The following verses are from an English Jour
icting the suffering among the factory opera
lat country for want OF cotton:
Dead-Dead--Dead!
For better it hould be so;
To lie in pauper's coffin there,
Than Sins temptation to know
For d, my girl was bonny and fair,
But beaaty's curse, gu see,
When hunger and want, disease and care,
Such merciieas fepds can be.
1t was for her sake, that day by day,
My heart grew heavy and sore:
Till hope itself seemed ebbing away
From my life's dark, sunless shore.
Dead-dead-dead
She was starved to death, say,
Because of the fierce and cruel strife
Mid our kinsmen far away.
Man, look on her face 20 worn and pale.
on her hands, 30 white and thin
Here WAS spirit that would not quail
From striving her bread to win
But yonder, closed is the factory gate,
The engine is red with rust;
And what could we do but starve and wait
Till peace should bring us crust?
Dead--dead-dead
With her brother lying ill,
And her father shiverng Oh the step
That leads to the silent mill
Alone kneel in my binding tears
Alone in my black despair
NY heart Ger tnrdened with gloomy fear,
Yet far too bltter for prayer
= Why DO you prate how the world still grows;
More kind and more wise each day?
Vars bloody flame still :itters and glows
The olives of peace decay.
Dead-dead-dead
Oh God ! that my curse should fall
On the heads of those whose selfish aims
Have worked such woe for US all!
Man, blame me not for my bu nirg wod ds
Nor bid me these thoughts disclaim;
For death has riven the sIlvery chords
That swelled through my anguished frame.
True, I'm only woman. whose heart
Lies struck by a mortsl blow;
But God, how keen is the bleeding smart
A mother alone may know

The great majority of these men obtained the suf-

that they party" men, aud they return
to the people branded by public opinion the most
tyrannica, proscrptive party that ever obtained po
litical power in North CaroIna-far exceeding any
party on record in their shameless and unscrupuous
thirst for office. They truthfuy join in the churchs
public confession-they have done those things they
ought not to have done, and have left undone what
they ought to have done, and there is 10 truth in
them.
They sent to raise troops for the defence of the
State and for the defence and they have failed

less to speak. Few foreigners have so much as
glanced through the doorway OF the British House of
Commons without carrying away mental daguerreo.

buoyancy and vvacity of youth, aud vita his gallant
air and graceful dash of dandysm Loo sort of mas
culne Nlnon de- L'EncoS. He is said to possess that
capacity of throwing off dull care, and that freedom
from supplying principles, which make up the secret of
inexbausbe political faith. His chief popularity with
the is derived from their stout faith in his i'm
mense value with nation so stout and daring as Eeg-
land has been and always will be. AS was said Of ar
other great English politician:
Even at the feast of his pluck peryades the board
And dauntles game-cocks symbolic their lord.".
Every village alehouse echoes the belief that the
premier Pam " eats nothing but good Southdown
mutton and drinks nothiog but good English beer and
as be canter5 along Rotten Row down Piccadiily,
there is something pleasant in the pride with which
each passer turns and says: There goes our Pam"
At home he is the delight and stay of the social circle
Nor doubt nor toll his freshness destroy,
But time still leaves all Eton in the boy.
In the conduct OF his administrative department lie is
despotic and severe, and canuot for moment brook
the slightest contradiction or control lie is troubled
with one or wo singular preudices. For instance he
will not permit smoking in any portion OF his Office OF
