go III VIII between President Tdylor and
the wings, we have thought it our duty
to withdraw froma position in which we
can not rger maintain silence in our
view of certain conuoverted questions,
consistently with scll-lespect. Personal
fortunes we can sacrifice without regret
political associn,inns and relations are
too sacred to be tliled with or be aban-
doned.
THE CASTLES WE BUILT IN AIR.
There were builders strong ON the earth of old,
To-day there arc planners rare;
But never was temple, home, nor hold
Like the castles we built in air
Wepied them high thro the long lone hours
BY n illheartlis Pickering brands,
rirro- tru rwirigtrtS i-vuyy yviyir -oiut.,
showbrs
That found rs in stranger lands
The store was small and the friends were few
We ownd in those building days;
But stately and fair the fabrics grew
Tlatno gold of earth could raise;
For time was conquered and fortune moved,
Our wishes were builders there,
And OIL but there gathered guests beloved.
To the castles we built in air.
No place was left for the bonds and fears,
For the lore so sagely small ,u,
ofthisganny world that wesgs el.E ears
Awayinits thankles, tlFai
