Adieu, dear Girl, though now Apart.

Adieu, dear girl; though now apart
My spirit fondly turns to thee;
Thy memory's shrined within my heart
As none again can ever be;
And though long years may pass away,
Ere we perhaps shall meet again,
Let time and absence only serve
To brighten friendships golden chain.
And think of me, when dewy morn
Invites thy wandering steps abroad.
When tuneful warblers softly, breathe
Their anthems to creation,s Lord.
And when the pale sweet sfar of eve -
Wakes memories of the pAstto thee,
That's treasured in thy "heaft's deep urn,"
Then, lady, dear, remember me.
For oft, sweet one, shall recall
Each gentle look and tone of thine;
Like '.voices of the past" they'll wske
Sad echoes in this heart Of mine,
Where bitter thoughts are welling up,
Grisf's chalice ever brimning o'er,
And soul-subiuing tears that still
My blighted hopes and joys deplore.
Although mingle with thu gay,
And strive to wear smiling brow,
For one SO chasten'd and deceived,
Earth has few drops Of pleasure now.
And when this weary form shall rest,
From all life's cares and sorrows free,
within thy gentle breast,
Sweet lady, let my memory be.

Let's Sit Down and Talk Together.

ACe C1s UV"u &AAU AN AVSCtuC
Let's sit down and talk together
OF the things of olden day.
When We like lambkins loosed from tsther,
Gaily tripp'd along theway. -
Time has touch'd US both with lightness,
Leaving furrows here and there,
And tinging with peculiar brightness
Silvery threads among our hair.
Let's sit down and talk together;
Many years away have passed,
And fair and foul has been the weather
Since we saw each other last.
Many whom we loved are living
In better world than this; 1-..
And some among Us still are giving
Toll and thought for present bliss.
Lets sit down and talk together; f .
Though the flowers of youth are dead,
The ferns still grow among the heather,
And for us their fragrance shed.
Life has thousand blessings in it,
Even for the aged man;
And GoD has hid in every minute - sl
Something we may wisely scans
Let's sit down and talk together; s''
Boys we-were-we now are men;
We meet awhile but know not whether
We shall meet to talk again.
Parting time has come: how Aeety
Speed the moments. when their wings
Are fann'd by breathings issuing swestly
From tongue that never stings!

LOOKING OUr.-A young lady who
lives near a railroad crossing, appears
to have no earthly occupation, ex-
cept that Of continually and perpet-
ually poking- her head out of the

The bell amt rung yet was the
answer
What do you mean?' asked Miss.
'Wby,' was the answer, that sign

To Miss

As the waves fast hasten to their roaring cliffs.
Or the storm-to seaman to his native shore,
So hastes my wand'ring spirit to meet thino own
As fondly as in days Of yors.
The bloom of youth adorns thy maiden cheek
The Queeno Of Beauty claims thee as her own;
The smiling nymphs would thee gladly greet
And take thee to their forest home.
But stay, and once more let me fondly gaze
Into those bright blue orbs of love,
Which speak, tho, silently, from heart to heart,
The purest thoughts sent from above.
Pray Jet me adore thee: still let me admire
Those charms that so oft have led me to thee;
Pray let me unburthen the song of my love
hse,the bright star of my life's stormy sea
Thou'rt the star Of my hopes, the theme of
my song,
The essence of all that's pure in life's stream:
Ny fondest affections still rest in thy bosom,
And thy angelic features appear in each dream.
The world and its pleasures are nothing to me
Unless for thyself it brings sweet care;
The world with its riches no pleasure affords,
Unless with thyself their sweetness l share.
Then may mot live for hse star Of my hopes
When life's saddest hour, disappointment has
flown? !.
O. may not reach to the star of my hopes?
And may not call thee forever, mine oscn?

i The great battle in 1866 is to BE-
fought on sectional issues; yet the
ISouth is too weak to contend, unaid-
ed, with the great Fusion party Of
the North. We may all, Wings and
Democrats, combine our forces, set,
without party at the North SYM
fpathising with us to some extent,
we shall be able to make but feeble,
resistance to the growing empire of
Seward and bis allies. 1t behooves.
as then, by all the means in our pow
er, first, to bring about a union Of
the South, and, secondly, to foster a.
spirit Of conservatism at the North,
in the ranks Of both Wings and Dem
ocrats, whenever and wherever the
occasion offers. Without the aid of
such party at the North, the Union
cannot be preserved intact. If the
North and the South are to be divi-
ded geographically, and with refer
ence to the single idea which the fu-
sionists now offer, viz: no more slavs
States, what Southern man believes
the Union can survive a half dozen
years3 There is no way under heav-
en- to avoid the issue, but 10 keep
the North divided in sentiment
To accomplish this end we shall have
to reconcile the conservative element
ut the North. Instead of finding
fault with Northern statesman and
politicians because they do not come
up to the full measure Of our slave
y opinions, we should be ready toac-
;ord the need Of patriotism and lib- .
srality for what they have done, and
will do. We must avoid the scylla of
he extremist Of the Charleston Mer-
Jury and Corner Stone school, on
he one hand, and the charybdis of
Southern Wing partisans on the 9TH
n. The former would have US dis
|olve the Union, and running the
isk Of securing the peace and vel
are of our own section, while the 9TH
r would ALLEVIATE the sound men of
he North, by exultingover their de-
eat ut the hands Of the Free Soilers.
Which alternative is most to be a.
'oided, we leave the sound sense and
orethought Of our readers 70 decide.
We believe that not only duty but
ou1d policy dictates that the South
hould look to the North or West for
he next Presidential candidate. If,
s it seems to be generally conceded,
he overshadowirg issue in 1856 is to
Q. Seward or no Seward, the North
gainst the South, then it is highly
that the South will bo of
ne opinion With Northcra or
Western man, unexceptionable to the
outh, as to important matters, we
,ay triampb; bot with Southern
ian running the chances are as one
! hundred against rs.
In view Of thsss things, i! is both
Ut duty and our interest to sustain
i men, Of all parties, at the North,
tho proveby their deeds that they
our rights and intend TO
them. This we car never do
y taking part with the Abolition
ITS in their triumph over good and
rue men, as we blush to say has been
he case with at least one Wing pa
