Baltimore, or Long, Long Time Aeon
Inc a2oVe is the title of a very neat collection
OF poems in pamphlet form of "a pages, from the
pen OF our much esteemed and worthy fellow cit
lzen W.. B. B., to whose kindness we are indebted
1or a copy. 1t consists of four pieces, one bearing
the above title, the second called the s'Old Church
Bell" the third the "City Spring. and the fourth
"Fhe OldTown Clock.'' They are all local. bay-
ing exclusive reference to the City of Baltimore as
1t was "long, long time ago." but beautiful all,
and richly ~repaying every one who may be so for
tunate as to obtain a copy, for their perusal. If
there IS any one trait which above all Others we
admlre.in a poe;tit is the actual possession of deem
feellng, which he puts into his productions; and no
one can read the poems to which we allude with
out being convinced that the author speaks from
the heart IN every line which he has written. We
have seldom met with productions of any author,
conveying more feeling and clothed in more beauty.
than those to which we refer. Indeed so effective
are they, that the reader is conveyed back to the
scenes and periods described, and almost feels that
he too was an actor and participation in them. Our
poet Is a little cautious about dates, whether on
his o%naccount or that of his friend to whom the
INES are addressed we know not, but now and
then his muse ''o'erSteps his Caution, as from
some alluSion about tflashing maiden swords'' we
somehow or other had the last war brought I'D to
ouE minds, and fancied we saw our author as a
"trooper bold" even then able to bear arms for
his c%ountry's service, and as ready then to war in
her cause as he now is with ready pen, to battle in
the great cause of literature and rational progress
sion. But we will not invade the privacy which
the age of the respective parties has formed for
themselves, hut earnestly recommend 10 the nu-
merous readers of the authors productions in this
region, to secure us soon as possible a copy of
these poems. We would gladly give our readers a
specimen of each of these productions, but will
refrain from SO doing, in order that we may not mar
or anticipate the pleasure which they will derive
from reading them together. We give, however, the
concluding stanzas of "The Old Town Clock"
"'Thou'rt but the monitor OF Time
And bound to sound the hours,
And if we're startled by thy chime,
The faults not thine. but ours.
"But we may yet redeem past hours,
To wreathe with what are left,
And dress thy dial.plate with flowers
Whence all the thorns are ref:
That thus, when LIES last peal is rung.
From thy once dreaded bell,
a voice, responsive to thy tongue,
May whisper, all is we'll"
We expect to receive in a few days, a few COP
iesof the above work, and will be glad 10 receive
the names Of those who wish to subscribe to it.

ATELEeRAPHT TO THE PAcIFic.-A memorial was
presented to Congress, on Wednesday. asking for
agrant of 100000 acres of land, to be located a.
long the line of a telegraph, which the memorlists
propose to build between st. Louis and San Fran
CISCO, by the way of Salt Lake City. The memo
rialists propose to give to the Government, in re-
turn for the grant, the right, forever, to transmit,
free OF charge, over the line, all official dispatches
and communications with a preference over all 9th
ers. The importance of the measure, they say, ais
too great 10 be measured blythe value of few acres
of worthless land" The scheme is a magni6cen,
one; and so is the gift which they ask of the Co.
vernment. The expensiveness of the ideas of the
memorialists may be estimated by the fact, that
they call a million and a half a "few worthless a.
creS."

GOD BLESS THE AGED,

"That's right, boys! We like that
That's genuine old time politeness, :" thought
we, as we saw two little boys bow to an
aged man; that one act shows where the
mothers heart is, and what the fire side
circle may be at home.
There is something under those yellow
curls in the flashing of those blue eyes, that
will make more than men of ye, if great ye
are to be-that will make you good for
without goodness there is no true honor.
God bless the aged man. There are
world of memories clustering in bis bosom,
that send oftener the tear than the smile to
his dim eye. He has folded babies to his
bosom-he has dreamed over infant beauty
that dream that Hope weaved in the soul of
every parent. He has kissed the white lips,
and twined the golden ringlets round his
hard finger. He has felt that glow of which
sometimes tears are born, when the innocent
lips first said Father
He has bent over the little pallet at night
with that true one at his side, and read i'm
mortal dreams in dimples; he has woven
path for the unconscious sleeper, that
should be more brilliant than diamonds,
softer than beds Of roses for would it not
flash with the radiance of his love; would
not his love be as wall Of adamant, over
which no danger, with glaring eyeballs and
fiery breath could leap to destroy his hearts
own darling? Aud oh . woe. He has held
out his arms to fence back the cold angel
that with his cleaning scythe has glided
over those walls Of love, into the beautiful
path and spoiled the thornless flowers. He
has sank sobbing by the little still couch,
all curtained by angels; he has laid his
hand on the throbless bosom and wondered
at its waxen loveiness-but oh such a
dumb chilling wonder? He has shut out
sunlight from his home, and shuddered to
behold it, glaring full into that dark grave,
that long, last, narrow cradle for his babe,
in which the beautiful babe, and the beau
tiful body would never be rocked TO Waken- 1

ing, though the very birds sang their most
thrilling melodies all day by its side.
God bless the aged man! Sorrow with
folded hands and dropping brow, has taken
her abiding place at the very threshold Of
his heart. There is q wreath Of hyssop
bound about her forehead, and she holds in
one hand the faint, fickering torch, almost
inverted, and in the other the cup of life,
with but few drops of dregs at the bottom.
Under her feet lay meek eyed angels, the
hopes Of this world-but they have lost
their wings; they are hopelessy objects to
sorrow; yet like him whose soul they have
frightened, waiting for the change that
shall make them immortal And beyond
the outstretching of his arms, hangs the
glittering veil that his last feeble breath
shall rend asunder; and beyond that, o.
who has ever yet painted the glories of
heaven?
God bless the aged. Children, bend
your heads at the approach, lift your hats
reverently, speak to them as you would to
Gods messengers, love them dearly, and
never, never insult their gray hairs by one
irreverent word, or thoughtless smile

By G. D. PRENTICE.
Sweet moon, love thee, yet grieve
To gaze on thy pale orb tonight;
1t tells me of that last dear eve
passed with her, my souls delight.
Hill, vale, and wood, and stream were dyed,
In the pale glory of thy beams.
AS forth We wandered side by side,
Once more to tell loves burning dreams.
My fond arm was her living zone
My hand within her hand was pressed,
And love was in each earnest tone.
And rapture in each heaving breast
And many high and ferveL VOW
Was breathed from her full heart and mine,
While thy calm light was on her brow
Like pure religions seal and sign.
We knew, alas that we must part,
We knew We must be severed long,
Yet JOY was in each throbbing heart,
For love was deep, and faith was strong.
thousand memories of lhe past
Were busy in each glowing breast,
AMI hope upon the future cast
Her rainbow hues-and We were blest.
l craved boOn-Oh in that boon
There was wild delirious bliss;
All didst thou ever ga e, sweet moon,
Upon more impassioned kiss
The parting scene-one moment brief
Her dim and fading form l viewed;
Twas gone-and there stood in grief,
Amid life's awful solitude.
Tell me, sweet moon, for thou canst tell,
If fpasson still unchanged is hers
Do thoughts of Ine her heart still swell
Among her many worshippers?
Say, does she sometimes wander now
At eve beneath thy gentle flame,
To raise to heaven her angel-brow,
And breathe her absent lovers name?
Oh, when her gentle lids are wet,
pray thee mark each falling gem,
And tell ME if my image yet
Is pictured trembhngly in them!
Ay, tell me, does her bosom thrill
As wildly as Of yore for me;
Does her young heart adore me still,
Gr is that young heart changed like thee?
Oh, let thy beams, that ftest shine,
If still my love to her is dear,
Bear to her gentle heart from mine
A sigh, blessing, and a tear.
