of God from the very outset, live better. Yes, from
the outset would frown upon vice would favor
virtue and lend my influence 10 advance whatever

POETRY.
BEEGONEs.

"LET bycgoncs be byegoncs, they foolishly say
And bid me be wise and forget them;
But old recollcctious active to-day,
And can do naught but regret them;
Though the present be pleasant, all joyous and gay
And promising well for the morrow,
Hove to look back on the years past away,
Embalming my byegoncs in sorrow.
1.-THE morning of life has a mantle of grey
Its noon will be blither and brighter,
If March has its storm, there is sunshine in May
And light out OF darkness is lighter
Thus the present is pleasant. a cheerful to day.
With wiser, sobercr gladness,
Because it is tinged with the mclowing ray
or a yesterdays sunset of sadness.

itgeace. We arc encouraged in this enterprise from
the that not single paper fthis charac
ter is published in Western Virginia 1t is true, these
important interests have received attention in the
political journals ofhe day but must be admitted that
they have not occupied the prominence their great i'm
portance certainly deserves In purely political papers,
the interests oil party must matter OF be the
all absorbing topics We do not intend, by any MEANS
dccrying papers devoted manly to eoiitics-thcy
have their importance, and should DC encouraged and
read by every American Citizen who feels interest
ia the welfare Of his country. We do contend, how
ever, that party politics should not be allowed TO
gross our entrc thoughts but Education Religion the
Moral and Intellectual Sciences, Agriculture, Mcchan
ic Arts, and all else that promote own happ
or the prosperity and reuown of our venerable
Commonwealth, should receive much la ger share of
attention than they have hitherto DONE IL is i'm this
view of the subject, propose TO issue the
