To the soft wind's gentle swell,
And think we hear the music,,
Our childhood know so well.
To gout out on the even,
And the boundless fields of air,
And feel again our boyhood's with
To ream, like angels there !
There are many dreams of gladness
That cling around the past—
And from tho tomb of feeling
Old thoughts come crowding fast—
The forma we loved so dearly
In the happy days now gone,
The besutilul and lovely.
tic, fair to look upon.
Those bright and gentle maidens
Who seemed so formed for bliss,
Ton glorious and too heavenly
For such a world as this !
Whose dark soft eyes seemed swimming
In a sea of liquid light,
And whose locks of gold were streatning
Oo'r brown no sunny bright.
Whose smiles are like the sunshine
In the springtime of the year— .
Like the changeful gleams at April
They followed every tear!
• They have passed—like hope—away--
All theft loveliness has fled— -"
Oh--many 'therm is mourning
That they are, with the dead. - •
Like the brightest buds of summer
They have fallen from the stem--
Yet oh---it ie a lovely death
To fade from earth like them
Arid yet—the thought is maddening
To muse (mulch 1111
And feel that all the beautiful
Aro passing fast away ! ' •
That the fair ones whom we love,
Grow to each loving breast, .
'Like tendrils to the clinging vine;
Then perish where they rest.
And can we but think of these .
In the soft and gentle Spring.
Wheh the trees are waving o'er us
And the flowers are blossoming !
For we know. that winter's coming'
'With his Cold and stormy sky—
And the glorious beauty round us
Is budding but to die!
The Celebrated Fast Proc.Tanta«
thin of Gov. Enoch Lincoln.
[From the Maine Free Frees, July 28.]
We give below the celebrated proclama-
tion of Gov. Lincoln, made in the year
1827. Immediately after its delivery it
was printed upon satin and distributed
throughout the 'United States. It was re
garded as a remarkable document, 'as con
taining much, very murch inn few' words.
We reproduce it for the benelt of hur
readers who may not have seen it, It
will be recollected that Lincoln, ,Parris
and King were the early model governors
of Maine.
(PROCLANIATION.
"I recommend to each citizen to observe
he day as a chrietian ; if he be under the
influence of any vice, to banish' in
error, to correct it ;—if under obligations
to others, honestly to discharge them ; if
initiating injuries, to forgive them
aware of animosities, to extinguish them;
—and if able to•do any benevolent net to
any being, created by 'the Almighty Pow
er to winch ho owes his existence and his
faculties, to do it.
~B y the advice of the 'Council, and
in compliance with a venerated mange, I
appoint THURSDAY, the Fift h 4trry of
r7pril next, for Humiliation, asting and
Prayer.
"And, with a conscience thus prepared,
may we visit the temple of God, to war=
ship:Him with that humble and happy
disposition which always belongs to piety
and innocence ; beseeChing . hint that the
religion He sent by our Saviour may nit
be perverted through the pride and preju
dices of sectarisin, but may universally
receive the homage of a correct faith and
good works.
"Especially, I reccommond that, being
members of ono great. community, we
unite as Christian politicians, so that we
may render perpetual the peace and pros
perity of our country and of this State.
WOMAN THE CAUSE OF WAR.--A eur
germ in the United Stateq . Army recently
desired to know the most 'common cause
of enlistment. By permission of the Cap
tain in a company containing fifty-five,
the writer being pledged never to disclose
the name of the officer or private,.the true
history was obtaind of every ~ man. On
investigation, it appeared that nine tenths
enlisted on account of some female dial.
culty, thirteen had changed their names;
and lorty4hree were either drunk, or par
tially so, at the time of their enlistment.
Most of them were men of fine talents and
learning, and had once been in elevated
positions in life. Four had been lawyers,
three doctors, and two ministers.
A singular exchange of courtesies took
place. a short time since, between Judge
Pepper, of the 7th Judicial district of Ten
nessee, and Governor Johnson of the
same time. Judge Pepper, who was a
blacksmith, presented to Governor John
son a fireshovel, made by the Judges
own hands. The Governor accepted the
present, and being a tailor by trade, re
turned the compliment by cutting and
making with his own hands a coat, which
he presented to the Judge. • '
He who, clothed in the armor of honesty,
steadfastly pursues the path of rectitude,
contending manfully for the truth, and
sfipporting with firmness the cause of
justice, despitethe frowns of.those in high
laces and the hootings of the vulgar crowd,
rs the true and noble,soldier, and upon his
bannor.victory will ultimately perch. He
who pursues,a contrary course is but a
hireling mercenary, fighting for preferment.

-:Unfortunately, the, admirable constitu
tion of our government has failed to secure
to the people of these States the manage
ment of their own public bdsiness. Be
tween them and the legislative and admin
istrative functions of the republic there
has intervened a largo and motley class,
who aro commonly known as "politicians."
According to the dictionaries, this term
has two meanings. Originally it designa
ted thoso versed in the science of govern
ment; men of large views, largo expori-1
ence, great knowledge ; the very men to
direct affairs. Subsequently it came to
mean, as 'Webster expresses it, "Men of
artifice,' or deep contrivance." Among
us, it more commonly expresses the princi
ples and practice of those people whose
chef concern in life is to obtain the
control of ;public business, with tbo
one purpose, simple and indivisible, so to
administer it as to make themselves as com
fortable as possible in this present world.
To do these people justice, they labor most
faithfully in their vocation. They arc in
stant in season • and out of season. They
watch with sleepless vigilance every shift
ing of the popular breeze, and, with won
derful promptness and dexterity, trim their
sails to catch the fitful widtl y Religious
principle, moral honesty, even a common
place conscience, are altogether incompat
ible with the necessities of lives like theirs.
Religion does not swim with the current,,
but stems it. Moral honesty cannot clear
ly see that, good to-slay which was evil
yesterday, without the argument of per.
sena! 'advantage. Even' a commonplace
conscience in the breast of an utterly self
ish mon - must be an intolerable bore, and
is -turned out of office without ceremony,
as not belonging to, the party.. Some of
these people have great intellectual abili
ty. Many of them have plausible speech'
and manners. .Some aro good at a song,
others at a lie;
all have experience in the
meanest, of all arts : the art to cheat well
meaning people into wrong opinions and
'wrong actions. In all practical respects 1
they have great advantages in competing!
for public confidence with honest and good
mon, who have neither.disposition, leisure,
nor skill, to manufacture for themselves
any more :available character than they
may have earnad, by a correct life and
sound understandints ai . Such men ,are a
fraid to encounter bold, canning and un
principled adversaries. They dread the
slander and the libel to which they will be
exposed. , They shrink from .the degra
dation and contamination incident to in
diseriminate solicitation of votes, As a
general thing, honest, high-minded, God
fearing men are not Candidates for popular
suffrage. There ure exceptioutt, but -this
is the rule, beYead dispute. A greater'
calamity than this cannot befall.any coun
try ; no worse thing call happen to a com
munity than that its good men, its men !
whose rule of life is the love of God and
man, shall be excluded from the manage
went of its affitirs. Were a nation to estab
lish a rule of this kind, the whole world,,
would stand amazed at their folly, and pre-1
pare for their fall. But surely it matters,
practically, nothing whether such exclusion
bo accomplished by law or by usage, if on
ly, it be accomplished : and accomplished it
certainly is iu these states. The reluctance
of a good man to encounter the inconveni
ences of the canvass; the indisposition of
other good men to exert themselves active
ly to secure the election of a canidate; the
objection of "politicians " to give place and
power to men whose notions of right and
wrong might' conflict with the require
ments of" party . :" all these considerations
'effectually shut the door of public Places to
pious men as a class.
Negatively, in the privation of the com
munity of the services of those whose ser
vices-are most desirable, this state of things
is seriously evil : positively, it is worse.—
The
whole administration of public affairs,
from the determination of national policy,
foreign and domestic, to the minutest mu.
nicipal regulations of the most insigniti
cant corporate town ; the selection of
public agents, from the President of the
Union to the watchman of a custom-house,
are all in the hands of a comparatively
small, intensely selfish, and, too common
ly, a desperately unprincipled body of
men. • The consequence is plain and terri
ble. It is seen and felt in the general cor-,
ruption of public morals; in the unright.'
eousness of public acts; the utter neglect
ofpublic duties; in the delays of public
justice; in the cowardice, meanness, and
hollowness of heart which has brought
into almost universal contempt among the'
people the houses of Congress, and state
legislature. How long our countrymen
will endure this state of things we can
not toll. How long the moral and patri
otic people of the land will silently acqui.
esce in the usurpation of the highest pow
ers of sovereignty by "conventions ;" how
long they will submit to have the moat

ness.
Gross corruption of government has al
ways-preceded the ruin of s state. Itwill
ever be so. In the mercy of God the pro
cuss is gradual and slow. Time is given
for repentance; opportunity for reforma
tion. The shadow of the cloud foretells
the coming storm ; chastisement is sent,
trouble is multipled, and then, if it must
be, ruin comes.
T bore is much in the state of public
affairs to create alarm us to our national
relation to God. No man who, has been
observant of political affairs in this coun
try for the last thirty years, can fail to no
tice the fearful declension of virtue in our
public men, and in our national conduct.
The conduct of Congress, especially, begets
an annual nausea of soul throughout the
country; ; Notwithstanding the martyr
like efforts of a few good men, who are yet
always found in that body, the "politi
' clans" have it all their own way through
' out the sessions. And what a disgusting
picture do they present to God and man I
What an abuse of public-trust I What a
degradation of the honor of the nation I
The picture is before the people. We
spare ourselves the odious task of pointing
out its revoltim , e' features.
The worst of all is, that in some unac
countable way Christian people persuade
themselves that they may be wicked with
a party and pious .as individuals ; that
they may go with a multitude to do evil,
-
and yet be entirely freci from responsibili
ty as to the acts the multitude may do.—
, This is surely the most extraordinary hal
lucination that ever catne over a Christian
mind. What does 'God's law 'know of
party obligations ? With what expects
' Lion of success can they be pleaded at the
lhst day ? If it be said that it is some
times necessary to vote for a wicked man i
because he promises to pursue a line .or
political conduct which seems most likf
to conduce to common good, we an

No agents have a more di et relation to

and retribution;, everyman who loves his
country and its liberties ; 'every man who
has a regard for public faith . ; every man

dition and . tendencies of public affairs to
use all legitimate effort to restore the le
gislatures of the country to purity, and to
till administrative offices with right-mind
ed and God-fearing men.
Such men ought to be deterred by fear
of detraction and abuse from' becoming
candidates for such offices as they way be
conscious of the ability toAll with advan
tage to the public. The management Of
public affairs is a serious trust, and involves
great responsibility. We would not have
men rush thoughtlessly into such situa
tions. Many good men are incapable of
performing such duties, dad many more
have not the moral prepartition necessary
to endure the peculiar tetuptations inci
dent to such employments ) but we doubt
not that God has prepared the proper men
for all places of trust. It is for us to seek
them out, and for them toilet with regard
to these as on all other nneters—not upon
selfish, but Christian principles ; following
the indications of Providence wherever
they may lead. There is so necessity for
such mou to solicit votes, Or to submit to
any degradation of Christian dignity in or
der to secure election. 4.et them only
permit themselves to be,ea!didates ; make
a fair shawl - aunt of their' opinions upon
such tnattors of policy as may, in oase of
election, be influenced by their action ; let
them be frank, calm, watelful over their
hearts, and prayerful to Gad. If elected,
they will go into office withilear conscien
ces and come out with clean hands . ; . if not
elected, they will have qisehar g ed their
duty to the country by the offer of their
services. Personally, public place is not
desirable to the Christian; to the public,
however, it is very desirable that Chris
tians—real Christians--nala ordeal) heads
and pure hearts, shall act for thew in high
places.

God is not a counseller to him, and human
wisdom is not adequate to the govern

pars past, has been, in our view, a won

,and, to no ordinary extent, religious peo

the great principle, "Righteousness exalt

itirAn extensive band of counterfeiters
was arrested in-Canada t.n the let instant
by the sheriff of Sherbrook. They were
divided into two gangs, and were located
about five miles from each other in the
woods. All their implements -were taken
consisting of one printing press, twenty•six
plates of paper money, one machine for
stamping gold and silver, which weighed
eight hundred pounds, twenty-four moulds
for running hard money dids, ink, paper,
engraver's tools, and thousands' of dollars
in co ntcrfeit money.
Ti s is prob4bly the most important'
arrest of the kind ever made on this cowl-
neut. It is known that since the middle ofj
Juno lastsixteen thousand dollars bad beon
issued by the parties on the Nashua Bank
of Now Hampshire alone, and circtilated
chiefly in the State of Now York. They
aro of the denominations of ono's, three's,
and twenty's, and are executed with singu
lar skill. Large amounts of gold and sil
ver coin have also been issued. The band
was completely organized, and bad their!
engravers who could make all their plates,'
and their printers, and their signers of the!
bills, all of whom aro safely lodged in the
Montreal jail.
High Flown Descripition.A writer
in the Laurenaville C.) Herald, of the

male school in Laurens district, and was
completely enraptured with what ho
saw and heard.. Just hear hero :
I "At ten o'clock the procession was form•
od, all uniformed with white dresses, and
badges •of blue ribbon, the tallest in front,
and so alternately to the lagt--looked grand
In the subliinest degree. Like to the high
est pinnacles of the Alps, decorated and
'adorned with heaven's beautiful robo of
white, surrounded by its lesser points of
notoriety, bedecked in all the magnificence
of a snow•wreathed mountain. And as they
proceeded, the mellifluent sounds of the
sweet and consonant violin and flute caused
the very bills and dales to echo and re-echo;
and if there shmild have been any monoto
ny, these, our fellow•countrymen and friends'
to humanity,, were over ready to drive away

Love and Snicide. —On the 13th instant,
at Carlisle Barraoka, Pa., a soldier named
Thomal Laforce, a German, belonging to
the ,band of the second Infantry, was discov
eredlying dead in a cornfield, in the immo
t - •
diate vicinity of the garrison. From letters
found on his person, it was ascertained that
he CO nitnitted suicide from being disappoint
ed in love.' 'Bore is an extract :

her . extiaimituary beauty, feel -that • she
could make we happy—but, alas, she 'does
not love.

Greta Destruction of Property.--Tbe
barn of Ma j. John Armstrong, about 6i
miles from . Baltimore, on the Reisterstown
Turnpike, was ,struck by lightning, on
Wednesday afternoon week, and burned.to
the ground, •together with ill his wheat
'crop, consisting of some 2000 bushels, all
his oats; about 70 barrels' of corn - , a consid
erable lot of hay, and all the buildings on
his large farm, which is known to be one of
the best in the county, consisting of barns,
stables, machine shop, distillery, office, tool

sisting of threshing machine, seeding ma
chine,

Both Ways ried —The city of Oswego
last year voted No License, and, so fur as
was practicable, closed up her grog-shops.
This year, a majority voted to license again,
and one hundred- and twenty groggeries of
all sorts are now in full blast.. The Tri•
butte is assured that tho effects on the lc:
gitimate trade of the city aro palpably dis
astrous. The sellers of shoes, hats, clothes,
dry goods, provisions, &e., find their trade
seriously diminished and their profits re
duced to zero, beoause the Laboring Class
who last. year bought freely at their coun
ters now spend their diminished earnings '
to a sorrowful extent in rum.

there some time, and from appearances bad
evidently starved to death. They - .were
probably a couple of unfortunate deserters
from some whaleship.
Singular.—Tho Patterson (N. J.) Intel
ligenoor gives a curious incident of the late
storm:. A little girl was standing at a win
dow before which was a young maple tree.
After a brilliant flash, a complete image of
the tree was found imprinted on her body.
This is not the first instance of the kind;
but it is a singular phenomenon.
