most palpable laws Of nature, and &C

that Will IF God which has mada tho
negro anegro, and the white man his
superior. Some are trying to prove
that the negro has no soul, and others
aver the Unity Of the Human race. Our
own opinion is that the men who are
Matchmaking this once fair and inviting
country-men who are transforming
the once Sovereign States of the South
into African despotisms who are disre-
garding constitutions, old landmarks,
white blood, white origin, white prog
ress, white supremacy, and glory ofthe
past that belongs alone to the White

Words of wisdom.

The satisfaction we receive from scandal
doubtless arises from the assurance it gives us
that others are no better than ourselves.
Charity When charity walks into the lowest
places of want, we see the beautiful purity of
hel robes most distinctly.
Opinion and Confirmation No matter how
firmly we believe an opinion, it is always
strengthened by anorhers assent.
1t has been beautifully said that 'the veil
which covers the face offuturity is woven by the
hand of mercy"
Truth-The truth should be maintained
without protestations. 1t loses dignity if too
much asseverated.
One of the most important rules in the science
of manners is an almost absolute silence in re-
gard to yourself.
Men and Women.--The men who flatter the
women do not know them sufficiently and the
men who only abuse them do not know them
at all.
The essence of true nobility is neglect of self.
Let the thought of self pass in, and the beauty
of a great action is gone, like the bloom of
soiled flower.
Politeness and kind Attentions The forms
and ceremonies of poiteness may be dispensed
with, in measure, In the relaxa tons and in
timaces OF one 8 own fireside, but kind atten-
tions never.
Try the effect of good will and hope upon the
man VINO has Wrapt himself In the covering OF
a reckless and sullen dispair, and you will see
verified the old apologize of the sun, the wind
and the traveller.
Patience under Censure. Pope Julius ILL.,
ordered all the attacks upon him and his gov
ernment to be laid before him. ''If true" said
he, they will serve for counsel; if false, for
diversion" .ro5
1t is an old saying and a true one that God
helps those who help themselves In an i'm
mense majority of cases the circumstances by
which men suffer themselves to be overcome
might be controlled and surmoun:ed by vigorous
effort.

Memory's Wildwood.

The wearied day with sandals dipped in dew,
! Has passed through Evenings golden gates.
| While single star in the cloudless blue
| For the rising moon in silence waits:
! And the winds that sigh to the LANG uid hours
| A lullaby breathe O er the folded flowers.
The lilies nod to the sound of the stream
| That winds along with lulling flow,
AS either awake, or half in a dream,
roam through the realms of LONG AGo''
And the Loved and Lost with pensive smile,
Make welcome the bowers of Memory's ISLE
There shades and sunshine, sorrows and tears
Cahequ ring the path pat 90 of il iies Apri: hours,
That Hope ever ,wreathes with fairest flowers !;
There are Friendships guileless-,I.ove as bright
And pure as the stars in the halls Of Night
There are ashen Memories bitter pain.
And buried hopes. and broken VOW,
And an aching heart by the restless main,
Where the sea- breeze fans pallid brow;
a Wanderer on that shell-lined shore,
Listening for voices that speak no more
There are passions strong and ambitions wild,
And the fierce desire to stand in the van
Of the battle OF life. And the heart Of the child
| is crushed in the breast of the struggling man.
But short the regrets and few are the tears
That fall DER the tomb Of the vanished years.
There's quiet and peace and domestic love,
And joys all springing from faith and truth,
And love unQuestloning-far above
The passionate dreaming of ardent youth,
And kisses of ch ldren OF, lip and cheek,
And the parents bliss which no tongue can speak.
There are loved ones lost There are little graves
In the distant dell meath protecting trees,
Where the strearnlet winds And the Violet waves,
And the long grass sways to the signing breeze.
Hoy We mourn for the press of their tender lips,
And the light Of eyes darkened In deaths eclipse.
And thus as the glow of the daylight dies,
And Nights first look to the earth is cast,
gaze meath the beautiful summer skies
At the pictures that drape the halls of the past.
Oh Sorrow and joy chant mingling lay,
When through MEMoRYs WILDWOOD we Wans
der AWAY.
