OUR COUNTRY.

The subjects that engage human at
ention constitute quite numerous class.
rhcy are scattered over a wide field,
those boundaries are perpetually enlarg-
kg, and whose beauties are continually
(creasing. They are adapted to all
kstes, suited to all the orders of mind
ere the humble mechanic may tread
18th as free step and as high brow,
the digniied philosopher. Through
e lofty portals that open upon this field,
Ach one may enter and find a rich en-
rtainment.

istOry of our race occupies no inferior

IKE subdued animal, before his oppres-

ind deprived of those invaluable bless

At one time we see him crushed beneath

which has never, for moment, aban-

or A gentleman, wishing to be con-
sidered perfect phraseologist and gal
lant, had occasion to ask lady, one
evening to hand him the snuffers, and
thus addressed her:
" Will your ladyship, by an unmerited
and undeserved condescension of your
infinite goodness, please to extend to
your most obsequious devoted and very
humble servant, that pair of ignopot
exasperators, in order that the refulgent
brightness of that nocturnal luminary
may dazzle the vision of our ocular optics
more potently."

Something 10 Lore.-The human heart
has of course its pouting fits; it deter
mines to live alone to flee into desert pla-
ces to have no employment, that is, to
love nothing; but to keep on sullenly
beating, beating, beating until death lays
his little finger on the sulky thing, and
all is still. 1t goes away from the world
and straightway, shut from human COM
pany, it, falls in love with plant, a
stone--yea, it dandles cat or dog, and
calls the creature darling. Yes, it is the
beautiful necessity of our nature to love
something.

WRITTEN FOR THE PRAIRIE NEWS.
EDICATED TO MISS - OF ABERDEEN
/ come, dear Miss, with trembling pen,
Thy beauty to portray,
And call upon the muses. gods
To help Inc tune my lay.
For well know, without their aid,
i cannot justice do,
And give fair description of
A maid so fond and true,
kUpon whose brow bright nature seems
To twine her laurels fair,
And say by those bright shining eyes,
She left her beauties there.
Those ruby lips that seem to speak
Bright hopes of love sincere,
As they are moved by angels power,
Some weary heart to cheer.

Whether he stand beneath the sultry Of
Africa's whitening simeon, or dwell in the
voluptuous bowers of Asia's perennial
verdure whether he build his lowly hut
amid the SHOWS of an eternal winter, or
pass his days in the more genial rays of
the "sunny SOUTH" there is that spirit in
liberty which charms the soul and wins
the heart. Talk to man of liberty, and
his languid eye will brighten, and his
pulses beat with more rapidity talk to
the down-trodden slave of European vas
salage of by-gone liberty, and strength
will return to his fainting mind, and nerve
to his feeble arm. Beholding, in all their
richness and beautitude, the blessings
which liberty has conferred on us as a
people, may we not hope that America
will have imitators-that the voice of her
history will have an echo in other nations,
waking them from the slumbers of ages
and causing them to rise from the dust
and clothe themselves in the fair gar
ments of freedom. Till that is accom-
plished our triumph will be incomplete.
America acts for the world as well as for
herself.
Believing that great and excellent ends
are to be affected by the perpetuity of
our institutions, we cannot but feel deep
ly interested for their continuance. How
is this to be affected 4! What can shield
our nation from every injury, and guide
its footsteps to imperishable glory, when
the black clouds of political fanaticism
are lowering DER us darkly," and the
"black banner of dissolution" is unfurled
in our very midst! Morality and religion
must be our only hope. However pure
our political principles-however vast
our resources-however wise our legisla-
tors, if we do not cultivate these thing
we cannot stand. Let our citizens be-
come corrupted by infdelity-let them
disrespect God and Religion, and the sta
bility of our nation is gone. The light
of their glory will be extinguished, and
they will sink into the tomb of their for
mer shame, leaving nothing to perpetu-
ate their name, and repeat the story Of
their achievements. What did Wash
ngton, the man whose name is unsullied,
and whose memory is ever fresh in the
hearts of his countrymen "Of all the
dispositions that lead to political pros
perity, religion and morality are indis-
pensable supports" What says the BIZ
Bile, the highest of all authority! "Sin
is reproach to any peoples" and were
there no other reasons to practice moral
ity and religion, we should do so for the
sake of our country. He who opposes
them has no claims to character of a true
patriot. That is patrotism--noble, dig
nifed patriotism, which will impel its pos
SCISSOR to defend the intelligence and re-
ligion of his country. Give us this pa
triotism and, though the life boats and
waves swell mountain high, our noble
4" ship of state" will ride on unhurt, and
be safely moored in the harbor. t.
