BY II. b. NORTON,

Midnight, tempest, blsckness,
BiIier Storm winds blow
Alone on the Mount Of Vision,
With the dead old Earth below
A cry OF pain and sorrow,
Anguish and despair,
Rises amid the darkness,
Rolls on the winiry air.
The wall of the weary nations,
Trodden and crushed with wrong;
The cry OF the weak and helpless,
rraInpled beneath the strong;
The reekimg plain of carnage;
Famine's specires pale;
And the presidential plague breath,
Tanning the midnight gale.
Hope is fading, dying;
Love has passed away;
Gone are the golden giories
OF the early Eden-dsy. 49,
Strown with the wrecks of ages,
Burdened with weary woe,
Dead hes the old Earth mother,
Mid The shadows low
God OF the dim earth darkness,
God OF the heavenly day,
Shall this rayless midnight
Ever pass away?
Still shall the unchecked tempest
Rage across the plain!
Shall these dry bones never
Spring to life again?
Silence, weak complainant!
Moaning mortal, hear.
Through thy spirits chambers,
Full, distinct, and clear,
From the outer blackness
Thrilling murmurs ring
"Thus saith the God of Thunders.
Thus saith the Tempesi's King:
"Glorious resurrecuons
Wait the coming days;
Life from Death shall blossom,
Light through Darkness blaze!
Over fields of carnage
Olive-wreaihs shalt bloom;
Heoven-beaming garlands
Smile above the tomb!
"Come from the southern spice-vales,
Come from the northern MANI
Whispering winds of heaven,
Breathe OIL these mouldering slain.
Roar from the eastern mountains,
Rush from the western plain;
Blow in fragrant sweetness,
That the dead may live again.
"And forth from these charnel. caverns,
And wrecks of foul decay,
Shall spring giant army,
Full girded for the fray.
Aud backward bear the tempest,
And rend the Spoilers rod,
Till the Eden-ea rth shall blossom

everybody says that the Spring, so far, is

credit they want. Farmers are invited to
trade, and pay in the fall.

Massachusetts,, in March, increased in
