Tear Drops.

rear drops.
Tear drops, how love to see you
On the sunny cheek of YOUTH
Showing that the heart is tender,
Filled with virtuous love and truth.
When the eye Of youth can weep not
When the breast can heave no sigh,-
Oh how scared must be that conscience,
How unit to live or die.
Tear drops, how love to see you
Tremble on the manly cheek,
Speaking words more frauglit with meaning
Than the lips of man can speak.
When the heart is filed with sadness:
When the sea of trouble, deep,
Think not man, the adage truthful
1T is vomanly to weep"
Tear drops, how love to see you
Rolling from the mothers eye,
When departing son or daughter,
Clasps her hand to say good bye"
Often has some wicked action,
Whispered in tnat youthful ear,
Been restrained from execution
BY that sainted mothers tear.
Tear drops, how love to see you
Failing gently from the eye,
When the christians knee is humbed,
And his thoughts are fixed on high.
When the pail of night hath fallen,
And the world is hushed in sleep,
How divine that faithful christian,
Who for others wrongs can weep.
car drops, how love to see yod
Failing on the coffined clay
OF loved one now departed,
A. the last sad rites we pay.
When the hungry grave is closing
0'er friend in deaths cold sleep,
Who would be ashamed to gather
Round that sacred spot, and weep?
When this active form is lifeless,
And this heart hath ceased to beat,
would ask, one tribute, ouly,
IT'S the tear affection weeps.

FIFE, STEWART AND JoNEs.-The following
We clip from the Pittsburgh Gasette of the 18th
inst:
We mentioned last week in the Gazette that
counsel for Fife g. Co. had taken the preliminary
steps toward takirg the case up to the Supreme
Court. At that time, as we then stated, the rec
ord which is very voluminous was not ready and
the matter was postponed until vest rday, when
Mr. Rowey, Clerk Of Court of Quarter Sessions
had completed it. Counsel made application at
that time, asking that writ of error might issue,
and Judge Lowrie signGed his willingness to ex.
anime the record, which, as we have above stated,
is now ready. Before what session of the Su-
preme Court it may come, we of course are not
prepared to say. We presume that if the writ be
granted it mg ght go before the session in the East
ern part of the State or come on here in 0ctoI err
If this effort shall fail, the last ground disappears
from under the feet of the sentenced ones. Their
safest way now is to put their trust in God, who
can have mercy and grant pardon and peace even
TO them, though under the condemnation Of all
laws, human and divine,

REPoRr OF THE DEYALoATIoS MATTER-We
give our readers this week part of the report o.
the Auditor and Commissioner upon the deficit
in the State Treasury. For want Of space we do
not publish the full report this week, but will
conclude it IN next weeks paper II would be
well for our readers to preserve this paper until
they get the next issue, so that they can read
the full report at one reading, and then judge ior
themselves who should incur the greater part Of
the blame, Breslin or Gibson.
We would here sag that tho Chairman Of the
Investigating committee, Mr, Thos Sparrow, held

we got there we found everything in order, and

we could muster, as members Of the Press; but
we regret to say that we found very poor at

There was, however, quite crowd Of ladies

In the afternoon we were favored with speech

kind that you get at the Springs.
