"I,m saddest When I Sing

No truer lire was perhaps ever penne6
as having faithful confession of the emo
lions and feelings viii ch SO often sway a
human heart, than the above brief sentence.
The face that is wreath ed in smiles; the eye
that sparkles with delight; the voice that
/ sounds SO merrily, as if Z sorrow, had ev-
er intruded to hush its joyous accents, or no
care had settled upon the brow all flushed
with health and hops-these-all these out
ward tokens of spirit that is buoyant and
free, may yet possess an undercurrent OF
sadness; that fain would Danish a conscious
ness Of its gloom, but yet is bowed down by
a Sc cret sorrow, that even the sweet COM
partnership of home may fail to dispel.
The happiest of mortals are creatures OF
circumstance; we fancy ourselves too, hap
Ply when we are not, and miserable when
we fail to appreciate the blessings that sur
round; and only when misfortunes have re-
ally. come do we take retrospective glance,
carrying with it the conviction, that we
possessed treasure when we knew it not,
that sunbeams had fitted across our path
way when we believed that all was cheer
less and dark-that day and night were
gloomily one; while memory only dwelt up
on faded flowers, or wept in silence aud
despair over the tomb of the past, as if
there existed no "silver lining behind the
clcud"-no rainbow ofPromise to betoken
calm. ~ 80.
Yes tits true, that many are saddest when
they sing. You walk to-day as yesterday
the busy street, You mingle as usual with
the gay throng; but all the bright eyes you
encounter, or the bounding forms you greet,
are not an truth what they seem; nor is the
grave and thoughtful look, however sad
the expression it may som etimes wear, an
unerring evidence that the heart is all with
cred and crushed within.
The fair, and by many esteemed, most
gifted postess of Kentucky, once wrote:
'FRo rainbow ever spann'd the sky,
But some dark spirit OF the storm
With sable plume was lowering nigh,
To watch its soft and fairy FORM"
Hers was indeed a faithful portrayal and
apt comparison of heart feelings and earthly
hopes. We are borne down the tide ofsuc
cess to-day, elated by seemingly realized
dreams of happiness, when sable plumes
are waving DER US; and drifting again in
mid current where thousand pillows Of
ent meet, we only hear faint
echo of what might have been from Times
receding shore.

From the New York World.

General Harrison, in a speech at Fort
Meigs, in 1840H expressed sentin elts which,
like many of the doctrines and opinions of
the fathers Of the Republic, contrast singu-
larly with the ideas now current among
those who monopoiize the administration of
our national affairs; and, if we may believe
them, mouopolize also all the loyalty of
the period. 1t will be seen that that wise
and good man thought it necessary for the
people to watch their rulers. The modern
dogma is, 'he who does not trust them i'm
pficitly is disloyal.' He said, See that the
Government does not acquire to much pow
err We are now told to give to the Adj
ministraton, not merely to the Government,
all the power it asks for, and TO have no fear
for the result. His words were such as
these: 1T is necessary to watch, not the
political opponents of an Administration, but
the Administration itself, and to see that it
keeps within the bounds OF the Constitution
and the laws Of the land.' But the Adolf
tionists tell US To watch only Democrats; and
as for the Constitution, why, that is piece
of waste paper, to be laid one side till the
war is over; and as for the laws of the land
and the laws of war, we must substitute
military necessity These are General
Hanison's words:
The old-fashioned Repu blican rule is to
watch the Government. Sac that the Gov-
eminent does not acquire too much power.
Keep a check upon your rulers. Do this
aud liberty is safe. And if your efforts
should result successfully, and 1 should be
placed in the Presidential chair. shall in
vite a recurrence to the old Republican rule,
to watch the Administration, and to con-
denim all its acts which are not in accord
ance with the strictest mode of Republican
ism. Our rulers, fellow citizens, must be
watched. Power is insinuating. Few men
are satisfied with less power than they can
obtain. II the ladies whon L see around
me were near enough to hear me, and of
sufficient age to give experimental answer,
they would tell you that n lover is satisfied
with the first smile of his mistress.
1t is necessary, therefore. to watch, not
the political opponents of an Administration,
but the Administration itself, and to see
that it keeps within the bounds of Consti-
tn ton aud the laws of the land.
