The Illusions of Life.

How little men are disposed to be content
with the real and practical pleasures, pur-
suits and purposes of life. The permanent
and substantial enjoyment erivedfrom hon
est industry, are readily cast aside for the
dubious and unsubstantial ~anticipations of
some chimerical dreamer. The quiet COM
forts and pleasures of home, family and
friends are all abandoned for the uncertain.
doubtful and hazardous adventure after goId
and the imagined pleasurable realities twill
purchase. Peace and plenty smile upon us
on the soil bequeathed to us by our fathers
and hallowed by every association that soft
ems and refnes the heart, but they are aban-
doned for strange lands and stranger faces
who have none of the strong heart warnings
and tender affections from which we have
ruthlessly torn ourselves away. But when
we wake from our gilded dreams of unreal
ties how bitter are our regrets-how disap-
pointed those brilliant hopes and prospects
that lured US astray by their dazzling deceit
fulness.
Some one has remarkedthat realities never
content US. The present is probably as fine
a valley as there is in the whole region of
life. But the woods are nothing but woods.
shady it is true, and green, but quite ordina-
~. The streams are excellent, but we would
have beds of pearl in place of those deceitful
pebbles. ALI there must be woods and
sweeter dreams beyond the blue hill yonder.
30 we travel, but the soft and dreamy future
becomes plain and hard reality as we pro
coed. Those very rocks we tread oncelooked
lovely under the warm haze ofhope: so shall
the charm of the goodly heights before us,
melt away, and show US, as we climb, Just
such lodges, gnarled oaks, chasms, morasses,
wild pines and barren slopes as we have
passed.

Congress.

Incorporating session Of Congress, which
will commence on next Monday, will be an
important one and we anticipate some stor-
my debates. The abolitionists will no doubt
make an effort to repeal the Nebraska-Kan-
sas bill, so far as relates to the Missouri
Compromise, and probably the fugitive slave
law. Either movement will produce excite
ment, and a condition of things by no means
desirable. The South will never permit the
fugitive slave law to be repealed and we
hope that the Union will not be ieoparded
by the attempt. We hope that the next will
be a working Congress, and that months of
the session will not be spent, as is usual, in
idle debates.
In respect to our foreign relations, we do
not anticipate that there will be much occa-
sion for Congressional action. We do not
apprehend that the amicable relations which
exist between our country and other nations
will be interrupted. Whatever trifing diff
f~erences may exist can be easily adjusted
without the intervention of Congress.

Hard Times.

This unmerciful, unrelenting old Tyrant
stalks abroad in our community, to the utter
horror and dismay mot to say ruin to some)
of our citizens. We learn that upwards of
sixty judgments were obtained last week, at
our County Court and the end is not yet
and who can tell what and when it will be.
We have heard of not a few taking consola-
~ +hn Srorerb-" Blessed ara they
WIN a'o no'iA for it shall not be taken
away"
Bnt, seriously, the present alarming hard
times should admonish all as to the necessi-
ty of frugality and economy, if, indeed, the
neglect of these essential domestic virtues
have not already brought entire ruin upon
them. Reckless extravaganza has ruined not
a few in our midst and in their fall, they
have carried with them others who were
honestly and economically striving to main.
tain their integrity and credit. 1t is a pity
that the im%prudent should involve in theil
overthrow those who by care and industry il
their own affairs deserve a better fate. Bu-
so it is: communities and common interest,
are so blended and intermingled, that whe1
one suffers nearly all others feel the shock
These things should not destroy mems con
idence in one another, but it certainly shout,
induce those in business relations so to con
duct their affairs that the innocent and un
suspecting should not be made to sufe
through them.
The present crisis in affairs ought to teacl
us all lessons of wisdom-but in the futur
as IN the past, we will forget it all when tn
sunshine of prosperity returns and simiIa
causes will again bring on like events. G
it old Hard Times-you are ruling Priest tc

The Sabbath.

Sweet day Of rest The morning sun
rises over a hushed and quiet world pas
impulses are Gained; thoughts and
longings Of business-racked minds have re-
Taxed their intensity, and the hand Of in
dustry hath ceased to WELD the implement
Of labor. The hayward child Of fashion
awakes to thought and reflection, while
from the retrospect comes the memory OF
early lessons, gentle teachings and holy
counsels, which were given by loved lips,
perhaps long since clothed in eternal 81
Ience, to be faithful guides in future years;
but which were forgotten and deserted IN
the pursuit Of seeming pleasure, which,
rose, with it's exposed skeleton hands
stretched upon distorted minds, phantoms
that glare hours Of agony in moments, and
will not vanish. The peaceful home, the
simple song, the smiling children, the
guiltless sport-joys which once formed a
paradise-hat paradise, like the first, de-
serted, swells out before them as a mockery
of their present woe and discomfort, while
tears and tremblings follow the threaten
ings which probe the memory with ruth
!. less hand.
The votaries of ambition, who have been
hurried on by a thousand novelties, occu-
pied in chasing shades which elude instant
5 ly their grasp, dazzled by the prospect of
ever retreating with happiness to her haunts
: of beauty and pure wisdom, which shine
i in undying brightness over a mind conten-
7 ted with, and thankful for that which a
Divine Creator has allotted him, find IN
y to the troubled conscience. Thoughts are
to them ever like the threatening thunder
cloud, pregnant with destruction and ayen-
ging wrath-the tempest which envelopes
W them in gloom and dashes from their Wis
= ion that pure sky, the sky of faith, which
y we must ever behold or else despond.
But, there are others, to whom memory
is a beautiful, calm armament of stars
lie twinkling hope and thought, like the glo
Sc rious ray Of moonlight dancing over the
s. expanse of waters, on which the bark O
II life gently rides. To them, the holy da!
ed Of rest and thought comes as a glad mes
u senger, with sweet, seraphic inspirations
ny for it approaches like an universal being
n delivering c~aptives from the bod Of bon
d, dage, striking off the chains in which tn
spirit is bound, and finds their struggle
1T nobler, purer and more advanced in tn
ne paths which lead to eternal peace. Wit
ed them, the images which thought sketche
re upon the canvass Of memory, are brigh
es- promises, which cause the heart to thro
in with happiness. To them, the deeds of
tn we'll spent life come back, giving the hue
Get Of hope to the future, and forming the out
lines of holy promises, which are just t

Ia We are CHAD 10 learn, as a matter of
credit to the taste and good sense of our citi-
zens, that the Circus rowdies, who were here
last week were but indiffereDtly patronized.
So may it ever be, and every where. The
stale and vulgar witticisms of their clowns,
the indecorous feats of finer and women. usual
at such places, can afford but poor entertain
ment or amusement to a sensitive, intelligent
man; and how a lady can take pleasure in
visiting such places, is a matter of vast as

The SoUALL BLOWN OvER.-It would ap-
pear (says the Wilmington Herald) that the
trouble between England and this country,
which for a brief space doomed up into quite
a war-like significance, has passed away
The Washington Union, the organ Of the
Administration, states that upon the receipt
of the intelligence by the Asia of the inten-
ton of the British government as to the con-
templated despatch Of a considerable naval
squadron to the American waters, the Secre-
tary of the Navy, although unable to believe
that that squadron had any hostile object,
yet as it bore the appearance, at least, Of
menace, concluded, in the spirit Of wise and
just regard for the public interest, to with
hold, for the moment, Instructions to Com
modore Paulding, thecommander of the home
squadron.
The official intelligence received from LON
don by the Pacific, gives assurance to our
government that the proposed British naraL
expedition has no reference to Central Ameri-
can matters, nor IN any respect a purpose I'M
friendly to this country. In consequence of
this, Commodore Paulding will proceed to
the coast of Nicaragua with only one ship,
the Potomac, and in charge only of the gen.
eral concerns of the United States in that
quarter.

70 CoRREsPoNDENTs.-Iti is contrary to our prin-
to publish the "Bacchanalian Song" of an
es05r1~leaHespa-dent. When the writer shall
have lived as long is we hevs-~ think as We
do, that the press should restrain rather than e.
courage the "flling up Of the wine cup" by throw
ing over it the attraction of poetry and song-Fdy-
etteUiHe Observer.
We copy the above as a credit to the gen
tlemanly Editors of the Observer, for the high
moral position they have taken in thus rebuk-
ing the dangerous Establishments thrown a
round the wine cup by calling to its aid the
sublime recommendations of Poesy. In the
darker ages, when Burns and Moore invoked
the inspired Muse to commemorate the was
sailings of "clubs' and "jolly fellows" i
might have been tolerated but the perniciou
influences of their Bacchanalian Songs hav
travelled down the stream of time and burne
and blighted many a gifted genius, ever
year since their publication.
Thousands who never appreciated th
beauties of Burns "Cotter's Saturday Night,
have roistered in drunken revelry over h
g Souter Johny"-and Tom Moore's song
" Fill to the brim," has been sung by tho1
sands who never read his "Lalla Rookh,"
knew he was the author of the beautiful poe
{" There's nothing true but Heaven"
true is it that
"The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft inferred with their bones"
We hope the young author of the Baccf
nalian Song referred to by the Observ'
will profit by the wholesome and kindly
buke administered, and IN his Tyre t
subject worthy of his muse.

What is Pleasing.

1t is pleasing to see a woman treading
the pathway of life, discarding neither its
sunshine nor It's storms-but keeping ever
on in the path of straightforward holiness
and duty, neither turning to the right nor
to the left, and utterly regardless of all but
the right, and for that, sacrificing every
pleasure and enjoyment. What is more
praiseworthyand noble inthe annals of his
torical worthiness than a true-hearted wo-
man? What is more entitled to the re-
CARDS of men, and to their love T? thar a
true woman? There are women, who from
their cradles to their graves, lead lives of
unspotted purity, and religious holiness,
though the world may not be aware of the
fact; they live and die heroines of endu-
rance. Though they receive no praises
from men-no reward in this cold selfish
world, their recompense in the world to
come shall be a thousand fold, their place
beside the brightest angels. Let this COM
forting assurance go home to the hearts of
those who may feel inclined to permit a
spirit Of dependency to creep over their
isolated hearts-let them but "hold out
faithful to the end" and their reward shall
be great. 5
