I'll sunset on the Prairie. A bright flood
or crimson glory gilds the wes,eTn sky:
Aud DER the smooth, broad, undulapng plains
Floats like u sea OF gold. The autunnal nisis
Rise fiinily on the breeze that wanders DER
The broad campagna, as sad memory wakes
Some loved remembrance OF kind trends alar.
And dms mlne eye with tears
Far, far away,
Mid the green hills, where lies quiet vale.
Embower ed 'mid greener trees, of sialwart
growth,
G leans sweet Iiver, like n silvery thread
Winding lis sinuous way along the vale,
Anear my childhood's Eome. There are kind
hearts
In that green va ley; sprnklrd here and there,
Lie many a home beloved, where farewell words
Seemed lrcighled with the mist OF unshed tears.
Ye vlewless winds, bear back upon your gales
To each loved dwelling. like hymn OF peace.
The blessing OF the wanderer.

The Union newspaper has a long article to show
that the Union is imperilled by the Philadelphia
National Council" The argument to prove this,
is very inconclusive. The Convention, on the sub
iect on which the Union comments, laid down a
National Platform on which North and South could
unite. Ifa portion of the Northern delegates, al.
ways anti-slavery, bolted on that question, they
are only where they were before. Nothing is Inn
perilled--a step for the perpetuity Of the Union
has been taken, in presenting the conservative por
ton of the American party at the North ground to
stand on.--ALe1. Gazette.

AMERICAN ORGAN.


a weaver sat before his loom,
The shuttle ainging fast
And 10 his web thread OF doom
Was added at each cast. s.
His warp had been by angels spun;
Bright was his weft aud new;
Unbranded from liie's morning sun,
Gemmed with life's morning dew.
And fresh-lipped, beautiful young flowers
In tissue rich were spread,
While the weaver told the joy-spsd hours
BY his pulses bounding tread.
But DER his brow shadow crept
And on the fabric lay;
The shuttle faltered as II swept
Along its darkened way.
Gray was the faded thread il bore,
Dimmed by the touch Of thought;
And tear-like stains were sprinkled Ger
The richest broiderics wrought
Still kept the weaver weaving on,
Though he woyea texture gray,
TIA tissued brilliance all had gone,
The gold threads cankered lay.
And still, with gathering mildew, grew
Yet duller every thread,
And mingled some of coal-back hue,
And some of bloody red.
For things most strange were woven in,
Corroding griefs and fears
And broken was the web and thin,
And II dripped with briny tears. n
He longed TO fling his toll aside,
But knew 'twould be sin;
So the ceaseless shuttle still he piled,
Those life-cords weaving in.
II
And as he wovc, and wept, and wove,
Fair tempters, stealing nigh,
With glozing words to win him strove,
But he turned away his eye;
He turned his aching eve to Heaven,
And YEARLY woye on,
Till lifc's last faltering cast was given,
The fabric strange was done.
He flung IL round his shoulders bowed,
And Ger his grizzled head,
And gathering close his trailing shrsud,
Lay down among the dead
And next marked his robes wide folds,
AS they swept the fields of air,
Bright as the arc the sunlight moulds,
AS angel pinions fair.
And there inwrought was each bright flower,
As when at first 1t sprung;
The fairy work of mornings hour,
In morning freshness hung.
And where tear had left its stain
A snow-white lily lay,
And the leaden tracery Of pain
Linked many a jewels ray.
Wherever Grief's meek breath had swept
There dwelt rich perfume,
And bathed in silvery moonlight slept
The sable work of gloom.
And then prayed: the strange web done,
To my frail fingers given,
Be Sorrows stain the deepest one
To mar my robe in Heaven.
