POETRY.
EVENING HOURS.

u MN
The human heart has hidden treasures,
In secret kept, In silence senledi
The thoughts, the hopes, the dreams, the pleasures
Whose charms were broken, il revealed.
And days may pass in gay confusion,
And nights in noisy riots fly,
While, lost in famc's or wealth's Illusion,
The memory Of the past may die.
But there are hours Of lonely musing,
Such as in the evening silence come,
When soft as birds their pinions closing,
The hes ts best feelings gather home.
Then, u oar souls there seems to anguish
y tender grief that is not woe;
An thoughts that once wrung groans of anguisN
Now cause some mild tears to flow.
And feelings, once as strong as passions,
Float softly back-a faded dream;
Our own sharp griefs and wild sensations,
The taste Of others suffering seem;
Oh! when the heart is freshly bleeding,
How it longs for that time 10 be,
When through the mist Of years receding,
Its woes but live ia %reyeric.
And It can dwell on moonlight glimmcr,
On evening shades and loneliness,
And while the sky grows dim and DINNER,
Heed no untold woes ST distress
Only a deeper impress given
BY lonely hour and darkenel room,
To solemn thoughts that soar to heaven,
Seeking a life and world TO come.

NO one should think Of getting a likeness Of
i themselves or friends until they have examine
ed those CRYSTAL0TYPE 4 AMBROTYPPES
taken by J. l.. n II. NJ. LOWELL.
The Crystalotype is FIRST taken upon Glass and
IS then transferred to paper 10 unlimited numbers,
as from a copper plate. BY this process we arc
enabled with the Daguerreotype instrument, to
produce on paper, views Of Landscapes, Residences,
copy Dagucrrcoiypcs, and take Portraits from life
with the unerring hand Of nature, r~iyaling in
beauty the finest Eugrayings.
The Ambrotypc, a very beautiful picture, Is Ia
ken upon Glass and finished in such a way that
they are unaffected by acids, and eau lay in water
for months without injury, being perfectly air tight
as we'll as water proof.
Both Of the above are truly a wonder Of the
Actinographic art.
We still take all the various styles Of the ordina-
ry Daguerreotype aud we natter ourselves that
they are not inferior to any produced in city or
country.
gT This is the only COMPLETE Actinographic
Establishment in Vermont.
Orders from abroad promptly attended to.

We have observed that preachers who have any
thing to say which is adapted to the circumsian-
ces of the age we live 10 never want hearers I;
while those who still preach in the style of the
last century always do. This outdoor preach
ing win small results il the orators have moth
ing more to offer than doctrines, the endless
repetition Of which has cmpticd the churches
of Chrislendom. There is nothing in Gods
blessed air 10 dispose The human mind to believe
what it has found incredible when uttered with
in walls.

ENDURING BEAUTY.

BY MRS. l.. Ii. sIGouRNEY.
The rose-leaves all are scattered,
They float upon the blast;
Ne may not gather them again,
lie may not hold them fast.
The lily droops beside them stream,
And in the garden glade;
1t had its time to smile and charm,
The time hath come to fude.
But there's a changelcss beauty,
That bides both time aud frost;
That clings to winters hoary crown.
When the forest glory's lost;
1t gathers richer brilliance,
As flowers Of earth decay;
The rose and lily Of the soul,
That cannot fade away.

DEmocRArIc COUNTY CONVENTION.

call is rather peculiar inasmuch rs no mention is

following mystical paragraph. to wit -
"To this Convention the Frecmcn Of Windham
County who prefer the Country and the Union, and
open political action TO anarchy, confusion and Sc
crct conolaves, and the principles aud actions Of a
party to the spcculations and i~ntrigues Of Faction,
arc freely invited
II all who ''prefer the Country and the Union"
10 "anarchy and confusion" attend the convention,
we may safely predict that ii will be unusually
large; but II by that phrase is included only those
who fear the Union is likely TO be dissolved in con-
sequence Of the position assumed by the American
party and the Republicans Of the North, the attcn-
dance will be very limited. The truth Of the case
is, the Democracy Of this county are in a more hope
lees minority than ever. They feel the weakness Of
their position, and are exceedingly anxious 20 Mt
tach themselves 10 some plank that will keep them
from sinking, In years past they have been ready
TO avow their belief in Pree Soil IL thereby they
could obtain q small share of the loavos and fishes.

tive traits and 60 in for n Peoples Party" Will
ling to become all things TO all men in the hopes TO
save some Of the Offices, they seem now to be invi-
ting the cooperation Of all who arc opposed to the
principles Of the American party. Whether or not
they will be able to command the support and re-
cciyo the assistance Of those who have declared
their LEGISLATION Of the pro-slavery procli,iues Of
the present administration. and who have put on
rccord, at the Darlington Convention Of the 27ih
Of June, their unceAsing hostility 10 the Nebraska
swindle, remains to be seen.

IMPORTANT RAILROAD DECISION,

At the last session Of the Supreme Court in
Rutland, a case was decided, in which we're es-
iablished som principles of great importance,
as well TO the railroad companies as TO those do
ing business with them. The snit was brought
by VIM. Kimball against the Rutland and Bur
lington II. r. Co., 10 recover the injuries 10 his
cattle in going from Brandon to Cambridge,
Mass. 1t appeared that by the printed freight
tariff, the owners Of cattle were required to
load, unload, and feed them at their own ex-
pense, and to assume all risk of injury to them
from all sources, and the company repudiated
all risk, unless specially agreed to and an addi-
tional price paid of 25 per cent upon tariff
rates. The regulation was brought to the
knowledge Of the plaintiff by a ticket which
was furnished him but he omitted to pay the
higher price. Several of his cattle having
been injured IN the way so as to cause their
death, he brought this suit to recover the value
of them.
The Court decided the following points II
the cattle had been delivered to the defendants
as common carriers, no special agreement hav-
ing been made, they would be responsible for
the safe conveyance and delivery of them. But
it was competent for the Company, by a special
agreement, to change their relation from that OF
a common carrier to that Of a private carrier,
and when so changed, their liabilities will be
measured by the special agreement. In this
case, the provision in the freight tariff that a
higher rate should be paid when the Company
assumed the risk Of transportation, and the
omission of the plaintiff who knew the provis-
ion, to pay. the higher rates, constitutes a spec
ial agreement, by which the Company was dis
charged from liability as a common carrier, and
remained liable only for the breach of the ex-
press contract.
We understand that, since this decision rail-
roads are adopting two rates Of freight not only
for cattle, but for glass ware, stoves, &C., the
ordinary tariff being that at which they will
carry on the owners risk, and a higher one
when they assume the liability of comman car
riers.- Windsor Journal,
