The rosy lip, The lofty brow, The heart that beats So gaily now? 0, where will be Love's beaming eye, Joy's pleasant smile, and Sorrow's sigh, A hundred years to come? Who'll press for gold this crowded street, A hundred years to come? Who tread yon church with willing feet, A hunwlred years to come? Pale, trembling Age, And fiery Youth, And Childhood, with Its brow of truth, The rich, the poor, on land and sea, Where will the :aighty millions be A hundred years to cuiue ? We all within our grats shall sleep, A hundred years to come! No living soul for us will weep, A hundred years to come! hut other men Our lands will till, And others then Our streets will fill, While other birds will -ing us gay, As bright the sun shine us to-day, A hundred years to come ! If Thou Wert Mine! If thou wert mine, mlly dearest love, My all, my only treasure, This faithful heart would cease to rove, Sedue'd by smiling pleasure. Like those bright spirits from above, To erring mortals given, Thou wouldst my guardian angel prove, And lead me on to heaven! No more my soul by grief opprest, Would yield itself to bitter woe For in thy heart 'twould find a rest, And feel a happier glow ; Yes. pillow'd an thy snowy breasts Where sorrow cometh never. I'd deem myself amid the blest, And dream ofjoy forever ! If, wandering thro' life's tearful vale, Temptations sore betide me, This loving heart will never fail, With thee, dear girl, beside menc Then come, my love, und be mine own, My all, my only treasure: All peace I11 ld in thee :,l.ne, An'l e 'ry blis-ful -le.as..re!

If the South has never leen united in feel hg against the North, she must now unite and contribute heart and hand to defeat a domin:ant and insolent party-a party who are determined to destroy our institutions. and to carry out their schemes they have united in one voice.

Too0 nmany Southerners have hir herto been blind to their owna interest nand the in terest of thec South, in patronizmng Yanakees and promoting their interest and neglecting the tmeritt andl worth of Sonthernm intellienace and energy.

So gently, so silently to they fall that the little violet scarce opes its si eye to note the intruder,-or a petal of the I) Jasmine vine scarce trembles as it receives its B diamond treasure. They descend like gentle 1 zephyrs from silvery clouds, kissing the flowers G and hanging in pearly coronets around the w rose ; while all nature seems, with one accord in to spread weide its flowery arms to receive so gentle, so grateful a refreshing. The most l acute observers fail to note their descent, but still they know the glorious power that bade the sparkling diamonds fall. C, Though so small, a dew drop often does more real good than the pelting rains which fu shatter the delicate corollas. H->w coustantly fo they descend-how never-failing their minis- Pt try! .As soon as twilight deepens, the thirsty flowers spread wide their petals to drink these leavenly tears.

" Go thou, and strive to do thy share; at 0,m- talent,-les than thiue, lo improved with steady zeal and care Would gain rewards divine." A smile requires no effort, and, as the dew 'l drops to the withering, thirsty blossoms--so t is a sweet smile to the tried and weary heart ed. " As face answereth face in water, so the 01 heart of man to man." Did you never feel " your heart bound with pleasure, as your - mothaer's smile beamed upon you ? What words s a niothi's vimile conveys ! What sympathy, i what cncouragement ! 'Tis a precious dew 1s drop, rich and lasting, whose influence is silent yet omnipotent. Cheering words and deeds at are often as refreshing as the shower that greeted Ahab in his chariot. 'There was in a distant city, a little lad, the . sole support of a widowed mother and help less sisters. By dint of labor and economy to he had obtained the means to purchase a few oranges, hoping by their sale to obtain a few q W more coppers so as to purchase wine for one of his sisters who was in a dying state. Standing at the wharf, as a magnificent steamer landed, he timidly approached one of the passengers, uflering Lis little all for iielaae.

The bombardment ud capture of Fort Sumter by the troops of ie Southern Confederacy is another proof of ic superioy vigor and decision which that overnment has manifested ever since Mr incoln's election. It is natural that it should e so; for while the cotton States have troughout shown themselves to be a unit on te great question of secossion, the statesmen td counsels of the Northern section have een divided as to whether it should be war acquiescence. Besides, the South had ecn deliberately preparing for the blow, and > these preparations the Republican party as blind from first to last. Neither Lincoln )r Seward seems to have believed in the irnestness of Jefferson Davis and his coad. tors, and probably some such feeling as at still lingering, caused them to be too late their tardy attempt to reinforce Fort Sum r. That General Beauregard possessed a -cat advantage in being with his army on the tut is true; but that alone will not accoutf r the fact of the Washington Cabinet allow g the place to be bombarded and captured ithout even an attempt being made to re Ive it, although that Government had plenty soldiers and ships of war at its command. is said that a storm delayed the expedition y relieving squadron ; but the dispatches ate that, while the bombardment was going i, the United States ships-of-war remained uie:ly at anchor outside the harbor. When r. Lincoln's Cabinet decided upon not re >gnizing the Southern Commissioners, and run treating the seceded States as still in se Union ; when it had taken its resolve to ep possession of the Federal places and pro ;rty still in the hands of its officers in those ates, it ought, one would have thought, at ic same time to have adopted effective modes carrying those resolves into action. If they d not mean submission of the Southern onfederacy, they meant war; but instead of te decision, promptitude and preparedness hich a warlike resolve lmp!ies, six weeks ere allowed to pass away without anything ing done. Mr. Lincoln's attitude was from se first an attitu.le against rebellion ; con. ruing the Constitution of the United States he does, and looking to the obligations of s oath, he had no option ; yet his Govern ent, from whatever causes, hold bauk from ere stb uisue n ot L eeU ' an II ,n4as ss*J -.

Proba y it could not understand the mneaning of e phrase, "nuntil these troubles should be !er," supposing it formed any part of the fer, any more than we can understand it. they were intended to foreshadow a peace solution, why shouild not Mr. Lincoln have id so at once ? Bunt he could not mean at ; for peaceful solution is neither more r less than the recognition of the indepen mece of the Souhern Confederacy. We can yt suppore that the cessation of these troubles cant the suppression of the rebellion, as Mr. incoln holds it to be, by force; the substan i withdrawal of the garrison of Fort Sumter cens to negative that interpretation. But if mean neither the use of for ce nor the peace I recognition of the South, it meant ntothinig all; for nobody can pretend to believe at the Cotton States, with their peculiar stitutionls, can be persuaded to re-enter the nion upon any terms of modification of the onstitution that the free Statea of the North ther would or ought to sanction. The athern Confederacy may, therefore, have id good reasons to reject the offer in ques-. on ; and so the act of war accomaplished in harleston harbor on the 1 3th of this month acame inevitable.

There will be exasper.tion at what will be regarded as a military defeat the foolish feeling of vindicating the honor of the Union will be intensified, anld the cry will b war. Yet there is really no oem'sion for such a feeling, as there can be no rational object in coercing the South. The military honor of the Union has received no stain. Maj. Anderson and his garrison, we are told, defended themselves and the fort to the last. The fire on both bided was hot and spirited, and the bombardment lasted forty hours. Without in the least doubting the bravery either of assailants or assaulted-without questioning the undoubted recklessnoss' of safety with which both sides performed their duty, we may yet be allowed to rejoice that no carnage is reported as the result of this fierce deed of arms. The modern Americans seem to have revived the secret of the Italian Condottieri of the middle ages, and can attack and defend, bombard and capture strong places, without the loss of a life, or even a limb on either side. The bloodlessness of this engagement ought to be a reason with our American friends, N rth and South, to tempt war no further. It is difficult to estimate the moral effect which this success will produce throughout the various States, and especially in the bor der communities, which are cautiously calcu lating probabilities before they finally declare for union or secession. 'These border States are evidently inclined to cast their lot with the South, which offers to them many advan tages of which they, would be deprived by a union with the North. In many respects the Montgomery Government is superior to that at Washington ; the tariff is moderate, em bracing free trade principles, and presenting a strong contrast to the Morrill tariff, which is virtually prohibition, and is fast driving trade to the Southern ports. If the border States do unite with the South, the isue of the conflict can scarcely jbrm a subject for speculation, because the North will be de prived of its most productive, powerful and wealthy districts.-Liverpool Mercury, April27. Virginia will probably secede immediately, without waiting to go through forms, and will unite her arms with those of the Confederate States. Other border slave Staten will pro bably mingle in the strife on the same side. Lincoln, in distrers, will summon to his aid the militia of Ohio, New York, Illinois, and other republican States of the northwest, as he has already called on the State troops of Pennsylvania. The lighting, therefore, will lie of the most terrible description-close, fury which consanguinity ever lends to the battles of brothers.-Licerpol Post, April27. llaving bred so badly in South Carolina.

He had served in the United States Army for live years with <dis tinction, but prompt'y resigned his conasis slun when South Carolina seceded. Duri:,g the bonbardneit of Sumter he was stationed on Sullivan's Island, above Lort Moultri'-, and had comnuand .f Company 11, c.misting of nearly 100 men. He hadi a difficult post assigned to h'm i for not. only had he com mand of a shell battery, from which he in. cessantly assa.led the ener-y and contributed largely to his defeat, but he cotunanded also a gun battery bearing upon Maffit's Channel, and had to keep a sharp lookout for the fleet.

Capt. Butler exhibited, in his exposed situation, the highest courage, cjo! nessand skill throughout the pratractel strug gle, and vindicated his e!aims to a full share of the heroic and daring spirit of his revolu tionary fathers. We trust the madness and folly of Black Republicanism may not pluge the country into a protracted civil war; but should it do so, Capt. Butler will always be found, we co:.fidently predict, where his gallant uncle ever was in Mexico, " near the flashing of the guns." And in any position which may be assigned hit, he will reflect honor upon his native Carolina, and win new laurels for the name of Butler. JUSTICE. Vigilance at Home. In the present disturbed state of affairs, it becomes us to be upon our guard 'gainast the designs of evil minded persons, who maj be disposed to take advantage of the existing ex citenent, as a cover for their own schemes of private gain or revenge. We know of no reason for suspecting such a state of things in our own oommunity, but recent events in Charlotte and lHeatdermniaa, N th Carolina, should at lenst have the efleet of mating us to bo on the lookout againt the occurrence of similar outrages in our own midst. In our town. measures have . been taken by the or. neighborhood, coumpamnes of alarm or reliet mnen should be organized and practised in the use of arms, and the ordinary military evulu.ions, from which eilicient night-watches should be tiktailed.
