Nettie Moore-

In little white cottage where the trees are ever green
And the climbing roses blossom by the door;
I've often sat and listened the music of the BIRDS
And the gentle voice of charming Nettie Moore.
CHORUS.
0 I miss you Nettie Moore,
And my happiness seems O'er,
While q spirit sad around my heart has come;
And the busy days are long,
And the lights are lonely now.
For you're gone from our little cottage home
Below MS in the valley on the rivers dancing tide,
OF a summer eve I'd launch my open boat;
And when the moon rising and the stars began
to shine,
Down the river merry we would float.
o miss you, &c.
And often in the autumn, ere the dew had left the
lawn,
We would wander DER the fields far away
But those moments have departed gentle Nettie too
is gone,
And no longer sweetly with her can stray.
OF miss you, &c.
Since the time thayou departed have longed to rise
And Join the happy angels gone before;
l cannot now be merry for my heart is full of woe,
Ever pining for my gentle Nettie Moore.
o = miss you, &c.
You have gone darling Nettie, I have mOurned you
many day.
But I'll wipe all the tears from my eyes;
For life is past, shal meet you once again,
In heaven darling up above the Skies
o ! miss you, Nettie Moore, &c.

ANoBLE THoUGHT.-Whenw we contem-
plate the fall Of empires, and the extension
of nations of the ancient world, we see but
little more to expect or regret than the
mouldering ruins of pompous palaces, mag
nifcent monuments, lofty pyramids, and
walls and towers of the most costly work.
manship But when the empire ofAmerica
shall fall, the subject of contemplative sor-
row will be infinitely greater than crumb-
ling brass or marble can inspire. 1t will
not then be said, " Here stood a temple of
vast antiquity-here rose Bable of invisi-
BILE height, or there place of sumptuous
extravaganza, but here painful thought /!
the noblest work of human wisdom, the
greatest scene of human glory, the fair cause
of freedom rose and fell.

of Saratoga county, New York, (poor fell

persisted in satisfying himself on all points,
whether of small or great consequence.
While passing along the roadside, one
day, in company with some boys, the dogs

The woodchuck had just room enough to

As the dogs could not get at him, Joe
thought he would put his hand into the
hole. and see how far he had gone.
He did SO and the woodchuck bit his
thumb through and through. Joe pulled,
but the woodchuck, thinking he had "sure
thing " of it, held on the tighter. Joe then
relaxed little, and the woodchuck let go.
Joe pulled out his hand, his thumb covered
with blood, and exclaimed:

What are you glad about?" exclaimed
one of the boys, who couldn't see the point.

TRUE.-When the press violates the sa-
credness of homes, and oversteps the just
limits of public censor to intrude on the
rights of private character, it strips itself
of dignity and clothes itself with baseness !;
it does not teach, but depraves the mind
of the community, and it is not the glory,
but the shame of liberty.

RULES FOR YOUNG MEN.-The world es-
Inmates men by then success in life, and, by
general consent, success is evidence of supe-
riority.
Never, under any circumstance, assume
responsibility you can avoid consistently
with your duty to yourself and others.
Base all your actions upon principle of
right; preserve your integrity of character,
and in doing this never reckon the cost.
Remember that self-interest is more like
ly to warp your judgment than all other cir
cumstances combined therefore look well
to your duty wher your interest is concerned
Never make money at the expense of
your reputation
Be neither lavish nor niggardly of the
two avoid the latter. A mean man is uni
versally despised, but public favor IS step
pingstone to preferment-therefore gener-
Gus feelings should be cultivated.
Let your expenses be such as to leave a
balance in your pocket. Ready money is a
friend in need
Keep clear of the law for even if you gain
your case, you are generally loser.
Never relate your misfortunes, and never
grieve over what you cannot help.

GENERAL ORDERS NO. II,
The three states OF Georgia, Florida, and
South Carolina comprising the Military Depart

themselves no longer under the protection Of
the United States of America, and having taken
up arms against the United States, it becomes
military necessity to declare them under mar
tia law. This was accordingly done ON the
18th day Of April, 1862. Slavery and martial
law in free country are altogether incompali-
bic. The persons in these three states, Georgia,
Florida, and South Carolina, heretofore held as
slaves are therefore declared forever free.
