A Health TO Old Virginia.

A health to Old Virginia,
God bless the proud old State,
Ste ,Ssmper may she stand through time,
The Tyrant's frowning Fate
Beneath Der sod the proudest names
OF Earth's past history sleep,
While from her soil the noblest types
Ofearth born heroes leap;
Leap, ready armed, to work her will
In freedoms righteous cause,
The guardians of Liberty,
Religion and the Laws.
Health to the cold Dominion
God guard her peerless might
Her statesmen in the cabinet
Her heroes in the fight
Her ministering angels. too
Those sunbeams thro' the storm
That cheer the wounded soldiers couch
In gentle w0man's form;
Their soft hands soOthe the aching brow
Their tears embalm our dead
tfOur Father - shed thy choicest gifts
In blessings on their head.
A health to Old Virginia,
She's bending to the strife,
Add struggling with a giants strength
For all that's dear to life
lncarnate Fiends, North, Ea st and West,
BY Death and He'll led on
Their burning fingers at her throat,
Would pull the old State down;
But God and Truth are her support,
Her never failing strength
And. foot upon the tyrant's neck,
She'll stand erect at length.
Then, health to Old Virginia,
God bless the brave old State
Sec ,Semper may she stand through time,
The Tyrant's frowning Fate.

"A Prophecy Realized

The following prophetic view Of he future
destiny of america is so remarkable as to
deserve reproduction at this time. It Is
from the Life, ETC., Of Colonel George
Hanger" written by himself London,
1901.
ILonion Morning Herald

took place one day at this table before a
large company, and an opinion which gave
relative to the future destiny ofthe Govern
ments of that country, and | am of opinion
that the state Of affairs there is rapidly has
tening dissolution of the United States.
At that time when peace had been conclu-
ded but few weeks, | was of that opinion,
aud rememberiwell, when General Dickson
asked me my opinion ofthe Government and
its stability | communicated my thoughts
nearly in the following words: Sir, as long
as General ashfngta and the other
principal military characters and leading
men in Congress, who have brought about
this revolution, are alive, the Government
will remain as it is = united but when all
OF you are in your graves there will be wars
and rumors of wars in this country-There
are too many different interests in it for them
to be united under one Government. Just
as this war commenced you were going to
fight among yourselves, and would have
fought had not the British interfered. You
then, one and all, united against US as your
common enemy; but one of these days the
Northern and Southern powers will fight as
vigorously against each other as they both
have united to do against the British
This country, when its population shall
be completed, is large enough for three great
empires. Look, gentlemen, at the map Of

No country can be said to have a boundary
or frontier unless its exterior limits are
marked by an unfordable river, or chain
of mountains not to be passed but in par
ticular places. The great finger of Nature
has distinctly pointed out three extensive
boundaries to your country: the North
River the first; the great Potomac, which
runs 300 miles from Alexandria to the sea,
unfordable, tbs second; and the Mississippi,
the third and last. When the country of
Kentucky is completely settled, and the
back country further on to the banks of the
Mississippi shall become populous and pow
erful, do you think they will ever be sub
jeoted to government seated at Philadel-
phia or New York. at the distance Of so
many hundred miles? But such detection
will not happen for very long period of
time, until the inhabitants of the country
become numerous and powerful. The North
ern and Southern powers will first divide,
and contend in arms. Vol ii, PIP 1850

"Passed Through" The following par

TO above the standard number, returns two

the host that went marching so gay at the

Chickahominy along the Peninsula to. the

bullets, steel and valour put them through.
There they lie on the valley Of dry bones

these hundred thousand skulls will take
