Not with a conqueror's song, 

 Thy courtu, O GikI, we throng, 



For battles gained ; 

 No cannon's sulphurons tinoat, 

 No trumpet gives its note, 

 No banners o'er us float, 



VVitn fresli blood stained. 



Over no captive kings. 



Our eagle spreads her wings, 



Or whets her beak ; 

 Nor, o'er the battle plain. 

 Where death-shot fell like rain, 

 Where lie in gore the slain, 



Comes her Bhrill shriek. 



For Akt, which thou hast given 

 The tribute, due to heaven, 



We come to pay ; 

 Art, that, to deck her halls, 

 On air and vapor calls. 

 On winds and water-falls, 



And all obey. 



Art, that, from shore to shore, 

 Moves, without sail or oar, 



'(iainst winds and tides; 

 Or, high o'er earth and seas, 

 Sits in her car at ease. 

 And heavon-ward, on tiie breeze, 



Triumphant rides. 



Art, that, through mountain bars 

 lireaku, that ht-r horseless cars 



Self moved may go ; 

 And, without looking back. 

 Rolls, on her iron track. 

 Where the white cataract 



Thunders below. 



Art, that, on spool or reel. 

 Winds the smooth silk or steel 



Spun by her hand. 

 Then, with her touch of fire, 

 Draws, from the chord or wire, 

 Tones than an angel quire, 



Well might demand. 



Art, to thee. Most High ! 

 Gladly doth sanctify 



Her works and powers ; 

 Lord, ere our tongues are still, 

 Our hands forget their skill, 

 To thy most holy will 



Devote we ours.

Tune — Old Hundred. 

 Ti-^hee, O God ! our song of praise 

 With heart and voice we humbly raise ; 

 Thy goodness, traced each coming day. 

 Demands the grateful vows we pay. 



As low we bend before thy throne, 

 As thy great mercy still we own, 

 B(! each desire and hope subdued, 

 In love, to thee and man, renewed. 



Our fathers owned the Almighty arm. 

 Ere An had borne its fairer form ; 

 For higher blessings we have known 

 Our thanks are dne to thee alone. 



While heavenly choirs unceasing swell 

 A loftier strain than man can tell. 

 Our latest erne, O God ' shall be 

 To bring a tribute worthy thee. 



Soon shall each pulse of life be still. 

 And pride of Art, and human skill ; 

 Then raise the trusting soul in love, 

 To learn its highest theme above ! 



To thee, O God ! our song of praise 

 Willi heart and voice we liumbly raise ; 

 All creatures join, in love, again. 

 While skies roll back a loud amen. 



Mulberry Trees. — The following, froin the 

 New York Partner, r( ntaiiis hints that shoiihl not 

 he forgotten by the |>eople of Ohio. Our climate 

 and soil are ndinirahly adapted to the growth of 

 the niulherry, and the rearing of the silkworm. — 

 The native mnlberry is |)lcntifully spiinkled 

 through our forests, grows luxuriantly hy the road 

 aide, in fence corners, and neglected patches, 

 where the large timber has been destroyed ; and 

 we notice that the young ladies of a family in one 

 of the villas that beautify the land of Penn, an- 

 nually feed a large nundier of silkworms fioin the 

 leaves of the native midberry growing In the vi- 

 cinity, and with health, pleasure, and profit. A 

 prettier shaile tree does not flourish in our clime, 

 and the mulberry is second only to the broad- 

 leafed Catalpca of the sunny south. 



Cteaveland Gazette. 



"Mulberry trees should be planted by the town 

 authorities in the public streets of every town and 

 village; and thus, whib they add to the beauty 

 of a hamlet, they inay add also to the wealth of 

 its inhabitants. In the south of France, where 

 silk is a staple commodity, the manufacture of it 

 is more or less the employment of a portion of the 

 family of every farmer. The great canal of Lan- 

 guedoc is lined with mulberry trees. The travel- 

 ler passes over highways overhung with the bran- 

 ches of this beautiful tree, the cultivation of which 

 distributes wealth throughout that portion of Eu- 

 rope. 



The climate is known to be favorable to the 

 production of silkworms; and every gentleman of 

 taste, who wishes to combine ornament with use- 

 fulness — every landholder who is desirous of in- 

 creasing the value of his own property, and of ad- 

 ding a stiumlus to industry, should have mulber- 

 ry trees surtoundiiig their houses, planted by the 

 road-side, and scattered over their grounds. By 

 pursuing this plan, the rearing of the silkworm 

 will, ill a few years, become a profitable employ- 

 ment and fashionable amusement, — certainly a 

 harmless one. 



Cant. — There's nothing I hate so much as 

 cant of all kinds; it's a sure sign of a tricky dis- 

 position. If you see a fellow cant in religion, 

 clap your hands into your pocket, and lay right 



hold of your purse, or he'll steal it as sure as 

 you're alive ; and if a n an cant in politics, he'll 

 sell you if he gets a chance, you may depend. — 

 Law and physic are jisi the saHie, and every mito 

 and morsel as hud. If a lawyer take to cant, it's 

 like the (ox preac-hiiig to the geese, he'll eat u|) 

 his whole congregation ; if a doctor takes to it, 

 he's a quack as sure as rates. The Lord have 

 massy on you, for he won't. I'd sooner trust my 

 chance with a naked hook at any time, than one 

 that's half covered with bad bait. 'J he fish will 

 sometimes swallow ihe one without thinkin', bur 

 they get fiightem-d at t'other, turn tail, and off 

 like a shot. — The Clockmaker. 



Horses. — The fall in the price of horses, in con- 

 nexion with the general reverse of business, has 

 been very great. Spans which last year, fir the 

 sake of taste and style, would have brought $.500 

 or $600, will not now connnand more than half 

 the money. One superb span, for which early iu 

 the sjiring, $10C0 was offered, have been recently 

 sold for $500. The range of prices for single 

 horses, on the calculation of useful wear, is from 

 $.50 to $125 each, being rather better, when com- 

 pared with last year, than in the case of fancy 

 spans. The raising of cattle and sheep has, in 

 some parts of our country, rtm far ahead of dai- 

 ries and beef. — JV. Y. Jour. Com.
