Wit thou plead for the drunkard tiere7
Wilt thou make @the of the weak" thy care
Remember thy brother in bonds, by far
More dreadful than shackels of despots are?
What though he beareth bleated frame,
An idiots speech, and panper's name
IT'S the working bane of poison slow,
That hath made him Thus outeast and vie. and low
And still. though wretched and guilty he be, GO
God Writeth the Poisoner, Yiler than hei
Is It nought to thee, that thy voice may save
Such perishing ones from loathsome grave?
Is it nought, to the brutalised form to restore
The godlke image that it bore?
The fash of mind to the vacant eye?
And the spirit its lost divinity?
Remember the -door in the hear" may ope.
Though long unused, at the call of Hope;
And the MAN, set free, shall reward thy prayr;-
Then 60. and plead, for the drunkard there:
Wilt thou plead for the drunkard's wife?
Think of her weary and joyless life
Once there was light on that care-worn brow.
In the eye so faded and sunken now,
Perchanee she was happy and fond. and fair,
As one thou art guarding with tenderest care;
Perchance Hope wove, with her golden CLEANS
Visions as bright for her childhood's dreams;
And sang as sweet her bridal day.
OF cloudless sky, and rose-strewn way.
But the darkness came, and the flowers shrunk up
In the whitening blight of the dr,mkard,s cupi
Now Love is dying, and Hope is dead
In the home whence plenty and peace have fed
Think of her. tol;ng in rags and cold,
While the rum-seer clutcheth her hard-earned gold
Feeling only the desolate can,
The eight of proud worlds pitiless ban;
Pining in loneliness, want, and strife
And go and plead for the drunkards wife
Wilt thou plead for the drunkards child2
Look at him, shivering haggard, and wild |!
Turn to thine own in his bounding glee,
With his careless laugh. and his footsteps Free
Think of him now, drunkards son ]
ITO long, long list twill add only oneD
Shrinking in dread from the threatening eye.
OF the maniac father staggering by;
Hungry and tattered, and most forlorn,
Victim Of playfellow's jest and scorn,-
Shuddering at footstep and voice at the door,
Wishing his sad young life Ger;
Weeping at night on his narrow cot,
Where fathers blessing hoTereth not!
Think of him turning to Vice and Sin
Only their temples will welcome him in
And the downward path is easy to tread,
With the brand of shame the youthful head -
Think of him early with guih dsfled-
And go and plead for the drunkards child

The Days gone by.
BIZ CHARLES SWAIN.

The days gone by-'iis sad yet swee-,
To list the strain of parted hours;
To think of those We loved TO meet f
When children mid tho lsand lowers
The scenes we ruyed--romantic-lon
Ere yet our hearts had learned to sigh
The dreams of glory once our own
In dAys gone by-in days gone by!
The days gone by-O! is there not
A charm-a feeling in those Words III
A music neer to be forgot. -a
Struck out from memory's sweetest chords (!
With many tone TO wake tear,
And many thought We fain would fly:
Z o still to every heart are dear
The days gene by-the days gone BY
Tic days gone by-they have spell
To burst the cerensnfs of the grave:
And from oblivion deepest cell ziH$
The forms we loved and lust-to save!
Time may not fade those locks of Light
Still. beauteous 10 the mental eye,
As the first hour they blest our sight,
In days gone by-in days gone by!
J. The days gone by-Man's best essay
One fadeiess work to leave behind
Before their might hath passed away,
Like dust upon the desert wind;
The very mountains have grown grey
And stars have vanished from the sky-
The youDg-the fair--oh where are they!
With duys gone by--wi;h days gone by!
The days gone by--from shore to shore
g Their ever lenglhening shadows spread,
Onion till time shall breathe no more
"a And earth itself be with the dead; i;
Each brief--unnoticed- minute bears
The mandate of its God on high;
Aud death and silence are the heirs
OF days gone by-of days gone by!

cles:
: Ii tie Wi!'ie was a fair-haired boy, the
child Of Chris,i,n parents, though born in

his end was beau fully affecting to Chris

THE SENTIMENT AMONG DEMOCRATS.

tExtaci Coopersown Sew York Freemnns Journnl
Within the past week have conversed with a num-
Der of leading democrats of this county in regard to the
present position Of the democratic party of this STATE On
his paint found difference of sentimenta agreed
that the present division Of the democratic party is
ran,able and unjustiabe In this opinion many promi-
ment hard shells" fully 1t is evident to all men
of all parties that divided upon any question OF
principeit is division in regard Such being
the case our position i. n humiliang every true
hearted and honest democrat
There is therefore tangible why the demo
cratic party Of New York should remain in its present d.
yded state while enemies triumph us at the cleo
lions We convinced that all true democrats of what
name or title entertain this sentiment What then
is TO hinder cordial reunion and concentration Of
strength upon one State ticket Nothing but the inu-
ence of few disappointed and ambitious leaders who
looking ahead TO the presidential election and the
of certain presses in the interest of these leaders
These influences may possibly keep up two organizations
this fall but sure another year rolls heads
so will the democratic masses be found voting to-
gether in 1855.
