The Enn,ne in India.

The news from India is frightful ir the
extreme, "famne is devastating the coun'
try" The London Times of the 29lh,
in an article on the subject. a ter aIluding
TO the fact thai tie famine is created by
drought, says:
at is a drought in land whero the
sun bakes up the soil almost TO the hard
ness of pottery, and where the earth
without rain in the accustomed season, is
an imreretrable crust. Where irrigation
works exist the scanty waters will suffice
10 produce scan'y crops, but where there
are no such works there is no vegetation
to be found. Mr.. Edmonstone, the Lieu
tenant Governor of the Northwestern
PROVINCES, had himself seen Tat in
march OF twenty miles there was not
green blade in any direction. Families
were fleeing away from the death whlcl
threatened them. Emancipated multi
tudes were dropping and dying by thu
way. And all this. we are told, is bu

A Psalm of Life.
ny L0KGFELLOw. .

Tell me not in mournful numbers
life is but an empty dreamI
For the soul dead that slumbers,
And things are not what they seom.
Life is real Life is earnestI
And the grave is not It's goal;
"Dust thou art, to dust returnest,''
Was not written of the soul.
Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,
Is our destined end and way.
But 10 act, that each Tomorrow
Find us further than o-day.
Art is long, and time is neeting,
And our hearts, though stout and brave,
Still, like muilicd drums, arc beating
Funeral marches to the grave.
In the worlds broad field OF battle.
In the bivouac of the life,
Be uot like dumb, driven cattle
Be nero in the strife.
Trust no Future, how e'er pleasant,
Let the dead Past bury is dead!
Act!-act in the living Present!
Heart within, and God DER head.
Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
And, departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands OF time;
Footprints, that perhaps another,
Sailing o'er lire's solemn main,
A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,
Seeing, shall take heart again.
Let us, then, be up and doing,
With heart for any fate,
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and TO wait.

UNION DEMoNsrRATIONs IN RIcHMoND-THE
FLAG OF THE SOUTHERN CoNFEDERAcY Tom
INTO RIBBoNs-An immense Union meeting
was held in Richmond Friday night, and ap-
pears 10 have been marked with deep earnest
ness and energy Of purpose. At an early stage
of the proceedings the flag ofthe UniCn was
displayed from the speakers platform, and
evoked an. expression of natural enthusiasm
quite thrilling in effect.
Able and fOrcible speeches were made on the
occasion by James B. Dorman, of Rockbridge.
and Col. John B Baldwin, of Augus,s, m members
of the State Convention, and by Marmsduke
Johnson, Esq.
During Mr. Baldwin's speech party young
men entered the church bearing flag Of the
Southern Contederacy. The appearance Of
the new banner excited storm Of Indignation.
Its bearers were forced out Of tho building amid
grea, confusion and excitement, and the Ob-
noxions bunting being seized, was speedily
torn into ribbons.

AMOUNT OF ABSENCE PROPER FOR HUsBANDs.
Miss MULCH says:-" A lady fmy acq 'sini-
ance gives il as her sine qua non of dOmesllc
felicity, that the 'men of the family should
always be absent at least six hours in the day
And truly, mistress of a family, however
strong her affection for the male members of It,
cannot but acknowledge that this is great
boon. A house where papa 'or the boys
are always 'pottering about popping IN ana
out at all hours, ,verlastlngIy wanting some
thing, or fndng cult with something else, is
a considerable trial to even feminine patleACe
And beg to ask my sex generaly-In conf
dence, Of course-if il is not the greatest com
fort possible when, the masculine half OF tn"
family being cleared out for the day, the house
settles down Ito regular work aud orderly
quietoess until evening! Also. il is good tor
item as well f. u.s. to have all the inevitable
petty domestic bothers go over III their ab-
sence; to affect which ought to be one of the
principle ams of the mistress of family. Let
them, if possible, return to a quiet, smiling
home, with sIl It's small ann0yanccs brushed

which, en- pdSSGnt, isone of the fret requisites

question was decided in the negative; and
thus have we, in miniature, saved the Union.
On Thursday night, the members celebrated
'heir rise, progress and close, by handsome
entertainment at the house of Jchn G. Voshel,
and heartily enj Dyed themselves until late
hour with the good things Of life, entirely OBJ
livicus, for the time, of the unhappy condition
of our beloved country. DR.. Charles Perkins
was elected to preside, aud at the close of the
dinner, by request, gave an account of the rise
aud progress of the society. He was followed
by J. T. Budd in neat and appropriate speech,
and touched the hearts of his hearers by an
nounciDg the hour of parting had arrived
After complimentary resolution to J. G. Vo-
shell, for the handsome manner in which the
entertainment was gotten up, the members dis
persed to their homes.
Thus, Mr.. Editor, has "the winter of our
discomfort" pleasantly passed, and thus should
it ever be. A warmer feeling exists between
the members since our pleasant association to-
gether We feel as band of brothers, and as
evidence of this fact, there was net one un-
kind word or harsh thong ht manifested through
out the whole time of our meeting. 1t now re-.
mains for your humble servant to return his
warmest thanks 10 the members. collectively
and Individually, for the courtesy and kindness
which they have ever extended to him, and to
record the fact, that the last winter was among
the most pleasant of his life. LoCKwA.

WHAT MUsT BE DoNE.-The North Ameri
can t1lnks the South is restricting it's own
power and its own liberty. We think it is
useless to speculate any longer on this oues-
ton OF secession. That the seceders are wrong,
that they will. if they persist in their i'll advised
measures, be called on to make many and great
sacrifices, that the masses will experience all
the ills of destitution, muet be conceded. But
it must also be admitted that, if it shall once
be ascertained that the Confederaled Govern
ment is fixed fact, that it is recognized abroad
as Government, then the defects OF the ne W
regime will be remedied, and as the neophytes
gain experience they will improve, as they
already have done on the old government.
1t SHOULD be the chief aim at this time, Of all
having influence, to endeaver not 10 irritate,
by pointing out the weakness aud folly Of an
adversary, but to strive TO soolhs and engage
in measures which, without a sacrifice of prln.
ciple, will restore to these States of ours their
wonted harmony. '-'.''
If the Cotton States remain out and become
seperats Confederacy, then, when they cure
present evils, and stand really and thoroughly
alone, will the North's days Of suffering com.
mence. Then will the North, in selfdefence
be compelled to adopt, TO save itself, the very
measures it now refuses 10 adopt 10 cave the
Union. Our hope is now in the Peoples to L.
ibg matters in their own hands.
