Don,t BE Angry With Me !

Don't Be Angry With Me
Don't be angry with me!
The stormy cloud ispast;
NY heart and eyes are full of tears,
See here! they are falling fast.
You who have never felt the sting
Ofpassion and of pride,
You cannot tell how hard the strife
In which some souls are tried.
Don't be angry with me!
I'll have breathed word
Which should have been to friendships ear
Unspoken and unheard;
Remember if I did not feel
How hard 'twere thus to live.
lwould not ask thee now with tears,
Toelove me and forgive!
o don't be angry with me!
What we're our friendship worth
| If 'twould not bear those few bri6 clouds
That still must visit earth?
Hearts which like seas, most wildly storm,
Are those which deepest dwsll-
How couldst thou Ere my spirit thus,
1t did not love thee well?
0 don't be angry with me!
Twere better far to die
Than feel such love as thine decay,
Such faith and friendship fly!
Did offend thee more than God,
That prayers make no amends
Oh! wipe this memory out in tears,
And let US two be friends.

The true gentleman is Gods servant, the
worlds master, and his own man; virtue is his
business, study his recreation, contentment his
rest, and happiness his reward; God is his fa-
ther, the Church is his mother, the saints his
brethren, and all who need him his friends: de-.
$otion is his chaplain, charity bis chamberlain.
sobriety his butler, temperance his cook, hospi
tality his housekeeper, Providence his steward.
charity his treasure, piety his mistress of the
house, and discretion his porter, to let him in or
out, as most tit. Thus is his whole family made
up OF virtues, and he is the true master Of the
house. He is necesstated to take the world on
his way to heaven; but he walks through It as
fast as he can, and all his business by the way
is to make himself and others happy. Take him
in two words-a Man and q Christian.

Extract from remarks made at Boston, .July 4th
1858, By Hon. EDWARD EVERETT.
81 have lately seen much of this noble coun
try (America,) and have learned, as have seen
it more, to love it better; the enterprising, in
genous and indomitable North; the substantial
and magnificent central States, the great balance
wheel of the system; the youthful, rapidly ex-
panding, and almost boundless West the ardent,
genial and hospitable South; I have traversed
them all. leave to others, at home or abroad,
to ratify them in whole or in part. l shall not
follow the example. They have all their faults.
for they are Inhabited not by angels, but BY hu
man beings; bat it would be we'll, in the LAM
guage of President Strickland, for those who re-
buke their brethren for the faults of men, not to
display themselves, the passions of demons
For myself, have found, in every part Of the
country, generous traits of character, vast and
well-understood capacities of progress, and
hopeful auguries of good; and taken in the ag-
gregate, they are the abode of population as
intelligent, as prosperous, as moral and as re-
ligious as any to be found on the surface of the
globe. There is one little corner of each which
should like to annihilate. If could WELD a
magician's wand, i would sink it to the centre.
Its name is Buncombe--not the respectable
county of that name in North Carolina, against
which have nothing to say-blt a pestilent
little electioneering Buncombe, in every State
and in every district, which is the prolific source
of most of our troubles. If we could get rid of
Buncombe, and if we could bring back the har.
mony which reigned on the day which we cell
ebrate, and the days which preceded and fol-
lowed it, when Massachusetts summoned Wash
ington TO lead the armies of New England, when
Virginia and Carolina sent them supplies of corn
and rice to feed their famished brethren in Bos-
ton; when Jefferson and Adams joined hands to
draft the great Declaration could live to see
that happy day, would, upon my honor, go to
my grave as cheerfully as the tired and content

Twenty Years Ago.
BIZ JOSE. W. JONES.


How wonderous are the changes, Jim,
Since twenty years ago,
When gals wore wooden dresses, Jim,
And boys wore pants Of tow;-
When shoes were made of calfskin.
And socks of homespun wool;
And children did a alf-day's work,
Before the hour of school!
Then girls took music lessons, Jim,
Upon the spinning wheel;
And "practiced" late and early, Jim,
Upon the spinning wheel;
The boys would ride bare back to mill,
A dozen miles or so,
And hurry off before twas day,
Some twenty years ago.
Then people rode to meeting, Jim,
In sleds, instead of sleighs,
And wagons rode as easy, Jim,
As buggies nowadays;
And oxen answered well for teams,
Though now they'd be too slow;
For people lived not half so fast
COuc sWcuty years a&O.
Q, well dol remember, Jim,
That "WiIson's patent stove,"
That father bought and paid for, Jim.
In cloth our gals had wove;-
And how the neighbors wondered
When we got the THING to 60,
And said 'twould BUST and kill US all,
Some twenty years ago!
Yes everything is different, Jim.
From what it used to was;
For men are always tampering, Jim,
With Gods great natural laws
And what on earth we're coming to-
Does anybody know?
For everything has changed SO much
Since twenty years ago?

Miserable Maxims for Married Women.


The unmarried woman who can read this
without indignation, ought to be married:
Let every wife be persuaded that there are
two ways of governing family. The first il
by the expression of that will which belongs tc
force the second the power of mildness to
which every strength will yield. One is the
power OF the husband I; a. wife should never en-
ploy any other power than gentleness. When
woman accustoms herself to say, 81 will" she
deserves to loose her. empire.
Avoid contradicting your husband. When
we smell a rose it is to imbibe the sweets of O.
dor; we look for everything amiable in woman.
Whoever is often contradicting feels insensibly
an aversion for the person who contradicts,
which gains strength by time, and, whatever be
her good qualities, is not easily destroyed.
Occupy yourself only with household affairs,
wait till your husband confides to you those OF
higher Importance, and do not read lectures to
him. Let your preaching be good example,
and practice virtue yourself to make him love
it.
Command his attention by being always kind
to him; never exact anything, and you will at
tain much !; appear always f1attered by the little
he does for you, which will excite him to do
more.
All men are vain; never wound his vanity,
not even in the most trifing instances. wife
may have more sense than her husband, but she
should never seem to know it.
When man gives wrong counsel, never feel
that he has done so, but lead him by degrees to
what is rational, with milduess and gentleness
when he is convinced, leave him to the merit OF
having found out what is just and reasonable.
When husband is out of temper, behave O.
bligingly to him; if he is abusive, never retort,
and never prevail over him to humble him.
Choose well your friends, have but few, and
be careful of following their advice in all mat
ters. Il
Cherish neatness without luxury, pleasure
without excess; dress with taste, particularly
with modesty, vary in fashion of your dress, es-
pecially as regards colors. 1t gives change to
the ideas, and recalls pleasing reflections. Such
things may appear trifing, but they have more
Importance than is imagined.
Never. be curious to pry into your husbands
concerns, but obtain his confidence. Always
preserve economy, avoid being out of temper,
and be careful never to scold by this means he
will find his house pleasanter than any other.
Seem always to obtain information from him.

ABOUT GIRIs.-The best thing about a girl is

her i'll looking, while the young lady who illu-
inmates her countenance with smiles, will be
regarded as handsome, though her complexion
is coarse enough to CRATE nutmegs on. As per-

GRECO-SLAVIC FEDERA TON.
III.

Federation alone remains as the normal, the cas-
lest, and the most progressive and civilizng poltl-
cal form to be substituted for the Ottoman rule.
The countries now under Turkish rule are normal
units. On the disappearance of Sultan, pashas,
and cadis, they will spontaneously organize them
selves by Unborn, vital afinities, and by cohesive
force. The people and the countries must be i'm
proved and civilized. This labor is possible only
under communal and municipal institutions, and
these are more OF less preserved in European
Turkey The maximum of civil education, this
cornerstone of society and of moral discipline, is
obtained in local communities. These checkered
countries will easily find each its own center and
focus, from which light and amehoraton will
radiate more eficaciOusly than from common
Capital. Capitalization may extend over them
spurious semblance of culture, but never reform
them TO the core, never generate new, healthy
life. These populations have been ground for CEN
turtles beneath the most degrading oppression; and
first of all, the sefrespect the dignity Of man is to
be regenerated. Each of the countries and nation
alities of European Turkey has its special charac-
teristics. These can develop only under congeniai
conditions. Capitalization would kill them, fedora
