In another article published ieW days

nected with the overflow Of the Mississippi
River. There is no doubt that the rise oi
the water within the swamps TO a level above

can be prevented BY the adoption pr the pIar

sented to the Arkansas Legislature. But

THE MOCKING BIRD.

BY JUDGE A. b. MEEK.
From the vale, what music ringing
Fills the bosom Of the night;
On the sense, entranced, fiinging
Spells Of witcheiy and delight!
Der magnolia, lime and cedar,
From yon locust top il swells,
Like the chant Of serenader,
Or the rhyme of silver bells
Listen, dearest, listen to it 4!
Sweeter sounds were never heard;
'ris the song Of that wild poet
Mimic Misunderstanding Bird.
See him, swinging in his glory.
On yon topmost bending limb,
Csroling his smorous story.
Like some wild crusaders hymn y
Now it faints in tones delicious
As the first low vows Of love;
Now il breaks in sweIls capricious,
All the moonlight vale above.
Listen, dearest, &c.
Why is I thus, this sylvan Petrsreh
Pours all night his screnadeI
'T'is for some proud woodland Laura,
His sad sonneis all are made;
But he changes nov his measure .~
Gladness babbling from his mouth
jest, and jibe, and mimic pleasure
Wing'd Anacreon OF the South!
