The Bcnutiful snow.

This beautiful little poem was published in the JorGNi
eary two years ago but at the request of several read
we again give at this very appropriate season
Oh the snow, the beautiful SNOW,
Filling the sky and the earth below
Over the house-taps, over the street,
Over the heads of the people YOU mceti
Flirting,
Skinmiug along,
Beautiful snow It can do nothing wrong.
FLYING to kiss a fair hdy's cheek
Cljnging to lips IN frolicsome freak,
Beautiful snow, from heaven above
Pure as an angel and Hcke as love
oh the snow, the beautiful snow
How the dakes gather and laugh as they go
Whiring about in It's m0dlenng fun,
1t plays in It's glee with e1ory one.
laughing
llurryng by,
It lights up the face and Il sparkies the eye;
And even the dogs, with bark and bound
Snap at the crystals that eddy around
The town is alive and It's heart in glow,
To welcome the coming of beautiful snow.
How the wild crowd goes swaylng along,
Ilailing each other with humor and song
How the gay sedges like metcors flash by,
Bright for moment, then lost to the eye;
Swinging
nashmg they go
Over the crust of the beautiful snow
Snow SO pure when Il falls from the sky.
! To be trampled in mud by the crowd rushing by
To be trampled and tracked by tue thousands Of fcc
I'LL 1t blends with hlth IN thc hofflpN street.
Once was pure as the snow--hut fell
Fol like the now.tlakes from lpAyen-to hell :
Fell, to be tampled as dlth OF the srcct
Fell, to be seoned, to be spit ON and beat.
Pleading,
Cursing,
nrelling 10 die,
Selling my soul to whoever would buy,
Dealing In shame for mOrac of bread,
Hating the living and fearing the dead.
Mcrcful God have fallen so luwY
And yet was once like the beautiful SNOW
Once was fair rs tho beautiful snow,
With an eve like It's crystals henrt like It's glow
Once was loved for my unoccnt grace
Flattcred and sought for the charm of my face

God and myself have lost by my fall.
The veriest wretch that goes shiNcring by

For of all that is ON or about me know
There is nothing that's pure but the beautiful snow.
How strange Il shouid be that this beautiful snow
Should fall ON a simmer with no where TO go
How strang, it would be, when the night comesagnin,

MODERN IsCovERIEs.-Bayard Taylor, the
celebrated traveller, thus sums up the results of
modern discovery: Within the last twenty
five years. all the principal features of the geogra
phy of our own vast interior regions have been
accurately determined the great fields of Central
Asia have been traversed in various directions
from Bokhara and the OXus to the Chinese wall ;
the halfknown river systems of South America
have been explored and surveyed the icy
continent around the Southern Pole has been
discovered the Northwestern passage, the gniS
fafuts of nearly two centuries, is at last found
the Dead sea is stripped of its fabulous terrors ;
the course of the Niger is no longer u myth, and
the sublime secret of the Nile is almost wrested
from his keeping the Mountains of the Moon
sought for through two thousand years have
been beheld by Caucasian eye; an English
steamer has ascended the Chadda to the frontiers
of the great kingdom of Bornou ; Lcchardt and
Stuart have penetrated the wilderness of Austria
liza the Russians have descended from lrkoutsk
to the mouth of the Amoor the antiquatcd walls
of Chinese prejudice have been cracked and are
fast tumbling down, and the canvas screens
which surround Japan have been cut by the sharp
edge of American enterprise. Such are the
principal results of modern exploration. What
quarter of century, since the form of the EARTH
and the boundaries of its land and water were
&nown, can exhibit such IL list of achevementsYN

Wheat Again.

Mr.. EDITOR ii noticed in the
Standard Of Dec. 30th, that one of my
brother farmers" claims he has "fairly
beaten me on wheat; how has he done
ii does he tell US how much wheat he
has raised per acre? no, he is very care
full not TO let US know the number Of
acres he had; but he says "he raised
ITO l-2 bushels from six bushels of seed"
He seems to be very anxious to hear
from the wheat growers" in the county.
respecting the quantity of seed sown to
the acre, but is not willing to give them
his experience in the case; perhaps he
is aware, if he does, it will "spoil the
story"
Now | take it if SOW half bushel
of seed more to the acre than be does,
and raise twice the number of bushels to
the acre, am not fairly beaten" He
makes me think of the boy that jumped
on wager. Two boys went out to jump !;
one says to the other you are fairly beat
en-" " How so?" says the other, 81 have
jumped almost twice as far as YOU" 81
know that" says he, shut, you see
jumped farther in proportion to the effort
made, than you did" If the quantity
o! seed sown is to be made the criterion,
l would advise him to use his influence
to have the agricultural society to which
he belongs, offer their prizes in accord
ance with that rule q certain sum, to
the one that raises the most wheat, from
one kernel, or one bushel of seed, and so
OF corn, oats, potatoes, and so on. He
seems to think have "lusty" acres.
suppose he means full-sized acres GER
tainly do; l measured the land, and /
have $50 square rods in an acre. do
not know how he would have it. He
also thinks l have better faculty of
making wheat grow thick than he has.
My experience teaches me, that if. the
season is not too dry, wheat viii be as
thick with one and half bushels of seed
per acre, as it would be with two bushels,
and perhaps there will be as much wheat,
but it will not be as forward, and will not
ripeD so even TO sow thin, as it would to
SOW thicker. 1t will be recollected that II
was very dry last spring; it was for this
reason l sowed larger quantity of seed

Boy Losr.-Three weeks ago last
Monday, George Parker, lad about
twelve years old, left the residence of his
father Samuel W. Parker at the Lake
Bridge, and has not been seen or heard
from since that day, though dilligent
search has been made through all that
region of country. He was of feeble
mind, and accustomed to wandering, and
it is supposed that he either must have
persisted with the cold or been drowned
in the lake or some river.

Friday and Saturday of last week
Owing to circumstances, there was not
SO large number in attendance. as was
to be desired, or but for the circumstap-
ces adverted to would have been realised.
The Society was recognized by the ap-
pointment of officers. New members
were added to the roll. Lectures abound
ing in valuable thought and marked by
many excellences were delivered, first by
Rev. A. R. Gray, of Coventry, on pa
rental responsibility" and second by NJ.

Interesting discussions followed the de-
livery of these lectures. A prominent

honored veteran and pioneer in the cause
of Education the Rev. S. R. Hall of
Bloomington, also, by the Rev. P. H.
White of Coventry, re Benton, ESQ. of

meeting of the Association is appointed
to be holden at Derby, four weeks from
the date of late meeting. The New Exc

Musical Convention.

The semi-annual meeting Of the Or
leans County Musical Society will be
held, Providence permitting, in Glover,
commencing on Tuesday, Feb. 9TH, at 10
O'Clock, A. NJ. The executive commit
tee have secured the services of Mr.. E..
H. Frost, of Boston, as director. Con-
sidering the abilities and reputation of
Mr.. Frost as teacher Of vocal music,
the committee deem it unnecessary TO
urge the attendance Of the musical people
of the county.
The society have concluded to make q
charge of twenty-five cents for each
ticket, which will admit the bearer TO all
the exercises, lectures, &c, Of the con-
vention and to the concert at the close of
the same. The semi-annual meeting
promises to be one of rare interest, as ar
rangements are being made to secure a
large attendance of the musical portion
of community. In view of the prospect
of a large convention, it will not be ex-
pected that the citizens of Glover will
extend their inequalities outside of those
attending for musical advancement, or
such others as necessarily are in attend
ance. In fact, the society have long been
of the opinion, that those who attend their
meetings for the sole purpose of having a
holiday, should not trespass on the gen
erosity of the people.
The convention will use the Jubilee"
and all are requested to bring their
copies. Mr.. Frost will supply the con-
vention with Glee Books and such other
works as he deems suitable. The com
mittee would further say, that singers
and musicians of rare abilities are ex-
pected. Clergymen are especially in
| vited.

We have only one comment to make
on this case. This man IL formed us that,
in common with the great mass OF Irish.
men IN this country, he had always voted
with the democratic party. He had long
known in Philadelphia tina, the Demo.
cratic party upheld slavery, but he never
learned, until he went to South Carolina,
that slavery crushed the white laborer,
and that the Democratic party, in up
holding slavery, is therefore the enemy
OF Irishmen, who are nation of laborera.
In the Southern States, work is looked
upon as dishonorable, and workmen as
degraded. This is what an Irish stone.
cutter learned while cutting stone in South
Carolina. We hope the lesson Of bis ex-
perience may reach tho ears Of his coun.

the south. and 10 them he does not rec
ommend violence, but rotinq-lawful DO
litical action.
The very uneasiness which these south
ern gentlemen manifest on account OF this
book is a confession of the weakness of
their cause, and of the dangers to which
their institution is exposed. There can
be no doubt but the interests and condi-
ton of the non-sIaveholding whites at The
south is seriously affected by the exist
ence of slavery, and if slavery is ever
abolished there it must be done by them.
By this accursed system labor is rendered
disreputable, and the industry and enter
prise of the south is paralysed. If the
poor whites of North Carolina possessed
the wealth, intelligence, and enterprise of
the New England farmers and mechan-
les, no doubt but slavery would somehow
be banished from the state. But how
can such class be created whilst slavery
exists, or how can the ignorant and de-
graded whites at the south be combined
into an efficient political party against the
Shareholders, the most wealthy and intel
ligent class in that country, and perhaps
the most expert politicians in the world ?
In short, how are ignorance, shiftlessness,
and poverty, to cope with intelligence and
wealth?
