Written on the Death of a Child.

Sleep little Johnnie sleep,
Not in thy cradle bed,
Not on thy Mothers breast,
Henceforth shall be thy rest;
But with the quiet dead.
Sleep, little tender Johnnie,
Sleep in thy grassy nest,
There the first flowers shall blow
The first pure fake of snow
Shall fall upon thy breast.
Mount up immortal essence,
Young Spirit hence depart;
And is this death, dread thing,
Ifsuch thy visiting,
How b autiful thou art.
God took thee in his mercy
A lamb untasked-untried,
He fought the field for thee
He won the victory,
And thou art sanctified.

Montreal, witnessed an experiment by
one of the learned members of that body,
which he describes thus: 81 saw one
large, red faced, burly gentleman perform
an adroit experiment, at White river
junction. He filled tumbler half full of
water, and by discharging pocket pis-
tol into the same, changed its color into
a brandy hue. After holding the liquid
to the light he deliberately drank it. |

Railroad R,ll Passed.

News has been received in this city that the
bill granting lands to Minnesota for Railroad
purposes, has passed both branches of Congress,

President. The mere announcement is sufficient
without any flourish of trumpets from us. As q
matter of course our readers and all others will
receive the information with great pleasure. "a
P. S.-Since the above was written, we have
received Chicago papers OF the 26th, 9th and
18th, as well as Dubuque paper Of ths 1st, but

by Governor German and his aiders and abettors,
has at last received the signature of his Exceen-

mocracy that the people have the right to rule,
has been most decidedly ignored by the majority

their consistency in refusing to submit the ques-
