LITTLE ACCOUNTS.

LITTLE ACCOONTS'
:Little accounts" you're the.pague of ones life
The cause of annoyance, and worry and strife,
With tradespeople, family, servants, and wife,
Are 'little accounts"
Ye begin at our birth with the doctor and nurse,
And though in after years ye makes holes in our
purse;
Ye come in the CRADLE go out with the hearse.
Oh! "little accounts.
From syntax released, a school-boy so gay,
returned to enjoy my brief holiday,
But mixed with my classical progress there lay
My "litle accounts"
And found when launched on the ocean Of life,
In college se.lusion, political strife,
And een when | took myself fair wife.
There were ''lttle accounts"
The nuptia festivities, supper and ball,
Plate, Jewels, and equipage, footmen so tall,
And presents to bride and bridesmaids end all
Brought ''litte accounts"
Seasons rolled on my wife-Heaven bless her
A leader of ton, and an elegant dresser,
Brought me little accounts" would not dis
tress her
Dear s1ittle accounts"
When Tom got his commission and Jack went t.
| seq,
And Peter chopped logic at Oxford, dye see f?
Whether red, blue or black, their jackets to me
Brought "little accounts"
Their fortunes to favor, their views to advance,
The girls were presented at balls they did dance
Mamma said twas justice to give them chance
Great "little accounts"
At Christmas, the time of thanksgiving and joy,
Which in mirth and festvity all should enjoy,
Alack ! all my pleasures sustain an alloy
In nv little accounts"

ELoPEMENT AND REMoRsE.-A few days
ago, one of our city officials, tired of the
domestic restraints around him thrown by
an exaeting wife, resolved upon clipping
with a young lady with whom he had been
for some time desperately smitten. He
secretly packed his trunks aud conveyed
them to the depot of the Chicago, Alton
and ST. Louis Railroad, and the young lady
aforesaid performed similar operation, and
away they went on the wings of love to St.
Louis. BY and by conscience, that worm
which guaws iuto the very soul of guilt,
seized upon him, and remorse quickly fol-
lowed He wished himself back again by
his deserted freside thousand times.
BY the time he had reached -, little
station few miles this side Of St. Louis, he
was almost frenzied, He had not the moral
courage to reveal his feelings to the partner
of his guilty flight, and meeting deputy
sheriff of this county, he begged him to
extricate him from his predicament. His
friend, the deputy, acceded to the very
reasonable demand, and when the absconding
husband had seated himself in the car, no
walked up to him, and reading bogus wars
rant, arrested him, and took him out of the
car just as it was moving off, leaving the
damsel to pursue her journey alone.

SLAVERY IN MASSACHUSETTS,
eighty years ago negro slave ran away
from his master in the town of Chelmsford
The master mounted his horse, pursued and
caught the runaway in what is now the town
of Groton. Here he tied him to the tail oi
his horse and then rode rapidly home, com
pelling the negro to run or be dragged
The poor chattle was nearly dead when he
arrived at his owners house, and did moi
long survive the cruel deed. The descen'
dants of this New Englander are living
and some of them are the warmest hater:
of slavery to be found in our neighboripG
towns. -LoceU Citizen.

The Yazoo Democrat. [volume] (Yazoo City, Miss.) 1858-18??, 1860-02-04
LET US BE UNITED.

The year 1860 will be the most trying
year ever known in this country to parties,
to States, and to the Union.
We believe that the only hope for the
Union is to be found in the national dem,
ocratc party, as an organization, sustained
and strengthened by conservative men in all
parts of the country. And we believe that
the best hope for North Carolina is to be
found in the democratic party ofthe state,
which is portion Of the national organizes
ton referred to.
This, then, is no time for new party is
sues or tests in federal or in State affairs
This is no time for disputes about slavery in
the Territories for what do we care for Ter
ritories and embryo States when sovereign
States are themselves in peril Let US hold
infexibly to our principles and opinions on
all questions; but let us remember, at the
same time, that the great question is, how
to save the Union according to the Constitu
ton, and failing, in that how to save the
South.
Let us cultivate union and harmony
among ourselves. The outside pressure up,
on us should at least unite the democratic
party as one man; and let us hope, in addition
to this, that every citizen, without regard tt
party, will exert himself in devising means
and in carrying out means to relieve the
State from her dependence on Northern i'm
portations and Northern fabrics, and to plac,
her in an armor and attitude of defence
The surest way to prevent danger is to pre-
pare for it. Let US present united from
to assailants, We have talked to them lonI
enough let us now show them that in a Ger
tain event we will be ready to act And if
by union among ourselves and due prepar
alton, we convince them that we qcW act
the probability is that the event referred t
will never occur.
