pense will be $305, 900, 900, or .1fce times
The amount Of the national savings. And
here let Us remember that this enormous
debt has been more than doubled by the
use of paper money, and this it is that con-
stitutes the great crime of Mr.. Chase. he
knew perfectly well the effect of paper
money, and when demonstrated with on
it's proposedH issue, answered that "the
people would not bear taxation"
The writer in the Times claimed that,
if it was true that the country was almost
in state Of bankruptcy, it was scanda-
lous to say so, to which the Magazine re-
spends: care we to see public officer
pursuing policy that will ruin the gov
eminent, and yet not lift our voice in pro-
test7 Criticism may bring about change
that will save us; silence allows the evil
to continue until all is lost. We love our
country too dearly; we desire too earn
estly that it may be again united and hap
py, not to warn those who are sailing our
ship Of state of the rocks before them. If
it is called patriotism to keep silence un-
der such circumstances, all we can say is,
God save our poor country from such pa

Hush ! let thy step be still as death
Let not whisper break her Sleep
Winged odors float upon her breath,
As perfumes on the Indian deep.
Her coral lips, just parted, keep
Entrance to gates of pearl within,
And rosy flushes gently creep
Upon her cheek-and go again.
Up from her bosom comes . sigh.
Is it of passion. or of pain?
Doth love upon her sad heart lie?
Do languid dreams oppress her brain !?
She sighs, and sleeps, and sighs again,
Her dropping lids in sweet repose,-
A tear upon her cheek, like rain
Or dew upon the summer rose.
Oh. sleep, sleep on in perfect grace!
May never dream disturb thy rest,
Or change the outline of thy face
Upon the snowy pillow pressed.
All breezes from the sweet southwest
Blow cool upon thy marble brow;
All angels guard thy virgin nest
And keep thee ever calm-as now.

THE FORTY DAYS."
FROM THE FRENCH OF PIERRE vEROr

PROLOGUE
Il was one morning last May
The scene-a barren plain several miles
from any human dwelling.
The only actors in the drama about to
take place were dog and man.
The dog, rousing big one, looked dis
tressed. His eyes were blOodshet, his
tongue hung out and his jaws were Aecked
with foam.
He was a guant, rOugh-haired brute,
with a great patch of dirty red in the
middle of bis back that would have
''spotted' him at once among a thousand
CANNES.
The man, verging toward the fifties,
was dressed like a country gentleman,
and without weapon of any sort, even a
cane.
The dog perceived him, and he saw the
dog.
The man took to his heels; the dog
pursued him, overlook him, knocked him
down, and, giving him terrible nip in
the flank, resumed his course, and speedily
disappeared in the distance.
The man got up painfully, looked at his
wound, recollected mount and NUT
tered:
'Not soul within hail! 1t will take
me two good hours walking to reach the
nearest village. By that time the poison
will have spread through my whole body.
It's clear case! l shall go mad!"
The man who has just figured in the
prologue was one OF the richest proprietors
of the district
Having made bis money at Paris BY
speculations of very doubtful honesty, he
had purchased an estate for q song, by
cunningly contriving to depreciate it in
the market beforehand.
Obstinate, aggressive, litigious, be was
the plague of the neighborhood.
His feelings, therefore, in consequence
Of the accident that had just happened to
him, were very different from those which
would occur to men generally, under SIM
liar circumstances
As soon as be got home he sent for the
village doctor
"I've been bitten by mad dog !" said
he.
"But-"
" know what you are going to say;
you want to cauterlze me. But it was five
hours ago, at least. There's no use ofaiy.
ing me torture for nothing"
"Well, after so long an interval, it's
true there is some fear that"
"That's enough! understand. How
long Go you think it will be before-the
crisis?"
"Forty days, at most
"Forty days! That's all l wanted to
know; and now-in case I shouldn't see
you again-good-by, Doctor"
"Forty days." said he to himself after
the doctor had gone. "Then I've not
minute to lose, to undo the wrong I have
done before die. So, to work!'
The next day the unhappy man hurried
OF, the first thing in the morning, to his
rlght-hand neighbor.
"Mr. x" said he, "I've come to see
you about that suit which,

The day after, he called on his left
hand neighbor.
"Mr. "" said the victim, 81 sold you
that cottage and lot that divides your park
from mine at usurious price, having
bought it in an underhand way, myself for

Rev. f. A. johnson, who during the
conference year just closed, has had pas
toral charge Of the Methodist Episcopal
Society of this place, has been appointed
to Akron. Inthe short year Mr.. Johnston
has spent in this community, he has won
many warm friends, who will sincerely re-
greet that his stay in Warren is TO be so
short. We wish him the greatest posi-
bic good fortune in his new home.
A number of the young ladies and gen.
tlemen connected with the charge in this
place, testified their appreciation of the
many excellent social and christian quail
tiles of Mr.. and Mrs. johnson, by pres
enting them a few evenings since with q
splendid silver butter bowl, bearing in
scriptions, as follows; In exquisite letter

what an Editor saw In Warren.

Our friend HARRIS of the Ohio Farmer,
when in town last week, took a few notes
of Warren matters, and in the last num-
Der of the Former, speaks of some things
he observed, as follows:
WOODEN WARE.-W. B. GoRToS & Co ,
of Warren, are running q new and curl
GUS machine for making nail kegs, which
shears the stuff for the keg whole, off a
round log, with the proper swell and ia
per; other curious machines cut the heads,
fit the size of the barrel, &c. 4 single
set of machinery is capable of turning out
5000 in ten hours. These kegs are much
better for the purpose than those made
of slaves, and at the same time are much
cheaper made. One man can set UP two
hundred in q day. Messrs GoRroS L Co.
also do a large business in the turning Of
wagon and buggy spokes. Aessrs. HAP
aooD i GoRToS nave purchased a factory
in Akron, where they will carry on the
business of turning butter-frkins, on g
new and improved plan.
New OIL MILL.-Messrs. L. n. DAWSON,
LEWIS HoYT and H. G. STRATToS, under
the style of Dawson, Hoyt and Co have
lust erected a new brick oil mill at War
rem, of the most substantial kind. The
building is three stories high. fire proof
with the best of machinery, capable OF
working up 225 bushels of seed per day
The farmers Of that region will ind there
a good market for their fax seed,
SOME CHrEsE.-At the storehouse of the
.taunch firm Of SMITH 4 McCoxBs, al
Warren, we saw a large lot of this Yves

purchases of this house amounted to 6OC
tons. Mr.. Smith took some pains, last
year, to ascertain the amount of Ameri
can cheese shipped from New York tc
Europe, and informs us that it was moi
less than seventy million poundsl
A PILE OF WooL.-While in Warner
last week, we took a turn through the
woolhouse of B. II. Fitch, Esq.,, of thai
place. Mr.. Fitch has been for many
years in this business, and knows hi
territory from A (Ashtabula) to lizard
1.-THE Ohio river.) Mr.. Fitch had the sa
gacity to see the prospective advance in
wool early in the season, and went in
sweeping up nearly all the most desirable
clips in that region before the sleepy
heads of the trade had got their eyes open

.BeautifuI Stand of CoIors.

For several days past, two very hand
some flags have been on exhibition at S.
W Parks Saddlery Hardware Store,
gotten up for the 125th Ohio Regt. The
regimentaI flag is of blue silk, in the
centre of which is q splendid large eagle,
embroidered in colors, and executed in
a very artistic manner. The battle-aag,
which is the National colors, is made of
silk and trimmed very handsomely. Its
folds are inscribed in gilt letters with the
names of some of the principal battles in
which the l25th has participated-such as
Chickamauga, Rockyface, Missionary
Ridge Reseca, Atlanta, &c.
The patriotic ladies Of Kinsman took
an active part in the procurement o
these beautiful flags. The cost of the
two was $1,000. OF that amount $1,000
was paid by the Kinsman ladies, who
were willing to give as much more had it
been needed. The brave boys of the
l25th will be cheered when they behold
those beautiful flags, which III cir friends
and dear ones at home have gotten up in
their honor and praise. Long may they
