THE FALL OF TnE OAK.

BY o. HrLL Ese., AUTHOR OF 1HE RUINS OF A1nEss, Sc
GLoNous tree the old gray OAK,
lie has stood for a thousand years,
Has stood and frowncd
On tho woods around,
Like king among his peers;
As round their king they stand, 80 now,
When the flowers their pale leaves fold,
The tall trees TouuL him stand, nrr1yed
In their robes of purple and gold.
The autumn sun looks kindly down,
But the frost is the lea,
And sprnkles the horn
OF the owl, at nom,
As sho HES TO the old oaklree.
Not leaf is stirred,
Not sound is heard
But the thump of the thrcsheT's nail,
The low winds sigh,
Or the distant cry
or the hound on the iox's trail.
The forester, he hrs whstling plunged
With his axe, in the deep wood's gloon,
That shrouds lle MI,
WHARF, few aud chill,
The sun~beams struggling come
His brnwny arm he has barred, and lad
His axe 1T the root Of the tree,
The old gIpy oak,
And, with lusiy stroke,
lie wields II monily.
With lusty stroke,
And the old gray OAK,
Through the folds OF his gorgeous vest,
You may see him shake,
And tina night-owl break
From her perch in his leafy crest,
She will COME but to find him gone from whore
lie stood at the break OF day;
Like tho cloud that peals US i melts to air,
lie has passed with crash, away!
Through the spring in bloom and the frost in gold
No more his limbs attire,
On tho stormy wayo
lie shall float, and brave
The blast and the batte-fre'
Shall spread his white wings to the wind,
And thunder on the deep,
As he thundercd when
His bough was green,
% tho high and stormy steep!

Shooting proper resentment. At the last session
of the General Assembly in Rhode Island, bill
was passed exemptiDs the property ofnegroes
from taxation on the ground that they were debar-
red from participation in social and political priv,
ljeges. The exemption gave offence 10 some OF
petition that the law be repealed, and that taxes
be imposed upon them in the same way US upon
the white people. They say that If they are taxed
they have claims upon the General Assembly which
they cannot otherwise urge. We question: says
the Providence Journal, il history will furnish an-
other example of body ofmen demonstrating a
gains, being exempted from TAXATION.
