She witnessed the exciting contest between Henry Clay and James K.

Polk, (feeing the latter candidate)and remembered a campaign sorgoftl-i' times, of which we give two stanz as as follows. I a rest ladies, blessyoursoulu, Pray send your husband to the polls; And as the go -mrp to say: 'Io vote, in dear, for Ilenrv Clay. Hark! single girls throughout the land. And inina to whom you give your hand; Before you set the wedding day, List make them swear they'll vote for Clay. Mrs.

McNaob remembered many of the love song that were sung in the days of her youth, and believingthat ihe render will be interested to know even oneof them, I give the following interesting, ballad: As rode over Island Hill, To a fanner's house I came; It late and almost night, i tarried at tin same. Ah I became a courtier there, A bonny lass I spieit; She asked me i( I had a wife, My marriage I denied. Hupper being over now, And all things of the bet, Said the good man to his wife B' kind unto nr guest. Our courtier is an Irishman, An Irishman so brave. And if he stays longin this place.

Our daughter he shall have. Breakfast being over now, And all things carried in. This goo'1 old man to medMsav Vid you wed my daughter Jane? Five hundred pounds I'll give to yon P.esides a tract of land. Soon as Miese words he snoko to fie. I thought on Peggy Bann.

Pcp-o-v von are the oijO think love you best, Mthono'h ue ni' so far- nnart My heart lies in your breast. Although we are so far apart. And seas betveen us roar. Constant and true I'll prove to you And lore you ev more. Banner Elk.
