The DEAD BoY.-rhe rich humor of
Mr. Buffers Poem, "Two Millions"
has beer universally acknowledged but
his tender pathos is no less genuine.
What mothers heart will not feel the
exquisite beauty of these lines?
"She crossed the sill She pointed to the bed,
There lay her boy, his innocent curly head
Nestled upon the pillow, and his face
Lit with the solemn and unearthly grace
That crowns but once the children of our race;
God gives it when he takes them; he was dead.
A broken toy a bunch of withered flowers,
In his thin hands were clasped his breast
above,
The last frai ties that to this world of ours
Had linked the suiferer-save a mothers love.

BY MRS. J. FoUTs

The lightning on high, the king of the sky,
Marshalled the hosts of cloud
And the proud sun died, with his silvery
bride,
Meath the tempest's blackning shroud;
Then, down to the earth with fiery dearth,
He sent his conquering sword,
And with mighty hand, chained the wild
land,
To speak his breathless word.
Yet, old ocean de6ed, with towering pride,
Fen the glance of the victors eye,
AS he searched sea caves, for sainted graves,
Where the young and the holy lie;
But with gay disdain, of Xerxes chain
The scotfing mermaids told,
And chained as their dover, the feet in its
power,
With its freight of life and gold.
The lightning leaped down, with its scathing
frown,
AS rose the defiant strain,
And from the gilt walls, of the sunset halls,
He battled with the main;
The strife was long, for deep and strong
The ocean forces lay,
But Ger the fell rock, and through the waves
shock,
The conquerer sped his way
And with iron band, the deep he spanned
And earth sent a jubilee
From the east came voice, to the west to
rejoice,
In their joint victory
And the loved and lost, from the wave tombed
host,
With their murmur swelled the strain,
AS time and tide, in dismantled pride,
Are mourning their languished reign.

Dur Rail Road.

Notwithstanding the plausible, bu,
unjustifable assaults which have been
made through the New York Times
Cinein natl Gazette and some other
Journals, upon the official management
of this road, and the charges of fraud
in the late negotiations which resulted
in obtaining the means in Europe for the
prosecution of the work, we have every
reasonable assurance, from advices re
ceived by DR.. CLARK, not only of the
utter falsity of all those statements, but
that the money and the men are now be.
ing employed on the eastern end of the
Road. The "good time" is coming Oh

MIR. Miller.

Mr.. Miller, the Democratic member
of Congress from the Chillieothe Dis
trict in this State, received at the late
election 8,643 votes. Two years age
he got but 7,4o3 votes. He voted for the
admission of Kansas under the Lecomp
ton Constitution, and supported the
Presidents policy throughout. The
fact that he got 1900 additional votes
at the second election, and reduced the
Fusion majority in the district from
$500 to 900, does not indicate that has
course was unpopular with the people OF
his district, as the Fusion press pre-
tended Crawford Co. Forum.

APPALLING RESULT OF SoMNAMBULIsMs
Friday evening a farmer named John
Bray, who was removing to some point
on the Missouri river with his father in
law, aud four children, came in on the
Ohio and Mississippi Railroad. Being
in Strengthened circumstances, the family
obtained permission TO stop for the
night in a small room on tho ferry-dock
at the foot of Carr street. Be tween
twelve and one O'Clock in the night Bray
arose, IN his sleep, and taking his
youngest child, aged three years, in his
arms, actually walked from the room
and into the water! The piteous wall.
ing cries of the child, and the loud calls
of the father for help, soon drew a num-
Der of lersons to the melancholy scene
from adjacent places IN the Levee.-
The frantic grief of tho family partook
of the incoherence and wildness of ma
MACS and is described to be of the most
heart rending description. Before in,
geuuity could resolve on any means of
rescuing the drowning objects, both had
sunk to be seen no more alive.-!St.

The Next Play with New Actors

While the performcrsar are going through
with the last act of the Kansas drama,
and are winning rounds of applause for
the admirable manner in which the fc-
tion is represented, we beg leave respect,
full to inquire, in behalf Of a largo class
of people who regard the whole affair as
the merest clap-trap in the world, what
play is next to be put upon the stage?
Who is to be employed to prepare the
scenes Tor the introduction of that old
popular farce entitled Protection; or,
Robbing Peter to Pay Paul?" Nearly
all the old worn-out actors who figured
on the boards during the last generation
are pricking up their ears and rubbing
up their memories in delightful antici-
patton of seeing the revival of this play.
We trust they will not be disappointed.
There is a large class in the world who
would be very unhappy if they should be
deprived of the privilege of beholding
now and then the old, decayed, and
mouldy idols at which they worshiped III
their younger days. What urchin that
has read the thrilling story of "Thaddeus
of Warsaw" does not recur to its ghosts
and apparitions, its loves and its sacrif-
ces, as the very highest strokes ofgenius
and humanity? Nothing then could be
more opportune than ii . prospect, now
imminent, that We arc to have arestcra-
ton of the old Bourbon tariff men,
They are all alive to their cherished
system of protection, and even inuocently
fatter themselves that the wing party
in all the glory and majesty Of its best
days, is also to be restored.
With the kindest feeling towards the
aged and the infrm, in politics and out
of politics, we are compelled to ask what
the old wing party would do, fostered
and sustained by the republican and
know nothing sentiment of the day
The 'whig party sustained by the abo-
litiouism of the New York Tribune, by
the abolitionism of John P. Hale, Chase,
Giddings, Wendell Phillips, and VIM.
Lloyd Garrison tho 'wbig party of
Mr.. Clay's leadership brought uuder
the fostering care of Fred Douglas and
Mr.. Fesseuden, Mr. Seward and Mr. Hor-
ace Greeley Wash. Union.

THE hSHhhND Union.

The Party that never has been Com
and tSat Y aiest
y The political fsg:euds who are hold.
ding their -revels over their partial tri.
umphs 10 a few of the States, must bear
IN mind that the Democratio Party has
been worse defeated, but has never yet
been conquered. That Party is as old
as the Constitution, and has survived all
the arts and wiles, intrigues and combi-
nations that it's enemies could array
against it. There are old men, whose
heads are now 'hlossoming for the grave
who gave their first vote for the Demo
cratic psrty-who have voted, annually,
the regular ticket Of the Democracy
ever since-and who have been the wit
nesses # the decline and fall Of as ma.
ny parties hostile to the Democracy as
there have been, during the same period,
Revolutions in Mexico.
But the old party is not dead yet,
and it isn't going to die to accommodate
it's pie-bald foes. It has a high and no.
BILE mission yet to perform, and it will
live to perform it. It is for the reason
that it is a party of positive principles
and ideas,cthat it has ever proved
E-ithfut to the Constitution, to the
Union, and to the sovereignty of the
States and the people-that it is a party
of stability and of wise and enlightened
progress lit is for these reasons that
the patriotic and well.informed YOUNG
MEN of the country enlist under its
standard, and identify themselves with
it. And why should they not? What
possible motive could generous and in.
tclligent young mau have for joining
tho sick and dying Republican party ?
"a party that is ever changing--that
rafies its principles and its name away
every few years-and whose only bond
that unites its discordant segments is ha-
tired of the Democratic party, and an in
tense love of the spoils of office? A
young man or an old man who would
marry into such a political family, must
either be insane CIR in danger of being
consumed by passion and prejudice.
