Are gone this many a day,
But III the mornings still you hear

And big and bright is the sun

A garment of beauty has spun;

H3V31at thing is nature? Well don't
Assume to make clatter,
GIGke Hegel, Hamilton and Comte,
Concerning mind and matter.
Yet, T. have had my thoughts at times;
And, since you ask the question,
III 6eli you what think in rhymes
THAT won't hurt your dlgesuon:
Nature IL a growth coming forth
Into new fashion ever,
Or That whose substance knows no birth,
Whose virtue dieth never.
What substance? That which to define
NV grasping reason smothers;
Eyut what is best call divine,
And worship God with others.
You're materialist? Not at all;
LII should seek to find
The best name for what best call,
I'd rather call it mind.
And mind is one, and what we call
The many is but one,
AS million rays shoot from the ball
OF tn light-eyolving sun.
But not to dogmas incline;
And, think me not unwise,
Who fear and love, but not define,
The Power that shapes the skies.
And you, sir doctor, are fool,
With logical appliance,
That would take God into your school,
And teach Him terms of science;
And talk of nature, God and man,
With technic demonstration,
AS if yourself had sketched the plan
OF boundless, vast creation;
And dress mean thoughts in phrases grand,
And prove with solemn chatter
That you have got, in your clumsy hand,
Two things called mind and matter.
Go to you know not this nor that
Man has no measuring rod
For nature, force, and law, and what
The wisest men call God. s.
For law and life, and all the course
OF lovely, shifting nature,
All but the play of one wise Force,
Which Moses called Creator.
Think on your knees tits better so
Than without wings to soar;
What blinking reason strains to know
We find when we adore.

MOLLY.

Here's health to merry Molly,
With her pretty face and jolly,
When with whom 'twere sheerest folly
Even to dream of melancholy!
With her manners so coquettish-
Half persuading and half pettish,
And her airs so self-relying,
That she seems mankind defying.
She's dangerous, witching creature
Mischief turks in every feature,
And her laughing eye expresses
More than lip or tongue confessesi

ROCkLAND.


RocKLAND. September %. Captain Samuel
Gross Of the schooner Commonwealth, was found
dead in the cabin of his vessel at Atlantic wharf
this afternoon. The Commonwealth sailed hence
with lime for Boston on Thursday, Captain Gross
and two sons, fifteen and twelve years of age, be.
ing the only persons on board The same even.
ing signs were discovered that the lime in the
hold was on fire, and the vessel was plastured up
and the cabin closed. The captain and his sons
remained on deck till four o'clock 10 the morning
when, at the suggestion of the father the BOYS
lay down to get some sleep. When they woke at
six O'Clock, Captain Gross could not be found and
was believed TO have fallen overheard and been
drowned. The lads brought the schooner back to
this port, arriving yesterday afternoon. To-day
the vessel deck load was removed. and one of
the men on board, looking through the cabin win
dow, discovered the captains body within. A
coroner and surgeon was summoned, but an in
quest was deemed unnecessary. The deceased
doubtless went into the cabin for something, clos
ing the companionway slide over his head with
the design of excluding the draft of air, when he
was overcome by the carbonc acid gas from the
lime on fire and asphyxiated.

Our readers have BY this time become quite
familiar with the exploits of Eugene Blair an
augusta boy" but who for some time has been
manager for Wells, Fargo x Co.'S Express in
Nevada. He has had rough and tumble exper-
ience and passed through numerous hair-bredth
!. escapes. lie seems to be made of such stuff as
they us in the getting up of heroes of the true
mettlc. For eleven years he has encoun-
tered many rough and desperate characters in
that new country that is wanting so much in the
graces of civilization. His red hot, hand-to- hand
encounters with stage robbers and murderers
have proved his courage and given HIM a wide
reputation. The Eureka Daily Sentinel of Sept.
9TH, has the following account Of a scene in which
Eugene was the conspucous hero
10 about an hours time the stage came rafting
up to the barn, and as the driver checked the
horses, voice yelled out in the gloom, Eugene
Blair, surrender" The box seat was occupied by
Jack Perry, driver, and Eugene Blair and James
Brown, Wells, Fargo K Co.'S messengers They
heard the demand, and for a moment thought it
was joke, but, as the words were repeated in a
more peremptory tone, they realized that the own
er OF the voice meant business. Blair immediate
ly swung himself to the ground, and as his feet
reached IT, he was sauted by double discharge
of shotguns, one from the rear of the wagon,
in front of him. lie caught sight of man and
returned the fire. when he lost sight of the man
again in the smoke. lie was made aware of the
fellow close vicinity, however. by feeling the
muzzle OF shotgun strike up against his breast.
lie gfasped the barrel Of the gun, the fellow pull
ing frsnticay at the wrong trigger meanwhile,
and swung his man around to the front of him.
Brown caught sight of the highwayman as he
came into the light of the coach lamp, and, lean
ing over the box, gave him the contents OF his
shotgun Kidding him with buckshot. The rob-
Der, who had glasped Blair by the coat-collar,
relaxed his hold and tell to the ground As
Brown put his foot on the wheel to alight, the
the leg inficting a severe wound. Both Brown
and Blair returned the fire, when the highwayman
took to his heels and escaped in the darkness.
The third man had not put in appearance dur
ing the affray, and it was supposed that he was
holding the horses. The tracks where they rode
off into the sagebrush were found the next morn
ing.

ments being in and around Paris, are without any
official candidate. There may of course be some
slight errors in this classification but there can be
