In Democratic days the taxes were so slight that
they were scarcely felt. Is it not about time the
people shook of portion of this taxation.--Cin-

In Democratic davs "so-called" the opponents
Of that partJ submitted TO the verdict ofthe ballot
box, andneser plunged the country into war and
debt. in an attempt to reverse an election. Had
the Sothern Democrats in 1861 pursued the same
course there would have been no war nor heavy
taxation. Had the Democrats ef the No, tn given
loyal support to the Government after the war
began, it would have ended in halt the time it did
and our taxes would now be corrsspondingly less

Amidst thsse solemn works of Thine,
The solemn minarets of the pine,
An awful Shasta's icy shrine
Where swell Thy hymns Of wave and gale, .
And organ thunders never fail
Behind the cataract's misty vail.
Our puny walls to Thee we raise,
Our poor reed music sounds Thy praise
Forgive, o, Lord our childish ways
For, kncelng on these altar-s stairs,
We urge Thee not with selfish prayers,
Nor murmur at our daily cares.
Before Thee, in an evil day,
Our country s bleeding heart we Law,
We dare not ask Thy hand to stay;
But through the war-cloud prayto Thee
For Union, bu. Union free,
And peace that comes of purity.
That Thou wilt bare Thine arm to save,
And, smiling through the Red Sea wave,
Make broad pathway for the slave. Ia
For us, confessing all our needs,
We trust no rites nor words nor deeds,
Nor vet the broken staffs of creeds.
Assured alone that Thou art good
To each as to the multitude,
Eternal love and Fatherhood,
Weak sinful. blind, to Thee we kneel,
Stretch humbly forth our hands. and feel
Our weakness in our strong appeal.
So, by these western gates of even,
We wait to see with Thy forgiven
The opening Golden Gate OF Heaven.
Suffice il now. In time to be
Shall holer,altaTs rise to Thee
Thy Church our wide humanirvi
White flowers of Love it, walls shall climb,
Soft bells of Peace shall ring its chime,
Its days shall all be holy time.
A sweeter song shall then be heard,
The music of the worlds accord
Con:essing Christ, the Inward Word.
That song shall swell from shore to shore,
One hope, one laith, one love restore
The seamless robe that Jesus wore.

The story viii be remembered Of dead soldier

WAS fixed upon the miniature likeness of two little
children. No trace existed of the name of the
soldier and the photograph of the children was ex.
tensively copied for the pirpose OF ascertaipine
their identity. Finally they were believed to be
children of Sergeant Humiston, Of Portville, New
Yosk, and the proceeds of the large sale Of the
Photographs were paid over to the family. Now
it appears the defunct Sergeant has turned up. hi.

REPORTED BLOCKADE RUNNER.-It has
been reported for day or two past that the
cargo OF wrecked blockade runner had arriv-
ed at this port On inquiry we learn that the
following are the circumstances:
British steamer Rebecca, of between forty
and fifty tons burthen, cleared from St. John,
N. b., for Nassau, and on the voyage was
wrecked on Monhegan. A portion Of her
cargo, consisting Of potatoes, apples, onions,
cheese, hats, &c, was saved and was brought
to this port by schooners FIeetwing and Mar
cena, which arrived last Saturday. The
wreck was sold at the island and the cargo
was directed by the owners to be sent to Port
land, consigned to Messrs. McGilvery, Ryan &
Davis, with request to them to look after it
and bond it. Oni its arrival here il was placed
in Government warehouse by order OF the
Collector, until the matter could be investi-
gated. saae
The report that the schooner was blockade
runner arose, probably, from confounding her
with the blockade runner steamer of the same
name. Still the schooner might have been in
tended for such voyage. The ST. John mer-
chants have done that thing before.
