Fold up your leaves, on, flowers!
Let sleep lie softly your dew-wet eyes,
FfeSsure your moisture for the morning skies,
For night hath come.
Rest on the bou Ih. ye birds,
The long day hath been full of glad employ,
Cease from your song, your resilessnOss and Joy'
For night here.
Freed from the heavy yoke,
Ye wearied beasts, your evening rest is NIGH
GodlIke, the darkness falleth from on high,
And it is night.
So even to thee, oh, man,
There cometh, blessing full, this time Of peace,
Let care and toll, let thought and action cease,
Welcome the night
Yet another rest remains,
These passing days and nights swift bring it near,
When shall the endless rest for US be near,
The night Of death!

DO SOLEMNLY PROMISE AND SWEAR, that

scribes no man on account of his religion or

he is bound by solemn oath, made in the
presence of Almighty God, to prosecute for.
eigners and Catholics to the "bitter end"
Has the would Senator no regard for his
oath ? Does he think more of Office obtained
by disreputable means than he does of honor?
No intelligent foreignborn citizen will sup
port such man for any office. His pro.
testing that he proscribes no man on &C
count of his religion or place of nativity"
is plainly piece of low hypocrisy by
means of which he hopes to foist himself
into Office, and for which he deserves the
contempt of every good citizen.
