The Poor.

vTVO the FARMERS of the VALLEY.
1.-The undersigned appeals in behalf of the
starving people of South Carolina-his native
State-to the farmers and all other persons hay
ing corn for sale in the Valley and the adjacent
country, to sell and deliver to him their surplus
at the earliest practicable moment. It is inn
peritively necessary that corn should be gotten
to these people at once in order that they may be
saved from actual starvation as they failed al
most entirely in corn crop themselves and sup
plies from other sources are cut off by the almost
unprecedented condition of the country roads and
the interruption of Railroad communication by
the washing away of bridges, &C.
This appeal is not for contributions: propose
to pay the market price in cash upon the deliv-
people will not horde up the necessaries of life
from their furnishing countrymen. Much good
may be done by the immediate delivery of SO
bushels by each farmer ifhe cannot deliver more.

Close to the sun in lonely lands,
hinged with the azure world, he stands.
The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls;
He watches from his mountain walls,
And like thunderbolt he falls.

Close by We hen-roost; gazing thence
He spies mice what's got no sense.
Ye mice beneath can't we'll see him;
He watcheth from his lofty limb,
Then jumpeth down and grabbeth him.
He thus draws his conclusion.
