stood beneath hollow tree
The blast it hollow blew
Thought upon the hollow world,
And all its hollow crew;
Ambition and its hollow schemes,
The hollow hopes we follow:
Imagination's hollow dreams
All hollow, hollow, hollow
A crown it is hollow thing,
And hollow heads Oft wear il;
The hollow title Of King,
What hollow hearts oft bear il
No hollow wiles, or honnyed smiles
Ofladies fair, follow:
For beauty sweet still hides deceit,
IT'S hollow, hollow, hollow
The hollow Tory but betrays
The hollow dupes who heed him;
The hollow critic who vends his praise
To hollow fools who feed him.
The hollow friend who takes your hand
Is but summer swallow
Whate'er see is like this tree,
All hollow, hollow, hollow

A WORD TO THE SLUGGISH.

Lose this day lettering twill be the same story
To morrow, and next more dlatory;
Thus INDIGESTION brings its own delays
And days are lost lamenting over days.
Are youin earnest2 Seize this very minute.
What you can do, or think you can begin it
Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it;
Only engage and then the mind grows heated
Begin it, and the work will be completed.

THE MADIS0NIAN.
From the Missouri Epsning Argus,
EDEN is MY HOME.

-<A' 49, Ava HAMMER
BY JOHN SEwLAND MAFrirT.
Oh, have roamed through many lands,
A stranger 10 delight;
Not friendships hopes, nor loves sweet SIN
Could make my pathway bright;
Till on the sky star arose
And liz nights sable dome,
Oh, steer my bark by that sweet star
For Eden 10 my home.
Oh, Eden IL my place Of rest,
long 10 reach its shore,
To shake these troubles from my breast,
And weep and sigh no more
To that fair land my spirit flies
And angels bid me come
Oh, steer my bark DER Jordan's wave,
For Eden is my home.
Oh, take me from this world Of woe
To my sweet home above,
Where tears of sorrow never flow
And all the air is love;
My sister spirits wait for me,
And Jesus bids me come,
Oh, steer my bark to that bright land,
For Eden is my home.

ANTI BOND MEETING.

The Citizens of Holmes County (Mi.) held
meeting on the 9th ult., for the purpose of ex.
pressing their views in relation to the Liability Of
the State Of Mississippi TO pay the bonds sold on
account Of The Union Bank. The following are
some of the resolutions adopted by the meeting
Whereas. There is great diversity of opinion
existing amongst the people Of Mississippi, in re-
latlon TO the liability Of the state, to pay the prn
cipa and interest OF the five millions bonds, is
sued in the name Of the state and sold on account
of the Mississippi Union bank; and extraordinary
efforts are being made by a portion Of our fellow
cIllzens to fix said liability upon the people in
their aggregate capacity: Whereas, the imposi.
ton of IA tax sufficient to meet its Liability, would
for years to come, dry up the steams Of prosperity
and paralze the productive industry Of our infant
state already borne down by The heavy hand of
pecuniary distress: And whereas, these bonds
were moi only negotiated in the grossesl frauds;
but issued ~ conlrnvention OF the constitution Of
the United States, and in open violation of the
express will Of the people Of the state as sci
| forth IN their constitution aud laws: therefore.

oil tbs meeting, that there is no legal for moral H.
ability on the paIt Of the state to pay OF cause to
be paid, Il Z debtcreaIed by the sale o" The bonds
named IN the nducemenl to those resolutions
there being no code OF laws or morals known tC
US which requires or sanctions the imposition Of .
tax 10 pay debt cleared in the lame of the PEG
pie Of the state, but IN fraud of their dearest rights
aud IN violation Of their constitution aud laws.
Resolrsd,3d, That as citizens oflhe state o
Mississippi we feel profound and undying int
rest IN the preservation OF It's honor; and will use
all proper exetlons 10 preserve It's faith lnviulate
but entertaining the firm conviction that these
bonds do not amount TO pledge Of the faith @
The state. Inasmuch as the ,people have neve

THE PRESIDENCY

As many OF our readers are not. perhaps, suff.
cIenty acquainted with The manner IN which the
Constitution and Congress have provided for the
death OF the President, Or that Of both President
and Vice Pr sldent. we give the following extracts
from the Constitution and from the avs Of the Uni
led States in relation 10 this matter, For these ar.
cleS, we are indebted 10 the Augusta Georgia
Chronicle. BY them our readers viii perceive that
the mantle Of the President, in case Of DEATH falls
upon the shoulders Of the Vice President who is
entitled tn The full power, authority, salary &C., Of
President, until the completion Of the term for
which the President was elected. That in II e
case OF the death Of both, an election is then pro
vided for by the act oil Congress given benw--,he
President pro. TEN. Of the United States Senate, if
there be one, il moi, the Speaker Of the House, act
