selves with mountains of future troubles

the Rebellious forces at Port Royal, South
Carolina, by a splendid naval victory.

Gen Saxon, a West Pointer, drilled the
first Company of South Carolina Nolun-

your relatives. You have as good ri sht

colored men-such as WASHINGTON in the
Revolution, and JACKSON in the last war,

GOVERNOR STANLY, OF NORTH CAROLINA
THE RIGHT MAN IN THE RIGHT PLACE.-The
abolition papers are opening their batteries on
Governor Stanly, of North Carolina, because
he has very properly shut up niger school
opened by some Northern fanatics, and advised
the directors to set the contrabands to work,
instead Of training them to be philosophers,
poets, orators, logicians and metaphysicians. It
seems plain that Governor Stanly is carrying
out the views and ideas of the administration,
much to the sorrow and disgust Of the abolition
school, but to the full satisfaction Of ell loyal
and conservative citizens. He is just such
another fright man in the right place" as Go
vernon johnson, of Tennessee, and his acts offer
strong contrast to the doings of "the wrong
man in the wrong place'-the pious blockhead
Pearce-who was sent into South Carolina by
Secretary Chase to look after the niggers. We
wish all our governors and other officers to be
Of the johnson and Stanly stamp, for they are
the right kind Of men to aid in preserving the
Union. Mr.. Secretary Chase, who has made such
q great reputation by his dexterous management
of the almighty dollar, seems to have forgotten
all his former proficiency in this line, and has
instead become absorbed with the almighty
niger. To this we are indebted for the pranks
Of the niger worshipping Pearce at Port Royal

A blot on the fame OF friend,
A flaw in the faith of n lover.

And Oft IN error We fall;
Then let Us speak wei of our brother,
Or speak not about Kim at all.

Suspicion most foul and undue;

How often the light s.nle of gladness
Is worn by the friends that we meet
To cover sou! full of sadness,
Too proud TO acknowledge defeat.
How often the sigh Of detection
Is heaved from the hypocrite's breast,
To parody truth and affection,
Or lull suspicion to rest.
How often the friends we hold dearest,
Their noblest affections conceal,
And blossoms the purest, sincerest,
Have secrets they cannot reveal.
Leave base minds 10 harbor suspicion,
And small ones 70 trace our defects
Let ours be noble ambition,

TO me the eyes OF a stranger.
Unhappy onel sorrow has
touched you early with his blight
ing fingers So | spoke with
myself as | walked on musing.
Has love failed, or the shadow
OF death fallen over the threshold
of one dearer than life? All, is
there not in the experience of one
soul, tried in the fire as thou as
suredly hast been, pain enough
TO make our hearts shiver in the
bare Imagination? First the
stunning shock of a fearful ca
lamity; then the awakening to
pain as life begins to stir in
the bruised and broken fibres
and organs, IN, the quivering
nerves and lacerated tissues; then
the almost equally balanced con-
test between life and death; and
the long period of slow recupera-
ton, with it's anguish of acning
wounds, its helplessness, its de-
spondency, its darkness. All!
what a history is written in a
face like thine, pale, suffering
strangerl How little of all this
is imagined by the passing
crowdp
Next | saw the face in church.
1t was still! pale and sad, and
bore a look Of exhaustion, as
from long endured pain
But now there was in it a softer
expression-a touch of resigna-
tion blending with pious hope.
The strong hath strengthened
her. so | said in my thought
The burden was too heavy for
her owr soul, and she hath laid
/ it upon Him. Her refuge is
with the Comforter
Often during the services my
eyes turned involuntary toward
the young lady, who had awaken
ed in me an interest little short
of fascination. No more de-
vout worshiper sat under the
preachers ministrations. She
Impressed as one who had turned
hopelessly from earth, and now
rested all with heaven.
As | moved down one Of the
aisles alter the benediction had
been pronounced, the slightly
bowed form of Mr.. B-met
nay observation. He was alone.
My thought went instantly to
his wife sorrowlng for her dead
son.
Whatr ejaculated, speaking
half aloud, as a conviction fash
ed acrossed my mind, did tina,
arrow strike there also?'
Mr.. B"had paused by the
pew door from which the pale
faced young woman was stepping
into the aisleand taking her hand.

faint, sad smile on her lips
They passed out together. In
the vestibule they fingered, and,
in answer to a question, | heard
Mr.. B--say.
81 think she is a little more
like herself: Come and see her,
won't you? Ii will do you both
good
Tears sprungto her eyes. My
own were filling.
Il will come | saw her lips
quiver, as she thus answered, and
then turned almost hastily away.
