Nero Ounrtcrs.

In times like these, We doubt the prudence Of
leaving negroes quartered on farms without
white person to surcrintend them. The places
are apt to become the resorts of night.walkers,
and might become the unsupported harborage of
mi<chief,-especially when these farms are not
within the scope Of strict patrol surveillance.
Constant pa,rolng would remove apprehension
to great extent; and this, at least, should not
bo neglected in cases Of the sort.

For the Advertiser,
Lines to the Memory of Laura A. Penn.

Too lovely for thi, sin-staincd earth,
Wa, she who captured every heart;
None knew, but loved her gentle worth:
her life was. Love, the greater part.
Her thrilling voice we'll hear no more:
Her speaking eyes no longer bright;
But where angelic anthems pour,
There Laura dwrlls in realms Of light.
The Mother Of the early dead,
To Earth hy many tie rtil bound,
Full many bitter tear will she'd
Ger TINT green turf-her sacred mound
Yet rs thou weepst remember too
She has escaped all toll and strife;
The real grief, the dream untrue,
That mark. each phase of human life.
Her Father too once proudly called,
Tint earth-cAred jewel all his own;
Though now bereaved, by gloom en,hrallod,
Her life hath on ,by path once >hone.
Think Of her Oft with those who still
around thee spread Hopes joyous ray;
Be glad, and sink into tbs will
Of Him who raid 1m The Way"
VIC miss thy smile, fair gentle one,
That oft on US its light hath she'd;
Thou vert called home ere from the sun
One ray Of Hope or Joy had aed.
Thou only SAW Loves sunny May,
Thy glimpses of life bright rs brief;
When ushered to eternal day,
Thy crown had not one autumn leaf.
