An Ode to the Sun. Great mysterious light, shrouded in Decked with splendor having for Thy V'S 9 Immensity of space, and under Thy Control ten thousand worlds imparting thy Genial warmth unto all nature, Without Thee all would be night-all would be Desolation. After a long and dreary Night, we welcome Thee with enthusiasm, i i As Thou in all thy stately majesty, Doth'climb the Eastern hills, on thy generous Mission to impart thy golden light unto All nature. Methinks I see tho smiling Infant, as it nestles in its mother's Arras, clap its ny hands, and gaze upon Thee with rapturous admiration of thy Regal splendor. Methinks I see the Aspiring youth, as he goes forth to his Daily task, greet Thee with a welcome smile.

Methinks I see the silver haired man Of the world gaze upon Thee with a heaving Bosom, as he-thinks him of his misspent Days, and that he will not bo allowed much Longer to enjoy thy golden light. Methinks I seo the hoary haired veteran Of the cross, gaze upon Thee with Beatific delight, as he thinks him Of the golden City of sweet refuge, Of which Thou, by thy magnificent Splendor, doth remind him. We view Thee, as Thou doth climb the gray vault above, As a giant, toiling thy way up To tho vast done of heavon, nntlfThon Hast reached thy most exalted-throne, And wo view Thee in thy meridian Splendor; then indeed art Thou sublime Thou art the light of the world, the god of Splendor-endeared to me by a thousand Recollections of childhood's happy days, When in thy golden light I have chased the liright-wing'd butterfly, or gamboled with the Lambs upon tho hillside." Wherever I Wandered, whether over wood or plain, Whether in the valley, or upon the Mountain top, Thou hast ever been present With thy pure light, to guide my wayward steps. The beautiful mountains, the green valleys, The flowery meadows, the rippling rills, AU bathe themselves ii beauty. Even the waves of tb Seem to rise and fall i.

Being bathed in thy Thy throne is exalte Kings of nations, an es ty. -iiofcie. The centre of ten tl doth Reign over them iu Thou art the nucleus Centorod tho vast creation of au Omnipotent God. Without Theo tho Universe of tho groat Jehovah would Be a dreary desolate waste. Methinks That, on thy creation, the angels of Heaven attuned their golden harpsafrcKht And sang their sweetest hymns of praise To a wond working God.

Methinks I them, in solemn awe, bend their Starry-crownod heads over the Battlements of heaven, to view the Beauty, grandeur, and magnificence Of tho lamp of the universe. We uow watch Thee, as Thou dost take thy Downward mardi in conscious power, And hide Thyself behind the Western Hills; then a feeling of desolation Pervades our hearts-a feeling of Loneliness which we cannot Overcome-and we turn us to our Couch to dream of Thee as the 11 Brightest gem of creation.

Mr. Editor, if you know anything of his whereabouts, please inforui him that Shatterlield is all right; her improvements steadily gaining ground; a brand new giu house has been erectod, and run by waterpower; also a steam mill has been put up by Hutchinson Devore, in the piuey woods of that locality, which makes lumber howl." But Mr. Editor, let us turn our attention to a more thriving place and section than thatof Shatterfield Court Houso," viz: Kirksey's Roads and vicinity, and when I have gotten through please lot Facts and Faucy" take a peep at the he can be found.

On a former argument of thc case in- this court that judgment was affirmed, bul, upon a rear- gument, had atthis a change of opinion, and the judgment ia now re- versed, the same judge the opin- ion.

The credit' of the State could not be withdrawn with- out an open and clear declaration to that effect, ami such: a declaration wa3 not made until 18G8, by the repeal of the charter, which was too Jaie to render the bills no tender in the present case.
