Arouse from your Apathetic Slumber and put
on the Impenetrable Armour Of the South
ern Manufacturer
In the present vexatieus aspect of political
affairs, threatening the happiness of our
Southern or Slavehoding States, and which
ID madly persisted in by the sanction of an
unrelentess increasing association of arch-de-
signing Northern fanatics, traitors. and many
sanctimonius preachers of the Gospel; all
of whom are the most inveterate enemies to
our happiness and prosperity, as is evidently
manifested by their ceaseess efforts in using
every arttul stratagem their diaboical in
genuity can devise, for disseminating among
US their nefarious, Economical intentions,
through the plausibility of their artful de-
signing smooth-tongued agents, assuming
the vocation Of Pedlars. Hawfers Of Medicine,
Book Agents, Teachers, Itinerant Preach
ers, and host of locomotive characters
too tedious to enumerate, for the purpose
OF misleading the unsuspecting and unet-
tered portions of the community; also thisv-
ing slaves from their rightful owners, and
committing every atrocity against our hap
piness that their malicious Vaccinations can
foment; the entire of which has been ap-
proved of, by the signatures OF, ''it is sta
ciates or confederates in the Black :.Republi-
can Party, at present in the Halls of Cos
gress; who have, without any quAlm of con-
science, affixed their names to the infamous
book edited by that hypocritical, infamous
thief, Helper, an arch-demagogue of known
notoriety.
Under the above aspect of vexatious af-
fairs we must make an effort that must eff
fectually counterfeit the impending and in
creasing evils; and that rust be by arous-
ing from our apathetic slumbers, and aim
ing at and striking deeply into the root of
such awfal fanaticism; otherwise we cannot
reasonably expect any mitigation of the
portending evil.
You will very naturally enquire, how can
that be affected The reply is-Encourage
Southern Manufactures, by the entire prohi-
bition of all articles that have been manu-
featured in the non-slaveholding States; per-
sist in doing so, and give visible demon
stration OF the determination OF your South.
ern attachment by wearing the dress of
Southern manufactured articles, and in do
ing so you will study great economy in
the outfit, equally as comfortable in South
ern suit; and experience an inward gratid-
cation for having thus acted. Will ye not
follow suit i? Y.

TIE RoBINs.-There is fierce war being
waged against these little tenants of the
air. Guns are banging in every direction,
carrying death and destruction to the feath-
cred tribe, who little knowing Of the roast

sought, come close to the hands of men,
We have heard Of dire mischance among
the Robin Nimrods, of kicking guns and
fractions firearms. We have heard some
fabulous Tor wonderfully stories of multi
tudes of robins who have fallen victims to
one load of shet, and have wondered-well,
no matter what we wondered at-we ate the
birds and morslized. Our moral was arriv-
ed at after due consideration, and is this -

TEE WEArHER.-W never can say enough
about the weather, for it has been OF late
one of the most interesting subjects. We
have had April weather in the midst OF in
ter, flying showers, couded skies, and then
CLEANS of brilliant sunshine. This has
changed to bracing air, clear sky, and
a pleasant atmosphere. 10 such change
we have been looking for some time, and we
hail it with pleasure, as good for trade and
the festal preparations for the coming sea
son. Holidays come too seldom to have the
deep pleasure literally domped by the wealth
err. Fine clear weather makes h Apply face s,
lust as surely as rain, mud and diSagreeable
times make long faces and misery.

p NEwspAPsRs-W learn the following in.
formation from q reliable source: ''There
are 1864 newspapers published in the U.
States and territories, of which 6l3 are in
New York, 4l9 in Pennsylvania, 1872 in Ohio,
22l in Illinois. and 2l9 in Massachusetts"
leaving 1910 for the rest of the States. 1t
would be curious piece of statistical infor-
nation if we could discover, how many per-
sons read each one of those three thousand
three hundred and sixty. four newspapers,
also what amount of reliable matter is
published, say in miles,-how many edi-
tors, sub editors, reporters or penny-a-liners,
contribute to them, the opinions expressed
about them, and as climax to information,
how many subscribers to each newspaper
pay their subscription promptly.

APPEARANCES. judge by appear
ances, for as surely as you do, you win be
misled. This is trite proverb, but one
nevertheless so apt to be disregarded, that ii
is well to keep it before the people.
In the most unsightly bulb we find the in
FAINT lily folded, the toughest pebble may
conceal gem, and beneath tattered garb
and mean exterior may burn the brightest
genius and throb the nobl,st heart of all hu
manity. Judge not by appearances. Satan
generally clothes himself in broadcloth, and
Folly wreathes her brow with jewels. The
face may be radiant with smiles, while deep
in the bosom tempests may be raging tenn
pests of the soul that are far more terrible
than the contending elements. There are
flowers beautiful as though they might bloom
in heaven, that are poison to the touch. The
tabled fruit of the Dead Sea, was like Grim
son and gold, yet when it was plucked,'t was
found filled with ashes. Judge not by APP
pearances, for the greater part of life is but
a solemn lie.

BY R. II. sToDDARD.

l saw two maids at the kirk,
And both were fair and sweet:
one was in her bridal robe,
One in her winding sheet.
The choristers sang the hymn,
The sacred rites were read.
And one from life to Life,
Aud one to Death was we'd
Ihey went to their bridal beds
In loveliness and in bloom.
One to a merry castle,
One to solemn tomb.
one to the world of sleep,
Locked in the arms of Love
And one in the arms Of Death,
Passed to the heavens above
One on the morrow woke
IN a world fsin and pain
But the other was happier fer,
And never woke aghin..
