" THE PHILADELPHIA News, OF We'd
nesday last comes down on Gen. Packer
on account Of some reflections cast upon
Philadelphia, BY him in his speech at thu
recent Railroad Celebration, at this place.
The News admits the force Of some of the
Generals remarks, but looks upon him as
untriendly to the city, and therefore not the
proper person to lecture them. General
Packer, we are confident, has no uniriend-
ly feelings for Philadelphia, although he
may occasionally complain of her supine-
ness.

The Old Log Hut
By R. SINCLAIR, ESQ.
Down by the river our log hut stand,
Where father and mother once dwelt,
And the old door latch that was Worn by our hands,
And the church wherein we knelt.
Years, years have passed since that happy time,
But the river keeps rolling along,
And the ripping sound on the messy bank
Is singing the same old song.
Row, row, row your boat,
Gently down the stream,
And all that's past, is gone you know,
The futures but a dream.
There stands the tree we used to climb,
And the mill with its rolling din,
And the old wharf boat, there it used to float,
Where the school boys used to swim.
High grass grows on the masters grave,
And the river keeps rolling along,
And the birds and the bees, the blossoms, the trees,
Are singing the same old song.
Row, row., row the boat,
Gently down the stream,
All that's past, is gone you know,
The futures but a dream.
