THE NOBLY BORN.

Who counts himself as nobly born
Ia noble In despite Of place,
And honOrs are but bands to one
Who wear them not with natures grace.
The prince may sit with clown or churl.
Nor fsel''hls state disgraced thereby;
But he who has but small esteem
Husbands that little carefully.
Then be thou peasant, be thou peer.
Count II still moro than art thy own;
Stand on larger heraldry
Than that Of nation or Of Zone.
What though not bid to knightly hSilSI
Those halls have missed u courtly guest
That mansion Is not privileged
Which Is not open to the best.
Give honor due when custom asks,
Nor wrangle for the lesser claim;
It Is not to DO destitute,
To have the thing without the name.
Then doSt thou come OF nSbls blood
Disgr ace not thy good company;
II Iowly born, 10 bear thyself.
That gentle blood may come Of thee.
Strive not with pain to scale the height
OF some fair gardens petty wall
But scale the open mountain side,
Whose summit rises over all.

W. mononrnII,s Apology.

The telegraph gave US a full report q

the Senate, in which Mr.. McDougall, OF

cency of that body. On Friday that &C
centric gentleman made an apology which

tempted to reproduce it Here it is:
Mr.. President A few days sicne ]
presented some remarks to the Senate OF
a personal character. It was and is the
opinion Of my most trusted and nearest
friends that the remarks of which l speak
were not justified by the then present oc-
casion, were in violation Of the true rule
of decorum, and were also offensive to
fhis body. Under the influence of such
| counsels, and with careful thought, it has
become my conviction that the judgment
of those to whom 1 have referred was
and is correct / have always thought
thst it was nobler to confess an UMPIRE
meditated wrong than even to maintain
the right. With this conviction l have
risen to acknowledge the wrong, to ex-
press ny profound regret and to ask the
pardon Of this body. I do this with more
than mere satisfaction
1t is further due to myself, as also &c
the Senator, my colleague. that I should
request his pardon this 1 now do. 1 had
