On the previous night about eleven O'clock Mrs
Rawns. residing in Newcastle Place, EdgWare road
was aroused from her sumbers by a loud knocking al

she, naturally surprising that he was the person
knocking, got out of bed and let him in, after doing
which she retired to her couch.
There was no light in her room. The person whom
she admitted the Dfsoner staggered about the room
upsetting ever thing that lay in his way.
1t Immediately struck her that her (supposedl hus

to bed without making such noise. W.

We did not fear them once-the dull gray mornings
N No cheerless burden on our spirits laid
The long night watches did not bring us warnings
That we were tenants Of q house decayed;

The frost did fairy Works on pave and bought
Beauty and power, and wonder, have not ended
How is it that we fear the Winters now
Their houseres fall as bright on hearth and chamber
Their northern starligh shines as eoIdly clear;
The woods still keep their holly for December;
The world d welcome yet for the new year;
And far away in old remembered places
The snow dFop. rises and the robin sings;
The sun and moon look out with loving faces
Why have our days forgot such goodly things? &
Is it that now the north wind finds us shaken I'll
By tempest fiereer than its bitter blast,
Which fair beliefs and friendships too, have taken
Away like Simmer foliage as they passed,
And made life leafess in its pleasant Valleys
Waning the lightiof promise from our day,

Hard is the ice that grows about the heart;

Millard Fillmore is the onl y man who has dared
to "beard the lion in his den,'' and face TO face
tell black republican and freesoi audience
that they are guilty of treason in denying the
south equal rights with the north. Buchanan
dare not do it. Breckenridge dare not do it.
Not one of the anti-American champions dare
attempt it. Let the south read Fillmore's speech
at Albany, then peruse Buchanan's letter pro-
claiming himself to be, in favor OF sauatter SOW
ereisntF; and finally look at Breckenridge bold
" taking a stand on the freesoil platform, and
announcing aloud that the democratic party is
not in Jaeor of the extension of slavery. Then
let the south answer whether Fillmore or Buch-
anan and breckenridge is most worthy Of her
confidence, and which Of them is entitled TO her
support.
From ..the lights before us, we predict that
Buchanan and Breckenridge will not carry. at
the November election. any OF the southern
States, except Arkansas and Texas. The de-
moerass in this region do not claim any other

welcome visitors at distance. But what
the American people covet most, is the pro
ductiYe soil which will support a hardy pop
uIation, rewarding industry with bounteous
returns, and thus adding at the same time
to the sum Of human happiness and the
growth Of national greatness and power. In
those far of possessions which have not yet
attracted the attention Of the emigrant,
there are vast fertile regions yet uneXplored,
and mining wealth incalculable, inviting the
hand of labor to draw forth its hidden boun-

have determined to be the shortest and the
best. The extension of those railroad i'm

the Gadsden purchase aver that it contains
as many advantages as any other district of
territory of the same area. 1t is full OF
mineral wealth, and as stock-raising re-
gion, not excelled anywhere. Cotton is pro
duced there, and with the scanty and rude
culture of the Indians, tmiyes well. With
an outlet to market, and an industrious race,
it would pay well; but the great interest is
cattle raising. These and the mining inter
ests, however productive, are behind for the
want Of easy communication, and they are
farther harrassed for the want of protection
against the Indians. The inrOads of the
savages are still frequent, in perpetuation Of
their hereditary feuds of three hundred
years against the Mexicans. Notwithstand
ing the peace treaties made with our agents
there, they seem not yet to have realized the
change Of Government, or to have formed
an idea of the United States-S. L. Her. !

Like the fairest rose of summer,
Carrie bloomed and Carrie died;
o, how lone the world without her,
For she was my JOY and pride
Long loved her, loved her dearly
Soon she was my own to be;
But she's sleeping, sweetly sleeping,
Meath the dark magnolia tree.
Yonder see it in the valley,
See its branches waving gay.
See that streamlet dancing by it,
Singing swectly all the day;
Sing thou on, thou ne 'cr wilt wake her,
Who so often sang with thee;
No she's sleeping. calmly sleeping,
Meath the dark magnolia tree.
What is home, my angel Carrie,
To stricken heart like mine?
What is earth with all its treasures,
When compared with worth of thine ?
1t is nothing, nothing, nothing!
All is nothing now to me
O. alas, thou'rt sleeping, sleeping
Meath the dark magnolia tree.
Carrie. yes my gentle Carrie,
Dweils among the angels now;
One more harp is heard in heaven.
One more heart is wrecked below.
But I'm coming, yes I'm coming,
For where thou art would be;
Soon. yes. soon shall be sleeping
Meath the dark magnolia tree.
