HOW COUNTRIFIED."

saw q manly farmer, a champion OF the soil,
With his neat, though homeIy garments, and look
Of honest toll.
With wealth Of heart, and wealth Of hand, brown
beauty in his face,
he stood within your city, and marked with
modest grace,
And many passed with stately step in broadcloth,
and in pride,
But murmured as they looked on him, "Oh, my,
how countrifed ~
saw an aged lady, a Deborah past her prime,
Who'd measured years Of usefulness, content to
Bide her time,
For seat within a stage coach, heard her ask
one day,
When one with face like Esau, tno brighter by
the way,)
From underneath cloud Of smoke, said, can't
she ride outside
I'm sure there is no room within, fOrone so coun-
trihed.
In learnirg's classic temple, with an open brow
and high,
Stood one Of natures gentlemen, bright genius in
his eye,
Yet bore his hands trace Of toll, his frame a
store Of health
Ofar more sterling worth my friends, than al
his classmates wealth;
And high up wisdom's mount he stood, il could
not be denied,
Yet in the distance some could see how ver1
countrfed!
I saw beauteous, well spread board, in farm
house kept with cares
And merry was that household band, for cit
friends were there;
While the generous soul felt welcome, each kind
ly lip expressed,
Inspired with easy confidence, each cared>fo
happy guest,
And while / listened earnestly to what eac
might conhde,
heard their numerous praises, butnever "eoun
tri6ed."
Not many months from this, saw the hostess
that farm,
At threshold other last years guest with satch
on her arm,
Straightway u little daughter, well instruct,
Appeared to tell the country friend that ina hi
gone away"
And with disappointed eountenance, the WON'T
turned aside,
Tho lady murmured in her room, "she looked
countriied."
Shake of your cankering ,fet,ers, 20 slaves
Fashions king,
Declare your independence, and truthful off
ings bring,
To deck the shrine Of Libertyi in virtue put yc
trust,
And honor merit everywhere, in damask or
dust,
We're children Of one family, it cannot be dem
For our father dwell in Eden, and he was con
trifed.

OUR PARENTS GRAVE.

INSCRIBED TO MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS.
Our father sleeps beneath the tomb,
Beside our mother dear,
While we remain on earth alone,
With none our path to cheer.
The silent wind sweeps DER the mound,
Where our dear parents sleep;
o then! a sweet relief is found
To turn aside and weep.
o father, dost thou sec us now,
In this cold world below 2
And does thy spirit gently bow
To cheer US Us we go2
And mother, is tina. gentle smile
Upon thy features;now;
That thou on us so kindly shed
While here with US below?

While we our course pursue,
Through this uEiriendly vale Of tears.
Till we can dwell with you.

In that bright world above,
lnwhich the angels viii us greet,
And dwell with us in love.

An Interesting Letter.
WEST NEWPORT,

w EST NEWPOhI, Culy IL
MR.. EDITOR-Dear Sir-I have lately been
IN1 making the tour of Vermont, but have
spent the past four months in the county Of Or
leans. l have been engaged the greater part of
the time in roaming over her rich lands, looking
upon her natural scenery, &c, and am forced to
say that for extent of resources for thrift, enter
prise, industry, and the general intelligence of
her people, the county of Orleans bears off the
palm.
1t has been my good fortune to pass some three
or four weeks in the village Of Coventry and
will say that / was perfectly delighted with the
place. Nestled in among the high old hills which
| tower above her on every side, with friendly
stream gently winding on its way to Lake Mem
phremagog, the place was one OF interest to me-
| But what noticed with more pleasure than any
thing else, was the manner in which her principal
men, Messrs. WALW0RTH & WEST do their
business. These gentlemen invited me to visit
| them and to walk over their store and to inspect
their large stock of goods, which politeness l at
once accepted. The building itself, must con-
| TESS, is not worthy the goods within. But sup
pose its proprietors are so driven with business
/ that they have no time to erect a new one. In
fact, was SO informed by the inhabitants of the
place.
They have the largest and best supply of goods
of any firm in the county, and as necessary
consequence they are enabled TO sell great dea
cheaper than any one else. They do not go upor
the foolish principle which too many adopt, o
getting all L0ey can IrSI
/ ming man alive" but are satisfied with ration
al, reasonable, and an honest profit. In short
their rule of action is to I" live and let live
They are in the constant receipt of goods from
Boston, and are therefore on hand with the lates
, styles all the time.
1 found upon inquiring the price of various ar
tcles in their store, that they sold them nearl!
f one fourth cheaper than any other establishment
have visited in this State. They sell cottol
; cloths two cents per yard cheaper than l hay
j ever bought them before. Their Ready Mad
: Clothing is so very cheap that town paupers ca
r afford to wear their best. Ihave good line
u coat upon my back which purchased at thei
e store for the low price of $1,75. In fact ma
can for the small sum of ten dollars get goo
fit out for the hot days of summer.
But have no time to say more at present, an
r should not have trespassed thus far upon you
:. patience, did not think the public ought TO b
l made acquainted with the facts, though l al
d well aware that have told no news to their Gus
= TONERS.
Yours truly,
u MICHAEL O'RAFFERTY.

~ MEMORY OF PLINY d. woKTnINGToN.
BY WINNIE wINFEED.
Softly rest the evening shadows
On little new-made grave;
Softly there the signing zephyrs
Ger the pearly dew drops wave.
When the noon>tide glow was waning,
Ere it tinged the moss-grown hill;
There, with snowy wreath we laid him,
There the angels guard him still.
Not the dark and silent waters
That could dim his sparkling eye;
Death yelled not those lovely features
Priceless jewels cannot die.
And those free and gladstone waters,
Slowly, sadly, family glide;
Ever chanting low and mournful,
Since om little Pliny died.
Far amid the swelling current,
Glowing visions charmed the sight,
And the happy, longing spirit,
Plumes its dowpy wings for fight.
Angels sweetly guide our treasure,
Pearly gates reflect ATARI
While the crystal portals opening.
Heaven receives the pilgrim star.
And there comes low, dreamy muse,
Breathing in the still, clear night;
Till we see that cherished image,
FLOATING in the mellow light.
Gentle Pliny memory fingers
Rouud the little dreamer here;
But our londest ties are passing
To that holier, happier sphere.

The Nicaragua steamship Decision

in Favor OfEanderbiit.
UNITED STATES DISTRICT CoURT-O.
HOFFMAN, J.-Cornelius Vanderbilt vs.
Steamers, Cortes, Pacific, Brother Jona-
than and Uncle Sam. ! his suit was
brought some time ago by libelant to get
the above Nicaragua Transit Company's
steamers from c. X. Garrison, who took
possession of them when the Walker
government of Nicaragua declared the
charter of the company null and void,
under lien which he obtained by loan
ing the company some $4,000 or $50,
600. Vanderbilt claims possession of the
vessels unier mortgage after the Com
pany had been dissolved by the Rivas
decree, and therefore it could not hold
good, rs there was in reality no compa-
ny in existence to give mortgage. On
the other hand, tn opposite counsel main
tain that the Rivas decree amounts to
nothing, for the reason that it did not
come from the legitimate government OF
Nicaragua, and that according to the
maritime laws the lien Of Garrison could
not hold good. as the money was advan-
ced while he was acting as agent for
the Transit Company. Judge Hoffman
rendered decision in favor of Vanderbilt
and ordered that the vessels be given
up to him unless the case is appealed
within ten days. Mrssrs. Crockett and
Page, counsel for Garrison, intend appeal
ing the case to the Circuit Court.
