OUR CHILDHOOD.

BY GEO. d. PRENTICE.
~~~O~-~~~~~~
'Tis sad-yet sweet-tO listen
To the soft winds gentle swell.
And think we hear the music
Our Childhood knew SO well;
To gaze out on the even,
And the bo ndess fields of air,
And feel again our boyhood wish
To roam like angels there!
There are many dreams of gladness
That cling around the past
And from the tomb of feeling
Oldthoughts come thronging fast;
The forms we loved SO dearly
In the happy days now gone
The beautiful and lovely,
So fair to look upon.
To the bright and lovely maidens
Who seemed SO formed for bliss
Too glorious and too heavenly
For such q world as this.
Whose soft dark eyes seemed swimming
In sea of liquid light,
And whose locks of gold were streaming
Der brows SO sunny and bright
Whose smiles were like the sunshine
In the spring time of the year
Like the changeful glooms of April
They followed every tear.
They have passed. like hope, away
All their loveincss has fled
Oh! many heart is mourning
That they are with the dead.
Like the bright buds of summer,
They have fallen from the stem
Yet all. it is lovely death
To fade from earth like them.
And yet the thought is saddening-
To muse on such as they,
And feel that all the beautiful
Are fast passing away.
That the fair ones whom we love
Grow, to each loving breast,
Like the tendrils of the clinging vine
Then perish where they rest.
And can we but think of these
In the soft and gentle spring,
When the trees are waving o'er US,
And the flowers are blossoming.
For VIC know that winters coming
WITCH his cold and stormy sky
And the glorious beauty round us
Is bloomi but to die!

Gov, HAMLIN's MBssAeE.-Gov. Hamlin
took the oath of offic as Gov. of Name, on
Thursday, at twelve clock, and delivered his
message. He refers to the Presidential cleo
ton, and states at length the issues involved
therein. He declares that the true question
was. substantially, whether the advancement
of human freedom should continue to be a
Fundamental principle, and pre- eminent OBJ
ject of one national government within the
line marked out by the constitution or
whether its powers should be perverted to the
extension of slavery. He then rehearses the
policy Of our fathers, looking to prohibition
of slavery in the territories, and briefly states
the objects of the compromise OF 1920, and
says that the Republicans will oppose in
every legal way, to the extension over the
Territories. lie speaks Of the suHerings of
our fellow citizens in Kanzas, and urges upon
the legislature the expediency of contributing
their aid, should the present state of things
continue. The Governor takes occasion to
censure, in the strongest terms, the action of
the last Legislature, by which a Judge Of the
Supreme Court was removed from Office, by
an address, for expressing an opinion.

THE GoLDsBoRo' TRAGEDY-Of course there are
different versions of this unfortunate affair at Colds
boro Which is correct, is more than we are pre-
pared TO say. The only item bearing materially
upon the NATTER is the assertion that DR.. Davis had
struck the elder Odenheimer with the fire shovel be-
fore either of the Odenheimers fired. How this may
be, we cannot say. The statement we gave yester-
day. was from private letter from reliable person,
who would not intentionally convey wrong impress
sion under any circumstances, still less in writing to
his father No doubt hundred rumors are afoat
even in Goldsboro and even on the ground itself, it
is next to impossible 10 get the story straight
The most pleasing have since received,
is, that at the last accounts yesterday afternoon Dr.
Davis was alive and doing much better than had been
expected or hoped; also that there were hopes of
the recovery of the younger Odenhemer the elder
remained without change. There appears to
be little hope in his case. None of the parties
are beyond the point of extreme danger. AS might
have been anticipated, the town of Goldsboro' is
stirred up, and great excitement prevails. Some
fears were entertained of the application of lynch law
to all persons of the class to which Odenheimer be-.
longs. We most sincerely trust that the sober Sec
ond thought OF the people, will decidedly condemn
any such movement, volative of the law as it must
be-un Just, passion is almost sure to be-niurious
to the name and fame of the town, and entailing
lasting and inevitable regrets upon all concerned.
