THE OLD MAN SIMS.

Ho ! fetch mo the wine cup I fill vjp to the brim !
For my heart has grown oold and my vision is
dim, ' '
And I fain would bring back fo:
a moment the
glow
The swift passion that age lioJth long chilled
with its snow ;
Ho ! fetch me the wine cup t
gleams
The red liquor
With a promise to waken youth's rapture of
dreams,
And I'll drain the bright draught
for that prom
he divine,
Tho' Death tho dark spectre-ishould hand me
the wine !
; 'Tis not life that I live, for tlib blood currents
glide
Through my wan, shrunken veins in so sluggish
a tide j
That my life droops and withers ; what life call
you this t ;'
0 1 rather, consumed by one keen thrill of bliss.
Would I die with youth's gloity revivified 'romul

The deep eyes that blessed, (n l the fond arms

Siuk down, like yon sapphire unset nil fire
The soul clad with wings, and the brain steeped
in light;
Then come, potent wizard ! I call on thy might !
Breathe a magical mist o'er (he ravage of Time,
Roll bao ' the sad years to thfe flush of my prime,
And I'll drain thy bright dr ught for that vision

THE MOSS tOSE.
The moss rose that site gave me
When we were both at school,
When she was like a' singing bird,
And 1 was like a tfiol ;
The moss r'jse that ihe gave me,
Alas, for me and her,
Too late I learned the language
Of the little messenger.
. The moss rose that she gave me
I folded in my book,
And years from then I saw it all
The meaning anil the look ;
But till '. the days hud long gone by
When we wsre both at school,
When she was like a Singing bird,
And I was like a fool.
The moss rose that she gave me
That in my bonk I thrust,
The stem is white and broken
And the leaves are blushing dust ;
About my temples I can trnoe
The gathering tirsjids of snow,
Aud the singing bird, from sorrow,
Flew to Heaven years ago.
THE PERIL OF THE PAST.
When we as children used to play, '
Son-burning in the new-mown hay.
Like suns that swung athwart the sky,
So red thiy seemed
I never dreamed
Those happy days would e'er go by.
An instinct clafipei our tiny hands
. Whene'er we pacej the yellow sands ;
. And like our footsteps side by sido,
Our lives all noiseless seemed to glide.
And yet alas,
It cam to pass '
That you beome another's bride I
1 meet you in tho festive throng,
And you are stately, 1 am strong.
I sometimes hink that in your eyes
I see the old'affeotion rise ;
But leaning there,
Behind yonr chair.
Tour husband stands I will be wise f
From the RranJon Republican.

THE ILLINOIS CANVASS.
The great political battle i;oing on in
Illinois is becoming more and more exciting
as the adverse forces are nearing each other,
and the final collision threatens to shake the
whole continent with its reverberatitins. We
do not know, while coulemplAting the strug
gla from this distance, whether it is so or
not, but it does seem to u that Senator
Douglas is subjecting himself to a very dam
aging though wholly unnecessary cross-fiie,
and at the same time uncovering and fool
ishly exposing bis strongest position. The
campaign was opened by Mr Lincoln, who
clearly and. we must admit,- fairly dtfined
his position and the purposes of his party.
He declared
1. That the present contradiction between
North and South must be haimonizfd that
since the repeal of the geographical compro
mise of 36.30 there could be no possible
settlement of the slavery question on terms
hitherto relied on that slavery must be
uuiversal, or it, must be abolished and utter
ly annihilated; in 'short, ho laid down a
proposition which all sensible people must
admit, that negro subordination 0' negro
equality must b, one or the other, (piiver
satly aonepied by the nation.
2. Having laid dmvn this Until, which it
is in taut, however slow soim of our Nnrili
i n friends rimy lie to see it, be went on and
lb-fined bis own and Ins putty's posi'ion mi l
policy in dealing with it. He avowed his
hostility to nfgro siibnilimition io the rule
of twenty millions of white men over the
three in llions of negroes, and declared a
design to change the existing relations of the
races aud force tbm to a Ifgal equality.
This was the end, the final object, the great,
purpose of the Republican party, for slavery
or subordination of the negro element being
in its view a national evil, that party assumed
the mission of relieving the nation of its
presence, and thetefoie nske-J the people to
place it in power in order to consummate
this great work.
In tho third place, he laid down (he pro
gramme or policy for reaching the great ob
ject which his party bad in view. He de
olared that the Cotiat.iiut.ion forbade anv
direi.t interference with the States, but- he'd
that Congiess should exclude th's to -called
slavery from the federal territories, an I thus,
by panning tip the tiegri popul iti.m within
its presenl limits, slavery would become un
profitable, and the States burthen! with it
would abolish it; or in other words, that
society would become so demoralized by this
penning up process that the existing rela
t.ions of the races would be changed, and
whites and negroes, as in Jamaica, Central
America, &o., forced to the same common
level
Thes-s positions these means and evil ot
the Republican party w:e bold'y and, we
repeat, fairly avowed by Mr. Lincoln, i" bis
opening speech at Springfield. I hoy admit
of uo dodging or subterfuge. Thev are plain,
straight forward and as unmistakable as they
are insulting and infamous, as openly and
recklessly avowed as they aie atrocious am
dangerous, He asks the people of Illinois
to put his party into power and enable it to
degrade the white millions to a level with
negroes to abolish the rule of the white
citizenship over the negro eiement of our
popuU(ioi) to demoralize American society
and degrade it to the siaodard and character
of Jamaica and Central America I What
infamy! What atrocity 1 What impiety,
in fact, to thus Reek to desecrate the eternal
laws of God and force the subordinate negro
to a level with the superior white man ! .dr.
Liucoln will doubtless say that ho does not
desire to see whites and negroes amalgamate
and equalize in social life perhaps will even
say that he does not desire to give the negro
the same political rights, but there is no ar
bitrary or imaginary ground of 'ha kind for
him or his party to stand ou. The three
millions of subordinate negroes now occupy
a subordinate posiiiou the twenty mill'ons
of white citizens rule over thorn that rule
he thinks au evil and proposes to abolish it ;
uot, as we have said, directly or by interfer
ence with the States, but indirectly, by pen
ning up this negro element, and thus forcing
a disruption of the existing relations and the
consequent equality of whites and blacks.
VV.e have otteu made the declaration that
if the objects of the anti-slavery party were
freely discussed and '.ruly understood by the
people of the North, that its leaders would
far more likely be lynched than sent to Con
gress j but unfortunately their Democratic.
ppouents have no rigai to charge home on
thein too real infamy of their doctrines, be
cause they themselves fail to occupy an
allinn tiva position. The man or the press
thai, decla es slavery the natural relation of
lie races, arid that social subordination of
the negro clement is right par se, in shor t.
ho declares the txumig condition the
upiemacy of the white man eternally just
and true, mav consistently denounce all
those who seek to abolish this supremacy a
traitors to their lace as woM as to their
;oiintiy. This p i-iiiotl Mr, Douglas took at
Springfield, and boldly puttHig Lincoln on
the- defensive, charged home on the anti-
slavery party all the hideous impieties and
monstrous villainies that are legitimately,
indeed, necessarily, wrapped np in the creed
of that villainous party. Thus they went
before the people of Illinois, Liucoln advoca I
ting negro equality and Douglas negro sub
ordination tbn former proposing to degrade i
the whites to a level with negroes, and the
latter proposing to retain the negr oes forever
in their present position : in short Lincoln
seeking revolution and an overthrow f
mr institutions, and Douglas insisting on
the preservation of the existing condition
equality for white men and snbordina
tion fr negroes all over, everywhere and
forever. ' , , ' '
Can any one, or :ould any one doubt; the
result of such an issue, the true issue, the
ot,
at;
y issue before the oountry ? Can or will
one auppose that tua people -ot Illinois i
would go with Lincoln for affiliation with
negroes and reject Douglas because he pro
posed to keep this negro element where it
belongs, where God and nature have placed
it, where reason and common sense proclaim
that it should be placed, where the pafety of
society aud the eternal necessities of thiogs
demand that it shall remain forever in
social subordination to the white citizenship?
But Douglas has not followed up the strong
and manly blow? struck at Springfield. He
has permitted Trumbull and others to dis
tract bis attention from the maio issue, and
gone off iu a petty and personal squabble
about consistency, as if he or any body else
had ever been consistent in this question.
This mistaken and foolish egotism lias
changed the whole field of battle, and per
mitting Lincoln to escape, he has put him
self ou the defensive. N. Y. Day Book.
THE RESULT AND ITS CAUSE.
The Wvandot (K. T.) Argus, speaking of
Ihu late election in Kansas, which has re
sulted in the rejection of the proposition to
accept the English Proposition, has the fol
lowing :
The causes which have conspired to pro
duce this result are mainly as follows:
1. The officers elected under tho Lecomp
ton Constitution were chielly extremists, in
whom the people hail no confidence and to
whom tho people were unwilling to confide
the destinies of a new State.
2. die 'Legislature which was to come
into power had the ordinance been accepted,
was chosen when the notorious Lane was in
the zeuiih of his power, and a majority of
the members were understood lo be pledged
to his election to the U. S. Senate.
To these two considerations may In at
tributed in the main the defeat of this mens'
ute. Other considerations of coutse hail
their influence. Many of the people were of
the opinion that we ought, to remain a tern
loty until we were better able to issunie the
expenses of a Srate government. Others
astain desire the guardianship and protection
of the federal government, believing property
and life insecure should the government offi
cers and troops be withdrawn. Pro-slavery
men very genoially voted against it. bec-i'.ise
they preferred to remain a slave Teriitory
rather than become a free Sta'e, while many
Democrats vo e I against it, for the sake of
retaining (jrnv. Denver, and otliei federal
aopoiniees iu office, as their places would,
on the adoption of the Ordinance, have
passed into the hands of the ultra U'pub
Means.
The Administration and thk'Kaxsas
Issi'E if its New Phase. A Washington
correspondent writes :
I understand that it is the determination
of the President and his Cabinet, in view of
the recent vote in Kansas rejecting the
English Compromise. Constitution, to adhere
strictly to the alternative, presented in the
Conference bill, and to oppose the admis
sion of Kansas as a Sale into the Union
until she shall have the ratio of population
limited by tho Constitution of the United
States. This course will undoubtedly have
the effect of keeping the South and the Cabi
net in close nll'iiuce, while it will inevitably
provoke a furious contest between them and
the Black llepiibtieans, led by Douglas and
Seward. Many Democrats who voted for
the English bill will also be eqtiallj ready
to vote for the admission of Kansas next
winter as a free State, without regard to the
amount, of her population. If Kansas a-k
for admission as a free State during the
coming winter, the Black Republicans must
he defeated or the South wib have made a
prodigious step in the direction of disunion
or submission.
A Mysterious Affair. A gentleman
named Luvstcr. was to have been married in
Brooklyn, night before last. Tho bride was
all ready, awaiting Irs arrival. The clergy.
man, Rev. Dr Kennedy, was present, and
upward of fifty invite! guests, but, lo ! no
bridegroom came. Time wore away, the
night advanced, and still no tidings could bo
obtained. He was known to have come to
New York after some articles for the occa
sion in the afternoon, but, since that nothing
had ben heard of him. The company finally
broko in tho utmost dismay and astonish
ment. Mr. Lnvster, tiowever, turned np
last evening According to statements made
y his friends, ho stopped at a place in Ful
ton Street, Now Y"rk, and. drank a gluss of
soda. He made the acquaintance of two
strangers, and shortly afterwards, feeling a
peculiar sensation, arising, as he supposes,
rroiu druiis put into tho liquor, he wmt from
tho saloon where he met these men, and
hardly recollected anything until next morn
ing, when he found himself in Fourth Av
enue, with a Mint, sumcr suit on, m'tond
of a black suit, which he woro when he left
Rrooklvn.. Ho had two gold wwohes and
S250 in money, which had disappeared
with his clothes. He ha no definite recol
lection of any occurrence after he had im
bibed the soda water. The affair is certain
ly a very singular one from beginning to end.
A Rather Singular Theft. Oo last
Sunday night about 11 o'clock, as Mr. House
was riding alone the Panola road to town
from the Black Jack canjp meeting, he no
lined a man ahead on horseback. He made
an effort to overtake hint, but the man
evinced signs that ho did not care about his
eompany but he did overtake him, however.
After ndinff together a short distance, the
man said he must get down, and asked Mr.
HoiiffO to hold his horse.. He walked a few
yards, but immediately returned, .and after
taking a pair of sddlo" bags' off his horse,
broke and run through the woods as fast, as
he could, leaving Mr. H. holding the horse
that he had been riding, winch be brought to
town. The horse belonged to Jack Hale,
and bad been stolen at theBjafk Jack Qa,nip.:

CoTi. Colt's Ilovuts Claimed The Ba
ton Kongo Gazette has tho following :
By reference to the published proeeodmg of
the Agricultural and Mechanics Association
and State Fair of Louisiana, held in tin's
place in the year "Wo, it will ho seen that
a premium was awarded Mr. Litil, for a re
volving pistol the siinie bo lias now in bi
shop, an cleg wt and finished piece of work,
containing all that is now about Mr. Colt's
invention. There wore some, three thousand
strangers in town at that time and" the ad-
dross was delivered bv "Uein v Clnv of Ken
tucky." Some Yankee seized the idr-a of Mr,
Litil, and marched oft' to Yankee hind with it-
and no doubt Mr. Colt obtained it second
hand. Mr. Colt has made his everlasting
fortune out of it, which should satisfy him.
We claim for tho Capital of the State of
Louisiana, tho credit, of the invention,
and Mr.Colt (we think,) should bo willing
now to transfer the honor to our fellow-citi
zon, L. A. Latil, Esq., who is most certainly
entitled to it.

TYre WiNF-s.Dr. ffiram Cox. Inspector of
Liquors,. for Hamilton county, Ohio, gives the
following simple direction4! for testing the
purity ol wine:
First, heat a small qnnntftv of the liquid
over a spirit or oiT lamp," till the vapor
begins to rise If the liquor he mixed- or
nn imitmion with snirits added, hv teaching
a lighted taper to it, it will immediatetv take
fire, mid will continue to hum till all the
added spirit is burned out of it. If then the
fire is increased until ebullition, or boiling,
takes place, and the vapor will burn by the
application of the taper, it is mixed wine The
innate spirits of pure wine wifl not tako fiie
until the liquid is brought to a boil. Secon-I,
if an aricle which i presented to he ptiro
juice, or pure port wine, should be str-peeted,
heat as above. If t,e vnpr will not burn
when first it risv. nor will take fin from the.
application of the taper, when ebuiiitiou is
produced, yon may rely that titer'! is not one
drop of pure wine" in "the sample, and if bv
holding Home of it in your mouth for a short
time, and after spitting it out yoti find your
teeth on edge, or upon grinding them together
they appear to adhere, as if the enamel was
softened, you may rely on it that the srticle is
diluted sulphuric acid, as a base, with other
ingredients to give aroma, etc.
The Comf.t Cabinet, a French savant,
holds the opinion that the comet recently ob
served in several parts of Europe, is not the
celebrated comet of Charles V. In a commu
tiicaiion to the Jmirnat Jes Dthals, he savs :
This vear we have already five comets, two
of which ore periodical ; but none of them is
the comet of I55fi. called the ' comet of Charles
V.," on the return of which contrary opinions
of Mr. Hind and Mr. Hoeff divide tho scien
tific world. As for the comet no 5 of this
vear. which wns discovered bv M. Donate, at
Florence, on the 2d of June, it has no resem
blance to the same. The present comet ad
vances very slowly, and will be in the midst
appirttrnn about the 5th or fitri of Sent'-aber
nest. It goes towards the west; whereas,
the comet of Charles V went towards tho east,
so that they can no more be confounded than
the mail from Brest can be confounded with
that from Strasbnrg. Moreover there are 100
dog. difference in the position of the periheli
on, and the inclination is 824 dec.
