Rev. Or. lScFerrIn's Confederate
Primer.
JoHN BUGH SMITH


Nothing is more worthy of being per-
petuated than valuable contributions 20
literature. The literature of a nation is
its crown of glory, whose reflected light
shines far down the swift-rolling waves
of Time, and gladdens the eyes of re-
mote generations. This beautiful and
Ito our notion finely expressed senti-
ment was suggested to our minds in
turning over the pages of Reverend DR..
McFERRIN's Confederate Primer, which
we briefly noticed yesterday. We feel
that we then passed too hastily over a
work 50 grand in its conception, so be-
nevolent in its purpose, and so brilliant
in its execution, and we therefore recur
to it again, and will now proceed to re-
gale our readers with some of the
choicest boquets culled from this green
est field among all the fiowery pastures
Of Minerva. The Primer, after giving
the alphabet in due form, offers some
little rhymes for youngsters, which are
perfect nosegays of sentiment, of which
the following will serve as samples of
DR.. MCFERRTN's poetical genius
