Err or RAM.
Sweet vis,ant of Spring, hear,
Through the keen whistling breeze
Thy strains; which charm the op'ning yea
And the rejecting please;
Welcome to me, endearihg mate,
To tune Thy moanfut song,
And rejection sage. create,
As seasons roll along.
But Yesterday tliy plumage did,
Cut by the Northern blast,
But yet thy nature ne'er beli'd,
Enjoy'd the pleasure past.
To day, though spring has usherd in,
With rafting wind and rain,
Thou still can'st show thy heavily mein,
Still sing in music's vein
What wise lesson this for me,
Who weakly am and frail,
Who, no happiness can see,
When Nature seems to s,dH
What looks so uniform and wise
In reason as tho Dove!
Though tempcsts beat and troubles rise,
She's life and joy and love.
Then why can't ], who reason have,
Forever be sedate>
When anguish gnaws and passions rave,
Find bliss in even state?
When av'rice goads-ambitious strife,
Malice, Jealousy, Revenge
Envy, who dies while others live,
In aching misery plunge
Why cannot to evil blind,
To peace and content giv'n,
Always preserve an even mind,
And make cen sorrow heav'n9
Could but thee, sweet bird of peace,
From every tumult freed,
Resemble in thine angel ease,
should be blessed indeed.
/ should be happy, spite of fate,
And all the demon throng,
-Beatifed in humble state,
In echo to thy song.
Serenity should crown my brow,
With a celestial wreath,
And ev'ry state should give me noSv,
What bliss thy accents breathe.
Go on, sweet cherub, chaunt thy strain,
In pious symphony,
And charm away each vagrant pain,
With heavily minstrelsy:
And when fair morning opcs her port
With modest light ard shade,
Attune thy matin from thy throat,
Within each op'ning glade.
Sing that Aurora's beam bespeaks
In sober majesty,
The youth which from thy accents breaks
Sportive yet docile, free.
And when the ev'ning sun declines,
Far down his western way,
And peerless Luna gently shines,
To ape the charms of day.
When twinkling orbs of ebon night.
Spangle the mellow grove,
In vespers pregnant with delight,
Revere the Cod of .ove
In wind. in storm. in rain, in snow,
Thine prisons emit,
And by thy pious calmness show,
no harm The good ccnJiight.

The following census gives comparative
view of the population of the United States
in the years 1901 and 1911, exhibiting an in
crease almost unparalleled in the history of
nations. This vast accession of national
strength, could only have arizen from the un-
eSampled prosperity whichhas attended re-
public founded upon the basis Of civil & religi-
Gus liberty, under which every sect & denom-
nation has enjoyed participation Of equal
rights; and firmly establishes the principle
that NO form of government is more happily
adapted to the prosperity of nation than
that which seconds the laws Of nature, by gi-
wing security to the rights of man.

FOR THE ENQUIRER.

At a meeting Of the Richmond Society for
promoting Agriculture, held ON the I'd
instant:
The Corresponding Committee, who were
required, by resolution of the last meeting,
to make report specifying the particular
objects to which the attention of the Society
should be directed. and the best means of
obtaining information thereon, did in confor-
mity to the said resolution, submit to the So.
ciety number ofqueries: which being
read and considered, were, after some a :
mendments and additions. approved, and or.
dered to be published.
They are now published, under a hope
thatth persons qualified to give information
on any of the subjects to which they relate,
will consider themselves as individually
called OH to communicate to the Society, for
the public benefit, the results @! their obser-
walton and experience.
The object of the society, is to collect
from every quarter, and to diffuse, all the
information which has tendency to pro-
mote the agriculture OF Virginia. II is we'll
known, that there are in various parts OF
this state, individuals distinguished for their
industry, skill and success, 10 the cultiva-
ton Of the earth. knowledge, however,
can be impaired by oral communication, bot
to few, and the beneficial influence of in
dividual practice, however judcious and
profitable, must be confined within very
narrow limits-To remedy this evil, the so
ciety proposes to collect all the practical
agricultural knowledge of the country. and
to convey tito the public. in the way which
may be deemed most conducive to the gene
raj welfare. In this undertaking, they call
for, and confidently expect, the aid Of all
whose studies and labors enable the m to add
to or improve the public stock of agricultu.
raj information.

LONDON, October IL.
The following are extracts from our Monl-
tours:
SoLEURE, Sept. 90.
The subsequent particulars are the sub
stance of decree of the diet of coniedera-
ton relative to the Swiss soldiers IN the SER
vice of England.
aThe Die, of the confederation having con-
sidered. that Notwithstanding the Decree as
sued under its authority in compliance with
the wishes of the French emperor prohibiting
all recruiting and emolument for the military
service of those powers with which Switzer-
land is not IN alliance, II is discovered that
there are in the English service certain indi-
,iduals of whom his imperial majesty requires
Of the Swiss government the immediate recall;
the said diet convinced that the near reia-
lions between France and the contedera-
ton with respect to commerce, make 1t obi
e.tory upon the latter to accommodate itself
10 the wishes of mis- Imperial Majesty, and to
remove every obstacle which may impede the
recruiting from the Swiss regiments already
ENGAGED In the service of France, and De-
crees, as follows:
ART. !. The Swiss now in the British SER
vice are recalled, and to the end OF the pre-
sent wear is allowed for their return; and those
who, after that term shall be found disobedient
to this order, shall forfeit their right of citizen
ship and their property.
ART. II. Every Swiss, who after the pub
lication of this Decree, shall enter into the
Military service of England, shall suffer the
same penalties :,
ART. III. The Landamman will submit
the present decree to the Customs for their
ratification, without delay, and the Govern
nent will provide that all possible means OF
publicity be given to it that none may plead
ignorance of the same.
