NOWHERE TO GO.

Nowhere to got These narrowing words
Came from 4 maiden sad and lone;
By bowling winds as keen as swords
her fragile form and garb were blown.
She paced the grim old streets and courts
with hunger pictured in her eyes,,
Those spots where savage want resorts,
And hope, long bafiied, sinks and dies.
The maiden meier had stained her name
With any crime, but long she'd pinned;
She Stunned the paths that led to shame,
While love lay perfect in her mind.
This needless city, proud and vast,
Where life's great currents crosswise go,
Saw not this creature rudely cast
Adrift, and dying of her woe.
She heard the hum of restless crowds,
While grief was written on her face:
Her rags, like thin and tattered shrouds,
Half hid and half revealed her grace.
She vearned to catch some kindly eye,
One face where pity might be seen;
For earth seemed like a darkened sky
That shows not where the sun has been.
She wandered long, but died at last
OF want and woe, yet no one cared;
Her Enclosed eyes were heayenward cast,
And with a giassy luster stared!
Cold on the pavement stretched she lay,
A marble pallor on each cheek;
Yet on her lips there seemed to play
A fond and faint desire to speak.
Nowhere to go! o God, how long
VIII these sad words strike on our ears?
They're ever falling from the tongue
And mingling with the bitterest tears.
They rise and fall on every side
Where want without crime may dwell
Where women burning miseries hide,
And men their sorrows scorn to tell.
An age may come. God speed 1t on!
When famished millions shall be less;
And pity reach eacn friendless one
With gifts designed to cheer and bless
An age to hush the tragic cries
From hungering hosts in every land;
Wherein the pining poor may rise
No more tween death and want to stand!

A correspondent of an exchange paper
gives the following remarkable examples
of the Importance of single vote;
We have all, OF some time or other,
realized the Importance of single vote
The following instances have fallen under
my notice. One vote in the city of New
York, returned a Republican member to
the Assembly, which made n majority in
the Legislature of that State for Thomas
Jefferson, and give him the vote of New
York, without which he could not have
been elected. The whole policy of the
United States during the Jefferson and
Madison administration, period of
sixteen years, hung on that one vote. One
vote elected Marcus Morton, Governor of
Massachusetts, in an aggregate popular
vote of 100000. One vote elected
William Allen, in the Chillicothe district,
to Congress, in the year 1884, and one
vote subsequently made him United
States Senator for six years afterwards.
The following case of this kind, is still
more remarkable: In 1880, Dan Stone,

THE BRIGHTER SIDE.

The world is not all dark-somewhere upon
its side
A silver light Is shining, like a vail upon a
bride;
And through the darkest shadows that form
its face awhile,
Somewhere star is shining, like mothers
happy smile.
The world Is not all cold-for meath its
ocean arm
A mighty heart Is beating, ever loving, ever
warm!
And though its brow is furrowed, from
marches OF the years,
In boundless moods it still can laugh, or
melt 10 tender tears.
The world Is not all sad-somewhere the
swift hours bring
Joyous burtts OF music from the lyrists OF
the Spring;
Somewhere the children play--somewhere
the flowers bloom;
Somewhere Loves flame Is burning to cheer
the deepest gloom.

Observation-Disclosures College,

We cheeriully comply with the request
of an esteemed subscriber in giving space
to the following extract from the Com
mencement Sermon of Rev. j. I. Free.
man, of Corinth, delivered during com.
mencement week at Clinton. The Bap.
tist denomination of Mississippi, with a
zeal and lberality that cannot fail of sue
cess, have resolved to endow Mississippi
College.
The College re-opened on the 2Sth ult,
with fine prospects of increased patron
age:
Our State in a religious and social
sense is prospering, and we are happy to
say our young men are ceasing to look
beyond our borders for joys and hopes {:
The old homesteads and graves of their
fathers are becoming more sacred and
dear in their eyes. The tantalizing rain
bow on the Western horizon has ceased
to attract them by its false and fading
promises. They begin to realize the fact
that Mississippi has too much in her his
tory and traditions; her productive hills
and fertile valleys her genial and heal
thy cline her noble sons and lovely
daughters, to be deserted and abandoned,
because of a momentary shadow pass
ing cloud whose force.is well nigh spent.
They see the bright twilight of brilliant
new day breaking, soon to be followed by
the sunshine of peace and growing pros
per;y. A rich harvest Of plenty is bend
ing its rich shcaves in our fields. Joy
and hope radiates from every face. Nor
is this all. There is a bright ray of hope,
whence once came dark tide of woe.
The national Horoscope indicates that the
heart of the nation is melting into u COM
mon sea of renewed love.
Brave men love the brare. Il is the
cocard only that hates torerer. Our hearts
are softening midst the Kindly influences
of common christianity. The sons OF
Washington, Madison, Calhoun, and
Haynie could not long be angry with the
sons of Adams, Hamilton, Webster and
Montgomery.
The latter are looking with wistful
eyes upon our fertile plains and genial
cline. They are wearied with battling
the Indictment seasons of the North. They
want to come amongst us, not as some
others have come, to spie out our liberty
and prey on our substance, but as patri-
OTIS of common heritage; as men of
capital and enterprise, who will help us
in rebuilding our waste places with their
capital and well directed labor, and there
by make our wilderness places blossom
again as the rose. As Joseph met Reu-
ben in Egypt, after long and cruel sep.
sration, so let us meet them in love and
strong fraternal faith, so that by our
united efforts, our land may become a
very Goshen as it will, and the latter
days of our State, like those of the patri-

The Prince and the Orphan Boy

The Duke of Clarence, afterwardI
William w., having served well anC
faithfully through long and active ap
premiership in the British Navy, was, in
1856, from the recommendation of absO
lutte personal merit, raised to the rank OF
post.captain, and appointed to the com
mand of the frigate Pegasus. 1t was on
bright morning in April, when the
Prince, having received his commission
and his ship, was on his way to his tailors,
in Plymouth, to get the new uniform he
had ordered At street corner he saw
a boy crying, and stopped to inquire the
cause. The lad looked up through his
tears, revealing handsome, winning and
intelligent face, and replied that his mo.
ther had died only few days before, and
that he had been cast homeless into the
streets. "Where is your father ?" asked
the Prince. He was lost in the Sussex,
on the Cornwall coast, two years ago.
"And you have no friends?" Not a
friend in the world, sir" "Then | must
find one for you. How old are you p
81 am twelve-almost thirteen" How
would you like to 60 TO sea in a first-rate
man-of.war?" The boys face frightened
as he answered that he should like it
very well. The Prince took out his
pocket book and wrote something upon a
sheet of paper, which he gave to the
boy, with shilling. eco down TO the
DOCK" he said, "and with this shilling
you will hire boatman to take you of
to the Pegasus. When you get on board
the ship, you will give this paper to the
officer whom you find in charge of the
deck, ard he will take care of you. Cheer
up, my lad Show me that you have Q
true heart, and you shall surely find a
true friend" Murmuring his thanks as
best he could, the lad took the shilling
and the paper, and went his way. Ar
rived on board the Pegasus, the officer OF
the deck received him kindly, and sent
him to sit upon gun-carriage under the
break of the poop. In less than an hour
the Prince came off in his new uniform ;
and the boy was strangely moved upon
discovering that the man who had prom
Used to be his friend was none other than
William, Duke of Clarence, and captain
of the frigate. The boy, whose name
proved to be Albert Doyer, was taken
into the cabin, where his Highness ques-
toned him until satisfied of his wor-
thiness, and forthwith he ordered the lad
to be rated as a midshipman, and from
his own purse he procured an outfit.
During the voyage to the American coast
the Prince became strongly attached to
his youthful protege, keeping him about
his person continually, and instructing
him in general branches of education, as
well as the principles of seamanship.
Time passed on, and the boy grew to Il
man. His heart had been true. In the
after years, when William was king, the
sovereign signed with his own hand the
commission which made Albert Doyer Il
rear-admiral and he exclaimed, as he
put his signature to the document,
There-if 1 have done good deed for
England, it was when | saved to her SER
vice that true and worthy man !"
