Leave me, dear ones, to my slumber,
Daylight's faded glow is gone;
In the red light of the morning
must rise and journey on.
l am weary, oh, how weary!
And would rest d little while;
Let your kind looks be my blessing,
And your last "Good night" smile.
We have journeyed up together,
Through the pleasant daytime flown
Now my feet have pressed life's summit
And my pathway lies alone.
And, my dear ones, do not call me,
Should you haply be awake,
When across the eastern hill-tops
Presently the day shall break.
For, while yet the stars are lying
In the gray lap of the dawn,
On my long and solemn journey
shall be awake and gone,
Far from mortal pain and sorrow,
And from PASSIONS stormy swell,
Knocks at the golden gateway
of the eternal citadel.
There fore, dear ones, let me slumber--
Faded is the day and gone;
And with mornings early splendor,
must rise and journey on.

PETER HIS OWN JUDGE.-The fol-

occurred in school in that city:
a lac, whom We will call Per,

an old note (Which had been used
for the same purpose on former oc.

and substituting the present. The
master Immediately detected the
trick, and in the presence Of the
school impressed upon him the dan.
gerons character of such frauds.
He then told Peter that he would
leave him in the aisle for half an
hour to reflect upon this, and. be
his own judge as to the punishment
due the of1ense. The half hour ha-
wing elapsed, the whole school was
called to the "third position"-the
attitude Of attention--and the teach
er said, "Now, sir, you yourself are
the Judge in this case; what is your

in a whining voice, the following

WHOLE NO. AL.
RAILROADS.

line. RAILROAD Ileeord, puOiIShed al
Cincinnati, furnishes some interesting
facts which, though having immedi.
!, ate and exclusive reference to the
! railroads Of the Northwestern States,
most strikingly Illustrate the value
and Importance of railroads generally.
1t appears that in the six States
of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan.
Wisconsin and Iowa, there were in
1852, 2,67S miles of railroad-tbat
since that year there have been 81
GAG miles more completed--being
an average of l,100 miles for esch
of the six years since 1852.
The average cost per mile has
been S35, ,006, and the average an
nual expenditures s3S,OO0,OOO-suf-
fcient to employ at the average of
wages, one hundred Thousand able
bodied men.
This expenditure has had double
effect on the Improvement of the
country first, 10 the employment Of
so many secondly, by furnish
ing facilities for carrying off the pro-
duce Of The country This last ef-
fort. says the very able editor of the
Record, L. D. Mansfield, no one can
Sufficiently estimate. l. bas reduced
by one-hslf the cost Of transporta-
ton, and given a positive value in
market TO every bushel of grain oD
the remOteSt farm. The effect Of
this is seen in the increased value
OF improved farms in producing
States--in Ohio, for example, the
value Of the property in which has
increased S507 7,5Sl,911 in 1862.
to S970,Oa0,0O0 ir 185S-beiug an
aggregate increase of S353,OO0,0O0
in six years, and an average annual
increase of S5S,0O0,0OO.
While the annual increase in the
value of property In Ohio has been
S5S,000,O00, the annual expendi-.
lures on railroads in the 50 me State
have amounted to sIO,000,O0O per
annum; so that the improved value Of
the State property has been six times
greater than the whole amount ex-
pended in railroads.
The increased value of property,
in the Northwestern States in the
last six years. has been about one.
Thousand millions of dollars, while,
the expenditure on railroads in those
States, within that time, has been
two hundred millions.
Whatever effect on that increase
of property has been Produced by
railroads, it is certain that the North.
western States could afford TO give
the entire cost of all their roads, and.
yet have left near eight hundred mil
lions Of increased value Of property.
Such results have not been pro-.
duced By any species of social ms,
chinery since the world began.
Beyond all question. similar results,
must follow the completion of the.
railroads now being constructed in.
the South, and in the increased value
of property they will repay many.
fold the amount expended in their
construction.

The First Congress.

The First Congress.
Mr.. Everett, in the last of his
Mouct Vernon papers for the New
York Ledger, gives an interesting
review Of the organization of the
Federal Government under the Con-
siitutiOn. When the 4th of March,
l7S9-the appointed day which was
TO give an organized constitutional
existence to new conf derate re-
Iubllc, about to enter on an equal
footing into the family Of nations
arrived, there had assembled at the
seat of the new government, at New
York, Of the Senate, only the two
Senator'S from New Hampshire, Con-
neoticu', and Pennsylvania, and one
each from Massachusetts and Geor-
gia. These eight punctual men met
and adjourned from day to day for
week without any addition to their
number. On the 11th Of March
they "agreed that circular should
be written TO the absent members re-
guessing tleir immediate attend
ance'' Another week passed With
the same result, aHd On the 18th Of
March it was agreed that "another
circular should be written to eight of
the nearest absent members, particu-
larry desiring their attendance, in
order to form a quorum. On the
18th of March Senator from New
jersey cropped in; on the 21st
Senator iIOm Delaware made his sp-
pearancp, and then for another NOR
tai week no increase of the number of
Senators In Attendance took place.
The other Senator from New Jer-
sey came in on the 2Sth. No one
else made bis appearance till the 9th
fof April, when Orchard Henry Lee,
oc Virginia, appearing, took bis seat
and formed quorum of the whole
Senators Of the United States" viz:
twelve in number, the States which
had as yet ratified the constitution
being but eleven. Such WAS the
tardy organization Of the Senate,
which at first sat with closed doors as
well for legislative as executive bus
iness.
Of the Representatives, of whom
the whole number from the eleven
ratifying States was but ffty.nine,
thirteen only assembledat New York
on the 4th of March, viz: Four from
Massachusetts, three from Connecti-

from Virginia, and one from South

more arrived from New Hampshire,
one from Massachusetts,. two from
Connecticut, and one from Pennsy[
vania No one else came in till the
14th of March, the house adjourning
from day TO day for want of quo
rum. On that day JAS. Madison, jr,
and two other members from Vir-
ginia came in, but there was sill no
quorum. On the 18th and 10th of
March two more members from Vir-
ginia appeared, and no further arri-
walls took place till the Esd. On
that day two members came in from
New jersey, and on the 25th anoth-
er from Virginia. No additional
members arrived Till the 30th OF
March, when another member from
Maryland and Virginia sppeared--
On the 1st of April another member

are gathered before they unfold, all

moved, and the rest, without being
separated from the stalk, is reduced
to thread. After exposure to the
sun for a day or two, the straw is
tied up into a knot, and immersed

JOHN NETHERLAND.

i Ihe following brief sketch of the
character OF the Opposition candidate
for Governor Of Tennessee, We take
from the Paris Sentinel:
| Our contemporary says: Mr.. Meth
erland was always the friend Of the
rich and the enemy of the poor.
He also voted against exempting
from execution, in the hands of a
farmer, one pillow, one hoe, one iron
wedge. one set Of gear and horse. He
voted against exemptipg, in the
hands of a mechanic. one set of
working tools> The Col. has no heart
for the poor farmer or mechanic, or
their wives and children. His
1sympathies, bis votes, show, be bus
ever been for the rich banker, the.
shaver and the wealthy nsbob. who
rolls over the stony streets in bis
thousand dollar carriage, which Col.
Netherland votes shall not be taxed.
In his first speech at Nashville, he
took ground against the currency
resolutions in tie Democratic plat
form, and now be is crawling upon
lit, like turtle on log. lie was
first a Democrat, opposed to a United
States Bank, Protective Tariff ard
Improvement by the General Gov
Ierument; then turned Wing, in ia
vor OF a [ Cnited States Bank, protec-
tive Tariff and Internal Improve
ments, &c. He slipped the Wing
halter, became regular, oathbound
Know Nothing, opposed TO both
Whiggery and Democracy. and in
favor of prescribing the Irish Catho-
lies, and for nobody but Know Moth
ings for Office. Falling to get all the
offices in 1886, he slips The Koow-
Nothing halter, turns American and
Whig," a sort Of mixing Of Cincinna-
ii bus,-skull with little good old
Bourbon to give it the appearance
of decency. But failing to palm
The adulterated stuff off upon the
people, in 1856, changes back again
to Whiggery, with streng Know
Nothing-Republican sympathies.--
Failing again TO get the people to
swallow the dose prepared for them
in 1851, the Col. AID bis followers
have stripped off all their old gar
ments, for new sort Of Opposition"
goods, with Black Republican w@p
and Know-No!bipg filling. made
