AMERICAN ORGAN.
Our Childhood.
By GEORGE D. PRENTICE.


IT'S sad-yet sweet-to listen,
To the soft winds gentle swell,
And think we hear the music
Our childhood knew so WE'LL
To gaze out ON the even
And the boundless fields Of air,
And feel again our boyish wish,
To roam like angels there
There are many dreams Of gladness
That cling around the past
And from the tomb Of feeling
Old thoughts come throbbing fast
The forms we loved so dearly,
In the happy days now gone,
The beautiful and lovely,
So fair TO look upon.
Those bright and lovely maidens
Who seemed 80 formed for bliss,
Too glorious and too heavenly
For such world as this
Whose soft dark eyes seemed swimming
In sea Of liquid light
And whose locks of gold were streaming
Der brows so sunny bright
Whose smiles were like the sunshine
In the spring-time Of the year
Like the changeful CLEANS Of April
They followed every tear!
They have passed-like hope-away--
All their loveliness has fled
Oh! many heart is mourning
That they are with the dead.
And yet-the thought is saddening
To muse on such as they !,
And feel that all the beautiful
Are passing fast away
That the fair ones whom we love,
Grow to each loving breast,
Like tendrils of the clinging vine,
Then perish where they rest.
And can we but think Of these
In the soft and gentle spring,
When the trees are waving DER us,
And the flowers are blossoming!
For we know that winters coming
With his cold and stormy sky
And the glorious beauty around us
Is blooming but to die

AYERS PILLS.


Ga.-ss-~aan extensive trial of its virtues
has conclusivey shown with what success 1t accom-
plishes the purpose designed 1t is easy 70 make q
physical but not 30 easy to make the best OF all
Pis-one which should have none OF the objections,
but all the advantages Of every other This has been
attempted here and with what success would re-
specially submit to the public decision. 1t has been
unfortunate for the patient hitherto that almost every
purgative medicine Is acrimonious aud irritating to
| the bowels. This is not. Many Of them produce so
much gripping pain and revusion in the system TO
more than counterbalance the good to be derived from
them. These Pills produce no irritation or pain, I'M
less il arises from previously existing obstruction
or arrangement in the bowels. Being purely vege-
table no harm can arise from their use In any guam
tty; but 1t is better that any medicine should be
taken judicousy. Minute directions for their use in
the several diseases to which they applicable are
given on the box. Among the complaints which
have been speedily cured by them we may mention
Liver Complaint, in its various forms Of Jaundice
Indigestion Languor, and Loss of Appetite Lstless-
ness Irritability, Bilious Headache, Bilious Fever
Fever and Ague pain in the Side and Loins, for in
TRUTH all these but the consequence Of diseased
scton Of the liver Az an apersnt they afford prompt
Humors, Scrofula, and Scurvy, Colds, with soreness
of the body, Ulcers and impurty of the blood. In
short any and every case where purgative Is re-
qured.
They have also produced some singularly success
full cures in Rheumatism, Govt Dropsy, Gravel Fry
sipeas Palpitation Of the Heart Pains in the Back
Stomach and Side. They should be freely taken in
the spring OF Inc year. uhoou uhu PioPoiU
the system for the change of seasons An occasional
dose stimulates the stomach into healthy action and
restores the appetite and vigor. They purify the
blood, and by their stimuant action on the crcula-
tory system renoyate the strength Of the body, and
restore the wasted diseased energies Of the whole
organism. Hence an occasional dose is advantageous
even though no serious arrangement exists; but I'M
every purgatiye medicine reduces the strength, when
taken to excess The thousand cases in which
physic is required cannot be enumerated here, but
they suggest themselves to the reason OF every body
and it Is confidently believed this pill will answer
better purpose than anything which has hitherto been
available to mankind. When their virtues are once
known the public will no longer doubt what remedy
TO employ when in need Of cathartic medicine.
Being sugar-wrapped they are pleasant TO take and
being purely vegetable no harm can arise from their
use In any quantity.
For minute directions, the wrapper on the Box.

THE KEow-NorHING REvoLUrfoN.-In the nu-
merous little town elections which, within few
days past, have come off in all parts of the country
we see that the organization Of parties is rapidly
narrowing down to a struggle between all the rem
nants and fag-ends of the old parties and factions
of the day on the one side, and the Know-Nothings
on the other. Another remarkable feature Of these
10 al elections is this that in threeourths of them
the new American party have been victorious.
Among these victories they have carried the vii
lage Of Auburn-the headquarters Of w. Fl. Sew
ard-against all his available forces, and the Van
Buren, banburning free-soilers combined. In the
South these mysterious Know-Nothings have
achieved a triumph quite as remarkable. They
have carried the city of Alexandria, Virginia, by
large majority on the heels of the most elaborate
and learned of all the stump speeches Of Mr.. Wise
against this terrible secret party. Thus the work
goes on. The Know-Nothings have now to con-
tend against old fogy Wings and Seward Wings,
bunker Democrats, Buffalo Democrats, natives,
Irish and Germans, Protestants and Catholics, Alb
olitionism, secessionism, the administration, the
spols, Henry A. Wise, Captain Rynders, all the
Van Burens, all the old foges Forney, and the
Kitchen Cabinet and yet the Know-Nothings arc
not only holding their own, but marching steadily
ahead. Thus the new revolution goes on.

From the Albany Register.
The Fusion In New York.

Matters seem to be everywhere approaching a
crisis The good time coming when the " lion and
the lamb shall lie down together" is evidently
dawning A political millennium is at hand when
our old antagonisms are to be wiped out and an.
cent foes pig together as lovingly turtle-doves.
What jolly time 1t win be when William H. Sc
ward and John Van Buren, shall sleep in the same
bed and be covered by the same blanket. When
our friend Cassidy of the Albany Argus, shall eat
out of the same dish with Thurlow Weed, and
Senator Dickinson shall be one of span of 'wheel
horses" making dead pull at lifting fusion out of
the deep ruts
The very idea Of fusion is an acknowledgement
that the Wing party is dissolved; that its organ
ization is broken up; that discipline is impotent
that it's principles have become obsolete; that its
leaders and captains have surrendered their author
ity or deserted to the enemy, and sauue qui pet Is
the word. Where will these Wing masses 60 |?
On the one hand is the American party, composed
Of American men, fresh, vigorous, energetic, full
of generous enthusiasm, marching on from victory
TO victory. On the other is the agglomerated frag-
ments Of ancient locofocoism, shaking with the
palsy of age, and sluggish with the obesity Of po-
tical RIGHTEOUSNESS, Joined by the equally efete
and broken down Wing leaders and surfeited Office
holders Can there be any hesitating as to which
of these parties the Wing will join their fu-
ture political fortunes?

Mr.. JErrERsoS's great height and slender figure
exposed him to much ndicule from hisopponents.
His sobriquet with them was "Long Tom;" and
when his famous project Of the substitution Of gun
boats in place Of navy was adopted by Congress,
and the attempt was made to put It into practice,
the cannon, dsproportonably large, with which
each Of the RECONSTRUCTED craft was burdened, OBJ
tanned, in contempt the name Of a Long Tom"
Nothing could present q more singular contrast
than the figures of Mr.. jefferson and General Knox
the one very short as thick as he was long the
other lank and lean, and unusually tall. They
happened 10 meet one morning on the steps Of
General Washngton's lodgings, in Philadelphia.
The two gentlemen approached from opposite d.
ractions, and arriving at the same moment, a con-
test in etiquette took place. The general at the
head Of the army, and fun Of its chivarous po-
likeness, could not think Of passing in before
the co-equal head Of the Department Of State,
while the civil officer Of government was equally
averse TO take precedence Of the military and they
stood for some moments, each drawing back and
waving the other forward. In the midst Of this
somewhat entertaining scene came up, directly in
'front.' the notorious Judge Peters, the greatest wit
OF his day. Perceiving how matters stood, and
casting a sly glance from one to the other, he
pushed boldly between them, exclaiming as he
passed, pardon me, gentlemen, II in my haste
dash through thick and thin"
