Dust, the emblem of the dead!

Ere the tempest gathers strong,

Tempest's thrall, cloud of dust.
Every mote is like u man,
Flying from opprcssion's van.

Falling delugo-like and stark;
Dust is beaten down to mud.
So are times when mcnmu grovcl,
In the palace as the hoycl

On the ground and in the air,
Blown by pleasure, fear and lust,
Beaten down to low despair;
Born of dust, to come to dust, .s .

The Little Ones in BED.

Arrow of'little faces by the bed
row of little hands upon the spread
row oflistle rogueish eyes all closed. y
A row of little naked feet exposed
A gentle mother leads them in their pfaise
Tcaching their feet tread in heavenly ways,
And takes this,lull in childhood's tiny tide,
The Tito errors of the day to. chide.
Then tumbling headlong into waiting beds.
Beneath thesheets they hide their timid heads;
Till slumber steals away their idle fears,
And like pceping bud each face appears.
All dressed likoangcls intheir gowns ofwhitc;
They're waited to the skies in dreams of hight;
And heaven will sparkle in their eyes at morn,
And stolen graces Alletheir ways adorn. Y

A man named Wood, residing in
Union street, Poughkeepsle, committed
a rape upon little child, daughter Of
Mr.. Snyder, Of that city. 1t appears
that he coaxed her into the house about
81 o'clock, and there accomplished his
hellish purpose. The poor little girl
is only a years old, and cannot posi-
bly, recover. The outrage was COM
mitted at 81 o'clock on Saturday night.
1t is said that this is the second out
rage that this gray headed villain has
committed. lie is about 60 years of
age.

The st. Joseph Gazette says:
ave learn from S. Tennent Esq,
that gold has been found in large guam
titles about seventy miles from Fort
Laramie. in the direction Of Laramie's
Peak. A young gentleman, VIM. Bry-
an, formerly of this city, has written a
letter to his father, living in Kansas,
urging him to leave everything. here
and 20 these mines. He writes that he
was shown one lump that weighed four
pounds, and was assured by those who
made the discovery that these mines
equal the richest Of California placers."
The fact that this region Of the
country has been SO frequently passed
over by cmigrant trains, and subjected
to meteorological surveys, both private
and governmental, fsvors the assump-
ton that the assumption that the
whole story is apocryphal, and it would
be folly in any one to go there in
seasch of gold until the report receives
further and abundant confirmation.

very inconsistent journal and that its
Editors are set Of graceless, unprinc'-
pied rascals-but with the other Dill
Ion papers, the Ercelsior very carefully
rcfrains from stating, or intimatlng by
the slightest reference, the real cause
of The change in the candidates Of the
republican organ Of Clinton county,
Among all of the Dillon organs in the
district there is not one having snffic-
len: honesty to give their fellow repub-
lican paper, the benefit Of its only ex-
cuse for its inconsistency. No one
dares to state the truth, that the change
was made by compulsion; because
forced to do SO by the unanimous voice
of the republican party OF Clinton
county.
The Ercelsior also adopts the dodge
Of knitting its ponderous eyebrows into
frown truly terrible to look upon,
and Of uttering dire threats Of an i'm
mediate decapitations Of all republicans
who refuse to obey the mandates of
the wire pullers and pipe layers, and
support John +. Dillon.
The Excelisor seems to think IN
Jackson county, as the Gazette does
in Scott county, that it owns the Re
publican party body and soul that it
is entitled to do all the thinking and
reasoning, and nominating for the par
ty and that the only part in which the
people have right to act, is in voting
for such men as it shall see fit to desig-
nate. Any objection to the claims OF
its pct candidates by the people is re-
jected as an unwarrantablc interfer
ence, and any refusalto support an un-
fair and dishonest nomination is look
ed upon with as much horror as was
the celebrated request of Oliver Twist
for more"
Towards the close Of its rambling
and furious article, however, the Er-
celsior gets down on its knees to the
Bennett men, and in the most ablect
manner bcgs them to reconsider their
action, lest preadycnture they should
defeat Mr.. Dillon, aud ruin the rcpub-
lican party. They are told that the
nomination of Mr., Dillon was fairly
and honestly made; that no ropes were
set or pipes laid but that it was sponta-
ncous tribute to the personal worth
and great party services Of Mr.. Dillon,
of which Judge Bennett had no right
to complain ;-meaning, We suppose
that the township Convention, held in
this City for the appointment Of dele
gates was a spontaneous thing and
came together without any influence
of Mr.. Dillon, and that the visits Of
Henry O'Conner in Clinton county
and to the Editor of the Excelsior,
were merely friendly calls having nc
reference to the nomination Of Himself
and Mr. Dillon. We apprehend that
the Excelsior will discover somewhere
about the day of the election, that the
members Of the republican party are
not all fools-its opinion and that ofthe
Davenport Gazette to the contrary not
withstanding.
