The sons Of sunny South and frigid North
Calmly sleeping the sleep Of death 0 u mother aarth ;
But why is this, ard why do we
Forget the proud boon ofLIBERrY?
l. ct them receive from Satans hand
The only boon he can command
A nd sink as sinks the cold and wintry win d
B efore the summer sun, and leave no trace behind
A nd may their bright hopes be forever blasted
Like dead-sea fruts-wither ere they re tasted,
nd the joys of earth may they never know
But be haunted with scenes of desoattng
But Joys as well a sorrows glide
Adown the Years recedug tide;
Green islets dot the watry way
O'crarching Night is pierced by Days
Bright glories, ilnagcd on the stream,
Fling back a rich and radiant gleam:
1t is not all of gloom
An ocean waste berett OF bloom
This chosen Land Of Liberty
With ''happy homes and affairs Free"
Still holds CONSTITUTION firm,
OF all our growth and strength the germ
Still boasts MON strong and dear
The freeman hope, the tyrauts fear;
Still hoists a FLAG before the world,
The proudest ever yet unfurld!
Stretched on the Autumn's withered leaves,
Which the winds had heapad in play,
With the gitteriug shroud the hoar fross wsaves,
Cast over him as he lay.
With death within his heart,
And dmness in his gaze.
The dying Old Year saw depart
His last moons pa.lid rays.
There was dim light in tho air,
A cold and ghastly gcam;
The clashirg boughs were stripped aud bare,
The ice on the stream.
Out from the frozen North,
The winds rushed iercely by
And the stars Of heaven came looking forth
TO the O.d Year die
Oh for the balmy days Of Spring
When the hawthorn boughs were white,
And the wood ark rose on his buoyant wing,
In the glowing morning light
When over the clover lea
The sun and shadows rolled,
And the meadows, that waved like leaving sea,
Were bright with the king caps gold.
Oh for the beauty and the pride,
When the Summers bounteous hand
Scattered h2r treasures, far and wide,
Over all the pleasant land.
When sweety all day long,
AT morn and eve, and noon,
lie heard the trill Of the backbrd's song
Through the bowery woods OF June.
Ohl for one single moment now.
Of the glowing Autumn sum-
When the rustng wheat sheaf bound his brow,
And the reapcrs task done
When on the laden trees
The fruit hung ripe and fair,
And the murmuring hum OF the honey boes
Came drowsiIy on the air.
Hnecl round the dying monarch's bier
Let us kncel and meckly pray
With 81 h. and moan, and sorrowing tear,
As the soul doth PASS away.
Let each lightly wasted hour
OF the months that have gone by
Strike on our hearts with a fearful power,
As we see The Old Year die.
Let us weep for the ills we have wrought,
The good we have cast away,
he hasty word and the evil thought
Of many by gone day
Hark with the midnight chime
Another year is fed
Another step in the march of time
The poor old king is dead

ADMIRAL DAHLGREE. 1t seems that
Admiral Dahlgren has been sick for some
time past, and has either been confined to
bed or able with difficulty to crawl on
deck or into the pilot on critical oc-
casions, at a sad expense of ease and COL
fort. The abominable atmosphere OF the
IRON clads has taken hold of his system,
and nothing but his high resolution, and
the necessity he is under of vindicating the
action of the Navy Department, which
placed him in command, can long sustain
him under his present debility.

THE PATH OF PEACE. Gen. Meade, in
the speech made by him last week, on his
being presented with sword, said:
al have to request of you, gentlemen,
who are in civil life, that, when you re
turn home, you will spare no efforts to
make the people understand that all we
want are men to fill up our ranks. Send
these to us. Give us the numbers. and
the war will soon be concluded. ! think
the rebels are now satisfied that their
struggle is only a matter of time, as we
have. the force on our side, and that as
soon as they see that we are bringing cut
that force in earnest they will yield.

AT Union meeting at Dubuque,
Iowa, last week, Governor Kirkwood adj
dressed the crowd briefly for the benefit
of the copperhead leaders who reside
there. He said that he was organizing
the militia throughout the State, and as
sure as God lived, any attempt to resist
the draft would be met with the severest
punishment. 1t will not be necessary for
the federal government to weaken its ar
mics in the field to enforce obedience to
law in Iowa. Why was it necessary in
New York 2 Because the .'style" of the
Governor was different.

TRAITORS. Silas Wright, who was one
of the bestand the purest Democrats of his
time, once said "Ifamong us there be any
who are prepared, for any earthly object, to
dismember our confederacy, and destroy
that constitution which binds US together,
let the fate Of an arnold be theirs, and let
the detestation and scorn ofeyery American
be constant companions, until, like him they
shall abandon a coun ry whose rich bless
lngs they are no longer worthy to enjoy"
