'Eisitors.' exclaimed Kate Bennett, inn
patiently, as she laid aside the cook which
she had been reading, and in which she
had been deeply interested and took the
cards which the servant presented.
Dear me, how provoking! Just as am
in the most exciting part of the story-and
that part, disagreeable Emily Archer, too,
she added, reading one of the cards; who
else, wonder?'
Was there magic in that simple bit of
paste board, inscribed only with two words
Richard Warren?' 1t would almost seem
so, SO instantaneously did her countenance
change. The frown that had disfgured
her beautiful brow, had disappeared, her
eyes sparkled, and without another thought
of tie book, she hastily assured herself, by
a glance at the mirror, that her toilet was
unexceptionable, and left the room
AS she entered the drawing room, and
greeted her guests with all the grace and
elegance of manner for which she was dis
tinguished-Emily Archer surveyed hel
with one rapid, critical glance; but dress, as
well as manner, was faultless.
1t must be confessed that Kate Benne
enters a room like queen she thought
with a pangof jealousy, as in Richard War

of the lovely girl before them.
What casual observer, who had marked
the meeting of these young ladies woulC
have dreamed that, under all the outward
/ friendliness, each hated the other with thei
whole heart?
Yet so it was. Kate and Emily were ri
val bellies, and their claims to admiration
were so equally balanced that it required NJ
little exertion on either side to gain the as
tendency and be acknowledged the victor

putting single illustration Where would

event of a dissolution A border State,
certain to become the battle ground of the
two exasperated communities, its fields

impoverished Ten years of disunion would
undo for Pennsylvania all that seventy
years of union had achieved,
The blessings Of peace are proverbial.-
The United States have outstripped Europe
so enormously in prosperity, not only be-
cause this was new country, but because
the Union secures a lasting peace between
the several commonwealths, and with ii the

men, who seek TO advance their own ends

that the love of liberty is their ruling mo-
tive. Yet the preservation of the Union
is the only security freedom has, here or
abroad.

BURY ME WHERE WAS BORN

Oh. bury me, oh. bury me,
In the vale where was born,
Where the babbling brook glides gently by
As dream of peace at morn;
And cglantines and roses sweet,
On their banks green bowers weave,
And gay birds sing from rosy morn
Til the dewy hours of eve.
There, unnoted, fed youths golden days,
On light and airy wing,
As cloud across a summer sky,
Or flowers of early spring.
Bury me, oh. bury me there,
In that dear old vale, and blest
b. the dearest ties of human love,
That can thrill the human breast.
Twas there my holy mother died,
Ere my heart knew auglt of care,
Or had felt the pain and cold neglect
That the orphan heart must bear.
There grandpa watched my childish sports
With a beaming eye of JOY,
And tears rolled down his furrowed checks,
As he called me his 'orphan boy"
Then bury me, oh. bury me
In that hallowed vale and blest,
Where all the loved of childhood's wears
Lie low in their dreamless rest.
Bury me by the dear ones side,
And let the roses sweet perfume
Laden the breezcs that shall wave
The green grass over my tomb

from any OF those presses which are now
filled with such indignant invectives against
Sheriff Jones and his posse, who have
taken possession of the other city of Law
renee in the Territory of Kansas The
owner of these muskets, purchased as we
have said, to defend the very hearthstones
of free white men in Lawrence, Massachu-
sets, was that night assailed in the street
and stabbed with bowie knife in the side
He drew his pistol and fired at his assail-
ant, wOunding him in the arm. For this
he was seized and thrown into prison, the
Judge who so ordered it saying that to re-
lease him, would be to insure both his own
and the prisoners murder by the armed
bullies, hunting to death the man who bad
purchased firearms to defend the house III
which resided his wife and children. The
Court itself, satisfied that the accused (now
a citizen of Chicago) had committed no
offence, declared that to release him would
be to decree the murder of both Court and
prisoner. And this was in Lawrence. not
Lawrence in Massachusetts Who can
remember that the Abolitionists of Chicago
ever held public meeting to sympathize
with, or contributed dollar to assist those
free white men, who were struggling upon
soil long since consecrated to freedom for
the humble right of living in their own
houses, exempt from midnight outrage and
brutal violence! Oh, no Goodrich and
Arnold and Blackwell and Vaughan had
no tears to shed over the outrages in Law
renee, Massachusetts, because that was a
case where the intolerant spirit of Massa-
chusetts bigotry was outraging the rights
of free white men. No regiments we're
raised to march to Lawrence, Massachu-
setts, but the unfortunate victims were
compelled to defend as best they could the
commonest rights of humanity.
We are compelled to defer the review OF
the rest of this case, till to- morrow

THE UNION FOREVER

Perish the hand that would destroy
The temple of our sires.
Perish the heart that hopes for JOY
In its consuming fires!
Let not the monster be forgot
Who dares to light the flame,
But curse him with traitors lot,
And with traitors name.
Our fainting hopes refuse to die,
Our tottering bulwarks stand,
And freedoms banner still floats high
Ger united land.
The stars that gem the azure fold,
May cease awhile to shine;
But tremble not! the arm that holds
The flagstaff is Divine.
While the dark raven BODIES despair,
And still our fear renews,
The noble eagle high in air,
His onward way pursues.
He breads not there the tempest's wrath,
Though all its thunders roll;
But scars above the tempest's path,
Exulting to the goal.

MEssRs. EDITORS It is generally understood that
a new judicial circuit-making the eighth-is to be
formed in our State and consequently new Judge
elected. Gov. Bragg, in his able message, has re-
commended it, and the Speakers of the two Houses
endorse his Recommendation. Indeed the times de-
mand and the people expect it from the present Cen
eral Assembly The question then arises who of
many talented lawyers, ought to be advanced to
this post of high honor and great responsibility !?
In deciding this important question our representa-
tves will doubtless look far beyond the minor con.
sderations of party or personal friendship. They
will rather endeavor to select who, fulfilling the
constitutional requirements, combines morality and
integrity with profound legal ability, and who will
give general satisfaction to their constituents. whose
rights he is to decide. THos RuFFIN, jr, of Rock
ingham, is respectfully suggested to them as one
eminently qualified to fill this high and honorable
station. Mr.. Ruf6n is at present performing the
duties Of Solicitor for the 18th judicial circuit with
universal comnendation. He is a close reasoner, an
able lawyer and diligent student, and rapidly acqu.
ring that fame that the "riginti lucubrationes
noruns alone insures. Combining with these re-
ouistes all the qualities that adorn the social posi-
ton, he bids fair to follow in the footsteps of his H.
lustrious and venerated father. In short we know
Of no one better calculated to hold the scales of
tice with steady and even hand. His election would
give general satisfaction, and rebound both to the
honor of our State and the wisdom of the General
Assembly.

u FOE the St3noafo.
~ MEssRs EnfroRs: We see several propositions be.
fore the Legislature for Railroads connecting with
great Central Road. It is not our purpose to de-
tract from any plans now before the Legislature,
but permit to say, with the very slight examine
ton given this part of State by our State GEE
ologst, and Prof G. jenkins Phillips, formerly from
Cornwall, Great Britain, we have no fear Of rest-
ing our claims for arm of the road their emil
nent judgments.
Would this arm from the Central Road injure
that road leaving the best point to be selected
by the Legislature, to pass by Germanton, thirty
miles from the Central Road, and thus 10 receive
the millions of barrels of me the marble for slabs
and for bnildng-thence to Madison, all the way
through the immense beds of iron and coal and
still to Leaksville, through continuation of the
coal beds, and, think copper also in great abun-
dance Well, what else? Produce in album
Dance wheat corn and tobacco
We do sincerely hope that this Legislature will
grant us charter. This arm will give to the Cen
trail Road freight in COAL lime, iron and pro-
duce than now passes the road, will without
it. This may look like Boosting, but it is mott 49,
the sober truth. Will the members of the LegisIa-
ture look into this measure? Build this arm, or
grant the charter, and the freight that would be
poured in to the Central Road would soon raise its
stock to par and make good dividends If these
things were not so, would not state or urge
them-but we know what say to be SO, and we
again ask the attention of the Legislature to this
measure. MANY CITIZENS.

to be applied to the relief of the poor. Sumptuous
