WHAT Is REALTY .

This question is often asked, and the gen
eral reply is, that ii is whatever pleases the
eye. / do not wish to meddle with meta
physics; but contend there is beauty which
exists in the soul, and is perceived only
through its actions. The symmetry of form
and features, which is termed beauty, is .
gift, the same as talent; and it is not to be
despised. There is a spirit of beauty pervad.
ing the works of nature. Gods finger has
touched them, and left an impression which
we term beauty and it speaks of him from
every pearly drop of dew, from the tiniest
blade of grass, from every leafy bower, from
the bow of promise, and from the worlds that
sparkle sonsS an the helf of OTlon, ana Ia
the milky way. No palace Of eastern mon
arch, nor any work of art, can compare with
the beauties of this earth,-the diamond, the
rose, or the dew drop sparkling in the morn
ing sun light.
The mind, ever watching for something
new and strange, does not perceive the beau
ties around US. They have become common
place; but they are not less real. The hour
of sunset has more to please the eye, though
it does not appeal more to our perceptions OF
beauty, than any others. The sky of bur
nished gold seems to cast spell over the
other beauties ofNature and as it fades into
the calmer, softer twilight, we seem TO inhale
part of its magic. The voice of our better
nature speaks to US, drawing US from earth,
and we are eommuning with those who have
gone before, The watchful sentinels. one by
one, emerge from the darkness; and each
retains his place on his ETHEREAL throne, until
the light of morning causes them to fade and
sink silently away IN space. They are watch
ers that never tire emblems Of immortality.
There is a beauty Of soul, existing In char
ity, gentieness, patience, justice, integrity and
humility and in every noble thought or &C
ton. When we see a frmness of purpose
that will not be baffled, under circumstances
which seem to make success impossible, and
that purpose is governed by pure and lofty
motive, there is associated with such a motive
an idea of the beautiful. There was beauty
in the spirit in which the widoS gave
her two mites; in the humility and faith
of Moses; in the integrity of the puritan ia
theirs and patriotism Of the American people
in the Revolution. They were conscious OF
being right, and that was motive and secu-
rity enough. Truth is beautiful. Ii may be
crushed or concealed, but it cannot be de-
stroyed, ncr its beauty marred. Beauty is
in the ''charity that thinketh no evil - in the
spirit which forgives, and can feel as cheer
tul when opposed as when it IS praised
Beauty, whether Of soul or form, is all OF
Heaven its germs are implanted ia every
thing that God has made. His own charac.
ter is glowing with it. aud the soul is its TEN.
pie. THERESA.

And took his note therefor;
asked my money Of my friend,
And nought but words got,
lost my money and my friend
For sue him would not;
If had money and q friend

And play the fool no more.

THE WATCHER.
BY CHARLEs DICKENS.

The streets are smothered in the snow,
The chill eyed staes are cleaving keen
The frozen air, and, sailing slow,
The white moon stares across the scene.
She waits beside the fading fire,
The gasping taper fickers low,
And dropping down, and raising higher,
Her shadow waVers to and fro
No foot disturbs the sleeping floor,
No motion save the wintry breath
That stealing through the crannied door,
Creeps eoldly as q thought of death.
It chills her with its airy stream,
o cold, o careless midnight blast!
1t wakes her as her feyered dream
Hath skinned the sweetness of the past
She stirs not yet. The night has drawn
Its silent stream of stars away,
And now the infant streaks of dawn
Begin to prophecy the day.
She stirs not yet Within her eye
TIE half crushed tear-drop fingers still;
She stirs not, and the smothered sigh
Breaks wavelike on the rock OF Will
o heart that will unneeding prove,
o heart that must unheeded break
How strong the hope, how deep the love,
That burns for faithless folly's sake!

We are prouder than ever Of the land OF our
birth. Virginia gives this day satisfactory as
surance 10 the world that she has not "lost the
breed Of noble blood Her long patience and
iorbcarsnce under wrongs and injuries will not
5encefcr,h be construed into timidity or a
,:.ne.serving policy, BY the world, or BY any
portion thereof. She has defined her position
in characters Of living light At the first
open declaration of hostiilties on the part OF
the Northern aggressor, she de6antiy displays
in his presence her time-honored flag, with its
motto so suggestive to all 7yraHS.
Her SONS, from the sea-shore to the noun
,a;ns, come forth with unexampled enthusiasm
to uphold THAT standard sheet" at the risk of
life, fortune and sacred honor. Tho moment
Virgins calls upon her sons to com 10 her
rescue. the voice Of party and Of faction is
h lshed, 10 be heard 10 more tlllAer battle shall
be fought and her victory won. The call Of
Lincoln for $500 troops from this State, to as.
sist him in reducing our sisters of the South
to sasjugation, will be responded to by forty
times that number, if need be, to assist in
teaching him and his councillors a lesson Of
humility which they will never forgot. The

fathers in the days Of 'T6, still burns in the

rfunt Provisions.

1t is particularly recommended and earnest
+; urged that OUT planters aud farmers shonld
put in large crops OF provisions. We may be
at the commencement OF a long war, and 1t Is
essential to have full supplies for our people
and troops. We must depend on ourselves,
and may have no other source of supply but
our own soil.
Our neighbour and friend of the "Hhig,'
himself q practical farmer, and 4 gentleman OF
observation and foresight, in matters OF
" worldly wisdom has the following suggcs-
ton to farmers:
At this present writing, the indications are,
that everything eatable will bear 4 high price
for the next twelve OF eighteen months. The
enlistment Of armies on q grand scale VIII
withdraw many from the pursuits Of agricul'
.ure, aud thereby diminish the product. Ar
mics are, moreover, very proluse consumers,
and require q much greater amount OF food 10
keep them in game cock trim, than the same
number OF men in the ordinary vacations CT
life. We may, therefore, anticipate an unusual
demand for meat and breadstuTs Of every de-
scription. 1t is yet time Tor the Virginia
farmers to enlarge their crops of corn, and
they would probably act wisely in deTo'
ting the greater portion OF their labor TINS
year to the cultivation Of that crop.
Apart FROM the disturbed condition OF our
own country. the old stocks Of cereals are
quite exhausted in Europe, and the late news
foreshadows a war on a gigantic scale on That
side Of the water. With wars and scarcity IN
both Hemisphcres, the price of bread "ili only
be limited by the capacity to pay.
