Mr.. SUMNER closed recent speech as
follows:
Freedom, which is the breath Of God,
is great leveller; but levels upwards.-
Slavery, which is the breath of Satan, is
also great leveler; but it levels down
wands, carrying with it master as we'll
rs slave. Choose We between them; and
remember that your first duty is to stand
up straight and not bend before absurd
threats whether uttered at the South or
repeated here in Massachusetts. Let
people cry 'disunion.' We know WAT:
the cry means, and we answer back;
The Union shall be preserved and
made more precious by its conservation to

The Two Streams

Behold von rocky wall
That, down its sloping sides,
Pours the swift rain drops, blending as g,
fall,
In rushing river -tidee
Yon stream, whose sources rIs-
Turned by n pebbles edge
Is Athabasca, rolling toward the aun.
Through the cleft mountain ledge.
The slender rill Lad strayed.
But for the slanting stone,
To evenings ocean. with the tangled brai
Offoam-fiecked Oregon.
So from the heights of viii,
LIES parting stream descends;
And as each moment turns, the slender ri f.
The widening torrent, bends.
From the same cradles side
From the same mothers knee
One to long darkness and The frozen tide
One to the Peaceful Sea!

DIR. HOLMES, in his story now pub
fishing in the AAantic Monthly, very
finely characterixes marriage as that
delicious process of the tuning of two
souls to each other, string by string, not
without little halfpleasing discords now
and then, when some chord in one or the
other proves to be over-strained or over
taxed, but always approaching nearer 70
harmony, until they become at last as
two instruments with single voice.

a Song for Republicans on the Eve of
Election.
By j. G.. WHITTIER.


Oar mild. sweet day
Of Indian Summer fades too soon;
But tenderly,
Above the sea
Hangs. white and calm, the Hunters moon.
In its pale fire,
The village spire
Shows like the zodiacs spectral lance;
The painted walls,
Whereon it falls,
TraAsfgured, stand in marble trance
Der fallen leaves
The west wind grieves
Yet comes the seed time round again
And morn shall see
The State sown free
With baleftlt ares or healthful grain.
Along the street
The shadows meet
OF destiny, whose hands conceal
The moulds of fate
That shape the State,
And make or mar the common veal.
Hark through the crowd
The laugh runs loud,
Beneath the sad rebuking moon.
Ged save the land,
A careless hand
May shake or swerye ere morrows noon!
Nojest is this
One cast amiss
May blast the hope of freedoms year.
Oh, take me where
Are hearts of prayer,
And foreheads bent in reverent fear
Not lightly fall,
Beyond recall,
The written scrolls breath can float
The browning fact
The kingliest act,
OfFreedom is the freemans vote.
For pearls that gem
A diadem,
The diver in the deep sea dives
There al right
We boast tonight.
Is ours through costlicrSacrifice.
The blood of Eane
His prison pain,
Who traced the path the pilgrim trod
And hers whose faith
Drew strength from death,
And prayed her Russell up to God,
Our hearts grow cold,
We lightly hold
The right which brave men died to gain
The stake, tie cord,
The axe, the sword,
Grim nurses at its birth ofpain.
Your shadows rend,
And DER US bend
Oh, martyrs, with your crowns and palms /
Breathe through these throngs,
Your battle songs
Your scaffold prayers and dungeon psalms |.
Look from the sky,
Like Gods great eye.
Thou solemn moon, with searching beam.
Till i'll the sight
Ofthy pure light
Our mean self-seeking meancr seem.
Shame from our hearts
Unworthy arts,
The fraud designed, the purpose dark
And smite away
The hands we lay
Profanely on the sacred ark.
To party claims,
And pr ivate aims,
Reveal the august face Of Truth,
70 which are given,
The age of Heaven
The beauty Of immortal youth.
So shall our voice
OF sovereign choice,
Swell the deep bass of duty done.
And strike the key
OF times to--be,
When God and man shall speak as one !
