The burden of my song for years, Has been a nation's wrongs and tears— Wrongs that breathe a horrid tale Of orphans' woe and widows' wail— Of gallant heart', whose pulse, forever Still, to throb in Glory'. canoe shall never Awake, though Glory shout forever,— Of blood whose loss bath shed a gloom O'er every heart, as though the tomb . Had shut its jaws upon that pow'r Which nations need in dang'rous hour— Of - threat'oing millions o'er the 'nation, Pended by th' Administration, Whose niche in never.dyipg story, Will breathe of infamy, not glory.

We will give something." "2. We will give as God has enabled "3. We will give willingly." As soon as the meeting was over, a lead ing slave took his seat at a table, with pen end ink, to put down what each came to give. Many came forward and put down, some more and some less. Among those that came was a rich ,old slave, almost as rich as all the rest put together, who threw down on the table a small silver coin.— "Take dat back again," said the slave who received the money ; "dat may be accord ing to de first resolution, but notacc.ording to do second." The rich old man accord ingly took it up, and hobbled back to his seat in great rage. One after another came forward, all giving more than himself, he was ashamed, and again threw a piece of money on the table, saying—" Dar, take (lat." It was a valuable piece of gold, but it was given so ill-temperedly that dle . slave answered again—"No dat wont do yet— It may be 'cordin' to de first find second resolutions ; but not 'cordin' to de last ; " nd he was obliged to take up the coin a gain. Still angry at himself and all the rest, he sat a long time, till nearly all were gone, and then came to the table, and with a smile on his face very willingly gave a large sum to the treasurer. "Berry well," said the slave, "dat 31112 accordin' to all de resolutions." SOUND VIEWS IN THE RIGHT QUARTER. —The following extract 'is from an Ad dress delivered by the lion. Wm.
