MORNING.
Selected from an Album Of original poems
BY CoRNEILLE.
Showers of liquid pearls bcspanele
All the glowing earth,
As it lieth now tranSfgured,
In tho glorious mornings birth.
Flocks of hcccy clouds, which flicker
The stainless fields OF heaven,
Arc, by golden fingers Of the dawn,
Into thousand cloudlets rivcn.
Dipp'd in sun-shower now they pave
The eternal fields of blue;
Through their riitcd gems the sunlight,
With its jcwelcd arrows flew.
To tip with a crown let every flower
That looketh to the sky,
Whilst threads of gold it weaveth,
In earth's green tapestry.
From the living altars, founded
When the stars together sang,
When through the purple ether
Their silver choirings rang;
From each altar in the forest,
From it's chalices of gold,
Rise up perfumed oblations,
As on that morning old.
List! the invisible spirits Of dawn
A glorious psalm are singing,
Through the olden pines the melody,
Like clarion note is ringing.
"Glorious feet on the mountains,
Foretell the approach Of dawn
The glorious resurrection,
The last, the Eternal morn y

AIR. Ten BEoEcH'S WINS1NGs.-As every
body is anxious to know whether Mr.. Ten
Brock made himself whole by his Winnings in
the Cesarewitch, for the expenses and losses Of
his spirited enterprise, we'will state says Por-
ter's Spirit of the Times, that we have reliable
information that lie bet very largely on the re-
suit and that he not only reimbursed himself
for all his outlays and mishaps but is largely in
excess. Without any special information on
the subject, however, all who knew Mfr. Ten
Brock would be sure ct this result He had
lost the whole season llrongh, and the New
market meeting ef!orded him his last and only
chance for the season to get even. The with
lrawal Of Pryor, also, made it still more ncccs-
sary that lie should not let slip the only oppor-
tunity within his reach to redeem his unfortun-
ate campaign. Undsg, such circumstances, a
man with no more psaek than rabbit would
cl bound to bet with spirit. while a game man.
like Mr. Ten Broecll, would be sure to go a
good length. The weights snitcd him; the
marc was in fine condition: and all we have to
add is, that If he laid out q bare one thousand
pounds at the odds, he stands winner to the
tune Of half million Of dollars. Although a
great many have been laughing at him here, he
is now laugli:,:. Mt them, in the right tone.

TIE APPROACHING STATE FArR.-We notice
that our Charleston friends are making active
preparations for the fair, which is to convene in
their city on the 18th proxmo. This is COM
mcndable, and we sincerely hope, and Lave no
tonbt from what we have seen and heard, that
tie citizens OF our own city will not be behind
those OF the metropolis in making all ncedlul
and necessary preparations for the State Fair,
which is to convene in our city OH Tuesday, tho
lO;l. of November. To our friends in every
part OF the State, and in the ncishboring States,
we would say, that although money matters arc
somewhat tight, and but few Of US have suf
cicncy of the "circulatinS medium" still wo
nope that this will not relax their energies or
interest in our State Fair; and we trust that
we Shall sec a large number of contributions i'll

The IncidentaI Printing Of the Hsu.s.

1t appears that some false impressions have
gone abroad in regard to the disposition of thi,
portion OF the patronage of the Legislature, which
when disposed of, was under control of the Rep.
ublican members of the House.
DR.. Thomas Foster, of Hastings-an old print.
er and an old editor, but long since retired from
the business-was chosen as person known to
many members, who would makea proper and
equal distribution Of the work and the profits re-
sultng therefrom between the two Republican
Offices of st. Paul. His name, of course, was
used without his knowledge, and would have been
without his consent had he been present at the
time of his election.
1t is scarcely necessary to add, that DR.. Fos-
ter promptly proceeded to execute the trust re-.
posed in him by the members of that party in
which he has been faithful and efficient worker
from the very commencement of its organization.
lie receives no pecuniary advantages whatever
from the House printing. Whatever beneficial
results may accrue from the same, 60 to the pro-
prietors of the Times and Mnnesotian, who have
relieved DIR. Foster from all responsibilities, Pc
cuniary and otherwise, connected with the exc
cution of the work.
We have deemed this explanation necessary to
place DR.. Foster s'right on the record,n and to
show the constituents of the Republican members
that their representatives have made proper and
equitable disposition of all the printing patron
age they had the power of controlling. II is, of
course, generally understood that the incidental
printing is that species of work which must of ne.
cessity be executed here at the Capitol day by
day, in order that the business of legislation may
be properly expedited.-Daily Minnesotiom. =

the condition of the pave. Up Third-st. to Min

St. Anthony, up St. Anthony to the Winslow
House, then short corner and back again to the

and broke the cutter, our informant says " all to
smash.'' Another nag also got his ideas up in
the afternoon, broke loose from his moorings, by
the Presbyterian Church, and when we saw him.
he had made kindfng- wood of another goose

)ishment-broken horse, broken thills, and bro
ken harness-had taken to the ice, and was cut

these are common-p places, and-pshaw! we did

Ihen-(six years ago)-a now prominent Gro
Gerry merchant of ST. Paul, occupied small
store in what was considered a business part of
the city. His trade was some four or five thou
sand dollars per year, and his pro6ts-well, we'll
leave that to his books. close application to
business enabled him to enlarge his trade from
year to year, so that moO, he occupies a large
stone building on Robert-st., has very exten
sive stock of Groceries and Provisions, and does
an annual business of 100000. Mr.. N. +. Ty-

We well remember three years ago, while
perambulating the city in search of statistical
information for the Pioneer, a small wooden
building near the lower levee, which was dig.
nified with the title of the St. Paul Foundry.
On entering it we found one man and one boy
at work, and from inquiries learned that they
had about as much as they could do-no more.
During those three years great change has
taken place in this branch of business. Now
the same man has in his employ thirty men
occupies large factory-drives one or two
steam-engines-employs ten times the amount
of capital he employed three years ago, and
does business Of upwards of SlOO, 900 l.

a CANE FOR SENATOR SUxNER.-The Chicago
Journal says: Gov. Robinson, of Kansas, who
passed through this city for the East on Friday
night, bore with him a beautiful cane from Major
Bickerton, one the Free State prisoners, for Sem
ator Sumner. The cane was wrought by he Ma
jor's own hands, during his Imprisonment at Le-
compton, and the device is peculiarly appropriate
and significant, the whole being carved from a
solid piece of wood, and highly polished. Upon
it are thrty-one artificial knots, fifteen of which
are within the coils of serpent, representing the
fifteen States enslaved and sixteen without its
coils, representing the sixteen Free States and
as the serpent (Slavery) is still reaching after
more States around which to coil itself, the Ge-
Mus of Liberty grasps him around the neck and
says Thus far thou hast gone, but no farther
canst thou go'-thus forming the head of the
cane."
