AM EVENING REVERTE,

One rainy eve sat me down beneath the mur
 Ky skies, When sleepy hogs were grunting, and tobaccc sleds arise; Where tull-frogs sing the loudest, and the luriC yapor shoots thought was running through my mind, ant
 water through my boots; And as sudden as the thunder-clap far in the
 distance sunk, Once more l reused up my ideas, and this was the thought 1 thunIl lCh, is there not some happy land "a land be-
 yond the seas- Where pot-pies smoke in boundIess lakes, and
 dumplings grow on trees! Can gingerbread be found in stocks, and smear
 kase by the ton! And when you do job of work, you get the
 ready John?'' Where Natures lessons may be read, in every
 babbIing brook Where humble bees don't sting chap, and
 muley bulls don't hook Do people there get milk from cows. as much
 as from the pumps? Does chOlic ever come about, the meases or the
 humps! Do lovers fear or rival swans, to ''run them off
 the track?' And do they find the girls at home and never
 get the ''sack,' Do husbands bear upon their shouts the mark
 of finger nails! Do lambs skip over the verdant hills, and wag
 their wooIly tails! And in that land that's far away, do mad dogs
 ever bite? Can "green ones" see the "Elephant' at fifty
 cents sight? Do scents of oysters reach ones nose, upon each
 passing breeze? Do people fear for bed-bugs there, or ever dream
 of Aeas! Do trousers rip without cause, or brogans
 pinch your corns? And does the whiskcy make you "yorked" at
 half dozen s'hornes?' As if that land were nigh, there came a strange
 and pleasing smell; And then upon my list'ning ear the sound of
 footsteps fell; Al length I heard a deep-tonod voice, which
 seemed to mutter "AyeG' looked around--it was goat-it only holAer-
 ed "Bahr' My tran of thought was broken of'-my happy
 vision fled quiclIy hustled to my feet and scampered of
 to bed.

Moreover, l have furnished thee with beast of burden that thou, thy wife and thy offspring might travel more than one thousand furlongs, 10 the land of their nativity-even 10 the sepulchre of their fathers. Two days are not yet quite pass ed, Q! Enoch, since made a long journey of eighty furIongs, even 10 the threshold of thy dwelling, 10 receive of thee either gold or silver, jewels or raiment, and to see thy face in peace, and to satisfy my soul with bread. But To thou hadst gone out into the wilderness, so that found thee not Truly met thee in the way, like unto Saul, the son of Kish, Gas thy servant supposedly seeking for asses Yet thou wouldst not return with me to thy dwelling to admin ister unto me.

TIT. Buchanan at Home.

The LancqSteridn, one of the most vigo- rous Democratic journals in Pennsylvania, fills several columns of its last issue with
 the comments of other papers in the State, of tho same party, in reference 10 the ac-
 ton of Mir. BUcHANAN's friends in Harris
 burg Convention They concur in descri- bing Mr. BUCHANAN as destitute of the con-
 fderce of the voters in his own locality, notwithstanding his studied and frequent eflors to win popularity; and they attribute the larger portion of the exertions that are made in his behalf to the mangvures of po- litica trickSters. Looking at the broad line that now separates the CAss and BUCHANAN sections, and its tendency to become wider, they regard the defeat of Mir. BUCHANAN, in tte event of his nomination, as certain. The West Chester Jefersonian calculates that the protest of the CAss delegates rep resented forty thousand votes, and remarks that the loss of one-tenth of that number would endanger Mir. BUoHANAN's local suc' cess. Reviewing the unmistakable evidence of Reorganization presented in these artl- cles. the LdncaSteridn arrives at very gloomy though very rational conclusion as to the prospects of Democracy in the State
