20, Don't You Remember
sY FRANCES D. GAGE.

Oha don't you remember the school house,
dear Kate, e a
Where we frst learned our A c, Twait
And the old beech tree where Frank used to
Every morning for you and mef
You have not fcsgcttsn dear Frank, I am sure
With his eyes 40 laughing and blue;
For Of all the girls Of our district school,
There was mono he loved like you.
And don't you remember Miss Betsy, Kate,
Our school ma'am 90 tall aud slim
How she combsd up her hair Der a'oushion Sc
storm 80 .aaf -
She was kind and true--though her look wat
And she taught us to count and spell,
And for all Of the ferrullings now and then
We loved the old school ma'am we'll. - -
And don't you remember tho walnut, Kate,
That stood by the school house door,
Where We used to sit in the summer hours,
And study our lessons cert
And our play house, too. with its sunny seat
Where We went ct noon time to play;
And the hang birds nest in the oak hard by
That We watched from day to oayf
And don't yeu remember the grape vine swing
That hung from that oak 90 high,
Where Frank used TO swing as SO merrily-
Dear Frank, with his deep blue sye;-- 5l.pe
And Henry, oo,-but my tears s~ill start,
Dear Kate, when I think Of himi
sIis many ayear since his pulse grew still,
And the light Of his eye grew dimi
And there's many more--many more, dear Kat,
That We loved. In our childhood's hours,
Who have passed away from this green, brigh
Ia world 3 IS s
Like the dew from the morning howersl
But We miss them now, ON hfssA pathway, Kate
For the loving, the good and true, eese
Whose spirits will hover around to bless
In this ehanSsful world are few.
With its ice 30 strong and glare,
Where We used to 60 In the moonlight time
To slide In the old arm chair &
, And don't you remember the night dear Kate
Z When We ooaxed ouf mothers to 60,
And We pushed them about with such mirth
dear Kate, sa.Y
OIL such joyfwe may not know.
No longer alares In the sun; ~
And our mothers alsep in the new church yard
Their work and their play are done.
On the spot whore the school house stood
dear Kate,
In the church-yard, silent and sad, ~
And the merry shouto of childhood, now
Never makes the old play ground glad.
OF all things that were loved 80 well,
Dear Kate, BY you and me,
There's left but ons-'tis the walnut old
And onr Frank sleeps beneath that tree.

THE DREAM OF LOVE.

81 T. .T
I've Had the hsa.t-ache many times,
4 At the mere mention Of . name
I've never woven In my rhymes,
Though from II Inspiration came.
It ~ In truth . holy thing,
Life-chsiished from the world apart
a dove that never tries its wing,
Bat brocds and nestlss in the heart.
That name OF melody recalls
Her gentle looA and winning ways
Whose portrait Mangs on Memory's walls,
In the fond light Of other days.
IN the dream-land Of Poetry,
Rscl:ning in its leafy bowers,
Her bright eyes In the stars see,
And her sweet semblanoe In the flowers.
Her artless dalliance and grace
Tho Joy that lighted mp her brow
The sWeet'expression Of her face
: Her fsrm-it, stands before mo nowl
And can fancy that hear
The woodland songs she used to sing.
Which stole to my attending ear,
Z Like the n-st harbingefs Of spring.
The beauty Of the earth was hers,
And hers the purity Of heaven;
Alone, Of Al her worshippers,
TO me her maiden VOWS were given.
They little know the human heart,
4 Who think such love with time expires;
Once kindled, IL will ne'er depart,
Bat burn through life with all its fires.
We parted doomed no moro to meet
q The blow fell with stunning power
And yet my, pulse will strangely beat
At the remembrance Of that hour!

s. with box of his fruit as a token Of sympathy.
There Is, doubt, much honesty and hearty
ieelinga the bottom of these coarse and noisy de-
monstrations, but therSis also deplorable want
of decOrum and seIf-respect. Mr.. Sckles, after
all, has not saved his country, has not amended
her institutions, or vindicated her laws. He has,
under what may be considered an intoerable
prOvocation, sent an erring fellow. creature to
his last account, without one feeling of mercy,
without one moment of respite. For this he
receives applause and cOngratulation such as
no living american citizen, however fair and
untaimted his character, has been thought wor-
thy to receive. 1t is also a distinguished merit
of trial by jury that the jurors come from the
body of the people, and return to it when they
have discharged their duty, unknown and I'm
questioned. But here we have the jurors made
the objects of public ovation, their words
treasured up us oracles, and their most insgnit-
cant acts chronicIed with morbid avidity. Are
not those who are entrusted with high Judicial
functions sufficiently prone to court popularity
without being thus stided by vulgar incense,
and is not the mind of man already sufficiently
prone TO bloody redress Of injuries without
deifyinSzrevcngc and homicide in the person of
Mr. Sickes?

Sickles and his Wife.

The New York Tribune of Tuesday has
the following:
We are credibly informed from various
sources that the Hon. Daniel F. Sickles has
become entirely reconcied with his wife, aud
is now living with her in marital relations as
before the death of the late Philip Barton
Key. We are also assured that in taking
this remarkable step, Mr. SickleS has aienated
himself from most if not all Of those personal
and political friends who devotedly adhered
to him during his recent imprisonment and
trial.
The reconciliation between Mr. and Mrs.
Sickles was consumrnated, as we are informed,
while Mr.. S. was residing at tue house OF
friend on the Bloomingdale Road, about half
mile from the former house of Mr.. S., which
for some time past Mrs. Sickles has occupied,
either alone or with some Of the members OF
her own family. The suspicious of his host
were excited by the repeated absence of MIR.
S. at unusual hours; and when he came in
very early one morning he was interrogated
by the hast and another friend who was pres
ent, and on his positively denying their
right to question him, and refusing to give an
explanation, they shook hands with him for
tue last time and he withdrew. 1t is said be

mate associates, notifying them formally of
the resumption Of conjugal relations between
himself and Mrs. SickleS,

Mr.. JOHN HUIEr-Dem Sir: Absence from
home has prevented my answering your letter Of

/ do not think the Camel will entirely supersedc
the mule. For many purposes should prefer the
former, especially upon your strong land. They
will not do as well upon slippery ground. In such
case the load must be lcssencd, and then tho Camel
moves very slowly--but cautiously however, and
would scarcely fall. These came from strong
country, and will therefore suit your lands. The
hoof is found proof against the rocks of their own
home. and also against the short flint rocks Of
Western Texas.
They cannot be offered here ats15O. From 5000
to $3.50 am assured riN not pay the original cost
and the cost of transportation. That is S20C for
yearling Colts, and $3.50 for full grown Cumels
from to 9 years old. Intermediate ages between
those limits, increasing in price they increase
in age, up to years.
For breaking up and bedding your "strong and
sandy" lands, you would find the Camel to answer
an admirable purpose. They would pull much
larger plow than mule, md plow the land deeper.
Then for hauling purposes, two full grown Cumels
in good order, would draw rs much US four ordi-
nary mules-or if you preferred packing them,
you could put on each Camel two bales of cotton,
or two horse wagon load Of oats, or to 20 bush
els of corn, and send in this way your cotton to
market your oats to the crib, your corn to mill
A great deal of the work on plantation, as you
are aware, is light work, and it is desirable it
should be performed euickiy-such a. running
around cotton when yonng; l should prefer
mule, because could 20 closer to the cotton with
o light plow than with ~ large one as you would
put after Camel.

The Storm Oh "Wednesday.

We were visited on Wednesday afternoon,
about five o'clock, with a severe storm oil
wind and rain, accompanied with heavy thun-
der and vivid lightning. We did not hear Of
any material damage done.
At the Bath Paper Mill in South Carolina,
and about six miles below this city, we learn
that the lightning played antic tricks, During
tho storm, a large fiery ball descpdded, until
just over tue Paper mill, when it exploded
with loud report and flew off in all direc-
t.'-ns. Some pieces, apparently, about the
size of vans hand, skipped over the ground
and on the surfa, "a Of the water in tho canal,
while other portions ell, .tered the mill: No
serious camage was done. One 'nau . ~ tne
engine room was proStrated-onc rece..
shock on one Of his feet-and another was
struck between the shoulders. A ball of fire
passed between two men who were not more
than three feet apart, and while one was in
stantly whirled around several times, the
other received no shock whatever. 1t may
be useless to add, that the operatives in the
mill were badly frightened.
The Bath Paper mill is well protected with
lightning rodS.-Augusta Consttutionalist.

Consistency,..Thou art a Jewel.


Mr.. YANcEY, in his Columbia speech, dcplores
the prospect of non-expansion by the South, and
looking to that cousummation says:
"We must be content to exist like the girdled
tree, lingering out feeble existence, in short
time to die under the influence of such policy"
But little while afterwards, having occasion to
exult over the ability of our section to take care of
itself, he a!so says:
''We have eight millions of people educated to
soSsrhment S priheipIes, With
US much real spirit md munhoDd as was ever pos
sessed by any people. We have unity of pruduc-
ton, unity oil institutions aud compact country.

Of prosperity. When our fathers resisted the whole
might of England, they were scattered along the
seaboard of the Atlantic. They possessed no such

We possess; they had no such arms or means OF
manufacturing arms such as We possess. They

Ruuoa OF New PoL1rIcAL MOVEMENT
The Athens (Tenn.) Post gives currency to
the following rumor:
"Rumors are afoat to the effect that there
will shortly be meeting of prominent Demo
crat, of Louisiana, Mississippi, Virginia, Ala
bama, Georgia and South Carolina, to take
counsel upon the condition of the party, and
to discuss the expediency of letting the Char
lestcn Convention go By default. The party
in the free States has become so thoroughly
freesoilized that they utterly despair of elect.
ing sound Democrat in 1860, and regard q
union with the Southern opposition and the
conservative men of the North and West, as
the only means Of defeating the Black Re:
publicans in the Presidential contest Of the
approaching year. 1t is said the movements
only await the termination Of the elections
in Tennessee and Kentucky. Should the op-
position carry those two States, Of which there
is now but little doubt, it will Immediately go
forward"
