of their leaders. They should remember that
the President still has the undated confidence
of the south, and that their attacks upon him
will only serve to ALLEVIATE from them and their
cause the sympathy of the southern democracy,
which they now have. We caution Dickinson,
O'Conor, and Bronson to be on their guard.
All, we hope, will yet come right.

Lines ON "a Keg of Brandy.


Within these prison walls repose
The chat;ering tongue, the horrid oath;
The fit for fighting nothing 10th;
The passion quick no words can tame,
That bursts like sulphur into fame;
The nose with rub!es glowing red,
The bloated eye, the broken head!
Forever fastened be this door!
Confined within. thousand more
Destructive fiends of human shape,
Even now ure plotting an escape.
Here only by a cork restrained,
In slender walls of wood contained,
In all their dirt of death reside
Revenge that ne'er was satisfied;
The tree that hears the dead fruit
Ofmurder manning and dispute;
Assault that innocense assails,
The images of glnomy jails;
The giddy thought on mischief bent,
The midnight hour ii folly spent;
All these within this cask appear,
And Jack the hangman in the rear.

Farewell to Ohio.

Farewell, Ohio's grassy hills
Tiny fertile Wales and sparkling rilIs!
Farewell thy fields of waving corni
Thy meadows wet with dews ofmorn!
Each CLASSY lake each stadea dell
Thy beauteous landscape. all FAREWELL
love thy forests grand and old;
love thy harvests tinged with gold;
love thy cities busy marts;
love thy peoples genial hearts;
I love thy laws, which based on Right
Defy the powers of dark browed Might.
Ye childhood scenes! ah, doubIy near!
Are all your recolIections, deafl
Those linle loves and hopes and fears,
That thrilled the heart in boy-hond years
Each haiIow'd memory brings a sigh,
And makes it hard to say-"Gcod bye!"
$ How oft visit ye 10 dreams,
Aud wander by familiar streams,
And brush the dew from off the srasB
With bounding fact as on PASS.
How oft think me back once more,
Aud thinking, tread those meadows Ger!
Tho months fly swiftly, quickly past.
Aud wipe fond memories out so fast.
Yet ehiId-bood scenes are writ too deep,
To let my thoughts quiescent sleep;
Nor flying months nor passing years
Can chase away those smiles and tears.
All! bard indeed it is TO part
With those once mirrored on the heart!
IT'S bard to leave familiar places
Fer stranger lands AID stranger faces;
To feel that every hoIr that flies,
Msy weakea dear and friendly ties.
Yet, fond hearts greet one here, rs there,
For losisg souls it,rob everywhere;
Each new associise brings
A train of Angels on its wiags-
Still, thousand ties, tho twice as dear,
Can never bind me always here.

There Must be Something wrong.

When earth produces, free and fair
The golden waving corn;
When fragrant fruits perfume the air,
And feecy 1pcks are shorne.
While thousands mOve with aching head,
And sing the careless song
We starve, we die, o, give US bread!o
There must be something wrong.
When wealth is wrought, as seasons roll,
From off the fruitful soil;
When luxury from pole to pole
Reaps fruit from human toll;
When from athousand, one alone
ln plenty rolls along.
The others only gEaw the bone,
There must be something wong.
And when production never ends.
The earth is yielding ever;
copious havest oft begins,
But distributiou-Dever!
When toling millions work to fill
The wealthy Golfers strong;
When hands are crushed that work and till,
There must be something wrong.
When poor mems tables waste away
To barrenness and drought,
There must be something IN the way,
That's worth the finding out;
With suifeit one great table bends,
While numbers move along;
While scarce crust their board extends,
There must be something wrong.
Then let the law give equal right
To wealthy and to poor;
Let freedom crush the arm Of might,
We ask for nothing morei
Until this system is begun,
The burden of our song
Must. aud can, be only one
There must be something wrong.
