A TRUE MANHOOD.

A true manhood is sef-sustaining and
self,sustained. It depends upon nothing

sessions or circumstances, it disdains to rest
upon them or claim merit on their account
Lacking these helps, it does not sit down.

it accepts gratefully, aud strives to improve
them-not alone for itself, but for society
also. Indeed, true manhood implies every
uuble sympathy, every generous action, every
lofty virtue, in the common range OF llfo. A
true manhood asks no special fields to dis
play itself 1t can every day develop its
nobility and herUism. Nota gracious word,
smile or act springs to the Impulse OF It's
arge, warm heart, to tighten human want
or lessen human sorrow, but flashes brighter
than a Toledo blade.
True manhood is frm and brave, as it is
mild and gentle, and the best gentleman is
also the trnest man. Gentlest of the gentle

Gentle Of heart and courageous Of soul

true men. They may be found in couIss
and camps, in universities and scnates, but
they also tread the furrew and dwell in the
humb.est 9abius.
The estate of true maahooa cannot be
bought with gold, nor bequeathed by letters
tsstamentary. Iu its essentials it is Cod
given. All other possessions being ''ot the

but ii true manhood is divine, heavenly
gift. And if men at large only knew tho
greatness and preciousness of such manhood
how notler it is in stature and power than

WORDS.

rom THE VOLUME "THEMALoN"-BY W. II.
Ii you believe what you have said
Aud what you said l may believe
There is an end Of Ioubt or dread
There is no need that either grisve.
Words shorn of acts are graceless things,
But acts with words import Deed
And either well from different springs
Sprung out from soils unsown with seed.
Your acts belle your specious words
Your words unhinge your specous acts;
The wolf is humblest when it herds
With ewes, and thus their fear distractg.
do not trust your seeming calm
No more your smiles--you would disguise
The sting J on feel, and thus disarm
Your baseness to the worlds great eyes.
Nor do envy you your state
Much less the means that placed you there
Indifferent to your love or hate
Mine, trust me, IS most calm despair.
The nosome flies that round you wi1g
| would not be, no more than he
Who breathes-that abject, shameless thing
Chained to his oar across the sea.

THE SouTH.-The South now feels her
self as Gagged lion-she knows not her
strength. Once cut loose her binding
and throw her alone on her own
r, sources, and she will in a short period
prove herself the most civilized aud power
full nation on the globe.
Friends of the South let u5 no longer
stand divided. We appeal to you to unite
as friends and patriots in common cause,
having the protection of the Constitution
and the interests of your country alone at
heart. "The night is spent and the day is
at hand" when we should stand by our
rights in the Union. If we taifin this, our
disgrace will swell so high that it will over
shadow the snow capped mountain thero-
tore let US stand prepared to meet every
unjust encroachment with frmness and de-
termination to check its further progress,
and should we tall in this attempt let us
fall with our faces to the enemy 1t is our
earnest desire to preserve the Constitution
and the Union in its original purity, but
when wrong and insult after insult is heapsd
upon rs to our detriment and disgrace, We
say, let this fabric Of government tumble to
the dust, and be buried in eternal oblivion

Ore bright morning Hattie Lee came running
into the school-room, her large black eyes fash

home" said she, and will commence placticing.

"And even the Judge will have to pump his

Ashton.
"Were he to pump lifetime he would obtain
nothing but polluted water" retorted Hattie
Being her war;nest friend, defended her, and a.
