A Harvest Song.

BYw.s.
The toll of day is ended,
The night is at her noon;
And the harvest song swolls blithely up
Beneath the harvest moon;
Then tread a quicker measure,
And chant a louder strain
With dance and song the day prolong
That bring the golden grain.
From out the distant mountain
Comes the voice Of the cascade,
And the nearer dream of its silver stream
Makes glad the silent glade:
Through all the shadowy forest
Is heard the fall of leaves
And the timd hare treads stealthily
Among the nodding sheaves.
And now on every hillside,
The purple vintage glows
AS when deeper radiance falls
From daylight at its close;
No time is it for sadness,
Dependency, or fear,
When autumn comes in gladncss,
To crown the fruitful year.
Dear is the pleasant leaf time,
When all is soft around
When frost-imprisoned rivulets
Are melting into sound.
And dear, too, is the season
When spring and summer meet
When the woods are faint with odors,
And the hills are dim with heat.
But spring is but for pasture,
And summer but Tor show
While autumn, like a crowned king,
Has riches to bcstow
So he shall be the monarch
OF all the shining year,
And crown he shall wear, and q
sceptre bear
Of fruits, and the golden ear.

Within few days we shall have ready
and at sea nearly, if not quite, four hun
dred and fifty vessels; and the nation
will have the satisfaction of know ing that
every one of this great fleet is perfectly
fitted for the uses which are to be made
Of it. The labor Of creating such navy
as this is not slight. The time in which
it has been done is not long. 1t might
perhaps have been made less if the gov
ernment had purchased, without inquiry
or examination, every vessel that has
been offered it but then We should have
the navy to make over again, as we have
had the army to recreate. In this, as in
most other parts Of life, the old proverb
holds true "The more haste tho less
speed" A prudent man makes haste
slowly,
Meantime there is reason to bslievo
that the public does not know all that is
going on in the coast-guard fleet. There
is silence before action and though
we are not permitted to be more explicit.
we may say that before many days there
is reason to expect that we shall hear Of
an imortant blow struck by our navy
We are not like y TO know Of it as soon as
the enemy, because he will feel it, But
let US be patiently y Post

These are the consequences that will accrue from
dissolution Of the Union .--
Let us strive then to bring the seceders back and
reform them. Here is government formed, all its
laws and institutions perfect, The house is COM
pete and furnished Those who have left US have but
to step in and take possession Of the mansion of
their fathers. By standing fast blythe Union and
showing the seceders that there is no probability
that we will unite with Them and if the other loyal
saveholding States will show the sane disapproba-
ton of their course will that not have the effect of
checking the career of this revolution? Won't it's
tendency be to make them return to their breth-

tokens of love and affection! When they see we
will not follow, won't they return to use ~
That is our best policy if we want to effect the re-
union of the seeded States 1t is not policy to
increase the evil by joining them Will it be more
difficult for them to come back alone than If six
others Joined them Won't that put farther from US
all hope of reunion? 1t seems to me that every
view, every argument is capable Of demonstration
that the course Of wisdom and policy for us is to
stand BY the Union. 1t is better for us for the fl-
ture, better for the future of the country. The
showing to our ering brethren Of the South that
we will not 60 with them-by showing them one
fixed opinion that their experiment must prove q
failure, and that they can expect nothing like en-.
enlargement from us-will not that have tendency
to bring them back? I think it will.

the Nerth was in the wrong and that the South was

Upon constitutional principles this right would ex-
tend to ali the territories Of the United States and
the Southern States in with the free States
would have undivided and equal right in all the

enjoyment would be difficult, it appeared more con-
venient that there should be for this purpose sort
of partition of the territories of the United States
between the different classes of States slaveholding
and nonssiaveholding.
Our fathers--those Who have gone before us-in
