BEAUTIFUL

Beautiful water sparkling, clear,
yelling up through the golden sand
Bub6ling and boiling, there and here,
Then hasting away DER the pebbly strand.
The sight Of thee to US is dear,
Beautiful @ater sparkling, clear.
Beautiful water fresh and cold,
Soothing draught for porched lips,
When in The sandy desert old
The traveller sees thee, and quickly dips
His pitcher and drinketh manifold,
Beautiful water fresh and cold.
Beautiful water it comes from above,
1t %swectens the earth to fertileness,
Brightens the plain, and Pushes the grove,
With promise of autumnal bliss;
A pledge thou art Of our Fathers love,
Beautiful water ! which comes from above,
Beautiful water ! Emblem meet,
OF the grace which vometh down from HeavA-
when to the heart speaks the pardon 81 90,
Skinner, thy faults are all for given,
And we humbly kuecl at Jesus, feet.
Rejoicing ths Water of Life to meet.

MAELINESS.

Rev. Theodore Parker conceived the true idea
Of mauliness when he wrote: 'The purpose Of
life is TO form { manly character; to get the best
Development Of body and spirit-of mind, con-
science, heart and soul. This is the end; all else
is the means. Accordingly, that is not the most
successful life in which a man gets the most pleas
ure, tho most money or ease, the moss power OF
place, honor or fame; but that in which a man eetc
the most manhood, performs the greatest amount
of human duty, enjoys the greatest amount Of hu
man right. and acquires the greatest amount u
manly character. 1t is of no Importance whether
he wins this by wearing a hood upon his shout
ders, or a crown upon his head, 1t is the charac
ter and not the crown, l value. The crown per
ishes with the heal that wore it; but the charac

and it is of no consequence whether that immorta

CHBERFULNEss.

Nothing upon the earth forever grieves,
No bird forever sad and songless livesl
Even tie poor small worm,
Puts oa. before he dies, his glorious form,
And, for a little space,
Chases the sunbeams ronnl the mountains face
The rose that Las been rufled by the storm
Droops not Tor aye her leaves,
After the rain,
She lifts her fearful head, radiant again.
Yea not forever bow the autumn sheaves-
Though Weighed from ablge,
As hearts are with their love,
With all the riches that the heaven gives;
Sometimes, on sunny days,
A gentle wind will raise
Their golden ears, ripe for the garner's caves.
The chilly FROST before the warm sun yields.
When the cloud shadows hang above the fields,
They linger not
look once again-sunlight is on the spot!

SPEAK NO ILL.

Nay. speak no i'll! KINDLY word
Can never leave a sting behind;
And, oh to breath each tale we've heard
Is far beneath a noble mind.
Fell oft a better seed is sown
By choosing thus the kinder plan;
For if but little good be known,
Still let US speak the best we can.
Give US tho heart that fain would hide,
Would fain another's faults effaoe;
How can it please cen human pride
To prove humanity but base?
No let US reach a higher mood,
A noble sentiment of man;
Be earnest in the search of good,
And speak of all the best We can.
Then speak no i'll, but %leniont be
To others fAilings as your own;
If you're the FIRST a fault to see,
Be not the first TO make it known.
For life is but a passing day,
No lip can tell how brief its span;
Then, oh the little time we stay,
Let's speak Of oil the best we can.

PURSE PRIDE.-It is to be lamented that the ma
tional character of the English is pride, and the
meanest Of all ~pride-purse pride. Even O poor
Lord is ~despised; and to increase his fortune a ne
c~essitouH peer will condescend to marry into a rich
citizens family. An overweeuiug affection for
money, an idolatrous worship of gain, have abso-
lntely confoupded the general intellect, and warp
ed the judgement Of many to that excess, that in
estimating men or things, they refer always to
What is he WORTH" or What will he fetch2"-
Were we to point out a person as he passes and
say, There goes q good man-cne who has not a
vice." he would scarcely be noticed, but exclaim,
THAT man is worth $500, 000," and he will be
stared at till out Of sight. This sordid habit of
thinking was finely hit of by a keen fellow of a
neighboring nation, who had carried on business
in London and failed. Sitting ia a coffee house one
day where a few wealthy citizens were discussing
some money concerns, and observing him very
attentive, one person turned aside to him and said,
What's your opinion, Sir, Of the matter?"-
"S'blOOd, Sir!' returned he, peevishly, what op-
inion can a man have in this country who has not q
guinea in his pocket" This makes good what
Mr.. Burk says;-''That a merchant has no faith
but in his banker; his ledger is his Bible, the ex-
change is his church, the desk is his altar; and his
money his god"

A ROMANCE OF AMERICAN HISTORY,
Y A DISTINGUISHED AUTH.

BY A DISTINGUISHED AUTHOR.
The romantic events on which this beautiful
story is founded occurred in the troubled times Of
1882. Immediately before the close of the Revo.
lutionary War. and the recognition OF American
Independenee-a time when strange events bronght
out strong character, and mighty trials a corres'
ponding heroism. The most romantic %imagina-
ton never invented fiction more exciting than the
historical passage of these times (strange to soy;
until now unappro priated by the novelist.) Manly
heroism aud womauly devotion are wrought to the
highest degree, through a chain of events not less
exciting than strange-not less strange than
true.

apostle Of Popular Sovereignty, in the Senate
OF the United States on the 10th day of May

Under it the people Of New Mexico have in
troduced and protected Slavery in the whole Of
that Territory
Under it a tract Of free territory five times as
large AS the State of New York has been con.
verted into siars territory
Under it Slavery has been extended from the
Rio Grande TO the Gulf Of California
Under il Slavery has gone as far North as 81

Eg- A few days since the movement
Of wheat TO this point was very active,
and our streets were filled with teams
The immense receipts at Chicago, equal
ling 10000 bushels daily, caused a very
material decline in price, and our buyers
could pay but IS TO 80 cents. Farmers
will not accept these figures, and the
past day or two but little has been offer
ing. A little irmness in the Chicago mar
ket, however, has sent the price up to 30
cents for No. 2. which is the price paid
as we so TO press. No sale for Oats aud

former at Ia cents a bushel, the latter at

Republican Meetings.

re- Hon. FIrz HENRY WARREN, Re
publican candidate for Presidential Elec
tor, has issued list of appointments, by
which we learn that he will address the
citizens of-this County at this place, or
Wednesday, September 18th, at g O'Clock
P. M. We hope arrangements will be
made at that time for general turn ou
Of the people.
The following notice has also been
handed us
The Byron Township Republican Club
will meet at the School House, near L.
S. Brooks's residence, on Wednesday
August Goth, at y p NJ, at which time
c. E. LATHRoP, Esq, will speak upon
the political issues of the day. A full
attendance is requested. A special invi-
tation is extended to the ladies.
The Township Club held regular
meeting at the Court House last Satur-
day night. There was quite large at
tendance, and the meeting was very
enthusiastic one. Addresses were deliv-
cred by ALFRED THOMAS, Esq, and Hon.
JOHN SCOTT. Round after round of APP
plause responded to the telling hits which
the speakers made against sham democ-
racy. Better feeling was never nantes
ted in any meeting. We have no space
for further report.
There was a misunderstanding relative
to the appointment of Messrs. SELLS and
CArrELL to speak at this place. Our an
nouncement was made by authority of
the Chairman of the State Central Com
mittee, but it seems that Mr.. HoxIE trans
crossed his instructions. Messrs. SELLS
and CArTELL came here in attendance on
the Grand Lodge of Good Templars, and
were averse to speaking here at that time,
because it might give rise to the impu-
tation OF trying to make political capital
out of their position in the order. For
that reason, they refused to speak, to the
disappointment Of many who came in
from the country to hear them.
