POET II Y
A Morning Hymn.



BY CHARLES WESLEY.
Christ, whose glory fills the skies,
Christ, the true, the only Light,
Sun of Righteousness, arise,
Triumph Ger the shades of night:
Dayspring from on high, be near;
Daystar, in my heart appear.
Dark and cherries is the morn,
Unaccompanied by Thee;
Joyless is the days return,
Till Thy mercy's beams see;
Till they inward light impart,
Glad my eyes, and warm my hear'
Visit then this soul of mine, .;oe.
Pierce the gloom of sin and griei'
Fill me, Radiancy divine'
Scatter all my unbelief:
More and more Thyselt display,
Shining 10 the perfect Day.

The Recall.
BY BARRY CORNWALL.
Come againl Come againl
Sunshine cometh after rain
As lamp fed newly burneth,
Pleasure, who doth fly, returneth,
Scattering every cloud of pain.

Riseth in world of flowers,
CALLED by many vernal strain,
Come thou for whom tears are falling,
ana thousand tongues are calling!
Come again, o come again!
Like the sunshine after rain!

Governor wells as a Federal Officer.

Governor Wells assumption of the
authority and power which belong only
to the Federal officials, of promulgating
and putting in force an act of the Fed
eral Government, in advance of any
action on the part Of the proper agents
of that Government, excites general in
dignation, disgust and disquietude. He
has succeeded in creating an excitement,
in stirring up the passions of the factious
and turbulent class who surround him,
and in alarming the quiet and peaceful
citizens. 1t is but repetition of his
course previous to the riot of 1866. And
by the same means, by a fragrant as
sumption of power and authority. No
where is he given any power to promul-
gate to interpret or to give any practi-
cal effect to the acts of the Federal Gov
ernment. That duty will be per-
formed by other officials, in whom the
Ispeople have more confidence as to their
motives and intents-whom they do not
suspect of personal or selfish purposes,
or Of any desire to create tumult and
disturbance of the peace, and whose
orders will be peacefully obeyed by this
people, with such appeals to other civil
or judicial tribunals as the Constitution
and laws permit The authority or right
of Gov Wells in this matter is denied
In this, as in many other matters, he is
an audacious usurper and constant
cause of turmoil, irritation, insult and
wrong to this people--and the General
in command of this district could not do
a wiser, a more humane and judicious
act than to compel him to withdraw ints
his proper and constitutional sphere, and
leave the affairs of the Federal Govern
ment and the acts of Congress to be put
in force by the proper and responsible
officers designated by law for that pur-
pose
Let this be done~let Governor Wells
mind his own proper business, and wait
for the orders of his superiors in the
business of putting the act Of Congress
into operation, and we venture to say
that this community will exhibit itself the
same peace and law-abiding one, which
it always has been and always will be if
pestilent and disorganzing demagogues
and selfish and designing partisans can
be restrained and sileneed. .-Neao Or
