EVENING STAR.
L o Y Z .

Where heart in silence CLOVIS with love,
Lay not a hand ungentie there;
Quench not the spark Of heavenly fire,
That were unha,lowed deed-foibear.
II on the earth may sught be found
That unprofaued and pure can prove,
IL is the young and hopeful heart,
Blest In It's frst and guileless love.
o grudge 1t not that spring tide dream,
So bright in rosy tintiugs shown:
Thou know'st not what Paradise
Is lost when loves J oung dream has flown.
How many strong heart breaks at once,
When Of It's own dear love bereft;
And hSarls that can endure, live on,
With nought but hate and darkness left.
And some that closed to hide their wounds,
Cry loud for pleasure in their ned,
An0grovel in the dust-alas.
To them sweet love Is dead Indeed.
Al, fruitleSs comes repentance then,
The bitterest tears are all In vain
To make the wither'd roses bloom,
Or the dead heart be young again.

THE DISCUSSION AT CHERRY-TKEE.

On last Friday, political discussion took
place at Cherry tree borough-Cyrus Jeffries,
of this county, and II. White, Esq, of India
ma, on the part of the Republicans and Amer
leans. and Mr.. Mexican, of Phila., Hon. G. r.
Barrett, 1. Test and W. a. Wallace, Esqs., on
the part of the Democrats. Four speeches
were made on each sde-each speech limited
to thrce-fourths of an hour. The debate was
in general affably conducted. We were, how
ever, surprised to hear Mr.. Test indulging in
the slang phrases and hacknied epithcts, for
which he seems TO have an unusual penchGnt,
after having said that he was much gratificd
with the courtesy of the gentlemen on the op-
posite side. Mr.. Mexican attempted to refutc
what he was pleased to term Mr.. Jeifries' e.fig-
ures of speech,'' with an article which he call
ed s.fguTes of fact - but the latter were so
pointless that his hearers were unable to dis.
cover their bearing. His Honor, Judge Bar
rctt. we thought, was considerably out of his
element, the debate necessarily carrying him
ont of his usual track he, however, managed
to finish up with ga touch of that same old
tune" 10 the great qualification Of his Demo-
cratic friends. Mr.. Wallace, after some pre-
liminary remarks, undertook to discuss the
questions in constitutional point of view;
but he soon digressed, and repeated almost
literally the tail-end of the speech lac had de-
liyered at New Washington the night previ-
Gus, asserting that the settlers who went to
Kansas under the auspices of the Emigrant
Aid Society, were 'sthe filth and dregs of So
y-whelps-villains, cut-throats,'' and
great variety of other ssvicked'' chaps, that
we have neither room nor inclination to emu
mcrate.
Mr.. Jefiries, who had the opening speech,
gave an historical account of the introduction
of slavery into this country, and its progress
since then-stated that it had been introduced
and fostered by the Popes of Romc-present-
ed many valuable statistics-and exhibited the
policy and objects of the Democratic leaders
in forcing the slavery agitation upon us in
this contest. Mr.. White, who was the col
league of Mr.. j., confined himself strictly
10 the question under discussion. His speech
es were logical, aIgumentative and pointed,
and received the merited commendaiion of all
parties. Though made without any previous
preparation, his speeches were mastery eff
forts, and give promise of bright future.
1t was generally conceded that our speakers
came off best in the controversy.
