NIGHT


BY HENRY w. LoNGFELLow,
Ine day is done and the darkness
FAILS from the wings of night,
ASA feather is waited downward
From an eagle in nis Higtt
see The lights oil the village,
G'eam through the rain aud the mist,
Ana feeling OF sadness comes DER me-
That my soul eauno. resisl;
A ceiling of sadness and longing,
mat Is not akin TO pain,
But resembles sorrow only
AS the mist resembles the rain
Come ,eid to me some poem,
Some simple and heartfelt lay,
Inat shall s)ethe his res less Feline
And Danish the thoughts OF day.
Not from tbs grand oil masters.
Notfrom the Bard sublime,
Whose distant footsteps echo
Ihroug! corridors OF TIM.
For like strains of martial music.
n@.f mighty thoughts suggest
hiss end ess toll and endeavor:
And to night | long fer rest.
Read from some humble poet.
Whose songs gus1 from his teart.
As showers from the clouds OF sumner.
Ortear5 from the eyeids start
Who throagh long DAYS of labor,
And nights devoid oiease,
Sail heard in his soul the music
OF wonderful melodies.
Such songs have power 10 quiet
The restless pu Sc oil care,
And comes ike the benediction
That follows after prayer.
Then read from the treasured yoTume
The poem OF tiny choice,
and lend 10 the rhyme OF the Poet
The bea uty ofthy voice,
And the night shall be filed with music
Aud The cares that intest the day
snail Told their tents hike the Arabs,
And as silently steal away.

A ROMANTIC INCIDENTAL Paris letter writer
says:-"A romantic incident connected with the
unfortunate and beautiful Countess de Bocarme
has just been made public. You may recollect
the Count de Bocarme, the Countesss husban nd
was executed about year since in Belgium, for
the murder OF his brother in law, and the Conduct
of his lady on that trying occasion, together with
her beauty, made so strong an impression on the
heart off young EDgshman residing in Paris
that he was induced to offer her his hand; the offer
was declined for the reason that she had deter
mined never again to marry. The young lover
has just died, and bequeathed her fortune of six
hundred thousand francs.

Mr. Walsh in a late letter from Paris saws
Yesterday morning leading thorough Repub.
lean. who filed high office under the Provisional
Government held conversation with me, for at
least an hour, in my study, on the situation of af
fairs lie avowed that the Democracy had re-
eelved prostrating and stunning blow; it must
resign Itself, probably for considerable time, to
endurance ana secusion, it had been materially
injured by its connection with socialists and so,
cialism with wild theories and wild men.
the Aiontignards, by their coarse turbulence and
their extravaganza of doctrine, had alarmed the
properly and industry of the nation. The bour-
geols every where. and even the regular OPERA
ives, thought that, now, they would thrive and
need fear no moestation."

MEMORIAL.

To the Senate and House Of Representatives. Qfihe
United States in Congress assembled The memo
rial Of the undersigned respectfully represents that
they are entitled 10 Bounty Land, under the act
Of 18th Of September, 1850, that they informed
and believe that the INDICATED warrants are worth
more to ihe,n than the patented lands would be,
that they do not expect or desire 10 reside on tho
land thus granted; that IL patented TO them, the
expense Of agencies and taxes will be an animal
charge, reducing the value Of the grant, which
they could avoid il permitted to sell the warrant
Your memorialists further represent that the law,
by preventing the sale of the warrants, assure
that the officers and volunteers entitled to bounty
lands, are not competent to act for themselves,
whereas many Of them are among the most intel
Iigent and respectable citizens Of the States They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
may be so modified as TO make the warrants for
bounty lands assignabe, and they will ever
pray, &c.
