THE LAST TRUMPET.
By FREDERICK WRIGHT.

Tho trumpet shall sound, and the dead in Christ
shall rise first.-PArL.
The hour of our glory is coming! is coming!
The hour of redemption from darkness to light;
When the usthidden jewels shall glistcn, aye
glisten,
With beauty and lustre transccndcnty bright!
Soon soons shall the trumpet etresoundng, resoundmg,
Mid the wavc-hiddcn caves Of the ocean, recall
The millions of sleepers, whom ages on ages
Have held undsputed, fast-bound in their thrall !!
The stretching desert whose sands shifting,
No dews ever know, save the tears OF its slain,
Shall send forth its victims by thousands on thou
sands,
sun-bleached though they be, they shall wakcn
again!
By the low-gushing fountain, where resting in
slumber,
The travel-worn pilgrim had laid down to die;
The battlefield gory-tlc garden, the mountain
The marble sarcophagus tenants supply.
From the wild wood and coppicc, where Murder,
foul Murder,
In darkness and silence iath hidden her slain;
Ambitions deep dungeons, the cods Of the valley
All, all shall enfranchise their prisoners again !!
When the last trumpet sounding shall send forth
its thousands,
Awakening the echoes of heaven and hell
Tothc saints twill bcmusc life giving and glorious
To exile and sorrow-an anthem farewell!
O,haste the glad dmoment--swcet mercy, propitious
May faith -glded patience our bosoms prepare
To stand in tic season of trying temptation
Rejoicingly faithful each burthen to bear;
Wide spread forth your pinions, yc angels OF COED
ness!
Yc scraphm, hasten, 0 hasten your Eight!
Roll ouward-roll swiftly-thou chariot Of glory J!
Ard chase from our vision those shadows otnGht.

An hour after dark, on the following evening

lovely Minnie Dan(orth.

to acknowledge their union.

Danlorlh was overioyed to be duly acknowledg-

The marriage proved a joyous one, and the
original assertion Of Dan(orth is truthful IN
every respect. The cunning lover was good
son and faithful husband, and lived many years
to enjoy the happiness which followed upon his
runaway match; While the old man never cared

CURRYTON.

CURRYToN.
Curryton is town,
Situated in the South,
Ten miles from Savannah,
But beyond this from its mouth.
A beautiful village,
Erected on seven hills,
Surrounded by silvery streams,
Gliding softly on their way.
A magnificent village,
Encirclcd by lofty hills,
Along the western sky
The lofty peaks like bulwarks built.
I've stood upon the height,
And from the lofty brow
Gazed from whence immensity,
Seemed stretching out far below.
I've stood beneath the forest shades,
And heard the wild birds call
Or listened to the flute-like voice,
Of some sweet waterfall.
The village Of which / speak,
Is built on healthy spot,
Where the bright morning SUN
Sheds forth his enliv'ning rays.
How calm the moonlight falls,
On silvery vale and hill,
While the Academic walls
CLEAN shadows deep'ning still.
A spell is on the oak leaves,
That lulls them to repose-
A rose tree climb up to the caves,
And dancing shadow throws.
A stiffness brcathes around,
No light wing'd-zephyr blows
Softly in the calm profound,
The stream low murm'ring flows.
And oft as round our head,
Affections cloud may blower,
We feel the peace around - shed,
BY one soft social hour.

FROM KANsAs-The proclamation of Cover
nor Walker relative to the October election in
Kansas, has been received in st. Louis. While
admitting the injustice exhibited in the appoint.
ment, the Governor e1culpates himself from
blame, by declaring that only four days remained
after his arrival in the Territory to make the ap..
pointments; that he did not know there existed
any law requiring him to make the appointment,
and therefore the duty devolved upon others.
He expresses the opinion that no one can vote
except those who are qualified under the terrific.
rial law; also, that under this law territorial
tax will not be required as a qualification.
Troops will be stationed at the various voting
places where any violence is apprehended, and
the best exertions will be used to make the elec.
ton q fair and honest expression of the views OF
the people.-Charlesto News.

it has been fair, in spite of the lateness Of the
