A song of gladness of a place of biiht and

Where all the tears of grief and pain are wi-

It hath its tones of gladness to cheer the
captive a breast
And to his lonely heart will briog the blissful
dreain of rest;
And wlilo in solitude he pines for kindly
smiles and" friends,
Still in its broken melody their forms and
sm les it sends; i
Which speak to his heart in language most
t&iichingly sweet,
And whisper though now far away, again
shall we meet.
And when his mother's smile in sweetness
round him lingers,
lie feels upon his fevered brow, the touch of
fairy fingers.
And then the "music of his heart" will, sing

And cbeers him, though in battle's heat his

And though around groans of men, who lay

'T-s wafted on the gentle breeze, the happy
smiles of j'ore.
It brings around him gentle words, of friends

And sweetly sings him of a time, a happier,

And when the clouds of sorrow and care and

The united strength of sinfulness, of rev

Would lower above his little bark and

Yet will it hie him to the place where he shall

To hear them talk, you would think they were

They have united politics with religion not
for the- purpose of calming the angry -pas-

many instances, of leading good men into the
snares of sin. "Preaching piety, they prac-
tice persecution; and while i: irivokingthe fa-
thers of liberty, endeavor to break 1 through
the Constitution. From their frequent boast
of being rJNatiVe i Americans,5 V:ybu would sup-
urally look for the feathers in their' heads and
the clouts around their waists. But this is
only one of their modes of deception. They
know that foreigners; discovered this country,

is obvious, either that the Know Nothings
are descended from the federalists, or they fare
wholly degenerate andf unworthy of theirjan-

A better proof of the demoralizing effects
of this midnight cabal cannot be found than
hat men who owe their very existence and
position in society. to parents of foreign birth
forgetful of their lineage, have shamelessly
joined these conspirators, and assisted to cast
obloquv on their own blood and race. '$
In their crusade after office with a dis-

naturalised citizens "foreigners" thus adopt-
