POET Il Y
FOR rnr srEcTAT TOR.
FAIRLY LOVE.


Tbcr met-and none were nigh but deemed
They met as friends, endeared Of yore;
So frank ach careless aspect seemed
With mutual greetings gladdening o'er'
Their hands were joined. as ii TO hold
In welcome grasp, each other near;
And seyering. left no blush that toiu
OF more than usual pressure there.
They smiled-you would have thought the smile
But some kind impulse from the heart;
Sprnging spontaneous, thence, the whhe
IL passing pleasure to impart'
They spoke-there was no faltering word
That wavered from IFS proper tone;
No accent where a note was heard
That common parlance might not own
They walked the garden fresh with howero;
They gathered roses from their stem;
They talked OF birds, and shrubs, aud bowers,
And only seemed to think OF them.
And vet time was when others looks,
Or words, or smiles, or hands embraced;
Or flowers exchanged, were Sibyl books,
Where both their ondest wishes traced
But thus it is that envious age
Denies 10 Love, ali outward sign;
Blotting as 'twere, the glowing page
Where once he shone IN every line'
Was Love still there hidden guest;
A captive in some secret celis
A traitor, trembling in the breast,
That dared not OF existence tell!
Was Love still there? oh had he LETT
The lips, the eyes, the cheek, the brow
OF all his tell tale traits bereit,-
The heart his only refuge now!
Saw. was he there? Had years of pain,
OF sorrow, Joy, ambition. pride,
S,ript him Of all this fair domain,
Ia hopeless exile there to hide?
Or is he like that my site iount
That hid its cure Mt deep III earth,
But shone, whene'er it dared TO mount,
As brigh, and pure as at its birth!

eERtIAn WATERING PLACES

A European correspondent of the St. Lou
is Republican, speaking OF the German wa
terlng places, says
You are aware that the fashionable occu.
patton, Il cannot call it amusement OF an
the watering places of Europe, is gambling.
The enormous sums which are yearly lost
and won at Wfesbaden, Baden. Carlesrhue,
and other gay resorts, would positively
frighten many of your grave stay at home
readers. Of course, a great number OF what
the French call misfortunes, but which we
should cali crimes, are the consequence Oh
this high playing. Only last week at Car
lesrbue. Tissard man who has repeatedly
won hundred thousand dollars in nignf,
blew out his brains because ne had q run
of ill luck, which if it did not rum him nc
thought would disIonor him. His adverse
nv was lady, German Countess. They
had played thirty-one hours without stop
ping, except once to take cup OF coffee:-
rissard lost every time; at last when the
lady won from him nearly four hundred
thousand francs, he arose from the taoie,
and in the camcst possible manner asked
her to excuse him moment. The lazy
bowed, and Tissard left the room. HIS
companion and adversary waited m vain
for him to come back, and finally sent
servant to see what was the matter. The
door of the gamblers room was locked, and
after repeatedly knocking, the servant DC,
CAME alarmed and called the landlord, and
the door was broken open.
There lay Tissard on the floor, with
bullet hole through his heart and apistol by
his side. On the table near him was a. let.
ter envelope addressed to the Countess, ana
containing in bank bills, the money she had
won from him. 1t is said, bat don't vouch
for The truth of it, that the remark OF the
Countess when she heard of this suicide OF
the noted gambler, was, swell, at least, ne
might have told me he was never coming
back, and not have kept me waiting here
so long |" Such is the fashionable world.
All the finer emotions of the heart become
absorbed in the selfshness and indifference
which pervade high society. sJust SO Ma
dame de Sevigna tells us with regard to
Vatel, the Duke of Orleans unfortunate
cook. The royal dinner passed off that
day as if nothing had happened, and the
guests spoke of Vatel as they slipped their
wine and laughed and joked aoout bis sad
end.
The frcquenters of the gambling table Of
Badsn-Baden, had their annual incident
last week also. A Russian, Prince Boubeg-
hir, broke the bank two days in succession,
a thing which has not occurred for several
wears. The Prince began by stalking Lou
is Dor, and in ten passes broke the bank,
gaining from 1870 to 10000 francs. The
Saloon was Immediately evacuated; half an
hour afterwards the doors were again OPEN
ed. The next day the Prince again broke
the bank, winning about $4,000. One Of
his adversaries lost $4,000 francs. Tbs
next day the Prince gave dinner to his
friends, which cost him about 1000 francs,
and the next left for Wisebaden, declaring
his intention OF breaking the bank there al-

THE HUNGARIAN ExILEs.-A Scene on
board the .Mississ,ppi.-The scene on board
of the United States frigate Mississippi,
when the illustrious Kossuth, with his fel.
low exiles, came on board, is represented
to have been impressive in the, extreme
The officers of the ship, together with the
tender hearted Jack tars, Immediately FORM
ed circle around the distinguished stran-
gers. not to cape and stare at them, but to
show by their looks and their presence and
emotion, how heartfelt and warm was their
welcome to the protection OF the American
Republic. A letter from ConstantinoPle
says: :.
with tears streaming down his eyes;
and intonations of voice expressing the
deepest feeling, he uttered few sentiments
announcing his Joy at finding himself under
the protection of the glorious stripes and
stars of the freest nation in the world. Cap
tain Long, who had already addressed Gov.
K. once on board the Turkish frisate, be-
gan again to speak in answer, but his boz
som swelled loo much with emotion. Fears
stood in his eyes and In the eyes Of all the
officers and men, and his speech was limit
ed to saying, Sir, you are three cheers
for Gov. Kossuthp When this order had
been heartily responded 10, still Captain
Long, in his JOY and sympathy, could add
nothing better than Three cheers more for
Gov. Kossuth ="
We are glad TO learn that not only Kos
suth himself, but his family, and, indeed,
the whole party, were in excellent health,
when last heard from. Only one adult per-
SON had deceased during their residence at
Kutahia. Madame Wagner, exhausted by
her fatigucs, exposures and alarms, dGrfhy
her two successive attempts TO rescue Mad
anne Kossuth from the power of Austria
There is no certainty as to the time Kossuth
may be looked for in this country. The
Mississippi takes him to Southampton first,
but his stay in England is not likely to be
very prolonged. He may be looked for a.
bout the middle of November:

7,US AND JOURNALS.

The Laws and Journals of the last session OIL 'ne
Assembly have been printed, and the secretary OF
S,ote is now engaged in sending them OFT as rapidly
-. possible to the respective Counties.
NJ blame can be justly attached to any one for the
delav. The Laws occupy some $50 pages making
,e $50 pages more than those of the previous ses-
sion and the Journals occupy 1859 pages making
Snt 9oo pages more than those of the previous ses-
NJ course, it has taken more time to print these
.,rks than was consumed in 1s49; and in addition
~ his nv law of the last session, a considerable
s,,rnher If the Law volumes directed to bound
Tbs has also prolonged the delivery of these doeu
,o,ts We have but Book-binder here, (Mr.
noC.rteret) and he has been engaged night and day.
f,- some time past, in getting these works ready for
delivery.
We know that the Secretary of State has exerted
himself to have the Laws and Journals sent off at the
rIisst moment possible; and feel sure that he is
ante as anxious to get them out of his hands and thus
DISCHARGE his Duty as the Magistrates, Members of
the Assembly, and Clerks are to receive them.
North Carolina standard. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1850-1852, 1851-05-31
CLOSING THE STORES AT NIGHT.

We observe that the Merchants in Norfolk and Will
mington making arrangements for closing their
Stores at night, during the Summer months, as to
give to their Clerks opportunity for relaxation
recreation, and for improving their minds. We like
the idea, and hope our Merchants will take the
matter into consideration and agree upon SINH
lar plan. In the Summer, the Clerk rises at five
O'Clock and opens the Store. He is engaged from
that hour seven-twelve hours-his mind and body
both constantly exercised, and that too during the
very hottest period of the year. Are not these twelve
hours sufficient for all business purposes Could not
some arrangement be made by which all would close
at the same hour9
The Merchants and the Clerks are both interested
in this maer-indeed their interests and their duties
are inseparable. A good and honest Clerk will
take as much pains to advance his employers bust
ness as he would his own; and to such Clerk
great deal is due from the employer, not merely In
dollars and for his services, but in Kindness
!iberaty, and opportunities for improvement and re-
creation. Labor is doom, imposed upon us by the
Creator; but it is a blessing in disguise. Labor we
must, but not necessarily. The human frame and
mind, like machine, must have rest, else the
mere friction and heat will wear them out.
In this place, as well as in most of the inland towns
of the Sate the Merchant generally shares the labors
of the Clerk, remaining in the Store as long as the
latter, and applying himself closely, if not more
to matters Of business. Would it be better for
both if the Stores were shut up dark in the Sum-
mer months, so that the Merchant could devote the
evening hours 20 his family and friends, while the
Clerk could either refresh his spirits by walk,
improve his mind by reading and general converse
ton, or refine himself by visiting the gentler sex?
We feel confident that nothing would be lost, even
in dollars and cents, by such plan, while both the
employer and the Clerk would be benefited by it in
body and mind. We trust some plan of the sort may
be adopted; and trust, also that one will charge
US with interfering with matters that do not concern
u.s. The rights and duties of the Press are as wide
as society, and deep the law can run-that is,
from the surface the CENTRE and from the centre
up, Indefinitely but refer to this subject in the
spirit of friend to both classes, and with not
the slightest disposition to array one against the
other.

INCENDIARY DOCUMENTS.

1t will be seen, by the following from the last
North Carolina Democrat, that the Abolition enemy
is at work in our very midst:
ABOLITION DOCUMENTS. We learn from undoubt-
ed authority that citizen of Alamance county by
the name of Stafford, the same who if mistake
not figured the Freesoil Electoral Ticket, in l848,
has furnished an Abolition member of Congress with
list of the names of persons in this and the ad Join.
ing counties to whom he desired very Publi-
cations to be SENT and that the Posofices In the
Southern part of the county filled at this time
with incendiary documents kindly furnished to our
people by his Abolition Excellency Gov. Cleave-
land. And yet craven submissonisIs talk of peace,
extol the beauties of the compromise, and denounce
agtators, disunionsts and traitors all who dare to
warn the South of approaching danger. Here We
have an enemy in our midst scattering FIRE brands
and poisonous arrows. Here we have the frogs of
Egypt crawling up to our very chambers and into
our most secret and sacred places, and yet we are
told that it is fanacal to complain and that he who
talks of resistance deserves hempen cravat and a
platform of air to stand upon. Shame upon such de-
generate sons of revolutionary slres -
This fellow Stafford ought to be required to change
his conduct in this respect Immediately, leave the
country. If his /" conscience" will not permit him to
reside in s!avehoding country without interfering
with the relation of master and slave by circulating
Freesoil documents, he ought to depart hence" to
some more congenial cline.
We are gratiied to perceive that the people of old
Guiford have taken this Abolition matter into their
own hands, so far as they concerned; and that
they determined from this time forth that such
fellows as Mcbride and Crooks shall be tolerated in
their midst. We give them credit for this action on
their part though they have delayed it, think
unwisely, for time. 1t is never too late, how
ever TO DO good. Three cheers for old Guilord, and
strong collar of hemp for all fanatics and Abolition
isis!

that Col. John W. Forney is to be the Democratic
candidate for Clerk of the House of Representatives
at Washington, the ensuing session of Congress,
and there does not seem to be shadow of doubt Of
his success.
Within the limits of this broad Union, we know of
no man better entitled this honor than Col For
ney. When the storm Of Abolition fanaticsm threat
ened to sweep the whole north, as with bosom of
destruction, and many of our leaders ready to
Weld to its influence he was the first stand in
defense of the true principles of the Constitution and
help to stay the that was bearing everything
before it. Now that the danger has well nigh passed
by, all the wisdom of his course; all admit
the service he has rendered his country, and we
trust the National Democracy will unite as one man,
in comforting upon gifted fellow craftsman this
honorable and important position.

COMMENCEMENT.

We are grat6ed to learn that there is good pros
meet of large attendance at The approaching Com
mencement at Chapel Hill.
We learn that the new ASSEMBLY Room " will
be ready for use on this OCCASION which must add in
great degree, to the general comfort and enjoyment
This room is ninety by thrtyfve feet and is said to
be by far the best room for the purpose to which it is
appropriated, in the State.
Our University is constantly gaining upon the pub
lie reoards The number of its students has been for
some time on the increase; and We satisfied that
those who are sent for training and instruction,
are as we'll and thoroughly instructed they could

success is the best test of its merits.

FIRE /!

About daylight on yesterday morning our citizens
were aroused by the cry of fire. 1t had caught the
smoke-house of Mr.. John G. Moore, on Fayetteville
Street, and was quickly communicated to his kitch-
en-; but by great exertions The dwelling and con-
tiguous buildings saved. The morning was
calm, and to this fortunate circumstance it is doubt
less owing that several fine residences in the i'm
mediate vicinity, were not consumed.
AIR. Moore lost his bacon and most of his family
PROVISIONS which were in the smoke-house but saw
ed his kitchen and household furniture. The fire &C.
cured on the premises belonging to the Hopkins
estate.
There seems to be no doubt that the fire was the
work Of an iucendiary.
