WEARING of the Green.

The following is the celebrated song
shicb created such intense excitement
throughout Great Britain, and for the
Incorporation Of which in his piece, Mr.
Bouc1cAuLr's play OF I" Arrah Ia Pogue
mad to be withdrawn from the London
stage:
CHI Paddy. dear. and didn'tye hear
The news that's going round,
The Shamrock is forbid by law to
Grow on Irish ground.
Ne more St. Patrick's day well keep,
The color can't be seen,
FOR there's a bloody law against the
Wearing of the green.
Imet with Nappy Tender, and he took
Me by the hand.
And he said, '.How's poor ould Ireland,
And how does she standl"
She's the most distressfal country that
Ever you have seen.
They're hanging men and women there for
Wearing ofthe green"
Then, since the color we must wears
England's cruel red,
Sure Ireland's sons will meier forget the
Blood that they have shed.
You may take the Shamrock from your hal
And cast II on tho sod,
1t will take root and flourish there,
Though under foot foot it's trod
When the law can keep the blades of gr,ss
From growing as they grow,
And when the leaves in summer time
Their verdure dare not show,
Then will change the color
Iwear in my caubeen;
But till that day, please GOD, III stick
To wearing Of the green!
But fiat last the color should
Be torn from Ireland's heart,
Her sons with shame and sorrow from
The dear old soil will part.
I've heard whispers of country
That lies beyond the sea,
Where rich and poor stand equal in
The light of freedoms day.
Oh! Erin must we leave you, driven
BY the tyrants Land!
Must we ask mothers welcome from
strange but happier land
Where the cruel cross Of England's
Thralldom never shall be seen,
And where, thank God we'll live and die
Still wearing Of the green!

English VS. AMERICAN GIRL The
English girl spends more than one half Of
her walking hours in physical amusement,
which tends to develop and iuvigorale
and ripen the bodily powers. She rides,
walks. drives, rows upon the water, runs,
dances, plays. sings, jumps the rope,
throws the bali, hurts the QUOT, draws he
bow, keeps up the shuttlecock-and all
this withou, having it pressed forever on
her mind that she is thereby wasting her
time. She does this every day until it be-
COMES habit, which she will follow
through life. Her frame, as a natural
consequence, is larger, her muscular sys
TEN better developed. her nervous system
10 better subordination, her strength more
enduring, and the whole tone Of her mind

"We have been permitted to read private
letter written by Ex-Governor Letcher, now
at his home in Lexington, to friend in this
city. The Governor had an inseryiew with
President Johnson, with which he was much
pleased, the tendency of which was to con-
vince him that We have only to recognize the
existing state of affairs, and regard slavery as
dead, and sustain the Government, and the
President will do all for the South that we
could expect. He is not vindictive toward
us, as some have supposed, and will, if sus-
tanned, resist to the last, the radical pressure
that may be brought against him.

The Democracy say you will yet be found

DO theyr responded Mr.. johnson. well,
sir, you are at liberty to tell all such gentle
men that while, as President, shall endeavor
to drop any partisan character, i certainly am
not prepared to do more than pray for those
who despitetully use me. / think they stand
In need of my prayers, and it's all l can do
for them
Mr., President, we are discouraged said a
committee of freedmen to the President.
Richmond is as much in the hands of the
secessionists now as it was before Lee sur
rendered. Nominally free, we are yet the
worst of slaves, and we see no hope of redress
unless you aid u.s.
Gentlemen answered Mr. j Johnson, you
must exercise patience. You are free, and
the vainest Virginian shall yet not only
acknowledge yom freedom, but your equality,
if you are true to yourselves.
But the local and State laws of Virginia,
Mr.. President
What of the local and State laws of vir-
ginia I? Until these F. F. VS. come to their
senses / rather think United States bayonets
will be about the only laws they shall have.
Go back to your Homework hard, do your
duty, and | will see that the lowest among
you is secured in his right and title to life,
