MOONLIGHT ON THE BEA
DY SIDNEY DYER
Oh, come at night when all is calm—
Then, dearest, come with me,
That we may feel the witching charm
Of moonlight on the sea.
The stars are on the deep below
And in the skies above ; -
Oh, come and thus shall be the glow
That lights our world of love
Oh, come amid the hush of night-- •
Then, dearest, come with me,
And you shall taste the sweet delight
Of moonlight on the sea.
No billow curls the ocean's breast
No oloud is in the sky
Oh, come and thus shall be the rest
For which our bosoms sigh.
Oh, come in such an hour as this—
Come, dearest, come to me ;
Therd is a sweet and trangail bliss.
In moonlight on the sea.
When stars are on the deep below,
And in the skies above ;
Then, come, and thus shall be the glow
That lights our world of love.
I A\l NUT OLD
I am not old, though years have mot.
Their shadows on my way ;
I am not old, though youth hill lo&l.ed
On rapid wings away ;
For in my heart a fountain flows,
And round it pleasant. thoughts repose;
And sympathies and feelings high
Spring like the stars on evening's sky
I am not old—Time may have set
4 , 111 s signet on my brow,'
And'some faint furrows there have met,
Which care may deepen now ,
Yet love, fond love, a chaplet weaves,
Of fresh young buds and verdant leaves ;
And still in fancy I can twine
Thoughts sweet as flowers that once was mine
ANNIE LEE; OR,
SONG
BY KATE RANDOLPiI
Annie Lee was a poetess. Nature made
her one, and She sung as the bird sings,
and the flower sends out fragrance. She
livedwith her parents in the beautifurcoun
try. •-•
Annie had many admirers. The old
loved her for her sweetness and simplicity.
She had lovers, too, men of refinement and
culture, who looked down into her young
heart, and saw the treasure that lay at the
bottom. But as yet Annie loved no one
than her parents; she sung her songs from
out a gushing soul, and rejoiced the hearts,
and made beautiful the lives of all who
came near her.
One summer day, as Annie sat sewing
and chatting with her mother, they saw
from the window a stranger guest approach
ing the cottage. It was Earnest May, an
old friend who had been absent for ten
years from his native country. He had
returned with a mind richly stored with
experience and knowledge gained from
abroad. Ten years before he had taken
Annie Lee in his arm and petted her an a
pretty and gifted child as she really was.
He was then a young man of twenty, An
nie a child of seven years.
Annie looked about the face of their
guest, and wondered how she could have
forgotten her old friend. Earnest looked
into the beautiful poetic eyes of the lovely
girl; an& thought he had never seen, even
under the Italy's fair skies, a more attrac
tive face. The visit was brief, and soon
came to an end. Earnest May went to
his life of study and thought. Annie, still
a cottage girl, went more often into the
deep wild woods, to weave into graceful
songs the fancies that crowded her brain.
A new aspiration had come to the young
girl with the
_presence of the stranger. A
cord hitherto untouched now thrilled in
its strange melody, and Annie's song was
more complese and. harmonious.
Earnest May-was not a declared lover.
He was ever calm and dignified in his affec
tion for Annie. He may have loved the
beautiful child, but how well no one could
tell : perhaps he thought only of her as a
gifted child of song, and so lingered in her
presence, chained by sympathy of mind
over mind.
Annie did not ask herself if Earnest
loved her. She only felt his kindness, and
was blest in her own absorbing passion.
One summer day Annie was surpfised by
the arrival of Earnest. She had not been
warned of his approach, and she sprang
over the door sill with a light almost wild
step; to welcome him.
"ion did not tell me you was coming
Earnest, and now I am more glad that you
did not, for this surprise is very sweet.
"I have come sooner than I thought to,
for I have something to say to you, Annie.
I love most tenderly, even passionately, a
lovely girl. Do not turn your eyes from
me, I am sure you are my good friend.
"Is she very beautiful Earnest, said
Annie, trembling.
c All, yes, Annie, more beautiful than
even your own wildest fancy ever wove
into song. Will you, dear child, when
you are in the glow oiyour highest imagi
nation, write a bridal song? and let it be
more rich in beauty than the sky is at mid
night with stars. Oh, Annie, she is di
vinely beautiful, for a gifted soul looks out
of the soft features, and tinges the smiles
and lights the eye with more than human
beauty. Will you not rejoice with me,
that at last I can see with a lover's vision
that the scales have all fallen from dead
eyes, and now everywhere see newness of
life.
Annie was silent; she did not say she
rejoiced in her friend's happiness.
"Forgive me, Annie, for withholding
this secret from you so long. It was sweet
to keep it in my soul and gloat over it, and
look at it with a miser's eye. You forgive
me, Annie ?"
" Yes, yes, I forgive."
Earnest and Annie did not meet again
till the family circle were gathered for the
evening. Earnest sat apart from Annie,
and engaged the old people in pleasant
conversation. Annie listened, but looked
out into the night on the soft moonlight on
the green sloping bank. She was exerting
a more than physical power over her
thoughts, and striving to beat hack the low
rumblings of the tumult that in her young
ardent nature was bursting into fresh re
bellion.
The effort was too great. A dizziness
stole into Annie's over-taxed brain. She
saw the trees dancing, the brook waving
backward and forward, and the moonlight
shadow swam before her eyes. She uttered
a faint cry, and would have fallen - from her
seat, had not Earnest who had been watch
ing her intently, sprang forward and caught
her in his arms
They took Annie to her bed.
The powerful excitement of the day, with
her effort to conquer it, had created fever
in her veine and her brain. For a week
Annie lay in great danger.
In her unconscious state, Annie talked
constantly of Earnest, of his beautiful bride
and of her own grief. Sometimes she
would fancy she was preparing the bridal
wreath, and would call for fresh flowers
from the brook. Again she would repeat
the words of Earnest:
44 Ah, Annie, she is more beautiful than
your wildest fancy ever wrote into song."
Then she would improvise rhyme, saying
"this shall be the bridal song. I will not
be the haughty child of my dear friend.—
I will write him a bridal song, and sing it
too at his wedding."
Earnest at such times, would listen with
the deepest feeling to all those revelations
of her poetic soul. He wrote on his tablks
each line of thel3weet verse she had named
the "bridal song." He was never absent
froM her side, and the first object that An
nie saw on the return of consciousness was
Earnest May. She held out her thin white
hand to him and tried to speak her thanks
for his presence.
Many weeks of weariness and languor
came to the poor sick girl ere she could
leave her bed. There seemed to be some
thing holding her back from health. Her
mind was not quite at rest.
Earnest read the soul of the young girl,
and on each day felt more than ever like a
guilty wretch who bad crushed in his rude
hand a beautiful and fragile flower. Well
as he had imagined he had understood her,
he found he had no conception of the ex
treme delicacy and sensitiveness of her na
ture. No attention or kindness from him
could in any way wipe out the great wrong
he had done her. But what was in his
power to give he gave with earnestness
and devotion. It was he who sat by her
bedside, and strove by pleasant cmversa
tion and reading to entice her back to
health and cheerfulness. His arm bore
her slight frame from the sick chamber in
to the genial sunshine.
Nor was Earnest wholly unsuccessful in
his efforts to restore Annie to health ; and
when the soft air touch her pale cheek,
there sprang up again in her•soul a desire
to live, if but to revel in the beauty of na
ture.
TIIE BRIDAL
One day Earnest bore Annie into the
garden arbor. Annie was still weak, and
very pale, from the effect of her long ill
ness. She seemed as fragile as an infant
in the arms of the strong man. How
slight a breath might nip the beautiful
flower; and yet a strong will was beating
in her bosom, and a brave heart was in
that frail tenement, that was buoying her
on the wave of destiny, and would surely
bear her safely to some protecting harbor.
Earnest drew from his bosom a tablet
upon which were inscribed the lines of the
song improved in Annie's delirium. He
commenced reading it to Annie, who . sat
perfectly absorbed in the strange mystery.
The rhyme, the thought was hers, but how
could she account for the treable lines
Earnest closed the verse, and replaced
the tablet, then said in a low voice.:
"Annie, this is our bridal song
Annie turned her beautiful eyes into the
face of Earnest, as if to read the meaning
of his words.
"Dear Annie," whydid youlet your wild
wayward heart mislead you, when I strove
to tell you my love for you.
"Your love for me, dear Earnest ! you
said she whom you loved was very beauti
ful and gifted."
"And so she is, sweet Annie. Who,
Annie, but you could have inspired such
love as has blessed, and well nigh wrecked
my life." •
"And is it me, dear Earnest, that you
love so tenderly, so passionately ?" And
the poor girl buried her face in the bosom
of Earnest and wept, the first happy tears
that had touched her cheeks for many
long, weary weeks.
You, and you only, my beautiful child!"
and Earnest raised the small head from
his bosom, and kissed away the tears as he
playfully said :
"Haste, Annie, and soon be well, for I
long to sing the bridal song."
Reader, is the story told ?"
THE FALL OF JERUSALEM
One of the most splendid sketches it has
ever been our fortune to pursue, is that by
Croly, who in one of his works, thus des
cribes the fall of Jerusalem
The fall of our illustrious and happy city
was supernatural. The destruction of the
conquered was against the first principles
of the Roman policy ; and to the last hour
of our national existence, Rome held out
offers of peace, and lamented our frantic
disposition to be undone. But the decree
had gone forth from a mightier throne.—
During the latter days of the siege, a hos
tility, to which that of man was a grain of
sand to the tempest that drives it on,
overpowered our strength and senses.—
Fearful shapes and voices in the air; vis
ions startling us from our short and troub
led sleep ; lunacy in its hideous forms ; sud
dendeath in the midst of vigor ; the fury of
the elements let loose upon unsheltered
heads—we had every terror and evil that
could beset human nature, pestilence, the
most probable of all in a city crowded
with the famishing,the diseased,the wound
ed and the dead. Yet, though the streets
were covered with unburied bodies ; though
every well and trench was teeming with
them ; though six hundred thousand corps
es lay flung over the rampars and naked to
the sun—pestilence came not, for, if it
had come, the enemy would have been
scared away. But cc the abomination of
desolation," the pagan standard was fixed;
it was to remain until the plough had
passed over the city of Jerusalem. On
this fatal night, no. man laid his head upon
his pillow. Heaven and earth were in
conflict. Meteors burned above us ; the
ground shook under our feet; the volcano
blazed ; the wind burst forth in irresistable
blasts, and swept the living and the dead,
in whirlwinds, far into the desert. We
heard the bellowing of the distant Medi
terreanean, as if its waters were at our
side, swelled by the deluge. The lakes
and rivers roared, and inundated the land.
The fiery sword shot out ten, fold fire.—
Thunder pealed from every quarter of the
heavens. Lightning, in immense sheets,
of an intensity and duration that turned
the darknass into more than day, withering
eye and soul, burned from the zenith to
the ground, and marked its track by forests
of flame and shattered the summits of the
hills.
" THAT COUNTRY IS THE MOST PROSPEROEB WHERE LABOR COMMANDS THE GREATEST REWARD."-BUCHANAN
LANCASTER CITY, PA., TUESDAY MORNING, APRIL 22, 1856.
Defence was nnthought of, for the mor
tal enemy had passed from the mind. Our
hearts quaked with fear; but it was to see
the powers of heaven shaken. All cast
away the shield and the spear, and crouch
ed before the descending judgment. We
we were conscience smitten. Our cries of
remorse, anguish, and horror, were heard
through the uproar of the storm. We
howled to the caverns to hide us, we plung
into sepulchres to escape the wrath that
consumed the living; we would have bur
ied ourselves under the mountains.
I knew the cause, the unspeakable cause,
and knew the last hour of crime was at
hand. A few fugitives, astonished to see
one man among them not sunk into the
lowest feebleness of fear, came around me,
and besought to lead them to some_ safety.
I openly counselled them to die in the hal
lowed ground of the temple. They follow
ed, and led through treets encumbered
with every shape of human suffering; to the
foot of Mount Moriah. But beyond that
we found advance impossible. Piles of
clouds whose darkness was palpable, even
in the midnight in which we stood, covered
the holy hill. impatient, and not to be
daunted by anything that man could over
come, I cheered my disheartened band, and
attempted to lead the way up the ascent.
But I had scarcely entered the cloud, when
I was swept down by a gust that tore the
rocks in a flinty shower around me. And
now came the last and most wonderful sign,
that marked the fate of rejected Israel.
While I lay helpless, I heard the whirl
wind roar through the cloudy hill, and the
vapors began to revolve. A pale light,
like that of the rising moon, quivered on
the edges, and the clouds rose rapidly,
shaping themselves into forms of battle
ments and towers. The sound of voices
was heard within, low and distinct, yet
strangely sweet. Still the lustre bright
ened, and the airy building rose, tower on
tower, and battlement on battlement. In
awe that held us mute, we knelt and gazed
on this more than mortal architecture, that
continued rising and spreading, and glow
ing with a serener light, still soft and sil
very, yet to.which the broadest moonbeam
was dim. At last it stood forth from earth
to heaven, the colossal image of the first
temple; of the building raised by the wisest
of men, one consecrated to the visible
glory.
All Jerusalem saw the image, and the
shout that, in the middle of their de
spair, ascended from its thousands and
tens of thousands, told what proud remem
brances there were. But a hymn was
heard that might have hushed the world
beside. Never fell on my ear, never on
human sense, a sound so majestic, yet so
subduing; so full of melancholy, yet of
grandeur, and command. This vast por
tal opened, and from it marched a host,
such as man had never seen before, such
as man shall never see but once again; the
guardian angels of the City of David !
They came forth gloriously, but with woe
in all their steps ; the stars upon their
helmets dim ; their robes stained ; tears
flowing down their cheeks of celestial
beauty. 'Let us go hence,' swelled upon
the night,to the'ut terms t limits of the land.
The procession lingered long upon the hill.
The thunders pealed, and they rose at the
command, diffusing waves of light over the
expanse of heaven. The chorus was heard,
still magnificent and melancholy, until
their splendor was diminished to the bright
ness of a star.. Then the thunder roared
again. The cloudy temple was scattered
on the wind, and darkness, the omen of
the grave, settled upon Jerusalem.
F. 11131 ACCOUNT.—We find the following
in the last "Country Gentleman." It is
worthy of particular consideration by all
farmers who have not already in use this
business system,, which should prevail on
every farm. It is not too late yet to com
mence for this year.
" It is a great satisfaction to most farm
ers to know what it costs them individually
to raise on their farm, a ton of hay, a bush
el of corn or oats, a horse or cow, or any
other produce or stock. In order to do
this, we should keep a debit and credit ac
count, the same as we would with hired
men. It is also desirable to know as often
as once a year, if the farm is paying us
for our labor, capital invested, &c., and
now is - the time to begin such matters.—
By charging on the deptor side, to the
farm, the interest on the cost of the farm,
the sum paid for. taxes on the farm and
live stock, &c.,—the amount paid for labor
on the afrm, for mechanical labor, seeds,
manure, live stock, &c.,—for miscellaneous
expenses of the farm, interest on floating
capital invested in tools, stock implements,
&c.,—depresiation on harness, carts, tools,
implements, &e.,—in fact charge all you
pay out for the farm and give the farm
credit for all the improvements you make
in buildings, ditches, fences, growing crops,
live stock, &c., on hand : or if the above
seems to be too much labor, take an inven
tory of the farm in all matters appertaining
thereto at the present time, and if you
have no other property or business twelve
months from this time do the same thing
again, and the difference between the two
inventories will be what you have made or
lost by the year's business."
BUCLIANAN is MICIIICAN.—We observe in
the editorial correspondence of the able and
influential Slate Journal at Lansing, Mich.,
that the Democracy of that State are moving
earnestly for the nomination of Mr. Buchan
an. Democratic clubs are being formed in
different parts of the State, the members of
some of them already support upon the lapel
of the coats, a polished plate or "Buchanan
Badge," upon which there is a star with eight
points, indicating, as the Wearer claims, the
eight cardinal virtues of Mr. Buchanan's:politi
cal character, and also the eight thousand ma
jority Michigan will give him.
/365`" The Mt. Vernon (Ohio) Banner, a
Democratic paper of much ability and influ
ence, gives it as its opinion that Mr. BrcuSN
AN is the undoubted choice of the Democratic
masses in that State, and that he S'ertainly is the
choice of nearly every Democrat in Knox coun
ty with whom the editor has conversed on the
subject of the Presidency.
