Lead me to the n ocls that is higher than I

PSALM Lxi. 2.
"Lcad mo TO tho Rock that is higher thanI l."
In it's shelter I'll hide whiic the storm passes by.
I'll yield like the aoweret that bends 20 the gale,
And bows without breaking when tempests assail;
Then rising anew when the storm ls o'cr past,
Adore him, who sonds both the calm and the blast
"Lesd me to the Rock that Il higher than l."
When the gsrc ofthe noon-tde is herco in the sky,
When faint from the "burden and heat the day"
Oh, lend me thy screen from the SIMS burning FAyi
within thy cool shadow my altar I'll raise,
And send up the incense ofprayer and ofprsise.
"Lead mo TO the Rock that Is higher thanI"
When my path through the desert is scorchng and dry
Ny spirit shall find her deep craving supplied
In the streams Of salvation that aow from thy side,
I'll bathe where thy waters refreshingly stray,
And then with rejoicing 60 forth my way.
"Iead me 60 the Rock that is higher than l."
When the night wind is chill, to thy covert I'll Ay:
Beneath Thy protection my couch while spread,
No damp Of the midnight shall fall my head;
Aud when the bright morning sheds light thro the skies
Ny grateful Thanksgiving to Thee shall arise.
Oh, draw me, kind Father, In faith to thy side;
In thy "seeret pavilion" tain would abide.
My Covert in danger, my Screen from the heat,
My spirits Refreshment, my Retreat,
Oh strong Rock ofAges, my frailty sustainl
Though mountains should crumbe thou still shalt remain

senator Iverson on southern Rights.

senator Iverson on Southern Rights.
Senator Iverson, Of Georgia, has been
making one of hispleasaut disunion speeches
at Griffin, Ga. The following passages from
asyuopss of the Hon. Senator'S speech,
which we fnd in the Columbus, Ga, Sun
give a sufficiently clear and comprehensive
idea Of the production
"The proud and euviable condition Of the
poor white man in the south, compared to
tho degraded white slave of the north is ow-
ing to the existence of African slavery iu
the south. If the question Of emancipating
the negroes was to-day submitted to the
people Of Georgia, nine out Of ten who own
no slaves would vote in the negative. Slav.

once an advocate Of the herosy Of Squatter
Sovereignty, but had repOnted aud recauted
the error. Subsequent investigation had
convinced him that the true theory u rcla-
ton to the territorial governments Of the
Union, is that it is both the power and duty
Of Congress to pass laws for the protection
Of Slavery, wherever it exists or may exist
upon the common soil.
"From what had been said let no one i'm.

ly when convinced it had failed of the great
objects of its creation. In n confederated
government of their own, the southern states
would enjoy resources of wealth, prosperity
and power unsurpassed by any nation on
earth. No neutrality laws would restrain
our adventurous sons. Our expanding pol.
icy would stretch far beyond present limits.
Central America would join her destiny to
ours, and Cuba, now withheld from US by
the voice of abolition enemies. With Re.

Little Ben.

No star could shine brighter than his little eyes
No sunbeams were sweeter than his pretty smile; !;
His voice was music, when onward It ass,
To lend its enchantment the hours TO beguile.
He was as tender bud changing to flower,
When roses are blushing in glorious June;
But we saw not the tempest beginning to lower,
To scatter the hopes we had cherished too soon.
The summer was passing and autumn drew nigh;
The waves of the cornfelds tinted with gold; /;
The winds in the valley swept on with sigh,
As II they were missioned sad truths to unfold.
While nature was yielding her treasures to man,
Our treasure was taken away from our side;
He lived while the roses their happy course ran
And when they were dying little Ben died.

THE TOMATO AS FooD.-Dr Bennett, a
professor of some celebrity, considers the
tomato an invaluable article of diet, and as
crbos to it very important medicinal prop
critics:
lst. That the tomato is one of the most
powerful aperients of the liver and other
organs; where calomel is indicated, it is
probably one of the most effective and
harmless remedial agents known in the pro-
fession. 3D. That a chemical extract will
be obtained from it that will supersede the
use of calomel in the cure of disease. Srd.
That he has successfully treated diarrhea
with this article alone. 4th. That when
used as an article of diet it is almost sover-
eigu for dyspepsia and indigestion. 9Th.
That it should be constantly used for daily
food; either cooked, raw, or in the form Of
cAtsup; it is the most healthy article now
10 use.

At the last accounts thirteen bodies had
been recovered from the ruins Of the train
which went down with the bridge near
Schagbtcokc, aud Il was hoped no others
were killed. The testimony before the
Coronor's inquest, given by the employees
Of the Northern Railroad Company. shows
that the bridge was notoriously rotten and
unsafe. Tho structure had been patched
up before, and on the very day Of the mur-
ders men had been at work making repairs.
The bridge was 60 feet span, and the small
beams Of which it was composed we're rot

It was noticed by the witnesses that the
bridge sagged down Of late with the pas

The Rounding Of the Roll.


BT oAHRLEB MAcKAY.
Hark how the furnace pants and roars;
Hark how the moulton metal pours,
As bursting from its iron doors,
Il glttora in the sun.
Now through the ready mould Il 1owS,
Seething and kissing as It goes,
And filling every crevice up,
As the red vintage fills the cup;
Hurruh the work is done
Unswathe-him now; take of each stay
That binds him to his couch Of clay,
Andlet him struggle into days
Let the chain and pulley run,
with yielding crank and STEADY ropo,
UntI he rise from rim to cope
In rounded beauty, ribbd In strength,
without aaw IN all lite length;
Hurrah the work is done
The clapper or his giant side
Shall ring no peal for blushlng bride,
For birth, or death, or new-year tide,
Or festival begun
A nations Joy alone shall bo
The signal for his revelry,
And for nations woes alone
His melancholy tongue shall moan;
Hurrah the work Is done
Should ioeman LIT naughty hand,
And dare invade us whore We stand,
Fast by the alters Of our land
Wen gather every onei
And he shall ring loud alarm
To call the multitude to arm;
From distant field and forest brown,
And teeming alleys of the town;
Hurrah the work Ia done
And as the solemn boom they hear,
Old men shall grasp the iron spear
LAidby to rust for many a year,
And to the struggle run;
Young men shall leave their tolls OF books,
Or turn to swords tj,,r pruning hooks;
Aud maids have reetest smiles for those
Who battle with their eountry's foes;
HurrAh the work is done
And when the cannon's iron throat
Shall bear the news to dells remote,
And trumpet blast resound the note,
That victory is won;
When down the wind the banner drops,
And bon-Gres blaze on mountain tops,
His sides shall glow with fierce delight,
And ring gaa pcals from morn till night;
Hurrah the work is done
But Of such scenes forbear to tell;
May never awake this bell
To sound the tocsin or the knel;
flushed be the alarum gun:
sheathed be the sword; and may his voice
But call the nations to rejoice
That war his tattered flag has furled,
And vanished from wiser world;
Hurrah the work is done!
still may he ring when struggles cease,
Still may ho ring for joys increase,
For progress In the arts Of peace,
And friendly trophies won
When rival nations join their hands;
Whom plenty crowns the happy lands;
when knowledge gives new blessings birth,
And freedom reigns DER all the earth;
Hurrah the work is done
