Yes, frl 1t, sad hearts, but in stern lofty pride
With reverence heaving the breast;
But its folds will not rust, ere we shall betide
The dastards that lowered its crest;
\ sound is abroad like the deep, sullen roar
That tokens the earthquakes unrest,
Or the moan Of old Ocean, lashing the shore,
When storm-fends are goading his breast
There's a rush and a whir, as if yiewless thing
Bear tidings of Death on the blast
'Tis the rustic and swoop of invisible wings,
As the herald of Vengeance sweeps past.
Yes, furl it, proud hearts! That is blood on it
bars,
Not the 6lash of the cringing Stare;
The tide that welrd up, and tarnished its star
Was pour'd from the hearts of the brave;
Yes, fold it now, boys, all bloody and riven-
Remove not tint of its gore;
It's claims are endorsed by Powers Of Heaven
And due on Eternity's shore
Yea sooner, for Justice sits thrOned in her halls
Her keen sword uplfted and bare
Not stain on that Flag--not a..tear-drOp that
falls
But is treasured and credited there.
Yes. furl it, brave hearts-like hope that has
fed
Some beautiful hope, in Life's Heaven,
That blazed for time, then down swiftly sped,
Like the glow of meteor at even;
All. so fell my o,c,,-my own bright Lopefy Star
Hurled down from its place in my sky;
R,t mothers low vail reaches up-how far
To,he Ear that is listening on High,
The dark tide that purpled my child's sunny
hair
Is more potent thnn Tyranny's horde,
And Right oyer might shall ere long rend
the air
For "Feagccnce is Nine" saith the Lord
Yes. fsrl it now, boys, in the beauty OF rust
In the blood of the martyr'd dead,
Each atom is strength, of their haliowed DUST
But .,,,y ways are not thine" he hath faF.'
Ard fruition of all for which ye have striveh'
MAY spring from the woes Of today
For = need of unrest, to Tyranny given
will rend from the spoilers their prey;
uark bark, to their strife, as OF wolves IN
their lair
As Anarchy sweeps on his course,
But a Right Arm unseen, ready poised IN the
air
viii strike down both rider and morse.

CRUSHING TAxEs.-The taxpayer of the country who has been cooperating with the party that has already brought the country to the verge of financial ruin has, in the following paragraph, food for serious reflection. It presents one of the beauties of Radical ascen dancy:
 The circulating medium of the country at tho present time is about S750, ,000, 900; S400 900 GOO in national bank notes. The amount of taxes collected last year for all purposes was about $500, 100000. Thus it will be seen that had the taxes all been payable at the same time, there would not have been money enough in the country. by sl50, ,000, ,000, to pay them. Isn't that a pretty commentary upon our Financial condition! Not money enough in the country to pay it's taxes for single levy.

THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES.

A careful observer cannot fail to see that the people of the South and of Ar kansas particularly. have made sad mistake in their reasoning, concerning the products of their soil, and their ability to meet their liabilities this fall. We took occasion in our last issue to say something of the folly of raising cotton so exclusively which to some degree we repeat this week as facts, and time, butmore fully demonstrated, that the cost of raising cotton has ex- ceeded the price which the stable now brings in this market. These things properly considered, cannot fail to im- press the thinking mind, and prove the conclusion that next season will be un- vsually hard upon the planter. During the whole of the season past our plan ters, or the most of them, have bought corn and provisions upon which to make the present crop, and failure to realize expected prices, leaves them as far behind as they were last fallsThere is one feature, however, in the devel- opments of the present season, which is indeed signincant. Most planters, while they patronized>cotton largely, have not let the lessons of the past go unheeded, but have made corn sufficient for bread and feed for stock. Thus. -while the signs of the times are that money will be unusually scarce next season, there will be a sufficient quau- tity of corn in the country to make bread, and from this consideration, our planters will not be compelled to mort gage,so heavily to make their next years crop.
