And touch st me queerly
Unlike the touch that youthful crime
Provoked severely.
It was dark and fearful day
When thou held'st sovereign rule and swa
And all humanity might say

The doom that brought thee into play,
And wrought us hurt!
All Solomon that dogma wild

Has long thy reputation soile1,
And few defend i'll
Our teachers draw it far more mild,
And strive TO mend 1t.
Oh, bitter were the blows and whacks
That fell on our delinquent backs,
When. varying from moral tracks,
In youthful errer.

With dircst terror.

And twenty devils rampant broke
For one subdued.

many of them stood the storms OF two cen.

shamefully mutilated have been the favor

in every land. 1t was for years to Virgin
ia what Annapolis was to Maryland, the
center of wealth and fashion, the home Of
the first families. In this respect its glory
as in many others, has departed. Hog aud
hominy is The diet of hose OF its citizens
who remain, and the surrounding country
once the garden of Virginia, is as desolale
as though swept by whirlwind. Verify
the reward of treason aud treachery, of dis
loyalty, to the freest and best Government
the world ever saw, is swift aud terrible.
