BY A.A. EARLE, EDITOR OF THE BARTON STANDARD
Awake. my harp too long thOu'st hung
Where weeping willows grow;
TOO long have been thy chords unstrung
And hushed by musIc's flow.
Too long thy minstrel voice hath slept,
TIN mould is on thy strings,
Aud like Il mo'h hath silence crept
To pluck the Tardiing's wings
Shall words of cheer inspire song,
We Of " the tunefltl Nine ?"
or Mercys melting strains pro'cng
Der all our hills Of pine?
shall politics be now our theme,
Or patriot zeal invite?
Bathe in Thoughts pellucid stream,
Or roam tile wales Of Night
None-noue of these shall wake the song
l That sets the soul ahame,
| Let Truths eternal strains protoug,
! Aye-speak the Christians shame.
I Twas harvest eve when last adown thy winding
stream straycd,
Each silver shining far Ger hill and grassy
glade,
The pale round moon, eIulgent, poured her rays Of
liquid light,
Is slowly, proudly mp she rolled, the peerless queen
of night.
The whispering winds that sadly sighed The sultry
summer day,
Now wantoned with thy Inpid drops, then sped
them their way;
Thy vins0mc waters caught the strain, and sweep
ing grand and free,
Together sang an anthem old as angel mnstreisy.

A.Eln,lE O.. GIyDNc5. A humorous
story Is told Of two prominent members of
the House Of Representatives., when the
onslaught Of Slavery first began t, assume
formidable proportions in Congress. Joshua
r. G;GIings Of Ohio and John Snyder Of
Pennsylvania, the latter pro-slavery Dem
ocrat and the former am Abolition leader,
who occupied one Of the double desks then
in use Daring the absence Of his associate
Snyder had a board partition placed down
the center of tie desk, designed t. satirlle

Giddings was surprised on his return, but
was to- fond OF "a practical joke to be outwit-
ted lie had two slips printed in large type
containing the wellknown couplet
Great Wit ~ madness nearly is allied.
And thin partitions dO their bounds divide.
These he posted on each side Of the divs-
iou. The laugh was now against snyder,
and the PARTITION was promptly removed.

The Danville(Va )Rcgistcr gives
the following:
"The tobacco crop has been cut
and housed, and much Of it is nj
ready cured. 1t has been all along
predicted that The yield of this ycal
would be inferior in quality and
short in quantity, and now that it
has boon carried in, the result only
loo puIbaly v~crilies the prediction
In the outset q full crop could not
be pitched for want Ct p ants and
tho folds suffered severely from
drought later in the season and
now, at the critical period, the great
terror of the planter, and fatal enc
my ofthe weed, tic frost, has done its
part toward the general misfor
tunes"
"Some of the fields in the low
grounds were badly damaged by
the frosts some two wees ago but
a greater loss than this was sustain
cd because Of the cold snap at the
time, alarming many farmers, who
taking counsel Of their fears, cut
thor tobacco green. As well as we
can gather, II great deal Of tho crop
hns been thus cut before it vas ripe,
and Of course the result will be Il
large propotion of dark and green
lsaf in the market next year, with
\ comparative small quantity Of
good working qualities and bright
yellow. Some farmers who we c
very fortunate in pitching their
crop early, have made and cured
fne tobacco, but we think they are
an exception"

SLEEP WALKERS. s@

A gentleman in Illinois writes the fol-
lowing to the Scientific Americon:
My observation has led me to believe
that sleep walking is q habit of the sys.
tenn.
l have noticed that children who are
allowed to go to sleep on the floor or
lounge, in the evening, and afterward, at
some regular hour, are aroused (of course
only partially awskened) and sent TO bed,
Will in time acquire the habit of sleep
walking. have no doubt that the man
mentioned in the Scientific american,
OF July %, who would get up snd 90 to
The cellar in the night for drink of wine
while asleep, had been in the habit of
trst going for it, in the night time, while
awake. presume that few have failed
to notice how soon the mind, by dreams,
viii recognize habit of waking a. par
ticular time Tor any purpose.
l think that the whole philosophy of
sleep walking has its foundation in habit,
acquired by disturbance at some regular
hour devoted to sleep.

In DOS not follow necessarily or as 8
matter of course, because the head of an
Administration knows nothing of consti-
tutionsl law, is an ignoramus in all civil
matters, and stumbles and bluuders in
political management, that his suboEdi-
mates in lhe Government, heads of depart
menis Abd officials of inferior rank, must
be ire ,mpetent and unfit for the places
they fill. Ard yet it is natural, if not
inevitable, that the character of an Ad-
ministration should partake of that of its
CHIEF; that its individual members should
think AID act IN conformity with his
views, and that its average intelligence
and statesmanship should not rise much
above his scope and comprehension.
