So gentle and 30 fair.
With sunny eyes and golden hair,
How beautiful thou art,

What all the future Will reveal,
The goodness ofthy heart,
In thy blue eyes see
The hidden waves OF sympathy
For all that's pure and good.
And on their socthing Greats,

Made faint by Sorrows food
Aud stu psp life may be
But filed with dreams ofmSstery,
Drawn out by sorrows hand;
While all thy hopes Of love
Stay only bloom TO prove
There is q better iaHd
The purest hearts of earth
Are often at their very BIRTH
Made known to griefRnd care;
But lie who rules the storm
Will shield thy life from every harm
And save thee from despair.

NATURAL IIIEtory-Tne Flirt.

This brilliant insect of the butterfly
species is common to all ATTITUDES. but
fOurishcs best in warm climate. 1t rev.
els in the atmosphere of the ballroom,
matinee, the artistic reunion; and while 1t
loves publicity, it is not 10th to lurk i'll
shaded covcs, or to nestle among cushions
in quiet corners.
The plumage of the female Flirt is very
dnzzling. It is clad in the most radiant
smiles and compliments of the softcst and
most delicate shades, while its eyes have
strange, deep and penetrating lustre.
1t diffuses faint yet thrilling perfume,
caught from crushed flowers, scent-bags,
billet doux Its music is low persuasive
hum. it can be true to no tune but sings
snatches and at the piano runs over the
KEYS with light and tremulos touch.
The volatility Of this insect hns long
perplexed naturalists. 1t battles pursuit
Strange to say, it dtssoives at the touch,
and when caught it is handful of ashes,
cold and colorless.
The sting of the Flirt is very severe.
Some say it is poisonous. Instances have
been known where it has proved fatal to
happiness and hope. II id Inflicted with
perfect impartiality, but it seems to strike
deepest into the fresh aud honest hearts.
The Flirt lunguisnes at the first chill
breath of sorrow. When storm Is lis tue
air it is pitiful to see it seeking shelter, its
gay plumage so beaten and soiled, and the
color and the perfume gouc, and the low
inviting music changed to despHiring
| plant.
The fame that flutters around generally
burns at last, as is the case with many d
! poor MOTH VInity Fair.

We have received pamphlet copy of that re-

True History of Deacon Giles's Distillery," which
is now being republished and illustrated by Thos

for paper called the Salem Landmark" pub

young man, was engaged in the ministry. It pro-
duced great sensation at the time, and the whole
fraternity were in arms about it. Cheever
was arraigned before court of justice. The re-

a SOUTHERN SCENE.

The following is an extract from Blake,
or the Huts of America" the publication
of which, in the "Anglo-African Magazine"
was suspended, but will be resumed, we
are pleased to announce, in the course of
a month or two. The transaction took
place in Mississippi, as can be proved:
sportthe Colonel has been telling us about"
said the Major
Blamed if don't think the Colonel will
have me advertised as Snowman present
~! PVe got queer animal here; I'll
show him to you after dinner" rejoined
Grason. Gentlemen, help yourselves to
brandy and water"
Dinner over, the gentlemen walked in
to the pleasure. grounds in the rear of the
mansion
"Nelse, where is Rube Z Call him."
said Grason to a slave lad, brother to the
boy he sent for.
Shortly there came forward small
black boy about eleven years of age, thin
visage, projecting upper teeth, rather ghast-
~ consumptive look, and emaciated condi-
ton. The child trembled with fear as he
approached the group.
Nov, gentlemen" said Grason, "Pm
going to show you sight" having in his
hand long whip, the cracking of which
he commenced as ring-master in the cir
Gus.
The child gave him a look never to be
torgotten-a look beseeching mercy and
compassion; but the decree was made,
and though humanity quailed in detected
supphcatlon before him, the command was
imperative, with no living hand to stay
the pending consequences. He must sub
init 70 his fate, and pass through the ordeal
of training
wat maus gwine do wild me nowf l
know what maus gwine do said this mis-
eraole child; "he gwine make me see
sights r Then, going down on his hands
and. feet, he commenced trotting around
like an animal.
., Now, gentlemen, lookl" said Grason;
heh whistle, sing songs, hymns, pray,
swear like trooper, laugh, and cry, all
unaer the same state of feelings"
With peculiar swing Of the whip,
bringing lash down upon a certain spot
on the exposed skin, the whole person be-
ing prepared for the purpose, the boy CON-
menced to whistle almost like thrush;
another cut changed it to song, another
to hymn, then pitiful prayer, when he
gave utterance to oaths which would make
Christian shudder, after which he laugh
ed outright; then from the fullness of his
soul, he cried:
80, NAUSEA, rs sick Please stop littlep
casting up gobs of hemorrhage.
Franks stood looking on with unmoved
muscles. Armsted stood beside whiting
a stick; but when Ballard saw, at every
cut, the flesh turn open in gashes streaming
down with gore, till at last in agony he ap-
pealed for mercy, he involuntarily found his
hand with grasp on the whip, arresting
its further application,
mot quite Southerner yet, Judge, if
you Gait stand that p said Franks, on
seeing him wiping away the tears.
Gentlemen, help yourself to brandy
and water. This little negro don't stand it
nigh SO well as formerly. He used to be

e A popular divine tells good story
as hit at those kind of Christians who
are too indolent to pursue the duties re-
quired of them by their faith. He says
that one pious gentleman composed fer
vent prayer to the Almighty, wrote it out
legibly, and affixed the manuscript to his
bed,post. Then, on cold nights, he mere
ly pointed to the document, and with the
words, 80 Lord, them's my sentiments r
blew out the light and nestled amid the
blankets.

ONE BY ONE.


One by one the sands are flowing,
One by one the moments fall;
Some are coming, some are going
Do not strive to grasp them all.
One by one thy duties wait thee
Let thy whole strength go to each
Let no future dreams elate thee
Learn thou first what these can teach.
One by one, bright gifts from heaven,)
Joys are sent thee here below
Take them readily when given,
Ready; too, to let them go.
One by one thy griefs shall meet thee
Do not fear an armed band
One win fade as others greet thee,
Shadows passing through the land
Do not look at life's long sorrow,
See how small each moments pain;
God will help thee for tomorrow,
So each day begin again.
Every hour that fleets SO slowly
Has its task to do or bear
Luminous the crown and holy,
If thou set each gem with care.
Do not linger with regretting,
Or for passing hours despOnd
Nor the daily toll forgetting,
Look too eagerly beyond.
Hours are golden hooks-God's token,
Reaching heaven, but one by one
Take them, lest the chain be broken,
Ere the pilgrimage be done.

"Your analysis of the slave laws is very able,

research. 1t is more easy to make
than to refute charge of exaggeration against
work of fiction, like Mrs. Stoves; but your book
is as impregnable against such charge as Eu-

We have before listened to the homely tale Of
the liberated slave, but it did not impress us as
does this narrative of Douglass, for the reason
that we were left to supply the commentary which
ia here pressed upon us by one who has both seen
and felt what he relates. The story bears through
out the impress of truth, and the manner in which
it 10 told stamps the writer as q man of genius and
o high order Of talent.-Okio State Journal.
This ia splendid work. The personal worth Of
the author, the deserved popularity he has secured
throughout this nation, and the universal desire
that prevails to have a memento of one of natures

having stolen it. She declared the kitten

bank to get specie for some notes which he
had had on hand for long time. They
proved to be on burst-up concern, and

nothing. "Wa'al now, look a-here, mister"
