LINES ON THE HEART.

Awake my heart-why sorrow now
While beauteous nature sings
While balmy breezes flow along
With music on their wings?
Why mourn the joys already past1
Sure others yet will come
To fill the aching void within
And cheer thy dreary home.
Life yet is bright-far down the dim
And bill0wy tide of time
see loved ono, whose fond heart
Still feels for thee and thine.
Her bright blue eye beams DER the wave
The clear, sweet voice says "come,"
And though the waves are running high
Thou'lt safely reach her home.
Oh heart, be still--trust yet that time
Win pleasures past return,
And that thy hopes, now faint and few,
Will yet more brightly burn.
How can that spark Of heavenly hope
Ter take its final flight
why should dark doubts come DER thy path
Ind Shroud loves trust in night?
Away with thoughts Of sadness, then,
LIES future yet will bring
Those "rainbow hues" to deck thy sky
or which thou once did sing.
Then wake my hearth will be glad
While smiling nature rings
While ba(my breezes flow along
With music on their wings!

The New Haven Rejoinder.

The signers Of the New Haven memori-
al not satisfied with the sophistry, and
false assumptions Of the President in his
recent reply to their memorial, have pub
l;shed an able rejoindcr to his letter going
over the grounds ofcontrovcrsy and show
ing by the keenest logic, the incorrect
ness and absurdity Of the Presidents let,
ter. We give the article entire this week,
though we could lily afford so much space
for such purpose. Having published the
Presidents letter entire, common justice
seemed to demand Of us publication OF
the rejoindcr entire. The memorialists
wisely omit reference to the presidents
speculative opinions contenting themselves
with showing the absurdity OF the Presi-
dents position that he was bound to re-
spect the bogus laws Of Kansas because
they cmanatcd from what purports to
be government. The re oinder deserves
to be read attcntivcly.

HE UNION
AND
EASTERN JOURNAL

FRIDAY MORNING. OCT. 2, 1857.

For several weeks past there has been
an unprecedented stringcncy in the mon.
etary affairs Of the country, and it has
given rise to much commercial embarrass-
ment, and all over the country, and par
ticularly in the Middle and Western
States, many heavy failures have taken
place. The failures have been for large
amounts. Many old established firms,
supposed to be rich and ableto withstand
almost any shock, have been obliged to
suspend or have failed altogether. To
add to the general distress, and excite
ment, nearly all ofthe banks in Philadel-
phia, and in many other places in Penn
sylvania, in Richmond, Washington, Bal
timore have suspended specie payment.
Since 1887 there has been no commercial
revolution that would compare with tho
present. The New England banks thus
far, have breasted the storm and there
have been less failures in our cities and
towns than in the Middle and Western
States. The country is now paving dear
ly for the universal haste Of the people
to get rich. Stock. jobbing, railroad
kiting, general extravaganza, and fast liv-
ing, good deal Of trading, and too little
producing, is doing its work pretty effect
ually. If there was probability that
men would learn wisdom from past eI-
perienccs, and not make such haste to get
rich as they have done, the revulsion,
though it will cause distress to thousands
of innocent men would not be SO much
to be regretted.

TT We acknowledge the compliment
paid us by the Band recently organized
here, under the direction ofMr. Z. York,in
the agreeable sercnade OF instrumental
music they gave us, by the silvcry light
of the moon, on Monday night. The
band has our thanks for their music, and
our best wishes for their success, and We
trust that they will be appreciated as they
deserve to bo by our fellow citizens. We
detected in the harmonious strains as they
lured us from our proof reading, the skill
and precision Of the practiced performer.
Some years ago, flour memory is not ut
fault, Mr.. York, whose merits rs teach
or Of instrumental music is universally ac-
knowledgcd, succeeded inlayingthe found
alton for most excellent band which was
q credit to him and to the place. We
imagine that equal success may attend his
efforts now, he and his fellow musicians
receive that encouragement which is their
due.

LIVERY STABLE BURNED.

The livery stable Of Joseph Hardy, sit
uated on Water street. Saco, was destroy
ed by FIRE on Sunday night together with
its contents, and the hostler, Mr. James
White, with thirteen horses persisted in
tho flames.
The fire was discovered about ten
o'clock and was at that time so well un-
der way as to bafflc all efforts even to
save the horses and other property
About nine o'clock the last horse and car
riagc, that Of E. R. Wiggin Esq., who had
been to Hollis after some member Of his
family, was put up and the stable closed.
At that time all was right. In the short
space Of less than an hour, the stable was
in flames.
The horses destroyed belonged, nine Of
them, to Mr.. Hardy, one to G. A. Carter,
ofthe Express Co, one to E. r. Wiggin
ESQ., one to Capt. VIM. F. Pike, and one
owned by Mr.. Hardy and John Gains
They were all valuable horses, particular
ly those belonging to Mr.. Wiggin and to
Mr.. Carter. Mr.. Carriers horse was one
Of the best trained horses VIC ever knew,
favoritc with everybody on account OF
his intelligence and beauty, and particu,
larly so to Mr.. c. on accounted his sterling
qualities as an Express horse. Tho horse
and Express Wagon also destroyed, was
valued at $1,000. Mr.. Virgins horse
and carriage was also valued at from
$500 to 5000. All of Mr.. Hary's car.
riagcs were burned, and his out buildings
together with some twelve tons of hay
! in fact nothing was saved whatever. MIR
Hardy owned the buildings and these to-
gether with their contents with his books
lost were worth some $4,000 or $4,000
There was no insurance OH the property
Mr.. Hardy having Inadvertently allowed
the policy to run out some weeks before
The loss is a severe one to him, rs it takes
from him nearly all the savings OF many
years. In the vicinity Of the building
burned there were many buildings On
dangcrcd by the fire, but the fircmen o
the two places were promptly on the
ground, and by their active cxcrtions pre-
vented the spread Of the flames. There
was little or no wind, and this::al0ne saved
the place from disastrous contlagration
Several buildings caught fire from the
burning cinderS but the flames were
checked without serious damage.
The Triumph company ofour city were
promptly on the ground with their tub
and seconded with n will the labors Of
their brother frcmcn of Saco, the Niagara
and the Deluge companies, in preventing
the spread ofthe fire. Considering tina,
the fire was in place where were con-
grega,cd many wooden buildings, all Of
them very combustible,it is fortunate that
the fire did not extend further.
Mr.. White, the person who persisted
IN the flames, was an Irishman about 35
years Of age and leaves n wife and three
children. His blackcncd remains were
found next morning, body much burned
and disiigurcd.
