Thou, my friend at fostal board
Swell the strain with sweet accord
Comes the Rose as breath of heaven,
Precious boon TO mortals given;
She, the GraCeS lair adjoining
In Loves maly-lJwrrud morning,
Is to Venus, charming Queen,
Fitting play.hing too, wecn
To each Nymph Of fount or grove
Object she Of tcnhercSt love;

Tuneful, all her triumphs tell.
Dear her smile TO those who take
Errant-path by thorny brake:
Dear TO him by whom possessed
And with foniling fingers prcssh,
She, her cd rous sweets distlling,
His spirit is with incense filling.
Charming she, in youth or age,

Whilst wherein the board is spread
Her blushng blossoms perfume shed,
Der the frugal feast now shining
Now the Bacchant's temples twiuing
For, what pleasure delight
Without the Rose SO sweet and bright!
Aurora, goddess Of the day.
Is rosy-tingerd, poets say;
The Nymphs display mid varied charms
ROscutc tintS on rounded arms.
But on Venus dimplel cheek
Her soltest blush the bard will seek.
When lo's bloom and vigOr fail,
Welcome she to sufferer pale;
She cheers the sick mans darBcnGi room,
Decks the corpse and wrcathcs the tomb.
Dcvouring time and stern decay
Cannot steal her charms away;
To rare old age Of Roses cling
0dors of their youths sweet spring.
Come, then, let our numbers tell
Whence the Rose VIC love we'll
When from tho rejoicing walks,
Faircst of Old Oceans daughters,
Cytherna, dcwGd with foam,
Rose from her paternal home
And when Jove from cloven head,
Displayed Athena warrior dread,

Quckcnd at the wondrous sight,
Forth, from fertile womb of earth,
Curious and astounding birth
A myriad blooming Roses sprang
Brighter than poet saw or sang.

WHO SHALL BE VICE President?
We gave our views last week in re-
lation to the candidacy of the repub-
leans in the next election, wherein we
declared our preference for ColfaX for
president. We now nominate Hon.
Luke p. Poland of Vermont for vice
president. As a presiding officer We
suppose no one will question the fit.
ness Of Judge Poland, nor will any
one say that he has his superior for
that place. He would give to that
Office a grace and a dignity peculiarly
his own. As a man of ability no one
will say aught to controyert it. We
believe there are few better intellectS
than Judge Poland possesses, while
we regard him sound upon all the
leading issues that now agitate tho
public mind. A Vermonter, all Yer
monters should feel just pride il
seeing him elected to that or any 9th

A New LAW ABOUT MARRIAGE
Among the laws enacted by the recent
legislature-peace to its ashes-was
one in relation to the important and
ricklish subject of marriage; and as
the season of cold nights and frequent
marriages has now fairly set in, it may
be well for.all who are exposed to be
married to notice the provisions of the
new law. 1t provides that marriages
may be solemnized by justices OF the
peace as heretofore, and also "by any
minister of the gospel, who has been
ordained according to the usage of biz
denomination, and who resides in thi,
state, and continues to preach the Cos
| pei and to perform the other functions
Of his Office" The pinch of the Law

is in that last sentence. 1t has been
quite common for ministers to contin-
ne to solemnize marriages after they
have given up preaching and every
thing else that belongs to the minis
try; but this law operates as prohi-
bition OF any such marriages in the
future, and in order to keep ex minis
tiers under wholesome restraint, it
makes them liable to fine of twenty
dollars for each violation. Instead Of
such prohibitory law, wouldn't it be
