EI *-I*_C., JUNE 18,186 IDDN'T KNOW WHATITEANT. - He gave me a knife one day at school, Four bladed, the handle of pearl! And great blek words on the wrapper said "For the darlingest little girl," SI was glad 0 0 yes, yet the crimson blood To my young eeek came and went, And my heart thumped wondrously pit-a-pat, But I dif'''know what it meant. One night be said I must jump on is sled, For the snow was falling fast; I was half afraid, but he coaxed and coaxed, And be got me on at last. Laeghing and chatting in merry glee, To my home hi; course he bent, And my sisters looked at each other and smiled, But I didn't know what it meant. Thecyears pased on, and they touched his eye With a shadow of deeper blue; 'Tey gavo to his form a manlier grace To his eheek a swarthier gue. We stood by the dreamly ripling brook, When the day WaG almost spunt. Iis whispers were soft as th lulasby I And-now I know wshat le meant! TO ROSALINE. I love yuu-'tis the simplest way - The thing I feel to tell; Yet, if I told it all the day, You'd never guess how well.." You are my comfort and my light; My very life you seem I I think of you all day, all night Tis but of you I dream. There's pleasure in the lightest word Tbao you can speak to me ; My soul is Lke .le E.lian chord, And vibrates sti ti thve. I never rad a love-song yet, Lo triafng, fond, or true, - ut in my own heart I have met Some kinder thought of you. I bless the shadow on your face, The light upon your hair I I like, fur houis, to sit a'nd truce The passing beauties there I lve to henr your vvice's tone, Although I ou shoivull nut say A slngi- n Whep 0 1 you That wa; And you art Of happy 1. And Iz'u are And if yc. You're KEEP YOUR EYE 9N YOUR NEIGIBOUS. Take care -of them. Don't let them stir without watching. They may do some thing wrong if you do. To he sure j ou never knew them to do anything very I.ad, but it may be on your account they have F not. Perhaps, if it had not been for your kind care they might have disgraced them. selves and families a long time ago. There fore don.'t relax any eff'ort to keep them) where they ought to lbe; never mind ynur own business, that will take care of itself. There is a man passing idong-there he is looking over the fenice into his neighbior's garden-be suspicious of him, perhaps lhe contemphates stealing somethin'g some of these dark nits; there is no know' ing what -queer fancies he may have got intQ his head. if you see nny symptoms of any one pass. ing out of the path of rectitude, speak to some individual about it, and tell every one else you'see, but be particular and see a great many. It is a good w~ay to circulate such things, and tbough it may not benefit yourself; or any one else particularly, it will be some thing equally important about some one else. Do keep somethung going-ilence is a dreadful thing, though it is said there was silence in the Courts of Heaven for the space of half an) hour, don't let any such thing occur on earth; it would be too mnneh like Heaven for the inhabitants of this mun dane sphere. If, after all your watchful care, you can't see any thing out of the way in any one, you may he sure it is not because thiey have not done any thing bad; perhaps in an ungatrded tzomenrt, you lost sight of themi-throw out hints they are no better than they should be-that you should not wonder of peopile foundt out what~the-y were after a w'hile, and then they may not * carry their heads so high. Keep it a going and some one w'ill take the hint, and begin - ~to help you after a while-then there will be music and everything will wvork to a charm. HazBL-EYED GIras.- Major Noah says ~that a "hazel eye~impires at first a Platonic sentiment," which gradually b~ut surely ex .pands into love as securely founded as the rock of Gibraltar. -A wotman with a liazel eye never slopses from her husbatnd! tiever chats scandal, never fitids fault, never talks too muich nor too little, always is an enter taining, intillectual, agreeable and lovely creature." " We never knew," says a broth er editor, " but one uninteresting and un-. amiable woman with a hazel-eye, and she had a nose whlich lookcd, as the Ynkee . .says, " like the little end of nothing whittled down to a point." The grey is the yign of * shrewdness and talent. Great thinkers and captains have it. In woimn) it inidientes a better head than heart. The dark hazel is noble in insignificance, as in its heanty. The blue eye is amiable, but may be feeble.

He had scarce ly stepped from the door of thw "Swiss Cottage," mlhen at) enormour eagle scooped him from the earth and bore him to his nest, high up amoug the mountains, and yet within sight of the house of which he had been the joy. There he was killed and de voured, the uyrie-heing at a point which was literally innecessible to man, so that no re lief could be afforded. In tearing the child to pieces, the eagle so placed his gay jacket in the nest that it became a fixture there, and whenever the w ind blew it would flutter, and the sun would shine upon its lovely triminigs and ornaments. For years it was visible from the .lowlands, long after the eagla 11d 4andoned the nest. What a sight it must have lbn J!? the parents of the victim.

Second-Resolved, That our geographi. fa and politicil position with reference to the other States or this continent, no less than the interests of our commerce and the development of our growing piower, requires that we hold to the sacred .principles involv ed in the Monroe doctrine.

We' need not go ach tn the early days of the Republic and nd Istitute a comparison between the two ommonweahths then, to show that South arolina did even more than Massachusetts a the crisis of nationial exist nce for the auae of American liberty.

Generals .Lincoln md Greeni constituted 'the entire New Eng and force that ever crossed the Carolina ioundary, and the battles of Guiford Court [louse and King's M~ountain, of Eutaw an lamden and the Cowpens were fought by southern troops alone. But without going nto the history of the past, in what aspects ive Massachusetts and South Carolina resented themselves to us in our own days Who has forgotten the recreaney of tbe for. er in the late war with Mexico, when the allntt Lincoln, a man worthy of the high. est memories of Bonker Hill, drummed hrotgh tho whole State, from Cape Cod to Berkshire, without obtainitng a corporal's guard of Yankee volunteers to fight the bant ilesof his countrv. Lowell, the A bolition it poet, even huni the shltameless effrontery o boast in dloggerel rhyme thatt the boys of Massahusetts were not quite so greena as to le caught by the call of' patriotism. Ad dressing himself to Lincoltn's fifer, he said: "Toot away, you fier fellow, Let 'em see how spry you he Guess you'tl toot till you are yellow 'Tore yau get holder me." Mr. Lowell's patrioti~e feling was as low ais htis verses int a diRferen(sense, atnd so it was with the whole population of his State. 3aniel Webster sent a son to the field and LIncoln went too, andl both of them fell on the slippery slopes or Buena Vista, brave fellows! and there spilt all the blood that Massachusetts could spare 'In snech an emner geney. Howv different, was it with South Carolina. Thtirteetn hundred of her youth marched at the first call, under thte lead of the heroic Butler, honored name, of whom not more thaan one- fourth ever returned. The Colonel fell at the head of his regimont, pierced with many wounds, ad Ms fQIlo.w. ers were shot dowit -around hiia it pneery hand. And tiMs dleyetion tit country wan .hw n- was which South Carolina diap. proved and Mr. Calhoun had dleelared utn righteo'us! We might pursue the parallel so disgrace fal to Massachusetts still farther and poin to the social condilion of the two States Massachusetts torn by the wildest fanatism, with infidelity, conimuninsm, agrarianitm, spir. itualism running riot and rampant thriugh. out her borders; her people crazy, her leg islators demoralized -South Carolina, or. the other hand, quiet, peaceful, conservative, no mobs diskracing her cities, no isms afle ting the sober sense of her citizens -hut iP is useless. As we regard the tuit sowereignl. ties, however, now so msuch irritated agaiisi each other, we cannot he.lp thinking that, if they -were to fight out the Brobks and Stu. .nor dilliculty, hand to hand, without extra neous assistance, we shoold soon see th. moral superiority of Carolina strikingly den.. ontrated.

FRANCE, IDEHARi(, AND TIRE UNITED STATES. Among the oddlest odds and ends of diplo matie intelligeuce bronght by the last steam er, is one to the effect that the~ French gov erniuent had' recently addressed ai very ener gel ic, if not commanIlhding, note to the Danish governmiient, insisting that the. latter show ai comipliaint atnd ready spirit in seeing its (lit ficulties; the object being to hinde.r a con filet with North A merica. This is repiesen ted as a direct effort oin the part of Louis Napoleon to weaken tho great reliance ot Deumark on England. Tlhere can be iio question that France has, by dint of sheer pishing, contrived to gain a very deided toothold- in Denmark, andl that she was first and loudest in ai~suring Denmark of her support in the matter. Frneh impers have abused America fair moare than the English hamve done for our interference in established E'uropreaminr mai. timie customs, an~d the abhove statemenit rel-i tice to the note would seemi extraOrdiniary did we niot remember two things. Thle first is, that since the. peace was concluded the Anmglo.1 reneh alliaiice has virtually ceased with it. TIhe second, and try far the most important poiint is, that both France and Englanid are at present desirL's ot putting off a war with this country. T'hey desire that it miay be postponed until disunioti shall have made such headway among us that they msy have bunt little ,to dread. A war with Eng'larnd or France, eveni now, would quench, certaiinly for a time, the tlamnes of discord, unite the North and dihe South, and restore political krarmony. Neither Fran~ce nor Englatnd desire this, and they natu rally wish to see a war postponed unitil odr ridienlois strife on the slave qgiestiotn has got us aill by the ears. TIhen Louis Napoleon will let us hear from him. Till then he comminend(s peace with the United States. Pada. Bulletin. A SEnloUs OBJECTION TO BUCHANAN.
