The beauties Of nature, how grand and sublime,
AS swiftly over them rnshes old Time,
His death yielding scythe may sweep nations away,
But the beauties of nature, will never decay.
! he noble green forests, majestic and fair,
The ripping stream, breaking summers still air,
Each speak to the heart they glide on their way
The beauties of nature, will never decay.
The small silver lake, with her bosom so white.
As DER her the moon casts her shadow by night,
And the sun-beam which rest on its surface by day
81 ys the beauties of nature will never decay
The green CLASSY fields, where the violets grow,
The blue sky, which looks down on us here below.
Each tells the same story by night and by day,
The beauties ofnature will never decay.
The wide spreading ocean now leaps into sighs,
All DO wed with islands, so lonely in night
Each one. formed by nature, in glorious array,
Say the beauties of nature will never decay.
How calm and how sweet at the still hours Of even
To walk forth and gaze at the stars in the heavens
Which in words that plain to the heart, seem to
say,

Extra Session Of the Legislature,

Extra Session Of the Legislature.
Mr.. EDIToR-You will SEQ the Gazette of
this county has became rabid upon tho subject
of tho proposed Mass Railroad Meeting at
Jackson, and an extra session and gives public
opinion as adverse to the propositions.
The Gazette has an undoubted right to
exhibit signs of hydrophobia upon this, or any
other subject; but assuming to dictate public
opinion for this county is quite another thing,
and one in which the Editor is counting entire
ly without his host The fact that a large
share of the voters of this county are in favor
of an extra session and the general, law is no.
torious.
Aside from general principles, ,thero are many
and strong reasons why an extra session should
be called. The position of things at Lansing,
tho present wintor, would be entirely different
from their position at the last session. The
single subject of the session would be presented
and decided upon its merits, entirely discon-
nected with any other interest. The over
whelming power of the Central Railroad Com
pany could not by any possibility, bring to its
aid 1.-THE ofthe forces of last winter. II could
not secure the services OF corpse of members
of the Congress, dogging the rooms of mem
bers of the Legislature, with the patronage of
the General Government in their hands filling
their ears with promises of Post and Land OF
ices, Consulships. and Pacific station. There
are not score of minor projects TO be com
bined, forming controlling power. the whole
to bear npon this sin question. The Insane
Asylum has been located and lobbes dispers-
cd. The Normal School will not be required
10 furnish its quota of votes. The Saut Cana,
will not progres without the aid of the Contra
Company. The friends of tho Oakland and
Ottawa Railroad are Informed that that Com
pany have secured their loan and should not
oppose the general principle And very
much mistake. if many members after mature
reflection, would not like an opportunity of
leaving upon the journals record that should
not tell, merely that they were members at a
single session, and that the corrupt session. /
