitter of an hour,
The masquerade OF borrowed power
Or all that wealth may claim
Can mortal bosom ever fill,
Unmlx'd with human care or i'll,
With the eternal flame
All human praise may DER me pass;
But as the night-wind on the grass
That fades upon tomb,
The glare of beauteous things that rise
Beneath the span Of summer skies,
Resolves itself in gloom
When earthly vanities have pass'd,
0 may my weary soul at last
Resolve itself in God!
Nor fame nor praise intrude to break -
ripple on the tranquil lake
Of life in that abode,
Where roll the tides of human praise
The sound and stir of passing days,
Unseen, unfelt, unknown
Unheard amid tn eternal hymn
Where rising clouds of incense dim
The everlasting throne
In vain, in vain my longing eye
Doth watch all day the summer sky
Some form all strange to see
For sights and scenes eye hath not seen,
For path where foot hath never been.
I'll search the troubled sea;
Orlollow in the tempest's PATH
Or follow anything that hath
Some rage in its career;
Or wait me till the sullen tomb
Becomes at last the very womb
OF dreams and scepters drear.
Yet through the shades of death shall rise
Tb, eternal lights of Paradise
Upon my weary gaze;
And scenes which pencil never traced,
And melody which never graced
The pomp of human ways;
And flowers all beautiful will grow,
And summer winds will DER me blow
The air will not breathe
They'll linger nelr me when Pm dead,
They'll bind upon my lowly head
The unforbidden wreath
Hogs Instructor.

A SLAVE CAsE.-The Washington correspond
cnt Of the Evening Post, speaking Of the recent de-
bate IN the Senate on the Slave Trade, relates the
following, by no uncommon, but very striking
incident of the domestic traffic.
~ this moment, under the roof which covers
me, there tolls in hopeless unremtted drudgery. an
aged woman, whose wages are monthly received by
a chivulrous poppnjay, who has sold successfully
before her face the children Of her womb until at
three-score, she stands chdess as Niobe, and shat
tered as areed-a R2hument of our domestic Stare
trade.
The last of this woman's progeny, the child Of her
stricken age, the luckess Benjamin Of her scattered
brood, was crippled boy. Even he, few months
slnce was sent to the shameless without even leave
taking from the anguished woman, because "niggers
sold high" Her deep drawn signs, as she drags
herself day after day, through her undated tasks.
are, to me, an eloquent comment upon our domestic
sIare trade. While such things may be heard and
seen every day al .our political metropolis, we need
not be surprised that men are appalled, at the hor
rors Of the middle passage. They have view of
some Of them at their doors.''

Democrat takes the following sensible view Of things
at the State House
The progress Of legislation. the past week, and
indeed ofthe whole session, has been slow and un-
important 1t seems to be the settled policy of the
wings to delay and put off everything they can
thus preventing the democratic and free soil parties
from accomplishing those great measures Of State
reform 50 imperiousy demanded by the best inter
ess OF the people and regret exceedingly to add
thata few old bunker democrats Cor pretended dem
ocrats, for they cannot be truly democrac) have
joined with the wings in all their measures of DELAY
and have thus prevented the election Of u. S. Sem
ator and retard the beneficial progress Of the legsa
ture 1t is astonishing that men elected by strong
democratic towns will go on, day after day, in voting
with the wings and thus defeating the democratic
and free soil parties. Traitors in our party are a
thousand times worse than open and honorable oppo-
nents. Bat those quasi democrats who thus do
more 10 njure and defeat the democratic party than
the wings can do, will receive their retribution-
The democracy will drop them and bury them deep
IN oblivion and disgrace.

fight, we think il duty 10 "fasten" some

it, We are told that at tho ratification
meeting on Monday, each candidate
pledged himself to labor for the success

all past differences. Well, so be it. We
have no particular objections; but recur-
renee to some of the reports of tho cam
paign ma throw the shadow Of doubt
over their patriotism aud enteg:ily.
Ii is unnecessary TO mention numes.--
We would Stale, however, that reports
were circulated about the candidates,
which we would hesitate to believe with.
out the strongest proof. One was charg.
ed with perjury. another with defalca'

another with positive dishonesty, another
with disgraceful management of public

Whether any or all of these charges
are true is better known TO those whc

may charge against any candidate viii

made by candidates Of each other, or BY
friends of candidates with their kuowl

FLYING MACHINE Successful Flight.
We have noticed several times the re-
port that in Madrid and Paris, certain
persons claimed to have invented a fly
ing machine, which would enable them
to navigate the air like bird. 1t would
seem that there is no humbug about it..
A Parisian Journal thus notices a sue.

said I'm ready and Immediately. plac'

perpendicular line. He was furnished
with a long thread of about one
hundred metres. at the end Of which ho
ha6 tied small leadon weight; aud in
two minutes he was thrce hundred foot
above our heads. o.. rs So.
Nothing could depict tho astopish
ment, or rather terror. of all of US; then
shouts aud bravos broke forth. which
wore absolutely frantic. M. d'Arvile,
by the aid of speaking trumpet. then
called to US, an going To make an OBJ

Whon the experiment was completed
two of the journalists. NJ. Emile Fon.

desired Ia make an ascent with the ma

they were dissuaded from the attempt by
their friends. On the 20,h or 25th of this
month, NJ. d'Arville announces that he
will make public scentiromthe Champ

choose to attend, which viii doubtless be

REDUCTroN oF Tolls ON THE Public
WoRKs.-As was anticipated in the no
tice Of tho Harrisburg Keystone of the
meeting between the Pennsylvania Ca
nal Commissioners and the agents of the
Transportation Lines, the wishes Of the
latter were acceded to, and an additional
reduction of tolls granted by the board
In consequence the transporters have re-
