The Two UNCLES.

(Concluded.)
MIR. Clements had another silent ndmirer Ii
was no other than Mr.. Manners. He had been
watching his daushters countenance, and follow
ing the direction of her eyes, he could not help
sympaihizing with her enthusastice emotions
The freshness und sensibity of life's earlier days.
when her mother hung upon his arm young and
confiding bride, came back upon him. He forgot
the hurdenng lessons the world had taught him,
his pusanimous submission to his sisters arbltra-
ry sway-he was once more a man and father.
Drawing near her, he was about to tell her thnt
he had discovered her secret, and that she need
not fear his anger, when he saw Charles antici-
pate him. The young man bent down and talk
ed to her in low voice, and she answered him IN
the same tone. Moreover, there was express
sion in the young mans eyes very different from
what cousins are wont TO wear, and Lela's color
deepened and fitted and resolved at last into that
roseato hue, which is said to be emblematic of
something more than cousins love.
j must look to this thought Mr. Manners, she
is fine young fellow-but he is Too poor to think
of marrying. l wish he were Mr.. Banks son. for
Lela's sake
Tho father was once more merged in the man

home, telling her that he wanted her 10 see his
house and grounds-to show her in what style he
lived. She was to select building spot for his
son, who was to have an establishment equal to
| Aladin's palace-and that establishment, Ell
mira destined to preside. The gray, waver-
| ing light of dawn saw Aunt PhiIls still absorbed in
the contemplation of her future grandeur. She
| then sank into a kind Of extetic doze, in which che
beheld MIR. Banks gold knee buckles glitteirng Mt
| her feet, where he had prostrated himself, inthe
act ofsurrendering her his heart, his hand, and

The time drew neor for the departure of the
two uncles. Auut Phis and Elmira sc
much occupied in arranging their apparel for the
anticipated visit, they hnd leisure to notice the

A Friend.
How many lovely things we find

How many lovely things we find
In earth, and air, and sea-
The distant bells upon the wind,
The blossom on the tree;
But lovelier far than chime or flower,
A valued friend in sorrows hour.
Sweet is the carol of bird
When warbling on the spray,
And beautiful the moons pale beam
That lights US on our way;
Yet lovelier friendships look and word
Than moonlight or than warbling bird.
How priced the coral and the shell,
And valued, too, the pearl;
Who can The hidden treasures tell
Ger which the soft waves curl?
Yet dearest still friend to me
Than oil in earth, or air, or sea.

Nottingham be more unphilosophica than to be
positive ordogmatical on any subject; and even if
excessive sceptioism could be maintained it would
not be more destructive to all just reasoning nqui
ry. Where men are the most sure and arrogant
they are commonly the most mistaken, and have
there given reinsto passion, without that proper de-
liberation and suspense, which alone secure
them from the greatest absurdilies.

Ye Nimrod's iackeys, one and all,
Obey your honored "Masters;"
Ho to the rescue, lest they fall
In terrible disasters.
Their slaves have fed; they're on the trail;
Come, ply your nmbe trotters;
Fourfuoted bl0odhounds don't avail;
See, how the Union totters.
.Good Citizeus," ye are the boys,
Called to the hunting party;
Up! for tho legislative voice
Sanctions with edict hearty.
The law. tho doughty law commands
Then be not luwless traitors;
Up! for your chieftain needs all hands
For prompt and cheerful walters.
Haste! or The Union soon will sail
And burst like bombs and rockets;
And work. tie toll Of bondmen fail
To Ea0e4 southern pocketsi
Say would ye know what thrilling tone,
Shall waken feelings cheerful
Why, ye shall hear the sufferer groan,
Crushed down in bondage fearful.
Yen see big drops Of agony,
Roll down his aching forehead;
Chains roughly calling ye shall see,
That gripe with anguish horrid.
You may behold tho weeping wife,
Robbed of her dearest treasure;
Screaming, as if each nerve of life
We're tortured beyond measure!
Her denr ones orphaned not by death.
But by fiend more cruel,
With infant cries, and pleading breath,
May fire your joys with fuel!
Will not this ecene of utter woe,
Dripping with sorrows fearful,
Urge to the slave-hunt, friend or foe,
With footsteps light and cheerful
Can't grief and sighs and groans procure,
The aid of every freeman!
Come, for the sight I'm very sure
Might cheer the fowlest demonI
lftraitor conscience sting and qualm,
Steep it in Lethe's '.lickers:'
Deadened you'll hear no more therefrom,
Even though you murder ''niggers.
Do any fidget lest they fail
To join hunt so goryl
Vote officers upon the trail,
And you shall share the glory.
Do that, then viii the chnse be long,
And pushed with utmost vigor;
Votes manocle the bontiman strong.
Firmer than Sampson's vigor
For voters our brave Nirnrod sends!
They are the hunters needed;
Vote cheerfully for his true frienls,
Then will his voice be hooded.
Vote thus, and let fnnatcs Plod,
In vain their weak endeavor;
Slavery. with groans and tears and blood,
Will cheer our land forever. DAVID.

The MISSION TO FRANeE-WHo GOEs THERE
The latest report is that the mission to France
has been kindly placed at the disposal Of Hon.
Francis B. Cutting. and that he has partly made
up his mind to 60. This may be correct. The
other day, from very respectable authority in
deed-Gov. Cobb of Georgia being in town at
the time-we were informed that the trip to
France had been offered to him, and that he
would leave in the morning, post haste, for
Georgia, to consult his friends there upon the
subject. The impression among those here was
that if there was good democratic prospect for
the Georgia October elections Mr.. Cobb would
not accept the French mission, but would remain,
to be elected to the United States Senate. On
the other hand. it was thought that with slim
show for the hearty reunion of the Georgia de-
mocracy, Mr.. Cobb would conclude that the air
OF Paris will be beneficial to his health. This,
also, may be correct. Then, again, we learn
that Gen. Dix some days since sent on word to
Washington that he was ready, at any day, to
throw up the Sub Treasury and 60 to France,
in pursuance OF his appointment as Minister to
the Court Of st. Cloud. This, too, may be 80.
But are we to have three ministers to France
or, who goes there?
