receive bank bills of the Bank of Tennessee new

You are therefore instructed where suits have
been brought against defaulting revenue collect
ors TO receive from them their sureties In pay

As Polk has already Mexican silver mine,

And side by side, with lettering pace,
And pausng sometimes, face to face,
We wandered slowly on the strand.
We left behind a laughing crowd
We felt no need of company;
The clear blue heavens that DER us bowed,

Where Earring fears and cares were stilled,
And speech were interruption rude.
So on we wandered, hand In hand.
O'erglad to be to each SO near,
So heart-content, SO fond and dear,
Alone upon that pleasant strand.
And when our footsteps we retraced,
The comrades we had left behind
Exclaimed: well, what's upon your mind,
