FINE PASSAGE FROM GRAHAM's "sABBA7H."
How How stlll the morning of the hallow'd dayi
Mute is the voice of rural labor hush'd
The ploughboy's whistle and the mkma,,r song
The scythe lies glittering in the dewy wreath
VI tedded grass, mingled with faded flowers
Ina1 Yesterday morn bioomd waving in the breeze.
sounds The most faint attract the ear;-the hum
VI early bee, the trickling Of the dew,
Inc distant Dieatlng, midway up the hill,
Gaimness sits throned on yon unmoving cloud.
10 him who wanders DER the upland leas
The backDlrd's note comes mellower from the dale
And sweeter from the sky the gleesome lark
Marbles ms heavenltuned song; the lulling brook
While from lowly roof, whose curling smoke
O'ermounts the mist is heard at intervals.
The voice of psalms, the simple song of praise.
With dove-like wings peace Ger yon village broods
The dizzying mill-wheel rests; the anvil's din
Haiti ceased; all, all around is quetness.
Less fearful on this day, the limping hare
Stops, and looks back, and stops and looks on man
Her deadiest foe The to-worn horse, set free,
o on6 ed Of the pasture roams at large;
ana as his stiff, unwiedly bulk he rolls
HIS iron armd hoofs CLEAN in the morning raw
But chiefly man the day of rest ENJOYS
Hail. Sabbath thee hail, the poor mans day
I'm other days the man of toll is doomd
10 cal his Joyless bread lonely; the ground
pom seat and board screend from the winters cold
And al summers heat by neighboring hedge or tree.
But on this day embosomd in his home
He shares the frugal meal with those he IoveS
WIN tnose ne loves he shares his heartfelt ioy
VI giving thanks to God nor thanks of form
word and grimace, but reverently
with covered face and upward earnest eye
Inc pale mechanic now has leave to breathe
The morning air, pure from the city's smoke
W hle wandering slowly up the rivers side
He medItates on him whose power he marks
In each green tree that proudly spreads fine housb
AS IN the tiny dew bent flowers that bloom
Around its root and while he thus SURVEYS
With elevated joy, each rural charm
He hopes,-yet fears presumption in the home
Ihat heaven may be one Sabbath without end

No PERsEcUmoN.-Know Nothings contend that
they do not persecute any one for religious opinions
sake. Oh no let the Catholics come among us, say
they let them worship God as they please; but if
they happen to have been born any where but on
American soil, they shan't vote; and even if they
have been born American soil, they shan't hold
Office. Now, reader, you no doubt have your rell'
gious predilections-or have your preference for
some particular religious denomination; and suppose
some political party should take this ground against
your particular denominaton-shoud say no one
belonging to or favoring that denomination should
hold any Office of trust profit, honor, would you
or would you not think you were prosecuted? Bring
the matter thus home to yourself and ask yourself
how you would act. Would you not feel indignant?
Would you not feel that this was not land of lib
erty, where all are &C free and equal?" Until
Know Nothingism is put down Repubcansm is in
in danger.

The BOOK READINGs.-The celebrated Boon Chill

our Oak-City during the past week.
: They also gave readings at st. Mary which
delighted the young ladies very much.
The Boon Family are only eqnalled in some res
poets by even the Batemans, and in other respects
we think them superior. Lora-Gordon B., it seems
to US, cannot be surpassed in some of her readings
by the stars of the highest elevation on the Ang

We give below more proofs of the spirit of aboli-
ton which pervades and controls the Know Nothings
Of the free States. We copy the following from the
Baltimore Sun:
Ness.ge of the Gouernorof Connecticut
HARTFORD May 3-The governors message re-
coaRends an amendment TO tile constitution erend-
ina tie rights of suffrage to c0tOred persons, and
recurring persons be able to read and write before
beinc admitted to vote. He favors the granting Of
appropriations to the State Agricultural Society," and
institutions for the deaf and dumb, blind and idiotc,
and State reform school, considers 1t the duty OF the
legislature to encourage education in every possible
way says he would regard the repeal modifca
ton of the prohibitory law detrimental to the
best interests of the State, its operation having been
such as to recommend 1T to general favor-crlne
esscned, poverty and misery allieviated, and the
happiness of many firesdes restored. He tavors
remodeng of the judiciary system, and considers
Mqtat the recent election the people reiterated their
condemnation Of the act organizing Kansas and
NeJras&a.
Governor Miner was elected by the Know Moth
ings in April last, over the Democratic candidate,
who occupied sound and just ground on the question
of slavery This Know Nothing Governor, it seems,
like the Know Nothings of Massachusetts,, New York
and Ohio, is in favor of DISTINGUISHING white and
adopted citizens, while at the time he would
elevate the negroes political equality with native
white citizens.
Here is more proof from New Hampshire, the
elections in which were recently carried by a large
majority by the Know Nothings:
" ANTI-sLAvERY REsoLUTIoNs-CoNCoRD, On. H.
May 3.-The American party of this State, in State
council adopted resolutions protesting against the
repeal of the Missouri Compromise, and against the
Nebraska bill and fugitive-slaye law, pledgng the
party to resist the further extension of slavery"
In addition to this observe that Senator Will
son, OF Massachusetts,, has been appointed delegate
to the Grand National Council of the Know Nothings.
Still we told that Mr.. Wilson is not member of
the order; and the promise will now be made by
Southern Know Nothing journals that he will be ru-
leo of the National Council. We do not believe
he will be; but if he should be, Massachusetts, and
other abolition Know Nothing States will have to be
ruled out with him; and then what will become of
the nationality of this great " American" party?
Mr. Wilson has already declared that the Ameri-
can dough- faces" in the Know Nothing order-that
is, those of them who inclined to be true to the
Constitutional rights of the South-must be driven
out or silenced; and this declaration is much more
likely to be carried out than the uttered By
feeble Southern minority, to the effect that he shall
not be heard in the National Council.
When will the people of the South learn to dis
card sms and be true to themselves?
