THE PRINCE OF WALEs.-The coming Prince
of Wales is no genius, ifw may believe the best
accounts. He is said to have been from his
childhood uncommonly dull, and unimpressible
by such objects as generally gain the attention of
children. His mental condition was such as to
excite great and constant anxiety in the mothers
mind; and the first medical men in the kingdom
were called in frequent and anxious consultation
on the subject. They united in recommending
ming and forcing his weak intellect, his guardi-
ans should give him light and agreeable exercise
of mind as well as Of body. This course was
adopted; and the result is that child of natural
ly feeble powers, by good management, has been
reared into youth of barely respectable intelli-
gence.

RESTING BY THE WAYsIDE.--Along our earth
" tourney we all have little resting hooks from
which we may peep out at the passing throng,
look back at the weary ones we have tired, and
gaze along the meandering thoroughfare which
is darkened by those who are nearing the end of
a brief pilgrimage. Old men have grown dark to
passing objects while we have been looking out,
and the choristers of heaven have hailed their APP
proach beforet the multitude's advancing footsteps
have ceased to be heard on the uneven road
Little children have strayed from the pathway,
and celestial heralds have hailed the God-stamped
on their entrance to the mansion DER which the
Deity presides. Thus it is, myriads ofthe worlds
creatures are going out, while the others record
the egress from the wayside.-[ Mt. Messenger

The Grit Bare-Legged Laddie.

Sixty years ago a stout bony youth ofeigh,een
years old, who had been known among his neigh
borhood as ga grit bare-legged laddie," called on
a poor village schoolmaster, and said:
Il would like to attend your evening school,
4sWhat do you wish to study?" asked the teach
81 want to learn to read and write"
The teacher looked into the lads face with
somewhat scornful glance, shrugged his should
ers, and said
livery well, you can attend"
Now, if that bony lad had said to the teacher,
ftI mean to become great inventor, to be the
companion of rich and noble men, to hold con-
versation with kings, and to write my name am
ong the great men of the world" l dare say the
teacher would have called the boy fool, for
cherishing such wild dreams. Yet that poor bo-
nv lad, who at eighteen did not know the alpha
bet, did all these things before he died.
Who was he? His name was George Stephen
son, the great railroad pioneer. He was the son
of a fireman of pumping engine in colliery.
His birthplace was cottage with clay foor,
mud walls and bare rafters. He had to help earn
his living from his earliest years, first by heding
cows and barring up the gates OF the mine at
night. Next he was put to picking stones from
the coal, and after that to driving horse which
hauled coal from the pit. By-and-by, he was
made assistant fireman to his father. When he
was IL he was made plugman to pumping en-
gine-a higher post than his fathers-and had
climbed, as it seemed, to the top of his ladder
What hope was there for youth who could not
read at seventeen!
But George had hope in his breast His en-
gine was a 1esson-book to him. He took it apart
and put it together again, studied it, loved it, and
when he was told there were books which told
about engines, he made up his mind to go to
school,
To school he went, and soon learned all that
the village masters could teach. When twenty
years old he was made brakesman, and began
to think about inventing better engines than he
saw about him.
Thus working, thinking, reading, he kept on,
avoiding all bad habits, until he built locomo-
tive that travelled four miles an hour team
way. This was great affair at that time.
His next work was railway sight miles in
length, and from this he went on until he
known as the great railway pioneer of the world.
By his own industry, did .'the grit bare-legged
laddie" climb to a very high place among men.
Great men, and even kings, sought his advice,
wealth flowed into his purse, and his name was
honored, and his character respected.

THE UNION.
BY MRS. SARAH T. BOLTON.


BY MRS. SARAH T. BOLTON.
seTHE UvIoN-It must be preserved"
Dissolve the Union!-let the blush of shame
Hide, with its crimson glow, the brazen cheek
OF him who dares avow the traitorous aim.
'Tis not the true, the wise, the good who speak
Words of such fearful import; but the weak,
Drunk with fanaticism's poisonous wine,
And reckless of the future, madly seek
To hold their saturnalia at the shrine
Noble souls have held, and stll must hold divine
Dissolve the Unionl-madmen, would ye rend
That glorious motto from our countrys crest!
Would We despoil the stars and stripes, that lend
Home, food, protection to the worlds oppress'ds
Have ye no reverence for the high bequest
That our immortal sires bestowed erewhile?
Has sin defaced the image God impressed
On your humanity, that ye could smile
To see the flames of Freedoms funeral piles
Dissolve the Union!-in the day, the hour,
Ye rend the blood-cemented tie in twain,
The fearful cloud of civil war shall lower
On every old blue hill and sunny plains
From torrid Mexico to frigid Maine,
Andm men will arm, and strange new banners
And pallid women look on kindred slain;
Brothers will battle, and the life-blood lave
The threshold, noble sires and husbands died to
save.
Dissolve the Union!-no, We cannot part
With idle words the blessed ties that bind
In one, the interests of the mighty heart
That treasures the hopes of all mankind
Awhile, perchance the blind may lead the blind,
And men may follow phosphorescent light
From beaten paths to quagmires, ere they md
The ray that shone so beautiful and bright,
Was but phantom lure to deeper, darker night.
Dissolve the Union!-never Ye may sow
The seeds of vile dissension DER the land,
That men may reap in sorrow; We may show
The world your disregard of all its grand,
Eternal interests; but noble band
OF patriots, tried and true, will still remain,
With heart to heart, and sinewy hand to hand,
To guard from foul dishonor's cankering stain
The Jewels God has shrin'd in Freedoms holy
fame.
Dissolve the Union!-no, destroy the page
That gives to human sight the hideous scrawl;
Let not the freemen of future age
Read these detested words; they would recall
Shame, madness, imbecility, and all
That mars the noon-tide glory of our time.
True to the undivided, stand or fall;
To waver now is little less than crime
To battle for the right, is glorious-is sublime!

Rays of Light.

1t is stated that private letters have been received
in Washington from prominent citizens of Georgia
and Alabama indicating more favorable sentiments
in relation to the maintenance of the Union. Al
though decided reaction has taken place. there is
an evident disposition manifested in influential quar-
tiers to postpone final action secession, and await
the development of public opinion in the border
slaveholdng States.
In addition to this the House committee Of thirty
three held their first meeting the 18TH at which
favorable action was taken. Mr. Rust, of Arkansas
offered the following resolution:
"Resolred, That in the opinion OF this Committee
the existing discomfort among the Southern people
and growing hostility their part towards the Fed
eral Government are greatly to DC regretted; and
whether such diScontents and hostility arc are
not without just cause, reasonable and proper con-
stutional remedies and efectual guarantees for the
protection of their peculiar interest recognized by
the national compact such are necessary to pre-
serve the peace of the country and the perpctuty of
the Union, should be promptly and cheerfully gran
ted"
Mr. Morrill,, of Vermont offered an amendment
not so favorable to the South as the above which
was rejected, yeas 9, nays 81. Mr. Ferry, Of Conn,
moved resolution as n substitute, which was re-
jected; whereupon the resolution offered by Mr..
Rust was adopted by the following vote:

FAYETTEVILLE, n. c., Dec. 4, 1860

FAYETTEVILLE, n. C., Dec f. 1860
Editor Of the Standard:
One of the largest and most respectable meetings
of the people of the town of Fayetteville and
ty of Cumberland took place to-day, to consult and
express their opinion regard the alarming crisis
IN national affairs.
The meeting first organized in the courthouse,
but that building proved too small for the vast
throng which had come together, and was adjourned
to Farmers Hall" some fifty feet wide by
two hundred in length, which soon crowded.
The Hon. Jesse &. Shepherd presided as PreSi-
dent, assisted by Daniel McDiarmid and Joel Will
liars Esqs, as Vice Presidents, and MeSsrs. John
A. Pemberton and James c. Dobbn acting as Score
taries.
The committee on resolutions consisted of one
gentleman from each captains district and the pre-
amble and resolutions submitted by them to the
meeting were adopted by large and decisive ma
iority, after having been hotly opposed by squad
of extreme freeaters and many attempts to amend.
by offering as substitute the report of two of the
dissenting members Of the committee, which were
no other than the resolutions passed Saturday night
a week ago at what was called town meeting, and
which were sent in hot haste to the Wilmington
Journal Petersburg Erp, ess and other papers, with
a great flourish of trumpets, as the embodiment of
the opinion Of the people of this place.
The people Of Fayetteville and Cumberland have
now spoken and the noisy ranting of the small
CLIQUE who had determined Ito force their resou-
tons through or break up the meeting" found the
honest men of the country made Of sterner stuff
than to be frightened from what they believed to be
their duty by so insignificant body of raw recruits
as was marshalled for the fight. Sosure were these
fire-eaters of carrying through the meeting their
IRENE notions, that it is said that at a caucus the
night before they agreed upon and had prepared a
secession flag which was to have been raised at the
close ofthe meeting, had they succeeded in passing
their resolutions; but thanks to the good sense of
the people, the plans of these selfconsttuted apos-
ties of liberty, (who have nothing at stake, and
therefore nothing to lose let things go as they may
were foed, and their ultraism sgnally rebuked.
You will see from the proceedings of the meeting
that every effort was made by this clique to have
the Governors views" endorsed, but in every
shape presented, they were rejected by large ma
jorities.
You will notice the recommendation in the con-
Guiding resolution adopted about the re-organiza-
ton of the militia and the formation of volunteer
corps "if, in the opinion of the Legislature, they
may deem it necessary" This was consented to by
the meeting to soften the fall of the youngsters who
at the conclusion Of the meeting, found it very
essary to be thankful for very small favors.
Yours, &c, B.

A VOICE FROM TENNEssEE.-At a mass meeting
of the people of Greene county, Tennessee, held on
the oath of last month, the following among other
resolutions adopted:
"ResolUed, That we deeply sympathise with our
sister Southern States and freely admit that there
is good cause Tor dissatisfaction and complaint on
their part account of the recent election of Sec
tional candidates to the Presidency and Vice-Pres
dency of the United States; yet we as portion Of
the people of a save-holding community, are not
for seeding or breaking up the Union of these
States, until every fair and honorable means have
been exhausted in trying to obtain on the part Of
the non-slaveholding States compliance with the
spirit and letter of the Constitution, and all its
guarantees, and when this shall have been DONE and
the States in open rebellion against the laws of
the United States in refusing to execute the Fugitive
slave law, shall persist in their present uncon-
stitutional course and the Federal Government
shall fail refuse to execute the laws in good faith
it. 1.-THE government will not have accomplished the
great design of its creation and will therefore in
fact be practical dissolution and all the States as
parties be released from the compact which formed
the Union"
The meeting was ably addressed by Hon. Andrew
johnson in support of the resolutions The above
resolution no doubt embodies his views as to the
proper course to be pursued in the present crisis.
