There are beautiful valleys and mountains high, With rivers,and forests, and hills : And beautiful fountains leap up to the sky, Then descend in murmuring rills. There beautiful life-trees forever grow,

There is beautiful music borne in the air From rare birds with flashing wings;

And beautiful odors afeat everywhere, Which an unseen censer flings ;

Dear Sin: —In the Heraid of 4th instant, appears a catechism from ‘Capt. Jinks,’ carricaturing and showing the composition of the eleven electors who published « communication in favor of Hon. W. W. Suilivan’s politioal course. In Capt. Jinks epistle to the Herald, appears the name of Anthony McOormack, whom he considers is the patent protector of Mr. Suilivan It is very easy for Capt, Jinks to understand and know that Mr, Sullivan can, and is, well able to protect himself without the aid or ossistance of anyperson. If Capt. Jinks had appeared in pointon any political ques. tion, there would be some pleasure ig eon» troversy, but enquiring the pedigrees of respectable people, is not a matter of gem» eral interest.

His reference to Mr Richard Divan, is unneighborly and unbecoming. Mr, Divan is a very respectable farmer, who has worthy credit

His third remark is of David Lewis, Esg., who is a respectable tradesman and farmer, who has brought up a respectable family by his own honest industry, and will stand or fall by that.

His fourth remark is of Mr. Michael Me- lsaac, who, he says, Mr. Sullivan brought out ofa state of jeopardy, and appointed to a Government office. If Mr. Molsaac has bettered his condition by honest exer- tions, it is more to his credit

{lis fifth, isof Donald McIsaac. He says he has great influence over herbs. This is

_one of the simplest observations ever made ;

it is not worthy of remark or consideration whatsoever. His sixth, is of John Melnnis. He says

Thrice did they renew the attack, an! as many times were they repuleed by the fire of the Imperial troops. At last Odowalsky perceived that, for the presont, very little could be doze without heavy artillery. He, therefore, sullenly retreated tathe Kleiu- the bullets

brought to bear against him, and not to any objections the people had aguinst him as a man and a politician. Mr. MacDonald's representation as a man and a_ politician stands to-day as high and untarnished in the estimation of the free and independent voters of King’s County as it did when they first returned him as their honored and faithful representative to the Dominion House of Commons. And soon the time shall arrive when the anomalous political combination, which caused the defeat of Mr. MacDonald, shall have been broken up, and men of all denominations shall be permitted to vote on purely political prin- ciples. Then shall Mr. MacDonald re» sume his proud position as the fearless and

he was a notable grave digger. (What s

His eighth, is of John Summer. He says, who seasons hoops, &c., &c. Mr. J. Summers is a man who is well known by the people of St. Peter's Bay, aud is a very honest and industrious tradesman.

His ninth, is Mr. John Mcisaac. He ap.

The Swedish troops halted in | utter astonishment, and the adj :tantsgeneral springing forward, demanded, almost breaths lessly, of Odowaleky, what was the meaning of this ringing ?—whilet Konigsmark, con~ tinually suspicious of the man who had
