The Oak of the Forest.

Thou oak of the forest! whose dark branches
sway
Der the wild lonely paths of my weed-tangled
way;
Proud oak of the forestI o hear me complain,
That the journey oflile is a journey of pain.
Where the pilgrim Of sadness his hard burthen
bears,
Where the fond chill ofsentiment hopes and des-
pairs;
Whore pleasures, succeeded full soon by disgust,
Remind us that man is but heir of the dustl
All! would that like thee I might safely defy
All the tempests that sweep Ger theworld's fckle
sky;
Ali would that like thee could calmly behold
Tie murderous whirlwind its terrors unfold.
For thou, with thy brethren, wilt hounshing
grow,
When this bosom is cold, and this head is laid
low;
In the fresh gale of spring shall thy green honors
wave. ---
When shall be dust in the rnoulderihg grave,
Each summer that comes will thy foliage restore,
When shall be withercd TO flourish no more;
But boldl there is hope, there is comfort for me,
Mid the darkness of sorrow, rich daWnings see'
o worldl where the weary shall endlessly rest,
No longer by power or fortune oPPrest; s-
o realmsl where my spirit shall joyously soar,
When the oak of the forest shall flourish no morel

The Execution at Henderson.

Some time since Gen. Burbridge, com.
manding the district, Issued an order tha
for every UEion oitizon shot by guerrilla:
two of the rebel prisoners in our hand:
should be put to death. The killing oI
Poole is too fresh in the minds Of our read
ers to need repetition here. Jno. P. Powell
and William Thompson, belonging to the
rebel army, were selected and sent to Hen
derson to. be shot in retaliation for the kill
| ling of Poole. These men have only been
about six weeks in the rebel service and
are from Davies county, Ky, They are
yourg men, Powell, about % and Thomp-
son between 18 and 20 of age. These men
were publicly executed at Henderson on
Friday morning in obedience to the order of
Gen. Burbridge. We have been unable to
learn any of the details of the execution.
Saturday the commander of the rebel
forces sent the following order to the citi-
zens of Henderson:
HEADoUARTERs SYPERT AND SoYER's ]
CoNFEDERATE REGIMENT, July 23d.{
To the Citizens of Henderson.
On yesterday to Confederate soldiers were
shot to death in the streets Of your CITY,
They died instatly. They condemned. their
as any citizen of Kentucky, the wounding
of Mr.. James E. Rankin and the plunder-
ing in your city. But they are gone, and
their murder is another crime added to the
damnable catalogue of the despotism that
rules you. We are Confederate soldiers
We fight for the liberties our sires bequeath-
ed US. We have not N made, nor will we
make war upon citizens and women. Let
not your people be excl ted by any further
appre tension that we will disturb the peace
of your community by the arrest of Union
m en-, or any interference with them, unless
they place themselvesin the attitude ofcom
batauts. Such conduct would be cowardly
and we scorn it. We are in arms to meet
and battle with soldiers-not to tyrannize
over citizens end frghten women and chill
dren. We move with our lives in our hands.
We are fighting not for booty, bnt for liber-
ty; to disenthrall our loved Southern land
from the horrible despotism under which it
has bled and suffered so much. We know
our duty, and will doit as soldiers aud m IN
even if what are denominated Southern
mpathizsrs' be arrested by the tyrants
that lord over you. We would scorn to re.
taliate by arresting Union men who had not

will be upon soldiers. Let not the non- COM
batsnts of your community be further excl
ted by any fear that we will disturbed them
all Union men who may have left home on
our account may safely return. In war Sold
iers should do the fighting.
The brave sons of our beloved land, so far
have triumph antly resisted the cruel cru
sade of Northern vandals; and we trust in
God that she--our "D ixie"-may soon stand

SCRAPS OF SCIENoE.-One OF the m ost
wonderful achievements of astronomers is
the weighing OF the bodies comprising the
solar system. The mass of the sun is 259;
55l times greater then that of the earth
and moon, and 7CO times greater that the
united masses of all the planets.
The circum ference of the earth is 70 .oOo
miles. A train travelling necessarily night
and day, at the rate Of 25 miles an hour
would require six weeks to go around It.
A tunnel through the earth from England
10 New Iceland, would be nearly 1000 miles
lcng.
The barking of dogs as an acquired he
reditary instinct, supposed to have orig'na-
ted iu an attempt to initiate the bum an
voice. Wild dogs, and domestic oreeos
which have become wild, never bark but
ouIy howl. Cats, which so disturb the IN
ba6itants of civilized countries Oy then
midnight 'caterwaul,' are, in their wild state
in South America, quite silent.

The TIME FOB SLEEP AND SrUDY.-By
all means sleep enough, and give all in your
care sleep enough, by requiring them to bed
at some regular hour, and to get up at the
moment of spontaneous waking in the
morning. Never waken up any one, espec-
tally children, from sound sleep. unless
there is urgent necessity; it is cruel to do so.
To prove this. we have only to notice how
fretful and unhappy a child is. when walked
up before its napis out. If the brain is
nourished during sleep. it must have most
vigor in the morning; heEce the morning
is the best time for study-for then the
brain has most strength, most activity, and
must work more clearly. 1t is the mid
night lamp which floods the world with
sickly ssntimentalities, with false morals
with rickety theology, and with all those
harum- -scsrum dreams of human elevation n
which abnegate Bible teachings.-Rars

WHAT WE MAY Do.-No human being
can be isolated and self-sustained. The
strongest and bravest ard M ost helpful have
Yet, acknowledged or unacknowIedged, TO
themselves, moments of hungry soul yearu-
ings for companionship and sympathy. For
the want of this, what wrecks of humanity
lie strewn about US. Youth wasted for the
m ock semblance of friendship. Adrift at
the mercy of chance, for the grasp of true,
firm hand, and kindly loving heart, to
counsel. 1t is affecting to see how strong.
in this yearning so fatal to its possessor If
not guided rightly, such life anchor fsafely
placed. "Ffiendless!' What tragedy there
may be hidden in that one little word
None to labor for; none to weep or smile
with; none to care whether we win or lose
in life's struggle. A kind word, or smile;
coming to such crisis of life, how often has
it been like the plank to the drowning man,
lacking which he surely must have perish
ed. These surely, we may bestow a. We

souls are waiting for our sympathetic reoog'

NATURE.-H we cast glance at the inn
mense quantity of plants and animals which
live on the face of the earth, we are at first
struck with the variety of forms under
winch they present themselves; with their
colors so diversified and sometimes brilliant,
and with the colossal proportions of some as
| compared with the diniinutiveness of others.
Wnen, however, we study them more care
luily, we at once see the perfection which
exists IN the organs of both plants and ami
mails, and how we'll they are adapted to-
their habits and modes of life, from the en-
otmous whale, which requires an ocean to
swim In. to those minute and myriad forms
which the microscope reveals, and which
ind ample room for all their evolutious in
single drop of its waters; from the lofty
tree which rami1es in the earth and atmos-
phere, and has stood for centuries the pride
and ornament of the landscape, to the low
~ moss which clings to its bark, or the
beautiful and sweet-scenteG wild flower
growing beneath its shade. We also soon
see abundant reason for believing that the
differences amongst the organic productions
OF nature are not so great as we at first sur
missed: we trace, by almost imperceptibIe
gradattonsi the mineral into the plant, and
animal life becomes, as it were gradually
developed in the vegetable, or rather both
become blended together in the same organic
being.

WoMAN's LAUGH.-A woman has no
natural grace more bswitching than a sweet
laugh. II leaps from her heart in a clear,
sparkling rill; and the hearts that hear it
feel as if bath ed in the exhilaratins spring
Have you every pursued an unseen fugitive
through trees, led on by her airy laugh
now here, now lost, now found? We have e.
And we are pursuing that wandering voice
to this day. Sometimes it comes to us in
the midst Of care, or sorrow, or irksome bust
ness; aud then we turn away and listen. and
hear it ringing through the room like sill
yer bell, with power to scare away the ill
spirits of the mind. How much we owe to
that sweet laugh! Itturrs the prose of our
life into poetry, it hings showers of sunshine
over the darksome wood in which we are
travelling, it touches with light even our
sleep, which is no more the image of death,
but is consumed with dreams that are the
shadows of mortality. @

The SPIRIT OF LovE.-Beyond all ques-.
ton, it is the unalterable constitution of
nature that there Is efficacy in love. The
exhibition of kindness has the power I'd
bring even the irrational animals into sub
lection. Show kindness to dog, and you
can lead him by the name; you can change
the ferocity of his heart into an affection
stronger than death. In all of Gods vast;
unbounded creation, thare IS not living and
eentient being, from the least to the largest,
not one, not even the outcast and degraded
serpent, that is insensible to acts of kind.
ness. If love, such as our blessed Saviour
manifested, could be introduced into the
world, and exert its appropriate dominion it
would restore a state of things far brighter
than the fabulous age Of gold; it would an
nihilste every sting; it would pluck every
poisonous tooth, it would hush every dis
cordant voice. Even the ihaniri ate crea-
tion is not insensible to this divine in
fuence. The bud and flower and fruit put
forth most abundantly and beautifully
where the hand of kindness is extended for
their culture. And if this blessed influence
should extend itself over the earth, moral
garden Of Eden would exist in every land;
instead of the thorn and the brer, would
spring up the fir tree and the myrtle; the de-
sert would blossom, and the solitary plac6
be made glad. ~

Has il ever occurred to the laboring classes
what would be the effect of abolitionism,
upon their interests and status in society,"
Once set free the negroes of the South, and
OF course cur country would be flooded with
immigration to the free States. They would
naturally desire to be among their friends
1t would be here, they would conclude, they
could most readily obtain protection and ad-
vancement. They would undoubtedly come
in com petition with the laboriDg white man
The American, Irish, and German citizen
the poor man. They would work for
lower sges, and would therefore reduce the
price of the white mans labor. Soon the
poor white man, as laborer, would be con-
founded with the negro, socially, morally
and as working men. The property holders
would begin to speak of the free negro and
poor white man as helps. Whether the
working man ever lowers himself SO much
as to meet the negro Oh equal terms, makes
but little difference practically. Just as soon
as the black labor comes in compe ition
with white, capital will place them on
equality. Under the present policy of the
party in power, few years will place the
poor in complete serfdOm, and comming-
ling of the races will os the inevitable re-
suIt-miscegenation a reality. Whether
American citizens will tamely submit to
tyranny aud degrad alton, will be decided by
next xtNoyember.-The Constitution.
