THETIS.

Achilles with his wounded pride,
Left the Greek tents. and by the sea
Sat down; and told his misery
To Thetis, underneath the tide.
His brave soul surged with wrathful grief.
ReSentful of his bitter wrong
And rose defiantly and strong
Against the mandates of his Chief.
The broad waves crowded 10 the sand,
SnOw-white. and green. and amethyst.
And Thetis. like a silver mist,
Came up and soothed him with her hand.
oh when by many wrongs oppressed,
My heart rebels against its fate
And shadows with a weary weight
Rob every thought of light and rest

In shape of singing bird or bee,

Southern VS.. Northern Coal.

BELL. Their article is, therefore, Southern,
and they are Southern men. They have bad
opportunities to advance the price of coal,
and thus make speculation. bat they dtclin-
ed to do so, believing that their fellow-cili-
z-ns would appreciate their motives and sus-
tain their enterprise
But, within the past week they have had
to encounter competition in Pittsburg coal,
northern article, and some of our people
seem disposed to give it preference. Now,
the question is shall the enterprise of Messrs.
HUGHES & Co be sustained, or shall it be
broken up, and the market thrown into the
hands of Spectators in Pennsylvania Goa
Will our citizens see company, which has
