THE WINE CUP. NJ MARY L. GARDNER. Stay-stay thy hand, lift not the cup Of rosery glittering wine: Though clear its depths, there lurks beneath A curse for thee and thine. Ye say it gives a merry heart, And drives away dull care; It brings, what else thou wouldst not know. Unmixed and dark despair. Ye say it has a power to drown - Thoughts of life's sternest il, To bring forgetfulness of woes And conscience voice to still; Believe it not-oh ! never seek Oblivion in the bowl A draught will only deeper fix The agony of soul. Ye say it stirs the slugglish blood, AnJbids it quicker flow# ,Ye say 'tis plkasant on the lip, . brie itszow. - Lead pted, trusting one, To misery aid shame ? Then 'taste not, touch not.'-dare yo thus Your glorious birth-right stain ? Would ye-descendants of the free. Clank the inebriates chain ? No! by the nemory of the brave Who sleep beneath the sod Shake off the curse, and give your pledgo To virtue and to God. THE FARMER. Drive on, thou sturdy farmer, Drive cherily o'er the field; The pleasures of a farmer's life No other life can yield. Thou risest with the morning sun, To till the fruitful earth; And when thy daily task is done, Thou secek'st thy peaceful hearth. Thou lovest not the gaudy town, With its tumultuous roar; Plenty and peace thy fireside crown, And thou dost ask no more. Monarchs with robes in crimson dyed, Arc low, compared with thee; They are the pampered sons of pride, Thou art God's nobility. Go on, thou sturdy farmer, Tread proudly on the sod, Thy proud and goodly heritage, Thou chosen man of God. The Three Brides. "Do you see," said the sexton, "those three hilloeks yonder, side by side ? There sleeps three brides whose history I am about to relate. Look there, sir, on yonder hill you may observe a little desolate house, with a little straggling fence in front, and a few stunted apple trees on the ascent be hitnd it. It is sadly out of repair now, and the garden is now overgrown with weeds and brambles, and the whole place has a desolate appearanCe. If the winds were high now you might hear their crazy shut ters flapping against the sides, and the wind tearitng the gray shingles off the roof. Many years ago there lived in that house an old man, who cultivated the few acres of ground that belonged to it. " The father wats a self taught man, deep ly versed in the. mysteries of science, and as he could tell the name of every flower that blossomed in the wood or grewv in the garden and used to sit up late at night at his books, or reading the mystic story of the starry heavens, men thought he was crazed or be witched, and avoided him as the ignorant ever shun the gifted and the enlightened. A few there were, and among ,others, the minister, the lawyer, and the physician of the place, wtho showed a willingness to ifford him countenance, but they soon dropped his acquaintance, for they found the old man somewhat reserved and morose, and more over their vanity wans wounded on discover ing the extent of his knowledge. " To the minister he would quote _the fathers and the scriptures in the original tongue, and showed himself well armed with the weapons of polennie controversy. He .atnished the lawyer with his profound atc quaintance with jurisprudence; and the physi cian was surprised at the extent of his medi cil knowledge. So all of them deserted him, and the minister, from whom lie differ ed in some trifling point of doctrine, spoke very lightly of him; and looked on the self. educated farmer with eyes of aversion. " He instructed his son in all his lore; the languages, literature, history, philosophy and science, were unfolded one by one to the en thusiastic son of the solitary. Years rollet. away and the old man died. He died when a storm convulsed the face of nature; when the wind howled around the sheltered dwelling, and the lightning played above the roof, and though he went to heaven in faith and purity, the vulgar thought and said that the Evil One had claimed his own in the elements. I cannot paint to you the grief of the son at this bereavement. He was for a moment once distracted. The minister came and muttered a few hollow phrases in his 'ear, and a few neighbors, im pelled by curiosity to see the interior of his dwelling, came to the funeral. With a proud aud lofty look, the son stood above the dust and the dead, in the midst of the band of hypocritical mourners, with a pang at his heart but serenity upon his brow. He thanked his friends for their kindness, acknowledged their curiosity, and then strode away from the grave to bury his grief in the privacy of the described dwelling. " He found at last the solitude of the mansion almost insupportable, and he paced the ebony floor from morning till night, in all the agony of woe and desolation, vainly importuning heaven for relief. It came to him in the guise of poetic inspiration. He wrote with wonderful ease and power. Page after page came from his prolific pen, almost without an effort; and there wasa time when he dreamed (vain fool) of immor tality. Some of his produclions came be fore the world. They-were praised and cir culated, and inquiries set on foot in the hope of discovering the author. He, wrap ped in the veil of impenetrable obscurity, listened to the voice of applause, more deli cious because it was obtained by stealth. From the obscurity of yonder lone mansion, and from this region to send lays which as tonished the world, was indeed a triumph to the visionary bard. " His thirst for fame had been gratified, and he now began to yearn for the compan ionship of some sweet being of the softer sex, to share with him the laurels he had won, and to whisper consolation in his ear in the moments of despondency, and to sup ply the void which the death of a father had occasiond.3 He, .ul to himsef is he had chosen for his motto, " whatever ias been done may be done," lie did not des air of success. "In this village lived three sisters, all beauifni and accomplished. Their names vere Mary, Adelaide and Madeline. I am ar enough past the age of enthusiasm, but ever can I forget the beauty of those oung girls. Mary was the youngest, and a hirer haired, more laughing damsel never lanced upon the green. Adelaide, who was i few years older, was dark haired and pen ive; but of the three, Madeline, the eldest, possessed the most fire, spirit, cultivation md intelleenality. Their father, a man of taste and education, and being somewhat uhove the vulgar prejudices, permitted the visits of the hero of my story. Still he did not encourage the affection he found spring ing up betwveen Mary and the poet. Vhien, however, he found that her afflections were engaged, lie did not wit.hhold his consent from their marriage, and the recluse bore to his mansion the young bride of his affee ions. Oh, sir,the house assumed a new ap pearance within and without. " Roses bloomed in the gardenjessamines peeped through the lattices, and the fields about it smiled with the effects of careful cultivation. Lights were seen in the little parlor in the evening; and many a time ould the passenger pause by the garden gate to listen to strains of the sweetest mu sie breathed by eboral voices from the cot tage. If the -"mysterious student and his wife had been neglected by the neighbors, what cared they ? Their enduring mutual affection made their home a little paradise. But death caime to Eden. Mary suddenly fell sick, and after a few hours' illness, died in the arims of her husband and her sister Madeline. This was the student's second heavy affietion. "Daiys, months rolled on, and the solace of the bereaved wvas to sit wvith the sisters of the deceased and talk of the lost one. To Adelaide lie offered his widowed heart. The bridal wvas not one of revelry and mirth. Yet they lived happily, and the rose again blossomed in the garden. But it seemed as if fatality pursued this singular man. When the rose withered and the leaf fell, in the mellow autumn of the year, Adelaide too sikened aiid died like her sister in the arms of her husband and Madeline. "Perhaps you will think it strange young man, that after all, the wretched survivor stood again at the alter. Madeline ! I well remember her. She was a beauty in the true sense of the word-she might have set upon a throne, and the miost loyal subject, the proudest peer, would have sworn the blood in her veins diseended from a hundred kings. She loved the widowed for his pow er, and his fame, and she wedded him. "They were married in that church-it was on a summer~ afternoon-I recollect it well. During the ceremony the blackest cloud I ever saw overspread the heavens, and the moment, this bridepronounced her vow a clap of thunder shook the building to its centre. All the females shrieked, but the bride herself made the response, with a steady voice, and her eye glistened with a wild fire as she gazed upon her bridegroom. When arrived at this house, she sunk upon the threshold; but this was the timidity of the maiden. "When they were a lone he clasped her hand and it was cold as ice. He looked -into her face, " Maiden," said lhe, what means this? Your cheek is as pale as your wedding 'town." The bride uttered a frantic shriek. SMy wedding gown !" exclaimed she, no, no-this is my sister's shroud! The hour of ,.nfessin has arrived. It is God that impels me to speak. To win you I lost my own soul. Yes, yes-[ am a murderess! She smiled on me in the joyous affection of her young heart-but Lgave her the fatal drug. Adelaide twined her whole arms around my neck, but I administered the poi son. Take me to your arms, I have lost my soul for you, aid mine you must be!' " And thei," continued he, in a hollow voice, "at that moment came the thunder, and the guilty woman fell dead on the floor !" The countenance of the narrator expressed all he felt. . 4And the - bridegroom!" asked I, " the husband of the destroyer and the victims what became of him ?" "He stands before you!" was the thrilling answer. lossuth's Address to the People of the United States. BALTIMORE, Oct. 28. The Union of this morning publishes Kos suth's Address to the Peopfe of the United States. It makes five columns in that paper. He tells us, if the United States had been a neighboring nation at the time of the Hun garian Revolution, all Europe would have been revolutionized. I extract the following paragraph from the close of the addresn: "Free citizens of America! You inspired my countrymen to noble deeds. Your ap proval imparted confidence. Your sympathy consoled us in adversity, lent a ray of hope to the future, and enabled us. to bear man fully the weight of our heavy burdens. Your generous fellow-feeling will still sus tain us, until we realize our hopes and faith that Hungary is not lost forever. "Aecept, in the name of my countrymen, the acknowledgements of our warmest gra titude and our highest respect. I, who know Hungary so well, firmly believe she is not lost; and intelligent citizens of America have decided, not only with impulsive kindness, but with reason and policy, to fan unfortun ate but not subjugated Hungary. The sound of that encouraging voice is not like a funeral dirge, but a shrill trumpet that will one day call the world to judgment. "Citizens of America! to you I declare honestly, that my aim- in the federation of Hungary with sialler'nations was to se cure the nattonality and independence of each, and .tle feedom of all; and had any thina b ha e gary,--the. Magyars had only to knov. itand it would have been performed with readiness; for freedom, and not power, was their desire. "May God bless your country forever! Nfay it have the glorious destiny to share 6vitli other nations the blessings of that lib ;rty which constitutes its own happiness md enduring fame. May your power he the terror of all tyrants, and the protector of the unfortunate, and your free country ever ,ontinue to be the assylum for the oppressed Df all nations." - .0 LIFE IN TIE WEST.-A Western corres pondent relates the following anusing ini. lent which lately occurred near the Hot Springs of Arkansas: "lIy friend had been staying several days at the Springs confined to narrow quarters by the incessant rains. It ia y naturally be supposed that he gladly took advantage of the first intermission of the elemental strife, to walk out and see something of the country. Having walked about a mile from the tavern where he lodged. lie saw a small house, so thickly surrounded by trees as not to be dis. tinctly observable from the road. Advanc ing from the opposite direction, he perceived a rough looking six footer, clad in a buck skin hunting shirt, with a large Blois'd Are stick in his hand. Evidently not knowving his proximity to a house, or any humnan be ing, this individual suddenly drew himself up to his full height and witht the whole force of his lungs, produced a sound which my friend declares to have been the best imitation of the braying of a Jack that he ever heard. Apparently pleased with his performance, lhe was in the act of drawing himself up for another effort, when a stout fellow rushed out of the hotuse with his rifle in his hand, and in no very measured or polished terms objurgated him for making such a horrible noise, which he said had almost frightened his little daughter into fits. The other apologized, on the ground that he was not aw~are of his being so near a house. "-It makes no difference," said the owner of the soil, "you shan't make such a noise here, and if you do it again i'll break every bone in your body." "Look here, stranger," was the reply, "if you come to talk of whipping, that's a game that two enn play at, I reckon y'ou ha'n't got much of the ad vantage of me there. I've been wanting to bray all day, and came clear out here where I thought I should'nt interfere with nobody. A pretty free country, to be sure, that a man can't bray where lie pleases." RESEMBLAcEs.-Some philosopher has remarked, that every animal, when dressed in human apparel, resembles matnkind very strikingly in features. Put a frock, bonnet and spectales on a pig, and it looks like and old woman of eighty. A bull dressed in an evercoat would resemble a lawvyer. Tle a fewv ribbons round a cat, put a fan in its paw, and a boarding school miss is represented. A cockerel in uniform is a general to the life. A hedgehog looks like a miser. Dress a mon key in a frock coat, cut off his tail, trim his whiskers, and you have a city dandy. Don keys resemble a good many persons. THE MhAN who said that the moon was made to encourage courting, was not far from the truth. There is a voluptuous all overishness that creeps over one whilebasking beneath the influence of silver-plated night, that leads us as naturally to love, as lawv does to trouble. A Smwir.-Of all the melancholy sights, a bachelor's home is the most so. A house without a woman is like a world without a star, dark, desolata and drer.

Affleck, esq. of Missis sippi. BAnnEnus LooK OUT!-Mr.Andrew Jack son Davis comes out in the Hartford Times in favor of mien's wearing their beards. He says the hairs of the beard are ultimnations or continuations of nerves; those of the hard coating and membrance of the eye are connected with the beard the upper lip, and when that is shaved of the nerves are exposed to injury ; some diseases of the eye le attributes to shaving. In women, these nerves instead of terminating in the upper lip arc buried in the cheeks, and have much to do in controlling the phenomenon of blushing. Bronchitis and maladies of the lungs are produced by shaving off the beard on the chin. M~r. Davis also argues that mustachios are no obstacle in the way of eating, or any other function in which the lips are employed. What Mr. Andrew Jack son Davis says, we presume, must be true; but if he wishes to consign to their graves the occupations of barber and hair-dresser, he must take some other course. Men will be shaved, and women will.-Boston Herald. -0 NEW SYSTEM OF SWrimmx.--We see it stated that an ingenious Frenchman, M. Danduran, has invented what he calls a newv system of swimming, or walking in the water, however deep. The first experiment was recently made on the Seine, in the pre sence of a vast concourse of people, includ ing a number of scientific gentlemen. What the invention consists of, is not stated ; but six persons, provided with the apparatus, jumped into the water from. several boats, and having sunk up to the neck, remained there at rest, with the most calm self-posses sion. In this posture, a bottle of wine and a tumbleg was passed to the nearest, wvho drank a gass and thea handed it on. The six then lighted cigars, and .took a walk across the river, with as much ease as if they had been on terra firma. It is said that pro pellers of some sort are fixed to both hands and feet, which allow a man provided with them to succor a drowning man without the slightest risk to himself. SoUTr CAJnOLNA EnBTEY.--At an extra session of the Presbytery of South Carolina, held in the Presbyterian Church at Laurensville, on Saturday, Oct. 25, Rev. David Wills was ordained and installed into the Pastoral charge of the above Church. Rev. E. T. Buist. preached the sermon on the occasion, from Jeremiah, 3, 15., in which he presented, in a very clear and comprehen sive manner, the nature and responsibilities of the Pastoral office. Rev. John MeLoes delivered a faithful and affectionate charge to the Pastor, elect, and Rev. C. B. Stewart closed with an appropriate- and impressive address to the congregation.--Laurensville Ilrnld. PRANCE.-Mr. Walsh, long a resident -of ParIrin ilditer to-the Journal of Commerce, written on the 26th September says: "That great events are just before is cer tain. That crisis of which I have often spoken to you is drawing very near. Be tween the -16th day of. September and the middle or. end of next May the destinies of Europe foi obAbly half a century-which in these days is a very long time-will be decided. A fierce struggle-it may be a most desperate and bloody struggle-lie tween liberty, civil and religious, 6n the one hand, and hoary despotism in politics and religion on the other. What will be the issue, God alone knows! "I find that there is a wonderful netivity here in the political world. The foreign am bassidors, ebpecially those of Austria, Prus sia and Russia, have frequent conferences, and are constantly sending and receiving des patches. Nor are the'.Ministers resident of the smaller Powers, such as Sardinia, Naples 'Spain, the States of the Church, Beigium and Holland, idle. Those of England and the United States are wide .awake, and the former has not a -little tp do ti look aft* these Continentals, and the inovements of theirrulers." THE PLAGUE AT- PALMAs.-DEATH OF THE AMERICAN CoNSi AND FAtmL.-The New York Journal of Commerce contains an extract of a letter from an officer on board the United States brig Porpoise, dated Teneriffe, Sept. 4, giving an account of the terrible ravages of a plague, -esem bling the cholera, which has swept over Palmas, one of the Cape de Verds. 'One fifth of the entire population, of 18,09,0, have fallen victims, and the disease is sfil raging though somewhat abated.'.#The wri ter says: t " The family of our consul, (Mr. Torres,) 1 together with himself, are all dead, with the I exception of one. child.

Mr. Torres sent them all into the interior upon the first appe-grance of the pestilence, but hearing afterwirds that some of them were sick, he started off to join them, and on his arrival found them all dead,servants included, with the exception of the child here mentioned.

But it has now been ten d.,ys since the operation, and'the patient is walking about, leaving no doubt of its ultimate favorable result.

I SEE A LIGHT-l'3i ALMOST HoE.-The following is related of a young girl, whose journey of life was near its end: t About her chamber glided the loved forms of her parents and only sister. She silently S noted their movements with a mild expres- h sion of her dying eye, turning it from side to side. Arrested by her peculiar look, so ex pressive of affliction and patient suffering, s they paused to look upon her, whom they only saw now but dimly through their tears, and so soon should see no more. r A feeble effort to speak, a quivering, voice- I less movement of the lips, drew closely p around her the loving hearts of that sorrow- r; ing circle. Miother, father, sister, all came V loser to her side. A playful smile lit up her e countenance. She laid her little pulseless e hand within her mother's palm, the closed b her eyelids to the light of earth, and sank hi away. The cold, damp air of death's shad- in oway valley seemed circling over her. Slow- hi ly sinking down, she glided towards that ri ver's shore, which, like a narrow stream, di- ii vides the spirit..land from ours. But see! ti the quivering lips essay to speak! "Mo. u ter!"' Oh! how each heart trobbed now, t] and then each pulse stood still. They listen. ti "Mother !" the dying girl breaths forth-"~I 'I -see-a light-I'm almost home !" b Blessed thought ! Light is sowvn for the righteous, even amid the gloom and darkness ' of the grave. t A GOOD .ToKE.-The Adrian (Michigan) Expositor is responsible for the following; A tall keen-eyed countryman stepped intos the Court room at Detroit, the other day, during the progress of the rail road trihil. Stepping up to a spectator, lie requested that thb prisoners might be pointed out to him. The man he accosted, being somewhat a of a wag, pointed towvads the jury.

A .Southern Rights meeting was lately ield af, Wilmington, N. C., and addressed by Duncan R. McRae, a noble champion of Southern liberties. The Tllowing acebunt a taken from the correspondence of the Afarion Star: This meeting was a Solidern .liihts af. 'air, entirely. gotten up by the people of the :ounty, who had invited Mr. McRae to ad iress them during county court week, on the iubject of Southern Rights, wlich4ge*did..n' i speech of two hours and forty-thice Mj.i. iutes '>recisely. - He commenced by illuda ng to the'fiscal operations. of the genral ,overnment-contrasted .the population of he two sections; with the amount of feve iue paid .by each; and asserted, and chal enged.denIal, that the South had confribut d at least4four-tifths of the treasury to crt y on the government since its organization; Llluded to the compromise measures bf4he ast oirgiess; proved that instea4 of their eing compromise measures, they were no. hing more nor less than concessions on the )art of the South. In alluding to the marine departmenf o? he country, hjsaid that the harbor of N1g fork alone had more lighthouses than tileg vere lamps on the whole Southern coast. He maintained-the right of a State to se :ede from the Union, and proved by quoting rom a number of sages and patriots that it vas a constitutional, inherent right of each itate, when she may feel herself aggrieved o secede from the compact; that the con ederation wa.formed by an act of seces ion. This may seem strange to some, that he Union was formed by acts of secession; mt if those who may doubt it could hr.ve card the speaker, their doubts would have anished like the darkness of the night be ore the rising the sun. He alluded to he contemptible sneis of certain editors at South Carolinii-related an incident of the ate Mexicanswar, which runs, as far as I can ecollect it,. in:..this wise: At tle battle of hurubusco, when the cny w asgou ' a leadly fire ,.r the- American lie, .Men. hields, in. whose. brigade was placed the lewYork,.

At last lie turned to the comman er of the South Carolina regiment, Colonel 3utler, and says-"Colonel, who of your egiment will follow. me in assaulting yon ttery and arresting its deadly fire?" The ,olonel stepped out and answered-"Gen ral, South Carolina is ready; we came rom home for this very purpose; we will do mur duty though we perish in its execution!" Xod ! is not this bravery ? And the noble ouled Carolinians did do their duty to the ery death-for when the battle was ended, south Carolina could not count more than a hird of the number that she had sent into hat terrible confieL Yet, for all this dis lay of bravery, there are editors in North ,trolina-here in W7ilington-who raise he pitiful finger of scorn at the- position ihich your State now holds in the Union. Ir. McRae, in speaking on this subject, said i substance: "There are editors of news :ipers who cannot see an inch beyond their ose," who endeavor to lead the minds of he people, " when they have not sense nough to lead the minds of one-them ets." He said to the enemies of South arolina-" deride her-scorn her-scoff at er-sneer at her to your hearts' content, if ou will; but her, fame will be preserved rhen the reptiles that crawl over her soil ball cease to waste their slime." WEBSTER ON Co-oPERATIoN.-The Sec. try of State has just made a speech at loston, and from the following it would ap ear that lhe knows something about co-ope tion at the South.

THE L~.mns.-The Unionville Journal has communication from a lady. In publishing Sextract from it, the Journal says: The very women of our country will blush ir the degradation of their State; they feel at their country has been disgraced and umiiated, and had they the power, would radily burst asunder the chains which have een fastened upon our State by her own ns. We wish that those who call them. lves men possessed half the spirit of our nknown friend. Listen to what a woman a say and hang your heads for shame: " It is my glory that -I am a secessionist. nd wvho am I? A yankee, foreigner, or a ry? My father was a nullifier, my grand ther a renowned revolutionary whig, and 2y grand-uncle was hung by the tories and ritish at Blackstocks." Thus speaks a lady of the present' day, rho understands the real nature of the pre et political agitation better than the great najority of those who call themselves the nerds of' cration.

Scarcely any attempt is now made to recover a fugitive slave, without either the owner, or some one else being either. killed or wounded. Look at the horrible tragedy at Christiana, where several were killed and many wounded. At the -recent outrage at Syracuse, where the Marshal, in the dis charge of his duty had his arm broken-and say whether the prospect is not dark indeed, and whether there is any hope of it ever growing brighter. Must the South still bear on, when she sees the very law on which she anchored her hopes daily infracted, and her citizens killed when they attempt to recover their property. Is there no point in which-she will resist.-N. C. Hornet's Nest. DIVIDING CALIFORNIA.-The lato news from California informs us that-a most im portant step has been taken by the inhabi tants of the Southern country, desirous of dividing the State and forming a territorial government for that portion. Two addresses have been issued to secure concert of action, and a convention of-delegates has been called to assemble in Santa Bnriara on the third Monday in October. Delegates have already been appointed to attend from Santa Clara, San Diego, and other counties. All the members of the Legislature recently elected from that setio: of the State are pledged to urge a division at the ensuing session.-South Carolinian. - DIRECT TRADE.-Speaking -of move ments now on foot in the South, the' New York Times says: The regulation of prices is a chimera; but the project of a direct in tercourse between the South and Europe, which is a principal object of the Macon gathering, is not at all chimerical. The trade of the Southern States' is large, and. susceptible of any amount of extension. The progress of manufactures in their midst naturally suggests a corresponding develop. ment of commerce. The commodities are ample, the shipping procurable, and thei economy of saving the cost of coastwise transportation to a Norther'n port obvious. The only wonder is the movement was not made long ago. WHITE MAN VS. EB.ACK MAN.-A d~spatch dated Rochester, N. Y., Oct. 25, says: "Great excitement was produced here, to day, in consequence of a new but'very dark feature in the political arena. The Whig District Convention met, this afternoon for the purpose of nominating a candidate for the Assembly ; and on the first ballot it was ascertained that J. P. Milliner, wvhite man, had forty-four votes: Fred. Douglass, black man, twenty-one ; scattering, thirty-four. Mr. Milliner w~as finally nominated, by one majority." THE SECRETARY OF THE NAVY, in reply to a petition from the Councils of New-Or leans for a Navy Yard at that place replies that he thinks the service at the present time requires no additionalyards. A FEMALE WRITERSa -"NNothig looks wo'rse on a lady thanidaed st'ocking." Al low us to observe that istockings which need darning look much worse than darned ones. ' LET A.MAN form a frendship with a we-. man, even though she be no longer young~ or handsome, there is 'i softness and tendes ness attached to it, that no male friendship can know. A YOUNG man-stepped into a book store, and said he wanted to get a Young man's Companion. " Well, sir," said the booksel ler, " here's my daughter."
