The shadow on the dial plate stands STILL

He comes to-night--At last the sun is sinking,
His shadows lengthen 'er the level plain,
grow impatient, gazing thus and thinking, a
And waiting for his coming step in vain,-
He comes to-night.
He comes to-night-The evening star is shining
How can he loiter thus along the way?
He knows that for his presence | am pining,
And chide the lazy hours of tagging day

And losing time SO dear to love as this,--

And closely folding me In mute caress;
Oh thus to nestle in his arms is pleasant,
And lip to lip in murmuring transport press.

How dear he holds me in his inmost heart, y

SELECT POETRY.


The following song was composed and SUNG o7
Tenry Brady, at the Printers Festival held IN
leading, on the 9th uit, III honor of the birth
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN.
As honest men, attend and hear,
The serious fact-the times are dear;
Who owes bill, It's juss as cleaE
As starlight in the winter,
That he should come without delay
That's il he can-that bill TO pay,
And ere he puts his purse away,
Fork over to the printer.
The printers's cheek is seldom red;
The hne machinery of his head
Is working when you are in bed,
Your true and faithful 'Mentor;'
All day and night he wears his shoes,
And brains, b farnish you with news;
But msa Af eonscisses ae'er refuse
To pay the toiling printer. Il
'Tis known, or ought to be by all,
His dues are scattered, and they'er small.
And If not paid, he's bound TO fall
In debt for fuel, bread, rent or
Perhaps his paper, then to square
Up with his help-a double care
Bows down his head-now is it fair
That you don't pay the prlnteT2
his WiIe anu ilttie pFdLVieFS loCy
Are now depending upon you;
And if you pay the score that's due,
Necessity can't stint hes;
But if you don't, as gnawS the mole,
Twill through you cons nience eat a hole
A nd brand the foreh ead thus-'N0 S04!,'
OF him who cheats the printer
The cats will new between your feet,
The dogs will bite you in the stree:,
And every urchin that you meet,
Will roar with voice Of stentor
'Look to your pockets, there he goes,
The chap that wears the printers clothes
And proud, though everybody knows
The grub he gnawed the printerp
Be simply just, and don't disgrace
Yourself, but beg the Lord of Grace
To thaw that hardened, icy case
That honesty may enter,
This done, man will with man act fair,
Aad all will have the tim to spare,
Then will the editorial chair
Support well paid printer.

Both are intensely fond OF clustering, and, II
must be added, equally fond Of terminating .
quarrel by profuse outpouring of apologies
and assurances Of regard for their adversary.
Boz are naturally insolent and naughty in
their language and demeanor but both are
accustomed to be set down with marvellous ease,
and submit with philosophy. Endowed, in
short, with no small share OF the character Of
the coward and bully, these two men, finding
themselves in position Of power and authori-
ty, have INDUCED their instinct so far ~ to
jeopardife the peace existing between the
countries over which they are set. They soon
perceived the danger and quickly receded from
the foolirh position they assumed at first: But
the lesson will not be lost on the public. And
when the time comes for the publication OF the
correspondence, the people both here and in
England will measure the expense and cost Of
iDdulgipg themselves in the luxury of ministries
de circumstance by IN inquiry into the cost of a
war between the United States and Great
Britain.

and apparently rejciced when they escaped The
hands of justice. On the Baker trial, the line be-
tween the professional fighting man and the po-
heeuan, Was drawn go narrow that they blend
ed together, till it became almost impossible to
Say where one began and the other ended. IL
appeared that men wearing the police uniform
engaged in fights with regular shoulder hit,
iers--nct professional fights in the discharge
of their duty ~ police officers and for The
preservation Of the peace; but fights OF the
very kind which they were paid fourteen
dollars week to suppress. Finally,
the investigation before the Legislative Com
Miitee discioses an utter rottenness in the
police arrangements which even surpasses all
former disclosures in infamy. It appears that
many Of these paid guardians Of the public
peace prey like vnltures on the unfortunate
women who are outiawed by modern society,
tax them sCr presents when they 60 out on tar
get excursions, tax them for presents at New
Year and Christmas, levy toll upon them when
business takes them that way, and extort money
from them when they meet, the whole being in
| consideration Of the high and mighty protection
| OF the rascally officer, who can obtain dis
charge for an unprotected female when arrest
ed and taken to the station bonse, and Who
| when required, can drop in discreetly and ter
| rify an insubordinate girl into submission to
| her tyrannical mistress.
We likewise learn that besides these pariahs
not few of the force are in league with
q parcel of sharks who hang about the
aha in ord IN ha inc IL md
prisoners. We are told that it is usual, y
daily practice, which has existed for years,
for Keepers and officers at the Tombs
and other station houses to sell to GER
tain lawyers the monopoly Of the cases
Of the prisoners under their centred for
remuneration equal to from thirty to forty
per cent on the gross amount extorted from
the poor prisoners One lawyer-Of respecta-
BILE standing-tells us that he used to do this,
but when the police raised the per centage
from thirty to forty per cent, he retired from
the business, as he did not care to- pay so much;
ana now, he says, no matter how ardently
prisoner may desire ohsve him for his counsel,
it is impossible for him to act, for the keepers
of the prisons will not allow him to communi-
cate with his client.
Now, we ask the Legislature at Albany
whether these things can or ought to be
tcieratedg Was there ever nything worse
than the facts we have related in the most
corrupt city Of Europe in the most cor
rupt ageY Was there anything worse at
Rome at the time when even the vigor and
the venom of Taclus failed to depict the
corruption of the place? And what shall We
deserve If we submit to this and allow this
Legislative session to pass without the enact
ment of new charter with wholesome pro-
visions?
