HUMILITY.
BY MONTGOMERY.

The bird that sings on highest wing,
Builds on the ground her lowly nest
And she that doth most swoetly sing,
Sings in the shade vii all things rosi,
IN latk and Nightingale we SEQ
What honor haih humility.
Tho saint tina. wears heavens brightest crown
In deepest Alteration bends,
The weights Of glory bend him down
The most when high bis soul ascends.
Nearest the thrunc itself must be
Tae footstool Of humility.

To The wings of The Union.
The undersigned have been directed, by
the Wing City Convention of Baltimore to
solicit the attendance of their fellow Wings
from all parts of the Union, at meeting of
the National Convention, on tho 10th June
The invitation which they are instructed
to extend, il on behalf not only of those whom
they Immediately represent, but Of the body
Of the Wings of Maryland. On memorable
occasions heretofore. our fellow Wings have
honored us by assembling here in council -
We are not aware that any have had cause
toll tax us with the lack Of cordial welcome.
If kindly intercourse, and the interchange
Of opinions and good Offices have contribu-
ted, on former occasions, to strengthen the
bonds of good .fellowship-such consequent
ces, more than ever, must follow from them
now The thought that the Union has been
in danger must make the feeling Of brother
hood more warm, when brethren Of all sections,
in the name of the Union, are met to consult
for its continued preservation.
Let our fellow Wigs then, from all quar-
tiers, bring themselves among US. Let their
delegations be numerous, enthusiastic and
confident. The inspiration of their presence
will give the vigor Of triumph 70 the first
blow of the fight.
