THE SOLDIERS DREAM.

Tho following touching lines wero written

of South Carolina University, in comrpemo
ration Of o beautiful instance Of woman; ;;
devotion, that occurred while the Universit,
buildings, Columbia, South Carolina, wcr,
used rs q hospital:
Tho soldier boy lay on his pallet in pain,
Where the student his vigils once kept,
And there came with each throb of his fe
yer.parched brain,
Sweet memories Of home and he went,
But u daughter of earth, in her womanly
mcckncss,
Drew near him her vigils to keep,
And the charm of her voice, in It's sstorly
sweetness,
Bcgulcd the sad soldier to sleep.
AS her delicate hand hnthrh his paiu-furrow
CD brow,
And her fan pliyd It's Office Of blessing,
He dreamed of lh- eliuc where the heavens
cndow
The good with all angels carossing.
Ills hard bed Of straw seemed rs light as
the air;
An angels wings rustled above,
On'his pale, sunkcn check fell trcmulous
tear,
And voice whispered accents Of love.
Bewildcrcd and charmed by tho beautiful
vision,
Unconscious Of pln ;c and of time,
lie deemed himself Low in the regions ely
sian,
And now in his childhood's fair cline
Thus calming the wcopor, and soothing the
nnguishcd,
Thn Stnnt oh 4 1, :.

where ho languished,
With smile TO tho nngcl-- and died

The LABOR SupPLY.--The follow
ing remarks, from the Now York Jour-
asat Of Commerce., are worthy of con-
sideYatioH
casa sequel to the efforts Of sover-
al Southern Legislatures to encourage
immigration from Europe, in hopes Of
obtaining substitute for negro labor,
o report of che State Board Of Imni-
grafton to the Legislature of Virginia,
is deserving Of notice. This docu-
ment says tho effort made thus far
arc without practical result, confirm
ing tho experience of other Southern
States to similar endeavors~ The fail
ure in Virginia is attributed TO the in
ferior quality of those laborcrs hereto
fore sont into that State by agents and
spectators, the men being described
as the 'refuse of emigrants,' unskilled
in any kind of employment. The re-
port dcnies that tho disappointment
on the part of those who returned was
from want of suitable food MS has been
alleged, ind ascribes it to their own
characteristic faithlessnoss and total
want Of moral principlo.' AS tho
best class of emigrants arriving from
Europe universally desire to escape
from the position of tenants and to be-
como proprictors of the soil, the
course for Virginia to pursue IS to
hold out liberal inducements to set
tiers to make purchases of ara bic land :.
The great mistake has been to indulge
hereditary prejudice against divid-
ing and selling landed property, from
