o, memory, fragrant with the bloom
OF heather bells and roses

Its budding love uncloses!
Still paint upon life's noon, the gold
And purple of the dawning;
And let my manhood's sun behold
The dew of boyhood's morning!
call TO mind the summer day,
The early harvest moving,
The sky with sun and cloud at play.
And flowers with breezes blowing
When wild with JOY, pressed his lays,
A new-found treasure, to me,
And heard along the harvest ways
Their music chanting through me.
The glory of those golden hours
Seemed brighter for that singing,
From summer birds and meadow flowers
A swceter welcome bringing.
New light on home-seen nature bcamed,
New glory over Woman;
And daily life and duty seemed
as- No longer poor and common.
j woke to find the simple truth
OF fact and feeling better
Than all the dreams that held my ycnth
- A still repining debtor.
That Nature gives her hadmaid ART
The themes of sweet discoursing
The tender idols of the heart
In every tongue rehearsing.
Why dream of lands of gold and pearl,
OF knight and loving lady,
Wien farmer boy and barefoot girl
Were wandering there already!

And sank on crystal Devon.

The sweet-brier and the clover,
With Ayr and Doom, my native rills,
Their wood-hymns chanting over.
Der rank and pomp, as he had seen,

No longer common or uncean,
The child of Gods baptizing
My erring pride beheld the worth
OF life among the lowly,
The Bible at his Cottcr's hearth
Had made my own more holy.
And if at times an evil strain,
To lawless love appealing,
Broke in upon the sweet refrain
OF pure and healthful feeling,

No inward answer gaining;
No heart had / to see or hear
The discord and the staining.

His worth, in vain bewaiIings,
Sweet Soul of Song il own my debt
Uncancclled by his failingsl
Lament who will the ribald line
Which tells his lapse from duty,
How kissed the maddening lips of wine
Or wanton ones of beauty
But think, while falls that shade between
The erring one and Heaven;
That he who loved like Magdalene,
Like her may be forgiven.
Not his the song whose thunderous chime
Eternal echoes render
The mournful Tuscan's haunted rhyme,
And Millions starry splendor!
But who his human heart has laid,
To Natures bosom nearer !
Who sweetened toll like him, or paid
To love tribute dcarcr!
Through all his tuneful art, how strong
The human feeling gushes f!
The very moonlight of his song
Is warm with smiles and bushes
Give lettcrcd pomp to teeth of Time;
So "Bonnic Doom" but tarry;
Blot ont the Epic's stately rhyme,
But spare his Highland Mary!

Mr.. Harmon Marsh was then called
out. He said he had received aproposi-
ton, with request to present it toTthis
Meeting, that If the people would vote
the one hundred thousand dollars with
out a fight, no more would be asked of
them. The proposition was accompanied
with some papers of memoranda, also to
be read to the Meeting. This is as we
remember what Mr.. Marsh said. He
said when the papers were put into his
hands, he asked if they were his, and ON
being answered, yes, he threw them into
the stove and if the person making the
proposition was here and made 1t, he
should move to throw him out of the
window.
Mr.. Pease then offered resolution OF
Non-Intercourse with the City of Keno
sha, unless they would get the Loan Law
repealed.
Considerable discussion followed this.
DR.. Paddock liked the idea but it was
premature. People were not yet pre-
pared. Besides, he did not want to ASK
any thing of Kenosha people. Let them
do as they pleased, and if they did not
do right. at the next meeting he for one
would go the resolution. ba
Mr.. Kellogg, Mr.. McKisson, and seve-
raj others supported the resolution.
Mr.. McKisson said fit passed, it ought
to be lived up to. That one of the argu-
ments used by Judge Hale in favor OF
the Bill was that Kenosha was the great
est wheat market between Milwaukee
and Chicago, and he proved it by show
ing the wheat receipts. And this argu-
ment the people had furnished.
In the excitement attending it. the wri-
ter forgets whether it passed, or was laid
over till the next meeting.
On motion Of Mr. Marsh, a Committee
of three was appointed to employ coun-
sci.
On motion the same Committee was
directed to procure the publication of the
proceedings of the Meeting in three pa
pers in the City of New York, and in the
Keuosha City papers.
The Committee was also instructed to
inquire into the cost and feasibility Of es-
tablishing newspaper devoted to tho

Jew nights since some persons, supposed to
be Indians, took from the rancho Of Major
Egery, Of Black Point, about twenty five miles
to the north of this place, a number Of horses,
and drove them off. The trail, as discovered,
led towards Refugo, at which place horse be-
longing to Judge Norton, and one to neighbor
| of his, also were taken, but which were found
on the following day, having escaped from the
drove near the head Of the Souse, as well as can
be judged. On the same night ca5allada, be-
longing to Mr.. Weldera, some three miles above
Major Egery's, was also driven off, rather indi-
eating from appearances that the perpetrators
had, before commencing their thefts, divided in
two companies, but uniting again some few
miles up the Arkansas river. Farther above
this a caballado was driven off, which belonged
to Castro's rancho, making the total number
siderably over two hundred. In their passage
up the river, the thieves had missed the rancho
belonging to Messrs. Rafael and Trinidad Al
drete; upon this were from three to four hun
dred head of horses, besides large stock of
cattle, which consequently escaped them
A few men, we'll armed and mounted, had
started in pursuit of the robbers. 1t is sus-
pected that the depredations were not the work

DEATH FROM A SNAKE BITE.-The San Au.
gustine Red Lander of the 18th ult has the
following:
We learn that on Monday evening, the 21st
inst, Mr.. Levi Grow, residing on the Ayish
Bayou, some twelve or fifteen miles south of
! this place, was bitten by rattlesnake, and died
IN a few hours. He was in the woods, about
three-fourths of mile from home, chopping
The snake struck him on the heel of the right
foot, near the ANGLE. and one fang slightly en-
| tered the skin. Mr.. Crow Immediately started
for home, and told his family he had killed the
snake, On examining the place, however, no
sign Of it could be found, The neighbors were
called in, and such remedies as could be pro-
cured applied; but it was several hours before
any could be obtained, and none then, that was
suitable. The poison appears to have imme-
diately diffused itself throughout the system
The swelling was confined to the stomach and
chest; the wound was not swollen more than
any other part, and the only indications of a
wound was the scratch or puncture occasioned
by the fang of the snake. Death ensued in five
or six hours after the bite; and although a
physician was sent for as soon as practicable, it
was impossible for him to arrive in time

SUBSTITUTION OF WINE FOR ALcoHoL.-Th
New York Quarterly, journal which, we are
informed, is edited mostly by clergymen, says
&c The moderate use of wine would appear
happily adapted, indeed, to the American char
acter. 1t would appear eminently suited alike
to refresh 1t in its energies, and to support it
under Its cares. An excited as well as ex-
hausted mind may be benefited by its balms.
As lago says-and better and more worthy au-
thorities have confirmed its Wine is good,
familiar creature, IT 1T be aoeH used.a Every
thing, OF course, depends upon that. But we
cannot for the life of us see why it should not
be as well used in America as it is in Europe.
We need its comforts here as well as they do
there; and we may enjoy its conviviality with
as high zest, and as much within the bounds
OF moderation, too. The first glass for my
