The Song Of Labor.

Ho! idlng drones of this teemng earh,
Make way for the sons of toll,
Who redeem the promise implied by birth,
And live not by theft or spoil;
Faith clings to their manly and honest grasp,
And brightens their eager glance,
And lordlings quake, like the trembling asp,
As the sous of toll advance.
With stalwart arm and trenchant blIde
The forests are cleared away,
And labor laughs, as with hoe and spade
Asst delves in the virgin clay
whate'er it touches it turns to gold
Fair fruitful fields appear
Where deserts moaned in days Of old,
And knew not the harvest's cheer.
There's magic charm in the toiler's hand
And all but creative might
Which thought can clothe and dream expand,
Till they burst on the gazer's sight,
In temples fair, and in fabrics strange
The triumphs Of plastic art
which can give to Science its widest range,
And TO Commerce its golden mart.
The stately ship, which in pride careers
Der the wilds Of the pathlcss sea,
And the mystic needle by which she steers,
Brave tOiler were made by thee
The freight she bears is thy gathered store,
From the mountain and field and mine
From the forest shade, from the pearl strewn shore
And the caverned depths of brine.
ThOu'st built the palace and sacred fame,
And fashioned the kingly crown;
The cities which smile upon hill and plain,
And forts TO defend or frown.
The broad canal and the iron rail,
And the lightning's nerve-like wire,
Which can thrill with thoughts, or in sadness wall
Like the struggle Of Apollo's Tyre.
The household gods in the lowly home,
Are sacred made by thee;
They are dear as the perlumed amber-foam
To the gods of the sounding sea.
The things Of use, and of courtly slow,
Spring alike from thy cultured skill
Then assert thy rights, and let rulers know
The might Of the toiler's will.

No God.

The following verses by that sweetest Of American
pOetesses, Mrs. Lydia Huntey sigourney, suggested
by the words in the l4th Psalm of David, "The foo
hath said in his heart there is no God,n is one of th
finest things in the language:
"No God ~ "No God!" The simplest flowe
That on the wild is found,
Shrnks, as 1t drinks its cup Of dew,
And trembIes at the Sound;
mo God p'-astonished Echo cries
From out her cavern hoar,
AMI every wandering bird that flies
Reproyes the Atheistlore.
The solemn forest lifts It's head,
The Almighty TO proclaim,
The brOOklet on its crystal urn,
Doth leap to grave his name.
How swells the deep and vengeful sea,
Along his billowy track,
The red Vesuvus opes his mouth,
To hurl the ialsehood back.

The cocoa's leafy shades,
The breadfruit bending to its lord,

Inc winged seeds that borne by winds,
The rowing sparows feed,
Inc melon on the desert sands,
Confute the scorner's creed.
No GOdm With Indignation high

pG5- A rather singular; II not amusing
festival, called the "Purim, twas observed
by the members Of the Jewish persuasion
on the 9th and 10th Of March last, in New
York-the FIRST as a fast day. and the
latter as festival---in commemoration Of
the hanging Of Haman by King Ahasuerus
1t will be remembered that Haman tried
to compass the life OF Mordecai, and built
gallows for his special benefit, but
through the influence Of Queen EsiheF,iB
Jewess, and relative Of Mordecia, Haman
was compelled to occupy the halter which
he had prepared for another. The Queen
tasted when she supposed her relative was
to be hung, but feasted next day when his
enemy was destroyed. The observance Of
the "Purim" is purely traditional, and is
not, the Jews say, rendered obligatory by
the ceremonial law.
D65- The Democrats Of Missouri have
nominated r. NJ. Stewart for Governor, 10
place of Gov. Polk, who is elected to the

DS- A man announced in New York
that he has discovered a process Of liquify-
ing quartz, by which the least particle Of
gold can be distracted, and then Of harden
ing it, so as to afford a new material for
building, and for tho various purposes to
which stone and marble can DO applied.
This is very tough story. "a.

THE OPPOSITION TO NM BUcHANAx's ADMIN
IsTRATIoN-The opposition to the incoming ad-
ministration is beginning to develope itself, and
will be composed of two factions one North and
one South. The Southern faction is ultra pro-
slavery, and will be headed by such men as JEFF
ferson Davis and Toombs of Georgia, with such
organs as the New Orleans Delta. The Northern
branch of the opposition will be headed by
Seward, Sumner, Garrison, Greeley aud Thurlow
Weed, with such organs as the Liberator, Tribune
and Albany Ereaing Journal, ultra anti-slavery
all through. So it would seem that the niger
drivers and niger worshippers are at last Gagged
for the same fight

ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF STArE-Our cores
pOndence from Washington informs us that Mr..
Henry Ledyard, the son-in-law of General Cass,
is to be the Assistant Secretary of State.
Mr.. Ledyard is native Of New York,
and is gentleman of education, intelligence,
accomplishments and responsibility. He has
resided several years in Europe and is perfectly
acquainted with most of the modern languages.
Young Cass, after leaving Rome, will therefore
have no chance of filling any place of importance,
nor ought he. Whilst we have high respect for
General Cas- as statesman, gentleman, a
scholar and man Of talent, we believe young
Cass to be one Of the most unmitigated scamps
that ever held any respectable post for the Ame-
rican government abroad, and there is hardly an
American who has been in Europe who will not
admit the truth of the picture.

HE TRANSATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.-The amend
ed bill ito expedite telegraphic communication ("
by aiding the Atlantic telegraph, is now law.
Its effect will be to authorize our government
to agree upon tariff of telegraph rates with the
company, under which the company cannot re-
ceive over $4,000 year and, seemingly, by
implication, will not receive much less. AS to
the constitutionality of the bill, no doub. the
government is entitled to pay horse owners and
steamboat owners for carrying its messages and
doing its business; and hence it must be au-
thorized also to hire telegraphs to do the same
The new Law no more than confirms the right
The effect of the transatlantic telegraph can
hardly be exaggerated 1t will be equivalent to
new revolution every ten or twenty years ir
Europe-such thing as the transportation Of
the United States out of this continent into
Europe, and settling it down beside France,
Spain or Germany. When little Switzerland,
with its oligarchies and hierarches is such a
thorn in the side of the despots, we can fancy
how the proximity of the United States, with
her thirty millions of untameable democrats, will
worry and frighen them. 1t would be worth the
seventy thousand dollars year merely to see
how these venerable thrones will stand so close
contact with practical, every day handwriting
democracy.
