From slander's tongue and envy's vow. That has been harbored thus for ma? Oh! tell me net, nor let me bear The scorn they've showered on my name; Tis often whispered in my ear. And thrills to madness my poor brain. They do not know they eannot feel, How deep they wound an aching mind, A wound no earthly balm pan heal, Or free from agonif.ing pain. Oh! pan they not, in charily, Have pitty on the sadened fate Of sorrow's sad and erring child, That thus is made so desolate.

Mill the silence of the moonlipht hour, Mary. "Twas in the moonlight hour. Mary, 'Twas in the moonlight hour, When that living ami fraeile one of ours, In tones of the softest music said: Weep not thus that the golden thread, Should break and number me with the dead; How sweet to go. From all my woe. Mid the stillness of the moonlight hour, my friend. The earth looks dark and drear to me, The earth looks dark and .1 roar. And why do you weep smb. sad bitter tears; My heart is weary and longs to rest, In the peaceful land orthe blest; My heart it has weakly stood life's test, Oh do not weep, Because f sleep, In this bright and peaceful moonlight hour, unfriend. Her voice grew faint and low Mary, Her voice grew faint and low; Death was ringing hor knell, solemn and slow, Ami as the le phyrs rame stealing by, Shedosod hrsoft and beaming eye, And passed an ay to the kingdom on high; So since she sleeps, We ill not weep. That she loft us in the moonlight hour, Mary. Mixerville. Sept. 10, '52.

The difficulty, nay, impossibility of inducing men who call themselves ' Whigs to turn out on election-day and vote for their principles, is a constant and mortifying obstacle in the way of Whig success. Whenever we have occasion to examine into the causes of a defeat, we always arrive at the same conclusion the Whigs did not go to the pedis! In our own State, this is peculiary'the case. The practice of Democrats is" just the reverse; they always vote; and the consequence is, that they carry the election more than half the time.no'twithstandino-

Picayune 'I'crriMe C'riiur. The Salem (III.) Advocate tells of a terrible crime recently committed in I.ooking-Glass l'rairie, St. Clair county. The names of the parties are suppresscd, in consideration of the r. sociability of their relatives, but the facts are thus stated: Mr. G. and wife, lately residing about six miles north-east from Lebanon, were suddenly taken ill. just after taking tea. during tin' past spring. They were re spectable farmers, having a family consisting of three children, the eldest a daughter about fifteen years of age. Mrs. G . died two days after the attack, seemingly laboring under an attack of fatal cholera. Mr. G. recovered; but his eldest child, the daughter, prepared . ... . 1 .... i . . some grimi at ms request. n tins ne ate, and immediately was seized with violent pains, accompanied ly insatiate thirst and vomiting. 3lr. ti. ranullv grew worse; a physician was called in. who prescribed lor the cholera. In the course of a few days Mr. G. also died. The orphan children, including th dau"-htor, were then removed to Oh from w hich State the family had originally emigrated about eight years since, At the tim f the i!e..tli of the pr.rents, no suspicion of foul piny xvas excited. Since, how ever, the conduct of the daughter has led to the suspicion, that she had poisoned both her parents. actor, and went so far as to interdict all conimi.n'cation between the lovers. To remove this obstacle to tueir w ishes. it is !lt(Vsuspected that the young girl cons. to. and committed the horrible crime of parricide. It is noxv recollected that a parcel of arsenic, kept in the farm house to destroy vermin, suddenly disappeared, and that the daughter had inquired tor poison at the house of an uncle, about a mile distant. That the physician xvho attended th'1 dving father, requested permission to .. ,. ... .-. , .i examine t'ie gruel, nut v-v- n nan necu throw n away by tlie i..u-iit the ensuin"' da'v a nuniber oi f.,wU died arouiid the house. -r.
