10 one whose attention has not been drawn
especially 10 the subject it will be surprising to
call to mind low many Of the most sublime
and comprehensive passages in the English l;'li-
r,,age consist wholly or chiefly Of monoSvllabies.
OF the sixty-siX words comprising the lor'FS
PRAYER, iorty-cight are of one syllable. OF the
seventeen words composing the Golden Rule,
fifteen arc of one syllable. The most impress
sivc idea Of the creative power OF Jehovah Is
expressed entirely in monoSyllablcs: And
God said, Let there be light, and there was
light Ono Of the most encouraging promises
Of Scripture is expressed in fifteen words, all
but one Of which are mono$yllableS: l love
them that love me, and those that seek me
early shall find me-"
Among human compositions several remarka,
bic instances of the same character occur. VI
twentv-six words in tie following verse, all but
two are monosyllables:
"Nly God who makes the sun 10 know
His proper hour to rise
And to give light to all hcow,
Doth send him rouml tic skies"
Few sentences in poetry or prose, whatever
their length, contain 50 much doctrlnal insturc-
tiou, afford SO much precious consolation, Or in
spirc so much exulting hope. as the following,
in which all the words but one are ilonosylla-
bles:
Jesus, my God, | know his name,
His name is all my trust;
Nor will lie put my soul 10 Shame,
Nor let my hope be lost"

pronounced That name which once stirred emo
tions of the highest fervour, would now be re-
echoed by the monotonous expressions OF an un-
happy people. These are questions which are
more easily propounded than answered. But
fearful as the result of q disorganizaton may be,
private warfare is more to be avoided. And in
my humble opinion the last dread result is fast
closing around U.S. Unless the South rouse that
spirit of independence, which has long been an
ndisputed heritage, the North will secretly ad-
vance until she may have sufficient advantage,
to pounce down upon her unsuspccting brother.

When summer first woke from It's long, weary

Like some rosy infant so bright, and so gay,
And the song birds were carong forth their wild

In rayishing sweetness, she faded away
Faded away with the spring last wild flowers,
AS the young summer roses first burst INTO

Now they in their brightness lie wtlcrcd around

Like tic darling we've lost, they have left US

Faded and gone, ah the great world of sadness
That falls on tho heart as these words meet the

And We stretch forth our arms but to clasp vain

And YEARLY weep for the love that's not here
"Faded and gone !" thus thus twill be written,
On each human flower that blooms but 10 die:

"And is this all oh ca,th" in urauguiSh we cry !!

While Autumn spreads
4 sure decay;
AS if to mockthe oerhanging gloom
Which hovcrs round sweet natures tomb.
No more the bowers
Look fair as May,
For carth's sweet flowers
Nov haste away;
The birds have ceased their summer song,
And winter comcth, fastening on.
Yet stay awhile
Ye lowrets gay,
And still Lcguile
Sad winters day;
Still let thy beauty deck The grove,
Still breathe of happiness and love.
Speak to my heart,
Dear flowers, and say
Why all thats's bright
Must fade away?
Alas, the leaves that round me lie
Whisper that all, like them, must die.
