I never hesr thy trembling string

To mind some bard Of early song:
For once. like thee, h" magic tale
In masio's widest lore was dress,
Nhen sorrow babe his numbers val,
Or hope deMs,ve soothed MS breast.
But now-he wants the zephyr's bres,h
That hoyers DER Thy trembling wire:
That pnet'. voice is stilled by death,
And cold those lips tina. could inspire
so-shut thee from the airy sprits
That gives thy mournfnl song IN breath;
The sven that ers, gave such delight
Shall cles- its lingering notes IN deals;
To sound no mor--for damp decay
Upon thy noudering Strings shall DWELL
And thou shalt breathe no further lay.
And thou shalt raise :. } future swell.
The bard whose harp !. now unstrung,
Whose eye is closed, whose cheek is Geld.
Again shall hear his anthems sung,
And see thsn played on Tyres OF gold.

Shall wake him from his listiess sieeP,
And lead him . the orient sky.
Where mer, is notdoomed to weep:
But where fairy rninstrers hand

While Shakespeare, with poet-band'
Shall rouse the organ, peal sublime.

HUMAN NATURE.


Written by Matilda Murray Of this city,

The human mind is like atlting field,
Where two contendiug champions scorn to

But IL. alas, to PASSIONS side ne lean.
Disorder reigns, asd desoiates the scene.
When Kemble was hissed by an
exasperated audience, in consequence
of rudeness previously offered to fr

he daily sacrifices integrity TO earthly

MISCEL LANX.

The following romantic account of an initi-
alton into the mysteries ofthe Jacobins, is Ia
ken from the second series OF Mr.. GRArTAN's
hghly-amusing work entitled "IIighways and
Byways. THE well-authenticated Histories
of the German illuminate, renderit probable
that this detail is not altogether fctitiousI
"Cornelius stopped for awhile in the
narrow path, on the brow of the hill, a.
long which his companion led the way;
and while he contemplated the calm
beauty of the scene, and felt as if his
whole thoughts could smoothly float
on the silver-surfaced stream, he was
reused by Armand, who stopped short
and said aloud
g sNow, citizen, we are arrived, in
the name of liberty advance and enter.
"Comelius started at the summons,
but recollected instantly the purpose
he had in mind, and with unhesitating
step he followed close upon his guide.
They entered cavity in the earth, al
most wholly concealed by branching
shrubs, and Armand having whisper
ed some watch-word, man dressed In
black received them in silence, and mo-
toned them to pass on. The passage
was narrow and winding, dimly light
ed at intervals by melancholy lamps,
which shone ON the dark walls, and
Showed occasionally grim ornaments OF
skulls and bones. They penetrated far
into one of those excavations which
are formed all along the face OF the bill,
and which were originally intended for
wine vaults, and most of them used as
such. In the depth of one OF these re.
cesses, the society OF the illuminate
held their secret meetings. Every
thing which could impose on the minds
of the weak, or rouse the imagination
Of the enthusiastic proselyte, was studi-
ed in the decorations of the cavern coun-
cil-chamber and its approaches. Dim
lights, black hangings, scattered In,
struments of death, and mementoes OF
mortality, were displayed in scanty and
solemn arrangement. Armand led on
followed by Cornelius, who felt no SEN
timent but contempt for the imposing
mummery; but at length when they
reached an opening space which Ar
mand announced as an anti-chambeI
of the council room, our hero started
with horror, and felt his blood run chill
as he observed three or four nakes
/ corpse lying on the floor, in the breas
of each of which dagger was stuck
while from each stream of blood RAJ
ftrickling.

led. He felt a species Of triumph IL

hideous trick to try the nerves OF the
proselytes. He struck at The bosom OF
the pretended victim. The groan is
sued, and the blood fowed-and the
curtain fell between him and the coun-
Gil chamber.
Armand sprang upon his feet, and
was with our hero hurried by the
mutes into another room, where brill
liant lights showed aparty Of upwards
of a hundred young men, carousing,eat-
ing, drinking and enjoying themselves
in strange contrast to the frightful or
deal through which the uninitiated
were made to pass. This mockery OF
blood and horror was used, as Corne-
lious had surmissd, to prove the cour-
age and desperation of those who
wished for admittance. Those who
had gone through the trial acted the
parts of the sacrificed Aristocrats'
Dead bodies were procured from the

"After these initiatory horrors,
which many Of the highly-excited
youths would, in the hey-day OF repub-
iican frenzy, have gloried in had they
been real, the uewly-admitted member
was all at once introduced into the
scene of festive enjoyment before de-
scribed. Beyond that there was no.
thing terrible. An oath of patriot

MoNnAx Oct LII 1904


MONDAY, Oct. IL, 1924.
The following report from Com
mittee appointed for the especial pur-
pose, was received, read, and after some
amendments. adopted by the society; *
ordered to be published in the Central
Gazette, and the American Farmer.
The Committee appointed at the
last meeting to prepare and report plan
for an Agricultural Exhibition and Fair
!. to be held by the Society in the autumn
of 1925, have given to the subject all
the consideration which in their opin-
ion, is due to it, from the unlimited
discretion conferred on them, in their
appointment. Regarding it mainly, as
an attempt to revive the zeal and ex-
ertions Of the Society; which much to
our reproach, has been too long dor
mant. Considering the subject as nov
ell and untried among us, and having a
due regard to the actual funds OF the
Society, the committee in recommend
ing first essay, are induced to limit
the exhibition to few subjects most
conformabIe to the objects which the
Society has in view, and best calcula-
ted in their opinion to attract public at
tcntion.-These consist:
1st OfAgricultural Implements, and parti-
cularly the Plough the perfection OF which
OUGHT to claim our first attention, as 1t is the
chiefinstrument for dividing the soil, and OF
course the basis of all our Husbandry.
I'd Fine Breeding animals, calculated for
the saddle or draft, for food or clothing, which
will comprehend horses and mules, neat cattle,
hogs and sheep.
Sd. Domestic Manufactures, in which the la
dies of our state will not be excluded from
due participation in our excrtions, or patriot
ic and praise worthy emulation IN that branch
ofindustrv which, is likely to become the only
source of clothing left to the Agricultural
States of the Union, if we may be allowed to
Judge from the efforts of the last session OF
Congress, to diminish our imports, by an In
creased tariff of duties. These will compre-
| bend fabrics wrought of wool and cotton, ei-
ther separate or mixed, OF FAX and OF hemp
Your committee are aware that there
are manv other subjects eminently en-
titled to the Society's encouragement
but at present they will confne their
recommendation to those above emu
merated, and now submit the following
scheme:
The Society will hold an Exhibition
and Fair Of Agricultural implements
Live Stock, and Domestic Manuiac-
lures, in Charlottesville and its yicini

and 9th days of November next, 1872.

POETRY.

The following soft and descriptive SONG is
from the pen of CUNNINGHAM, the pastoral
poet; and more beautiful description can.
not be found in the works of Theocritus or
Virgil;
Der moorlands and mountains, rude, barren,
AS wilder'd and wearied roam, land bare,
A gentle young shepherdess sees my despair,
And leads me DER lawns to her home.
Yellow sheaves from rich Ceres her cottage
had crcwn'd,
Green rushes were strew'd on the floor;
Her easement sweet woodbines crept wanton-
ly round,
And deck'd the sod seats at her door.
We sat ourselves down to a cooling repast,
Fresh fruits, and she GUILD me the best,
Till, thrown from my guard by some glances
Love silly stole into my heart. [she cast,
told my soft wishes; she sweetly replied;
(Ye virgins, her voice was divineD
"pve rich ones neglected & great ones denied,
But take me, fond shepherd, Pm thine"
Her air was so modest, her aspect so meek,
SO simple, yet sweet were her charms'
l kiss'd the ripe roses that crowd on her check,
And lock'd the lov'd maid in my arms.
Now jocund together we tend a few sheep;
Andif, on the banks of yon stream,
Xeclin'd on her bosom, sink into sleep,
Her image still softens my dream.
Together we range on the slow rising hills,
Delighted with pastoral views; [tlls,
Or rest on the rock whence the strramIet dis
And point out new themes to my Muse.
To pomp or proud titles she ne'er did aspire,
The damsel's of humble descent;
The cottager, Peace, is well known to her sire;
And the shepherds have named her Content.
To Young Lady, laughing IN Church.
Dear Laura you divinely fair,
Can laugh at Sermon, Praise, and Prayer!-
But Laura! is no reverence due
