Sweetest Of visions,
Filling my slumbers with hottest JOY 2"

Feelings of childhood,
Thatin thy dreams thou bshappy awhile"

Ever, as slumber
Flies, and reality chills me again 2

Sweetly again will steal to thy soul"

to suppose that happiness consists in riches.
Coutentment is not 10 be found in splendor

joice as heartily over the much az he then

HON L S T Y

A late eminent divine of Baltimore, criti-
cizes Pope's celebrated lines, "An honest
mans the noblest work of God," and con-
temptuously asks, "Wherein consists the no.
6leness of paying ones de6ts' Nobleness in
returning certain number of dollars and
cents for value received Why the man that
does not pay his debts, is not considered gen.
Heman, &c. That really was the condition
of things in Dr. Nevins' day, we presume
but we think if he could return to earth in
the present state of affairs, he would almost
be ready to admit that an ''honest man is the
nohlest work of God'-even if the word hon
est were limited to its least significant mean
ing. However, Pope used the word in its
broadest sense, and we give below, as illus
trative of his understanding of it, the follow
ing lines by George Herbert. Let every one
who reads them ask himself, how near he or
che comes to this admirable standard of hon
esty.
VHo is the honest man?
He that doth still and strongly good pursue
Whom neither force nor fawning can
Surprise, or wrench from giving all their due.
Whose honesty is not
SO loose or easy, that ruffiing wind
Can blow away, or glitttering look at blind;
Who rides his horse an easy trot
While the world now rides by, now lags behind.
Who, when great trials come
Nor seeks nor shuns them; but doth calmly
stay
Till be the thing and the example weigh;
. All being brought into sum,
What place or persons call for, he doth pay.
Whom none can work or WOO
To use in anything trick or seight;
For above all things he abbors deceit;
His words, and works, and fashions too
All of piece and all are clear and straight. |
Who never melts or thaws I
At close temptations. When the day is done
His goodness sets not, but in dark can run.
The sun to others writeth laws
And is their virtue:... Virtue is his sun.
Who when he is to treat
With sick folks, women, those whom passions
sway,
Allows for that, and keeps his constant way f; |
Whom others faults do not defeat,
But though men fail him, yet his heart doth
play.
Whom nothing can procure
When the wide world runs bias from his will, |
To writhe his limbs, and share, not mend the |
i'll,
This is the markham safe ard sure,
Who still is right, and prays to be 80 still.

Who Shall GOvern tennessee.

An interesting discussion took place
Yesterday in the House Of Representa-
tives on q series of resolutions, offered
By Mr.. Hood, declaring the amend
nents to the State Constitution ratified
on the ODD of February last by the
people, a part of that instrument, and
valid; that the Legislature now in SEES
sion, was legally and constitutionally
chosen; that the laws enacted by it
must be respected aud obeyed until re-
peAled or declared unconstitutional by
loyal judicial tribunals of the State; and
that it Is treason 10 the State snd the
United States to oppose the Constitu-
ton in sbolishing slavery.
The author Of these resolutions was,
no doubt, irnpelled TO offer them TO the
consideration Of the House, by well su-
thenticated reports, which have reach.
ed this city, OF the intention of rebel
and rebel sympathizing citizens TO op.
pose the amendments TO the Constitu.
ton as void and of no force. and the
acts Of the Legislature as unlawful and
imperative. That these classes of per
sons aided and abetted by pro-slAyery
Union mon-such as supported
Mcclellan last year-expect 10 build NJ
3 party by agitating these questions
and through it to get control of th,
State Government, in all its branches
there Is little room to doubt If the,
should succeed, the loyal people of tn,
State viii have suffered and bled 10 III
tie purpose. They will be compelled
ei.ner to succumb TO the slaveholdin,
aristocracy, who are embittered BY th,
defeat Of their schemes TO destroy th,
Union, malicious and vindictive; or /,
seek peace and quiet in some othe
State. But this can be prevented; no
by resolutions, however. The Legisls
ture can provide S remedy BY enactinJ
law restricting the right of suffrag
10 those who sustain the Constitution
IS amended, and by providing a mill
tary force TO aid the civil authorities t
protect the ballot box and to enforc
the laws. Let this be done and a.
VIII come out right
