Beware of the south-oh! attempt not the
gloom, -,
Lest YOU share with the tyrant his terrible
doom; .,
For the hour is coming-ah! soon twill be
here, q,
When the hands Of the strong men shall
culver with fear!
The foe shall upspring where he crouching
hath lain,
And exultingly lift his red hand Ger the
slain;
And the shouts Of the ruthless avenger shall
blend
With the wall that goes up where no arm
shall bofriend!
Beware Of the South,
For the hour draws nigh
When the arm that is bound shall
Be lifted on high!
Beware of the South-for oh! DARK is the
hour
That awaiteth the downfall of ~tyrranny's
power!
When the flames round her mansions leap
flashing on high,
And the sound Of rebellion comes laundering
by,
When the helpless are left for a spoil and a
prey,
And the hand Of the ravisher bears them
away
Oh! then will the bloom OF the South be laid
low,
Like the glory Of SodOm, in anguish and
woe!
Beware of the South,
For its beauty is dim,
And the red-cup of vengeance,
Is filled TO the brim!

at leisure he enjoys himself, but at work gives
his strength and mind and soul to his call
ing. The people resemble ants; their i'm
mense numbers enable them to perform ope-
rations in an incredibly short space of time;
we see no horses, nor oxen, nor heavy wagons
employed; no slow moving cranes, or great
application of the great mechanical powers,
but men, nimble handed, numberless men,
who need nothing of the kind, because they
use for every thing all the brains and all the
fingers that God has given them. They must
work to live, and they know that their happi-
ness consists in working cheerfully; they
have reduced living to mere existence, and one
must go to China 10 learn how few in reality
are the real necessities of life; how labor is
cheapened and multiplied; what human in-
dustry is capable OF accomplishing; how
many prlvations human nature will s~ustain;
how little it will regard pleasure, and how
it will make work a pastime. Truly the
spectacle of Chinese cheerful industry is an
improving sight, for what it has done is ex-
empliied by the position of the nation, which,
without foreign aid, with mighty obstacles TO
surmount under the brutality of Tartar DOM
nation, has made itself a marvel to all the
earth, and would were it necessary, raise
monuments far more stupendous than the sew
en- wonders of the world. II.

NY KINGDOM FOR A SwoRD.-Sometimo
ago we appealed to our military friends for
an old sword. If any Of them have such a
tool, that has done the State some service on
training days, and will lend it to US, we will
give it a christian name on our anvil. A.
bout the first of January, there is to be a great
Anti-Slavery Fair in Fancuil Hall; where
thousands Of things, bearing each the crown
mark Of Liberty, will be exhibited and sold.
Hard, red, horny fingers, and finger like twigs
of alabaster ringed with diamonds, arc at
work for the slave, and we would have a
hand in that business too. 1t may be a mere
fancy Of ours, but we should affect much to
stick the devil end Of a sword into the fro
and shape it into a pruning hook or horso
shoe, and then hang it up in Faneuil Hall
as an evidence Of the possibility of welding
Christianity on to Experimentation CT

The merchant personally saw that a decent

educated her for a high station in life, and on
her marriage, presented her with a proper
dowry. He lived to hear her children lisp

THE SOUTH.
BY A. b. MEEK.

Oh! como to the South, sweet beautiful one,
IT'S the cline Of the heart, tbs the shrine Of
the sun,
Where the sky ever shines with a passionate
glow,
And flowers spread their treasures OF CRIMSON
and snow;
Where the breeze DER the waters watts in
cense along,
And gay birds are glancing in beauty and
song;
Where summer smiles over each mountain and
plain,
And the best gifts of Eden onshadow'd re-
main.
Oh! come to the South.
The shrine of the sun,
And dwell in its bowers,
Sweet beautiful one!
Oh! come to the South, and I'll build thee a
home,
Where winter shall never intrusively CONES;
The queen-like catalpa, the myrtle and pine,
The gold-fruited orange, the ruby-gem'd vine
Shall bloom round thy dwelling and shade
thee at noon,
While birds of all music keep amorous tune;
BY the gush Of glad fountains We'll rest us
at eve,
No troubles to vox us, no sorrows to grieve,
Oh! come 10 the South
The shrine of the sun,
And dwell in its bowers,
Sweet beautiful one!
Oh! come TO the South tia the home Of the
heart,
No sky like its own can deep passion i'm
part,
The glow of its summer is felt in the soul,
AID Love keepeth ever his fervent CONTROL
Oh! there would thy beauty most brilliant
ly beam,
And life pass away like some delicate
dream;
Each wish of thy heart shall realized be-,
And this beautiful land seem an Eden to
thee!
Then come TO the South
The shrine of the sun,
And dwell in its bowers,
Sweet beautiful one!

Beware of the South, ye lovely and fair,
IT'S the land of the slave, It's the homo of
despair,
Where the shrieks Of wild anguish Tesonnd
through the sky,
And the groans of the bondmen pass con-
stantly by;
Where the wall of the slave-mothcr floats on
the breeze,
AS she bloeds meath the shade of the gold
fruited trees;
Where the smiles of the summer are turned
into woe,
And the beauties Of Eden with tears over
flow!
Beware Of the South,
The land Of the slave,
IT'S the ZONE of oppression
IT'S Liberty's grave!
Beware of the South, oh! accept not tho
home,
Where sorrow and sadness will fail not to
come;
Where the queenliko catalpa is stained with
the blood,
That flows meath the scourging of tyranny's
Where the oaths Of the tyrant are mingled all
day
With the notes of the songstor while chant
ing its lay;
And the fountains glad music is drowned in
the twang
By the drivers fierce whip, and the letters
loud clang!
Beware of the South
The land of the slave,
Where %tyranny's banners,
Triumphantly wave?
r-os. sc .Lo Coutb tbora tho LinIro1 j.,
heart,
Are severed for aye in the slavemonger's
mart;
And the glow of the Love-light that lumines
the soul
Is quenched by the curse of the %slaver's con-
troll!
Your beauty shall fade in that region of
night,
And the guilt of oppression your happiness
blight;
Each hope you have cherished shall fade like
a dream,
And existence float sadly down misery's
stream!
Beware of the South,
Ills a land in disguise,
Its hopes are decisions
Its promises, lies!
Beware Of the South-in an hour Of wrath,
A tempest shall rise on the Shareholders
path;
And a cloud, like a death-pall, shall s%ullenly
loom,
Enshrouding its beauty in sorrow and gloom;
And the pent-up destruction that's slumbering
there;
in the bosoms that vibrate tween hope and
despair,
Shall burst like an earthquake, and whelm
like a flood
Till its fires are quenched in a red sea of
blood!
Beware of the South
There is vengeance at hand
For the blood of the bondmen
That cries from her land!

SuGAR--A commercial computation puts the
whole production of the segar growing coun-
tries uf the world, in lS44, down at 77s,0O0
tons, o: which 600 Tons were furnished by
Cuba alone. In the following year Cuba produ.
ced only $4,000 Ions, but the increase from o.
ther sources was so great that the total product
amounted to 169 OcO tons, which was very little
short of that in lSi4. The consumption of su-
gar in the whole world is estime ted at 100000
tons, of which the United Kingdom consumes
about $4,000, the rest of Europe 425, ,000 the
United States of America, 10000, and Canada
and the other British colonies $4,000. The
growth of the United States does not exceed
100000 tons, for about two thirds of the con-
sumption, and the deficiency is supplied BY, MA

that some or all the factories in this town are

it is believed will be considerably cheaper than

port of foreign coal has fallen off, until but ve-
