We sometimes see it 111 our morning drearria.
And one. to-day. in Hurmah's burning clime,
Proclaims in silver tones the letter time.
I bear faun now, and Calvary the then:.,
In accenls gentie as an aitgel's dream.
Now cloudy Sinai rises in his soul,
Kiscaid translates the thundera as they roll.
And one but mountains rise urmn the sight,
And cliffs, aloft, that pierce the nether night.
And rooks that glitter mount and mount between,
In emerald chasings to their silver sheen,
As if some mirror, by a giant'a hand,
Hashed on a crag, waa shattered through trie land--.
The land of Kvas. Tficnce a lad I did come.
And through tbia valley sought i. vain a homo.
The titsi of sparrows and of liliea eared
For that young exile, and hie lilo waa aparod
To bear a torch and bring an offering here,
And lift a banner oa thia lair frontier.
And onell. ttia tireless vigil keepe afar.
Where brightly burns a faxed " and elder atar.
The great red aun glowa alowly down the west,
The ahadowa lengthen he his evening blest.
Tears in the toaea, and dust upon the slrtngs,
The bngers falter while the minstrel sings ;
The turds are tuneless, whispering leates are still,
A nd day relnctant Itngore on the lull.
Oh ! breathless bosom of our mother dust.
What treaturea unto thee doea time entrust :

Oh, no; 'tis but the garment that he woro,
Ieft in tite asrdrolte wardrolie, nothing more.

New rot, new song, an everlasting homo.
Sarth, keep thy treMire. for somo nameless Juno,
Whttse sun shal I never climb the steeps uf noon ;
Thnt rolie shall be reclaimed, and winds sliall bear
Kaeh faded bore through the breathlesa air ;
'I'h. rose ehall lade the blossom lose its blotrn,

Till then; oh. gentle Karth. that dust refine,
To artnrkling deweand clouds almost divine,
Mould it in gems so light thy dreamy caves
And tiut the coral 'nealh the deep sea waves,
fiild it in harvests, silver it in snows.
And bid it bbsm while Susoiielianna flows.
So may we leave, oursolvrs, in sweet disguise.
In tonus that nature to her mork denies,
In truth at.d lirnuty woven into one,
1 nchilietlll-y shatlo. unwilled by the sun;
Forms, thai shall Itve w hen o ourseh es are dead,
Forms thnt shall a soli light ami Irngrance shed,
When spirit wings have trembled an adieu.
And cleit forever Ood's eltrual blue.
A glowing forge, a hammer, and a band,
A swelling muscle, and nn irttn l,.lnd

That hand, thill hammer, aud that tiirriniNt tire,
Clamp down the glolie, attentiato the a ire :
That orb. wherein dumb thunderbolts are hurled.
And hsiuiig lightnings fraternize the World:
With hayiuiet faxed, they wa:t tlie temiest shock,
At I'anan tomb sublimely stand and knock.
Till at the summons, marble slumliera break.
And shrouds are loosened, and the dead awako ?
That hand haseurved pale scienee's lidless ey.
That mirrors realms where love forgets to die.
And seans the lace-work from the looms ol (,od.
That hand baa plaved the seamstress round tho globo
And raveled out old Ocean's seamless rids) :
That hand of heggar'a rags has rarely wronght,
From age to age. a promenade fttr Thought,
And in tho aheet'a nnmelted, spotless snow.
Heboid the foot-prints ! bow tlury eome and go ;
That hand has made the oold, gray canvaaa liv.
with alt the lints tlmt summer suns ean give.
Thai hand has rocked the chariot wheels of dar,
Uy weaving strands of water's silver apray.
It! eoug in Irtai eltsiuence in Steel
And Knrth'a broad xones like rihlioiia round ft reel.
That hand haa reeled the canvass id Old Tune,
And arched Hie agea with a bridge aiibltmo.

The shriek of engines, ami Hie rustling wing
Of tracka that vibrato round the lielted glol e.
From Winter's lawn to summer's golden robe.
Have reached the desk, the closet atat the eave,
ft oared round the cradle, murmured round the gravo ;
The rugged ateep where Scieneo holds her throne.
On whoso faramntnit Fame's proud temple shone,
Where starry IMiaros l.eained aerosa tho world,
And groves F.genan to the breeze unfurled,
No longer rises in the raptured eye.
Nn biuger aweepa the axur. walla of sky ;
The hill is graded to the creeping plain.
And panting engtnea trail the lengthened train :
Where atars once rose and prophets need to sing,
The signal lanterns 'round the depot swing.
To think ia vulgar, and to ttel ta vain
When one ean glide to glory on a train.
".tor fttssil falbera. How they climbed and crept.
And watched, and waited, leliand rose, and wept,
drew strong by strife, triumphant hy defeat,
And beard through all tlie Itosem'a steady I teat
Ah ! those were simple limes, when head and heart
Were not removed a Sabbath day apart.
Itnt thoughta once I torn were rocked upon tho breast,
And caught the glow of ntllnws that they pressed.
Ave, gallant thoughts, confided to the page
That pass unclutllcuged on from age to ago.
The world's a Snuthey. not the world of things
To which or dnst or death forever etinga.
Hut that right regal realm of lofty thought.
Where fancies aparkle. arguments are wrought.
If ark where they toil, the journeymen of time,
Tho forges roar, the anvila ever ehtme.
The watchful eye, tho hammer 'a steady fall,
And patient lalior loves and eonqueraail.
Aye ! Truth and Thought Bo ripen in the ore,
They need tho hammer and Iho lire before
They grow obedient to tho plastie hand,
And'bcanty blazes from the atubltorn brand ;

Wo stamp thereon an imago and a name
A Sword ; lo I " power " ib blazoned on the Made.

And heart that warmed, are turned lo kindred day.

Railroad Trimbles at Erie.
THE DECREE OF TI1E SUPREME C0CRT.
Oar readers remember tbo great Erie
war, wtcn, because tbe citizens of Eric
I would not permit a railroad company of
I Ohio to run thro their town in violation
of law, all Netr York got into hysterica,
and demanded tbat President Pierce should
I send tho U.S. Army into tho field to attack
tbo women of Erie for pulling np tbe rails.
Whether deterred by the spunk of the wo
men or the folly of tho request, the Presi
dent did not do it, and Krio walked into
Court to settle the matter legally. The
Supremo Court of Pennsylvania have just
made a deci.-ion tbat the railroad is a pub
lic nuisance, as it lies part upon certain
streets in tbo borough of Eric, and part
upon a public road, and was laid by an
evasion of a charter, or rather without
any charter whatever. The Court order
that the Company f-hall, on or before the
expiration of four months from the date,
break np so much of their road S3 lies
upon the said streets, and upon the 1! o-lTalo
road, and remove the materials thereof, so
as to leave tho said street and road in as
good condition as they were in before the
construction of said railroad. They fur-j
thcradjudge that the Company shall withiu
four months change tho route and eon-1
I struction of their railroad accordingly, and
make their Western tcrniinut at what was
the Eastern line of said borongh in 18-12.
1 or within the same borough. The Comp
any to re-construct their railroad,to supply
tho parts hereby ordered to be broken np,
according to plans and specifications to be
by them mado, and to be submitted to
Iand approved by the Supreme Court. It
will bo seen thcrcforo that by the judg
ment of our highest legal tribunal, the
I people of Eric, instead of being rioters,
wore acting legally, and that the foreign
I railroad company were the rioters in fact.
A great triumph for Pennsylvania, for her
Press, bcr Governor, and her Legislature.

Tho inTnlttr Mkthlnes" all IPvtinecrl '
MuEditcb : TLc extract., yoa recently
, , . , ' . .
made from a HarnsWg journal, respect -
ting tlto ae-sociation of Know Nothing',
i .t . .,
may be worthy of a moment's attention.
The apostle Paul was " determined to
Know Nothing among the" pcoplo but
tbo Gospel he preached. And when that
Gospel in a certain town wronght destruc
tion to the arts of the worshipers of the
goddess Diana, they raised a storm almost
equalled by that of our devoteca of Party
who tremble at the " band-writing on the
wall," and read their doom.
The great trouble with the Democratic
party is, that most of this victorious new
party come from their own ranks, and
thereby endanger their ascendency. Were
tho Know Nothings mostly Whigs, the
Democrats would not care enough about
them to denounce theut.
But when did our Democratic friends
imbibe their hostility to secret societies ?
Quite recently, I think. And now, they
do not condemu Masons, Odd Fellows,
&c. only the Know Nothings.
"But the Know Nothings aro political"
I it is argued. And so are other secret asso-
ei ttior.s So is the Tammany Society of
New lork, which, for forty ycars,has most
of the time ruled the Democratic party; so
was the Washington Uenevolent Society,
of the Federal party ; so is the Democratic
Miami Tribe, of Ohio; and so are or have
been hundreds of other clubs, caucuses, or
societies fur accomplishing certain plans.
It is thcrcforo evident that the Union and
its adjuncts are not opposed to secret poli
tical socitics in general, but only to this
one in particular. j
Without assuming omniscience upon a
point where I "know nothing" more than
my fellow citizens in common, I conclude
that it is a family quarrel of the party in
power, and, like most internal dissensions,
is very violent.
Tho alleged cause, is, that forcign-borh
and Catholic citizens, havo been unjustly
favored and promoted over native-born
and Protestants. How correct these alle
gations arc, and bow expedient the meas
ures proposed by the new organization, arc
other points for discussion,
Probably a radical revolution in the
party will cure tho evils, and afterward
the association will be dissolved.
The idea that the Know Nothings are
violating the Constitution, "proscribing,"
itc. &c, are utterly erroneous. It is not
proposed to divest any one of his acquired
rights, but foreign as well as native-Lorn
citizens must submit to whatever regula
tions the proper authorities may make.
It is not "proscription," of all others,
because I choose to vote f.r one person
only. I do cot "proscribe" the Methodist
church, although I prefer tlie Lutheran
nor do I "proscribe" a Catholic in choos
ing to trust my best interests with a Pro
testant. If bohest preferences are to be i
branded as "intolerance," then is our
great Democratic party a monster of i nt
lcrance, fur it would never allow a Wbi
to bold a single office, if it could help it;
and on the other band, the Whig party
would "proscribe" all Democrats, fur if it
would never give one ofTiee to the Demo
crat.?. In votinjr for Americans and for
Protestants only, the Know Nothings
would be no more intolerant or prescrip
tive than the Whig and Democratic parties
arc towards each other.
Many of the charges agaiust the Know
Nothings, arc the wild vagaries of heated
imaginations others arc tho broad jokes
of time-killing humorists. No sensible
man will be mis-led by cither.

To Prevent Smut in Wheat.
Ens. I.egisteh It is my opiuion that
farmers should make public the result of
their successful experiments, whenever
there is reason to bcirve they will benefit
their brother farmers by doing so. For
merly I never failed to have smutty wheat
if I sowed smutty seed, though the seed
was washed ever so carefully. Eut for a
few years past I have been able almost en
tirely to escape the smut, by using this re
medy. First wash your socd wheat as
clean as you can, and drain off the water;
then to every bushel of wheat, take one
ounce of blue vitriol, dissolve it in a pint
of water, pour it in and stir np the wheat
well. I sowed a piece with seed prepared
in this way, except a small part whieh was
sowed without the vitriol, because my seed
fell short. AVhcn the wheat ripened there
was hardly a smutty head in the whole
pici-c where the vitriol was used, but the
other part was full of it you could gather
the smutty beads there by handfuls. 1
havo bad tbe same success other years.
If any of my brother farmers derive any
benefit from this and I am confident they i
will if they try it they can piy me by pub
lishing something of their experience, and j
so wo will help each other.

Ihe wholesome advice contained in them.
may not bo confined to Irish Americans
alone, fur there are many native b''rn,
who could profit by them if they would.
"With these prefatory remarks, I arrive
at the point from which I am anxious ti
address you on the course you should pur
sue at the approaching election.
Vote for the man your conscience, ap
proves and for the principles your judg- j
ment sanctions and endorses. Go to tho'
polls quietly,peaceably,without ostentation,
without discussion with any body. Depo
sit your ballot without remark, answering
any question of a legal and constitutional
charactcr put to you. This done go with
out any delay, to your places of business
or to your homes. Make no crowd. En
courage no stroet or bar-roont haranguing.
Rring on no discussions. If you are as
railed in any way, appeal to the authori
ties for protection, and you will be protect
ed. The sound, healthy, sober second
thought of an excited, and disturbed, and
passion-driven public opinion will super
vene ; and if you act as I have determin
ed to act, and now point out to you, nn
difficulty will occur, no riot will tako
place, no blood will be spilled.no wife will
be widowed, and co children

most and most pregnant cause of the enmity

you by the Native Americans.

leaves conscience free anl untrammelled

By and through the Cou.stitutie u the vot

you ; and by perverting that privilege
io any personal er religious purpose,
you. not only violate your oath of cit

your persecutors to advocate lha let nae-t-tneut

thus deprive you of the privilege, advan

part of tho great American I'nion. And
let r.ie add that those who appear to and
traffic on your religious sympathies acd
convictions, and who constantly refer in
their writings and speeches to your position
and influence as 'Catholics" and solicit
you to take your "Catholic" interests into
account in excreting your right to ap
proach tho ballot-bex, are your bitt'-rest
and most malignant enemies ; and before
God, they have a serious responsibility in
thus misleading you, which they, t n the
latter end, will find it difficult to satisfy
and discharge.
And now, fellow-countrymen, I implore
you to read and think over thia plain and
simple observation. Never mind the want
