WESTERN HOSPITALITY.
By GEORGE p. MORRIS.

Hard by l've cottage that stands near ihe wood
A 'trcrm glides in peace at the door,
Where all that are weary, 'tis well understood,
Receive hospitality's store.
To cheer that the brook and the thicket afford,
The stranger We freely invite:
You're welcome TO come aud partake at The
board,
And afterwards rest for the night.
The birds in the morning will sing from the trees
And herald the young god of day;
Then with him upspring, depart if you please,
Wen set you refresh'd on your way.
\ our coin for this service We stemy reject
No traffic for gain we pursue,
And all the reward that we wish or expect,
We take in the good that we do
Mankind are all trav'lcTs ON life's rugged road,
And myrOds would wander astray
In seeking eteruity's sile abode,
Did mercy not point out the way
Hall would their duty discharge as they should,
To thOSn that are helpless aud poor,
The world would resemble my cot near the wood
And life the sweet stream at my door.

" The position of affairs in Rhode

full Of painful apprehensiOns TO the
advocates of free principles throughout
the world.
The people of that State demand only
their rights, and strange it may seem this
demand is treated by the Federal press
throughout the country, with few hon
orable exceptions, in spirit oflevity and
contempt. The issue involves first prin.
ciples-,hose upon which our institutions
are based; the shedding of blood would
be an unfortunate termination of the con.
troversy, but far less deplOrabe than the
overthrow Of popular sovereignty.
The interference of tho general gov.
