The poet would say, GAN nature weeps"
to-day for there is not sunny spot the eve
can rest upon as the rain comes pouring down.
IL is one of those gushing spring showers which
Tails too copiousy to last long, and which is
sure to bring floods of sunshine after, ripening
the ruby hearts of the June roses, and SO mel
lowing the bosom of the earth, that all the
sweet flowers emerge at pleasure from their
winter nights sleep, into the atmosphere and
sunlight of God. What sublime lessons
Nature would teach us in these alterations of
sunlight and showerl How emblematical of
human lille and its fluctuations, are these
changes in the natural world, which
come so timely, and bring such
happy results. United to these ALI.
ances of change, are also temporal excep-
tons, both sad and beneficial to remember.
Spring brings every thing in nature back to us,
which is lost in autumn. From the brave old
yerdure clad heroes of the primeval forest, to
the tenderest shrubs and flowers of our own
planting in garden or ornamental grounds, all
are carefully restored, and in their resurrec-
tion we miss nothing characteristic of them,
in fragrance or bloom. How is it with the buds
and blossoms 10 the garden of our hearts?
Where are the household treasures so carefully
nurtured, so tenderly guarded against the
storms of life The song of the spring birds
heralds the return of everything save the
lost voices and musical football of our
dead What train of beautiful beings
we can number, who, folded in their snowy
robes, are TRANQUILITY sleeping under world
of flowers, with their faces turned heavenward
awaiting the spring. When will their resur-
rection come? Methinks after their long, re-
ireshng sleep, they will come forth too Beau
tiful for earth, and in their dreams of immor-
tai loneliness we may trustingly leave them;
for the hand that paints anew the earth, the
sea and sky, in harmony with the changing
seasons, will not suffer His children to perish
10 their winters sleep. lone.

The Mechanics aud the Enquirer.
TO the Editor Of the State journal.
The threatening attitude of the Enquirer
toward the Richmond mechanics will most
certainly fail to accomplish the results aimed
at BY that brow-beating journal. The me-
chanics of this city and elsewhere are being
aroused to the great Importance of protection
against old fogyism and heartless capitalists
The Enquirer contends that a majority of the
present Council are mechanics. Admitting
this to be true, what evidence ia there TO sus.
tain the fact that this majority ever exerted
itself 10 the least to protect brother mechanics
from wrong and injustice This meritorious
class of citizens each have q remedy in the
ballot-box for whatever wrongs and oppression
they suffer. The elective franchise was given
TO meet just such cases as the one mechanics
now present to the people of Richmond
They have votes, and the opportunity 10
near at hand when they can cast them for their
own benefit. The calm and intelligent use of
the ballot is becoming mighty revolutionizer
in the interest of the heretofore neglected but
worthy and Industrious laboring man. Sooner
or later, heartless corporations and heartless
individuals controlling capital will discover
that the mechanics have rights which must be
respected. No party can escape the just casti.
CATION of the ballot that opposes them. An
American statesman once said: "That coun-
try Is most prosperous where labor received it's
greatest reward" This man was undoubtedly
a better friend of the laboring class than the
editorial columns of the Enquirer. When
seeking to advance his interests so Justly de-
handing the highest consideration due worthy
American citizens heretofore, the mechanic
received little or no sympathy or support
from the party the Enquirer represents.
