For all that's good and spiritual,

Andeyes have ceased to weep.
The flowers In spring may freshsn,
And the winning birds may sing.

About the heart will ring;

Yesterday afternoon this precious

rebellion, and when the jailor, Mr..
Samuel Davis, requested them to re-
turn to their cells after dinner, they
displayed brick bats taken from the
walls, and ono fellow, boldcr than the

said thoy had just concluded not to
