Southern Papers DenOuncing ss Nelly
Gray - as an Abolition Song.

Gray " as an Abolition Song.
My sweet young ladies, you must no
sing Nelly Gray any more. It's :
shocking Abolition song. The south
ern papers generally are circulating o.
enduring a denunciation of it-start
ed by the Eufaula, Ala, Spirit. The
following IS an extract from the arti
Gle
In" "My Darling Nelly Gray" We
have nicely coated sugar pill of pure
abolitionism. 1t runs thus:
" One night went to see her, but she's gone,' tn
neighbors say. -,
The white man bound her with his chain;
They have taken her to Georgia for to wear her lf
away, ~ .Ta-
And she tolls in the cotton and the cane"
While the metre is not captivating
the sentiment is decidedly odious. In
deed, it smacks of what might be con
sidered libelous ON the character o
Georgians. 5.'5 aoa srg
The result of the monstrous tale
:" the neighbors " told the sentimental
wretch, is seen in the next verse:
"My canoe is under water, and my banjo is un
strung. Eufl ea5 g
I'm tired of living any more, ~
Ny eyes shall look downwrads, and my song shal
beunsung,
While stay on the old Kentucky shore"
To relieve such sentimental yaga
bonds from their "tadium " yita," We
recommend their transportation tc
Georgia, to toll like "Nelly Gray il
the cotton and the cane"
"My Darling Nelly Gray" may bt
a very pretty and very sweet one, but
we submit, she does not grace or bene
fit southern society, except where the
Georgian placed her.

How TO MANAGE THE LITTLE osrs..

How TO MANAGE THE LITTLE ONES,
We find in one of our exchanges
the following suggestions, in behalf of
the little folks, (which are deserving of
consideration. The writer says, now
that the warm weather has come let
your children amuse themselves out of
doors. Don't keep them shut up like y
house plants, until they become as pale
and thin as ghosts. Strip off the fine;
ry, put on the coarse garments, and
turn them ont to play in the sand-to
make "mud cakes"--to daub their
faces with anything of an " earthly ma
ture," which will have a tendency to
make them look as though they had
entered into copartnership with the
dirt. Keep them in the house and
they viii soon look like, and be of
about as much value as q potato
which grows in the cellar, pale, puny,
sickly, sentimental wrecks of humani-
ty. Turn them out, we say, boys and
girls, and let them run, snuff the pure
air and be happy. Who cares if they
do get tanned I? Leather must be tan
ned before it is fit for use, and boys
and girls must undergo the hardening
process, before they are qualified to
engage in the arduous duties of active
life. ss.,uaas sar

ing. And besides he did not know as
he wished to marry. He was wei
satisfiediwith his estate of condition ,
when he was at home. To be sure
he did feel uneasy and dissatisfied all
the while he. was abroad. He did miss
his sister so-and May-oh how glad
he was to see them when he returned
and how strange he thought it was
that May didn't rush at him in the hall
and hug and kiss him just as his sister
did; but he took full satisfaction of the

May came very near sighing, but she
did inot-at least not audably. How
many still-born sighs there are in the
world. 1t is well it is no crime to
smother them at their birth. ot
Well, Rossiter sat studying that still
stern face before him, and he thought
new thoughts-new as to their present
relations.
"May," he said, at length, "May,

And he led the embarrassed and
blushing May into the presence of his
sister, and admitted her to the great
rejoicing; and in a few weeks from
that day, Rossiter and May were no
more twain, but one flesh. Nobody
knows what month may bring forth !;
nor to what the simplest question may
