FRIENDSHIP.


1T J. A GESSETT.
Friendship, thy name shall halioved be.
by all the sacred ties
OF virtue, love and charity,
Which DIV ell beneath the skies.
Though strange to say it may appear,
Friendship is but name,
Which men possess to hold most dear,
But few can truly claim.
The man who proves himself friend,
When sorrows sink you low,
Or when misfortunes dark attend
WIN friendly help bestow-
/. such friend as would crave,
While travelling on lifes way,
To help me all its trials brave,
Aud win at last the day.
Give me the friend who'll ne'er for.ake
Whateer may betide,
To whom, when dark misf,rtunes break
We can our thoughts confde;
And feel our confidence secure,
In trusting such a friend
And know that friendship will endure.
Until lifrs trouble end.

In the warm grandeur of the summerglows,
cleaning and cold in Winters frozen tears,
Oasting faded crimson on the SHOWS
Beauty in all appears
The thunder-music Of the winter foods.
Ihe summer Gains, the hush Of soItudes.
This crowning beauty breathes upon the face.
Up through the fine pores Of the scented flowers
In the still stars her looks of love We trace,
Or quiet midnight hours;
Her dew-wet kisses to the morn are given.
Her lingering bushes tinge the cheek of even.
Beauty will oft her face in darkness ,hropa-
Yet lovely glances struggle through tie storm
lis tho black bosom Of the rainy cloud
Wears the bright rainbow's form.
A universal love. a good In i'll
"orketh for man, yet cheats his human skin.
Closed in the city's cold and granite heart.
Laiied by the glowing murmur of the wheels,
The soul is lost In life, becomes part
Of ths feree tide that ste,ls
throughout the eity's long and sinuous veins,
The manysounGed streets the lighted lanes;
Yet may the heart be far 'mong lowery fells.
Drinking the drowsy music OF the bee,
Or dreaming joyous in the summer de.ls
Wrapt in rich poesy.
The spirit ne'er is chained by time or place,
Wild as the swallow in It's airy chase.
Rejoice, o mani the winds sing out nRejoieer,
HArk' it is whispered by the falling leaf,
A grand hope-echo like a ssraph voice
Rings through the night Of grief
o Godi how barren were thy Gift oflife
Devoid Of no~ers with naught but weeds Of strife!

We are losing time; we are rapidly losing
caste in the world; It Is impossible TO mistake
the sentiment In Washington City. The most

If we cannot rise above the stratum Of this hor-
rible curse, we ought to " sleep the sleep that

Let not Mr.. Lincoln be deceived he has men

and deny the names their mothers called them
by, if they could, thereby, place gold IN their
pockets. Let this wretched, miserable c~onclave
Of unwashed political spendthrifts be- Sc sdrift
All the pesulence that ever infected the Nile-all
the Greeks that ound a harbor III the " Lower
Empire "-would " pale their intellectual fires +"
before the rascahty and political impotence that
combine to constitute a Secretary Of War and a
Secretary Of the Navy for the United States Of

We've had talking enough; these bipeds
should be dismissed, and dismissed at once.
Jefferson Davis may conquer the Republic, but
