Mine to the core of the heart, my beauty!
Mine, all mine, and for love, not duty:
Love given willingly, full and free,
Love for loves sake-as mine to thee.


Duty's slave that keeps the keys,
But love. the master goes in and out
vi his goodly chambers with song and shout
Just as he please-just as he please.
Mine, from the dear heads crown, brown


golden,
To the silken foot that's scarce beholden;
Given to few friends hand or smile,
Like generous lady. now and while,


But the sanctuary heart that none dare win
Keep holiest of holiest evermore
The crowd in the aisles may watch the door
The high-priest only enters in.
Mine, my own, without doubts or terrors,
With all thy goodness all thy errors,
Unto me and to me alone revealed,


''A spring shut up, fountain sealed
Many may praise thee-praise mine as thine
Many may love thee-I'll love them too:
But thy heart of hearts, pure faithful and


true.


Must be mine, mine wholly, and only mine
Mine God, thank Thee that Thou hast


given


Something all mine on this side of heaven.
Something as much myself to be
As this my soul which lift to Thee;
Flesh of my flesh, bone of my bone,
Life of my life, whom Thou dost make
Two to the world for the worlds works

A few years ago l made one of the
seventy-nine passengers on board the
fast steamer, Emily Barton, bound up
the Tennessee. A pleasant, intelligent,
go-ahead captain, good steward, and
social, refined company, made the trip
one of pleasure; indeed, long shall |
remember the saucy Emily Barton and
her superb living freight. One lovely
summer afternoon, it was whispered
that we were to have a we ding before
the boat reached her destination said
whisper started first low near the ladies'
cabin, and speedily made its way to the
hall, the boiler deck, and even to the
main; like the suowballs down the
mountain, gathering size, form and mo-

principals in the interesting scene were
not only pointed out, but the persons
some scraps in the history of each
fiction, fact and surmise, all hashed up
ingeniously, leaving you in the half
pleasant, half painful suspense and
doubt that opens the eyes so wide and
strains the drum of the ear so tight to
all transpiring around you. Well, we
landed to wood at a magnificent beach

with silver gray trunks, making deep
cool shade, while they, with the grassy
green bank that bore them, were in the

Cutting this charming spot in twain,

four spans wide, to lose itself in the
mass of Tennessee waters, they in turn

MISSIONER was the staging out than
there emerged from the ladies' cabin
fine, manly looking fellow, dressed in
faultless taste, intellect beaming in
every feature, while all over his face,
perfect happiness shone like phosphorus
on the sea; and leaning on his arm was
the most loveatle woman it has ever
been my lot to behold her fine hazel
eyes (tell-tales that they were) speaking
deep emotion, and her expressive lip
quivering with suppressed excitement,
while her step, dress and grace was that

many lip as we instinctively made way
to let them pass to the altar, and where
that was we had about as clear an idea
as transceHdentalist generally has of
what he is talking about. But one
thing we all seemed to know, that there
was fun ahead, and that fall in their
wake was the way to see it.


As the ladies passed, a gallant arm
was offered to each, and thus we march,

across the staging, and up the sloping
bank. Some fifty yards up the brook
the pair stopped, and, joining hands,

Lift her from the whirling waves;
She is very pale and fair,
And the seaweed's Shiny fingers
Hold her by her shining hair.
Hear the hoarse waves murmur low,
They are cheated of their prey,
And they break in angry surges
On the black rocks of the bay.
What fate was hers, ah me!


Death amid the dreary wavess
Did she see the mermaid's palace
Down among the ocean gravess
Did she see the coral halls,


Where the ocean -Inonarchs reign,
In their strange and solemn splendor,
Underneath the restless main
Did she greet with glad embrace,
Death among the waters wild:
Sank she in eternal slumber,


As in slumber sinks childs
All we do not, cannot know;


She is still and cold and dead,
And her soul has gone for ever,
Where no earthly words are said.

ships FiiEed IN a Week at Cork.
From the New York Herald, 9th.


The emigration from Ireland still in-
creases. Yesterday the sailing steamers
were the City Of Baltimore, of the In
man, and the Queen, of the National
lines Upwards of three hundred per
sons were embarked on board the latter
but the number taken by the former yes
sci was comparatively small, owing to
limited accommodations. Over five hun
dred were shut out, and will be sent by
the City Of Cork on Monday the 18th in
slant.


It is impossible to give any idea of the
extent OF the emigration movement, or
the anxiety Of the passengers to get away
from that country. Railway speed
scarcely suffices to remove them from
the interior, and the disappointment at
being detained even for an hour is be
yond comprehension.


Within period of seven days, ending
Monday next, the 10th, four steamers
will have been sent across the Atlantic
by the lnman company, and In addition
to these there have been the extra Gu
nard steamer Hecls, and the National
company vessel the Queen.


Two more steamers will sail to-mOr-
row, viz The Minnesota the new Guion
steamer for New York, and the Con-
cordia, of tie Warren line. for Boston
The extra Inman steamer, City Of Cork
will sail an Monday.


These, in addition to the weekly mail
steamers, make the number of vessels
sailing from this port with emlgrants
nine a week.

Our people are fortunate in having on the
Circuit Court bench such Judges as the
Chief Justice and Judge Brooks. The pres
ent Court marks an important event in our
history. The laws Of the United States are
again freely and impartially administered in
our midst, by the Chief Justice himself and
by one of the ablest jurists of our State.


The District Attorney, Mr.. Starbuck, and
the Marshal, Mr.. Goodloe, are performing
their important duties with their accustomed
ability, to the entire satisfaction of the
Court


It is thought the Court will remain in ses-
sion the greater part of the ensuing week.
We have seldom seen in the City a larger
number of distinguished members of the bar

The Chief Justice reached this City on
Wednesday evening last, on the Raleigh and
CASTOR train, and was met at the depot by a
number of his friends. He was conducted
to the Marlborough House, where he was IN
troduced to the Mayor and Commissioners,
and a number of citizens. In response to
the general desire to see and hear him, by
the large assemblage in front of the hotel, he
appeared on the balcony and was introduced
by Mr. Mayor Haywood. He was received
with much enthusiasm, and spoke briefly as
follows:


I thank you most heartily, my friends and fel-
lowcitizens, for the kindness Of your reception.
1t is equally unexpected and gratifying
You all rejoice, and rejoice with you, that at
length throughout our country all men are free

But l must not be tempted into making 6
| speech. thank you again for your welcome.


No language under the circumstances,
could have been more appropriate than the
foregoing. The Chief Justice was warmly
cheered as he retired.


The colored people turned out in large
numbers on the occasion, with music ant
banners. In addition to the respect they


were showing to the greatest living expoun

The proceedings of the Committee will be
found in our paper to-day.


1t will be seen that after full discussion, q
Convention of the Republican party was
called, to be held on the first Wednesday in
September. The disposition to hold Con-
vention some time during the Summer or
Fall, was general; but it was thought best to
hold it early in September, mainly because of
the fact that by that time the Registers will
have performed their duties, and will have
it in their power to atteud the Convention


There was no disposition evinced by any
one to ignore the March Convention. On
the contrary, that body was spoken of in
terms of high commendation by all, and its
platform of principles warmly endorsed
The meeting of the Committee was alike in
teresting and harmonious. The best feeling
prevailed among all who participated in its
deliberations. The Republican party Of the
State is unit, and will press zealously and
steadily forward in the great work of recon-
struction.

THE MOBILE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.


The following is the article published in
the Mobile Nationalist of the 30thi ult., ad-
vising colored people when and how to use
firearms, for which that paper was suppress
ed, as announced by telegraph q few days
ago:


To the Editor of the Nationalist: 8.


I wish you would give me space through
your honored journal to give word Of sd-
vice to the colored people of Mobile about
the use of firearms know that we are
accused of being turbulent and rotous, and
I also know that many of US are ignorant Of
what is right and dutiful in great degree;
that we are friendly toward the white peo.
pie as general thing, and that they would
be Just as friendly to US If we only could
agree with them in politics; and know too,
that there are many bad colored men - well
as bad white men, who will not agree with
anybody in what is just and good. But the
demonstration on the night Of the 14th
brought to my sight and to my mind one OF
the greatest errors that have ever seen the
colored people make. ! was in the thickest
of the firing, and had no. pistol because I
did not expect riot, and know great
many men who likewise lad no weapons.
Strange as it may seem, nearly all Of those
who did have pistols shot them of in the
air, where there was no enemy, knowing at
the same time that the alarm bell was -
busy as it could be, calling our enemies to
"Come!" "Come |" "Comer' But it ap-
pears to me that God had his finger In the
pie, and He directed Q general stampede OF
all parties. Had He not have done %, be-
live me, my friends, our enemies would have
rallied and come to the sound of the alarm
bell, and then and there they would have
found Us with empty pistols, and general
massacre would have been the result. beg
you, therefore, on all future occasions nfthst
kind, not to waste single shot until yon
see your enemy, then be sure be Is your cne-
my, and if you should pnt him to fight,
never waste the balance Of your smmnnitions
lest he should rally, and again assault yoa.
But dent forget my FIRST advice: lAoRt
shoot your. pistol until it is absolutely ne
cessary, and then be sure you shoot your
enemy. :. =.

A Paris correspondent of the Neoo Yo,k
Herald, in describing the subterranean sew
ers of Paris, says:


''The little, narrow, crooked streets, in
the very heart of the city, which the revo-
lutiOnists of former times could barricade
in few minutes by knocking over an ON
nibus and tearing up few paving-stones,
no longer exist, but have given place to
broad and beautiful avenues, which could
be swept and kept clear, with no difficulty,
by means of artillery. Soldiers need no
longer be shot at in their passage through
the streets by citizen revOlutionists, from
their windows. The splendid system of
sewerage, which has been perfected under
the reign OF the present Emperor, is some
thing more than system of sewerage-one
by means OF which troops can be readily
transported from one part of Paris to
another, unseen and uneXposed.
The primary object of these immense SUBJ
terranean canals and railways, which ex
tend beneath all Paris, is drainage. But it
will be readily seen what facilities they
afford for the transportation of troops, and
it is said that the whole Garde de Paris IS
exercised in small squads in descending
and mounting, in embarking in the boats
and disembarking in the cars. So that in
case OF their being transported in this man.

with it in advance. One of the outlets. one
of the principal stations for this network

over Paris is in the courtyard of the Tuii-

supplies are now liberal. We can spare
her five to seven thousand barrels of flour
and hundred thousand bushels of wheat
per day, without serious embarrassment.
The quantity of flour and grain now COM
ing upon this market is exceedingly large;
there is, fortunately, no speculation, and at
current prices these supplies can be kept
up. The quality of the flour and wheat
now going forward to Europe is very good.

of our markets. But current prices are

We clip from Harper's "Easy

prize lighting that should have wide
currency. They are embraced in the
two paragraphs following:

gusting of all cant. Of what conceiv-
able advantage to anybody in any
way was Blondon's walking over the
Niagara river upon tight-rope,
trundling wheel barrow 1t was

kind as the jumping of Sam Patch at
the Gennesee Falls: it was as noble a
spectacle as that of a man eating {,
whole sheep at sitting for wager.
Do we need the Benicia Boy to prove
to us that sound physical training
is desirable? Do we wish our sons
to be Tom Cribbs Such men are
as exceptional as the Belgian giant.
1t is good thing to move gracefully ;
shall we, therefore, applaud the poor
girl who devotes herself day and
night to poison herself upon the point
of her great toe! The Benicia Boy
could deal blow like a trip ham,
mer but he was not strong in the
true sense-that of endurance. So,
little fellow acquires the peculiar
agility of "All Right" by the sacrifice
of everything most desirable in boy.
A taste for exhibition of such wasted
strength and address is just as morbid
as taste for monsters in China, or
for stimulating drugs. 1t shows what
the human frame is capable of; yes,
but there are many capabilities Of
that frame which it is better for us
not to see.
