THE STORMY PETREL.


This is the bird that sweeps DER the sea-
Fearless and rapid and strong is he !;
He never iorsakes The billowy roar
To dwell in calm on the tranquil shore,
Savewhen his mate from the terppes,'s shocks
Protects her young in The spinlered rocks.
Birds OF the sea, they rejoice in storms;
On the top of the wave you may see their
forms:
They run and dive, and they wbirl and fly
Where The glitlering foam-spray breaks on
high;
And against the force Of the strongest gale,
Like lhantouI- ships they soar end sail.
A II over the ocean, far from land
w hen the storm.king rises dark and grand,
The mariner sees the Petrol meet
The falhomless wave with siesdy-teet,
And tireless wing and dauntless breast,
Without home o. hope of rest.
So, mid The contest and toll ofli.e,
My soul! hen the hillows of rage and strife
A re tossing high, and the heavenly blue
Ia shrouded by vapors Of sombre hue
Like the Petrol wheeling Ger foam s. spray,
Onward and upward pursue thy way.

The. Legislature of Tennessee has
passed law to prevent the practice of
wearing Bowie knives and Arkansas
Toothpicks. the provisions of which we
should suppose. are sufficiently strong
to accomplish the objects intended.
They are as follows
The first section provides, that any
person who shall offer, or shall bring
Into the state for the purpose of selling,
any such weapon. shall for each wea-
pom sold. or offered 10 be sold, be
fined not less than 500, nor more than
5000, and imprisoned in the county jail
not less than one nor more than 6 months,
The I'd section provides, that if any
person carries concealed weapons be
shall be fined not less than $500, nor
more than $500, and imprisoned in the
county Jail rot less than three nor more
than 8 months, The third section pro-
vides, that, if any person shall draw
such weapon from place of conceal
ment about his person for the purpose
OF cutting or iptimidatjng any other per-
son, he shall be confined in the peniten-
tiary not less than three nor more than
FIVE years. The 9TH section provides,
that if any person carrying such a wea-
pom shall inflict an actual cut or stab
with it, he shall be confined in the pen
