The PASS OF DEATH.

IL was q narrow pass,
Watered with human tesn,
For Death had kept the QUIZ s'o
Almost six thousand Veai' 90.
Was ever in my ears
Phronofng jostling, hurrylng oyJ
AZ IN thew were only born 20 de
A stately king drew near,
ThIs narrow path to tread,
Around him hung gorgeous robe,
And crown was on his head;
But death, with a look Of whitening scorn,
Arrested him and said,
In humber dress must the King draw near,
For tie crown and purple are useless here"
Next came o man Of wealth,
And his eye was proud and bold,
And bore IN his hand a lengthy scrou, o
Telling Of sums unto'd;
But Death, who careth not for rank,
Careth as little for gold
Here that scroll cannot allow,
For the gold Of the RI hest Is Powerless now"
Another followed fast,
And book was in his hand,
FILLED with the flashes Of burning thought
That are known In many land;
But the child Of genius quailed to hear
Death's pitiless demand
UHere that book cannot enter with thee
For the bright lash Of genius is nothing to me !"
Next came maiden fair,
With that eye so deeply bright,
That stirs WITHIN you strange sweet care,
should you meet on a summer night;
But Death ere the gentle maid passed through,
Snat he'd away It's Light
Beauty Is power In the world, }" he saith,
But what can II do In the Pass Of Death ~
A youth Of sickly misn
Followed In thoughtful mood,
Whose heart was filed with love TO God
And the early brotherhood
Death felt he could not quench the heart
That lived for others good
Il own !" cried he, " the power OF love,
i must let II pass to the realms above ;"

His father took his advice in making
his last will, and at all times advised and
consulted freely and affoctionatcly with
him, having confidence in his love, in
gritty and judgment.
He was not with his father at tho

From the Washington Union.
LATE KNOW-NOTuIN TRICE

But for one point in the proceedings
Of the late Fillmore Convention, assem-
bled at Baltimore, we should not have
noticed it with any article of comment
But that one point is 50 fragrant that we
are bound to expose the error, not tocall
it by stronger term.
One Of the resolutions adopted by the
Convention is as follows:
"Resotoed, That, without adopting or
referring to the peculiar doctrines of the
party which has already selected Mr..
Fillmore as its candidate, we look to him
as a well-tried and faithful friend of the
constitution and the Union, eminent alike
for his wisdom and frmness for his
justice and moderation in our foreign re-
lations--for his calm, pacific tempera-
ment, well becoming the head Of great
and enlightened goyernment--fo his de-
votion to the constitution in its true
spirit, and his inaexibility in executing
all laws passed under its authority; but,
beyond all these attributes, in possessing
the one transcendant merit Of being the
representative of neither of the two Sec
tional parties now struggling for politi-
cal supremacy"
We can readily imagine that reckless
demagogue, or political advcnturer, Or
some excited stump orator, might hazard
the bald declaration that the democratic
party was sectional. But that the grave
deliberations Of convention, represent
ing a party in several of the States Of
the Union, and composed, TO limited
extent, Of men who had some eminence,
could prepare aud publish to the country
so palpable violation Of fact and history,
and libel upon great party, so easy
Of refutation and exposure, to subserve
their own party purposes, is to show
disregard Of those high moral considera-
tons that should never be lost sight Of
in the defence Of any cause, however
dignified or desperate. These gentle
men say that Mr.. Fillmore possesses
'the one transcendant merit Of being
the representative Of neither Of the two
sectional parties now struggling for po-
litical supremacy" The truth Of the
charge, as far as it applies to the Black
Republicans, we admit. But against
the democratic party we deny it toto celia.
IN the early history Of the country two
great parties were organized that divided
