Tric PLEASANT SPRING HAS
COME AGAIN.
BY ISAAC I‘. SHEPARD-
The pleasant spring has come again
Its voice is in the trees,
It speaks from every sunny glen,
It tides upon the breeze!
The scattered flocks are lowing,
Beneath each shady tree,
The gentle winds are blowing,
Oh cortie, rejoice with me !
The pleasant spring has come again.
I bear the rivers roar.
It sparkles, foatiis, and leaps, as when
My suiriitier skiff‘ it bore!
Sterit winter's chain is retitled,
The git.-‘hing founts are free,
And light with it ater blended,
Is dancing o’er the sea!
The pleasant spring has come again,
All iiattirt-.-’s heart is glad.
The inottiitaiiis rise like giant men,
And smile with beauty clad:
The pretty flowers are springing
In every greenwood shade.
Their perl'unie.s round them flinging
As sweet as Eden made.
The pleasant spring has come again,
The plougltiti;tii’s sung arise.
VVltile woodlaiid echoes mock, and then
The tlirtliirig cadence dies;
The merry birds are singing,
Afar the music floats,
And every vale is ringing
W'ith soft and mellow notes.
The pleasant spring has come again,
Its voice is in the trees,
It speaks from every sunny glen,
It rides upon the. breeze!
The pretty flowers are springing,
The giisliing foiirits are free,
The ntcrry birds are singing,
Let all rejoice with me !
TOUCH US GENTLY, TIME.
‘BY nAnm' COR.\'V't‘ALL.
Touch us gently, Tiitic !
Let us glide dowti thy stream
Gently—as we sometimes glide
Tlirongli a qttiet dreztiii!
Htiuilile voyagers are we,
Httsbttiid, wife and cltildren three-
(One is lo.-t——:tn angel fled
‘ To the azure overhead !)
'l‘otich us gently, Time !
\Ve’ve ntit proud or soaring wings;
Our auiliition. our content,
Lies in simple things.
Huinbla voyagers are we,
O'er lil'c’s dim, uttsoimded sea,
Seeking only sortie citlui cliine:
Touch us gently, gentle Time!

Atvny he ran like a rzibid dug. strai_t_rl.t for.

‘I say.’ muttvred the erfind boy, as he
strtgqr-red from the collisnn,
‘Do that tigaiii,’ growled the playc.-ird man

The following faithful description of the process
of manufacturing pins, and the benefits arising from
the Protective System, will be read with interest by
every person, wlietlier a politician or not. It is
from it correspondent of the Rochester Democrat,

THE AMERICAN PIN MANUFACTURE.
This is a wonder. It was begun at

about six years ago; and was follotverl bi

Mr Satnttt-l Sloctim of Pougbkr-epsic, who
cotttplt-it-d his in England and there sold his
patent at $5000. He returned and set up
the btisirte.-s. At first he had no govern-
ment piott-cliun, and met with n sev re re-

who respo-ctfttlly hinted that he should pin

arty pecuniary sacrifice. in order to |'fI‘t‘.Ci

MR. WEBS’l‘ER’S VIEWS OF
CHRISTI.-\NI'I‘Y.
The following is a beautiful extract from the re-
port, in one of the New York papers, of Mr. Web-
stct"s late splendid argument in the case of Girard'I
VVill:
“When on intellectual being finds himself
on this earth, as soon its the faciilties of rea-
son 0pt’l'2tl.t“, one of the first inquiries of his
triittd is "shall I be here always? "Shall I
be here forever .7” And those writers who
have l’)t‘¢'fl ct-It-bratt-rl for their essays on the
ldigniiy of human reason, say that of all sen-
tient be.-iiiqs titan only is competent of know-
ing that he is but to die. His rntiket‘ has
inside man only able to come to the knowl-
--dgc of the fact. Bi-fort: he knows his origin
ind desiiny. be krtott-s that he is to die I--
'l‘hen comes that most solemn. demand for
light that ever entered the mind of man,
which is set forth in the most lDl‘Olllpal'lll)le
composition, the book of Job—°'For there is
hope ofa tree. if it be citt down. that it will
sprout again and that the tender branch
thereof will btid and bring forth bougbs like
:i plant. But ifman die, shall be live again 7'
And Ilia! question nothing but God, and the
religion of Govt. can solve. tit-ligiori (Ines
solve it. and teaches every man that the do-
ties of this life have reference to the life
which is to t:ottie—-that moral conduct found-
rd on this grt-at religious truth, is the end

and the good, to sanctity human knowledge;
to bring it, as it were, M the baptismal font—
to bapiise letters with the sacred influence. of

and to siinctify them for the use and blessing
of the human race.
