From the preceding table, given in round

the organized sections of the United States
embraces ,261 200 square miles, and that Of
Iowa and Wisconsin combined amount to near

al population Of the United States does not

MAY SONG.
The following song of Earl Conrad of Kirch
,crg, is translated very closely, aid in the same
measure as the originals;
May, sweet May. again is come;
May that frees the land from gloom;
Children, children, up and see
All her stores Of jollity
Der the laughing hedgerows' side
She hath spread her treasures wide;
She is in the greenwood shade,
Where the nightingale hath made
Every branch and every tree
Ring with her sweet melody:
Hill and dale are Mays own treasures,
Youth, rejoice iii sportlve measures;
Sing ye! Join the chorus gay!
Hail this merry, merry May
Up, then, Children, we will 60
Where the blooming roses grow,
H. joyful company
We the bursting flowers will see;
Up! your festal dress prepare
Where gay hearts are meeting, there
May hath pleasures mos inviting,
Heart and sight, and ear dellghting:
Listen to the birds sweet song,
Hank! how soft it floats along
Courty DANES our pleasures share,
Never saw May 50 fair;
Therefore, dancing will we go:
Youths rejoice, the fow'rets blow;
Sing ye join the chorus gay
Hail this merry, merry May
Our manly youths,-whcre are they now
Sid them up, and with US go
To the sportcrs on the plain;
Bid adeu TO care and pain,
Now, thou pole and wounded lover!
Thou thy peace shall soon recover:
Many a laughing lip and eye
Speaks the light hearts gaiety.
Lovely flowers around we find,
La the smiling verdure twined,
Richly slcep'd in May-dews glowing:
Youths rejoice, the flowers are blowing:
Sing ye join the chorus gay
Hail this merry, merry May!
Oh, if to my love restored,
Her, Ger all her sex adored,
What supreme delight were mine!
How would Care her sway resign!
Nerrily in the bloom of May,
would weave garland gay;
Better than the best is she,
DuTer than all purity
Tor her spotless self alone,
will sing this changeess one
Thankful or un thankful, she
Shall my song, my idol be.
Youths, then, join the chorus gay!
Hail this merry, merry May

hero of Buena Vista in an exchange paper.

In traversing the field of battle, it was ne
cessary to cross bridge which was constant

approaching it, it was agreed that they Ghe
General and his staf,) should cross it singly
at gallop. Four had crossed thus. when it
came to the Generals turn. Just as he reach
ed the middle OF the bridge, and when the balls
were showering around him, something going
wrong in another pant OF the field attracted
his attention. Stopping his horse, (nuch to
the discontinue of those following him,) he
deliberately took out and arranged his spy
glass, satisfied himself, and then closing it.

PROSPECTUS OF THE
YPNILANIT SENTINEL,
VOLUME FOUR


In coming before the public with the fourth VOL
the ssSentine'' we find favorable opportunity of
etching slight programme of our intentions,
hich we shall endeavor to fill duriag the year. We
ave been Hattered more during the year just PAST
it'll the satisfaction expressed by patrons than
" any considerable increase cfour subscription list
So great the obstacles which country press has
to contend with that it must necessarily win its way
slowly into public favor. In this respect we trust
xohaysWaie some advance. With ~ greater
experience We nov ~ of the peculiar tastes of our
reading community we hope to advance still farther.
The '.Sentinel'' will continue to advocate the
measures of the Wing party so far as those meas
ures are now developed nor do we apprehend the
adoption of any doctrine by that party which our
private Judgment shall force US TO oppose;-yet in
the eveats of the future hold sacred the rights OF
private opinions. Its political features shall, howev-
er be kept at all times, free from personality and
unfair argument.
Should our patronage soon warrant it we shall
make considerable addition to the amount of our
political readings but cannot promise this except
on the condition Of largely increased subscription
-IN MISCELLANEOUS READING we trust we shall be
able to please the young the middle aged, and the
old. For this purpose increasing the amount and
selecting it for wider range of the current tera-
ture of the day than heretofore
We shall he constantly on the look out for the
richest jokes Of Punch, Judy, Yankee Doodle, and
kindred hurnorists While the whole troop of Lite-
rary' periodicals viii be made to yield their choicest
gems We should be glad if we were able to prom
Use something original in this line, and we trust thai
may be able to find in the course of the year,
if so it win not be held back because we are not Oh
ligatcd by promise to produce It.
Our GENERAL MTELLIGEScE will be copious, cor
rect, and early The various and multifarious de-
signs of weekly journal we shall endeavor in shor
to fulfill the best ofou ability: Of which the pub
lie have now had some two years experience.

And pies and cakes besides,
To load the stomach, pain the head,
And choke the vital tdes;*
And if too soon afriend decays,
Or dies in agony
Well talk of Goods mysterious ways"
And lay it all to thee.
Give us, to please morbid taste,
In spite.of pain and death,
Consumption strings around the waist,
Almost to stop the breath.
Then If infrniity attends
Our stinted progeny,
In visitation for our SIMS
Well lay it all to thee.
Give Us big bustes in the rear,

A thing for corn field crows to fear,
And hens to roost upon.
And if we heat the hi and spine,
What matter should it be?
When sickness follows, we can whine,
And lay it all to thee.
Give us good houses, large and tall,
= To look the.cabins down.
And servants lodging at our call,
And shaking at our frown.
The poor, however, worthy they,
Well treat quite scornfully;-
Then six pence pay, communion day
And settle up with thee.
We do disdain TO toll and sweat,
Like girls of vulgar brood!
Of labor give US not bit,
For phvsic, nor for food.
And if, for want of exercise,
We lack the stamina
Of those we trample and despise,
Well lay it all to thee.
Ifany curse we have forgot,
That on a votary,
Fashion lets fall, withhold it not,
But send it grievously.
And if too hard to milestone light
For frail humanity
Well never blame ourselves MET,
But lay it all to thee.
Yes, give us coffee, wine and tea,
And hot things introduce,
The stomach swarm bath thrice day,
To weaken and reduce!
And if, defying natures laws,
Dyspeptic we must be-
We scoFn to search for human cause,
But lay it all to thee.
