From the stern fortune, for its light

To make the evening bright.

The Sweetest Drestn.
by HATTIE HE%t


SLOW MY loving Peart Us wondered
Up and down tie ale of dreams;
Sa..aliag up the wejtt reeesses
with a thouss'a glory-beams-
Making all tbday SO happy
with SOM beauty haunted thought,
That. fross out the heeting visions,
/ had ~ some magic caught.
oh. I'VE had sweet dreams of childhood
Dreamed my heart was light and free,
And danced adown the meadow,
ths.shout of childish gse--
gathering the starry blossoms,
Chasing butterfly and bird,
4istnlng TO their ,.a,-atie .lanouaoa
Which my spirit only heara.
And I've dreamed of halls of grandeur,
Where il naughty pride I've dwelt,
While crowd of gold-god servers
Ever at my footsteol knclt;
Pearls and gems were on my hosom,.
On my brow crown of gold
On my lips song of gladness,
But, within, heart so cold.
Then I've dreamed of gorgeous temples,
Where we shrined the Goddess Fame,
And she gave me wreathes of laurel
Told Ae that my simple name
Echoed vide DER land and ocean ~.
That each thought and slightest word
Had, within some human bosom,
Deep the font of feeling stirred.
But I've had another vision,
That has made my warm heart Leaps
Though twas but wild illusion,
would yet the memory keep;
For the world had failed to charm me
With its hollow uttered praise,
And my spirit, sad and lonely,
Sighed for olden, brighter days.
Then noble form stood near me,
And an earnest voice, but low,
as it simply whispered, Darling"
Through my being sent a glow
For knew my heart, SO weary,
Now had found place of rest
Like bird that long had wandered,
Reached at last the dear home-nest.
Gazing now adown the vista
Of the starry realms. of dreams,
Here and there, although The cloud-cliffs,
Bright some ray of beauty streams,
And as all these haunting visions
Come at memory's gentle call,~
SILL this last oneis the brightest -
And the sweetest of them all.

MESSAGE AND INAUGURAL ADDRESS oE THE Gov
ERNoR OF GEoRGIA.-Gov. Browns message is be-
fore u.s. 1t is exclusively devoted to internal affairs
finances, banks education, internal improvements,
and contains recommendations of many useful re-
FORMS In his inaugural address the Governor refers
to Federal politics, and the following sound and
patriotic language, which are sure, is unanimous
y reechoed in the hearts of the Georgia Democracy:
The great contest of 1860, which may decide the
fate of the Union is to be fought between the Black
Republican and the National Democratic parties 1t
is useless to disguise the fact; there be no third
party of power between the two, with any prospect
of success Where shall Georgia stand in this con-
test? Shall she stand united with the Democracy,
or shall she divide her strength, and thereby give
incidental aid to her enemies
look to the National Democratic party as the
last hope of the Union. Destroy its integrity, and
trample under foot its principles, and there is no
longer rational hope for the rights Of the South in
the confederacy. love the Union of :hese States,
and am prepared to make every reasonable sacrifice
to maintain it. so long as it does not violate the
rights of my native South. But should the two
come into conflict, | love the rights of the South
more. and am PREPARED to defend them at any sacri-
flee, and at every hazard In the present condition
of affairs, would advise the citizens of Georgia to
stand united with the National Democracy, so long
as they continue to stand by her rights and to pro-
tect them in the Union But should this organiza-
tion be broken down, and her constitutional rights
he denied and her equality in the Union destroyed
would then advise her citizens to strike for inde-
pendence out of the Union-and to pledge to each
other their lives, their fortunes, and their most
sacred honor" never to forsake each other till
triumphant success shall have crowned their efforts.
My fervent prayer to Almighty God is, that this ne
cessity may be averted-that wisdom, moderation
and justice may control all our national and State
councils that the rights of the State and the

SLAVES IN GEoRGIA.-The report of the Comp
troller General of Georgia shows increase of II
240 slaves in that State during the year just past
The total number of slaves in 1858 was 432, 1874
and in 1859, 443,364 The average value of slaves
in 1858 was 1926 80, and in 1853, $6l2 CO; an in
crease in average value of $50 "a. The aggregate
value of slaves in 1858 was 1927 46S, ,927, and in
1852 $27, ,620 4O5 Thus it will be seen that while
the increase in the number of slaves is ,24O, the
increased value is $44, ,47s This large increase
can only be accounted for by presumng that unu-
sual drafts have been made upon the negro popula-
tion of Virginia and other border slavchoding States
The natural increase could not have reached these
figures.
