Thou hast a dearer spell to me-

And green with verdure be!
Yet not for thy proud ocean streams
Not for thine azure DOME
Sweet Sunny Soulful cling to thee
Thou art my native home!
I've stood beneath Italia's cline,
Beloved of tale and song
On Helyyn's hills proud and sublime,
Where natures wonders throng,-
BY Temples classic, sun-lit streams
Where gods, of old, did roam,
But ne'er have found so fair a land,
AS thou-my native homeI
And thou hast prouder glories too,
Than nature ever gave
Peace sheds Ger thee her genial dew,
And freedoms pinions wave,-
Fair science filings her pearls around,
Religion lifts her dome:-
These endear thee to my heart
My own loved native homel
And heavens best gift to man" is thine
God bless thy rosy girls ~
Like sylvan flowers they sweetly shine;
Their hearts are pure as pearls
And grace and goodness circle them,
Where'er their footsteps roam,
How can / then, whilst loving them,
Not love my native home?

To save his native home!

HE HIS COME.

The proprietor of this paper has noticed with
surprise an article under the above head in the
0rleanian of yesterday, which is not less re-
markable for its ill-natured tone than for its
utter stupidity. To denounce the language Of
it would be unnecessary, as in its extreme vul-
garity and inaccuracy it is below criticism
The editor says that there was a mistake in
our article in Mondays paper concerning the
petition presented to the Board of Assistant Al
dermen against the location of election polls in
conee-houses-that petition having been pre-
seh'ea after the places for holding the polls had
peeh hAed upon Even that excuse will not avail
'he Assistant Aldermen, as the number of ipt3u.
entail names attached to the petition entitled il
70, az least, respectful consideration
We would state in this connection a.. A.,
President Of the Board did not put the 49,
to refer the petition to the House of RaSOsN On
as has been generally understood, but Tho. =.
pronounced it out of order. A'
