How delightful to range by thy grass-man'

To view the sweet fields that environ thy Dor.
ders,-
But those who now view thee may yiow thee
no more.
Yet calm as thou art, . thou sweet little ocean,
Full soon the rude breezes may ruille thy wave,
Yet ere they shall set thy smooth surface in
motion,
The bard that now sings thee may sleep in
his grave.
And those harvest.clad fields that now wave
in such splendor,
BY hutumn's cold blast will be stripped Of
their pride,
Yet their owners ere that may relinquish
their grandeur,
And quietly sleep in the grave by thy sido.
And the broad sun that er thee now rolls in
his brightness,
Full soon will be hid by the hills OF the west
Yet the heart that now dances in vanity's
lghtncss,
Ere that may from Ill it's fond be at rest.
But scarce from thy surface the day.beans
shall vanish,
And nights sable curtain shall brood DER thy
wave,
Ere the moon with mild ustrc the darkness
shall Danish,
Bot no moon shall illumino the night of the
grave.
Yet the morn shall arise when the sun in his
glory,
Majestic shall open the windows of day,
And riding aloft in his brightness shed DER
thee,
The brightest effulsonce that flow, from his
ray.
And thou too o man, when thy night shall
have ended,
And death from the gravo shall relnquish his
prey,
May st thou with Immanucl's glory bo blended
And walk in tho light of Eternity day.

reprobated practice so barbaroas, and urged the

rules Of all civilized natlons-at the same time Of
fering fifty dollars fn the prisoners. Six of them
were blacks. one of a swarthy complexion, and
one exceedingly fair. During the conference they
