The Dying Girl.

'Tis growing dark, my mother,
So very dark to night;
Oh, tell me now the reason,
/ cannot see the light?
Am | growing blind, mother,
And never more must see!
If not-oli! then, my mother,
What can the reason be?
Speak louder, sweet mother dear,
And tell me now l pray,
If no more shall hear
The gentle words you say2
Oh! tell me quickly. mother,
Ii no more may greet
That voice of thine, dear mother?
So kind and ever sweet.
Oh! why am growing cold7
am SO chilly now
The Precipitation, mother,
Is gathering on my brow,
Fold me to thy breast. mother,
And warm my throbbing heart,
For something's whispering me,
That you and must part.
Oh! tell me quickly, mother,
For am losing breath,
And clasp me closer, mother;
Now tell me, is this death?
Oh! do not weep, sweet mother,
For see, | am not blind,
A bright and glorious light
Is breaking on my mind.
See. they are showing, mother,
A little robe so white;
Aud tiny little crown
And golden harp SO bright.
But oh! my darling mother,
They're coming now for me,
And they'll clasp me in their arms.
And bear me far from thee.
But twill not he long, mother,
Ere they again will come,
And take thee too. my mother,
Up to my happy home
They've robed me in white mother.
To bear me to the skv,
Oh! meet me there, sweet mother
Now-one fond kiss-good bye!

A PROCLAMATION
BY EXCEcLLEGNCY THOMAS BRAGG,
GOVERNOR STATE OF NORTH

WHERAs, an act was passed by the last Gen
Grad Assembly Of this State, by vote of three
ifths of all the members thereof, i duly certi
fed copy of which is as follows:
AN ACT to amend the Constitution of tho
State of North Carolina
Worcester daily spy. [volume] (Worcester [Mass.]) 1850-1888, 1856-04-24

A trial in Liverpool brings out the
fact that John Brennan, Manchester mer-
chant has been for five or six years defraud-
ing the United States revenue, by sending
silks to this country done up in hampers rep
resenting porter. The rascal had made ar
rangements with clerk in the employment
of the agent of one of the lines of passenger
ships, through whose connivance he had been
enabled to carry on very successful snug
Cling business. Three of the hampers having
failed to reach their destination, bv being
thrown overheard III the Hudson river to es-
cape detection, the Manchester merchant
brought suit against the clerk to recover the
value of their contents, but was non. suited,
the Judge declaring that he could not assist
anybody iHdetIauding the government of the
United States.
Col. Fremont, writes the Washington
correspondent of the New York Times. seems
to grow stronger every day as candidate for
the Presidency. He does not seek the eleva-
ton. With all the remarkable force of char
acter, OF which his adventurous life affords us
the evidence, he is one of the most retiring
and modest of men; but letters from all parts
Of the country, and especially from the north
west, show TINT his name is hailed everywhere
with great enthusiasm.
= The Louisville Courier states that
spectators in corn, in the Wabash, have sus.
tanned great losses the esent season; 40 and
43 cents have been paid for corn, and it is now
selling for % cents. The crop is unusually
large, and unless there should be an extra de-.
mand, OF which there is no prospect, it must
go down still more.
The United States officials in Kansas
have pulled down or caused to be removed all
the houses IN the town OF Pawnee on the
ground that it was built on Indian land. One
Of the houses destroyed belonged to Gov
Reeder, and cost $1,000. Leavonworth, also
built on Indian territory, is supposed to stand,
Its inhabitants arc not all free State men.
General Nye, in his speech at New
ark, made strong point in referring to Mr..
Douglass threat, {" We will subdue you."-
He said that it was the hight Of impudence for
a man who found himself unable to subdue
his own evil and base nature, to talk of sub
DUNG the Free North.
The advertising columns Of the Lon
don Times are estimated to yield the estab-
lishment the enormous sum of 5000, 900
per annum. Ono firm alone pays the Times
as high as 100000 year for advertising,
aud there are several business establishments
that pay 1t over $6O,OOO year TOR advertising
alone.
