EXECUTION ANECDOTE.

rigible wag who had stationed himself for
special purpose, amidst group of females
who attended to witness the execution OF
Horn, at Baltimore:
Drawing near to an old man with whom
he had slight acquaintance, he fixed his
eyes upon the gallows, and with seml-ab
stracted manner, and due solemnity of fea
ture, remarked:--

TWO DOLLARS PER ANNUM!

TWO DOLLARS PER ANNUM!!
On and after this date, May 10, ls43, the price
of the BOSTON NOTION will be only FOUR
cents single copy, and s2,O0 per annum in adj
vance, for ali new subscriptions. The Notion
will continue to be printed IN the same size and
style of Typography as heretofore, and no effort
will be neglected to make il the most sterling
and valuable Literary, Miscellaneous, and Cen
eral Newspaper IN the county. Farmers
Department is nov attached to the Notion, and
two or three of the immeose columns the pa.
per are occupied each week with articles OF
special interest and value to the Farmer.
POPULAR LECTURES--By loAFER-is
another new feature added to the paper. These
Lectures are intended as n stake OFF, of the
numerous humbugs that are constantly rising
up-and the several Numbers that have already
been published have given the LECTURES
great elibrity throughout the country. Inc
most popular Tales ofthe American and English
Magazines and occasionally Sermons from em-
inent Divnes, will continue to be given in the
Notion as heretofore. All these matters united
must nee eisarily give the Notion very large
sale in every city and town throughout the
country. 1t should be borne in mind that the
Notion is TWICE the size of the three cent papers
and nearly one third larger than the Philadel
phia weeky's, for by so doing the extraordinary
cheapness of the Notion will be more duly
appreciated.
IJOur Agents throughout the country, will
please take notice of these reductions in the
terms ofthe Boston Notion, amp they will oblige
us by causing il to have as much publicity as
possible in their several districts. The price to
agents will be $500 per hundred.

MY NATIVE LAND.

Her vine clad hills and sunny skies,
Let fair Italia boast;
Let Albion's mariner with Joy
Gaze on her chalky coast.
Lot GaIia's sons with Gallo pride,
OF queenIy Parish vaunf;
And proud Hispania's naughty bards,
Their boas,ful legions chaunt.
NV theme is still my native land;
On her nv song shall dwell;
And y, that in worthy strains,
Her excellent nigh, tell
What though her rude and rocky sleeps
No ruined castles crown;
What though above her giant trees
No feudal turrets frown.
Her mansions are the seats of peace;
Her towers are learning's halls;
The temples of the living God
These be her feudal walls.
Let Europe point, with blood stained hand,
To fields Of streaming gore;
And boast her deadly camba', waged
On every sea and shore.
The sacred soil Of Bunker Hill
And Lexington, is red
Not with the blood ambition spills,
But that for freedom shed.
In vain the list Of noble names
Proud warriors-are unfurled;
Our hero far out-shines them all,
The hero of the world.
While lives the fame of WASHINGTON,
Her names shall ne'er be DIM
eColumpa's name that gave him birth,
That owed her birth to him.
Yes! wherosoe'er my feet may roam,
Whatever realms see,
No land find like childhood's home;
NY native land for me.
