Mon BoUDoIR, THURSDAY NIGHT,
Feb. ooh, man, man! how lightly
does your spirit fling aside its momRp-
tary sufferings; how readily forget The
trial that seemed, indeed, for an hour
or day, to be one whose effects were
loAg and freshly to endure within the
chastened soul! Your proudest path
is suddenly shaded and changed, yet
onward presses the unminful step; your
fairest hope is baflled and lost, yet up
ward scars the unshrinking mind. Fate
that has smiled but to betray, and af-
fections that have bloomcd but to fade,
are to you but the heeting clouds of a
summer sky. They are there, and per-
haps through tears is the stern eye of
manhood first lifted to meet them.
They pass away, and new beams of
beauty attract and console him. Does
he dearly remember, in other years and
chimes, the early voice of unayaiing
tenderness! know that sometimes
the strong and struggling hearts utter
ly touched, that when all which has
been welcome and cherished seems en-
ded, and happy hours of peace and
beauty no more are lingering over him,
that he may have priced them; know
the pure fountains Of human feeling

purely. and unforbidden, for the swiftly
passing magic of present joy. =

SONGS.

There is no species of composition
that SO universally pleases,as the songs

Patriotism, 60 at once to the heart.

Crowisms Of the day, or the sentiment

THE EXILE OF ERIN.


Tune-"ERIN Go BRAGH."
There came to the beach poor exile of Erin,
The dew on his thin robe, hung heavy and
chill,
For his country he signed, when at twilight
repairing,
He WANDERED alone, by the wind beaten hill;
But the day-star attrackod his eyes sad devo-
ton,
For it rose DER his own native isle of the ocean,
Where once, in the glow of his youthful emo
ton,
He sang the bold anthem of Erin Go Bragh!
Oh sad is my fate, said the heart broken stran
ger,
The wild deer and wolf to covert can flee;
But have no refuge from famine and danger,
A home and a country remain not to me.
All never again in the green sunny bowers,
Where my forefathers lived, shall spend the
sweet hours,
And strike to the numbers of Erin Go Bragh!
Oh, where is the cottage that stood by the wild
woodl
Sisters and sire, did yo weep for its fall7
Oh, where is the mother that watched DER my
childhood,
And where is the bosom friend, dearer than all
All, my sad soul, long abandoned by pleasure,
Oh, why did it doat on fast.fading treasured
Tears, like the rain drops, may fall without
measure,
But rapture and beauty they cannot recall.
Erin, my country, though sa0and forsaken,
In dreams revisit thy sea-beaten shore,
But alas! in far distant land / awaken,
And sigh for the friends who can meet me NO
more!
Oh, hard, cruel Fate, wilt thou never replace
me
In mansion of peace where no peril can chase
All! never again shall my brothers embrace
me, wW
They died to defend me, or live to deplore.
But yet, all its fond rscollections suppressing,
One dying wish my lone bosom shall draw,
Erin, an exile bequeaths thee his blessing,
Land of my forefathers, Erin Go Bragh!
Buried and cold, when my heart stills its mo
ton,
Green be thy fields, sweetest Isle, of the Ocean,
And thy harp-stringing bards sing aloud with
devotion,
On, Erin MA voURNIS, ERlN Go BRAGH!

To L. G. PEYToN ESQ
SIR: The unusual number of crimes
and misdemeanors committed in the
State during the past and present year,
cannot have escaped your attention
many of the culprits escape and but
very few are brought to trial and a
still fewer number are punished. To
cure as far as possible the existing ev-
lis, have to request your strenuous
cooperation.
In every case when prisoner es-
capes from Jail or the custody of the
officer charged with his safe keeping,
| request, that you will procure and
forward to the Executive Department
a certified copy of the Indictment, and
if none has been found, send an aflida-
Wit charging the offender in order that
the fugitive may be demanded, if ares
ted in another STATE in pursuance OF
the Constitution and Laws of the Uni
ted States. will on the reception of
the necessary documents offer a re-
ward for the apprehension Of the fugi-
tive and use all the power vested in me
to bring the accused to trial.
1t would be well in cases where
prisoners escape from the custody OF
officers to institute rigid scrutiny in
to all the circumstances before the
Grand Jury, and when the prisoner
has been volunteerily or thought neg
ligently suffered to escape, to indict
the officer charged with his custod,
under the 49th Section of the act TO
the punishment of crimes and misde
meanors.
| But few of the fines and forfeiture
imposed by Court are ever paid in
to the State Treasury. The Clerk
neglect to make the periodical returns
required by the Statute, this Depart
ment is not furnished with the neces
sary information to enable it to enforce
the collection of balances. | therefore
request you to procure from the clerk.

a statement of all the fines and forfeit
lures which have been imposed or ac-
crued since the LIST day Of May 1888.
together with the returns made on the
executions by the officers, to whom
they were divided. The expenses at
tendant on the procurement of said
certified copies and statements will be
paid by the Executive.
submit to your consideration wheth

Mn. PRENrlss lately praised Mr..
Webster as a great man, great partl-
OF and a great friend of his country.
Let us see how Mr.. w. stood during
the late war, when nancy Of our own
citizens were calamity risklng their
lives in defence Of their country. Some
of these old soldiers are yet alive in this
state, particularly in the eastern eoun-
ties; and in the northern counties there
are many who were nobly fighting I'M
der jackson when Webster was doing
all in his power to destroy his country.
They will be surprized to learn that
their representative would venture to
pronounce an eulogy on the patriotism
ofsuch a man.
On the 18th Of January, 1914, Mr..
Webster, in the House Of Representa-
tives, voted against'an appropriation
to defray the expenses Of the navy.
On the 10th of the same month he
voted against proposition to detect
and punish traitors and spies.
| On the l4th against making proyi-
sion to ill the ranks of the army.
On the 22d against raising troops for
five years.
On the 28th against a non-importa-
ton law.
On the Sth Feb, against raising five
regiments of rihemen.
On the Doth of March, against bill
to execute the laws and repel invasion.
On til I'd of December, against q bill
to raise revenue for the government,
and maintain the public credit.
i On the 10th against the same bill;
also against bill for an appropriation
to rebuild the Copitol after it had
been burnt by the enemy.-Free Ira.

TIE TALBOT TREE.


The TALBOT tree is one ofthe most spIen-
did productions of Ceylon. The body Of
the tree is sixty or seventy feetin height,
and straight as ships mast, without a
limb or leaf until you reach the top, where
is an immense tuft of fan leaves, so large
when spread, each one may cover ten or
twelve men. The stalk or stem Ms, there
are no limbs, clasps the body of the tree,
and inclines outwards, SO that the long leaf
bends over in graceful curve. This vast
crown of evergreen, surrounding such a
shaft is itselfvery grand; but there is some.
thing still grander. When the tree is e.
bout fifty years old it blossoms. In the
centre gifts crown rises a cone seventeen
feet in height, which gradually swells and
enlarges, until at length it bursts with ex-
plosion like the sound of cannon, and a
vast conicial flower, fifteen or twenty feet
in height, and ten or twelve in BREADTH
stands exposed in almost incredible mag
nlficence 1t is yellow, and formed Of
numberless small blossoms, so arranged on
giant stem, and innumerable branches OF
tassels, as to appear over the elevated tuft
ofleayes, as gorgeous diadem on the head
of the queen Of the forests. The tree
blossoms but once and then dies.

EFFEors OF THE TOTAL ABOLITION system

EFFECTS OF THE TOTAL ABOLITION SYSTEM.
By an arrival at this port we have advi-
ces to Aug. 4. The negroes freed in Bar
BADGES, infested Bridgetown, where they
were yagabondizing. The apprenticeship
system seems to be generally abandoned,
or about to be, from the vexatious, and can
ting, meddling emissaries from home. -
Demerara and Trinidad, therefore, would
also go for Total Abolition, as the affairs
Of the planters could not be made worse
than they are. The French Government
have a commission at Cayenne, where the
negroes of course, are restless and wish
also to be free; and the Spanish Govern.
ment, 1t is believed, will have to adopt the
same policy, in respect to Cuba.

AMERICAN SONG.

BY WILLIAM WALLACE
"'TIs TRUE THAT THE HARP"
IT'S true that the Harp of the Poet lies sleep
ing!
But oh, would you have it from slumber I'M
bound,
When the spirits of melody bend o'cr it weep
And fearfully draw from the Tyre sound
For voice hath gone forth from the Queen OF
the Ocean,
"The themes and the scenery Of Liberty's
cline,
Can never awake in her sons an emotion
OF rapture aud feeling, grand-thrlling-
blime!''
Twas thus as / sat by dark rolling fountain,
My harp gave its tones to the whispering gale,
When 10! from the distant and pine-covered
mountain
/ saw rich splendor fash down on the vale!
Twas Columbia's Genius, whose eyes gave the
glory!
Around her tall brow where the wings of the
Storm,
And the scence which have chequered her I'M
dying story
Were tracd on the robes that enveloped her
form!
"AwAKE from thy slumber!" the spirit cried
With the lustre that fell from her own spark
ling eyes,
t'No themes for the Poetl" when brilliantly
flowing
You Cataracts mirror the storm of the skies!
No themes for the lyre2 Behold the bright Ri
verl
How rloriously under the Heven it shines,
While the sunlight of Eve like an archangel's
culver
Hangs splendidly over its towering pines!
No scenes for Bardl Look abroad on the bill
lows
Where Perry has calamity written his name
And still on old ERIE the Thunder God pillows
His forehead of fury in garlands of flannel
Hark bark from the blue of the Heaven hung
DER us
The proud Bird of Liberty utters his scream,
As he mounts to his idol, and proudly before us
Is lost in its light and 'unfolds in its beam'
No scenes for a Tyre? When gloriously beaming
With the bright eyes of heaven, that Flag is
beheld
On the mountain, the top.mast, the capito
streaming,
AS if by the fingers of Seraphim heidi
So long as our Eagle shall moisten his pinions,
In clouds bending over this mountainous
stcep,-
So long as Columbia = unshackled domnions
Are wreath'd by the foam of the dark-rollinG
deep.
So long as her proud Mississippi, while counting
The years of Eternity, rolls to the sea,
Or TIL bow of Niagara splendidy mounting
From the Cataract's bosom shines out on thu
Free;
So LONG hurl your scorn to the Queen of the o
cean,
So long let your scorp with the truth be i'm
prest,
And sing with PoEr's-a PATRIoT's devotion
The ToRRENTs, the LAKES and the DEEDS o

many of Moore's, and last, not least,
that exquisite production of Campbelrs
-"The Exile of Erin" My love for
this last song dates from childhood, at
period when those noble, expatriated
sons of the Emerald Isle, Emmett,
Sampson, McNeven and others, found
an asylum on our shores of liberty.
Well has the debt ofgratitude they in
cured, been repaid by their genius,
patriotism and eloquence.
1t was fashionable at that time, to
sing this song in the cottage-homes of
my birth place, and if the execution
did not accord with the graces of a
Malibran or a Sontag, still there was
sufficient pathos. in the voice, air and
composition, to break up the fountains
of our country sensebility, which heav-
en- be thanked, was somewhat less re-
pressible than in this, our rail road and
and canal era! ,'Just as the twig is
bent. the trees inclined," so that now,
when the dreamy hours Of childhood
have given place to the excitements OF
more advanced years, feel the emo
tions of boyhood stealing over me, when

rio,
"Where is the mother that watch'd DER my
childhood?
And where is the dosom-friend dearer than alll'
