Treasures of Thought.

We would like to grasp the hand that wror
this little poem. A pleasant thing it is /
meet man whose mind is not made drunk
en- by the spirit of this selfish age. His yer
ses are worth more than a nugget Reader
treasure them: it is no shame to allow
flower of sentiment to fill corner in the bus
iness heart. Business becomes n murderisI
tyrant when it crushes ont human nature
finer instincts and susceptiblites.
If thou hast thrown q glorious though.
Upon life's common ways,
Should other men the gain have caught,
Fret not to lose the praise.
Great thinker, often thon shalt find,
While folly plumbers fame,
To thy rich store the crowd is blind,
Nor knows thy very name.
What matters that, if thou uncoil
The soul that God has given,
Not in the worlds mean eye 20 toll.
But in the sight Of Heaven?
If thou art true, yet in thee turks
For fame human sigh:
To nature 20, and see how works
That handmade of the sky.
Her own deep bounty she forgets
Is full of germs and seeds,
Nor glorifes herself, nor sets
Her flowers above her weeds.
She hides, the modest leaves between.
She loves untrodden roads
Her richest treasures are not seen
By any eye but Gods.
Accept the lesson. Look not for
Reward from out the chase
All seiih ends, and ask no more
Than to fulfil thy place.

Hold up yorir head, man.
Joy may depart;
Sunshine may vanish
Out OF thy heart
Clouds may hang DER thee,
Black ming and dread =;
Still hold up thy head, man.
Hold up thy head, man
While there is life
Still is there hope left
In the worlds strife;
And in the battle
Friends have all fed,
Still, hold up thy head, man.
Hold up thy head
Hold up thy head, man !

Ever are cast
O'er thy existence;
Zen to deaths bed,

Kentucky have sincerely striyen to preserve
in their State domestic peace, and to avert
the caiamities Of sanguinary engagements.
Recently large body of soldiers have
been enlisted in the United States army and
collected in military camps in the central
portion Of Kentucky. This movement was
preceded by the active organization Of CON-
panies, regiments, &c.. consisting OF men
sworn into the United States service, under
officers holding commissions from yourself.
Ordnance, arms, munitions and supplies Of
war are being transported into the State
and placed in large quantities in these
camps. In word, an army is now being
organized and quartered within the State,
supplied with all the appliances Of war,
without the consent or advice Of the author
tiles Of the State, and without consultation
with those most prominently known and re-
cognized as loyal citizens. This movement
now imperils that peace and tranquility
which, from the beginning Of our pending
difficulties, have been the paramount desire
of this people, and which up to this time,
they have secured to the State.
Within Kentucky there has been, and IS
likely to be no occasion for the presence o.
Military force. The people are quiet and
tranquil, feeling no apprehension OF any oc'
casion arising to invoke protection from the
Federal army. They have asked that their
territory be left free from military occupa-
ton. and the present tranquility Of their
communication left uninvaded by soldiers
They do not desire that Kentucky shall bs
required to supply the battlefield Tor th'
contending armies, or become the theatre o
/ the war.
j Nav. therefore. as Governor Of the State
Of Kentucky, and in the name Of the people

single and earnest desire to avert from thei
peaceful homes the horrors OF war. urg
