.A n MWy falls pp the hear
The words 'he's goneastray!'
* rom thosewho shared with him the joys
Of fortune's brighte'r day.
jThuman for the soul to err,
Beguiled by visions fair;
TEhe crush it not with words of scorn,
Nor drive it to despair.
Whtmen some frailson of earth shall pass
Benes misfortune's cloud,
I3O thou a light to gild the gloom
Of error's sable shroud.
Pereliance if jou desert him now,
Because he's gone astray,
No other friend may fling a smile,
Of sunshine o'er his way. -
'There's many a heart that strays afar
From virtue's beaten track,
Which, like the dove unto the arc,
ill ere long wander back.
One gentle word of kind rebuke,
May call-the roimer home;
No more in paths of vice and shame,
His wayward feet niy roam.
But, oh, one harsh, ill-spoken wor
May chill the erring soul,
Ana drive tie.victim far beyond
The limits of. control.
To see the friends of bappier days
Is coldness turn away,
Oft proves the bate that madly drives
The sin siok soul astray..
- When you upbraid the faults of youth,
Let not your words bi eold;
.or chiniag tones, like melted -lead,
Soon harden in the-mould.
But speak in aecents soft and kind,
'The wayward to roolam;
.And thud you'll dry the turbid stream,
From whence his errors came.
Wipe off the penitential tear -
.7%t glisten on his cheek;
And bid him turn.to virtue's paths,
And there forgiveness seek.
Upon his conscience, sick with sin,
'The balm of comfort pour;
And, like the Savior of mankind,
Bid him " go, sin no more "
EARNING GRAMUDR.
MR. EDITOR:-1 have been sendin' my
.dater to school to a scholmaster in this naber
hood. Last Friday I went over to the scool
just to see how Nancy was getting along,
and I sees things I didn't like by noo means.
The Scoolmaster was larnin her things en.
tirely out of the line of eddyeation, and as I
think improper. I set a while in the school.
house and heered one class say their lesson.
Ihey was a spellen, and I thot spelled quite
exceedingly. Then cumi Nancy's turn to say
her lesson. She said it very spry. I was,
shot! and detennined she should leave that
scool. I have heerd that grammer was an
-uncommon fine study, but I don't wanit eny
more grammer about my house. - The lesson
that Nancy said was nothing but the foolish.
eat kind my talk, the ridicles luv talk you ever
aeed. She got up and the first word she sed!
was
a I lose !"
I looked rite at her hard for doin so imn.
proper, but she went rite on and sed:
- Thou lovest,
He loves,"
ad I rekon you never heerd such a rigger
myrole in your life--love, love, love, and
nsothiuug but love. S3he sed one time,
U I did -lore."
See I, " who did'yer love I" Then thet
schollers laffed, but I wvasn't to be put off,
and I sed " who did you love, Nancy! I
want to know-who did you love ?" The
shoolmaster, Mr. McQuillister, put in and
aid he wouhdezplain when Nancy finished
dhe lemon. This sorter pacified me, and'
Nams went OR with awful love talk. I got
wans and wins every word. She sed
-"uI might, could or would love."
I stopped her again, and sed 1 reckon I
woukd see about that, and told her to walk
out of that house. Tho schoolmaster tried
,to interefere, but I wouldn't let him say a
,word. He sed i-was a fool and I knocked
him down and made him holier in short order.
I tamkt the strate thing to him. I told him
I'de show him how heede larn my dater
grammer.
I got the nbers together, and we sent Mr.
McQollister off' in a hurry, and I reckon
tharn be no more gramnmer teechin in these
parts soon. If you know of any rather ol
dish man in your region that doanmt teach
gramnmer, we would be glad if you wood
send him up. But in the footure we will be
,keerful how we employ men. Young school
,masters wont do, especially if thmey teeches
grammer. It is a bad thing for morils.
Yours till death,
THOMAS JEFFERSON SOIJE.
Wuus wee are young, we are slavishly
.employed in procuring something whereby
we may live comfortably w~hen wie grow
old; and when we are old, we perceive it is
Leo late to live as we proposed. So said a
jearned author 100 years ago. And is the
world ay wiser yet! Not muejb, if any. It
is still the grab game all over. " Get money
if you can, honestly. At all events--get
anoney !" Pretty lesson this, with all our
would be moral principles blushing arounmd
our necks. But these we contrive to hide
in our pockets, and only parade them at
church on Sunday. TIhe poet talks some
thing about " Man's inhumanity to man."
How pious we go it at church, too! But let
us not depair-the world is on the wend,
however slow.
" Earsaers Christianity," is what the
King of Siam said the first time lie hugged

.N ITAMA TRAGky.
A-recent traveler relates, that a favorite
dranatic piece in the towns of Genoese terri
tory is founded on the following .tragic story ;
A few years since there lived at Port Mau
rice, near Oneglia, two loveis named Anna
and' Guiseppa, the children' of widows in
good circumstandes, the rmer eighteen, and
the latter twenty years of age. The. parents
had given their consent to their union, and
the wedding day was soon to be fixed; when
during a short absence of Guiseppa, proba
bly brought about by artful contrivance; an
intriguing friend of the family prevailed on
the mother of the bride to give her daughter
to a more wealthy lover. Anna, overcome
by maternal importunity, did what she bad
not firmness to refuse to do, and promised to
bestow her hand on a man for whom she had
no affection. Grief, however, soon under-.
mined her health, and by way of amusement,
she was sent to the mountains to the olive
harvest. Her mother also went to see some
relations in the country, and an elder sister
was left home.
Anna, nevertheless, grew worse: nay, she
was so ill, that her friends, alarmed for her
life, sent her back to her mother's house.
Meanwhile Guiseppa had returned and the
report of Anna's intended compulsory mar
riage soon reached his ears. On the follow
ing Sunday he met her sister at mass, with
the urgency, and with the resignation, of des
pair, he implored her to procure a last inter
view with his beloved. They agreed that he
should find Anna in the garden. in the even
ing by moonlight, while the only guardian
domestic, an old sailor, was at the public
house.
: At the.appointed time Guiseppa was in the
garden.and there he found his Anna, weak,
pelancholy, and silent; she went up to him
with faltering steps; but in vain he questioned
her ; in vain he endeavored to draw from her
the acknowledgement that she still loved him,
and acted by compulsion-not a word could
be elict-mute, pale, and motionless she
tood like a beauteous statute before him.
At length he isped the adored object in gn I
ardent embrace, during which he buried a
poignard in her heart. She fell without a
,roan. .The murderer hastily fled over the
wall of the garden. The sister, alarmed at
Anna's protracted absence, went out into
arden, where she found her lifeless in her
lood, and with the assistance of the old
sailor, who had returned too late, carried her
nto the house.
The wretched assasin, impelled by savage
renzy after strolling about All night,, again
caled heaal0 f gar4r _jVgbar..h.o
onger found his Anna, but only her blood,
which he was busily employed in wiping up
with his handkerchief; when the mother, ig
orant of what had happened, returned early
inthe morring from the rillegiaura, accom
panied by the friend who was the cause of
the catastrophe, and, unlocking the gate, en
tered the garden. The frantic Guiseppa ran
to meet her, and holding the bloody hand.
kerebief close to her face, wildly cried,
" Conosei tu quel sangue ?". (Do you know
the blood ?) The mother rushed with a fear
ful presentiment into the house, where the
corpse of her murdered child. The maniac
again fled to the cavern of the neighboring i
ountains.
The corpse was decorated after the Italian
fashion, crowned with a garland of myrtle,
and deposited the night before the funeral in
an open coflin in the church before the high
altar. Here a person was placed to wvatch
it by the light of consecrated tapers. After
midnight the assassin suddenly forced his!
way into church ; the afrrighated watchman
ran off, but stopped at a distance to observe
his motions, and beheld the unfortunate
Guiseppa covering the remains of her wvhom
he had murdered from affection, with a
thousand kisses and burning tears; after
which, with the rapidity of lightning, he dis
patched himself by several pistol-shots, and
fell lifeless on .the corpse of his beloved vic
tim. The unhappy mother wvent raving mad.
During her insanity she frequently exclaim
ed,-" Conosei tu quel sangue I" and sunk
into a premature grave.
THE only substitute for money is polite
ness. With three bows and a smile, a friend
of ours last week traveled from this city to
Niagara, and lived like a fighting cock at
that. Cheap trip that.
As EDITOR GORGED.-A late number of
the I~opkinsville (Ky-) Press has the follow
ing excuse: We crave the indulgence of
our readers for the scarcity of editorial in
this issue. We have attended several wed
dings and parties wvithini the past day or
two, and consequently overcharged our ap
petite. In fact, we were let loose at a table
of good things and foundered ourselves.
THEn " Down East Debating Society"
having dismissed the question, " Where does
firo go to wvhen it goes out!" have got a
new and more exciting one up: " When a
house is o'n fire, does it burn up or burn
down ?"
A Western peda ogue, in "teaching the
young idea how to shoot," found it very
dificult to impress t ~eletter 'G' upon the
memory of an urchin of four years. He
finally asked the young hopeful, by way of
illustration: " What does your father say to
the horses, wvhen he wants them to turn to
the right ?" " Hep,! git along 2.40!" exclaim
ed the youthful prodigy, his countenance lit
up with animation. The teacher has since
adopted a different manner of illustrating
his subjcts.
A wag on seeing apet poodle which had
been shorn of its fleecy seat, remarked that
he deemied the act which had divested the
animal of its covering shecar eruelty.
WEAK doses of wash-hoard are now re
commended to young ladies who complain
of dyspepsia. Younrg men who are troubl
ed inthe same way may be cured by a strong
preparation of wood saw.

The City of Norfolk, which ordinnrily has
ibout 1R,000 inhabitants, has left only about
10,000, and Portsmouth which has about
[1,000, now only some 3,50-and yet
)ath, ia his triumphant progress, moves on
11 desolation, and fails not to add daily to
he increasing numbers he claims for his
;ictims. To add to the wretchedness of the
scene, some 1,700-workmen in Portsmiouth,
imve abandoned their Government employ
ent ; and sore .500 in Norfolk, employed.;
pon the drel.:s and streets, &e., have also
tandoned their labor, and have been with
,ut daily support for themselves and families.
In fact, all work is stolped and daily wages
or the poor suspended. So that gaunt La.

lie cities (is plague and pestilence. In ad.
iion to all this, they have heretoforo been

Fromn their brethren and countrymen. -t haa
baeen said that even the United States' bayo
re't hias been presented to them at Old Point
Comfort, and they denied a landing. I men
lion this to shew their painful situation, and
not to blane those under strict military dunty
perhaps.
Th Sisters of Charity, .those fit emle.ms
of Christian devotion and holy love,-,and
other bjenevolent persons who have gone to
the devoted cities to seek objects of distress,
have entered the abodes of sickness :and
misery and found it impossible to obtain the
ctual necessaries and comforts of life-and
aftter they have entered, the stepls of the
steamboats have been raised, and those fiee-'
ing from death have been refused a passage.
The railroads have been stopped and all
communicationi cut of!'. There they are
etis of woe anid despair ! There they stand,
like great ebarnel houses, with the sighs and
the moans of the dying, and the fixed gaze
o the dead.
There is no0 police-all having fled or!
died. he Mayor is left alone, and( has stood
nobly to his po'st, discharging his duties
bravely aindr taithifully. I am told, in one in
stance, he helped with his owvn hands to car
roteleven persons, with the disease, to a
cnevanee to be borne to some neighboring
hospital-and when lhe, at another time, at
tempted to order some negroes to do some
necessary work, they actually ill treated him
and re'used. Such a man furnishesa higher
example of true heroism and foititude,. than
can b brought from the battle field-for in
battle lie is cheered by those around him,
amid stiring events and all the excitement of
enthusiasm and love of glory: And if lie is
cut off from his friends and surrounded by
thiose who refnse his escape, lie can hav'e the
lst resort of a brave man-to draw his
sword arid cut his wvay through, or perish in
glory pon the field of fame. But here is
moore that' that--a Mayor, in the midst of a
city with plaigues amid pestilence-those to
stamnd by himi in authority, dead or dyiog,
wvith wo, an~d misery, and despair-yet stands
up like a manit to do his. duty-meets death
te to faice, and struggles with him over
nidnight scenes of lonely horror, all well
calculated to make the bravest of the brave
tremble. Such an example is worthy our
higeest admiration and deepest love.

INDIAN ATROCITIES IN ORECO1.
eion- paer receivl by th

letter from Capt. lluwett, published i

g account of a massacre by Indians ol
White River:
After two day's hard work, reached th
ionse of Mr. Cox, which we found robbed
:onfirming our suspicious that greater mih

ip the -river. We then proceeded to M
lones' place, where we found our worz
'ears more than realized. The house wa
>urned to ashes, nd Mr. Jones (who was a
ho time sick) was burned in it. Mrs. Jone
vas found lying about thirty yards from th
louse, shot through the lower part of th
ungs, lface and jaws, horrible broken an
nutilated, apparently with the head of a
Ixe. The bones of Air. Jones we found, th
oasted flesh having been eaten off by th
togs. We found Mr. Cooper (who was lis

indred and fifty yards from the house, shi
brough the lungs, the ball entering the hel
areast. We buried the bodies and proceede
o the house of~ W. H. Brown, a mile distani

marks of violence on it. It was not dresse<

the bed and attempted to flee. Mr. Brow
was founid in the house, cut to pieces. Th
left hand had two cuts, as though he ha

also two stabs in the palnm of the same han

e TILE DElOC10.ATIC COMENTN.
i. rit. Washington Union, comment
e, upon Col. ORR'S recent letter in regard
)f the Cincinnati Convention, thus discour
i upon the present aspect of the politi
i game:
g The House of Representatives is no%%
. the hands of a fragmentary fusioti. if i
e appellation may be applied to those %
are vainly struggling to get possession
r the organization. And, since Col. 0
e letter has appeared, this fusion has practit
y ly fulfilled more than his prophecies.
s, find it the daily theatre of criminations :
h recriminations, which we search )o!iti
it history in vain to parallkl. At the pres
writing there is no telling at what poin
s Speaker will be selected, and, if select
n at what point the disorganizing purposes
the abolihion majority will be arrested.
c. is an appalling reflection that to this Hou
- should the democratic party fail to be u
w ted in 1850, may be committed the gar
if responsibility of deciding between rival c
, didates for the presidency in favor ofr
a who shall serve for four years from the
t of March, 1857. We may have a major
I of the States; but, unless we shall be fu
it represented in the Cincinnati Convention,
e that the candidate there nominated may
s the candidate of all, a diflerence about p1
n sons may precipitate a contest into this VI
[louse of Representatives; and who c
e tell what the consequence will be? If
UI House cannot elect a Speaker, how Ic
11 will it be in selecting a President? Surelj
o is no conception of an exaggerated imagi
n tion to say that a failure to elect the lat
f by such a body is a much more ratio
h probability than the failure to elect the
l mor, and in that fearful struggle who
r asure us that the contest for the presiden
r may not be pushed tn the House of Rep
* sentatives beyeond the period when a n
e administration is to comtnence, thus leavi
ubli . without a Chief 31agistra

n of the United States, imitate this fIi C
fusion by refraining to come t.ther
m Cincinnati in the spirit of union L.d
harmony, in the spirit of the con,,i.uti
e and of all those holy and imperisihable si
timents upon which the true coistrnetion
that immortal instrument depenids? 6ot
Carolina should not, therefore, be inited
r. the noble circle of States which ::e to
t represented in the Natinmul Denoern
s Convention. 1 he verV fact that i.e
t been absent before is a reason vhy t
s should be present then. This is ap
e sive age. While we respect and vener:
e the past, we should be just to the exigenae
I, of the present and to the demands of i
n future. Nay, it is not going too far to s
e that if the illustrious son of South Caroli
e (Mr..Calhoun) were now living lie wvom
-see in the Demecratic National Conventi
e -ertainly ini the national democratic pia
it -the only element to protect the South fi
a its northern enemies,'and also the invineil
d champion of the federal constitution.
, propoi lion as fanaticism aspires to ni
I, wrougs, and more boldly lifts its hat
.against the covenants we are all bound
t obey and to fulfil, so is it necessary for tI
fwho are placed in the trenches to deft
the fortress of our liberties to pirotect the
rselves by every means withinm their pows
rand hence the importance of South Caroli
o Iemerging from the prond isolation wI
o she has occupied for so many years, and
I, taking that p)osition in the National Conyi
a tion to which the intellecb of her sons a
n Ithe commanding weight of her einarne
e among the southern people eminently ea1tl
d her. It seems strange to us, we uut ct
.fess, that this gallant State, which oni er,
eoccasion throws her suffrages for the deni
, cratie-eandidate for President, and rom
oin her behalf, by the disinteresedl img;:.
. mity of her position, the ,ardent felingL
sthe democracy ot other Stamtes, sho'inh!
,fuse to aid her sisters of theL South, aun
.encourage her sisters of thme North, withI
t piresenice in those conventions upmon I he
d cisions of which so umany graive initere
e depend. It is, indeed, to the credit amt
othe honor of the democratic parity that, wi
SSouth Carolina has not mingled in thle coi
11 cils which have selected our candidates,
that in all cases the pirinciples there avov
s haye generally met the approbation ofI
,f investigatinig atnd impartial judgmient. A
*, why, at the present moment, when the
-e vice of the best friends of the constitut.
s. is needed to protect that instrument agai
e the efforts of its worst foes-why she
r. not South Carolina come forward and tI
spart in the deliberations at CincinnaLti wvl
sthe democratic party meets in inationial e
1 vention? iWe confidently aniticipiate I
tthe action of that convention will meet
r. nplroval of South Carolina. It is easy
y see that, so far as regards the doctrines th
e to be laid dowvn, they will be such as
~entire South can approve, such as will br
e. the democracy together as one unbrol
I. brotherhood. It would be a cap-sheat
t the noble column if South Carolina could
present when our candidate is selected r
our creed proclaimed, to add her voic
f the ceremony whbich announces both to
1 democracy of' the American Union.
