From the Hartford Patriot.
NEW ENGLAND, I LOVE THEE.
New England, love thee-the Indian once strayed,
With stature erect where our gardens are made;
His wigwam once stood where our palaces stand
For he was once lord Of this paradise land.
New England, love thee-thy rocks and thy rills,
Thy deep, winding valleys, and high broken hills;
Thy forests and rivers thy mountains and glens,
Thy tumbllng eataracts grottos and lens. ~
New England, I love thee-thy fathers of yore
Struck noby and firmly, while crimsoned with gore !;
Better souls never rested in easements Of clay
Than in those that have hunted the tyrants away.
New England, love thee-thou land of the free,
Half grted by mountains, half girted by sea
Thou home Of my childhood, thou land of my birth,
/ hold thee the dearest Of all lands on earth!
New England, love thee-thou land Of the brave,
In thv BORDERS tbe Stricken a NAV IND resTeat.
And the weary may rest meath thy green arbor seat
New England I love thee-thy tall waving pines,
Thy strong mountain oaks and meandenng vines;
Oh! love thy sweet bowers and towering lanes,
Thy wide spreading meadows and girted plains.
New England. love thee-here virtue and lore,
Walk slster-lke ONanard while upauord they soar;
Here the proud mOcking monarch may never intest,
While we wear the Pilgrims" immaculate crest!

The Friendless.-Iis remarkable how single word
