WANT TO GO HOME.


" want to go home" said a weary child,
at the close of a summers day.
She was tired out with running ABOUT,
And she'd none with whom to play
"I want to go home said heart-sick girl,
AT the end of q promenade
AT brilliant ball in splendid hall,
Where its beauty began to fade.
" I want to go home" said a poor sick boy,
In 2 far-off, distant land
" / want to be nursed as ! was at first,
And soothed by my mothers hand"
" I want to go home said foolish maid,
Who had left the parental roof
Who had braved her fate, and discovered
too late
That she'd better have borne reproof.
d" / want to go home, said the prodigal son,
Who had sickened of wanton pleasure.
Who had broken his truth, and wasted his
youth
In search of golden treasure.
All want to go home when this life's done
And the hard-fought battle is DER
To join that band at His right hand,
To live forevermore.

IT rs OVERI

1t is certainly no news, and may be of no
interest to our readers to state, that the i'm
portant election to which the eye and hope of
the nation were directed but fortnight ago,
has come and gone. Its result to our party
has been disastrous, overwhelming and COM
plete. If the nation can withstand the shock,
be it SC, and we shall submit to the decree of
fate with becoming resignation, and endeavor
from the lessons of adversely to gather fresh
courage and put forth new zeal, in the con-
aicts of the future The returns are still in
complete, but sufficient is known to indicate
the result so clearly, that all anxiety upon the
subject has subsidized, and the people now,
like old Micawber, are quietly awaiting to
see what next shall 'turn up" When We
receive the vote in full, we shall publish the
same, but it will suffice for the present to
state, that the great Ulysses has swept, as
with wand of enchantment, all the States
from Maine to California, save (and the ex-
ceptions appear like oasis amid the deserD
New Jersey, Delaware, Kentucky, Maryland,
Alabama, Arkansas: Georgia, Louisiana, New
York and Oregon, which vote for Seymour
and Blair. The latest returns coming to
hand, leave North and South Carolina in
doubt

PERSONAL.

The Editor of this paper is for the present.
confined to his room by severe indisposi'lon =
With proper care and temporary resp,a s
from the labor and toll of business, it may ~
of short duration, but at the present "ri'lus
he has faint hope for so sansuine an '1 wow
tion. During the interregnum "n'on 2
yoocnr from his accustomed labor, he commits
his journal editorially and otherwise INTO the
hands of those whom he is satisfied VIII give
the hest endeavors that circumstances Will
allow or the press of duties permit, to render
the paper acceptable to its readers. 1t be-
comes necessary in this connection, indeed
made specially urgent, that he should renew
the appeal of last week, for DEL1NoUENTs to
come forward at once, and liquidate balances.
The necessity for this must be so apparent,
that more on the subject would be super
fuous. 1t is sufficient to state, that paper
