A BILLION of acres Of unsold land
Arc lying in grievous dearth;
And millions of men in the image Of God
Arc starving all over the earth
o! tell me, yc sons of America,
How much mems lives are worth
Ten hundred millions of acres good,
That never knew spade or plow--
And million of souls in our goodly land,
Arc pining in want, trow;
And orphans are crying for bread this day,
And widows in misery bowl
To whom do these acres of land belongi
And why do they thriftless liei
And why is the widows lament uuheard'
And stincd the Orphans cry'
And why are Poor House and prison full
And the gallows-treo built high'
Those millions of acres belong to man'
And his claim is-that he needsi
And his title is signed by the hand of God
Our God, who the raven feeds.
And the starving soul of each iamishing man
At the throne of Justice pleads

Whose hearts as rocks arc cold
But the time shall come when the fat Of God
In thunder shall be told
For the voice of the great AN hath said
That the land shall not be Sold"

Western Farmers Insurance Company,
OF .N'EW LISBON OHIO.

This Company was organized, and commence
ed issuing Policies the first of May, 1850.
And although il has been in operation but
about eight months, we are able to report as
follows:
Whole number Of Policies issued 1000

+" amount of Premium Notes, $40
Of Cash Premiums, 5,S9l
of losses, 200
Balance of Cash Premiums above losses, 5,l3l
From the above it will be seen that we al
ready number moro members than most of the
Mutual Insurance Companies that have been in
operation for the last ten years, and have more
Cash on hand than any other Company in the
State on so small an amount of risk. Tho as
tonishing success with which this Company has
met is good evidence that it is one of the best
institutions in the country and it is believed
that it stands unrivallcd for libcrality and fair
dealing.

Times Teaching.
ny CHARLES SWAIN.

Time to me this truth has taught,
CTis truth that's worth rcvcaling,)
More offend for want Of thought
Than from any want of feeling:
If advice we would convey,
There's time we should convoy it;
Ii we've but a word 20 say,
There's a time in which to say it.
OF unknowingly the tongue
Touches on a chord so aching,
That word or accent wrong
Pains the heart almost to breaking:
Many tear of wounded pride,
Many q fault of human blindness,
Has been soothed or turned aside
By quiet voice of kindness.
Many bcautcous flower decays,
Though We tend it Ger 80 much
Something secret on it prcys,
Which no human aid can touch:
So in many a lovely breast
Lies some cSnker- grief concealed,
That, if touched, is more oppressed;
Left unto itself, is healed.

Imaginary Evils.

Let tomorrow take care of tomorrow;
Leave things of the future to fate
What's the use to anticipate sorrow!
Lies troubles come never too late;
If to hope over much be an error,
'Tis ono that the wise have prefer'd
And how often have hearts been in terror
OF evils-thRt never occur'd!
Let tomorrow take care of tomorrow;
Short and dark as our life may appear,
We may make it still darker by SORROW
Still shorter by folly and fsar.
Half our troubles arc half our invention,
And often from blessings confer'd
Have we shrunk, in the wild apprehension
OF evils-that never occurr'dl

THE ANTI-SLAVERY BUGLE.

FAMILIAR with the English classics as those
OF Virginia. Indeed, we think he would
cohceue 10 the former the superiority in
scholarship. But their reading has not inn
pared their original genius or productive
incultles. 10 them are we indebted for
nearly all our literature that may be STYLED
American. In philosophy, law, history and
poetry, they have furnished productions of
permanent value and worldwide reputation.
why nave not the educated classes of Virgil
mia done the same?
mr thompson mentions one cause of this
literary dearth among them, which is en-
titled to more consideration. ain it.n he
says, VI recognise one of the greatest evils
that has ever afflicted the commonwealth
ihe morbid desire Of her sons for poiiticai dis
tlncf'on.IIhis unhappy influence, indeed,
has paralyzed everything like useful enter.
prise IN Vlrginia, for years past,sending ofrher
sons to other States for the political prefer-
ment which all cannot find at home. or
making them abiect pensioners upon the
bounty OF the Federal Government
There is truth in this, so far as il poes
but 1t does not go far enough. If Mr..
Thompson would disclose the real cause of
the ignorance of the masses in Virginia. of
the want of an efficient system of public
education, of the literary dcarth among lis
educated classes, let him lay his hand npon
that institution" which few of his co,ln-
trymen regard as peculiarly favorable to their
physical and intellectul greatness.
