LET Me IN"
By FLORENCE PERCY.

When the summer evenings shadows
Yelled the earth's calm bosom Ger,
Came young child, faint and weary,
Tapping al cottage door;
Wandering through the winding wood-Paths
MY worn feet too long have been;
Let me in, oh, gentle mother,
Let me in -
Years passed on--his eager spirit
Gladly watched the flying hours;
~ will be a child no longer,
Finding bliss in birds and flowers
will seek the bands of pleasure,
| will join their merry din;
Let me IN to JOY and adness,
Let me in ;"
Years sped on--yet vainly yearning,
Murmuring still the restless heart
81 am tired of heartless folly,
Let the glittering cheat depart;
have found in worldly pleasure
Nought to happiness akin,
Let me in to Loves warm presence,
Let me in ~
Years few on--a youth no longer,
Still he owned The restless heart;
81 am tired of Loves oft durance;
Sweer-voiced syren, we must part;
| will gain a laurel chapIet,
And worlds applause will win:
Let me in to fame and glory,
Let me i'm
Years fed on-the restless spirit
Never found the bliss il sought;
Answered hopes and granted blessings
Only new aspirings brought
a. am tired of earth's vain glory,
am tired of grief and sin,
Let me in TO rest eternal,
Let me in :"
Thus the unquiet yearning spirit,
Taunted by vague unrest,
Knocks and calls at every gateway,
In vain and fruitIess quest;
Ever striving some new blessing,
Some new happiness to win
At some portal ever saying,
Let me in !"

Texas Preaching.

Norton, of the Mt. Vernon Whig, is an
observing man, for a traveller. We lately
copied his report of capstan trial, in Ar
kansas; and now we find in his paper a
letter from him in Texas, near Shreveport,
where he gives specimen of "the preaching
of the gospel" on Timber Gut.

The DEVILS Heritage

The following amusing anecdote was rela,
ted by stranger who happened to be pres
ent at meeting recently in Erie. Recent
developments would seem to indicate that
there is more truth tllan fiction in the narra-
tive.
The president then rose and requested if
any railroad man or woman was present to
offer what views they had, and he would
protect them. At this suggestion, an elder
ly lady, apparently stranger, rose and said
that she condemned the course of the people
here that they had exhibited very disor-
derly appearance, and reminded her of an
anecdote that was related to her some time
since, and which, she said, very truthfully
represented, not only the riotous disposition
of the inhabitants, but the slow, sleepy and
indubltable mark that nature had stamped
upon them. II was told to me by an old
citizen, whose years had assisted him in ap-
preclatingi it. 1t was nearly as follows =
After the creation of the world, the Lord
and the Devil quarrelled as to the proper
tionate share each should take. The Lord
said that through his wisdom and forethought
he had created the world from nothing. into
mass of reality. "But," said the Devil.
possession is two-thirds, and claim the
larger portion on that score" But the Lord
was more inclined to settle it by reason, To-
gic, and law; and the Devil seeing that he
must yield, reluctantly gave piece by piece,
until all had gone but one little corner, which
he clapped his hands on and resolutely resis-
ted all further encroachments. He said he
must have residence, and he had surrender
ed almost all, but he must have the corner,
as it afforded all the favorable inducements
for carrying out his multifarious business.
The Lord, when he looked at it, yielded i'm
mediately, and he said that he never yet had
had any control over that corner, and the
Devil might take it and welcome He took
it, named it Erie, and reigns supreme there
even up to the present day.

ships arrived in the port bringing an aggregate OF
a,os7 passengers. One OF these vessels, the Isaac
Ben, with COZ passengers from Havre, lst ninetee

huy;ed 81 of them at sea from the same cause. Tho
Yorktovn has been detained at Quarantine on this
account.
II s significant fact tina. the excessive mortality
at sea, last year, commenced at about this time
During September, 1853, 2s,659 passengers arrived
in this port ESQ died at sea- and lo7 were landed sick
IN August of the year. 81 27o emigrants arrived
at New York, deaths occurred at sea, and but S.
were landed sick. For August, 1854, the mortality

At meeting of the electors OF this town held about

aired
Re.red That viii not Appropriate any money moneys
for the purchase Of spirtuous liquors.
This resolution was made and carried almost en-
tirely by the Anti MaiDeLaw men, undoubtedly for
the purpose Of making our new Liquor Law unpopu-
lar. This was a mistake their part, as every true
Temperance man can do without the I" erH cri,ter."
The first arrest under the new law made yes

Inent Of the person arrested he not pay the
fine Of $50 which is the penalty for the first Oense.
j am reliably Informed that one of our constabes has
at the present time six different processes for the
rest of inebra,es. This seems if the authorities
intend TO strictly enforce the law As to the workings
Of the law may cay that il operates well; and the
reason that we have any drunkenness among us is
this we are situated within two miles of the New
York lne and the nearest village in that State con-
taiDs about twenty Tum-holes. The drunksrds
spoken of before procured their liquor in every case
in that place; yet the number of drunken persons
seen in this town is not fourth large it
