Arou,Id, on costly couches tat
Statesmen of high degree;
And, conscious of her loneliness,
She stood most patiently,

Tod her that she must wait awhile.
And on the hours rolled, onward stilI,

She stood neglected, old and Ill,

Aud slow the sun came fainter down,
Upon the brilliant floor,
The Trembling woman started at
The opening of door;
And hagsaTd, pale, with restless eye,
Came one to whom thus piteousy:

I've waited patiently;
Perhaps the President cannot

And promised fall redress

When one who honors poverty

And when thy summons comes, dear man,
And God shall take thy hand,
And lead thee to throne of love

May widows tears, fast falling down,
Turn TO rich jewels In thy crown"
And more she said that he might die

Nor saw the assassin creeping by,
Nor read the hideous page

On Slavery's bloody coronet.

mo debt shall be contracted by this State, ex.

Remove thiswise restriction in our fun

rupts in few years. This change is one
already proposed by the advocates of the
Convention. Virginia, without such re.
striction in her Constitution, incurred Il
debt OF nearly $4,000, 900. part of which
we are required to pay. Shall we call a
Convention to make It possible that West
Virginia may labor under the same bur
