The following lines we're written in Europe
twenty years ago. in answer to slave owners
family who invited the suthoress TO travel in
the Southern States They were fret published
many years ago These lines were indeed pro-
phetic
You tell me Of bright land far over the sea.
But ahl can YOU call it the land of the :ree 7
Where the image Of God, for handful Of gold
Like beast of the field IN the market is sold
Where the child from the mother fond bosom is
torn. N
Where the father is chained. leaving orphans for
lorn-
Where the maiden is barserci like merchandise
ware,
Then doomed to the lash and the groan Of despair
Woe! woe to thee fair land far over the main;
For the canker Of death--dark slavery's stain
Shall gnaw TO thy vitals while every sigh.
From the victims who swriths, mounts for justice
ON high ~
And He the great Lord of the universe wide
Shall smits thee to earth in thy strength and thy
pridei -es
For vengeance must fall for foul cruelties done
On the beings redeemed by his own beloved sonl
The sound of the war.dnim shall thrill thee at
night @AS
As thy sons and thy brothers are borne to the
fight
The slave and the cotton shall stab thee with
pain. se.-
And the North and the South be divided in
twain. ~
And br,,ti,sr gainst brother shall strike ir the
fight,
And battles he fought in the dead of the night.
And the white maid and widow in sorrow shall
mourn 49,
And The fags of thy freedom in tatters be torn.
The North in her might. like wSirlwind shall
ris ~
And the notes Of the cannon be Lorne TO The
skies. h
And though the warm blood OF her heroes be
shed.
The light of her freedom shall never he dead !;
The Stars and the Stripes AN Excelsior shall be,
Proud Lihertys banner frm land and by sea
And the Union, h"ugh srurned by the slave

Good Advice for the Ladies.

The following letter from the Hon.
John Sherman was written in reply to
an invitation to be present at a meeting
of the Ladies' Home League:
u. S. SENATE, May 0, 1854.
MApAM-Iregre that my duty in the
Finance Committee, viii not allow me
to attend your meeting this evening,
but most heartily approve of your
pledge, and trust that you will make
it universal and effective. When we
are compiled to impose internal taxes,
such as we are now considering, it is
high time we should stop buying silks,
satimet and luxuries abroad. Every
lady who purchaces silk dress, sends
abroad enough gold to pay a soldier
from three to twelve months. If she
is content with home productions, she
enriches instead Of impoverishing our
country. 1t is only through voluntary
agencies, making home fabrics fashion
able, that we can check excessive i'm
portation. Laws or tariffs will not do
it. The ladies have every thing at
stake in this contest. Protection, peace
and prosperity can only exist by main
taing the Government They can not
aid their brothers by sharing in physic-
al dangers, but they may by self sacri-
ficing economy. Make a silk dress in
rich trimmings, the fashion with all pat
riotic woman, and you havedone more
for your country than our restric
tive laws can do. All we want with
gold now is, to pay the interest of the
public debt. We can get enough from
our mines for that purpose, but not
enough to pay and export for fashion
and luxury.
am, Madam, with great respect
yours truly, JOHN SHERMAN.

THIRD BORN.
The Valley or JehOshaphat.

The efforts the Jews have made, and
the snfferings, losses and humiliations
they have borne, for the purpose of OBJ.
tanning sepulture in the Valley of Je.
hoshaphat, form singular feature in
human history. No other nation has
thus struggled, not to live in their own
land, but to be suffered to lay their dust
therein. Many descriptions have been
made of this marvellous place; but I
confess none of them ever afforded me
notion Of its actual appearance.
Wandering alone past the fountain OF
Sloan, and by the arid bed Of Kedron,
it suddenly opened on me perfect
mountain of graves, a hillside paved
with sepulchral slabs. Each stone is
small, so small as to lead to the con-
clusion that the bodies must be buried
perpendicularly. AT all events, if the
multitudes there inferred were simulta-
neously to arise, they would form a
crowd so dense and compact as it
would be enormous. Short Hebrew
inscriptions (some evidently of great
age) are on all the stones, and these
are laid together with intervals only of
few inches, as in our oldest church.
yards. The slabs are almost on the
level ground, and of equal height, so
that it is literally one large pavement
of death-an appalling, almost an over
whelming sight.-Froz;er's Magazine.

For Everybody.

Let the business Of everybody alone,
and attend TO your own.
Don't buy what you don't want.
Use every hour to advantage, and
study to make leisure hours useful, :
Think twice before you spend a shil-
ling, and remember that you will have
another to make for it. .ss
Find recreation in looking afes your
business, so that it will not be neglec-
ted in looking after recreation.
Buy low, sell fair, aud take care oi
the profits. r5u~rfs 4u y
Look over your books regularly, and
If You find an error, trace it out.
Should stroke Of misfortune come
npon you in trade, retrench, work hard,
but never fly the track. 80 i'-si sias
Confront difficulties with unAinching
perseverance, and they will disappear
at last; though You should fail In the
struggle, you will be honored--but
despised.

COUNTRY .PAPERs.-We would res
pectfully ask our country brethren,
who sometimes advise farmers to culti-
vate less ground and spend more labor
upon the smaller space, if the same pol
icy would not be good to apply to news
paperr. The "swell SYSTEM" which
leads to gratuitous advertising and
and doubling" is pernicious to the
trade. The costliness of paper and la
Dor, it seems to us, should induce pub
fishers to compact their sheets; and the
little difference between good and in
different paper and ink, should also
prompt neatness in Typography. We
always like neat little paper. 1t is
handable, and we know that if it is well
edited, we shall find its @locals" brief
and numerous. The demand for labor
in the cities will keep the country clear
of competition, anu we hope the coun-
try press will act on the idea that quail
ity, not quantity, is the diseratum.-N
hnois State Sentinel.

A Baleful Marriage.

Married, sometime about the yeal
1850, by his Satanic Majesty, Mr.. Cor
PERHEAD DEMocRAcY and Miss RAT
rLEsNAKE SLAVERY, both of the Uni
ted States.
Slices Of the wedding cake were
sent to all the locofoco editors, in con
sequence of which they have to puff

:t set FIRST BORN.
Born In the summer of 1851, Le
compton Border Ruflian, SON of Hon
Mr.. Copperhead Democracy.
This unsightly child born six months
after the above marriage, after few
months of sickly existence, died from O
peculiar disease called Free States.
SECOND BORN.
Born, at Charleston, S. c., in the
year of Grace, 500, Mr.. Secession
Pro Slavery Rebellion, true son of Mr..
@. and Mrs. r. S. Democracy, Jimmy
Buchanan, acting granny.
This child, switch looks so much
like its daddy" is now going on three
years old. Its infancy was marked by
SO much precoc,ty, that IL is universally
believed that it is ''too smart to live
It's backbone was lately broken by the
fall Of .Vicksburg, its face horribly
burnt in the fire at Gettysburg, one OF
his feet amputated in Ohio. 1t has
been source Of great trouble all its
days. It's death, however is looked
for soon. The old man, they say, is
''raving mad" through the fear that his
dear son viii die. The old lady is al,
so in a dreadful quicker" and some OF
her friends have got the "sympathet.
ic fits.'
THIRD BORN.
Born, in New York City, in July
1868. Mr.. Patrick Riot, third son OF
Mr.. G. and Mrs. r.. S. Democracy.
This monster baby came very nearly
being still born, but by the aid of DR.
Seymour and his friends it lived three
days.
The fatality which attends these
ohildran shaurS that NO child Of snoh
parents can ever live. And yet they
survive long enough to cause great
trouble; and as long au the old folks
live there is danger of an increase in
the family" The people will rejoice
and cry Amen at the extinction of the
whole race.

CoNFEpERATE STATES OF AMERICA }
WAR DEPARTMENT, 7
RICHMOND, Va. April l8. }

RICHMOND, va. Aprii TO- J
My DEAR FRIEND: The reason of
my not answering your letter on the
I'd instant before, is that l could not do
so without violating the regulations OF
the department. Indeed, l cannot
give the information you desire now,
without transgressing the rules: but
knowing your patriotism and discre-
ton, shall venture to do so.
General Lees plans are perfected,
and the President, Secretary, and even
grumblipg b. are delighted with them;
and it only remains for the depart
ments and the bureaus to carry out
their parts of them. Your conjecture
that the seat of war win be transferred
to the North is correct, and you may
depend that this time General Lee will
90 prepared to remain there until the
Yankees sue for peace. The intention
is to give him one hundred and fifty
thousand men. The troops will be
withdrawn from points of minor impor-
tance, and as Charleston and Mobile
are no longer in danger, the troops
near these points can be spared also,
so that there will be no difficulty in Civ
ing him the required number ofmen.-
He has at hand more than two thirds
the number now, and we are hurrying
up others from every direction.
Enough will be left in and around
the city to defend it if assailed via pc
ninsula, and enough to confront Meade
and to keep him North of the North
Anna, or at all events North of the
South Anna, while Lee will make a
flank movement and push two columns
northward both Longstreet and Stuart
going with him. These, in brief, are
the plans for the Summer Campaign,
and they will surely be carried out, un-
less, unfortunately, the enemy advances
before Lee gets ready, and necesitates
change in the programme. If, unfor-
tunately, Lee should be obliged to fall
back, Beauregard will have command
of the defenses of the city, while Lee
will with all the force that can be
spared, operate in conjunction, with
conjunction, with Johnston, and carry
the war into Ohio. Thirty thousand
can hold the capital against all the men
the enemy can send here.
In few days / will write to you a.
gain more at length. Remember me
to Mrs. Lewis and the girls,
Truly your friend,
r. R. WELLARD JR.
