LINES TO A SISTER.

Why speakest thou such sadd'ning things.
Why rouse thee up pale memIy's train,
Dost thou not know my heart still elings,
Aisund those buried joys in vaing
My heart is as fading flower,
broken Tyre, or withered Leaf,
For Hope has FLKD-and in her bower.
Nought reigns there now, but silent giief.
Why mock we thus with siren tongue
Ny spirits lamp burns faint and low,
For me there is no wreath of love
To radate nay pale, sad brow.
For me no glorious boon's beqeathed--
Ne blissful meeting here below,
Say rather that my brow is wreathed
With hopes as dead and cold as snow.
Then strike not thou the tender chord
Then rouse not up past joys again,
Oh Speak not thou the mournful word
Loved one, it wrinss my heart with pain.

There are reasons why an Englishman,

County Convention.

The public attention is being turned to
the time when the Republicans and Amer
leans of this County shall unite in an Op-
position County Convention, and select
ticket to be run against the disunion De-
mocracy. OF course it will not be polite
to have this convention until after the two
national conventions have placed the re
suit of their labors before the people. The
Charleston Convention,i it will be recollected
meets on the 23rd inst, and the Chicago
Convention will convene on the 10th day
of May. From May until October there in
tervenes FIVE months, - certainly long
enough to exhaust all the powers of the
candidates IN electioneering and the people
10 being electioneered.
We ,oiH suggest, therefore, that Saturday,
the 26th day of May, be the time for holding
an Opposition Conuention in this County.
The great issues upon which the Presi-
Dental campaign is to be fought will be
then before the people, and the two great
parties of the country will be in hostility,
the one against the other.
If there is no objection to this time. We
would further recommend the different
townships to hold their township meet
ings at an early day ia the month Of May, t,
and designate delegates to attend the
County Convention. In the township of
Harrison we suggest the propriety of hold
ing ward meetings in each Of the city
wards. and one in the township outside
the wards, for the purpose of also sending
delegates to the County Convention. By
adopting this plan we are satisfied the
wish of the people will be the better rep
resented, and the packing system entirely
avoided. There are candidates for the diff
ferent Offices in the field, and many more
we have no doubt, to come in, From now
until tie 26th of May they will have sufii-
cient time 10 canvass their claims, and from
then until the election in October, the nom
inees can present their claims fer election
We make these suggestions, and wait Il
hear from the friends.
