The Express is now one of the largest,

State, being printed on a No. 4 Washington
Press, upon new Type, from tlie Foundry of
L. Johnson & Co., Philadelphia, and Paper

Security for" the American Union.. Corrup

Partv tvranny, which was inaugurated by a
bogus Democracy m years past, and has been
strengthening its chains by falsehood to the
present day, humbugging the people by de
ceitfhlness". will be assailed, and, if possible,
its manacles sundered, so that the minds of
the people may be liberated, and allowed to
think as freemen for themselves. '

We saw him once amid a brilliant throng
'Mid mirth and gloe, and wild ennobling song.
They hauat nw still, those falcon eyus,
The soul of music in them Ues,
That eagle glance still, wanders thro' my dream,
Life-spirit life, was in that burning gleam.
That Voice so wildly sweet, its notes might seem
The ethereal cadence of a witching dream, .
Or spirit-notes from worlds unknown,
Electric power in every tone :
It haunts me still, still trembles thro' my heart,
, And teems of each wild throbbing pulse a part.
Yet once more looked we on that proud pale brow,
' la dreamy hour, when earth's sad sounds are low;
On him the gifted son of song,
The guiding star of a myriad throng.
Tet shadow and rainbow alike are the guests
That flit o'er the pcet's haunted breast.
He went as h came, and only now knowp,
By numbers inspiring, or rapturous tone;
And then, as harp-string with a sib.
Breaking mid thrilling harmony.
We heard a hushed-whispen a farewell tone,
A deep lightning glauce; the stranger was gono!

Widow Shore, who lived in a little
house down by the hill, looked smil-
ingly upon Tommy, her son, w;ho had
cut from the asparagus bed several
bunches of that succulent vegetable,
Tommy put the well-washed branches
into the basket, and went to the city a
short distance from the little village,
and in an hour and a half returned
with a dollar and some cents, which
he gave to his mother.
Susan Shore had been a widow for
four years, yet she was scarcely thirty-
five years of age. Tommy was the on-
ly child she had, and his mother' wor-
shipped him much; on Tommy her hopes
seemed to centre, and she endeavored
to inculcate in. his mind sound princi-
pies and precepts. Tommy was thir-
teen years of age, and as his mother
was poor, of course had to helpther to
get a living. Attached to Widow
Shore's house was about an acre of
land, which the widow with the help
of Tommy, raised vegetables for mar-
ket. In the winter Widow Shore serv-
ed for the rich people in the city, from
whom she would occasionally get sub- your house and lot which is moe, i pitchfork to make the monste release

said the widow, as Tommy handed her
the money that he had obtained by the
sale of his asparagus.
Nothing,' only John Martin,; the
blacksmith, said that he would make
me a kite if I would get some kite-line
to fly it with, but I ain't got any mon-
ey, and you want all ymi can get, to
buy things with, said tommy.
Poor boy, said the widow, as she
brushed a tear from her eye.
All the other bovs have got kites
even Dan Carr, and he's as poor as I
am, added Tommy.
Nevermind, Tommy; the day will
come, I trust, when Providence will
bless you with all that can be wished

the widow, who was now kneading

Well, said Dan, you know down in
the field Deacon Styles has put cord

the corn?
