In the good old days Of our forefathcrs,
when plain speaking and hard blows were
in fashion--when man had his heart at
the tip of his tongue, and four feet Of
sharp iron dangling at his side, Hate
played an honest, open part in the theatre
of the world. In fact, when we read his
tory, it seems to have STARRED it" on tho
stage. But now, where is Hate?-who
ever sees its faceg Is it that smiling,
good-tempercd creature, that presses you
by the hand so cordially? or that dignifed
figure of state that calls you its "right
honorable friend?" Is it that bowing,
grateful dependent?.--is it that soft-eycd
Amaryllis? Ask not, guess not; you will
only know it to be Hate when the poison
is in your cup, or the poniard in your
breast. In the Gothic age, grim Humour
painted "the Dance of Death" in our pol
ished century, some sardonic wit should
give us "thc Masquerade of Hate"
Truth is established by delay: falsehood

The rules 10 be obserred IN Practical Life
The following rules were given by the
late Mr.. Jefferson, in a letter to Thomas
Jefferson Smith in 1925.
l. Never put off till tomorrow what you
can do to day.
.. Never trouble others for what you
can do yourself.
3. Never spend your money before you
have it.
4. Never buy what you do not want,
because it is cheap.
5. Pride costs us more than hunger,
thirst and cold.
6. We never repent Of having eaten
too little.
7. Nothing is troublesome that we do
willingly.
s. How much pain have those evils
cost us which never happened.
6. Take things always by the smooth
handle.
10. When angry, count ten before you
speak; if very angry, hundred.
New times demand new measures and new men;
The world advances and in time outgrows
The laws that in our fathers days were best
And doubtless, after u.s. some purer scheme
Will bc shaped out by wiser men than we.
Made wiser by the steady growth Of truth

The grasses, flowers and laccs,
That on the little bonnet threw
Now beauty DER fair faces.
And hid, and lost the glossy braids,
The dark or golden tresses,
That, from its light-worn bondage FREQ,
The gentle air caresscsi
No wonder woman's brow should flush
With feet but angry passion,
Thus fettered to the chariot wheels,
OF every foolish fashion!
And IL there no Utoplan cline
Amid the ocean islands,
Or some green vale Of Eden hid
Within the distant highlands.
Where one may wear just what they wish
On everyday and Sunday,

THE New OYSTER BED.-Thosc famous
shell-fish, discovered in bed mile long
in extent in Long Island Sound, last Au-
gust, will never tickle the palates Of the
oyster-eaters. The whole thing was a
failure. The oysters, it appears, had lain
in their briny bed too long to relish less
saline locality. Consequently, when re-
moved to fresh one, they took sick, be-
came annotated, and are now dying by
thousands, not exactly Of consumption, but

Selected goetry.
NATHAN HALE.
ny FRANCIS NJ. PINCH, ITHACA.

[The following spirited and beautiful poem is
,rt Of the one read several years ago, before one
c literary societies Of Yale College, of whiS
ATTAIN HALE was a member. II has never befo
zen published l-B,9aio Patriot q Journal.
And one there was, his name immortal now,
Who died not to the rythm Of rattling steel,
Or battle march of spirit stirring drum,
But fnr from comrades and from friendly camp,
Alone upon the scafiold.
To drum beat and heart beat,
A soldier marches byj
There is color in his cheek
There Is courage in his eye;
Yet to drum beat and heart beat,
In moment he must die.
By starlight and moonlight
lie seeks the Briton's camp,
He hears the rustling flag,
And the armed sentry's tramp,
And the starlight and moonlight
His silent wanderings lamp.
With slow tread, and still tread,
lie scans the tented line,
And he counts the battery guns
By the gaunt aud shadowy pine;
And his slow tread, and still tread,
Gives no warning sign.
A dark wave, plumed wave,
Meets his eager glance,
And IL sparkles meath the stars,
Like the gllmmer Of q lance;
A dark wave, plumed wave
Upon an emerald expanse.
A sharp clang, n steel clang,
And terror in the sound,
For the sentry, falcon-eyed,
In the camp spy has found
With sharp clang steel clang,
The patriot Is bound.
With calm brow, and steady brow,
lie listens to his doom,
In his look there is no fear
Nor shadow trace of gloom,
But with calm brow, and steady brow,
lie robes him for the tomb.
In the long night, the still night,
lie kneels upon the sod,
And the brutal guard withholds
Fen the solemn word Of God;
In the long night, the still night,
lie walks where Christ has trod.
In the blue morn, the sunny morn,
lie dies upon the tree,
And he mourns that he can loso
But one life for Liberty;
In the blue morn, the sunny morn,
His spirits wings are free.
But his last words, his message words
They burn, lest friendly eye
Should see how proud and calm
A patriot could die:
With his last words, his message words,
A soldiers battle cry.
From Fame-lea and Angel.lcaf,
From monument and urn,
The sad Of earth the glad Of heaven,
His magic fate shall learn;
And on Famc-leaf, and Angel-lcaf,
The name Of HALE shall burni

Speech Of Hon..A. G. Brown.

.. . We have devoted most of our first
page to-day to the publication of,his
able and mastery document; and we
feel assured that none of our readers
who feel any interest whatsoever in
the political questions of the day,
will quarrel with us tor it. 1t is a
bold, open, and out spoken express
sion of the authors views and senti-
mcnts with regard to Congressional
enactments for the protection OF
slavery in the Territories; showing, as
we conceive. beyond honest cavil OF
doubt, the necessity Of such interven-
ton in order to secure to the South
her rights and equality under the Fed
eral Constitution. Senator Brown is
no demagogue--no party stickler-
neithcrIis he a wanton schismatic; he
desires union and harmony in the
Democratic ranks, but he will mol
stiae his honest convictions in order
to secure it; he will not have it at the
sacrifice of principle. Mississippi may
well be proud of all her delegation in
Congress--"they are all honorable
men," conspicuous and active in every
measure affecting the interests ofther
constituents-but of none more so
than Senator Brown. Read the
Speech; it will certainly please you,
if you are at heart true Southern
man.-Sunny South. B. ...a ....H

the fugitive slave clause of the Con
stitution of the United States, upon
the failure of which the Union party
of 1851 declared it would DO the duty
Of Mississippi to dissolve .he Jnion.--
The provisions of the New York bill
imposed a severe penalty upon any
citizen who assisted in the reclama-
ton of a fugitive slave--no matter if
| he kept within the strict letter Of the
law Of Congress on the subject |!
iprovided for the appointment by the
Governor of an attorney in every
county, whose duty it should be to
appear and defend any negro claim
ed as fugitive from labor, while Al
the same time il enacted that any at
torney who appeared and acted a.
counsel for the claimant Of any slave
should forever be declared, from prac
ltlcing in any Of the Courts Of tha
State. Various other provisions o
equally Infamous itnport were incor
