sMrs. ' r '• Ol'B VNION. [The following beautiful and thrilling poem was written about the year 1845. by J. E. Cranes, a young man, then residing at Vicksburg, Miss., and connected, we believe, with the Vicksburg Whig. Its production seems peculiarly appropriate at this time. We learn that Mr. Cranes is now a preacher of the Gospel, but presume this does not in the least degree, abate the love of “Union” so tastefully and touchingly showed forth:] The Wood that flowed ut Lexington, and crimsoned bright Champlain, Still streams along the Southern Gulf, and by the lakes of Maine; It flows in veins that swell übive Pacific’s golden suud, And throbs hi hearts thatloveand grieve,'by dark Atlantic’s strand. It binds in one vast brotherhood, the trapper of the WeSG With men, whose citiesglass themselves in Erie’s classittj^east; And those to whom September brings the fireside’sosocial hours, With those Who see December’s brow en wreathed with gorgeous flowers! From where Columbia laughs to greet the smiling Western wave, To where Potomac sighs beside the patriot hero's grave; And from the streaming everglades, to Huro; 's lordly fle^d, The glory of a Nation's past thrills through n kindretfetelood! .Whenever Arnold’s tale is told, it dyes the cheek with shame, And glows with pride o’er Bunker Hill, or Moultrie’s wilder fame; And wheresoe’er above the fray, the stars of empire gleam, Upon the deck, or o’er the dust, it pours a common stream! It is a sacred legacy, ye never can divide, ’ Nor take from village urchin, nor the son of city pride; Nor the liunlter’y white-haired children, who fin'd a fruitful home,. Where naraejless lakes or* sparkling, and Where lonely r.vers roam! Greene drew) his sword at Efftawl and b 1 ceding ' Southern feet, Trod tho march across the Delaware, amid the snow and sleet! And, lo! upon th ■ parchment where the natal record, shines, The burning!page of Jefferson bears Franklin’s calmer lines! Could ye divide that record bright, and tear the names apart, _ 1 That first Were written boldly th re with plight of hand and heart? Could ye erase a Hancock’s name, e’en with the sabre’s edge? Or wash oiiT with fraternal blood, a Carroll's double pledge? - Say! can the South sell out her share in Bunker’s hoary height? Or, can tho North give up her boast in Yorktowns’sfclosing fight ? Can ye divide with equal hand a heritage of graves? Or rend in twain' the starry flag that o’er them proudly, waves? Jots for Vernon’s soil? or chaffer'mid the gloom \ That haligqjts solemn fplds about your common j Fathers tomb? Or, coi|ld yd meet ardund Ilia gave as fratricidal j foes,r .j And wake our burning curses o’er I.is pure and , calm repast ? \e dare not! is the Alleghanie’s thunder-toned decree — v 'Tis echucdk'whcro Nevada guards the blue and tranquil sea; ■ Where tropic waves delighted, clasp our flowery Southern shore, And wherethrough frowning mountain gates, Nebraska’s waters roar.

®istdhuuons. Looiqbefore you Kick. A minister recently, while on his way to preach a funeral sermon in the country, called to (See one of his members, an old widdow Lady who lived near the road he was traveling. The old lady had been making sausages, and she felt pr.ud of them, they were so plump, round -and sweet. Of course she insisted on he.- minister taking some of the links pome to his family. He objected on account of not having his portmanteau along. This objection was soon overruled, and the old lady, after wraping them in a rag carefully, p 4 a bundle of■them jnto ei ther pocket of the minister’s capacious coat. Thus equipped he started for the funeral.

While attending to the solemn ceremonies of the grave, some hungry dogs scented the sausages, find were not long in tracking them to the"pockets of tiie good man’s overcoat. Of course this was a great annoyance, end he was severaf times under the necessity of kicking those whelps away. H iving completed, the minister and his congregation repaired to the Church where the funeral discourse was t.o be preached.

After the sermon was preached the minis- ! ter halted to make some remarks to his con- , gregation, when a brother who wished to j have an appointment given out, ascended j the steps of the pulpit and gave the minis- j ter’s coat a hitch to get his attention. The ! divine, thinking it a dog having a design upon his pocket, raised his foot, gave a sudden kick, and sent the good brother sprawling down the steps. “You will excuse me, brethren and sisters,” said the minister** confusedly; and without looking at the work he had done, “for I could not help it. I have sausages in my pocket, and that dog has been trying to grab them ever since I came upon the premisea^Bp Our readers may judge of the effect, such an announcement would have at a funeral.
