LET ME SMILE WHILE I CAN.
Let me smile while I can?there are moments of
sadness
Which steal o'er the heart like a cloud o'er the
sky;
And dimmed for awhile i& the sunshinejof gladness,
J
And tears follow fast as the rain from on high.
Let tne smile while I can?in life's rosiest bowers,
The flowers are always entwined with the thorns,
And how often it is the same evening sky lowers,
Which dawn'd on the brighest and loveliest of
moms.
Let me smile while I can?why should we deplore
them,
The dead who are .gone to their Ionysilent home,
VVe know not how soon the eyes that weep o'er
them,"
May shed the same bitter drops o'er our tomb.
Let me smile while I can?there are moments of
so r row,
Too numerous by far for our moments of joy?
And none from the past or the present may borrow,
One hour unmixed with griefs bitter alloy
BIRTH DAY PRAYER.
Mother, dear mother, no unmeaning rhyme
No mere ingenious compliment of words,
My heart pours forth at this auspicious time :
I know, a simple honest prayer affords
More music on affection's thrilling chords,
More joy than can be measured or express'd
Jo songitiost sweet, or eloquence sublime.
Mother, I bless the I?God doth bless the too!
Io these thy children's children thou art blest,
With dear old pleasures springing up anew,
And blessings wait upon thee still* my mother!
Blessings to come, this many a happy year,
For, losing thee, where could we find another
So kind, so true, so tender, and?so dear J

THE TANGLE COMBED OUT?REIJEF
TO THE PUZZLED.
I Mr. Pkxktsr : To see a strong man kicking
1 and squealing in bonds, moves one sadly. What
[ an objeet of pity to every beholder, (Delilah
excepted,) must Sampson have presented, after
he bad been shorn! I am moved for him at
this distant day. Nay, who can look, without
a sigh, even on a caged lion, especially when it
is known that he fell under the power of craft!
But my special and poignant grief at present
springs from the mental perplexity I have discerned
among some of your order of people,
(I tnean News-paper people) who make the very
air vocal by distressing lamentations over a
psychological mystery, or Mare's Nest, wfaieb
they stand over in the bewilderment of chatterI
ing consternation. It is with profound sympathy
that I observe persons of very great parts
| wrestling intellectually, as the strong man of
old displayed himself physically, with a puzzling
mystery, heaving under a night-mare, (as it

! splashing and splurging, the case of that excellent
person so celebrated by Bun van, whoso first
serious disinter wns encountered in tho "Slongb
of DesjKmd." I #e.ir. in short, a painful and
imploring jeremiad, at the corners and in the
streets after this wise: "Why, oh w yl hath
the blood of the Hogonot and Cavalier ceased
| its fiery course in the veins of a degenerate posterity?what
poisonous humours have been insinuated,
and bow, into the hearts of oar friends,
' 9
the co-opcrationis's, to bung flown, in incm,
to the ignoble standard of submission those
manly pulsations that in these our breasts* beat
sweet music to the ear of Liberty! Dear, Sir,
relieve us?cans't explain f Certainly I ean?
I have discovered relief for your mental agon v.
It shall not be suppressed; humanity demands
that it be freely dealt to the distressed. The
puzzle shall be unravelled. Hear then:
This extraordinary syi icope iu the tone of the
spirit seen with so much horror among oar "Sabs"
is owing to naught in the world, but that n?!
happy violation of nature which has arisen from
the neglect of mothers to give suck to their own
offspring. It will turn out that every " Sub"
in the State has been suckled by a bond-maid !
It is thus indubitably?for I bear it is quite settled,
by evidence from Orangeburg, Darlington,
Charleston, and so-on, that noue of oar white
matrons are submission men.

(indisputable) knew an earth that would not
nurse a plant from a atrango and different soil;
or if it did, it compelled the plant to take the
qualities inherent in the foster-mother. Who
has not seen mother Earth vindioate this her
law, that is, give sack apon her own terms to
the Hydrangea that rejoiced under bis very
nose? So, exactly with animals, high and
low, I mean with all that suck. Know ye not,
that when the lamb betakes himself to the dog
of the goat, he slides a little (lately written by
authority "a leetle,") in skin and wool, yea, in
very nature into the goat-kind! wnat is me
formula which the universal sense of mankind
has given to this same law of Nature touching
our species! Why, the following, no other:
"He imbibed his malice (or bis patriotism, his
craven spirit, bis religion dec.,) with his nurse's
milk." Now hear the proof in examples: And
first, from the more remote Ancients. Were
not Romulus and Kemus nursed by a wolf??
Tclepbus, (son of Hercules) by a hind ? Pelias
(son of Neptune) by a mare ? iEgisthus, by
? <mntf Wam fh?v not, each true to their
milk ? Second of the nearer Ancient*; -let l)i.
odorus testify. Nero's nnrse was given to
drinking, and so was he on that very account,
insomuch that he.was nicknamed Biberios, in.

Those who mean to imitate that enjoyment
may investigate this point for themselves.)?
Caligula, when a baby, was so obstreperous,
that hi9 nurse tempted him to take hold by
anointing her nipples with blood, what followed?
Why in after life (true to the great law
lam expounding) he committed murder for
pastime, and at length wished that the neck of
all mankind were united in one that he might
have the pleasure to cut it off, and so enjoy a
mnivnifii.Ant nnnl nf knmnn hlnoH lit (llinp. (i/t

swim in I suppose.)
Now, then, you have the mystery unravelled.
Let the laboring soul be henceforth unburthened.
Nature has been judiciously interrogated,
she has kindly answered. Do you doubt??Then
test it Happily the means are at hand.
Let each Southern Rights Association appoint
a scientific member (such abound, I believe,
blessed with abundant leisure^;) let him be furnished
with a spiritual stethoscope (1 know the
person who can supply those ingenious and
delicate instruments;) let him guage the soul of
each submissionist within his beat, ascertain
the precise degree of its degeneracy, and then
give us the true legend of the creature's nursery
life. Of cour8ol know the result: it will be
this, in exact proportion as he drew from a set
vile bosom so will be the degree of degeneracy
which the instrument will show; and e contra.
The rule of Three will do the details. Enter
then in a Record Book of the Association for
future use.
Now, friends do you ask mo cut bono 7?
Tho' it be not my business to answer or
consider?tho', I be merely on a question of
curious knowledge, tho' it be enough for
me that I find some interesting fellow.creatures
in a mental agony, tugging at a tough puzzle,
and I have pleasure enough in unlading them?
in raising the curtain?yet I remember somewhile
I have the satisfaction of teeiag myself
posing, as hereinbefore, the true rale whereby
sack is to be admtnistored secundum naturmn.
I may as Well pat the people under farther obligation
by setting down, after the fashion of a
doctor, the following practical rales, deducible
from my discoveries. Suppose job wish to
produce a generation, either?Krst, bloody
minded; or Second, 8o-so?that is Ce-operationists;
or Third, Cowards, that is submis
sionisls: .
Prescription 1st Let each baby suck bis
naturally appropriate nipple,occasionally moist*
ening the same with blood; be particular .as to
quality of the blood?any patriotic blood will
do. If you wish to produce a real Oaiigala,
moisten thos every day, you will haveaSoo of
liberty, turbulentenough by giving him the
bloody fluid once a week, he will be at least
a Secessionist, and very possibly one who would
rather do a common job without help than with
it.
Prescription 2nd. If you would nurture a
So so, or Co-operating generation, discard the
blood altogether and let the baby suck alternate
days (and this you will have to force htm
to do) his natarally appropriate nipple and a
servile nipple. -His daily rebellion against the
~ ** ?HI sh/v ?AAi) nf iikorfir ?nil kit
alternative win icvu wu? huv>y, ??
dnily subjection to the prescription will, in turn,
curb its luxuriance; and thus, very early education,
will aid the natural working of the law
towards the medium or compound of co-operation.
As thisw a very curious result I may
mention, to dispel at! scrapie of faith, that upon
die self-same principle, an observant farmer
has long known the process of making the
choicest flitch -of Bacon?that is to say, feed
the hog to-day, starve bini to-morrow, and so
on. '1'hence you bavo alternately a streak of
fat and one of lean.
Prescription 3rd. To make a generation of
cowards or sabojisaomsta, (all the same) you
know the rule already. Let each baby, to the
ntmAet nf Kin novor. suck a servile oioole.?
New don't despair of breeding freemen, (or
other descriptions of people, for a special end
according to year wants,) because it looks tike
a todioas business, whereas you wish forthwith
to plunge in medias res, You who go for the
first prescription, I mean people of Mood, observe,
you have already been long engaged in
the enterprise, and yoar mistake is now point*
ed out to you?it is in the matter of giving suck.
I add, be not weary in well-doing?have patience,
even as Moses had, when finding his
adults wonld not do for the business iu hand,
placed himself in circumstances whereby he
should bo able to shake off, by the help of old
and death, the incumbrances, while at the
* ??.?,? -same
Uroe be was nurturing up a generation, in
hardship, patient obedience and spiritual tuition,
adequate to the crisis and the grand denouement.
Besides, I hare seen, an eloquent ejaculation,
by some one of our animated instructors,
(a country Editor I think,) evidently looking
forward to a tolerably loug performance
ahead. It was something after this wise:
uFor freedom's battle once begun,
Descends from bleeding sire to son?
Tho' baffled oft, is ever won."
(I cannot recollect whether hetnade this transmission
a matter of descent or bequest, but n'importe;
it was a matter of generations.) I bare
however strove the aulyect,
ilfcWO UlUiV .
and clamorous my readore may be for more developments,
Yet, I wish to observe that my
discovery will be traoeable, in its effects, to
points extra-territorial It is easy to see (orempli
gratia) that oar Boston friends, when
they shall have sacked in the wisdom, I have
here provided for them, will cast off the horror
they have ever endared, even from the idea
" - " ?" '"Vinfr ?iek to our white babes;
Ol H "uegreas q(t?q ?.?
becaoso, ex necessitate rei, they wish as all to be

cause which bath produced that plethora of

end it is needful only to mention that the young
of abolitioudom imbibed that mild milk which
was churned a little by Cromwell's men, which
abounded much in the time of the Blue laws,
which ponred its soothing qualities upon multitudes
.of witches and noon Rooer William*.
Bat there is a peculiarity in that milk, not ex*
plained by my discovery?(I must refer the enquirer
to Professor Daniel Webster)* wbipb is this;
it hatb ever led those who have sucked it to
look with horror, upon alt persecutions exeept
those indulged by themselves; upon ait sufferings,
real or imaginary, at a distance, growing
intense in a geometrical ratio as the distarewof
