masses Of luxurisnt foliage, through whose
openings could be seen gIimpses Of the
serene blue SKY, shadowed their way, and
moss and flowers formed soft carpet for
their feet.
Bernice was a proud, naughty unlovable
girl, and had dislike for her books and

Written under the Flag Of the Capitol.
BY AN AMERICAN CATHOLIC PRIEST.
They say do not love thee,
Flag of my native land;
Whose meteor-folds above me,
To the free breeze expand;
Thy broad stripes proudly streaming,
And the stars SO brightly cleaning.
They say would forsake thee,
Should some dark crisis lower;
That, recreant, should make thee
Crouch to foreign Power;
Seduced by license ample
On thee, blest flag, to trampIe.
They say that bolts of thunder,
Cast in the forge of Rome,
May rise and bring thee under,
Flag of my native home,
And with one blow dsever
My heart from thee forever.
False are the words they utter;
Ungenerous their brand;
And rash the oaths they mutter,
Flag Of my native land;
While still, in hope, above me
Thou wavest-and love thee!
Gods is my loves first duty,
To whose eternal name
Be praise, for all thy beauty,
Thy grandeur, and thy fame;
But ever have | reckoned
Thine, native flag, my second.
Woe to the foe or stranger,
Whose sacrilegeous hand
Would touch thee, or endanger,
Flag of my native land;
Though some would fain discard me,
Mine should be. raised to guard thee!
Then wave, thou first of banners,
And in thy genial shade
Let Crecds. opfnfonS, ruanners. s.--
Promiscuously be laid;
And there, all discord ended,
Our hearts and souls be blended.
Stream on, stream on before us,
Thou laborum of light,
While in one general chorus.
Our vows to thee we plight;
Unfaithful to thee ?-never;
My native flag forever! &C. p.

EXTRAORDINARY NEws.-The President of the
United States recently, in his speech at Stanton,
Va, asserted that Thomas jefferson acted pro-
minent part in the formation Of the Federal Con-
sttution. This is news, no doubt, to his Virginia
friends, to the intelligent portion at least. If Mr.
jefferson was 30 prominent an actor how is it that
Judge Tucker has overlooked 80 important fact |?
Judge Tucker tells US that Mr.. Jefferson went
Minister to France in 1854, and did not return
until after the adoption Of the Federal Constitution.
He also gives extracts from his correspondence
with Madison and others, showing an indisposition
towards many Of its provisions and as evidence Of
that fact we viii here insert one which may be
found on page 255, vol. l.
g As to the nep Consultation, I find myself
nearly neutral. There is great mass Of good
in it, in very desirable form; but there is also
to me a bitter pill or tOo."
The above are Mr.. Jefersons opinions. The
fact is, that he was opposed to the Federal Con.
stitution; and his correspondence establishes it.
Yet on finding it approved by the patriotism of the
country, with facility truly democratic, he be-
came its supporter; and denounced those who had
been most instrumental in its formation.
General Pierce, no doubt presumed upon the
ignorance Of his friends Of Virginia.
