"Speak out, Ole Virginia! With the same
thrilling words proclaim the condemnation of trail
tors, and the success of glorious e."-Mad-
isonidn.
1t is exceedingly fortunate for John Jones that
"there is no law for back handed stroke" in
which light we must regard the above heavy i'm
precation upon Captain Tyler. We cannot be-
lleve that the editor intentionally aimed SO heavy
blow at the President, and yet every body will
agree that he has hit him and his pack of political
stock jobbers right between the eyes. And what
is better than all, Virginia has nobly responded to
the call-she has "spoken out" and proclaimed
the condemnation of traitors, and the success of
glorious cause" If Captain Tyler should hap
pen to construe the remark of the Madsonian in
the same way that other people do he will be
likely to send John Jones to Botany Bay for his
impertnence.

Not in the shadowy wood,

Nor where the echoes brood
In caves uninl BY men;
Not by tile bleak sea shore,
Where barren surccs break,
Not IN the mountain hnar,
Not by The brer2s!ess lake,
Sol on the desert plain
Where man hath never stood,
Whether on Isle ar main
Not there Is solitude
Birds are In woodland bowers,
Voices in lonely de'ls;
Streams To the listening hours
Talk in earih's secret cells;
over the gray ribbed sand.
Breathe Ocean's froihy lips;
O'er the still lakes strand
The wild flower iow'rd IL dips:
Pruning the mountains crest
Life losses III its pines;
Coursing the deserts breast
Life in the s,eed's name shines.

Leave nature for the crowd

With Kindred mind endowed;
There-as with Nature erSt
