L SONG STARS AND STRIPES.,,

The flag of our country! how proudly it waves
Ger the Patriots land er their green messy graves,
Our country our country long may it abde
Our hope and our glory our boast and our pride.
The stars and he stripes of patriot band
Still float the breeze Ger glorious land
Our country, countfy the home of the brave
Unfurled be thy fag-long, long may it wave.
From the crystal gates of the frozen North
The stars of our country are cleaning forth,
Unfurled by the daring and noble Kane
They sparkle and glance FER the icy PLAN.
The flag of our country fs floating on high,
Ger the orange groves, meath sunny sky
The song birds home with it's fairy like bowers,
In wealth of melody, of fragrance and flowers.
Our Flag It is waving Ger treasures untold,
Where streanlets gliding DER sands of gold;
Where the deep ravine and mountain side
Betoken rich treasures that IN them hide.
Der the darksome forest and bright sunny vale =
Thesfiag of our country still floats on the gale;
Thestars and thestripes! may they wave-ever wave
O. er the Patriots land, the home of the brave.
CHORUS.
The American Flag how proudly it waves
Ger the Patriots land DER their green mossy graves,
Still floating in triumph wherever it goes
The stars for it's heroes, the stripes for its foes.

they should De hibited by both civil and eccle-
law mister who would preach long

eregation or a colnp consider the truly
e1oquent brev of Ghrist's sermon on the mount.
(. TimegR when aching, in many sections
of our count was oncesin two or four weeks,
and them long sermons were tolerated. Now,
is within the reach ofsmost persons ev-
cry. .Sabbath and even twice in the same day. To
sit now , and be bored for an hour and half by
any man, lin the delivery of a single sermon, is
preposterous, but to be thus bored by man of
ordinary talents lis enough to disgust good men,
and force sinners to swear! When sermon
reaches beyond 45 or960 minutes we regard the
audience as justifables in rising up and leaving
the house, thereby expressing their opposition to
the length of the sermon in style terse and
epigrammatic as not To- be misunderstood.
With us, asserin0n has passed the Rubicon,
when it exceeds forty minutes, unless the preacher

remarkable force and beauty of language-pre=
senting his theme with an eloquence that charms
with that critical that fascinates, and that
richness of dicTlon that captiyates an audience
But our :. one horse preachers can't do this, and
they are in most Instances, the men who preach
these long dognlatcal, not to- say preposterous

MUTE MARRIAGE sERvIcE.-The New York
Express gives the following description of mute
marriage service:
-. 1t is seldom we haveswitnessed SO beautiful
ceremony as the Smarrag of Miss Ellen E.,
I of BostOI,zte Mr. Iiist of Philadelphia son of
the well-known negotiation of the Treaty of Guada-
IIupe-Hidalg which took place on Tuesday
morning In the pretty parishehurch at New Bright
ION, StateM Island. The bridal couple were both
mutes--deaf and dumb from infancy. No sweet
sound had ever enchanted the eternal silence Of
their snl5id But the intelligence and esprit which
flashed from the dark eyes of the lovely bride,
proved that theSintellect was as bright within
amor her more favored sisters
-. We all know the exquisite beauty of the mar
rage service of the Episcopal Church, but
graces and force were lent it by the symbolic
rendering of the Rev. Mr. Gallaudet who with
Rev. Pierre Irving performed the ceremony. The
Rev. Mr. Irving very slowly and emphaticaly
read the service, which Mr.. Gaaudet translated
by signs with wonderful fidelity and rapidity
the bride and groom repeating these signs as they
| were indicated by their clergyman. Several times
the sign-language fingered after the word-lan-
guage had, ceased, and than the silence which
Ereigned theechurch and the breathless interest
which enehained every spectator almost pain

and who can describe the mute eloquence of that

tle kneeling pair, there was that which spoke

EIhe Military Convention met in the Ceurt

Gen. avery, of Burkes to preside over their de-

appointing a committee to prepare business, they
adjourned to meet Thursday morningsat 10
O'clock A4
At the appointed hour, the Convention met and
was called to order by Gen. Avery. RESOLUTIONS

Cook, Jones, Hall, Brice, GARNER, Darbysane

of North Carolina, and afford relief and encourage

Each member of the Committee requested

HOG CHoLER A.-The Norfolk correspondent of
the Petersburg Express says that the hog chol-
era is prevailing in Gates and adjoining counties
in North Carolina. He was infermed by aI farmer
from Gates few days ago that he had lost $50
head from that or some other fatal disease, and
that neighbor had lost as many, and thattbey
were still dying in every section of the country.

- STATE FAIR.-When we stated in Saturdays
issue that it was almost the unanimoustopinio
that the State Fair is one grand humbug," we did
SO on the opinion of number of gentlemen who
had attended it, and still Of opinion that it was
not SO good as they had been led to suppose it
would be-. Since that publication was made, we
have conversed with others who, having attended
the State Ears that has been held in North
lima, are of opinion that the exhibition tis year
is as good if not better, than any previously held.
That leaves the thing about as broad as it is
long" and We therefore furdraso all we said, with
the assertion that fairs, in aajority Of eases,
humbugs, and that those who attend them gene
rally return disappointed.
The papers by Saturday evenings mail brought
news in relation to the doings in Raleigh, and
passengers, of whom there large number by
the last train relate no incidents that would in
terest readers. except that the exhibition had
closed and the crowd was fast leaving the city.
