STODDARD. The grist-mill stands beside the stream, With bending roof and leaning wall; So old, that, when the winds ore wild, "The miller trembles lest it fall. ial moss and ivy, never sere, Bedeck it o'er from year to year. The dam is steep, and weeded green ; The gates are raised, the waters pour, And tread the old wheel's slippery steps The lowest rounds for evermore. Mcthinks they have a sound of ire, Because they cannot climb it higher. From morn till night, in autumn-time, When yellow harvests load the plains, Up drive the farmers to the mill, And back anon, with loaded wains; They brinp; a heap of golden grain, And take it home in meal again. The mill inside is dim and dark, But, peeping in the open door, You see the miller flitting round. And dusty bags along the floor; And by the shaft and down the spot, The yellow meal comes pouring out. And all day long the winnowed chaff Floats round it on the sultry breeze, And shineth like a settling swarm Of golden-winged and belted bees; Or sparks around a blacksmith's door, When bellows blow and forges roar. I love my pleasant, quaint old mill ; It 'minds me of my early prime. 'Tis changed since then but not so much As I am by decay and time. Its wrecks are mossed from year to year, But mine all dark and bare appear. I Eland beside the stream of life; The mighty current sweeps along; Lifting the floodgates of my heart, It turns the magic wheel of song, And grinds the ripened harvest, brought From out the golden field of thought. 44 Where have you been this week;?" 44 Fishing." 14 Catch any thing?"

"Walking over Hanover st. one fine day I saw just before me$ one of Hawthorn's . n." 11 i . 1 "l Coaches rattling Up tllC Street, Willie in the rear of it two ragged urchins, breath less with haste, were racing for dear life after the coach to catch up and secure a ride. Pretty soon the smaller of the two was fortunate to gain the coveted scat on the Step, and rode of, gleefully chuckling at , U1S less fortunate playmate, who retreat ing to the side walkj at once vociferated "Cut, Cut behind!" The driver's cruel lash curled around and cut the cheek of the little fellow on the step, and screaming with pain he dropped off, while the envious little wretch who had been the means of this, set up a derisive shout of laughter, and vanished around a corner.

And when I see a young man whose idleness and inactivity, or lack of perse verance and application have made him unsuccessful in life, decrying the merits of others, doubting their efficiency, and endeavoring to prejudice the minds of others against them, and because they are so successful, I straight bethink me of the boy who called out " Cut cut, be hind !

When I see an editor who has got the worst of it in a long race for public favor attempting to cry down the deserving features of his more fortunate rival, when gangrened by jealousy, and smarting with defeat, he tries to "compensate for victory by traducing and slandering his competitor, I think at once that he is cry- ing in another form of speck "Cut, cut behind!'' j dizement, I could wish that I had a voice the Democratic party, and the means ot In short, whenever and wherever I see like thunaer to protest against it.

But to take the very best face this matter can present, we can arrive at no other conclusion than that, indepen dent of all extraordinary oppropriations for prosecuting new works, our public improvements arc sinking the Common zvcaeth every year dcejjcr and jqycr in debt! Notwithstanding the mystery in which the reports are purposely involved, this fact is apparent, and admits of no denial; but they can and they doubtless do, withhold from the public the exact amount of debt they annually throw upon the State. In the brief space of five years we sec the cost of maintaining our publio works swelled from 8700,000 to over 82,000,000; and if this species of Democratic progression is to be continued for five years more, it will require the sale of the works, and exhaust all the proceeds, to pay the debt incurred in merely keeping them up.

He would be dreaded as if his very touch was contamination, and until his operations could be confined to the walls of some hospitable prison, public justice would not be satisfied. But he is an agent of the State forsooth! he deals bountifully, and shares his plunder liber- ally with his accomplices, and public o- pinion seems to have grown strangely in different to this species of robbery. And how long will the people of the State, by whose hard-earned taxes this proflgacy is supported, stand idly by and permit it to run its high handod career? Is there no remedy for this official villainy ? I an swer that there is but one hope of sub stantial reform, AND THAT IS THE UNCONDITIONAL SALE OF THE WORKS ! And until this is affected, the indications arc that the same fatal abuses which are now practiced, for years, will be practiced still. I grant that we cannot realize the cost of their construc tion that we must lose heavily in the sale; but wo can reduce our State debt nearly one-half, and destroy tho great cause of its increase, without reducing our : revenue.
