/ am Thine.

Sunlight is sleeping on the hills
And mid soft leaves of glowing greer
Old ruined towers with nodding walls
And arches st ern, and rocks are seen.
Anon, a Thousand stars look down
Into the dark and waveless Rhine
To each, a silver eye5sends back
A look that whispers, l am thine!
Sweet poets unto us have sung,
How, in the sunny Persian bowers,
Though countless blossoms hourly ppe,
The Rose is queen Of ali the flow w+ers;
And how, throughout the solemn nj ght,
Soft shaded by favorite vine,
The Bulbul sings, the willie she sleeps,
Love me, sweet angel l am thine.
The helianthus to her god
Is ever murmuring the song
The ring-dove, to her faithful mate.
Repeats the music all day long;
And have heard thht gentle maid
May breathe it to her Valentine
But never, unless he shall ask.
Will to mine SAT, am thine!

TO is the fusion Abolition ticket nominated at

great abuse Of language to term them Demo-

does any thing but vigorously oppose the hy-
brid Fusion nominations. The same Adolf

TIE State OF Russia.

the condition Of the poorer classes in St. Pc
Iersburgh:
Letters from ST. Petersburgh give a very
gloomy picture Of the situation Of the work
ing classes in Russia. The privations which
the war imposes on The population are sensi-
bly, felt, especial lily in The capital, on account
Of the DEAFNESS of conveyance by land during
the summer. Provisions Of all kinds, even
bread, are enormously dear. The wives and
children of the soldiers of the reserve ard OF
the veterans have followed them into the
towns. They encamp IN the streets and live
on public charity. Discouragement is every
where. There is but little coal left in the
store houses of the government, and private
manufactures will soon be obliged to suspend
their operations on account of the want Of
fuel. 1t is more than doubtful that, as
has been stated, a coal mine has been
discovered in Russia. The celebrated En-
g ish geologist, cir Robert MuIchison, does
not hesitate TO declare that such q discovery

atoms made Tor works in a condition of partial
