"MY SISTERS LOVE-
Rr so. Ca
Nearest the fountain of my heart
There blooms beauteous flower,
Whose fragrance forms the happiest part
Or many a joyous hour.
With it my choicest thoughts I Ali,
And gather from above
The purest rains which Heavens distill,
To dew my Sisters Lowell
l care not for the charms which earth
Has placed upon her brow;
value not the childish mirth
That fingers even now;
For on, the gem cherish most
While in life's path move
The prize that is my purcst boast
Is my sweet Sisters Lowell
Ny gentle Sister, how prize
Thy many winning ways!
The lorc.lit glances Of thine eyes
Thy simple, artless praise!
Bu. when in heartfelt, silent prayer
lift my thoughts above,
The thanks offer ;ruest there
Is for my Sisters Lowell
NJ Sisters Love- Oh, bright it shines
With it neec will part
4 hsau,eous Gower which hourly twines
Around my iE.uost heart
Others have loved me. and may be,
As true us Heaven may prove,
But there is still more dear to me,
Ny gentle Sisters Love

Fort SrMrEG FIRED lSro FROM CcNNINe's
Polxr.-lt appears that Fort Sumter received
its frst shot from tie South Carolinians on
Friday. The Charleston "Alercury" Of Sasur.
day has the following account OF the "bom.
bardnent"
At all early hoar yesterday morning, while
the gunuers were firing blank cartridges from
the guns of The iron battery at Cummings
Point, ono of the guns loaded with ball, tho
men rot being aware Of the fact was dischars-
cd. The bali struck the wharf Of Fort SUN:
ter, close to the gate. This, it appears, caused
some excitement in the garrison of Fort sum
ter for three or four Of the ports fronting Cum
mings Point were soon after thrown open
No warlike reply to the unintentional shot was
given, however, aud about two hours after
wards boat was sent over to explain the &C.
currencs 10 Major Anderson. The Major re-
c.iyed the message in good part, and thus the
matter ended, after having caused 10 little talk
a, the harbor, forts and in the city.

LITTLE FLORENCE.
BY DAVID RAESfDE.

By DAVID RAEs1DE.
Little Florence fond and free,
Playing By the appae.tree,
Laughing on her mothers knee
Srnbcams slatl,ipg on her hair,
Flowing wrea:hes of lowerets fair
Dangling from her in the mir.
Fast and faster 20 her fee,
Where !he grass and sunshine meet:
joyful Florence Life is sweet,
Little Florence, mild and meek,
Trouble locking from her cheek.
Scarcely can see, move or speak-
Looks out to the falling rain
All mothers cares are vain;
Pillows may not ease her pain.
G!adness has a fitting will
How came she to taste OF llf
Joy is eyanescent still.
Little Florence, weak and worn,
Like faint star left forlorn,
Trembling on the point Of morn
Angel forms are in the air,
Fitting on the golden stair,
Bearing ups mothers prayer.
Little Florence, cold and dead,
Green grass growing overhead,
Waiting for thy wonied tread
Lying by the apple-tree,
Sunshine comes to look for thee
Comes 10 crown the wonted glee.
Aud thy mother leaves her home,
Cones here. where she used to come
Silent Florcace! Death is dumb.
Little Florence, clothed in white,
Looking back upon the night
Standing in the shadeless light
Walking up the golden street,
Sitting at the Sayiour's feet
Where the pure and holy mees
Shadows stood on yonder shoress
Waiting for thee heretofore,
Tney shall Wal. for thee no more.
Thou d;dst pass them Ger the food,
Lett them standing where they stood
Angel Florence God is good.

BURNET's CoCoA1SR.-This is an article
which we can heartily recommend, and that
from knowing its great virtues. One par
ticular case in our family of its efficacy, we
will mention. The person had suffered with
a slow fever, which was most tedious, and
which left her with terrible neuralgia in
the head. The effect Of these complaints
wss to cause much of the hair To fall OF,
and there seemed to be no power in the skin
to give life to what remained. After she
had tried some other preparations with no
good results, we procured for her bottle Of
Coc0diae, and the change which its use soon
made was truly remarkable. The roots of
the hair at once received new life, and be-
fore bottle had been used, the large spot
upon the top of the head which appeared TO
be bald, was covered with what seemed a
new growth of hair. And now she has as
fine and healthy head of hair as before her
sickness. This Cocoaine is also valuable
article for childTens hair, which is apt to be
dry. A very small quantity will keep their
hair moist and their heads clean.
What we say Of this article we say from
our own actual knowledge, not for the sake
Of putting the Cocoaine, but because we
think others may be benefited by our expe-
Iience.--Boston Ohristidn Freeman.

The Union Feeling in the South-PublIc
Opinion In North Carolina.

The Union Feeling in the SOuth-Public
OpiBion In North Carolina.
A correspondent Of the New York E5ening
Post writes from Raleigh, N. c., on the Goth
inst: 4aa f. ir. n.H
The people ofthis State are for the Union
now and forever. The result in our late
election was not brought about by the rich
men, but it was an uprising of the working
men, who are determined not to be led by
the Secessionists into Oonfederacy where
the poor man will be subject to such laws as
will necessarily make him poorer, and where
he will perhaps be exposed to all the horrors
of civil war-all for the benefit of the aris-
tocratic slave owner.
If the Secesslonists of the Border slave
States were the most rabid Abolitionists in
the land, they could not adopt more effect
uni mode of driving slavery out ofsaid States,
and Of eventually making them free, than to
effect their Secession from the Northern
States. Were the Border States to follow
the example of the seeding States, twenty
| five years would not elapse before slavery
| would have nothing more than than NOM
inal existence in all the Border States.
While this latter, result would be "a con.
summation most deVoutly to be wished
for it is acknowledged ON all hands that but
for the blight Of slavery these Border States
would eventually become the wealthiest and
most populous of any of the States of the
Union-the men in these States who "earu
their bread by the sweat of their brow" car
not be made, even to accomplish so desirable
an end, to relinquish the blessings theJ
are deriving from Government from which
they have never endured an oppression, anC
under which they have always been thriv
ing, contented and happy.
Since the appearance of the Presidents
| Inaugural few Douglas Democrats, who
were never very firm in their Union senti.
ments, have sided with the Secessionists
They affect to regard its language as threat
to coerce the Seeding States, and excuse
themselves for going over upon those
grounds. If all the Douglasites in this State
were to go over it would not detract much
from the strength of the Unionists nor ado
materially to that of the Seeessionsts, fol
Douglas only received about 1000 votes il
the whole State in the last Presidential con
test. 7
Let the Administration but pursue tn
peaceful policy indicated by its recent acts
and you may rely upon it Secession will, il
a short while, be killed stone dead in all th
Border States, and ii you kill it in thes
States it is bound, sooner or later, to die ou
in all the States south of us, for it is unprof
liable that so few people as those States con
tain can bear the heavy burdens of taxation
which will necessarily be imposed upOl
them. ...
The Secessionists of this State are strain
ing every nerve TO create disunion feelin
in this old State but they "can't come it.
The people here are naturally hard TO NOV
out of old habits. Put the question to-mol
row to them U nion or Disunion-and the
would vote it down by 10000 majority.
