And the winds are blowing cool Over the splashing pool, The clayey ooze and the drowned gras3, And lashing the lengths of rain, as they pass. Like scourges, against my window-glass, With many a sough and sigh, And here I sit alone. Though the world Is a full, and a broad, and a deep, With nothing but winds, to help me moan, Anil nothing but rains, to help me weep. My heart like that strange Drnidical stone That is poised on a desolate cliff of Wales, In its native midnight, unseen and unknown, Is rocked by passionate gales. But of all my sorrows, it is most sad To keep sighing still, in this dreary tone : " I once had friends—l had—l had!" Ah, heart 1 to think that this dark old honso Once echoed with voice and steps more glad Than those of the cricket and mouse! My eyes arc tear-blinded, but full are my ears Of a melancholy sound of rain— Of rain upon the roof; Till I dream that all moments which filled the train Of many and many departed years, Are hurried back, at my soul's behoof— On airy bridges I he ir them cross, Those numberless little trampling feet- Above mc they go with s rapid heat, And my heart is overflowed with a sudden sweet ; Now—now—and I almost think to meet The old time glances of laugf)mgyea, Til! the loud wind wakes, with its startling sighs, The thought which never dies ; That here I sit alone, Though the world is a full, and a broad, and a deep, .With nothing but winds to help me to moan, And nothing but rains, to help me weep. AGNES B. EMERSON*. Buffalo", N. Y., June 1853. YOCR LOCAL PAPER. —Reader, did you ever reflect on the subject of supporting liberally the press, auJ lirst of all your ovvji local news paper ? If not, permit us to suggest to you your privilege and your duty in this respect. Eu'li cify, town and village, in a country like the United State? should be represented by r. Ave local newspaper, and it would be well, both for the people and the place so re presented, to have a paper which does cred/ct to both, but a paper winch would be a ; honor ami a credit to the State and to the nation, — Stringers from abroad judge us by our news paper press, and hence the importance of mak ing that instrument as perfect aud as patent . as possible. It is the duty of every citizen of each place to contribute something towards improving and strengthening the iooai press, lie may do it by subscribing and paying for his paper, by advertising in it, by recommending it to Olhers, or in ail of these ways. Were the country press as liberally patronized aud as well supported as it should be, the country would not be so flooded with the worthless trash, in the shape of "love aud murder | stories," as it now is, which poison and vitiate tiie minds 0! the young. There is usually more moral integrity and circumspection man ifested by editors of the country press than by those in the large cities, and a uiorc healthy tone of mind and morals will generally lie found to pervade thorn. They are nw-re free from the reports of degrading vices and crimes and arc never opened with that feeling of sus picion which attaches to the common " flash literature of the uay. The country prc.-s may be improved. Each individual residing within the limits of its sphere and circulation may aid in its improve ment. He may be on the " look out" for interesting information, and when this is j obtained, communicate it to the editor. lie ; may bring his own business before the public by an appropriate advertisement, or, if tte has ! beef, pork, or grain to sell, he may announce j .it through his local press. lie may give his toiical sketches of the past, and show the progress and changes going on at present. — lie may help to make his local paper a source of instruction to strangers, and ot entertain ment to his neighbors. Is he a manufacturer? Let him invite capital and influence by setting forth such natural advantages as the place may possess, and indicate the routes by which it may be reached, its accessibilty to the mar kets, etc. There is no estimating the advant ages to any town or village of a lice local jour nal, and we doubt if there; is to be found at the present time an editor who gets fully paid for the services be performs, and we put the re sponsibility where it belong?—namely on the people, whose business and duty it is, first of all, to support handsomely their own local pa per.—Life Illustrated. " Axis' FOR HER."' —Col. Dick N.oli tells c ! rich story about axing for her, in his earlier ; days. lie was deeply smitten with the daugh ter cf a wealthy old skinflint residing in Ala bama. The Colonel, self-evident of success, arrayed himself in his best ruit and proceeded to call on the parent, for the purpose of ob taining his consent to the cousumatiou he de votedly wished. Matters had ail gone on smoothly. Col. Nash had every ground to hope for success. Finally a convenient season arrived for him to approach the old 'u:t. Says | the Colonel ; " Squire, my bussines to-day, is to ask for your daughter's hand." "It i?, is it? What ! you marry my gal ? j Look here, young man, leave my premises iti- Etanter, ar> , if yon ever S"t foot here again I'll make my niggers skin you. Marry my duugli- j ter, indeed ! You—" The Colonel had left. lie saw that the old gentleman was angry. After getting off to a safe place, he thought he would turn and take a lust fond look at the home of his lost idol when he spied the old man busy, with spade in hand, shoveling up his tracks from the yard and throwing tliern over the fence ! Col. , Xasli imagined he was au unwelcome visitor at that house. _ Wrr.r. CHAR CTERIZEO —The Evening Post's j Washington correspondence says : The Mrs-age was plajfuly but quiet hap- ' pily hit off by Mr. Seward,just after the read ing, when some friends-of Uie president asked I bins what he thought of it. 'I think,' said the New York Senitor , ' the President has I conclusively proved two, things; 1 That 110 Slate has the right to secede unless it wishes 'to; and 2. Phut it is the President's duty to enforce the laws, 'unless somebody opposes him.'" " As poor as Job's turkey " is a phra?e that troubles the antiquarians, but they do not give rip* the hunt tor its origin, undone of then says lie has found out that the turKcy had but one feather in his tail, and was so poor that lie was obliged to lean against a feuce to gob ble. | itttfsccltancous. | Susquehanna (Collegiate Institute, TOW AND A, BRADFORD CO., PA.

" To be, or not to be— hat is the question ! Whether'tis nobler in the mind to suffer ; The slings and arrows of outrageous opposition. Or by taking up arms against a sea ot printing ink, And opposing, end them." FT;HE proprietor of the Argus takes o easion in adver- X tising his Bindery to indulge in an uncalled for fling about a " sort of a concern," which is hoping " to delude tiie public." As I have opened a Bindery on my own ac count, the inference is that if the public bring their | binding to me. they are in tin danger of being defrauded. For two years I have worked tor Mr. PARSONS, and lie has taken great pains t sitisfy the public 1 was the " best Binder in America," as tiie columns of the Argus will testily. lias tie been all that time " deluding the pub lic?" If 1 have been engaged in a fraud, he has been the principal. But I refer to my work during that time as evidence that there lias been no fraud practiced. Having served a long apprenticeship at the Bindery I business, I have resumed business here on my own ac , count,as 1 know of nothing which prevents me front fol lowing n legitimate and bawful calling for my support I shall endeavor by good work and attention to my busi ness to give public satisfaction.
