Tin- green leaf raiiHOiiied froiri the main,

Cornee to our shore again;
For thou hast 1k»ii a wanderer long,
On many a fair and foreign strand,
In balm and beauty, sun and song,
Passing from land to land.
Thou bringVt tlie blossoms to the bee,
To earth a robe of emerald dye,
The leaflet to the naked tree,
And rainbow in tire sky;
I tee! thy blest benign control
The pulses of my )outh restore;
Opening lire spring of aeuse and soul.
To love and joy oncaotore
I will not people thy green bowers
With sorrow’s pale and spectre liand :
Or blend with thine the faded flowers
Of memory’s distant land;
For thou wert surely never given
To wake regret from pleasures gone;
But like an angel sent from Heaven,
To soothe creation’s groan.
Then, while the groves thy garlands twine,
Thy spirit breathes in flower and tree,
My heart shall kindle at thy shrine,
And worship Uod in thee,
And in some calm sequestered spot.
While listening to thy choral strain,
Past griefs shall be a while forgot,
And pleasure bloom again.

OH, THU CAPTAIN WHO 1IATKD THE
KNOLISII.
The following good story is extracted
from “ Lonz Powers, or the Regulators:
a Romance of Kentucky. By James
Weir.”
“ What the d—1 is a “ steeple chase'!”
exclaimed a thick-set, heavy personage,
none the brighter for the liquor he had
drunk, and, who, as lie had been in the
last war with England, and waa, like
the majority of the rural popaUtioft of
Kentucky, a most cordial hater of the
English, went by the iiaiiie of Captain.

tain, will you venture l”
“.Vcutcre! to sure I will,” ex
claimed the (f plain,''with an oath,
•‘and what is more.” said he, rising
fitmi bis seat, “ well start now, and I'll
b«* my bay geldi|ig against any other
horse, that I will be the first man to
take my seat in the pulpit of the old
church.”
“ Done 1” exclaimed the Major; “my
gray hunter agaifist your bay that I
will be before you.”
“Agreed! agreed!” shouted the
company; “we’ll go and have one
grand steeple-chase, if we never liave
another.”
“ Shouting for their servauts to bring
out their horses, the revellers began
hurriediy to buckle on their spurs, and
prepare for the race; ami by the time
the wondering negroes had fiultilled
their commands, the Major and guests
were/ully prepared for the contest
By this time most of the lady guests
having retired to their rooms or de
parted to their homes, and Bob wishing
to make the “ steeple-chase” as ridicu
lous ns possible, cried out to the Ma
jor and Captain, who, after taking a
parting taste of the ponch, were making
oft' for their horses—
“ Hallo, there! don’t be in such a
hurry: suppose we all take along with
as a supply of victuals, and have a
cold lunch at the church after our race.”
“ A d—n good suggestion,” said the
(’aptain, as he put a bottle in each pock
et and seized another in his hand. “The
cellar is now stored: some of you take
care of the meat-house.”
“ Wei! thought of,” muttered the Ma
jor, gravely hearing away a turkey.
Each of the others following the ex
ed at full length under the pulpit, with
a small piece orthe Major’s coat tail
nervously grip|>ed in one liaiW, and a
bottle in the oilier—while Bob was
coolly laid out on the only" cushioned
pew in the church, with his pig for a
pillow, and no doubt dreaming of Ids
new patent for greasing hair.» .Acci
dently touching the Captain, as he pass

view of the Major, the countryman
heard him mutter: “ The horse is yours

TUE TWO WAYS;
A STORY FOR BOYS.
Bertram and Robert were two bright
eyed, cheerful lads, always together in
school and out. They did the same
sums and read the same words and
recited the same lessons. If one had
any difficulty the other shared the trou
ble, and their tears flowed together.
Out of school they played the same
plays, eye glistened to eye, and laugh
echoed to laugh. They both had pleas

A few more years of intemperance
and viae, and Bertram, worn out with
disease brought on by exposure and
dissipation, died in a poor-house.

the possession ofgreat wealth, yet with
what is far better, a heart to do good;

cause passing by. In the short space
of one summer, Bertram was so chang
ed in character that he never again
seemed what he was before.
In the fall ho returned to the village,
to the scenes of his school-days, and
Robert and Bertram met It was in
deed pleasant to Robert thus to meet
again his old playmate and companion;
aud after a little conversation, Robert
asked Bertram a question as he had
been wont, but o his horror and sur
prise he replied in a tone of coarssoess
and anger, with a terrible oath. Rob
ert was stung as if a viper had struck
his venom into his very heart, and he
went on his way in deep sorrow and
bitterness, feeling Uiat he had lost in
one moment the friend of his lifetime.
He often thought of happy days they
had spent together, and mourned over
his loss as if he bad been a brother, for
his heart was lonely, and the smile of
gladness for a long time was scarcely
seen to play upon his once sunny fea
tures.
Bertram had chosen a new set of
companions, and here they parted
pany to pome their different
through life.
Bertram went into the bytr of a hotel
to deal out liquid fire foi i smu whose
wretched families were mowNftRg at
home over the destructive evils oiTmm
selling. Robert went into the store of
s pious merchant, whose influence and
worthy example was a constant aid in
the right path of Kfc.
Bertram, as one might suppose, soon
learned to love but loo well the liquors
of the bar, and a fi»# more years
wishes but the exertions of those citizens
who admit the importance of having a
w eekly paper established in the Distnct.!
The Flag is intended to be a consistent and ;
independent journal, devoted as tar as
practicable to the interests of Agriculture, !
Commerce, Science, Literature and reli
gion. In politics, it is unnecessary to say,
that our paper will be devoted to the advo
cacy of the rights of the South, and any
thing having a tendency to advance her
interest, or defend her honor, will receive
our prompt attention. In short we will
endeavor to make the Flag, such a paper
as the wants of the people of the District
call for, and would also solicit the favor and
patronage of our friends in the surround
ing Districts.
Terms, &.c.—The Flag will be sent to
subscribers at $2,00 a year payable in ad
vance, or 2,50 at the expiration of six
months.
