AMERICA.

Oh, mother Of a mighty race,
Yet lovely in thy youthful grace!
The elder danes, thy naughty peers.
Admire and hate thy blooming years.
With words Of shame &c
And taunts of scorn they join thy, name.
For on thy cheeks the glow is spread
That tints thy morning hills with red;
Thy step-the wild deer's rustliDg feet
Within thy woods are not more feet;
Thy hopeful en-
Is bright as tbA,e own summer sky.
Az. let them rail-those naughty ones.
While safe thou dwellest with thy sons
Ihey DO not know how loved thou art,
How many fond and fearless heart
Would rise to throw
Its life between thee and the foe.
They know not in their hate and pride
What virtues with thy children bide;
How true. how good, thy graceful maids
Make bright, like flowers, the valley shades;
What generous men
Spring, like thine oaks. by hill and glen;
What cordial welcomes greet the guest
By thy lone rivers of the west
How faith is kept and truth revered,
Ana man Is loved. and God is feared
In woodland homes;
And where the ocean border foams.
There's freedom at thy gates and rest
For earth's down trodden and opprest,
A shelter for the hunted head
For the starved laborer toll and bread.
Power at thy bounds
Stops and calls back its bafi1ed hounds.
oh. fair young mother! on thy brow
Shall sit a DObler grace than now.
Deep In the brightness Of the skies
The throngtng years In glory rise,
And as they feet
Drop strength and riches at thy feet.
-,
Thine eye, with every coming hour,
Shall brighten. and thy frown shall tower:
And when thy sisters, elder born,
would brand thy name with words OF scorn,
Before thine eye
Upon their lips the taunt shall die.

Hampton. Va, July All the teach
ers that are To fiji positions in the pub
lie schools during the coming session Of
10000 have been elcted in the various
districts throughout Elizabeth city
county except in the WYthe district
1t is thought that this delay is caused
| by the fact that an entire change will
be made in the school system of this
city.
The school that has heretofore been
known as the high school or academy
belongs 10 Chesapeake district and the
West end school TO WNthe district the
ing. y member OF the board. speaking
of this yesterday said that on account
of the superiority of the West End
| building he presumed almost 10 GER
tainty that the West End school would
| be transferred into the high school. In
this case there shall be two male prin
cipals elected, or principal and an ass
sistant. The idea was to make the
principal of the academy in the west
End ut the head of both schools and
the assistant at the old acndeny,
which would become n graded school
would be under his supervision.
Should this arrangement be agreea-
bic to all the members of the board
there would be only six grades In the
converted academy which originally
maintained the highest curriculum.
1t is said that one member OF the
board seriously objects To the change.
The merits and dement's of the
change are being thoroughly gone into
and the decision will be made known
next week when the final conclusion
OF the whole matter will be settled.
GOVERNOR ALLEN COMING
Governor Allen. who has been in
charge of Porto Rico since the United
States assumed control of the islands

Point. III is understood Governor AL
lens health is not so very good and
his visit TO the Point is considered a
desire on his part to recupcrate in the
Virginia Peninsula. Governor Allen
left Porto Rico some time since for
the United States and the hotel people

moment. lie will occupy quarters in

DIFFICULT OPERATION.
DIR. Walter y. Picker yesterday per-
formed quite a painful operation on
Mr.. Warren Hall which proved to be
very successful. Five years ago Mr..
Hall was out on a sailing "trip with
friends on the trim little yacht
'Srpay." when he In some manner fell
and received Il cut on the thigh. IL
was then thought that Il piece of glass
had penetrated the leg. but Mr. HAL
suffered no pain and little WAS thought
of the matter Later MIR. Hall suffered
pains and during the last three months
these pains have become more frequent.
The glass was working it's way down
and became visible just at the knee
cap. nine inches below where il had
entered the leg. Or. Plccker found
upon removing the glass that it was
one inch long and nearly one half inch
wide. Mr.. Hall suffered no serious re-
suits from the operation.
