FRIENDSHIP.

The young King is standing on his pal
ace walls. He will be crowned to day.
With swelling heart he gazes on his en-
pire, the cities, the rivers, and the smil-
ing fields of his fair domain The
morning breeze is fresh in his nostrils,
the sunshine glows brighter than ever it
cleaned before; to-day sunshine, air and
earth are his, and he is lord Of all.
Lift up your heads, oh ye gates, and
be ye lift up ye everlasting doors!," this
is also our coronation morning. For we
are young, and boundless realm of beau
ty and truth is ours. No ancient annal,
nor historic page, records the glory of
a dominion so vast; no story of war and
victory tells of conquest so grand as ours
shall be. Our territories are not limited
by boundaries, nor can the ocean say to
us. "Thus far shalt thou go, and no far
ther." Our royal highways extend be-
yond the comets lengthening path
Even the most distant star that the bright
eye of science has ever reached, dare not
say 81 am the last Our knowledge
and our power are growing illimitable,
the primeval bonds Of nature are hurst.

aiyy maniied cottage stood,
Within the sounds Of torrents %Rd,
Where dwelt, in sylvan solitude,
The village pastor and his child
Proud suffers paid their court and duty
To this romantic rural beauty.
Yet none of all the swans who sought her,
Was worthy of the pastors daughter.
The town gallants crossed hill and plain
To seek the groves OF her retreat:
And many followed in her train,
To lay their riches at her feet.
But still, for all their arts so vary,
From home they could not lure the fairy.
A maid without heart they thought her.
And 80 they left the pastors daughter.
One balmy eve in budding spring
A bard became her fathers guest:
He strnck his harp, and every string
TO love vibrated in her breast,
With that true love which cannot ialter,
Her hand she gave him at the altar
And faithful was the heart he brought her,
TO wedlock and the pastors daughter
Who seldom learn the worldly gay.
With all their sophistry and art
The sweet and gentle primrose way
To woman's found, devoted heart
They seek, but never find the treasure
Revealed in eyes jet and azure,
To them like truths in wells of water,
A fable is the pastors daughter.

| Loee.-True love, in all its stages
seeks concealment, and never expects
success. 1t renders man not only res.
pectinl, but timid in the highest degree,
IN his behavior to the woman he loves
TO conceal the awe he stands in of her,
he may sometimes effect pleasantly, but
it sis awkwardly on him, and he quickly
relapses into his seriousness, if not into
dulness. lie magniiies all her real per-
lectlons in his imagination, and is either
blind to her failings, or converts them in
to real beauties. Like person conscious
OF guilt, he Is jealoue that every eye oh
serves him and TO avoid this he shuns
all the little obseryances of gallantry.-
Ills heart and character will be improv-
ed in every respect by his attachment
His manners will become moro gentle
and his conversation more agreeable !;
but diffidence and embarrassment will al
ways make him appear to disadvantaT,
in the company of his mistress. If the
fascination continues long, it will totally
denress his spirit, and extinguish every
active, vigorous, and manly principle of
his mind.
Now, young ladies, when you observe
in gentlemen's behavior these marks
which have described above, reflect Sc
riously what You are to do. If his at
tachment is agreeable to you, leave
you to do as nature, good sense, and deli
cacy shall direct you. If you love him,
let me advise you never to discover to
him the full extent of your love, no, not
although you marry him. That suifi-
GENTLY shows your love, which is all he
is entitled to know. If he has delicacy,
he will ask for no stronger aproof your
affection for your sake; if he has sense
he will not ask it for his own. This is
an unpleasant truth, but It's best for you
to know it. Violent love cannot subsist,
at.least cannot be expressed long togeth-
er On both sides Otherwise the certain
consequence, however concealed, is sa-
tiety and disgust.
These thoughts should sink deep in
your memory, and be Of some use to you,
at the time you stand most in need of
.-Er.

OKOLONA, MISS, OCTOBER 7, 1858.

This pure friendship, which they despise
this blessed love is life and light. If any
man should say he loves his friend, yet
not as Damon did love Pythias, he loves
not at all
Soft and gentle as the fall of dew
drop on violent, are the tender minis
trations of affection. Stealing down 10
the heart of the flower it feeds it with
freshness, yet not so much as agitates its
slender STEM The dew drop knows what
tiny flameht must be nourished, what
delicate element supplied. With sub
dued but wondrous sympathy, the heart
waits on its beloved, extracts for it the
honey from every blossom, breaks off the
point of every thorn, and perfumes for it
each breath of air. True friendship is
not Of that faithful" character that de-
lights in tornlehtihg its victim for his
Lasting beneft;' that Under a villain
GUS mask of goodwill, utters bitterer
taunts than the enemy would dare to do.
1t does not torture the dear one to re-
move his faults, or rear his heart to de-
stroy some unhealthy human. Gently,
secretly, it seeks to efface the stain, anx-
iously, yet seeming all unconscious of its
presence. Silently it nourishes the good
silently it eradicates the evil.
And now, faithful heart, though thy
shroud is weaving, and thy shadow grow
ing long on the grass though the night
cometh, it cometh not for thee Thou
knowest that thy beloved is immortal,
and that thy love cannot die. What
more The last and bitterest pang of
earth is parting; the tenderest hope OF
heaven is eternal co1npanionsilip.

Sad lore Story.-An episode in this

the st. Louis Republican. A young girl
of Bordeaux fell in love with an Ameri-

with him to America to be married, as
her parents were averse to the match
They arrived a short time since at New
Orleans, were married there, but, terrified
at the ravages Of the yellow fever, has
tened to st. Louis in hopes to escape It.
The grim monster however; had obtained
hold in the young mans vitals, and he
arrived at his destination only to de-
The poor French girl, many miles away
from relatives and acquaintances, after
all her trials and sacrifice. when scarce
a wife is made widow, and must depend

The Language Of Lore" Dost thou
love me e asked a youth, in the holiest
hour of love, the first in which souls meet
and give themselves away. The maiden
gazed on him, but answered not. Oh if
thou loves me, speak r continued he, but
she gazed on him still, and could hot
"Then | have but dreamed Of happiness,
and Ropped that thou didst love me; but
now all is over--both happiness and hope!'
said the youth.
Dearest, do | not, then, love thee r.
the maiden now asked, once and again.
I" but why so slow to say it, inquired
be.
She answered, "I was too happy to
speak, until | heard and felt thy pain"

TIE EVENING PRAYER,

TIE EVENING PRAYER.
The fading sunset tint still touched
With gold, the distant mountains SWELL
And DER the palms of Mexico,
The rosy twilight softly fell.
The purple darkness of the sky
With nights first radiant gems inlal,
Beat caimniy DER enbattled plains,
A trampled field, bloody glade.
Upon conch of dewey grass,
With bleeding breast a soldier lay,
Whose lab'rng breath too plainly marked
That life was ebbing fast away.
They told him of the battle gained,
They told bim Of bis blood-bought fame,
For he who lay expiring there,
Had won, that day, a deathless name.
In vain. The spirit-stifring theme
Woke III his eye no living Light
The troplc twiligLts Joyous gloon
tmheedcd, deepened INTO night
No tale Of Wronss yet masenged
Aroused again the warriors ire,
Within his heart, his country's cause
Could light no more the patriots fire.
He knew not that his languid head
Lay on Weeping comrades breast,
He saw once more the soft white couch,
His infant form so oft had pressed,
Far from this awful scene his thoughts
Had wandered, to lis mother mild,
As at her side, long, long ago,
He knelt happy little child
Tie breathed the prayer aloud, and ers

The stars slept. The day was done.
The wounded heart forever still.
If night refresh my aching eyes
At close Of bright and weary day;
Or sleep for aye, my eyelids close,
Be his, my latest prayer alway j.
