SUMNER FRIENDS.

BY KITTY CARROLL
They come with words Of kinlness,
False hearted summer friends,
And while your on hfe's Aighest step,
Their friendship knows no end
Their very tone is Friendships orn-
They counterfeit so well
That choosing from the vaIied throng,
The tru ones cannot tell.
But let the hour TO try them come,
And see how quick they're changed;
The friends you deem the truest ones
The soonest grow estranged.
Sel!-interest, which suits them best,
Will often intervene,
And then. like Summer birds. thcyny
Where skies more brightly beam.
They laugh and sing when you are gay,
Ana catch your look and tone,
Yet when the hour Of sadness comes
They let you grieve alone.
An honest friend | do commend,
Bat false ones iespise,
And love to see. mch growing cold
When their true friendship dies

"a Under the pure and incorruptible admin

the Government have run up to the sum of $780,

must be collected in some FORM If our right
worthy masters, the negro breeders, will not let
US collect duties upon imported goods, for fear
that the incidental protection will operate to
the advantage of white laborng men (mud sills),
then there must be resort to direct taxation

q For fear that our silence may b eonssru.

accordancs with the desire, expressed through

upon his neighbor's premises, as has 80 often
been the case heretofore.

hziha, and were anxious to have correct and
reliable survey. He was therefore required by
the Council to make it without any increase in
his pay, necessary assistance being provided
The Gazette is welcome to all it can make out
OF the circumstance.
In regard to city expenditures in street i'm.
provements, the Gazette will please turn to its
files of November and December last, and it
will see that at that time it claimed the votes
OF the iaboring men Of this city for its friends
who sought a reelection to the CITY Council
upon the ground that the then Government
graded the lower end Of Main street and did
other unnecessary and useless jobs merely to
feed men who could get no work elsewhere
Its clamor for economy now comes with bad
grace.
The present Council only carries forward
such improvements as are necessary to prevent
great losses upon work heretofore done.
Should the City Council undertake, in the
presen; state OF the treasury to carry forward
heavy improvements, even though important
and useful, We will join with the Gazette in
reading them lecture. We shall never, as it
did, advocate extensive improvements for the
sake OF keeping in employment set of men to
return the favor at the polls.
