DisuniOn.

The following stansas, says the Nevada
Transcript, are the production of young
ord beautiful Miss, of Nevada, whose intel
lect and patriotism are fitting accompani-
,,,ents to her youth and beauty. Her versi-
foa,ion may perhaps, not fully accord with
the rigid notions of hypercritics, but it has,
nevertheless, the ring of the true poetic meth-
"a in it. When youthful grace and loveli-
moss touch the lyle Of patriotism and sing
,,oons TO the American Union, where is the
man with heart in his bosom, who can re
s;ot heipg led into political truth by their in
spiraticns?
Shall the banner of oppression
Wave in triumph DER our land;
Shall its fame be weested from it
Rv n base and traitorous hand?
Shall the free born sons of heroes,
Fling the priceless boon away?
Tr,mnle on their deathless glory?
Cringe beneath disunion's sway?
Shall we crouch in slavlsh silence,
EDWARDS, fearful and dismayed
Uark there swells solemn murmur
From Mount Vernon's hallowed shade
Rouse ye rouse ye sons of Freedom
Yours the task "to do or dare !"
Yours to guard your Fathers freedom
With a stern and jealous care.
Dove slumber in the tumult
While the traitorous echoes swell,
Through the land where patient martyrs
Fought and bed, and nobly fell?
Do We lightly hold our struggles
For our country's liberty
Will ye let Disunion spurn us?
Never, never must it be

AcrlylrY OF MIND coNDucyGro LONGEVITY.
Saysa a writer for Mrs Has rouck's Sybil;
1t has been clearly proved that highly cul
tvnted intellect is favorable to piotracted
youthfuness and long life. Highly educated
men and women, on an average, live longer,
and enjoy more even and pure health than
those Of little or no mental culture. The mind
is hfe-the very essence of life-and where
there is most of mind, other things being
equal there is most of that which imparts
life and vigor to the body. 1t is believed
that thousands in THE country annually die
some twenty years sooner than they would
had they bestowed higher cultivation upon
their intellect. We must be more iutelectu-
al and less sensunl-mOre of that which dies
not, and less Of that Which dies-if we would
invigprete and prolong whatever of US is NOR

to rust ont The truth is, after all, very few
can claim the honor Of wearing out inteIlec-

mental rust But why does the busy, bust

on retiring to enjoy in idleness their gains
just because the life giving power (the mind

las THE Thing Lr1:-A gawky backwoods
boy was once at depot on one of the Geor-
gin railroads. and was, of course, deeply in
terestcd in gazing, for the first time, at the
"hXins." Finally he got inside ola car, and
while indulgng his unbounded curiosity, the
whistle screamed, the bell rang, and the
steam horse began to surge at the rate Of
| "two-forty."
ooh, Lordy,' shouted the boy, "stop it, /
amt agwine.' And bursting forward he
opened and jumped out on the platform. just
then the train was crossing deep and cav
cruous looking gorge on trustle work. and
seeing the earth and tree tops beneath him,
he tiintcd and fell. Directly he came too, and
looking up at the conductor, who stood by
him, he exclaimed, with a deep ~igh-"Oh,

For this reason, We never enjoy the usual
