Yes, take the Sword, and may it aid thee oft
To do a noble deed; as gallantly
Thou tread'st the battle field, where thousands ther
Are launching into vast eternity.
When round thine the laundering cannon roars
And BY thy side thy gallant comrades fall,
While thicky round thee shower the shot and shell
And that death-dealer, the dread cannon ball,
May it enable thee, who merits all
The paise We offer thee to carve thy name
Upon thy Country's altar, while her sons
Follow thy leading and rehearse thy famel
But thou hast left thy home and loved ones dear,
To march and fight thy country's battles still
They re hoping thou wilt soon return again
And hat lone chair, long vacant, thoult yet ALI:
W n into active this sword is brought
Mrget n5t those whom thou hast left at home.
With them beside thee-pctured in thy heart
Thou'lt boldly bid the approaching hour come
When on the field thou'lt hear the cannon roar
And Death is thine, or thine the Victory
May God be with thee, save thee whilst thou art
Battling for UNION and for LIBERTY
Forget not, too, that whilst thou art so brave,
So gallant, fighting for the glorious cause,
That thou hast brothers-brave and gallant too
On Southern sol-upholding rebel laws,
And battling in the rebel army, where
Only privations and much suffering move
Them to surrender unto thee their Forts
And leave at last the Cities which they love.
And now perchance, ainst them this sword is raised
While all confused amid the battles heat
Aud thou glance down and some beloved one sec
Weltering in his own life-blood at thy feet
May God go with thee! Heavens own blessings pour
Their wreaths Of sunshine round the patriots head
And bring thee back in safety to thy home
And let thee ne'er be one among the dead
That crowd the battle plain May this bright blade
Ever hereafter be valued friend,
When Death inevitable, and Time
And earthly things seem drawing to an end;
Raise it with pride, and WELD it, too, with power,
For UNION, and for glorious LIBERTY
Faii not to raise it in the trying hour;
patriot be, and thine the victory!

Mr. EDIroR, thero is dfereat way to solve this
great and important question. will admit that
that it i owing to the money matters in 'rart:
but when we view the whole matter, and look at
the question onsthe other eide, We see various
other reasons why the planters haze, or ask such
high prices for their sreyisisrs. If they Wish to

without iron to make his plow= witbS or save his
meat without salt? How can he do without these

of any thing is enhanced by the expenditures con-

Now ask any candid person if there is aRy
difference between the planter with his price of

I harc noticed that ever since the commence
