The BAREFOOT BOY.
BY JOHN @. WHIT

sA By JOHN G. WHITTIER.
Blessings on thee, little man:
Barefoot boy, with cheeks of tanl
With thy turned up pantaloons,
Andthy merry whistltd tunes
With thy red lip redder still,
Kissed by strawberries on the hill:
With the sunshine on thy face,
Through thy torn brim's jaunty grace
From my heart give thee joy,
l was once barefoot boy
Prince thou art-the grown up man
Only is republican.
Let the million dollared ride:
Barefoot, trudging at his side,
Thou hast more than be can buy,
In the reach of ear and eye;
Outward sunshine, inward ioy
Blessings on thee, barefoot boyl
Oh for boyhood's painless play,
Sleep that wakes ia laughing day;
Health that mocks the doctors rules
Enowledge, never learnt d at schools,
OF the wild bees E.arning chase,
Or the wild aower's time and Place

How the tortoise bears his shell,
How the woodchuck digs his cell,
And the ground mole sinks his we'll;

How the orioles nest is hung:

Where the freshest berries grow,

And the architectural plans

For, eschewing books and tasks
Nature answers all he asks.
Hand in hand with her he walks,
Face to face with her he talks,
Part and parcel of her joy;

Open Organizations.
GAINESVILLE, Ohio, Mar,

GAINESVILLE, Ohio, March 26, 1855.
MEssRs. EDIToRs-I am glad to see that you
advocate All open organization of the American
party. have often been asked if it was ne.
cessary for the American party to be organized
as a secret order, and such questions have in
variably answered in the affirmative. But
think the time has now come for the American
party to cast off all secresy, and publish to the
world that hereafter and forever we will meet
our foes with unmasked batteries; openly and
boldly contcsting every field where foe dare
pluck up courage enough to meet us. If the
American party will adopt this open and manly
course, hundreds, aye thousands, will enlist in
our ranks who now stand aloof from us and
our cause. Another argument in favor of an
open organization, is, that traitors will have
nothing to disclose, and the old party papers
will have nothing from which to manufacture
awful and ungolly initiation oaths, bylaws,
etc. out of which they make political capital
to be employed against us. The American
party is strong and able to take care of itself,
and does not need the aid Of secrecy to ac-
complish its purposes. would have nothing
done prematurely or rashly, but l think all
who have studied this subject will acknowl.
edge that now is the time to cast off all secresy
and let our enemies see what powerful and
muscular arm it is that strikes down and leaves
them groveling in the mire of Catholicism.
Yours in the cause NFp ARwEIpISr.

long lost and looked for daughter, and ultimate

lief that her Frances lived At length she
was called away to join her husband in another
world, and she went down into the grave
mourning that she was not permitted this
side the grave, to embrace her darling.
Some years after death, when her brothers
were grey haired, men, and when all had
ceased to entertain thought of the lost sister,
their feelings were aroused by an announce
ment which placed beyond question the fact
that she lived, and remembered her former
home and friends. An Indian agent in Ohio
wrote to the editor Of one of the newspapers
in Pennsylvania, informing him that he had
seen and talked with white woman among
the Indians, who had told him that her name
was S|ocum, that her father was a quaker, and
wore broad brim hat That he lived at
place on the Susquehanna river, which was
near town where there was fort, and that
she was taken from thence while she was
child, by the Indians. This letter the editor,
who deemed this matter hoax-threw among
his waste papers where it lay for year. or
more, until his wife, one day in looking them
over, came across it. Her sympathetic feel
ings were aroused, and she sent it to the Intel
ligencer, in which it was published. 1t hap.

tween the long separated brothers and sister
was affecting in the extreme.
She informed them through an Interpreter
(she had lost her native language) that after
her capure she was treated in the most tender
manner by the Indians, who took her to their
towns, when she soon became attached to
their rowing nomadic life, and came to dread
being discovered by her friends. When she
grew up and her foster parents died, she mar.
ried young chief of the Delaware, (the tribe
to which her captors belonged,) and after his
death she Joined the Miamis with her people
and married again. She had been widow

Beauty is but vain and doubtful good,
shining gloss, that vadeth suddenly;
A flower that dies, when first it gins to bud
brittle glass, that's broken presently:
A doubtful good, gloss, glass, flower,
Lost, vaded, broken, dead within an hour.
And as goods lost are sclti or never found,
As faded gloss no rubbing will refresh,
As flowers dead lie withered on the ground,
As broken glass no cement can redress,
So beauty, blemished once, for ever's lost,
In spite Of physic, painting, pain, and cost

The editor Of the New Hampshire Patriot,
President Pierce's home organ, says that The
Democratic party is dcsrous of putting an end
to all undue influence of foreign born citizens
in elections. Upon which the Louisville Jour

iii were to do it, would be very much in the
predicament Of the fsllow, who, wishing to saw

ing paragraph, which has been going tho
rounds of the press lately:

phcr, having been written to as to the genuine
ness OF the phrase SO often attributed to Wash
ington--''put none but Americans on guard,
-night'-replcs that lie has never met With
any such expr> ssion in Washingon's writings"
In 1874, the late General Fl. \. S. Dcarbon,
Of Roxbury, transmitted to General Peter s,
Smith, of Philadelphia, copy Of n manu-.
script in his posse ssion, relating to this matter,
and the same was published in the Daily Ea-
gle, General Smiths paper.
It reads as follows, and is no doubt correct,
snd such an order was promulgated by WASH
ngton while at Cambridge. j. N. ..

GENERAL ORDER- The General has great
reason to be dspleascd with the ncgIigcncs and

acters he is not acquainted with. lie therefore

The foregoing bears many marks OF correct
ness. If it is correct it settles the question H.
nally. And il there is any doubt respecting
the matter, it would be easy, it seems to us,
for the editor of the Transcript to obtain II
sight Of the original document, and thus satisfy

scribe the symptoms of disease of a CHRON-

about two ounces OF urine,-passed first in the

bring several cases and medicine can be sent
to any part of the country. His remedies are
