SOMETIME.

Sometime, when all HES lessons have been lcarn'd
And sun aud stars iorevermore have set,
The things which our weak judgment here have
spurned,
The things Ger which we grievcd with lashes
wet,
VIII fash before u.s. out Of lifSs dark night,
As stars shine most 10 deeper tints Of blue;
And we shall see how all Gods plans were right,
And how what seemed reproof, was love most
true.
And we shall see how. while we frown and sigh,
Gods plans go on as best for you and me;
How, when we called, he needed no, our cry,
Because bis wisdom 10 the end could see.
And eco a, prudent parents disalow
Too mnC + sweet to craving babyhood,
So God. perhaps, is Keeping from us now
LIES sweetest things because /, see-r1th good.

Where human kisses cannot reach his face,
Oh do not blame the loving Father so,
Bat wear your sorrow With obedent grace.
And you shall shortly know thst length ened

And stand within, and all Gods workings see,

WORD TO DOUBTFpS

There is a good old Elksiash maxim
that teaches US to ..bslieve every man
honest until we know him to be vii
lain." American custom seems to have
reversed this law and appears to make
every man villain until he has proved
himself an honest man. AS with peo-
pie, so with things. Every article
placed in our markets can lay claim to
popular favor upon intrinsic merit and
value alone. Continued popularity,
therefore, is proof positive Of intrinsic
excellence. DIR. Piercs's Family RENE.
dies are far more popular to-day than
ever before. The people have tested
them and know them to be genuine
remedies for the diseases they are re-
commended to cure. The Golden Med
ical Discovery and Purgative Pellets are
the best Alternative, tonic, and cathartic
remedies that can be used in chronic
diseases of the stomach and liver. The
worldwide popularity of the Favorite
Prescription, as a never-failing remedy
for Female Diseases, would have alone
secured to its discOverer the fame he has
so richly won. DR.. Sage's Catarrh Rem
edy, of which DIR. Pierce is also proprle-
tor, is recommended by those who have
tested its virtues as a safe and reliable
remedy for catarrh in its worst forms.

All! here it is! am famous now.
An author and poet!
It really is in print! Ye gods!
How proud I'll b to show it!
And gentle Anna! what thrill
Will animate her breast,
To read these ardent lines and know
To whom they are addressed.
Why, bless my soul! here's something strange
What can the paper mean
By talking of the graceful brooks
That ga,,der DER the green?
And here's a t instead Off.
Which makes it "tippling riU,"
Well seek the 'shcd" instead of "shade,''
And "help' instead of "hiU.'
"They look so''-What! I recollect
Twas "sweet' and then twas "kind,"
And now to think the stupid fool
For "bland" has printed "blind;"
Was ever such provoking work.
IT'S curious, bye the bye,
How anything Is rendered blind
BY giving it an eye O.
"Has't thou no tears" the is left out
"Hast thou no ears instead.
81 hope that thou art dear" Is put
ST hope that thou art dead"
Whoever saw in such space
So many blunders crammed?
''Those gentle eyes bedimmed" are spelt
''Thoss gentle eyes bedamned."
The color of the "rose" is "nose,"
affection" is 'affliction
1 wonder if the likeness holds
In fact well as dicticn?
''Thou art friend" the is gone,
Who ever would have deemed
That such a tri1ing thing could change
A "friend" into "fend ?"
"Thou art the same" is rendered "lame,'
1t really is too bad,
And here because an is out
"My lovely maid' is "mad;"
They drove her blind by poking in
An eye, process new,
And now they've gouged it out again.
And made her crazy too.
"Where are the muses. fled that thou
Should'stlive so long unsung?"
Thus read my version, here it is
Should'st live SO long "unhung7"

An h commences fate,
How small a circumstance Will turn
A woman's love to hate.
I'll read no more! what shall I do?
I'll never dare 10 send it,
The papers scattered far and wide
IT'S now too late to mend it.
o fame, thou cheat of human bliss!
Why did ever write?
wish my poem had bean burnt
Before it saw the light.
Let's stop and recapitulate-
I've damned her eyes, that's plain,
I've told her she's a tanatic,
And blind, an deaf, and lame;;
Was ever such horrid hash
In poetry or prose?
I've said she was Jiend, and praised
The color of her nose.

And with an begin it

they call u dyke, extending all along
the coast. What they are most trou-
bled with is largo species Of rat
which burrows under and makes holes
through their dyke. Now rat hole
is not very alarming thing in itself f;
but the action Of the water makes IL
larger every moment. If it be neg.
lectcd for a single night, by tho time
the morning dawns, tho rat hole has
widened into huge creDGSse, The ocean

If tho smallest breach is once made in
it, "the ever toiling wave of arbitrary
power which is continually surging
up against it, will constantly enlarge
it until all protection Of our rights il
washed away / tell you gentlemen,
II you desire TO save one remnant Of
your liberties, you must watch the
rat holes IN your Constitution.
But there is n necessity, some tell
us, for these violations Of law. 1t is
wonderful that any man possessed OF
reason could be imposed on by an ex-
cuse so weak, 80 shallow and SO child

urged rs q reason Tor acts that every
body condemned it has never in all
the worlds history, had the sanction Of
one true patriot, or one great states.
man but it has been branded as "the
tyrants plea" by the universal sense of
all mankind. By all our ancestors in
the old world, by all our revolutionary
heroes, by all who administered our
government heretofore, the necessity
was always thought to be precisely
the other way. The supreme necessity
which presided over all others was
obedience to the law. That is the
very purpose and the only purpose for
which magistrates are chosen. When
q man who is appointed and sworn to
guard the laws and see them faithfully
executed, tells you that he will neces-
sarily violate them himself and en-.
courage others to do likewise, your
plain and obvious answer must be that
he is not fit for his business.
All these heresles must be extirpated
before we can hope for peace, or pro-
lection, or Union or prosperity. But
the election Of Woodward will be the
iorerunner Of National triumph for
the Democratic party. When that
happens, though we cannot certainly
promise, we can reasonably hope for a
restoration OF the Union. If our
Abolition enemies leave the country

this great nation viii start on "A new
