The Clear Vision.
BY JOHN @. WHITTIER.

BY JOHN O. WHITTIER.
did but dream. never knew
What charms our .tcrnesf ssason wore.
Was never yet the sky 30 blue,
Was never earth 90 white before.
Till now I neysr saw the glow
OF sunset on yo7 hills Of snow,
And never learned the boug CHS designs
Ofbcauty in il. ieafess lines.
Did ever such morning break
AZ that my eastern windows see :?
bid ever such a moonlight take
Weird photographs Of shrub and tree
Rang ever bells so Wild and feet
The music Of the winter streety
Was ever yet sound by half
So merry ar yon schooiboys laugh
0 Earth with gladncss overfraugbt,
No dded charm thy face hath found
Within my heart the change is wrought.
Nv footsteps make enchanted ground
NV couch of pain and curtained room
Forth TO thy light and air come,
To find in all that meets my eyes
The freshness Of glad surprise.
Fair seems these wintry days and soon
Shall blow the warm west winds Of sprin z
To set the unbound rils in tune,
And hither urge the blae-bird's wing.
The wales shall laugh in flowers, the
woods
Grow misty green With lcafng buds
And yiolets and windaowers sway
Against the throbblhg heart of Nay
Break forth my lips. in praise and swn
The wiser love severely kind
Since, richer for lis Christening grown,
/ see. wercas once was blind.
The world, o Father hath no. wron gei,
With loss the life by thee proloned
But STILL with every aided year,
More beautiful thy works appear
AS thou hast made thy world without
Make thou more fair my world within !;
Shine through its lingering clouds Of doubt
Rebuke It's haunting shapes Of sin
Fill, brief. ere long, my granted fpan
OF life with love to thee and man;
Strike when thou wilt the hour Of st.
But let my iast days be my best

NATIONAL LINCOLN MONUMENT As
soCIATIoN.--oHra attention was yester-
day called to the fact that subscription
books are now in the hands Of Captain
Rawlibg, Post Master, who Will cheer
fully receive and forward to the proper
destination all sums contributed by
our citizens towards erecting a monu-
ment In Washington City to the memo
ry of the martyr President. The asso-
citation is organized nnder an act of
Congress passed in March, 1867, and
numbers among its corporators quite a
number of the prominent men of the
country, both in Church and state.
The design was prepared by Clark
Mills, Esq. the celebrated sculptor, and
the monument will excel, when COM
Pleted, anything of the kind yet at
tempted in this country. The whole
structure will be seventy feet high, sur
mounted by thirty i've colossal bronze
figures. It's construction will be TRAN
guINr, the base OF which admits three
groups, representing slavery.
Our limited space fofbids our entering
further into the details. Capt. II. will
take pleasure in furnishing all the in
formation In his possession, and, as
before remarked, will be most happy to
send forward all contributions.

AQUEoUs.-we are Informed by sew
eral persons, who evidently imagine
themselves quaiiaed to give testimony
on the subject, that 1t rained yesterday.
1t Is our decided opinion that this de-
partment yesterday absorbed more
moisture (externally), and collected a
grealer amount of mud on It's shoes
than any corresponding amount of hui
nanity IN the city, and consequently is
capable of deciding that IT did rain.
