FOR THE SPECTATOR.
The Hour of Prayer.

BY IANTHE
When the stars are all liz IN the beautiful sky,
And the moon in her glory's ascended on high,
While the sweet bells ringing to the altar repair
Forget it not maiden tits the hour of prayer.
The air. soft and balmy, will bear up on high
The voice of Thy prayer, to thy God in the sky,
The soft evening zephyrs, at the hour of prayer
Seem 20 whisper and tell thee, where thou should's
repair.
The violet, that's closed in the stiffness of night
It's tiny leaves folded meath the dew drop so bright
Seems to whisper and tell, tits the hour OF prayer
Youth follow the aged, and bow the knee there
All nature seems hushed in the calmness of eve,
Yet seems short prayer to its Maker to breathe:
The vesper bell ringing, fond Mother, o hear
Gather round Thee thy children, It's the hour ofprayer
And cen in the morn fore the suns risen high,
While yet the stars twinkle in the quiet blue sky,
And the matin bells ring, in the still morning air.
Pause thee, gallant soderl it's the hour of prayer
Before the broad streets become thronged with the
crowd,
Or cen halls of fashion are filed with the proud,
Child, stadent, and maiden. Q venture not there,
Until thou hast breathed to thy Maker, prayer.

POETRY.
FOR THE SPECTATOR.
Twilight.

FOR THE SPECTATOR.
Twilight.
Return Ieturni sweet twilight,
W it'll all thy charms return,
And cause our spirits bright,
With pious zeal to bum.
How pleasant it's to sit
Beneath some shady tree,
With leafy brancheslit,9
In sun set splendors free.
We think on pleasures past,
And dream of joys to come,
We sing song and. cast
Our thoughts on home.
We sit in silence there, ~
And scarce sound Is heard,
Save now and then we hear
The notes Of some sweet Bird.
But twilight has an end
And night now reigns supreme;
She spreads her darkness round,
And makes this world serene, M
CYNTHIA.

R6PTHE RIVER was rising on Saturday

the Reserve left for Cincinnati. Captain
Theadore Fink has purchased the steamer
Decotah, and designs taking her down
South for Government service. The Alta
mont, Capt FiDks old boat is now in the
government service.
The Pittsburgh Gazette of Saturday says:
The river at this point raise some four
teen inches during Thursday night and
Friday, and last evening the pier marks in
dicated full FIVE feet, and at a stand. The
rise emanated entirely in the Allegheny
river, as the Monongahela, as yet, has risen
but little, if any. The weather yesterday
was clear and cool.
The wharf yesterday presented very
cheerful appearance, as nearly all of the
steamers in port were receiving freight,
and making preparations to leave for yari-
Gus points below. There is not, as yet,
however, water enough to let boats out
with full cargoes and the consequence is,
the rates of freight are pretty "steep."
The tug boat Tiger, will leave for Gin
Cinnati to day with ten barges of coal. con-
tanning about twenty thousand nushels.-
Although this is rather small shipment,
We have no doubt it will be thankfully re-
ceiVed by the citizens of he "Queen City,"
where coal is selling at rs to SO cents per
bushel.
The GAINESVILLE packet Emma Graham
will in all probability arrive here to-mor-

apples, and q lot of other freight. She
will leave for Wheeling to-day.
