OH! BE THOU HAPPY.

Who carols free his joyous lay;
Nur heeds his brothers mourntul plant,
Who, ieitered, signs his life away.
Like him lie happy tor his song
Unlinged win gre. the wildwood rings;
What care,h ne for brother lost
More brisk he lies-b;lher he sings.
Oh be thou happy like the stream
Which gladly DER the meadow leaps,
Glis;enns win many 4 beamy smile;
While underneath lis cold wave sleeps
Full many corpse. whose once bright eyes
Gazed gladly on lis crystal face;
The stream cares not, but onward flies,
Nor leaveth OF those eyes trace.
Beever happy! lie, THY hear,
Contain no sorrow not its own;
Wreathe il with bright and beaming smiles;
Let it give forth bu, Joys glad tone;
Lei others sigh, but sigh thou not;
Let others weep--:hou not tear;
Though bi,ler be Thy brothers lot,

The Wing Convention at Harrisonburg, to
"revolulionize The Tenth Legion" was perfect
failure. Only t.centv.fw members appeared
from the whole disric'. The nomination OF d
Wing candidate is SD 10 be The weakest thai,

says:
We really cannot consider The nomination Of
our Wing friends in any other light Than as small
game, The smallest possible game. A triumph
Of our party and OF our principles in the person
Of our present able, sensible, discreet, prudent
and weIl-inlormed representative, over such
nomination, would be considered by us but a
poor triumph indeed. Or were our Wing friends
