and her own jewels were scattered over
the floor. The robe she held was her own
gift returned. A faint sickness crept
over her frame, the unnatural tightness of
her nerves gave way, and with gasp, she
fell senseless on the floor.
When Mary's attendant entered the
apartment, she found her lying like a
corpse upon the floor, her beautiful hair
scattered in profusion over her palIid face,
and her black velvet dress lying in folds
about her, contrasting strongly with the
gorgeous robe still grasped in her hand
The frightful attendant called for assls
lance, and laid her insesible mistress on
the couch. 1t was long time before
slight quivering of the poor captive's eye
lids bespoke returning life. When suffi~
ciently conscious to know that her mesA
senger was at her bedside, she raised
herselfupon her elbow, and pointing with
unsteady finger 10 the robe and jewels
scattered upon the floor, she attempted
10 speak, but could only articuIale, why?
why?' and fell back upon her pillow, still
locking in the mans face with such be.
seeching, heart broken earnestness that
his eye filled as he said
James, your son, refused the gift be-
cause il was not directed to hun as King,
instead of Prince of Scotland
A smile, an indescribabIe smile of age

that said her bruised heart was crushed

tempt, because she tamely submitted 10 DC
pillaged and wronged. That the Norm
have been the bankers and factors OF the
South long enough with nothing but melr
Bunk credit and our produce for caP,tat.
That the spirit Of true greatness is IN MIS-
sissippi, its means are within its grasp;
and it is as vain as weak 10 attempt de-
NAL of results, that each day is rendering

resistible. That Mississippi can only he
,obbed of her rights, by being fist deprived
of intelligence, whereby she will loose
the consciousness of being possessed of
any.
My whole time except during the ses-
sion of the courts of Yalabousha and those
of Jackson, shall be zealously devoted to
the attempt of rendering the Advocate
worthy of its name, and vindicator oil
the unparalleled claims of Mississippi TO
greatness, by means of which she Will 'ri-
umphantly extricate herself from present
embarrassment and move onward to rank
among her sister States far beyond the
calculations of careless or prejudiced spec
tators. In conclusion, we would say, that
to our mind, there is but one source
whence danger to this great and free Ma
lion, containing as one undivided whole,
is seriously to be apprehended-and inter-
ference, with, to us, the delicate and SEN
siiive question of right of property. That
Mississippi together with the whole South
will stand by the Constitutional instltu-
lions of the country; but that the slightest
intermeddling with their domestic rela-
tons, will cause them to entrench them
selves behind the bulwark of their reserved
rights.

LA SOLITAIRE
lie sits upon his shady throne,
Beneath the covert green,
The bee and bird his courtiers are,
But where's the gentle queen?
Around him droop the lily bells,
Beside him opes the rose,
She signs away her fragrant breath,
To sooth his lone repose;
Yet bee and bird may wander by,
The rose grow pale and dim
There is no sweet companionship
Amid them all for him.
A light comes DER his smiling eyes,
A soft and sunny gleam-
And airy fancies floating round
En(old him as dream
tOh, would that were Oberon,'
He murmurs sweet and low,
sTo seek my fair Titania, where
The starry jas'mines blow;
To call the knights of fairy land
Upon the circled green
To steal within cowslip cup,
And wake my fairy queen:
No longer here in solitude,
To gaze around and pine
Earth's empire let all others claim,
If Cloudland could be mine!
Dream on, dream on, thou gentle one,
But better far for thee,
To 'bear charmed heart and live
In visions bright and free;
Oh, better far, than weep the change,
When youth and love have flown,
To calmly sit lonely ling
Upon lonely thronet

FOR TIE CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE AND AP
PENDIx.
These works have been published by
us for six years. There are now more
subscribers for them, probably, than fol
any other paper published in the Unltss
States certainly more than there are fol
any other paper published in this District
This large and increasing subscription is
conclusive evidence of their usefulness
They are invaluable to all who feel an in
terest in the proceedings of Congress-
No other publication gives them so full,
nor half so cheap. tits, indeed, the cheap
est publication in The United States-per-
haps in the world. Our position atthe
seat of Government enables us TO print
them at so low rate. We are compelled
TO publish the proceedings of Congress in
detail, for our daily paper. This done
1t requires, comparatively, but small
additional expense to change them TO the
forms of the Congressional Globe and Ap-
pendix. If it were not for these circum-
stances, we could not publish them Tor
four times the sum charged.
The Congressional Globe is made up
of the daily proceedings Of the two houses
of Congress, and the speeches of the
members, condensed. The yeas and NAYS
on all important subjects are given. Its
published weekly, with small type, on
sixteen royal quarto pages.
The Appendix contains the speeches of
the members, at full length, written out
by themselves, and is printed in the same
form as the Congressional Globe. II is
published as fast as the speeches can be
prepared. Usually there are more nam-
bers printed for session than there are
weeks in it.
Each of these works is complete in
itself But it is desirable for every sub
scriber to have both; because, if there
should be any ambiguity in the SYNOPSIS
of speech in the Congressional Globe.
or any denial of IFS correctness, it NAV
be removed at once, by referring toI the
speech in the Appendix.
