MORNING SONG.

The stars are fading from the sky.
The mists before the morning fiv;
The east is glowing with a smile,
And nature laughing all the while,
Says, clear the way, the world is waking
Night is gone, and day is breaking.
The cock has crowed with all his might,
The birds are singing with delight.
The hum of business meets the ear,
And face to face with kindly cheer,
Says, clear the way &c.
The bel is ringing, haste away
The school is open. leave off play So
The sun of knowledge there We find
Arising on the youthful mind
So clear the way DC.

devoted tothe cause of Freedom, Progress. and
Reform. Believing that Liberty, and not
Bondage, is the saving principle Of the Repub-
lie, it is enlisted into the Republican ranks,
not for a campaign, but during the struggle
between Freedom and Slavery 1t contends
for the principles declared by the unanimous
vote of the Fathers of the Republic in the Con-
gross of 1857, that "Slavery or involuntary SER

western home circle, and the fireside of intelli--
gent, freedom-loving families.

tory, not only fer Chicago, but for the princi-
pal eastern markets. The Chicago quotations
