especially upon the revenue Of the Gov
eminent, in exempting from port duties
a large tract of the territory upon our
borders, have not only been fruitIess, out
that it is even proposed in that country to
extend the limits within which the priv

subject, and serious consideration for
counteracting the policy referred to, viii,
it is presumed, engage your earnest atten-

been reached for the adjustment of the

of the course adopted by that government

The Old Church.
BY wM. NJ. HOOPER.

l hive wandered fur over mountains and plains,
And I've walked through the aislcs of the proud
est Of fanes:
But tho old church at homo have never forgot,
And the place where it stands is lallowcd spot,
No towers, nor columns, nor sculptures adorn
This solemn old temple time honorcd and worn,
But plain ms its service and simple as they
Who meet there OF yorc and who meet there to-
day.
All we'll remember when life vas SO new
Ana opened bright visions Of home to my view
when Sabbath dny sunlight, like angelic smiles
lllumined with the glory of heaven its aises;
And over its altar halo was shed,
That cleaned like crown ON the minister's
head
The old songs Of Zion had melody then,
And hear their sweet echos again and again
And often live over the bliss Of those years
Ere sorrow had opened its chnlicc Of tears.
Old church Of my fathers thai altar Of thine
The pleasures Of faith and Of memory cnshrnc ;
There covenant water children was shed;
There pcntcns knelt, and there lovers were
we'd
And there where the parents for children have
pmyct,
The cold forms of parents and children were laid.
There innocent childhood first stepped on the
scene,
But now full Of years on its staff it must lean
My cherished companions of chdhood's glad day
Bear traces Of winter in sprinkcs of grey.
The once merry faces of tirlhood race
In plain. modest women of matronly grace
The fathers and mothers loved oh ! so well,
Have dropped from their posts but in armor they
fell.

A SAFE IN VES Il NJ L N II.

In the second year Of the late civil war,
was married, and went to i've with my hus
band in small village on the Hudson, some
fifty or sixty miles from New York The
house VIC occupied was large, rambling
mansion, of considerable antiquity for this
country, and stood little apart from the rest
of the village, sure undcd hy broad fields,
apd commanding glorious view OF the river
and the hills of the Highlands 1t had been
built before the Revolution, by NY husbands
great grandfather, and, though destitute OF
many "modern improvements" was still
comfortable aud pleasant residence.
My husband was a lawyer and Il large real
estate owner in the neighborhood, and, at the
period of which write, was greatly pcrpl"xcd,
like many other persons in the North, by the
perilous state OF the times. ard especially
about the safe Investment Of his funds, as the
suspension of specie payments the great rise
in gold, and tho military disasters in Virgin
Ia, made it almost impossible 10 tell where it
would be safe to deposit Or to use ones money
in nny large amount.
In the course Of his transactions in real es
tate, it happened, one day that he received
what was for us then large sum, about ten

the other side of tho river, and should not be
at home until about midnight.

was standing at tho door, and drove away,
taking with him our hired man Silas, and
leaving me with no ono in the house but Di,

modest household the functions Of cook and
maid ofal.work, as she had long done in the

other faults might be, sho was strong on the
point Of locomotion. For when she had been
moving with ponderous slowness, aim at
