e TO THE PU BLIC.
Hail /! honored ages of grand progression,
While each one clings to his profession,
And science moves with onward motion,
To suit each hayward thought and notion,
Bringing to light, some new invention,
More strange than modern wit can mention,
Or genius paint with true endeavor,
Though making graphic strides forever,
While reason urges proud ambition,
To strive for wondrous competition;
Yet in this age of glorious Art,
We can the need Of praise impart,
When meritorious efforts claim
A modest puff to gild the name,
And thus we call with honest pride,
Attention to the Painters Side,
Two men who bravely know their calling,
Whose works are worthy of extolling,
Two model artists of the day,
And most obliging in their way,
Moreland & Jakeman-mark the name,
In Roanoke street you'll find the same,
Call at their shop number one,
You'll get the best of Painting done,
And whether Foe, Friend, or neighbor,
THEY'LL charge but moderate for their labor,
So now invite each one and all,
So walk around, and give them call.

The Rev. DR.. PATTON, of our city, has
way Of his own is saying smart things,
pairing neither friends nor foes, and
sometimes hitting hard enough to leave
broad mark
Some years since, when he was in Eng
land, he rode on the mail-coach from
Oxford up to London. His fellow-trav-
elers were Fellow up to University land
the Rev. DR.. Shepherd, Of Blackheath,
and one more, stranger. The Fellow
soon perceived from DR.. P.'s conversa-
ton with Dr. S. that the former was from
America, and then entered upon course
Of inquiry, on this wise:
FELLOW. Gas | have never met with
so intelligent an American BEFORE should
be happy to ask you few questions
about your country"
DIR. z, In my country | pass for
only about third or fourth-rate man !;
but | shall be most happy to answer
your inquiries to the best Of my abili-
ties"
The Fellow then made extended que
ries relative to climate, rivers, canals,
commerce, manufactures, etc., which
were answered to his satisfaction and
then he added, ''There is one question
more which l should like to ask, but l
fear it may not fall in with your own
predictions.
DIR. P. "Out with it, Sir; it will harm
no one, presume"
FELLOW. "The inquiry lis this: Do
you think your present form of govern
ment will stand, or that your people will
not soon require King F?
DR.. P. "Well, Sir, that is indeed
question that does not fall in with my
predictions. for l am thorough Re
publican. Still, have no objections to
answer your question frankly. 1t is my
opinion, to which l have come after much
reflection, that we shall eventually have
King"
FELLOW. 81 am sure ofit-I am sure
of it! but l never yet have seen an
American who was willing to admit it
Will you favor me with the reasons on
which you found your opinion, for | have
no doubt they are good ones?"
DR.. P. 81 think they are good ones,
and l will frankly state them to you.-
They are these: | read in the Bible that
when Israel was virtuous people. God
governed them generally with judges of
their own choosing but when they be-
came corrupt and degraded people, God
IN aorah gaze them King? AS we are
rapidly importing EuroDean manners and
corrupt customs into d Ess nited States, |
greatly fear that we shall degenerate I'M
til God will treat us as he has the degra-
ded nations of Europe, and give us a
King!
The Fellow grew suddenly red in the
face, and would have made fight, but the
laugh of his neighbors was so hearty that
he had to join in it, and soon he manag-
ed to say, "Well, you have taught me
one lesson to-day that | shall never for
get"
DIR. P. "And, pray, what may that be?
for it is very rare an Englishman will adj
init that he learns any thing from an
American"
FELLOW. 81 have learned to let the
Yankees alone, and not to NEEDLE with
their peculiar matters"
DIR. P. "Thank you, Sir. But allow
me to say that you are rather slow schol-
ars, for we certainly taught you that les
son at Bunker HILL"
FELLOW. II see that you are incorrl-
gible."
DR.. P. "And that's the way of our
people"
On another visit to England DIR. 7.
was invited to meet number of clerical
gentleman at dinner at the house of g
wealthy laymam in London. Some
