;DICATED TO MISS ADDIE ". H., OF CHICAG,
One summer eve watched the sun go down
And as he sunk behind the leafy hills,
Wrapped in his gorgeous cloak OF golden clouds,
The window shades of dag were slowly clOsedi
And lighted stars, within each chamber, shOne
Most beauteOusly.
But my heart was sad,
And sighed to the still night come;
For loved the day better than the night
Darkness and silence and gloom slowly grouped
Their icy wings about my soUl, and then
felt as II no light would ever come,
TO lift t!:e dusky mantle up again.
Lo! it was the moon. Oh, how softly fell
Her soothing smile upon the fevered heart,
Whose silent Thoughts were darker than the shade
OF darkest night. L lifted up my eyes,
And for = moment looked up IN her face
SO sweet and calm aud holy,-so radient
With beamings OF heavenly light.
felt how we'll the great Master had done
His noble work. The was gone indeed
But another and puEer lphI there
To make amends for his departed rays,
And with her myriad maiden stare, add
Ten thousad beauties to the nightly sky.
Alas! there is heart, whose Of lore
Has set behind the Yerdant hills OF life;
And whose night OF sorrow, long ere this hour,
Hath clouded dearest dreams OF happiness
Rut the sweet stars OF hope ara waiting noe
To shine again within her bosom's sky:
And the holy light of faiths CleRreSt moon,
Begins to shed its peaceful glow upon
BE patient,t,>n,
The slumb'ringwaves to kiss their dewy cLteks,
Al eventtde,-so shall thv departed love,
Prom out a quiet grave t thee softly
To his beloved arms Bgan.

ExGovEHNoH WALLER ALL RrGur on THE Lee
COMPTON QUEsrIoN.-It does us a world of good
to be able to present to our readers this morn
ing, Ex-Governor Walkers great letter to the
Democracy of Indiana, on the LecOmpton ques
ton. 1t will be seen that he is still with US,
and with all who oppose that stupendous piece
of cheatry; and more than that, that instead of
Abating his ZEAL the Ex-Governor is yet more
emphatic than ever in his denunciation of it
We trust that this letter will completely
counteract what effect the article from the
Philadelphia Bulletin, copied into our paper
day or two sirce may have had
THERE'S precious little danger, we apprchend,
of Gov. Walker going over to the Administra.

Gas METREs.-In calling attention to this i'm
portant matter, the Scientific Anariean remarks
that as gas companies provide their own metres,
the persons who consume the gas are not able
to tell whether they are deceived or not Mr..
Prince recommends that all gas metres be plac-
ed under competent public "SIetIe Inspector"
and that those who use the gas be permitted to
purchase stamped metres where they please
He also asserts that no gas company can prose-
cute for debt, as they cannot prove by law the
correctness Of any gas bill, and for this reason
they never prosecute, but cut off the supply of
gas from debtors, This is question which de-
serves to be probed to its very core. If the gas
metres are made as alleged by Mr.. Prince, of
course the public must be greatly wronged by
the gas companies
The Lancaster Express thinks "that this
would be good subject for the attention of the
Legislature of this State at the present session"
Perhaps the most efFetual way of reforming the
abuse of the present system, would be to cause
the person who makes out the bills, give
sworn statement of their correctness, thing of
which some people doubt somewhat whether
some of them could do under their present lib
erty, without stretching their consciences very
mucn.
