WALK WITH THE LORD.
nY MRS. L. H. srGoURsEY.

, Al evening time, il shall be light. Zach. Ia,
Walk with the Lord at morn,
When every scene is fair,
With opening buds the boughs adorn,
And fragrance fills the air;
Before the ROSY dawn, awake,
And in thy beings pride,
Thy first young blush of beauty, make
0mniposepce thy guide.
Walk with the Lord at noon,
When feryid suns are high,
And Pleasure with her treacherous boon,
Ailureih manhood's eye
Then, with the diamond shield of prayer,
Thy souls opposers meet,
And crush the thorns of sin and care
That blind the pilgrims feet.
Walk with the Lord at eve,
When twilight dews descend
And nature seems a shroud to weave,
As for some smitten friend;
While slow the lonely moments glide
On mournfui wing away,
Press closer, closer to His side,
For He shall be thy stay.
Even shouldst thou linger still
Till midnight spreads its pail,
And Age !aments with bosom chill
Its buried earthly all,
Thy wilhered eyes signal bright
Beyond the grave shall see,
For He, who maketh darkness light,
Thy God, shall walk with thee.

THURSDAY MORNING. AUGUST 6. Is4o.
From the Richmond Yeornan.

The extract we publish below of letter from
DIR. DUNCAN, the Van Buren, member OF Congress
from the Cincinnati District Ohio, written in 1885,
will show what reliance the South ought to place
on the political statements or opinions of this Ad.
ministration bully, whose iudecencies in Congress
are proclaimed in the very speeches which the Wan
Buren, party 10 the South hold 10 to their fellow
citizens as models of truth and political orthodoxy.
Here is the extract: how complimentary to The
South !!
THE SENTIMENTS OF DR.. DUNCAN.
There is NO man living, perhaps, who is more
deadly hostile 10 slavery than am NJ, feelings,
my education, the circumstances that have surround
ed me through life, together with my principles Of
what believe TO constitute the natural and roti-
cal rights Of men--al conspire make me abhor IL
as one cfMe greatest eVils that ever existed on
the face Of The earth. Yes, greater in It's moral
effects and corruptpg tendencies than all other hu-
man evils put together. Il is not only moral and
political evil within ITSELF in,rinsicay so, of the
darkest and most damaing character, bot in all its
bearings and effects on both the moral and political
institutions Of our county Ii is an evil that has
done now, and will in all time to come while il ex-
lists, involve in IT, well ia its present possession
as in its future operations, crime, fraud tkeJi rob-
berry, and death For the truth OF what say, ms
TO its present effects upon the institutions OF our
country, have only to refer you to a view of the
slave States in our Union, and a comparison be-
tween the relative condition .f he Improvements
OF them and the free States You see the free States

ments and private prosperity swift, and head in

slave institutions have residence"
