From the London Athe irum.
MY PHILOSOPHY.

Bright things cIn never die
Fen though they fade
Beauty and minstrels
Deathless were made;
What thought the summer day
Passes mt eve away,
Doth not the moons soft ray
Silence the night?
Bright things can never die,
Saith my piilos ply;
PhGbus, though he pass by,
Leaves US the light.
Kind words can never die,
Cherished and blest /;
God knows how deep they lie,
Stored in the breast,
Like childhood's simple rhymes.
Said DER thousand times,
Aye, in all years and climes,
Distant and near.
Kind words can never die,
Saith my philosophy;
Deep in the soul they lie:
God knows how Gear.
Childhood can never die
Wrecks of the past
Float on the memory
Fen to the last.
Many happy thing,
Many daisied spring,
Flow on times ceaseless wing,
Far, far away;
Childhood can never die,
Saith my philosophy
Wrecks of our infancy,
Live on for aye.
Sweet lancies never die,
They leave behind
Some fair legacy,
Stored in the mind
Some happy thought or dream,
Pure as days earliest beam,
kissing the gentle stream,
In the lone glade,
Yet though these things pass by,
Saith my philosophy,
Bright things can never die,
Fen though they fade.

Doctor Henry A. wise.

We learn from the Canton Commonwealth,
that at the recent commencement at the Mad
ison College in Sharon, tie honorary degree Of
IL. d. was conferred on Govern Henry A.
Wise. of Virginia. As Governor Wise is a
University man, he cannot put away the honor
thus offered him, on the score of moiesty, as
Mr.. Fillmore refused the same honor from OK
ford University in England.
As the selection of the distinguished "gizzard
foot and ebo shin" Governor of the old Domin-
ion for such distinguished honor, indicates the
political proclivites of the President of the re-
nowned college" Of Sharon, Madison county,
Mississippi, we suggest that our Yazoo Know
Nothing School Commissioners, as soon as they
settle the ''two per cent" question and some
other little matters pending before them, do
something for the AMERICAN Executive OF
Kentucky, Governor Morehead! Weknow the
Governor, and can assure the rulers of the Free
School, that he is well worthy of their atten-
ticn; andto put him on footing with the
Governor of Virginia, he should have degree
conferred on him from our Know-Nothing
School Commissioners. Without any higher
suggestion than our own desire to see him in
our town, we offer Gov. Morehead the freedom
of the City-in snuff-box.

Mr. Buchanan Favors the Rcsto-
ration Of the Missouri C0mpr0-

The Federal organs are straining every argu-
ment and inference (they can only do it by infer
ence) to make the people believe that Mr.. Fillmore
avors the restoration Of the Missouri line because
he deprecates its repeal and regards its repeal as
the increased agitation Of the slavery question.
Their logic isthat if Mr.. Fillmore regards the re-
peal Of the restriction as the cause Of all the ag
tation, its restoration would bring peace to the
country and hence Mr.. r. would be for restoring
Lie.
Let US apply this same logic to Mr. Buchanan's
position. Mr.. Buchanan said, in his letter to Mr..
Yancy in 1s4s, "evsry days experience since the
date of my letter, this Berks county letteh) has
but served to strengthen my conviction that the
Missouri Compromise Is THE BEST if not the
ONLY MoDEof FINALLY xND SATISFACTORILY AD-
Jusr1Sa this vexed and dangerous question"
Now the Federals admit that, prior to the pas
sage of the Kansas and Nebraska act and repeal
Of the restriction, the country was in state oi
quiet and peace. and that Immediately upon its
passage the whole North arose in Indignation.
The conclusion then Is that, if Mr.. Buchanan de-
sires the Union restored to harmony" and re-
CARDS "the Missouri Compromise as the best il
not the only mode Of finally and satisfactorily ad
justing the vexed and dangerous question" he
would certainly restore il and bring peace to the
