SCRAPS OF GENUINE POETRY.

How dear to my heart are the scenes Of my child
hood,
When fond recollection presents them to view!
The orchard, the meadow, the deep-tangled wild
wood,
And every loved spot which my infancy knew:
Tae wide-spreading pond, and the mill which
stood by it,
The bridge and the rock where the cataract fell.
The cot of my fathers, The dairy house nigh it,
And cen the rude bucket which hung in the
well.
That moss-covered vessel l hail as a treasure,
For often at noon when returned from the field,
/ found it the source of an exquisite pleasure,
The purest and sweetest that Nature can yield;
How ardent | seized it with hands that were
glowing,
And quick 10 the white pabbled bottomit fell,
Then soon, with the emblem Of truth overflow
And dripping with c%oldness, it rose from the
well.
Be kind 10 thy father, for when thou vast young,
Who loved thee so fondlysas he?
He caught the first accents that fell from thy
And joined in thy innocent gIee. Tongue,
Be kind to thy father, for now he is old,
His locks intermingled with grey;
His footsteps are feeble-once fearless and bold
Thy father is passing away.
Be kind to thy mother, for, 10! on her brow,
May traces of sorrow be seen;
o well may'st tnou cherish and comfort her now,
For loving and kind she hath been.
Remember thy mother--for thee will she pray,
AS long as God giveth her breath;
With accents of kindness, then, cheer her lone
Zen TO the dark valley Of death. lway,

Of Judge DouoLAs' mastery and conclusive re-
port in reference to the difficulties IN Kansas.
The report is lengthy, but not more SO than the
importance of the subject, and the misreprescn-

The Republicans have entered the Pres

their sole platform. The party has already
acquired momentsry Importance, by the in
dustrious circulation Of falsehoods. and appeals
to the sectional passions Of the people. 1t is
important then, that they should be met at the
commencement OF the great National battle
by defence Of the Democratic policy and a
vindcation Of that policy as just, constitution
al, patriotic, and expedient. Senator Dovo-

vindicaton, but carries the war into A frica, '
