cents per pound. Further purchases are
declined at this rate. The prospect is not
favorable for an early opening of the mar

Bl CHARLES A. JONES.

Where are the hardy yeomen
Who battled fer the land,
And tiodc these hoar old forests,
A brave and gallant band.
oh. know ye where they slumbcr
No monument appears,
For freedoms pilgrims 20 draw nigh,
And hallow with their tears,
Or were no works cor glory
Done in the oiden time,
And has the west no story
Of dcathless deeds sublimeS
Go ask yon shining river,
And ii will tell tale
OF noble d. eds Of daring,
Win make thy cheek grow pale;
Go ask the smiling valley,
Whose haryests bloom so fair,
Twill tell thee sad story
Of the brave who slumber there:
Go to yon mountain, rearing
Its forest crest on high
Each tree upon its summit
Has secn warrior die.
They knew no dread of danger,
When rose the Indians yell;
Right gallantly they struggled,
Right gallantly they fell;
From Alleghany's summit,
TO the farthcst distant shore,
These brave mems bones are lying
Where they pcrshcd in their gore
And not single monument
Is seen in all the land,
In honor Of the memory
Of that heroic band.
! Their bones were left to whiten
! The spot where they were slain;
And were yc now to seek them,
They would be sought in vain.
The mountain cat has ieasted
Upon them AS they lay;
Long, long ago they mingled,
Again with other clay
Their very names are dying,
Unconsccratc by fame,
In oblivion they slumbcr,
Our glory and our shame.
