L Hundred Years Ago.

Where is ..i.. race that used to be,
And sound their merry jubilee,
And bend the forest Low
Or peal tie 81 AZ whoop, sounding tone,
That CO.. Sev Enqlauds hills was known,
A hundred years ago
Where is lhc Young and graceful fawn,
That bent It's noiselcss slcp al dawn,
Within lhe valleys low;
Or stooJ upon the blooming hills,
To gaze upon the sparkling rills,
A hundred years ago
| Where is the bright birch-bark canoe,
That hoaicd DER the waters blue,
That silent used to flow;
But rualcd with The red mans oar,
When slmmng near the mossy shore,
a huudred years agol
Where are those giant forests found,
That once did cluster all around,
Where now the farmers SOW;
Where rang the hunters merry glcc,
Beneath the richly tasselled tree,
! a hundred years agoi
Where are those spirits bold and free,
That waited ocr the stormy sea
Where Fortunes winds did blow,
| And settled on this smiling shore
a Colony, in days of yorc
a hundred years ago
Where are the hearts that used to beat
For Freedoms cause, TO them SO sweet
That blood they did bcsiow;
And reared her altar and her fires,
To proudly mark the Pilgrim sircs
~ hundred years ago?
Where is the maid with rosy check,
That used of happiness to speak
Within its lervent glow,
Who lighted up her forest homo,
With but her sweet and gentle tone,
a hundred years ago
Where arc those roguish acting hoys,
That were the smiling n.oidcns toys
In days of old, we know,
That dlshcd around in LONG tailed blues,
Or whirled about in "high heclcd shoes
a hundred years ago
And where are those gray headed men,
Whose youthful sports were ended then,
Whose sands wcae mooving slow,
That used to laugh to see the boys,
When dashing in their. youthful joys,

A CUhGDUs PASSAGE IN AMERICAN HIS

gaged upon his boot-his thirty years Oh.
servalion as Senator. 1t is reported,
that he has taken up his residence Mt
Washington city for the fall aud winter,
looking forward now. for he has nothing
else to hope tor, 10 the mischief which lie
may do, in the coming Presidential con
test. judge Woodbury's death leaves him
free to 90 over to Gen Houston, and i, is
said that he will push his pretenslons with
all his influence. But to the Book.
Col. Benton will mate some strange dis
closures, and le can if he will, damn good

next Presidential election. it will create
