LINfcS. 'T wa night; the wind in peace was sleeping, The stars their silent watch were keeping. The earth seemed hushed ia deep reposiDg, -Like soft dark ejes "of beauty closing. The fall-orbed moon her light was pouring On purling stream and torrent roaring; On lowly hut and lofty tower; On soldier's tent and lady's bower; On sea and land, on all she kept Her radiant ere while others slept. On ic nt of sadness and of pleasure, On misr counting o'er his treasure. On kf ags and nobles without number, On aillfons who in death do ulumber. On battle-field with corses piling. On prisoners tedious night beguiling, On blood-stained warrior restless dreaming, On sleeping childhood faces beaming; On sea and land, on all she kept Her radiant eye while others slept. But hark! from out yon castle stealing Fweei music comes; now louder pealing, The ear enchanting, soul entrancing, Anon receding, now advancing, Now breaking forth in w il J e st note s , Thn softly changing, gently floats Upon Um air; then dies tway, Like rays of light at close of day; Whil yet on all the moon still kept Hit watchful yt wkil oUiers slept. But see yon eastle-gatM unbarring With trumpet loud and noisy jarring; A crowd of warriors come out rushing like foaming ocean onward gushing, O'er hill and dale, themselves wide spreading To sound of martial music treading; While over rock, and tres and all, Had fallen night's sepulchral pall; While yet on all the moon still kept Her watchful eye while others slept. Where are they new? their spirits fleeting Are with the loredsnd lost ones meeting; Nothing they know of this world's sorrow, No further trouble aow they borrow; They've passed away, we know them not; Tradition only mama the spot Where once their ashes mouldering lay. They're gone; but when days passed away In nightly course the moon still keeps Her eye on all, e'en while they sleep.

V tah The Salt Lake Country. Salt Lake is situated between tha fortieth and forty-second degrees of north latitude, nd is not lets than thirty miles in length from north to south, varying in width from 5 to 30 miles its elevation above the Gulf of Mexico is 2,400, and it forms the bottom of a vast basin, surrounded by mountains, 5,000 or ,GO0O fect high. Part of the banks and bottom of the lake are composed of rocks and salt springs and the water are entirely impregnated with a saline substance, so that evaporation shows 33 parU in 100 of salt, while the water of the sea shows ouly 4 parts in 100. The ;merg of Salt Lake, therefore, are an extraordinary density. No fish can live there, and the borders of tho lake are sterile. Happily, in this accursed lake there is a narrow passage leading to another lake called Utah,(the name of an Indian tribe,) the level of which is 100 feet Aboue the surface of tho first. The water in Utah Lnlie 13 drinkable, fresh and limpid. The, richness of the coantry in tho neighborhood of these lakes caused Brigham Young- to resolve upon settling the Mormons at this spot. He thought ivith wisdom, that it , was better for him to bscorna exclusive master of thia great basin, where the distance and natura offered an impregnable fortress, than to cro to California and encounter the hostility of a crowd of gol Jseekers. The resemblance of Salt Lake to the Dead Sea could be presented as a providential design and an indication of the place where the New Jerusalem should be founded. The colony, chose a position extremely advantageous, upon the strait between the two lakes, and founded there the city of Deseret a name which signifies 'bee-hivo in the pretended 'Reformed Egyptian language. Tho aspect presented by this city it very picturesque. Is divided into twenty quarters, each forming a separate incloure. The houses are built of adobes, or bricks dried in the sun, are only a story high, and are surrounded by gardens. in springs, which descend t&o mountains flow ia littla rivulets into the gardens and streets. The stores are numerous and elegant. The State-house is 99x40 feet. Tho town protected by a fortified incisure, and tb.9 number of inhabitants is near 30,000. Th neighboring country is highly cultivated, and returns with usury the products which are confided to it. The Kansas correspondent of the New York Journal of Commerce, says, Jim Lane ('.he BUck Republican Hero and Martyr) has declared that if the constitutional conTention shall report a constitution as pure as an emanation from heaven nay, if they should adopt the Topeko Constitution itself, it shall not bo ratified by the people if he can command the power to defeat it. They have shown their hostility to the peaceable formation of a Free Constitution in Kansas, first by dissuadinr; Free State men there from voting for f;elegates, and secondly by arowing their intention to reject the Constitution reported, even though it be a perwet specimen ox freedom. It is not their intention to be satisfied it is not their wish that this firebrand of slavery agitation should U Mquietlvextinrruished. In the canvass of '66, it was the only point atcs'i whioh the opposite elements'oftactas could strike a common cord and ral 17 asd now it would be suicidal indod. if thy lt this the Lust vestigo of declining tcp,fcs tweptaway by the quiet admupit r ci. - a Sioa 01 xansss reo oiaie.

Their Kcal motive. There is just one point in the Kansas imbroglio from which the public eye ought not lobe removed. That is, the motive of action, of the leadeisof the free State party, so called. They have lately, it has been seen, had their Topeka Legislature together going through the farce of passing "laws" and of doing those other things which a legal Legislature may properly do, and they have avowed their purpose to ad-

f here to their Topeka constitution, and to ! take no part in any future action regarding I any other constitution. No matter if the coustituion about to be formed by tho con vention just chosen may be submitted to the whole people of the Territory, at a fair election, where every actual 6eiller shall have the unmolested right of declaring his sentiments by his vote, the leaders of the Free State party, so called, avow their determination to refrain, and to advise their party to refrain, from going to the polls. What is the motive of this action? If the sincere desire of the so called Eree State party were to make Kansas a Free State, would such be their action, since it is admitted on all hands that they might certainly make it a free Stats by contrary action by going to the polls and taking their followers to the polls, and voting yes or no on the question, shall skvery exist in Kansas? Plainly not. What, then, is the real motive of the action they have resolved upon? Is it not to let Kansas be made a slave State? Beyond all question, their motive is to let Kansas be made a slave State. This has been the motive of their action from the first and the motive of the action of the eastern leaders of the black republican par ty from the first. Some of these latter leaders have lately been in Kansas, and the immediate sudsequent movements of Topeka party showed what had been their advice. Their advice had been that the Topeka constitution and the Topeka Legislature be galvanized, and ihat every possible impediment be placed in the way of a speedy solution, by Gov. Walker, of the Kansas difficulaes. , So it Is. If we die to-day, the son will bhine as brightly and the birds sing as sweetly to-morrow. Business will not be suspended a moment, and the great mass will not bestow a thought upon our memories. "Is he dead?" will bo their solemn inquiry as they miss us except our immediate connexions, and in a short time they will forget us and laugh as when we sat beside them. Our children will bp gone. In a few years, not a living being can say, "I remember hira." We live in another aire and did business with those who slumber in the tomb. llusislite. now rapidly it passes away. Coustt Property Seized. The county property of Knox county, Indiana, has been seizd at the suit of the Ohio and Mississsippi Kailroad Company, for the interest due on 8200.000 of the county bonds, for which judgment was obtained at the last U. S. Circuit Court. The poor house and the jail are tobe sold tho courthouse and grounds will bo held from sale till the action ot thts county authorities is known. Weather Sign. In a cloudy morning it is a matter of importance to the farmer, to know whether it will be sunshiny or showery in the afternoon. If the ants have cleaned their holes nicely, and piled the dirt up high, it seldom fails to bring a clear day to the farmer. Spider-webs will be very numerous about the tops of the grass and grain, some cloudy mornings; and fifty years observation has shown the writer of this that those little weamer guessers sei dorn fail in their predictions of a fair day. English Paper. Population of Louisville. A census of Louisville has just been taken, showing a population of 57.585, an increase since 1850 of 14,391. Liability of Stakeholders. Chief Jus tice Nelson of the Superior Court, Boston, has delivered an opinion on the question Can stakeholders be made to refund money, paid on the result of a race? Tho charge of ;he Court was to the effect that all such wagers wero in that State illegal, and that the losing party could recover of the stakeholder, if he was notified of an intention to fcede from the original bargain at any time before he ac the money If, however, he had paid orer the stakes to the winner, before any such notice was j - j e a! v. .i.l received from the losers, then he cannot be held liable. The question is onu of much interest in the sporting world. m Immigrants. Up to the present time siztyfour thousand one hundred and twelve emigrants have arrived at the port of New York against thirty-seven thousand two hundred and eighty-two last year. This is nearly two for one. XiTThe New York Evening Post says a gentleman residing in Boston, has lost a member of his family every Fourth of July for the last four years. His two sons and wife have died on that day, in successive years, and on Saturday last h;s little daughter, aged five years, was seized with convulsive fits, ia the second of which she died. Increase or Gold. The editor of the N. Y. Herald has seen "a private letter, which came dv tne last 6teamer. irom a gentleman in San Francisco which 6tates that in the writer a opinion the Yield of gold for the year 1857 will not be much short ot one hundred millions of dollars. XSTThe Bisin Sun Visitor states that the army worm is destroyiug the corn in Ohio county. Among the base, merit begets envy; among tue no Die, imitation. Pride brealtfiisted with plenty, dined with poverty and supped with infamy. The world makes us talkers, but solitude makes us thinkers.
