THE WANING MOON.
By WILLIAM c. BRYANT.

By WILLIAM c. BRYANT.
I've watched to late; the morn is near;
One look at Gods broad silent skyl
O, hopes and wishes, vainly dear,
How in your very strength We diel
Even while your glow is on the cheek,
And scarce the high pursuit begun,
The heart grows faint. the hand grows weak,
The task of life is left undone.
See where upon the the hoyizons brim,
Lies the silt cloud in glosmy bars;
The waning moon, all pale and dim,
Goes up amid the eternal stars.
Late. in flood of tender light
She fOated through the ethereal blue,
A softer sun, that shone all night
Upon the gathering beads of dew.
And still thou waneSt. pallid Hoonl
Tie encroaching shadow grows apaee;
Heavens everlasting watchers soon
Shall see thee blotted from thy place.
0. Nights dethroned and crownless queen!
Well may thy sad, expiring ray, ~
Be shed on those whose eyes nave seen
Hopes glorions visions fade away.
Shine thou for forms that once were bright.
For sageS in the minds eclipse,
For those whose words were spells of might.
But faiter now on stammering lips.
ndly dccaging beam there lies
Fnll many grave, on hill and plain,
Ut those who closed their dying eyes
In grief that they had lived in vain.
Another night. and thou among
The spheres OF heaven shall cease to shine,
Al! rayless in the glittcring throng
Whose lustre late was quenched in thine
IdsSs a new and tender light Il
fiOsi Oat thy dan kened orb shall beam,
And broaden till it shines AL night
On glistening dewand giimmering stream

a ROMANCE IN POLITICS.

One of Texas distinguished citizens,
name not given, who has figured largely
in public life, first as o lawyer, then as a
soldier in the Mexican and Indian wars,
and then as a leading politician, has the
following related Of him in the sketch of
his life, by the New Orleans Christian
Advocate: a.
He bad been put up by his party in
1857, to succeed Gen. Houston in the
U. S. Senate, but, feeling called to the
ministry and distrusting his own ability
to resist the temptation of Washington
life, was unwilling to accept the nomina-
ton. He laid the case before his wife,
leaving to her the choice between the u.
S. Senate and destruction to his morals,
and the pulpit and salvation: 3.
"Taking the papers and letters from
all parts of the State, giving him assu-
rance Of election, he went to lis wife and
said L can go to the United States Sen
ate Here are the evidences. If you
wish it l viii go. But if | 90, he'll is my
doom. / shall die drunkard as certain
as I go to Washington, I can yet escape.
If l pass this point, | never can. I can
enter the ministry, which l ought to have
done long ago, and save myself from a
drunkard's grave, and my soul from hell.
Butyo shall decide, His poor wife, UNI
willing to relinquish the glittering prize
in view, replied, weeping, that she could
not see why he could not be a great man
and Christian too. But after prayerfal
reflection, she could not incur the fearful
responsibility Of deciding against his con-
science, and told him to go into the itine-
rancy, and she would 90 with him. TO
the. establishment of the whole State,
letter from him appeared in the papers,
just before the meeting f,the Legislature,
declining the office, and announcing, his
retirement from political life. The next
thing that was heard of him was that he
was preaching.
