We Must Fay.
1t is not in the order Of Providence that
such blessings as our imp, rial Constitution
has given should be assured to half a con
,inent, and to future centuries, without one
terrific season of strife and agony 1t could
not he rooted and Sanct.ied without one
mighty conflict, in which it's benefits should
be thoroughly realized, and the race receiv-
ing them should partly earn them.
Our first settlers fought with winter and
famine and sayages. to keep the seeds OF
liberty from being rooted up. They fought
with French and Indians, marching hun
"reds of miles through The unknown will
derne>s to conquer the right to their vast
frontiers. Eight years they stood the storm
of the revolution, seeing the land stripped
of riches to the very bed rock, that they
| might earn the right OF entering, as one
people, the path Of national experience and
greatness.
But what have we ever paid for the Con
Stitution, the most bcneticent parchment
ever dropped into the vii history of ti,en !?
Nothing in blood, in devotion, in hp-oic
suffering. Providence, having shown us in
>eventr-tive years of its blessings what il is
worth, and having just completed the area
and symmetry of the nation it is to rule,
calls on us to rally to it; to prove ourselves
worthy of it, and, through our fidelity. to
lift it into authority through all our Amer
ica for centuries t. come
We shall have to suffer more in it's behali,
and we must BE- ready to say that we will
If our prosperity was not now so great we
should be stronger Labor throughout the
North is now so well paid, that there is no
stimulus but patriotism no added incite-
ment of actual want to renew the wasted
army and swell its brigades The rebeliou>
States have nothing else to do than to fight
Their slaves till their farms, and so furnish
grain and meat. Their money is worth
less; Their trade with the world cut off :;
they have no employment for half their
white population but fighting, and drafting
sweeps them from idleness into resistance
to the beneticent charter which is rightiuly
sovereign over them If we could be smit,
ten by war half as severely as they are, we
should conquer. Perhaps Providence is
m"rcifully appointing that for us.-T Starr

For she had lover who loved her well
She too would be wed ere the autumn fell
So her task was light that happy minute,
For her heart was in it-her heart was in it!
The autumn fell. but she was not wed
Her lover was ial.e, the neighbers said.
She twined wreath with the fingers thin.
But never a rose was found therein;
To 'he rythm, she twned, a to ling bell,
And the flowers she wove were les imnaortellesl

Morning in Italy.

The stars burnt out i'm the pale blue air.
And the thin white moon lay witherng there:
To tower, and cavern. and rift, and tree,
The owl and the bat fed drowsily.
Day had knded the dewey woods.
And the rocks above. and the stream below,
And the vapors in their niultitudes.
Aud the Arpeuine's shrnud OF summer snow,
Aud clothed with light of airy gold,
The msts in their eastern uproll'd.
Oay had awaken'd all things that be-
The lark, and the thrush, and the swallow free,
And the milkmaid' song. and the mowers scythe
And the matin bell and the ount ain bee,
Fire-f1ics were quenehed on the dewey corn,
Glsw worms went out or the rivers brm,
Like lamps which 4 student torg is to trim
The beetle forgot to wind his horn
The crickets were still in the inca dow and hill.
