1t seems as if danger was coeVal with Ills e"'
istenco. but Providence marked out his course
in continual triumphs. Danger and dIftlcul-
ties raised their huge fronts before him even
from his infancy. He possessessed the brave,
ry united with discretion, to overcome-ne n'o
the will to do, and the soul to dare. Despair
never threw its gloomy mantle over him-hope
was the sun whose rays banished all gloom
from his eyes, and lighted up his brow with
determination. We view him in the circles oi
domestic life actuated by the same unchangea-
BILE, lofty and generous feelings, g. do as you
would be done by" as we do at the head OF
his brave, gallant and patriotic regiment. Lux
urv. with its malicious influences, never existed
in his noble disposition. He and his gallant
little band feasted on the same food, slept un-
der the same covering, and conversed together
as brothers, fighting under the same banner
He was honored as n leader, respected rs
man, and loved as a friend His cunningness,
supportedby his honesty, was never outwltted.
We may follow his weddings in the swamps near
Charleston, or on the sandhills Of the Santee-.
he bears the standard of liberty with the same
intrepidity and supported his cunningness a
midst watchful and dexterous enemy. What
is too arduous for bravery? what too fatIsulnS
Tor liberty? Marion needed no pay to fight
for his country, and often did he refuse the wei
come recompense. After Drawing every peril
and difficulty, in order to release his country
from the chains of an oppressor, he retired in
to domestic life, and took to himself a partner
in all his actions. Wrapt in the embraces of an
amiable woman, enjoying the favor of coun'
try's benevolence he dreamed this part ofhis life
away in ease and harmony. His monument
is nations gratitude, his epitaph a nations
tears He fought, and the star of liberty has
arisen above palmetto tree, and the dove OF
peace is nesting in its boughs, W. W.

DARE TO STAND ALONE.
BY FRANCES G. GAG E.

BY FRANCES C. GAGE.
Be firm, be bold, be strong, be true,
sAnd dare to stand alone;'
Strive for the right what'er ye do,
Though helpers there be none.
Nay-bend not to the swelling surge,
Of popular sneer and wrong;
Twill bear thee OH to ruins verge,
With current wild and strong.
Stand for the right. Humanity
Implores, with groans and tears,
Thine aid to break the fostering links
That bind her toiling years
Stand for the right. Though falsehood rail-
And proud lips coldly sneer,
A poisoned arrow cannot wound
A conscience pure and clear.
Stand on the right, and with clean hands
Exalt the truth on high:
Thou'lt find warm, sympathlslng hearts
Among the passers BY.
Men who have seen and thought, and felt
Yet could not boldly dare
The battles brunt, but by thy side
Will every danger share.
Stand for the right; proclaim it loud,
Thou'lt find and answering tone
In honest hearts, and thou no more
Be doomed to stand alone.

wild gesture, she draws from her bosom
dagger, aud ere hand, in that astonished
crowd can arrest her purpose, the fatal blow Is
given, and with deep groan and heavy sound
her false lover sinks upon the floor corpse.
Kneeng beside him is the beautiful Annie, with
wild cries of anguish she calls upon his name,
while the revengful and blood.stained Clara,
gazed upon that awful scene with frantic JOY.
But hark that unearthv sound, that burst OF
maddening laughter; how strangely it rings
through those gorgeousy lighted halls OF mourn
ing and death. With desperate hands she tears
away her wreath and veil and struggles wildly
with those who attempted to hold her-trom
the hour she saw that red blood flow, she has
a raging and hopeless maniac.
Mental alienation is one Of the greatest
curses to which the human family is subject.
TO see the grasping intellect, which is great
enough to comprehend the universe" and hts
man to become the companion of angels; rising
maiestcally and ruling the very elements with
its power or soaring on the gilded wings oil
fancy, and revelling amid regions on which the
wild eagle, in its loffest flight, hath not gazed'
or peoplng worlds unknown with the bright
beings of its own creation. To see this mighty
mind hurled from its throne by some unseen
power-wrecked -darkcned forever-to see
this being glorying in mental superiority chan,
ged at once into raging maniac-the thought
makes the hearts blood run cold, and fills the
sensitive mind with unspeakable horror
Life still fingers, but where is the immortal
soul which is eventually to take up its abode
with its Maker9 Has it deserted its fra tene-
ment Of clay, and returned to Him from whom
it came? or does it "hovcr like star between
thes invisible world OF spirits and its earthly
home? In the body, animal life alone remains
life without thought; all memory OF the past
is botted out, and cold and still are the faculties
of that proud mind, which once SCARED above
the groyelling cares Of earth and scorned con-
troll.
Go to the lunatc asylum, and look into those
gloomy apartments, more terrible even than
the cold and silent chambers Of the dead
There is the senseless idiot and the raging ma.
MAC Hark, that shrek, which rings with start
ling wildness on the air-those incoherent
bursts of laughter, mingled with the dismal
clanking Of the iron chain; perchance that very
voice once echoed gaily in the festive halls OF
pleasure, charming every with its melody
and sweetness And that form now iettered
with cold iron, once glided lightly through the
mazes of the dance--that being from whom the
light of reason is fled forever-whosc mental
powers are paIsied by the dretul stroke fnad
ness, once cherished dreams as bright, and
hopes as high, and thoughts as proud as ours.
Madness is fearful mystery, and we can
but view lis awful effects, with feelings of Won
der and shrinking dread.

FRANCIS MARIONN.

"Resist unto blood" is doctrine which et-
ected to produce some of the greatest heroes
and patriots that struggled for bleeding hulnani'
ty during the American Revolution.
Blindness and bigotry shaded the sunny fields
of France, preventing the sun OF liberty from
shedding its rays Of bcnefcence upon some OF
its poor aud degraded inhabitants, during the
reign Of Louis XIV. Two terms were offered
the Jealous Huguenots or French Protestants,
exile or death. They chose the former alter
native, and sailed from their native shores with
the love Of Gcd burning in their hearts-where
love sheds its divine blessings, exile does not
exist. They cast last, lingering 81 lance at the
haunts Of their early associations and recol
le tions as the bark of the "mighty deep" rece
d,d from land, still relying on the God who
promised to bring Israel out of bondage into
land that floweth ith milk and honey. They
found a safe and grateful asylum from the foul
spirit of persecution and the revengetul hand
of an oppressor in the fruitful and peaceful
district of South Carolina. No hurricane OF
oppression ever devastated their possessions,
but the gentle gales and mild zephyrs of ber
ty cooled their aching heads, and made them
think Alright. Here mighty Truth, supported
by the staff of Hope walked abroad, acknowl,
edgng no superior, but reigning supreme in
every heart Here the cup Of salvation was
administered to no selected few, but to all who
wished to partake Of its sweetness
Among these bold and jealous cavaliers
religion and freedom, the name Of Marion is
inscribed, the grand father OF the hero and pa
triot, General Francis Marion. The name
reverberates and echoes in every freeman's
heart with emotions of praise and feelings OF
grandeur. 1t is true, he did not figure very
largely in the colonization, but as far as we
are able to learn, and judge, he was pure
christian, and devoted husband-two of the
brightest ornaments that adorn the character
of true and good man. Hence, it has been
shown that Francis Marion was descended
from no vagabond, but from noble and gen.
erous family. Wealth had not been protuse
in her donations, but poverty with patience is
far superior True nobility requires not wealth
to eevate.itseif, but virtue alone is able to ex'
alt it unto the skies.
Puny, sickly and consumptive in childhood
little did his relations think that in the course
of time, he would approach the din Of war and
fight for the rights of man-lttle did they
think that tie generation now living would re-
fer to him as the brightest star that shines in
the armament of religious and political freedom

Emig,u'ion- Europe is pouring her sur.
plus population upon our shores Iuto the port
Of New York alone, for the quarter ending
the Both of September last there arrived the
aggregate OF cighty.fuur thousand eight hum
dred and three immigrants, from foreign ports.
This would give considerable over quarter
of million u year for the single port of New
York, and not less than four hundred thousand
for the whole country. In ten years this influx
will give total increase to the population Of
four millions of souls, exclusive of their issue.
This estimate, however. will probably fall far
short of the actual result. Emigration to the
United States. from Europe, on large scale,
is just beginning. Ireland by this agency, is
in rapid process absolute depopulation. Ger
many ranks next in order; and, during the
next five years, from the aspect of affairs upon
the Continent, we may anticipate the peaceful
invasion Of thousands upon thousands, Of all
of the nationaliies, and races and tribes from
the ElDe to the Dan, and from the Seine to the
Danube. And the best Of it is, the great body
Of these emigrants become at once active pro.
ducers of the wealth and resources of the coun-
try. Our railroads and canals are SO many
monuments of Irish and German industry.
What is to be the effect of this continuous
stream from Europe, upon all the various
branches of home industry-what the effect in
shaping out the future foreign policy OF the
observation-disclosures the most interesting
tions of philosophical enquiry. But we have
room enough, and bread enough, and haPpi'
ness and liberty enough, to share them with
the industrious that have come or may come.
Let them come.-N Y. Herald.
