Do they miss me at home--do they miss mef
,Twould be an assurance most dear,
To know AZ this moment some loved one,
Were saying, wish he were mere;
To feel that the group at the fireside,
Were thinking of me as roam;
Oh. yes, twould be JOY without measure,
Toknow that they miss me at home.
When twilight approaches--the season.
THAT ever is sacred TO song
Does some one repcatmy name over,
An SIGH that tarry so lOngf
And Ia therc no chord In the music,

And cord in each heart that AWAKEN
Regret at my wearlsome sla!'
Do thew set me chair at the table, -.
When evenings home pleasures are hlShi
when the candles are lit in the parlor,
An the stars in the calm azue skyE
And when the ''good night's' repeated,
And all lay down TO their sleep,

And pleasures less hale than Oclore'

An OLD APPLE.-Near one year>since
we acknowledged the receipt from the late
Mr.. Hugh Morrison, of Belmont county,
of an apple of the crop of 1852, being then
about one year and a half old. We have

possession until the present time; but we
are reluctantly compelled to record its de-

"Ir is singular" says the Newark Daily
Advertiser, ''yet it has been remarked by
persons of observation, that the old Romans
seem not to have bequeathed their physiog-
nomy to the Italians of the present day, but
that the Americans, especially of the North
ern States, resemble them most ofany 9th
people now existing, in the general fea-
lures of the face Judging from well-authen-
ticated statues of Cicero, Tacitus, Seneca,
and other men who inhabited Italy sixteen
or eighteen centuries ago, they had not on
" general American cast circumference,
but possessed some of the particular fea-
lures considered of great Importance by
physiognomists, such as the forehead, mouth
and that most prominent and emphatic OF
all, tbs nose of our country. At any rate
travellers, have said, that most pleasant
home feeling always came over them, when
surrounded by the statues of the grea
forefathers Of the present Roman race
They were used to such faces at home
claimed Immediate acquaintance with them
sympathised with, and seemed to under
stand them. They were no longer stran
gers in strange land, as they felt the,
were in going from their ideal society t
the real living population nthe, drawing
rooms and streets. Whittier has the oil
: Roman likeness gone, then, if not to Amer
lea? Is it not in Italy at this day."

nEThat the "Know Nothings" is but

from the fact that they are not only whigglsh

that in all elections where they have shown
themselves at the polls, they have support
ed wings to the entire exclusion Of demo-
crats.-Eogte.

THE Know Mornings. THE result Of
the corporate elections in New Orleans,
Washington and Philadelphia, shows the
organization ola powerful interest known
by the significant appellation which heads
this article. They have come upon the
politicians as some of those signal scourgcs
with which heaven has chosen to affiict the
wickedness ofman, have come upon the
earth, moving inscrutable and irresistible
and inexorable power, and leaving no other
record of its nature than the devastations Of
its path. Politicians stand aghast. They
have been struck dumb in the councils
They have been carried fainting from the
feasts. Their charms have lost their po-
tency. Their pride is humblcd. Like the
storm of hail and birthstone which swept
over the doomed cities,-like the pestil-
ence which spared not the Eunuch at the
footstool ofthe Monarch on the throne, the
throne, the Know Nothings' seem moving
over the land on mission of political pun
ishment and prostration. AS these severe
marks of divine indignation followed by
PRAYER, repentance and reformation, w
may hope that few more salutary admo
nitions may have the effect of restoring tn
purity of official appointment and patty ac
ton throughout the United States.
