lump Of sugar, and daily she supplied him
with fresh water.
But all Of a sudden the little bird began
to droop and one morning when Carolind
brenght him Watef he lay daad III thu
bottom of The cage. 1'heh The liitls gill
wept and lnmentec sorely over her favdrite;
80 the mother Of the maiden went out and
bought her another bird Of sill morS
beauteous plun,agc, and which sang even

1t in the cage.
The maiden, however, Wept only 20
much the more, when SHE teheId the new
bird-aher riotlief WJiidered much Mt sili1
and said: MY beloved child, where.
fore dost thou still weep and mourn ID
bitterly! Thy tears cannot recall thu
little bird to life, and here thou hast one
that is not less beautiful than the etifst
which thou hast lsst, "
Thefi answered The child, "Ah. deal

TRAGEDY AT North DANvERs-For some
little time past, the officers Of the Village Bank
in North Danvers, have suspected that an ATTEMPT
would shortly be made to rob that institution,
and accordingly employed Mr. Aaron Batelnan
as watchman Yesterday morning, at ,about
two o'clock, Mr.. Bateman heard some three or
four persons approach the Bank and try the door,
He hailed them and warned them to keep Of.
telling them that he was armed, and would fire
on them if they attempted to break in. They
persisted in their attempts On the door, rushing
against it as if to force it in, on which he took
up his gun and fred through one of the panes|
OF glass in the upper part of the door. lmmo-
diately on the discharge of the weapon the rob-
bers fled, and the Waterman was no more mo-
lested The noise of the gun awoke Mr.. John
Pagan old and highly respectable citizen, and
one OF the directors of the Bank, who lives hard
by, and he got up and went out to see what the
matter was. Finding all quiet, he returned.--
Having occasion, however, TO 90 out again at an
early hour before breakfast, he perceived human
form lying on the ground, nearly in front of his
house, which he discovered, on examination, to
be the body of his own son, John C.. Pare He
summoned his son-in-law, Mr.. Western, the
Cashier Of the Bank, and they conveyed the
body into the house. The sufferer was still
breathing, though insonsibe, but expired in a
few moments. His father and brother-in- law
ascertained that he was wounded, but supposed
that he had been stabbed in some chance affray,
as they then knew nothing of the affair at the
Bank ''." @"" v@s.rST a. 81. .apE. rr.F
Mr.. Bateman, likewise, was ignorant that his
shot had done any harm, for the bank door was
not opened till some hours afterwards in theI
morning When the watch was relieved, the !
story Of the attempted robbery was told, and id
soon became known that Page had heen killed.
in the night Of course everybody was con-
vinced that he was one of the gang and thatihe
fell by the watchmans bullet His accomplices
escaped in carriage, as is supposed but thereI
was rumor last evening that the police had Oh |
tanned some clue to them, and were on lheir|
track. z.,.,l, e.,,.. I'd. rl...... ...
The deceased was about forty-three years old |
He had formerly been briek-maker, did bus.
ness to large extent, aud bore a good char
acter. But he met with heavy losses, and fur
two or three years his habits had been very H. |
regular He returned to his fathers house not
long ago, having reformed, as the family fondly
hoped He had an aged mother, several brothers
and sisters, all Of whom, as well as the father
are in the deepest aflcton. Mr.. Page, the elder
is said to have provided literally for his son's
wants and comforts. A coroner's Jury was hel,
on the body yesterday afternoon, but their PRO
ceedings had hottrahspired When the latest dali
came up last evening. 4.'' '@HH'. -.@ 2"s

8 SOUTHERN RIGHTS MEETING ONE HUNDRED
GUNS FOR narrower PURSUANT to public no.
tice, meeting Of the citizens of Wilmington
and county Of New Hanover, N. G. assembled
at Masonic Hall, to take into consideration the
course necessary to be pursued by them i'll the
present aspect of national affairs. 80, ... a,...
hi The meeting was organized by appointing
Major Samuel r. Potter, Chairman !; and John
d. Bellau,y and o. G. Parsley, Secretaries. e..
On motion of G. J. McKee, the following reso-
lutious were submitted to the consideration of
the meeting and adopted. aa ..3 ata.@. G..'-
/. Resolued, That in the opinion of this meet
ing the repeal of the Fugitive slave law" or the
abolition OF slavery in the District Of Columbia
by the Federal Congress, will be such an indi-
cation of settled hostilites to the Southern insti
tutions, us to Justify and require as a measure
of imperative necessity and safety, the secession
Of the Southern States from the Union
2. Resolved, That in the pgesent aspect OF
public affairs, prudence and policy dictate that
Wings and Democrats, burying all party ami
mosties should rally around the standard OF
Southern Rights until it has become the emblem
of victory. ~. '"
8. Resolued, That in our opinion the war,
waged upon the South by Northern politicians,
does not spring from philanthropy orany honest
regard for slaves, but from n fixed and reckless
purpose to acquire political power and politica
nsceudency, even at the hazard of ruin to the
Southland the dissolution of the Union.
4. Resoired, That policy, particularly Mt this
time, requires that the Southern States should
take immediate steps to establish commercial
Marine, and such direct trade with Europe as
will render them independent of Northern mer.
chants, manufacturers and ship owners. ..
5. Resolred, That our thanks are eminently
due to the Hon. w. s. Ashe, of this district, II
L. Clingman, J. RI. Daniel and A. w, Venable
for their able and patriotic defence Of Southern
rights and pledge to them our cordial support.
6. On motion, it was further Resolved, That
committee of ten be appointed to consider and
determine the proper course to be pursued, in
order to carry out the 4th resolution as above
and that they report either through the public
press or otherYise as to them may seem best.

p, A REFLEcTIoN.-It is an argument with those
who attempt to frighten the people out Of the
idea of resistance, that when this Union shall
be once divided, there will be subdivisions until
this glorious Confederacy, cut up into petty
States, and distracted by intestine wars, will fall
to speedy ruin. History would, at the first
blush, seem to sanction such a prophecy, hut
there is element in the social and political Or
ganization of the South that must perpetually
defend her against such fate, Isolated from
all other nations by her peculiar institutions,
with the pressure of a hostile public opinion
bearing against her from all parts of the world,
a sense Of common danger would unite her in
bonds more stringent than ever bound a nation
together. The North may divide, and the West
may, for there is no common cause, or destiny,
or interest, to link them to each other; but the
South must ever remain unit, and in her unity
she will be resstess Amply powerful for her
own protection, she will be lett at liberty to en-
ploy her incalcuabe resources to the advance
of prosperity and glory that will have no
parallel in the history of the world.
