( r THIS LAND OF OUR BIRTH. There is not a spot in the wide peopled earth So dear to the heart as the land of our birth; Tis the home of our childhood! the beautiful spot Which mem'ry retains when all else is forgot. May the blessings of God Ever hallow the sod, And its valleys and hills by our children be trod. Can the language of strangers in accents unknown, Send a thrill to our boom like that of our own? The face may be fair, and the smile may be bland, But it breathes not the tones of our dear native land! There's no spot on earth Like the land of our birth, Where heroes keep guard o'er the altar and hearth ! How sweet is the language which taught us to blend The dear name of parents, of husbands and friend: Which taught us to lisp on our mother's soft breast, The ballads she sung as she rocked us to rest. May the blessings of God Ever hallow the sod, And its valleys and hills by our children be trod! WOMAN. Woman! to thee belongs the first address, Thou light of life, anfl soul of loveliness! Whether thou lingerest near us as we roam, Ordeck'st with smiles the scenery of home; Bind'st with the tenderest care the aching head, Or drop'st thy tears upon our sickly bed; Still thou art nigh; the sunbeam of our days, The bow of promise gilding with thy rays, The clouds that threaten our terrestrial span, And but for thee would burst on lonely man. Oft have I marked thee, soothing pale diftress, Beneath the lowly cot of wretchedness; Heard the lone orphen grateful for thy care, Lisping thy name in fervency of prayer; But never did thy generous deeds impart, A fairer charm to captivate the heart, Than when employed in sweet instruction's hour, Dropping thy dew of knowledge on the flower, That but for thee, unpitied, lone and rude, Had sprung and pined, and died in solitude. O, I could dwell forever on thy name, Thou fairest emblem of cur country's fame! Woman, whene'er my heart my harp my page, Breathenot thy plaudits, let the frosts of age Nip the wild genius of my ripening muse, Vreeze the warm current of my soul diffuse Through every nerve its cheerless cold, the while Unwarm'd by love unblcst by woman's smile. (continued from the first page.) shame, and to conceal their poverty; it extends to the very dregs of society. Thus a whole nation is mined, and all conditions of men confounded. The de sire of gelling money to support a vain expense, corrupts the purest minds. Let a man be learned, wise, virtuous; let liim instruct mankind, win battles, save his country, sacrifice all his own interests; yet will he be despised, if his talents are not set off with pomp and show. Who can set bounds to the torrent! Even those who are wise enough to condemn so great a disorder, are not enough so to dare to be the first to rise up against, and set contrary examples." A VOTER. T assure you, to attach "consequence" to a man. let I must admit that you have some little pretensions to smartness that you have a small smattering of lear ning too, and that you have a tolerable stock of latin phrases or "maxims stow ed away in your very retentive pericra mum, which verv Dal v serves to lit! a mental vacuum there, and which you oc casionally give vent to, in all the classic pomposity of a collegian. Uutalas! what does it all amount to when thus miserably applied! Why, Sir, nothing more in sub stance, (if I may so express myself.) than the unintelligible mutterings of a monkey, or the gibble gabble jargon of a goose. So much, Sir, for your prosaic excel lence. I will now give your poetical powers a passing notice in a brief way, and finally conclude as a matter of course. The exquisite rigmarole which you ad dressed to me, through the medium of the "Free Press" of the 21st inst. so much to my honor, (coming from the source it did,) has a most delectable ditty hitched to its latter end of eight lines length, the offspring of your own prolific brain no doubt, from the loftiness of its style and the grandeur of its sublimity. If so, why Homer and Virgil have nothing to boast of Shakspcaro is eclipsed and Byron, Moore, Campbell, et cetera, dwindle into piliful insignificance. Thus we sec that you are a flaming poet as well as every thing else that is lofty aryl noble. Sir, you certainly must have practiced music during your babyship, first upon the hair of a hurse's tail, stretched between your teeth and fingers, next upon the corn stalk fiddle of your muse, then upon the soap gourd violin of some black woolly headed Apollo of the chimney corner, and so on by degrees you rose to perfec tion in the art, and consequently attained the lofty summit of that sublime hillf of song which your "mamma's" chickens daily ascend in search of grub worms and the like to allay their hunger. Thus "From little fountains mighty rivers (low, And mammoth oaks from pigmy acorns grow." Farewell, friend Paul. rhilo Plymouth Mail Coach, tc. The Press. tA hill in his father's farm yard, which the classic Paul has converted into a mock Parnas sus, whereupon "sports his warbling muse, and his fancy soars sublime." TOR THE FREE TRESS. A word at parting to Paul Pry, alias Small Fry, "a man of consequence" and a very extensive dealer in trash, etc. 'A mountain hath labored and brought forth a mouse." To you, Mr. Pry, I've but little to ullcr, Being quite destitute of that kind of stuff, With which you are won I, Sir, to make a grand splutter, In all the fine gibberish of bombastic puff. Sublimely as usual you figure in print, In classic pomposity you cut a bold dash; I've just got the paper red hot from the mint, Containing your beautiful budget of trash. Your exquisite rigmarole about a small mail, Which comes once a week from Plymouth town here, Is doubtless the prettiest original tale That's graced a newspaper for many a year. A stupendous effort it is, I declare, The brain that "conceivM it is truly prolific; For surely there's nothing on record so rare, So learned and profound, or so scientific. But jesting apart 1 am apprehensive, friend Pry, that you are laboring under a sad mistake as it regards your "conse quence." You have, Sir, with all the as surance of a miserable self-conceited-ness, denominated your own exquisite self "a man of consequence" But, Sir, no man of common sense, Deems you "a man of consequence.', No, Sir, no one but your own dear self regards you as such, nor does any one think that you nave yet snown any pre monitory symptoms of future greatness, your "mamma s prediction to tne contra rv notwithstanding. Such pitiful balder dash, contemptible trash and school boy foolery as that in which you arc such an A caution to Mothers.

Baptist Convention. The Pittsboro' Central Reflector says: A few days since onvention composed of a highly re spectable assemblage of tli clergymen annexed to the Baptist Church, convened at the creditable and spacious church re cently erected in the vicinity of Tick Creek. We were present several days during the progress of the meeting, and we never recollect having seen a larger concourse of persons on any occasion. There are conflicting opinions in regard to the number present on the Sabbath the estimates of the number range from 3500 to.5000. Those who attended the meeting were amply requited for their at tendance by the highly gifted and pious men who officiated on the occasion and on the Sabbath wc conceived the exerci ses of the meeiing to be eminently enga ging and impressive for there were three sermons preached in succession which imparted unmingled satisfaction, whilst they fastened the grasp of convic tion on many thoughtless minds.
