THE EVENING HORN.

The farmer at his plow doth stop,
His limbs are weak and worn:
He fain would cease ms iUIlSome work
But waits the Evening Horn.
Hark, from afar, a mellow sound,
On zephyr's wings It's borne
at j., II Is" the farmer cries,
III i the Evening Horn"
With joyful haste he now leaves Of
HIS work till morrowmurn,
And next We see him on his road
He heard the Evening Horn.
The bleaiing sheep now wend their way
Along the hedge Of thorn,
And, BY the Ginning Of each bell,
Answer the Evening Horn.
The grazing cattle lift their heads,
And now their pasture scorn;
FaSl 10 the farmhouse next they go
They heard the Evening Horn.

The Baltimore Patriot, an old and in
f1ential journal, Of American proclivi-
ties, declares that it has no sympathy
with the extreme view of the slavery
question, taken By the Opposition in Viz
ginia and Kentucky. The opponents Of
the Democracy in those States will hnd,
before the campaign closes, that they
have forfeited the respect of their politi-
cal friends in sister States as well as the
confidence Of the people whose votes they
are endeayoring TO secure. The self.
styled democrats are sufficiently ultra on
the slavery issues to suit the mos, fas,id-
ious, ard hence it is worse than folly to
attempt to deprive them of ,ha; advan-
tage. How much nobler their mission
would have been had the opposition of
Kentucky and Virginia endeav0rsd to
enlishten public opinion in their respec-
tive localities, instead of pandsring to ig.
norant prejudice.,

the step conceded on all hands to be deci-
sive Of peace or war, is the Austrian ar

Mount ST. Go;hard, in Switzerland, foE-
ing sOuihwardly through Lake Maggiors,
and finally emPtyiDg into the Po near Pa
via During the latter part of its course
it forms the boundary line between Lon-
hardy and Piedmont, and hence its i'm
por,ancc in military point of view 1t
is easily crossed and not strongly defen-
ded, is remote from all the centres Of Sar-

is naturally chosen as the most feasible
entrance for the Austrian troops into Sar-

THE THUNDER STORM.

Frank, boy from the city, had been
picking raspberries in the woods. As be
was on bis way home, violent storm
arose; i; began to rain, to tighten, and
to thunder, fearfully. Frank was very
much frightened, and crept into hole, in
an old oak tree, not far from the roadside.
He did not know that lightning is very
apt to strike a hollow tree. But, all at
once, be heard a voice that called, "Frank.
Frank come, oh come out quickly =.
Frank jumped Instantly from the tree,
but scarcely had his feet touched the
ground when the lightning struck the
tree, and the thunder crashed frightfully.
The ground quaked beneath the terrified
boy, and i. seemed as if be was standing
in the midst of fire. Bu, be was not hurt
at all, and he exclaimed with raised
hands, "That voice came from heaven
Thou, . dear Lord, hast saved me p
But once more the voice was heard
Frank Frank do you no, hear me 2"
He looked around him, and discovered
peasant woman who was calling. Frank
ran towards her, and said, "Here l am,
wha, do you want Of me?" The woman
replied, 81 did not mean you, but my
own little Frank be was watching the
geese, yonder by the brook, and mus.
have hidden himself somewhere from the
storm. l came to take him home. See p.
there be comes at last, out from the bush
es." Frank, the boy from the city, rela-
ted how be had taken her voice for . voice
from heaven. Then the peasant folded
her hands devoutly, ard said, ooh I. my
child, do not thank God any the less that
the voice came from the mouth of the
poor peasau, woman. 1t was He who
willed that l should call your name, al
though l knew nothing about you"
"Yes, yes" said Frank, "GOd served
himself of your voice, but my escape, nsv-
ortheless, came iIuH nea'So'
Always remember, dear reader that
your safety depends not on accident or
chance, but it proceeds directly from your
Heavenly Father, and that not sparrow
falls to the ground without his notice.

bosoms Of those around US! We might

went to teaming, or into a tavern, learned
to smoke, or chew tobacco, drink liquor,
&c. In the course Of his remarks on the
occasion, the Judge said "Before SEN
fencing these bays | have few word. to
say to the men Of Cha;auqus county, the

nearly all other fish 4; after which, both
male aud female become lean, weak, and
unwholesome eating, and if examined
closely, will be found covered with spe-
cies of clove-shaped insect, which appear
to suck their substance from them. They
continue until warm weather, when they
rub the insects off Oh the gravel, and i'm
mediatsly grow strong. The female is

BY her small head ard deep body. Fish
are always in season when their heads are
SO small as to be disproportioned to the
size of their body. The trout is less oily
and rich than the salmon the female is
much brighter and more beautiful than
the male, they swim rapidly, and often
leap like salmon, to great height, when
