TO the American People.

That late in half despair, | said
q The Nations ancient life is dead;
Her arm is weak, her blood is cold;
She hugs the peace that gives her gold
The shameful peace, that sees expire
Each heacon-light Of patriot fire,
And makes her court traitors dem
Forgive me this, my Countrymen
Oh in your long forbearance grand
Slow to suspect the treason planned,
Enduring wrong, yet hoping good
For sake of olden brotherhood,
How grander, how sublimer far
At the reused eagles call We are,
Leaping from slumber to the fight
For Freedom and for Chartered Right
Throughout the land there goes a cry;
A sudden splcador fills the sky:
From every hill the banners burst,
Like buds by April breezes nursti
In every hamlet, home, and mart
The tirc-beat of a single heart
Keep time to strains whose pulses mix
Oar blood with that Of Seyenty-Siki
The shot whereby the old flag fell
From Sumter's battered citadel
Struck down the lines Of party creed
And made We One in soul and deed
One mighty People, stern and strong
To crush the consumated wrong,
Indignant with the wrath whose rod
Smites as the awful sword of God
The cup is full They thought We blind
The props OF State they undermined
Abused your trust, your strength deGed,
And stained the Nations name of pride.
Now lift TO Heaven your loyal brows,
Swear once again your fathers VOWS,
And cut through traitor hearts track
To nobler fame and freedom back
Draw forth yoUr million blades as one:
Complete the battle then begun
God fights with you, and overhead
Floats the dear banner OF ycnr dead
They, and the glories Of the Past,
The fu ure, drawing dim and vast,
And all the hcliest hopes of Man,
Are beaming triumph in our van
Slow to resolve, be swift to dol
Teach ye the false how fight the truei
How bucklered Periidy shall feel
In her black heart the patriots steel;
How sure the bolt that Justice wings;
How weak the arm a traitor brings;
How mighty they, who steadfa8t stand
For Freedoms Flag and Freedoms Land.

BlTTER-SgT ET.

T'nus is il over all the earth
That which we call the fairest,
And prize for its surprising worth,
Is always rarest.
iron is heaped in mountain piles,
And gluts the laggard forgeS;
But gold-hakeS CLEAN in dim defles
And lonely gorges.
The snowy marble llecks the land
With heaped and rounded lodges,
But diamonds hide within the sand
Their starry edges.
The fnny armies clog the twine
That sweeps the lazy river,
But pearls come singly from the brine,
With the pale diver.
God gives no value unto men
Unmatched by need Of labor;
The Cost Of Worth has ever been
The closest neighbor.
Wide is the gate and broad the way
That open to perdition,
And countless multitudes are they
Who seek admission.
But strait the gate, the path unkiud,
That lead to life immortal,
And few the careful feet that find
The hidden portal.
All common good has common price;
Exceeding good, exceeding; ;
Christ bought the keys Of Paradise
BY cruel bleeding;
Aud every soul that wins place
Upon its hills of pleasure,
Must give its all, and beg for grace
To fill the measure
Were every hill a precious mine,
And golden all the mountains;
Were all the rivers fed with wine
BY tireiess fountains
Life would be rayished Of its ze5t,
And Shorn Of its ambition,
And sink into the dceamCss rest
OF inauition.
Up the broad stairs that Value rears
Stand motives beck'ning carthWArd,
To summon men to nobler spheres,
And lead them W0rthward.

The first speaker was a fsshionably
dressed young man, and his intcrlvcutor
a beautiful young lady. Their situation
was the most embarrassing in the world,
for as the gentleDan turned the corner ot
the street he had been unexpectedly con
fronted by the damsel in question. After
a succession of desperate efforts to pass
each other, which only resulted in various
disagreeAble collisions, ard mutual attrac
tions and repulsionS analogous to the ma.
nevres of two electrified pitch balls, they
had come to a stand still The blush on
the lady'S cheek, although deep and rich
as the crimson on the sunset cloud, was
nearly equalled by the corresponding hue
of the gentleman face One last spair.
ing movement on his par. to pass his love
ly antagonist was unfortunately seconded
by simultaneous ende0vor of hers and
perceiving almost irrepressble mirth on
the counteuance Of bis companion, who
stood few feet distant to watch the issue
of the rencontrc, the gentleman raised hi
hat fromjhis head, and, marching at right
anglsS directly to the curbst0ne, gave ut
erance to the above ejaculation, Which
elected its fellow from the rosy lips Of the
young lady With bow and glance
from her bright eyes Of mingled aipuse-
ment and rexation she agailcd herself Of
this retreat, and passed on, entering shop
q short distance below. Our here cast his
eyes behind him as she passed by; and,
noticing that she had dropped her hand
kerchief. he hastily picked it up, and was
on the point of following her to return it,
when observing name in one corner, he
paused, coolly pocketing the delicate mou-
choir, and rejoined his companion. The
latter received him with mock gravity,
while merrimens evidently filed bis soul
to the very brim.
''Bravo!" was bis salutation. "Ralph,
you are in luck to day; envy your teto-
a-tete with so charming a neighbor. Pom

ration with frantic efforts to get out of my

"And You have not as much sweetness

the impurturable Harry "Oh, that.par-
tial judge, Fortune, if she had only put

Modern education too often covers the
fingers with rings, and at the same time
cuts the sinews Of the wrists.
All lnen look to happiness in the future.
To every eye heaven and earth seem tc
eubrace iu the distance.
/ Sorrow comes sooD enough without De-
spondency; it does man no good to carry
around lightning rod to attract trouble.
Cunning is only che mimic Of discre-
tion, and may pass upon weak men, just
as pertness is often mistaken for Wit and
gravity for wisdom.
The great see the world at one end b.
hattcry, the little at the other end BY
neglect: the meanness which both dis
cover is the same.
As the diamond is found in the dark
ness ef the mine, as the lightning shoots
with the most vivid fashes from tx
gloomiest cloud, SO does mirthfulness fre
quently proceed from heart susceptible
of the deepest melancholy.

R& Positive.

There is perhaps more failure ard want
of success in life occasioned by neglect
TO obey this iDjunctitr, than fzcn any
other single cause.
Many young man hcving every ad-
vantage which wealth, position, talent and
culture can possibly give him, becomes
only a mere cypher at last, from the lack
of those qualities which positiveness o.
character gives. Nothing great or good
in life can ever be plished with Quit.
Wealth receives only the respect which
it deserves at last, and 50 with influence
and intellectual culture. AL things seek
level That which dazzles and lures
at first, is invariably set down, finally, at
its Intrinsic worth.
The old Greeks had maxim which
read, "know thysef." This required
some courage, for when man deliberately
sets about knowing himself aud judging
the secret springs of his actions, he viii
be apt to fnd within, in the Inaer recesSes
of his soul, some things which need
vast deal Of mending nevertheless such
study is rot to be neglected, however
much modern philosophy may cry out
against it saying ''Leave OF knowing
ti,yself" Thou wilt never accomplish
thy desire. Do thy work-that is best
for thee
"Be BethyseIf" said the philosopher; and
this andeed requires more courage than
the other. 1t needs more strength Of
character and a firmer purpose 1t toler-
ateS 40 servile imitation, nothing but a
frank, honest, and earnest expression OF
the reality within u.s.
Positiveaess Of character prcsupposes
attention to these requisites of kRowing
and being. a man must understand him
self, his position, and his motive of action,
before he is competent to be positive in
the expression of opinion, or in the de-
tense Of principles where action is requir-
ed, where opposition meets him at every
step, and where only by an unyielding
energy he can succeed.
1t requires courage to be positive. 1t
is very easy matter for q man TO say
laz:ly cit may be so y or IL think SO !
or ''porhaps / will But to say eyes" or
.no" when the occasion requires.
Do coed with what thou hast, or it will
90 thee no good.
The moment that anything assumes the
shape of a duty, some persons feel them
selves incapable of discharging it.
Night brings out stars, as sorrow shows
US truth. We never see the stars till
we can see little or nought else, and thus
it is with truth.
The pleasantest things in the world
are pleasant thoughts, and the greatest
art in life is to have as many of them as
possible.
Were we painter and desired to per
sonify human life, We should represent a
ragged and haggard mortal with a crust
so hard that it could be broken only when
moistened by tears.
