Twenty five gentlemen calling themselves " the
" Republican Party Of Massachusetts," assembled
in Boston on Thursday last to declare their own
faith, to denoupce Mr. Banks to nominate ene DR..
Swan for Governor, ard to emit pronunciauento

admitted that there have been more numerous and

generous to grin at so small body with such great

irresistible. We arc inevitably reminded Of ban.

A Fearful Dream.

Some ninety years ago, there fourished in
Glasgo, club of young men, which, from
the extreme profiigacy Of their orgies, was
commonly called the Hell Club. Besides
their nightly or weekly meetings, they held
one grand annual saturnalia, in which each
tried 10 excel the other in drunkenness and
blasphemy; and on these occasions there
was no star among them whose lurid light
was more conspicuous than that of Mr..
Archibald b, WHO, endowed with
brilliant talents and handsome person, held
out great promise in his boyhood, and raised
hopes which had been completely frustrated
by his subsequent reckless designations.
One morning after returning from this
annual festival, Mr.. Archibald b. having
retired TO bed, dreamed the following dream :
He fancieI that ne himself was mounted
on favoritc black horse, that he always
rode, and that he was proceeding on towards
his own house then country scat, embow-
cred by trees, and situated upon hill, now
eatirely built over, and forming part Of the
city--wlen stranger, whom the darkness
of tine night prevented his discerning, sud
denly seized his horses rein, saying, "you
must 90 with me !"
And who are you 2" exclaimed the young
man. with volley of oaths, whilst he strug-
gled TO free himself.
.That you will see by and by" returned
the other, in tone that excited unaccounta
ble terror in the youth, who, plunging his
spars INTO his horse, attempted 10 fly, but
in vain. However fast the animal few, the
stranger was still beside him; ill at length,
in his desperate efforts TO escape, the rider

The Light at Home.

The light at home how bright it beams
When evening shades around us fall
And from the lattice far it CLEANS,
III. To love, aud rest, and comfort all.
When wearied with the tolls Of day,
And strife for glory, gold or fame,
How sweet to seek the quiet way,
Where loving lips will lisp our name,
Around the light at home!
When through the dark and stormy night,
The wayward wanaerer homeward hies,
How cheering is that twinkling light,
Which through the forest gloom he spies
1t is the light at home He feels
That loving hearts will greet him there,
And safely through his bosom steals
The Joy and love that Danish care,
Around the light at home
The light at home whene'er at last
1t greets the seaman through the storm,
lie feels no more the chilling blast,
That beats upon his manly form.
Long years upon the sea have fled.
Since Mary gave her parting kiss;
But the sad tears which she then shed,
Will now be paid with rapturous bliss
Around the light at home!
The light at home! how still and sweet
II peeps from yonder cottage door
The weary laborer to greet .
When the rough tolls of day are DER!
Sad is the soul that does not know
The blessings that the beams impart,
The cheerful hopes and joys that flow,
And tighten up the heaviest heart
Around the light At home!

INFLUENCE OF BYRoN's WoRKs-Perci-
val, the poet, was an eccentric man, with
all the sensitiveness of genius, and morbidly
alive to every remark. lie had a positive
dislike to the gentle sex. and yet his poetry
is full Of the most tender pathos and senti-
mentality. Unhappy in every sense of the
word, he would allow no friendly approach.
es, and even in sickness, shut himself out
from sympathy, and would disdainfully reject
all aid. Peter Farley (Mr. Goodrich) solves
the mystery of his recluse manners in the
following paragraph:
Il think he has been deeply injured
nay, ruined, by the reading of Byron's
works. at that precise age when his soul was
in all the sensitive bloom of Spring; and its
killing frost Of atheism, Of misanthropy. Of
pride and scorn fell upon it, and concerted
it into scene Of desolalion. The want of
general appreciation, Of love and friendship,
around his early life, caused its malignant
influence to deepen his natural shyness into
a positive and habitual self banishment from
his fellow men. Such is the sad interpreta
ton put upon his career"

BEAUTIFUL, AND, WE CAN READILY BE-
LIEvE, TRUE.-Who doubts that birds love
Here is an evidence from the National In.
telligencer:
A gentleman observed, in thicket Of
bushes near his dwelling, a collection Of
brown thrushes, who, for several days, at
tracted his attention by their loud cries and
strange movements. At last, his curiosity
was so much excited. that he determined TO
see il he could ascertain the cause of the ex.
element among them. On examining the
bushes, he found female thrush whose
wing was caught in such way that she
could not escape. Near by her was her
nest, containing several halfgrown birds.
On retiring little distance, company Of
thrushcs appeared, with worms and other
insects in their mouths, which they gave,
first to the mother, then to her Young, she,
in the meanwhile, cheering them in their Ia
Dor of love with a song Of gratitude. After
watching the interesting scene until curiosi-
~ was sat isfied, The gentleman relieved the
poor bird, when she flow to her nest with a
grateful cong to her deliver; and her char.
table neig6bors dispersed to their usual
abodes, singing, as they went, 9 song Of
praiseo
