BY GEORGE =. NORRIS.

Why dost thou come at set OF sun,
Those pensive W ,rds TO say,
Why whip poor Will What has he done
And who is Will. pray!
Why come from yon lcaf-shadci hill.
A suppliant at my door,
Why ask of me to whip poor Will
And is Will really poor
If pOvcrtys his crime, let mrih
From out his heart be driven:
That is the deadlicst sin on earth.
And never is forgiven.
Art Will himself 1T must be So
learn it from thy moan,
For none can feel another's woe
As deeply as his own.
Yet wherefore strain thy tiny throat
While other birds repose!
What meal thy melancholy note,
The mystery disclose,
Still .whip-poor-Will!" ART thou sprite,
From unknown regions sent,
To wander in the gloom of night,
And ask for punishment
Is there conscience sore beset
With guiit-or what is worse
Hast thou to meet writs, duns and debts;
N" money in thy purse
If this be thy hard IA to indeed,
All well mayst thou repine:
The sympathy give need
The poets doom is thine
Art thou a lover, Will Hast proved
Tho fairest can deceive!
Thine is the lot Of all who'vc loved
Since Adam welded Eve.
Hast trusted in friend, aud seen
No friend was he in need
A common errcr-men still lean
Upon as frail reed
Hast thou in seeking wealth or famo
A crown of brambles won!
Ger all the earth It's just the same
With every mothers son!
Hast found the worll Babel wide
Where man to maInmon stOOps.
Where flourish arrogance and pride,
While modest merit DROPS!
What, lone Of these! Then whence thy pain
To guess il who the skill?
Pray have the kindness to explain
Why should whip poor Will2
Dost merely ask thy just deacrt!

profession in Pulaski, and for five years past in
Memphis. He offers, therefore, the fruits Of e1pe.
rience, as well study, in this work. His princi

cally arranged and rendered easy Of comprehension
by simple and appropriate exercise )" and it has
also been his aim 10 afford older pupils such aid
that, with proper application on their part, they
may obtain knowledge of English Grammar with
out further assistance" In these respects, lar
as we are able to Judge from a necessarily superb
