And my pulses quicken wildly. as the Low,

nave felt my proud heart struggle II
temptations trying hour;
let amid the DIN of conflict, bending ole,
life's hallowed shrine,
yielding all, my soul has murmured. I am
thlne-forevcr thine
Is 1t a sin to love thee2 What were exis
tence worth
Bereft of all of Heaven. Thar linoers s.;,l
on earth
Friendships smiles. like CLEANS of sunlight
shed their gliding DER the heart;
but the soul still cries for sometime. more
than friendshi, can impart
frozen hearts, like ice bound eyries that
no summer ray can meet,
fainly boast their power. to conquer, what
their hearts have never felt;
But envy not thy glory, mid the rapture
that is mine,
When, with earnest soul. | fell thee 7 an,
thine-forever thine, 81
Is 1T sin to love thee2 Gentle voices
round me fall, Go
And presa warm hearts about me. bnt
Eve given thee my all
What, though stern fate divide us. and our
hands, not hearts, lie riven-
My all of earth thou hast-wilt more? 7

Yet in Some blessed moment, when orr
dark eyes flushing meet
When I feel thy form so near me. hear tbv

Then feel (may GoD forgive me) T could

Is it sin to love thee2 remember well
the hour
When we vowed our love to smother, and
resist Temptations power;
When felt my heart was breaking. and
my all of life was gone;
When wept the hour met thee and fba
hour that 1 was born
But hidden storm was raging, and amid |
the muffled din,
flung my arms around thee, forgetting if
was sin:
Close pressed upon thy bosom, with thy
WARM hands clasped IN mine,
/ smiled through tears, and murmured I
am thine, forever thine!
~ ~ -
Is it sin to love thee, with loves signet
on thy brow ? -
Though thy lot be dark as Hades, I'll cling
to thee as now :;
For mine the heart to rail thee when 9TH
er cheeks grow pale:
we have shared the storm together, I'll
stand by thee through the gale
Though our barks may drift asunder. vet
with true hearts beaming high,
Let the golden sunlight cheer us, or the {
angry storm clouds fly; {
From our helms, with steady brightness. {
our beacon lights shall shine q Fl
And the watchwor5s on orr penons, shall {

And before High Omniscience my bar :;

On the breath of love to Heaven, ascends '
thy blessed name,
And plead weak, erring nature, if loving r
thee be shame.
Heaven knows it's no light sacrifice I've 8
offered up to thee !; b

Let sailors sing OF the windy deep,
Let soldiers praise their armour,
But in my heart this toast I'll keep
The Independent Farmer.
When first the rose, in robes of green,
Unfolas its crimson lining,
And round bis cottage porch is seen
The honeysuckle twinng
When banks Of bloom their sweetness yield
To bees that gather honey,
He drives his team across the field
Where skies are soft and sunny.
The blackbird clucks behind the pow,
The quail pipes loud and clearly;
Yon orchard hides, beyond its bough
The home he loves so dearly.
The gray and old barn doors cnfod
His ample store in measure,
More rich than boarded heaps of gold,
A precious blessed treasure;
While yonder on the porch there stands
His wife, the lovely charmer.
The sweetest rose on all his lands
The Independent farmer.
To him the Spring comes dancingly,
To him the Summer bushes;
The Autum smiles with mellow ray,
His sleep old Winter bushes;
He cares not how the world may move,
No doubts nor fears confound him,
His little flock are linked in love
And household angels round him.
He trusts to god, and loves his wife,
Nor grlefs nor ills can harm her;
He's natures nobeman in life

RALEIGH. n. c. An

RALEIGH, N. c., Aug. Il.
For the past three weeks there has been
but little rain, scarcely sufficient to lay the
dust and the corn crop in this vicinity is sul-
fering very much. 1t is thought that the
yield this year will not exceed two-thirds of
that of last. There was a fine rain TODAY,
but it is feared it came too late to benefit the
early corn. The weather is very warm.
BALTIMORE. AUG. 49,
Accounts from almost every section of the
State represent a general prevalence Of drouth.
In the lower counties corn and tobacco crops
are suffering dreadtuly, On the eastern
shore it is stated that only half a crop of corn
lean be saved. In the vicinity Of Baltimore
the gardens and pasturage are almost burnt
lup. With the exception of occasional light
showers in some few localities, no rain has
fallen for weeks. For three days past the
weather has been very sultry,
WASHINGTON, Aug. 49,
Persons who have arrived here from Vir-
ginia give distressing accounts of the effects
from the long drouth in that State, and as
sert that unless they have rain soon the corn
and tobacco crops will certainly be thoroughly
destroyed. Letters from Georgia also repre-
sent that apprehensions of great danger to the
cotton crop are felt in that State because of
the dry season.
