BY HENRIE A. KENDALL.
The treasure gifts that thou hast brought
To "grace any casket rare"
TIL cherish in my youthful heart,
And guard with watchful care:
For they will point me to the way
That leads to realms of brighter day.
And now, in turn, have wish
That 1 would ask, for thee;
o, may the sisters, Hope and Faith,
Thy guardians ever be-
Around thee may they cast their rays.
To tighten up thy gloomy days
And may these sisters, on thy brow
A fadeless wreath entwine,
And may the songs they sweetly sing,
All harmonic with thine;
And when thy songs on earth shall end,
With angels may thine sweetly blend.
Homer, N. Y. Dec. 1855.

Night
BY MONTGOMERY.

Night is the time for rests
How sweet when labors close,
To gather round an aching breast
The curtain of repose,
Stretch the tired limbs, and lay the head
Upon our own delightful bed!
Night is the time for dreams
The gay romance of life,
when truth that is, and truth that seems,
Blend in fantastic strife;
All vision less heguing far,
Than waking dreams by daylight are!
Night is the time for toll
To pillow the classic field,
Intent to find the buried spoil
Its wealthy burrows yield;
Till all is ours that sages taught,
That poets sung, or heroes wrought
Night is the time to weep
To wet, with unseen tears,
Those graves of memory, where sleep
The joys of other years
Hopes that were angels in their birth,
Bat persisted young, like things of earth
Night is the time to watch
On oceans dark expanse,
To hail the Pleiades, or catch
The full moons earliest glance,
That brings into the home-sick mind,
All we have loved and left behind.
Night is the time for care
Brooding on hours misspent.
To see the spectre of despair
Come to our lonely tent;
Like Brutus midst his slumbering host,
Startled by Caesars .stalworth ghost
Night is the time to muse
Then from the eye the soul
Takes fight and, with expanding views,
Beyond the starry pole,
Describes, athwart the abyss of night,
The dawn of uncreated light.
Night is the time 10 pray
Our Savior oft withdrew
To lonely mountains, far away;
So will his followers do
Steal from the throng to haunts untrod,
And hold communion there with God
Night is the time for death.
When all around is peace,
Calmly to yield the weary breath,
From sin and suffering cease,
Think of heavens bliss, and give the sign
TO parting friends such death be milse!

Mans Greatest Treasure.
By FINLEY JOHNSON.
The hottest, greatest, richest treasure
Ever yet by man possest,
Is heart that's fill'd with pleasure,
Throbbing in a thankful breast;
And though We toll, no gems possessing,
Yet in that heart our riches lies,
For Gods greatest, purest blessings
From pure tho@shts and deeds arise.
Andl0s It's sweet ere evening closes,
Songs of thankfuhess to sing
Though our hopes like faded roses,
Should unto our bosoms cling Il
And heart fill'd so with pleasure,
Fhreb4sing in a thankful breast,
Is the hottest, richest treasure
Ere yet by man possest.

Sir: Agrecnbly to resolution OF EutdD Council

that can possibly exist is with regard to tb
best adapted to the securement of the end. We
understand that the plan Of circulars addressed on
the part Of the Managers of the Monument to the
various councils, has been resortedo That course,
we arc convinced, will fail to secure those uniform
and thorough supple s which will be the natural
and unfailing results Of the plan below.
Our plan proposes TO commence with the high
est body known TO the order, and to 20 forth with
its authority. II the plan be adopted, the Grand
Council Of the United States win act Immediately
upon the State Grand Councils, and they in turn
will exert similar influence upon the subordinate
councils. The system will be thorough, and con-
sequently the desired results win be but legitimate
effects Nor is this mere theory, INFESTED and
untried. We call attention to the following paper,
the original Of which is in the hands Of the Trea-
surer Of Eutaw Council:
