A Child at Play.

A rosy child went forth 10 play,
In the first flush Of hope and pride,
Where sands 10 silver beauty lay
Made smooth by the retreaiing tide;
And, kneeling on the trackless waste,
Whence ebbcd the .saiers many mile,
lie raised in hot and trembling haste,
Arch, wal, and tower-a goodly pie.
But when the shades ofevenlng tel,
yelling the blue and peaceful deep,
The iOiling Of the yesper bell
Called that boy-bailder home to sleep:
He passed a long and restless night,
Dreaming Of structures tau and fair
He came with the returning light,
And 10 the faithless sands were bare.
Less wise than the unthinking child,
Are oil that breathe Of mortal biIih,
Who grasp. with strivings warm and wild,
The false and fading toys Of Earth.
Gold, learning, giory-What are they
Without the isiih that looks on high
The sand-lorts Of child az play,
Which are not when the wave goes by.

lSDioSATIoS.-Th outrage pcrpetratod
upon Senator Sumner by the cowardy rutfian
who in part represents the cbivalry Of South

recently, and others who now act with, tho
present administration have participated
The sentiments expressed ~ the speeches
made, and in the resolutions adopted, nre
those Of intense Indignation towards the pcr-
peira,or Of the act, aud bitter scorn at its cra.
ven meanness. Unlcss we much mistake pul,.
lie sentiment, this attempt to break down free.

States, by the minions of Slavery, will do
much to open the eyes and loosen the tongues
of those who have been lukewarln in the
cause of Freedom. IL will more than double

South can afford TO commit such deeds the
North can well afford to let them.
But we trust this lesson will not be lost up.

Strong resolutions were adopted, denouncing the
Administrations proposing to cooperate with the
republicans in the presidential and congressional
elections, and re-afhrming their former platform.
The assault on Senator Sumner was referred to in
the strongest terms, and the House was called upon
to expel Brooks.
Vermont will be the banner State in the next
presidential canvass.

u We have always supposed that "Peter Pr
per-" whose exploits in the pepper business are so
celebrated, was a fictitious parsonage, but we see
by an advertisement in Boston paper. that he
has for long time been plumber at 81 Brattle
Street. Any person who still remains in painful
uncertainty as to the whereabouts of that peck Of
picked peppers can doubtless have their anxiety
relieved by inquiry at that place.
