Twas eve I
The sun had sunk to rest the silent stars
Were stepping silently forth in Heavens blue vault
The ripping silvery waves Of moonlight fell
| Der all the city, The cool and fragrant air
! Seem d filed with the gentle rustling Of
Soraph's wooing II SO softly kissd tho brides
Fair check, and lnd the dark hair from her brow.
Slowly there wandered thro' the city gates,
Both hoary age aud blooming, blushmg youth:
For the board was spread and many to the feast
Were hidden. There was group upon which
The eye would rest with silent love and awe,
For in its midst there walkd one Of princely ineln
Upon whose brow the impress Of God
Was stamp'd and in whose soft blue eye, serene
As the cloudloss MONDAY sky, there glowed
The innocence of a child, mingled with
Power divine. Not yet did the wondering
Crowd hang upon his lips for they knew not
He was the promised one of Israel
The vow was spoken,
And she, the fair young girl, had giy'n her heart
Into tie keeping of one whom she deem'd
Noble and brave-ihe fow'r of ohyalry--
And her fair cheek fush'd with pride as from
The depth of her dark, glorious eyes, she cast
One look of love on him whom she had chosen, i
Aud then, the roseatc hue mounted
Fen TO her pure brow, the long lashes droop'd
On her soft checFwhich moeked the blnsh rose
With its beauty. The Priest of the Moa Hieh
God was there: but they knew not the high and
Holy work for which be camei and he so
Lowly horn passd by, with bat look
Or word. Yet in his heart there gow'd pure, ID
Deep love for these misguided erring ones
They had gathered
Around the festa board and the bright wine
Sparkled and burst 10 foaming bubbles, as ~
II kss'd the pointing lip df beauty rare;
And there was gay laughter gurglingup from
Happy hearts; bright smiles of mystic import,
And gay jests which brought smiles to cen sad eyes
Apart from where thronged The great and noble
Recned one in whose diladng eye ih t,t
There shone the consciousness 81 pow'r innate,
supreme, on,nipetent by his side was
one Of gentle and modest dignity s,l
A noble loving woman, who estoem'd
Herself honor'd above all others. in
Being chosen the Mother of Him
Whom angels praise and men adore And when
She turn'd look of love mingled with awe fsi ?,
On him whom she felt, would make known his own
Omnipotencc, she said, They have no wine"
He spakc with reverence due, Woman, what have
to do with thee mine hour is not yet
Come" Yet she feeling IN her Utmost heart
His divinity, babe them do whatsoe'cr

This movement, at the head of which
is the Hon. VIM l.. Yancey, Of Ala, is

Ito effect dissolution of the Union, only
to devise ways and means by which the
LSouth can in a measure become equal.
.Iized with the North nor is it a Wing
trick fixed up to break into the arrange
ments of the National Democratic party,
or plan adopted by fireeating demo-
Gratis, by which they could 'scape their
gas; but it is a movement, which, many
believe, if effectually carried out, will in
the end, give peace to the South. 1t is
said by some the cry-of abolitioaists :
has been yelled in our ears for the last
twenty years. But by whom was the
sectional feeling that has degenerated
into fanaticism first cherishedl Do not
abolition newspapers TEEN with accounts
of abolition meetings, adopting resolu-
tions stgmati>ing the name of Washing
Ton as unworthy to be remembered by
Them, if they remain in Union where
the accused institution of slavery is toll,
Grated, and declaring the glory of Bun.
ker Hill, of Yorktown and Saratoga,
should cease to be regarded as common
property Has not this been the course
of Northerners for years The conser-
vatiye patriotism of Southemers is well
nigh exhausted, and the turbulent waves
Of Northern fanaticiSm which have so
long dashed themselves in fury against
the rock of the Constitution and Union,
are fast sapping the foundation of our
liberty, and, in a few years, this grand
and mighty structure must fall. We CON
template even the idea with fear and
trembling, and often send silent prayer
to heaven that we may not live to see
the day when this proud nation will be
numbered among the things that were,
and this Union, whose very name is sym
boIic of grandeur and power, lie a mass
of ruins. But what is to be done Are
we to go on as we have done for some
years, and let the abolitionists continue
to increase in power and grow in inso-
lence, while we pursue the even tenor of
our way ! Or shall we adopt measures
such as the Southern League propose to
effect, and when the time comes, strike
for our rights AS yet there has been
committed no act of hostility sufficient
to justify extreme measures; but we
know not how soon the preiudices of
Northerners may prompt them to acts of
direct hostility. 1t is useless to speak of
the North and South uniting in one po-
litical party; oil and water will not min
Gle, and we will only learn too late, we
pursue mirage when we hope for "a Ma
tional party.

they should think, but act. Education
is the most important subject ever press.
ed upon AN enlightened people, and we
cannot be unaware of the great advan.
tages that would result to this is-to-be
city from the possession of good schools
in which education of high character
could be obtained. Some of our citizens
we regret TO see, are indiSposed to exert
that energy, that enthusiasm, we may
say, the occasion demands. The people
of this country generally, are in the en-
ljoyment OF liberties no age ever before
realized or country possessed, and it is
with us to say whether we shall have
schools here that will reflect credit to
our town and honor to ourselves. al.
most every town and village within our
knowledge has fine schools, and shall we
not have one at least that can, with truth Nth,

ANOTHER tsUI(aDE-

The New Orleans papers give feeling
account of the suicide of young man
named Lemuel Bennett Disappointment
in love, life had no charms for him and
he blew out his brains with shot gun
He wrote letter to the girl he loved
not wisely, but too WELL" also one to his
father from which we extract as follows
" | see no happiness whatever, and I bid
you and brother farereH forever! Do
not grieye; this world has no charm for
me. "A young man of my age to look be-
fore him and see all his future prospects
darkened, what can he live for would
have ended my life long ago, but | wish
ed to see you and brother-I have seen
you, and now | ask for nothing more than
the-tomb." Poor philosophy We a.

the spirit of Byron

Here's heart for every fate"
