Let dotaris grievc for childhood, days,
And ONLY those look back
Whose wasted wealth or shattered health
Bctrays 4 shameless track.
cannot join IN mourning time
Forever passed away
For, while look on Natures book,
I'm thankful! for 10 day.
The trees are still as fresh and green
As ever branches were:
And still in primal vigor seen,
They wave their arms in air.
The rivers sing the s.lEsame song
That they have sung for aye;
Whose burden, rs they glide along,
ls," God is here to-day" ."
There's not bird upon the boueh,
Or leaf uron the tree,
But in the summer twilight now
AS swccty sings to me.
The. blcakest wind that WATER blows
Can chase disease away,
And shower blessings in the SHOWS
That hides the earth to-day.
And everywhere thousand gifts
Invite us to rejoice
10 gr'evc no more the days of yorc,
But raise thankful voice;
That tells rs, tho ugh the worlI wore c,ir
In years removed for aye,
he earth and SKY and sen and mir 90 -
As lovely arc to day.
Then tell me not that childhood's DAYS
Alone are fraught with joy;
That manhood's fancy cannot raise
The structures of the boy.
Their childish mind is lost in dreams
or pictures far away
But man bcholds majestic themes,
The wonder of to-day.
Iye whose eyes upbraiding rise.
Pronouncing Fate unjust
Who walk the earth with cherished hopes
Low trailing in the dust!
Discard false, unmanly thrall,
Nor own SO weak sway;
But hope in Him who gave you all,
And thank Him for to-day.

CATHOLIC DESIGNS

CATHOLIC DESIGNS.
We last week mentioned that several of
the Members of our National Legislature
had openly advocated what they have long
secretly practiced-free license to buccan-
eerism and piracy, by repeating all ueutra-
lity laws, and thus letting loose all the
worst passions of human nature upon the
broad sea of fliibusterism. Of course the

ever they are" is the universal dogma of
this class Of men; and in their hands the
treasure and arms of our Government
would be prostituted to sustain freebooters
in their cruel warfare alike upon iudividu-
al aud national right Unrcstrained rape,
pillage, burning aud murder of unotiending
men, women aud children are involved in
this "repeal Of the neutrality laws
In addition to those already named, the
President himsclf-the Cincinnati Con-

encouragement is thus given, the effect of
which no one eau foresee.
The prejudices Of the Spanish and the
mongrel people of Central America, are
strong against the American nation. But
there is POWER that controls them: that
power is in ROME The designs of the
Pspacy upon American Liberty for years
past, have been no secret. But they have
been foiled and disappointed. Something
new must be tried. The ''re-annexation
of Mexico aud Central America-wiM

On the 9th inst, committee of the
4th of March State Convention OF Penn
waited on Mr. Buchanan, at bis home, to
inform him, officially, of his unanimous
nomination for the Presidency by said con
vention. The meeting was very cordial, ,
aud in his reply to. the ratification, MIR, B,
said
-"the admirable resolutions Of the
Convention which you have just presented

Potatoes and Tomatoes.

1t is not SO generally known as it de-
serves to be, that the tomato when grown
among corn is far superior in favor to
those produced in the common way. They
must of course have fair share of room
to grow, and not be too much crowded by
the corn. Those who can appreciate the
good qualities of this vegetable when in
perfection, will fnd this mode of growing
them to secure all they can asky at least
such has been my experience.
1t is maintained by some respectable
experimenters that potatoes planted among
corn are not so liable to rot; and this opin-
ion has been confirmed by a sufficient num-
Der of trials to render it worthy Of atten-
tion.
The soundness of the potatoes in these
cases, aud the superior flavor of the tona-
toes, mentioned above, are probably owing
to tie same cause-wLich is, tba. the corn
from its superior powers of attraction and
assimilation, appropriates TO itself the solu-
Bile nitrogenous matters contained in the
soil, and thu, prevents the less energetic
plants in its neighborbood from absorbing
those compounds of nitrogen which expe-
rience has shown to be injurious to TIA.
quality of their products. The best Po'a-
toes are those which contain the largest
proportion Of starch, and this is but car
