Once to the Mosque a Mosem came, and there

Quickly he cried, " Is then the service o'er?"
They answered, " Yes long ended is the prayer"
"Alas ~ he sighed and upward on the air
Floated the perfume Of that pentent cry
Exchange with me" said one, take thou my share

And give TO me that wounded hearts deep sigh"
So they exchanged. But in the night, a voice

Since the adjournment Of Congress,

make them believe that Cass indignantly

merly of the Globe, still supports him-bu
it can never beat il into them that the Buff

without first convincing them that Van Bu-
