LONG AGO.'

Long ago. Those words how Thrilling
Come they with their murmur low,
The spirit S troubled waters sitting
With their music "Long ago"
Memory's long decp-hoardcd treasure
Bring they to the spirits light;
Days of yore with dreams of pleasure,
Rushing back upon the sight.
Long ago! Those words Of sadness,
Bringing through the mists of years,
Wis ons of departed gladness--
Ito oiSV,sVI' o'sns ~a.d so~,s.
Dreams of youth and thoughts or flowers,
Fading, but surprising sweet,
Skies, where brightly fed the hours,
Never more the sight to greet.
Long ago! Those words how dearcr
Far than others we may know,
When they bring our spirits nearer
To the loved of long ago,
The key.notes of measure, filling
All the heart with harmony!
The discord of the present shilling,
Calming all its troubled sea.

American Quarterly Review contains

circumference, and its popu lation about
seven thousand. The Republic was
founded more than one thousand four
hundred years ago, en- moral principles,
industry and equality, and has preserved
ITS liberty and independence amidst all
the wars and discords which have ragged
around it. Bonaparle respected it, and

all sides are seen comfort aud peace, the
happy effects of mortality, simplicity,
liberty and justice.

LiFE AND IT'S CAREs.--ln all this wide

child cries in It's cradle; 1t but begins as it
will continue Ia all ranks, there is tho
same ovorpowering misery the poor man
has all The higher faculties Of his being
absorbed in perpetual struggle with
cold and hunger; step higher, and pre-
fence comes to nggravae poverty; dig
we cannot, and to beg we are ashamed.
Go on into what are called higher classes,

The soul, but there is no relish for them;
and Injuries which have become wear-
some as wants. The feelings are either
dull in selfish apathy, that excludes en-
Ioymcnt, or unduly keen, till a look or
word is torture. Then your philos0-
piers, your poets, your men of science,
what do they do, but spread breathing
and healthfui life on wasting pursuits, in
which the very success, only shows how
worthless it is TO succeed? The mind
feeds upon the body; pale sickness, and
early decrepitude, oyermaster even its
spiritual essence. Too late it discovers
that this earth is its prison, and motifs
home: the heart beats, and its pulses are
the clockwork Of wretchedness the head
only examines 10 find that all is void and
worthless. We feel, and all we feel is
misery; we know, and the whole Of our
knowledge is evil. In one thing has
Fate been merciul-it has placed at the

EVIL CoMPANIoNS Parents cannot be

Says the distinguished Robert Hall, in
his Works" recently published by Har-

"Socely is the atmosphere Of souls
and we necessarily imbibe from it some q

The society of virtuous persons is en-
Joyed beyond their company, while vice
carries a sting into solitude. The socie-

indication Of your character and the

The Nashville Union Of the 18th ult.

ceedlng overland to Mississippi river,
on his way to the Texan capital; and

father and son, if indeed, it be not
equally near and dear, will be severed
perhaps forever. And we fell assured
that nothing short of a sense of duty
to has country could have an acceptance
of the mission.
"The diplomatic agency Of this
eminent in Texas is at this moment
the most important mission abroad; al
though it ranks with those of the Sec
ond class, its high and important du-
ties require the talents of one every
way qualified for the first foreign mis-
SION on the globe. We congratulate
the administration on being able to Sc
cure the services of one so eminently
qualified in all respects for the station

rable results"

FURTHER RETURNS.

The Globe Of the 4th inst. says
" We have received returns from 38 OF
the So counties in the State, which
give democratic majority of 2,422,
and democratic gain of 1850, com
pared with the gubernatorial election
of last month, when the democratic
majority in the State was 4,397. l6
of the 90 counties which remain to be
heard are democratic. The twenty
gave democratic majority of 1884
for governor at the late election; and
as the democratic counties already
heard from have increased their major
ity on an average of at least 100 each,
it is reasonable to suppose that the re-
naming counties will give an aggre-
gate majority of 5000. If they do,
the democratic majority in the State
will be about 1900"

ARKANSAS.

As we expected, the report which
had been circulated by the whig pa
pers, that Arkansas had elected whie
governor and wing congressman, is
false. Drew, the democratic candi-
date, has been elected over Gibson, w.
and Byrd, pirate, by majority of 9O8
votes. Mr.. Yell, the candidate for
congress, has received majority of a.
bout 1927. We are assured that the
official returns will not materially alter
this statement.
This state voted for president on
Monday last, and we have no doubt
she will give the democratic standard
bearers, Polk & Dallas, majority of
from three to five thousand.-T Byrd is
called pirate, because it is said he is
wing in disguise: like pirate, he
sailed under false colors.l
