THE ADDRESS OF SOUTHERN MEMBERS

3O'h ult speaking ofthis address. says-"We
ask the attention of our readers to The Address
of the southern delegates in Congress 10 their
Constituents which we this day publish. 1t is
rnmorcd to have been drawn mp by Mr.. Cal.
houn. From what has been said of It in ad.
vance, we were prepared TO find it overheated,
ifno deliberately offensive to the North. But
we do not. On the contrary, it is calm, clear
exposition of The grievances Of which the South
complain, and we are compelled to say, with
two much reason. 1t offers no threats, but
simply calls upon the South to consider what
ought to he done. 1t proposes nothing but
vniied action on the part Of the South. without
indicating what that action ought to be. We
trust this Address will he extensively published
and read at the North, and that candid men
who have been led away by the abolition ex.
clement, will pause and reflect. 1t is not yet
too late to save the country from ruin, but it
soon may be. Now is the time 10 determine
whether we will sacrifice the Union, or preserve

CHARIrY.-Night kissed the young rose, and it
bent softly to sleep. Stars shone, and pure dew
drops hung upon its blushng bosom, and watched
Its sweet slumbers. Morning came, with her dang
ing breezes, and they whispered to the young rose,
and it awoke joyous and smiling. Lightly it dane
ed to and fro in all the loneliness of health and
youthful innocence. Then came the ardent SIM
god, sweeping from the east and he snote the Young
rose with his scorching rays, and it tainted De-
serted and almost heart-broken, it dropped TO the
dust in It's loneliness and despair. Now the gentle
breeze, which had been gamboling over The sea,
pushing on the home bound bark, sweeping over
hill and dae-by the neat cottage and the still brook
turning the old mill, tanning the fevered brow of
disease, and irSking the chris of innocent childhood
came tripping along on her errands of mercy and
love; and when she saw the young rose, she hast
ened to kiss it, and fondly Sathed its forehead in
cool, refreshing showers, and the young rose reyy
ed, and looked up and smiled in gratitude to the
KIND breeze; but she hurried quickly away: her
generous task was performed, We, not without re-
ward; for she soon perceived that delicious fra
GRANGE had been poured on her wings b. the crate
iu rose; and the kind breeze was glad in heart and
went away singing through the trees. Thus true
Charity, like the breeze. gathers fragrance from tho
dropping flower it rcrcshes and unconsciously reaps
reward in the performance of its Offices OF kind
ness, which steals the heart like rich perfume, to
bless and TO cheer.

WoMAN's AGE.-!t is well known that ladies'.
particularly single ladies, after they have arrived at
certain age, become stationary as it regards wears
50 that in reality they no older at than
ihey are at twenty eight. But why thisis So does
not occur to every one and certainly we were igno-
rant OF the cause until very lately when we learned
mat the ancient writers assert with great bodness
that Eve was Just sixteen years old when she was
awakened by the side of her husband From that
PERIOD then, she, Of course commenced counting her
years, 50 that she would be forty years old when she
acknowledged herself twenty four. and so on Now
WIN THIS maternal example before them after they
nave arrived al marrageble age-for like Eve.
they arrived at that as soon as possibIe-they adj
vance very slowly and finally drop sixteen years.
"A handsome lady of fifty, therefore, can never be
any more than thirty and even ifsome enYious hag
Should assert the contrary, you would not believe
word she said. With this view of the subject the
mystery Is cleared up; for certainly it was a mystic
ry TO us why some ladies', whose names we forbear
to mention. should give iherage5 for ten or twelve
years in succession as "tweniy-six" and "twenty-
eight" But here it is all plain and right. Eve
did SO, and her daughters have an undoubled right
TO follow her example 70 the end of time. Sec

CHOLERA AT BANooR.-A Correspondent of the
Boston Courier writing from Bangor, Me-, under
date of Sept. 9Th, says
Contrary to the hopes and expectations Of our
citizens the cholera has visited this place. and.
strange to say, already, during three weeks Of it's
continuance, has nearly half depopulated the city
Only l25 or 100 have died but great numbers
nearly one-third Of The population left Bar
gor, fleeing panic stricken, in all directions, AS
though death could find them nowhere save in their
own houses Country cousins and old acquaintan-
that have not been thought of for years. are now
suddenly and affectionately remembered. Whole
families start off TO quarter themselves some re-
aton or friend, to whom, aside from the apprehen-
sion Of possible infections their visit must often be az
inconvenient and unwelcome as il is unexpected
Though the deaths have not averaged more than
seven eight day in the city, yet most extrava-
gan: stories in regard to it circulating through
the country. 1t is no; unusual TO hear i'm the neigh
boring towns that there have been forty or fifty ca
ses or deaths here in day. But few country peo-
pie dare come in with their produce, of which we
are in much need, and we know there is an abund-
| ant supply. Occasionally, however, some one is
seen lowering around the outskirts Of the city, APP
parently expecting to see the cholera, like some
huge monster, pouncng down upon the devoted in
| habllants.

POETRY Y.
FOR THE SPECTATOR .
SUNBEAMS.

VERY RESPECTFULLY INSCRIBED TO HER.
Thousands who tread our spacious earth
Unfecling souls, by right of birth
Can no blemishcs which mar
The beauty of this Heaven cursed star.
There is no spot where man has been,
But bears the marks of fragrant sin:
And all the hours that DER roll,
Witness the foulness Of the soul.
Though may love our earth thus cursed,
And revcl in its shining dust,
Yet Senseiess things-purc, holy, bright
Scorn its fell woe and crime and blight.
The Sunbcams darling from on high,
Leaving their bright homes in the sky,
Run DER this globe their daily race,
Seeking pure, fit resting place.
They touch the summit OF the hill,
They struggle on the quivcring rill,
And writhc upon tho sutry plain
Like Mermaids stranded by the main.
Myriads of these kindred rays
Form one great pyramid of blaze:
And swift as thought, their course they trace
Through deepest shades of boundless space.
They weave the Rainbow wreath with flowers,
Which III the clouds-thcir watery bowers
Bloom fresh TO deck the Tempcst's brow,
When he recalls the delugc-yow.
tSuic us kiHuhcss prompts tncSc DcanS
TO grace our valleys, hills and streams,
Though mans ungrateful, sensclcss heart,
Might almost force them TO depart.
Some holy spot, from guilt refined,
They've sought in vain on earth to find,
Since Time began, increasingly,
The prelude TO Eternity.
Go then, swift messengers of light
Why stay to chase each flce,ing night,
TO you no resting place is given,
Leave this vile carth-rcturn to Heaven!
Go seek our friends who are gone above;
Remind them Of our earthly love;
And when their knees in worship bend,
To their bright crowns your glory lend.
There Love and Joy together roam
There you will find your native home
There minglc with the rays that fly,
And trcmble round the throne high!

as if the town had been burned down. As is usual
