Unwilling subjects OF thy frozen reign
Such homage we thy sovereign person pay
AS Persia paid to phillips conquering son."
Or Rome To Nero, who could joy to see

When thou at Zero dost thy court convene,
And freeze thy subjects with thy whitening breath
Breathed forth from lungs as cold as northern seas,
And with heart OF everd.iring ice.
Thy ministers, the chilling blast, the driven snow,
And blood congeang frost strike terror to the hearts
Ofthy deifnceIeSs subjects. Thy partial reign
Proves thee II tyran OF the darkest hue;
The rich defended by their walls and furs,
Defiance bid to thee and to thy reign.
And thou connivins at their wealth dost make
Thy reign festive season, full Of G,irh aud glee
While on the poor thou pOUr'st h' vengetul wrath
Aud naught but des'ilulon, wretchedn:ss aud woe

But not to man alone art thou unwecome,
Animals and auglt that lives shrink from thy touch,
And tremble at thy presence, even earth,
Beneath thy rel n is shorn ofall her beauty,
And with cullen gloom submits to thy embrace,
Reserving all her smiles for thy successor.
And yet of virtues thou art not devoid;
Designed by nature for some useful end,
That end thou dos fulfil, forming n link
In that most glorious chain of Natures laws
BY which she governs all her works and realms
With wisdom Infinite and thus ordained
BY Nature, aud with her laws in harmony
Divine, we will revere thee, though thou dost rule
With u rod of iron. Aud thus like thee
Nav we our destiny fulfil, and act the part
Designed by nature that we should perform.
Then and not till then may man reclaim

When the Lion and the Lamb shall meet in peace,
And peace aud love triumphant reign.

ANCIENT LEGISLATION IN VIRGINIA.
We are not aware that Virginia orleina
y had complete code Of Blue Laws
but the old settlers must have had some
queer notions abou. Legislation. For ex-
ample, the dlvulger Of false news or ru-
mors was sub ject to fine of 900 lbs of
tobacco. An act was passed in 1862 for
the spiritual profit of "schismatcaI per>
sons who, "el'htr out Of averseness 10
The orthodox established reIio on, or out
of the new tangled conceits OF their own
heretlcdl Inventions, refused 10 have their
children baptized" llproviIed that every
person who, when it was in their power,
refused to carry his child to a lawiu min
lister 10 have it baptized, should be Gamer
ced two thousand pounds oftobocco; hall

ing of PeGo baptism. There was anoth her
act of the same date, we believe, which
savored lIlle of the gaIIantry on which
modern Vlrgnlans plume themselves -
The preamble sets forth that "lnany bah
bling women Islander aud scanduIlze their
oeighbors, for which their poor husbands
are ofen Involved in chargcabe and vex.
atious suits' The act provided, that in
actions of SANDER, occasioned by the wife
after judgment passed for damages, the
woman shall be punished by dackjag."
If the damages were greater than five
hundred pounds of tobacco. she was to
have the benefit OF d0chjng for each five
hundred pounds adjud9ed against the hus
band, it he should refuse 10 pay the tobac-
co. Undrr such law, the presumpioi
is that the land enjoyed quite a rest from
