The hasy noon-tide oreeps,
And the shrill cricket sleeps,
Hinder the grsss:
When soft the shadows lie,
And clouds ssil DER the sky,
And the idle winds so by,
- Ne heavy scent Of blossoms AZ they pass
Then. when the silent stream
Lspses a. in dream,
And the water lilies CLEAN
Up 10 the sun
When The hot and burdeBed dsy,
Rests on i.s downward way,
When the moth forgets 70 play,
Al u Flooding ant may dream Der Work is done
Then from the noise Of war,
And the din Of earth afar,
Like tome forgot; star
Dropt from the sky;
The sounds Of love and fear,
All voices sad and clear,
BAnisbed 10 silence dresr
fbe wiling tbrall Of frances sweet lie.
Some melancholy gale,
Breaches it's my steIious tale,
TIL The rose's lips grow pale
With her sigbs;
And o er my thoughts are csst,
Jints Of the vanished past,
Glores that faded fast
1eneved TO splenoor in my dreaming eyes.
Az poised on vibrant wings,
Where it's sweet treasure swings,
The honey lover elinge

From Tzs London
GOING HOME.

From T7s London Ap,eaeam
GOING HOME,
WE said thst the days were evil,
We felt that they might be few,
For low wss our fortunes level,
And heavy the winters grew;
But one who had no possession
Looked up 10 the azure dome,
And said, ia bis simple fashion,
"Dear friends, we are going home.
Tbis world is the same dull market
That wearied it, earliest sage;
The times to the wise are dark yet,
And so hath been msBy an age.
And rich grow the toiiiDg nations,
And red grow the battle-speIs,
And 6reary with desola,iOns
Roll onward the laden years.
"Wbst need Of the chsDgeless story
Which time hath go often told,
The speeter that follows glory,
The canker that comes with gOld,-
That wisdom and strength and honor,
Must fade Ike the far ses-foam,
And Death is the only winner =
But, friends, We are going home
"The homes we had hoped to rest in
Were open to sin and strife,
The dreams that our youth was blest in
Were not for the wear Of life;
For care can darken the cottage,
Az veil ss the palace hearth.
And biTthrights are sold for pottage,
Bat never redeemed ON earth.
"The springs have gone by in sorrow,
The summers were grieved away,
And ever We feared TO. morrow,
And ever we blamed to-day.
In depths which the searcher sounded,
On bills which the high heart clomb,
Have trouble and toll abounded;
But, friends, we are going home!
"Our faith YVES the brsvest builder,
But found not a stone of trust;
Our love was the fairest glider,
But lavished its wealth on dust.
And time bath the fabric shaken,
And fortune the clay hath shown,
For much they have changed and taken,
But nothing that was our own.
"Tte light that TO us made baser
The paths which 60 many choose,
The gifts there was found no place for,
The riches we could not use;
The heart thot when life was wintry
Found summer in strain and tome,
With these to our kin and country:
Dear friends, we are going home"

KNow-NoInINGs IN CALIFoRNIA-The
Know-No:hings of California held Con-
vention at Sacramento City. commencing
on the 27th of March last. There were
22S delegates in attendance, every county
in the State being represented. Another
Convention was to be held at San Francisco
on the 29;h. when Mtrty-trro delegates,
one to every thousand members of the Or
der. were to be selected to attend the Ma
tional Convention, which, it appears, is to
be held at Memphis, Tenn. on the second
Monday Of April, 1856.
The movement to make Memphis the
place for holding the National Convention
of the American Party" was first started
at Sacramento City. anG the Eagle g. En-
quirer has no doubt the friends of Sam
throughout the Union will respond favora-
bly, to the suggestion.

Some of that numerous family, says the
Baltimore Patriot, who seek to establish
a reputation by telling stories new and
strange, even at the expense of truth has
started the story that the French Minister
at Washington has notified Mr. MARCY. that
if the United States made war upon Spain.
France would assist her European neigLbor
Now. the simple fact that France is involv-
ed in a war. from which she does not know
when she will emerge, was enough of itself
to render the story improbable-but.i in ad-
dition. W. have the assurance of the n. Y.
Courier des E'tats Uuis that nothing is
further from the intention of France, than
to mix herself up in the affairs of the new
world, where governments undertake iegiti-
mate enterprises.

THE PULASKI COUNTY SUBSCRIPTION To
THE MEMPHIS RoAD.-We learn from the
Gazette 4 Democrat, that the election in
Pulaski county. on the 9th inst, as to whetb-
er the County Court should subscribe one
hundred thousand dollars in the stock of the
Memphis and Little Rock Railroad. result
ed in favor of the subscription by vote OF
f62 to 32-or more than FIVE to one This
vote, we doubt not, will be considered sus-
fcient endorsement by the people to induce
the County Court to act promptly in the
matter. True there was not full vote, but is
that not fair presumption that there were
no great objections to the proposition L
there had been. is it not altogether probable
such objections would have been made known
at the polls?
The people Of Little Rock, and Pulaski
county, have taken the right view Of the
subject. and have determined that so far as il
is in their power. they will have some more
reliable mode of ingFess and egrezs than
the uncertain navigation which the Arkansas
river affords. They have exhibited the
proper spirit. and will soon reap the advan-
iages of their. liberal policy and prudent
foresight. While We, in this section of the
State. are still sitting idly. waiting, ike Ma

The Cairo and FuIton Railroad.

We learn that the Directors of this
Company. at their meeting held at Little
Rock on the 9th instant, did not accept the
lands granted to them by an act of the
last Legislature The action of the Di-
rectory is. however. not final, as there
will be another meeting in July. TO give
the subject Of accepting the grant fur
ther and more mature deliberation. The
reason, as far as we understand, for not
accepting the lands under the act of the
Legislature, is, that the act itself is not in
accordance with the will and known wishes
Of either the Legislature that passed it, or
the people uf the State. By careful pc
rusal of the act it viii be seen that the
Company shall not use or dispose Of the
lands until sundry things mentioned in the
second section oe it are done and perform
cd. IF such be the case-and that it is so.
VIC have the assurance of those who have
looked into the matter-it is TO be lament
cd Time is precious in this world of ours,
aud instead of having good part of the
road under contract and the grading going
on, we are yet discussing the meaning of
the act of the Legislature granting the lands
to the Company-the same lands that
aeere granted to arkansas by Congress
oreJ t,co gears ago. We admit the late
act of the Legislature to be one hard to be
! understood. if not bung,ing and foolish
for upon fair construction of its provisions
it seems to be altogether probable that the
Company might not have the right to use
or sell the lands for fifty years. Although
the law reads so, We are satisfied there is
some mistake about tiff there is DC
mistake. why. we would ask. was it not dis
covered by those interested until this late
day? There has been very poor manage
mcnt On all hands The Governor, TIE
Company and the Legislature-all have
