For the Southern Agis.
"HopE ON, HOPE EVER"
ny LIZZIE.


"Hope on, Hope ever" is a motto, in fine,
Which is wrapt in the prestige of humor divine
And whatee er of sorrow may sadden life's way,
Let the sunshine of hope 'lume the gloom of dis
may.
In first Peter, first chapter, without semblance of
trope,
Is the language, "Be sober, and to the end
hope;" .
Fen to "hope against hope" is the moral l
draw, ......
And to never despair is Divinity's law.
Beneath the huge billows that answer the storm,
Is darkness unclcft by the chrystal of morn
Yet secure in their beauty, hid forever from view,
Are oceans pure gems robed in passionless hue (;
But ah | if exhumed to the splendors Of day,
With diamonds and rubies to embellish array,
Gould the demon of pride and heartless attire,
Higher purity give, or fresh lustre inspire?
Wealth, fashion and fame may entrance from
afar,
And the eye of Ambition may rest on their star,
But the heart that's athrst for the rapture above
Must dash from its portals such idols of love.
"Contentment with godliness' sour life US it
may,
Is sceptre of peace, mid the scenes of its way
A jewel more precious than SparkleS in crown,
Or annals Of fame on the page of renown.
Tnen "Hope on, Hope ever" whate'er may be-
tide, So .t.a ..
Tho fashion may scoff and folly deride,
The fate kind Parent doth wisely design,
Can chasten our spirits for rapture divine.

rican. The only great difference between
them is of social and political nature,
namely, that which arises from the exis-
tence of African slavery in one, and its
absence in the other. ,4I...
This fact, however, offers no obstacle
whatever to such separation as is inyol-
we'd in independent political jurisdictions |;
on the contrary, it greatly facilitates it.
Before the Federal Union was establish
ed all the States were independent, and
associated under Articles of Confederation,
in the nature of treaty. The argu-
ments now adduced to show the impracti-
cability of present separation between the
North and South, go with equal force 10
prove the impossibility of what then actu-
ally existed and was accepted in the case
of the thirteen original States of the
Union. The latter stood toward each
other precisely as the North and South
would stand, should they stop the war
and enter into treaty. 1t would simply
be resolving the North and South into
confederate States, resuming, as to them,
the old basis of the Confederation. This
would be the whole of it. 1t is therefore
a very simple operation.
I do not suggest this, however, on the
idea that should it ever be adopted, the
separation it implies would insure on ul-
innate reunion on an anti-slavery basis.
[ have confidence in the inherent vital
ity of Northern civilization. I have no
fear to set it in competition with that of
the South. Let them proceed side by
side in the race of empire, and we shall
see which will triumph.

How to Make Money.

Let the business Of every, body alone
and attend to your own; do not buy what
you do not want; use every hour to adj
vantage, and study to make even your. lei
sure hours useful; think twice before you
throw away q shilling--remember you
will have another to make for il; find rec
reation in looking after your business,
and so your business will not be neglect
ed in looking after recreation; buy low;
sell fair, and take care of the profits;
look over your books regularly, and if
you find an error, trace it out; should
stroke of misfortune come upon you in
trade, retrench, work harder, "but never
fly the track" confront difficulties with
unfinching perseverance,, and they will
disappear at last; though you should even
fail in the struggle, you will be honored;
but shrink from the task and you will be
despised.
BY the following of these rules, how
ever, you never need say "failp Pay
debts promptly, and so exact your dues;
keep your word.

SOCIAL AFFEoTIoN.-Society has been
aptly compared to heap of embers, which
when separated, soon languish, darken and
expire but if placed together, glow with
a rapid and intense heat, just emblem
of the strength, and happiness, and the
security derived from the union Of man
kind. The savage, who never knew the
blessings Of combination, and he who quits
society from apathy, or misanthropic
spleen, are like the separated embers, dark
and useless; they neither give nor receive
heat, neither love nor are beloved. To
what acts of heroism and virtue, in every
age and nation, has not the impetus of af.
fection given rise? To what gloomy mis-
cry, despair, and even suicide, has the di-
rection led How often in the busy
haunts of men, are all our noblest and gen.
tlest virtues called forth And how in
the bosom of the recluse do all the soft
emotions languish aud grow faint

Indian Tradition.

Among the Seminole Indians there is a
singular tradition regarding the white
mans origin and superiority. They say
that when the Great Spirit made the
earth, lie also made three men, all of
whom were fair complexioned +; and after
making them he led them to the margin
of small lake and bado them leap in and
wash. One obeyed, and came out of the
water purer and fairer than before the
second hesitated moment, during which
time the water, agitated by the first, had
become muddied, and when he bathed he
came out copper-colored; the third did not
leap till the water became black with mud,
and he came out its own color Then the
Great Spirit laid before them three pack
ages, and out Of pity for misfortune in col
or, gave the black man the first choice
He took hold of each of the packages, and
having felt the weig ght, chose the heaviest;
the copper-colored then chose the next
heaviest, leaving the white man the light
est. When the packages were opened,
the first was found to contain spades, hoes,
and all the implements of labor the sec-
ond enwrapped hunting, fishing and war
like apparatus the third gave the white
man pens, ink and paper-the engine Of
the mind, the means of mutual improve
ment, the social link of humanity, the
foundation of the white mans superiority.
