A POEM FOB THE TIMES. Mr. T. Buchanan Bead’s poem of «The Oath!” is one of the most popular of those recited by Mr. James E. Murdoch at his pub lie readings. Recently, at Washington, he read /it with such effect that the President especially complimented him upon it, and asked for a copy.' This gives to the poem a new interest, and as it will gratify our readers to read it again, we print it below : THE OATH. BT THOMAS BUChANAN BEAD- Hamx/et— < < Swear on toy sword. ” Ghost, (below) ‘ ‘ Swear ! ’ ’—Shakespeare. Ye freemen, bow long will y° stifle The vengeance that justice inspires 1 "With treason bow long will ye trifle, And shame the proud name of your sires 1 Out, out witb the sword and the rifle For defense of your homes and your fires. The flag of the old revolution Swear firmly to serve and uphold, That no treasonous breath of pollution Shall tarnish one star of its fold. Swear! And hark, the deep voices replying From graves where your fathers are lying, ; “Swear, oh, Swear! ” In this moment who hesitates, barters ■ The rights which his forefathers won ; He forfeits all claim to the charters Transmitted from sire to son. Kneel, kneel at the graves of your martyrs, And swear on your sword and your gun; Lay up yonr great oath on an altar As huge and as strong as Stone Henge; And then with sword, fire and halter, Sweep down to the field of revenge. Swear! * And hark, the deep voices replying From graves where your fethers are lying, “Swear, oh, swear!” By the tombs of your sires and brothers, The host which the traitors have slain; By the tears of your sisters and mothers, In secret concealing their pain, The grief which the .heroine smothers, Consuming the heart and the brain; By the sigh of the penniless widow, By the sob of her orphan’s despair, ■Where they sit in the sorrowful shadow, Kneel, kneel every freeman and swear. Swear!, And hark, the deep vdTfes replying From graves where their fathers are lying, Swear, oh, Swear! ” On mounds which are wetwith the weeping ■ Where a nation has bowed to the sod, Where the noblest of martyrs are sleeping, Let the winds bear yonr vengeance abroad- And your firm oaths be held in the keeping ’ Of your patriot hearts and your God. Over Ellsworth, ior whomthe just tear rose, While to Baker and Lyon you look; By Winthrop, a star among heroes, By the blood of our murdered McCook , Swear ! And hark, the deep voices replying • From graves where your fathers are lying, Swear, oh, swear. Poisosmo Cash in New Toek Frederick Eichler, a ! German, about forty years of age, and a. married man, loyed and lived with a German widow, whom he promised to marry as soon as he could procure a divorce from his wife. The widow, however, probably aware of the uncertainties and delays of the law, shook off her paramour, and some five weeks ago married a man namefe Maen. B,eing in a miserable frame of mind, Eichler ’■determined to kill the faithless woman, her husband and himself. Full of this intent, he visited the Maen family on Thursday last, and in the kindest manner regaled them with a couple of bottles of wine, into which he had introduced a quantity of arsenic. The poison failing to do its work, Eichler discharged a pistol at Mr, Maen’s head; but, excepting that his face was somewhat burned by powder, the intended victim received no injury. Eichler fled from the house, and on the same night took lodgings, at Clark’s Hotel, in Chatham street, where his dead body was discovered on Friday morning. A dose of some corrosive poison had'put an end to all his troubles N. Y. Herald. Cceiods Case.— There is rather a curious promissory note case on trial in the Supreme Court, circuit, before Judge Smith, at New York. The Bank of the Commonwealth sues Benjamin F. Mudgett, Deputy Collector of the Customs, for the recovery of one thousand dollars. The plaintiffs claim that the defendant endorsed a one thou sand-“dollar promissory note, which was left with them for collection, and that when the paper matured he repudiated the act and pronounced the whole thing a forgery. The defence set up is that the'en dorsement is a forgery, and a number of wit nesses were called to the stand for the purpose of testifying. to the unlike character of the signature. The question for the jury to deter mine is one of veracity entirely, and it will be rather interesting to know who is correct. Fiee ok Oh Cheek.— On "Wednesday lastSa fire occurred at the Van Slyke well, on the Widow McClintockfarm. The fire caught from a spark from the smoke-stack of the engine falling into a tank of oil.- Owing to the recent bad state of the roads, some one thousand two hundred barrels of oil had accumulated at the Van Slyke and Chase wells. This, together ’With two engines and ail the machinery for pumping the two weUs, as well as derricks and a number of empty barrels, were consumed. The total loss is about $12,000. The Van Slyke well belongs to Captain Lyman Pray and Mr. C. M. Titus. The Chase well, just adjoin ing, is owned by Messrs. Titus and J. J. Van degriff. These wells were consumed in July last, when the loss was about $30,000. ScAßorrr of Food The Lebanon (Mo.) Herald gives a deplorable picture of the con dition of Southwest Missouri. It doubts whether there is grain enough in-the country to supply the people with bread till another crop is made. The wheat crop is not good, and what there was of it was curtailed by the heavy freshets last summer. The corn crop, too, was short. The wet summer, in the early part, prevented farmers working their corn sufhcientlv. Besides this, the trains have foraged the country of all that was to spare. General Eosecrans is anxious that the farmers of Missouri should resume the cultivation of the soil throughout that State. He promises all possibleprotection to farmers. Mineral Wealth of Utah Hon. James S. Doty, Governor of Utah, now in Washing ton, gives the most interesting account of the enormous wealth of that Territory. These treasures of the soil will rival those of Califor nia. Brigham Young is exceedingly vigilant in his efforts to prevent any examination, but it is probable that the owner, Uncle Samuel may Sometime put in a pre-emptionary right’ and claim to examine into his own premises. ’ XT IBBiit’s AHBOLINE J Lbolin E foethehair - MOISTENS, BEAUTIFIES, ODOBATES, LENGTHENS, INVIGORATES, NOURISHES, THEHA?f BELLISHES > Apnrely vegetable compound, made entirew from rtlmulatlng extracts or RJoteTHerba JFIOW6TS( It prevents the hair falling out or turninenrn. maturely grey.
