SPEEOCI OF THIE soura. Avatiatl thoi year of dark and deylxis ways, Of hopes deterred, and infinite delayal Athwart t'is. landof corn and wine Thou broke thy promise iere to siinel In dalliance thou didst charm. the ear, When freedom's ceremants -were nearl Thy cry was "Peace"-but peace came hlot With IIessian bayonets and with shot I Thou oried "all's well" upon our coast! But false as hell's thy impious boast. All is not well when Carolina weeps O'er mighty dust that liar 1agubila keeps; Nor is all well when shivering in the cold, Young Texas bleats like sheep Opon the wold, And let Virginia and our Sumpter tell, How " Aeedom shrieked" when Stonewall Jack son fell! Oh recreant year, thy heritage of woe Ilath slain the saintly for the envenomed foe; Now Southern hearts are breaking in the street, While midnight vultures o'er their carrion meet. They basked awhile in our Confederate zone, And now they snarl o'er putrid Federal bone! Oh oft we strive to peer thjro' mist forlorn, To rue the day our grandaires oer were born; To shake the splendour of a diamond crdwn, For partnership of fools and Yankee Olown! Say crownless year, what hast thou done for us? Why not impeach thee? It wai ever thus, That trust in Princes was most bitter gall, Blut trust in "PIrty" is the worst of all! Can menory purge the time our battle blade Glitter'd through wars dim smoke, and made A line of llistory writ i vandal gore, That nations saw with wonder, though our na tion Is no more! We strainh'd our eyes for freedom's rising sun Of truth and justice in our land begun! But bloody stars have risen on Carolina's sight, Whose law is ruin, and whose might is right. Fresh tears are falling o'er this new-born grief, For fertile promise withered in the leaf. Our crowns of bays, are turn'd to crowns of thorn And riot rule cre plenty fills her horn! The clouds are lowering on the horizon! The mormingeometh, but without the sun; Oh, treacherouts year, 0h peijured hours of t lie! Ye sang a requium Wer lie tvunm's ftirit olime. A nightimnare binods upon our people's rost, And all is lost, save honor is coLlles-ed; Iell is unbound, and yells agali thr blood, From Chicamoug' to itlo Giande's fiw>d. Oh year of grief, we here thy memory our se! Go join thy twins stretlld in their sable heiarso. They 1'own'd on ims o'er sinea the (it-; of Lee Was trail'd in dust by soum of every sea! Yet the pale South withlin our horoscopes Shall bloom again upon her mountain slopes; Tmutiitlte and denmoits may retard the hour, rhe right of GcMius briigs them Into power; Nor time nor tymirnts o:mi our futuro slay Peace hatili her victories for the coming day.

Entough the old year cried, Thy just impe-achment 's not denied, I have fulfilled my dreadiful fate, Willh whiling Pu1ritans aid l:te; I served Apmllyoi's durk behest, And now I am his wrmicst guest; 9 My work hit tn imide lis - mu Idron boil, With voaliawagger's ' trooly loll." itoco ignhist race-4, have I sat, Whose aippetite for blood is whet.

Peace like the love from Noah's breast, Returns again not fluding rest I All 'olphet did approve my task, Anrd gave meal! aIbition asked; I sold my soul to hell for gminm, Amid saw thme Southern land' wvas slain. Mly thunder was as loud as Jove's, In every ecourt, mindi camp anid grove; My spies anid muimios were abroad, By silent lill and dark cross-road; Throumgh reeking hiamilet anmd the viie, Time's smothered vengeance yet may shine; My simares are set, my linmes. are laid, And hmell's unboundh upen thme raid; T.ie earth is mnn, anad thmese my "saints'', Arc my annointed withlout paint.

"Conic, bring the oil-flask, thero's e t pet," said Samuel Parsons to his e vife, as he finished screwing on a lew lock to his front door. Sam, >f course, needn't have said, e 'there's a pet," unless he liked ; l >mt he used to tiinik it was a e reat slaie that women wero ailed all sorts of prettty nanes be- 3 oro they were married, but non Lfterwvards. :1 say," says Sam, , many of the )OOr 01-Cittul'es are t heated with them there pretty iaies ; poor folk I they think E hcy'll always got them ; but they iccoio mighty searc after the l ingeris iln tie ring." We don't t nean to tell all the names Saim I talled his wife before they were narried ; but now lie called her I 'lpet;" and as soon as she heard lie loving Word, she threw (owl eir duster ol tie chair, and sped )ir to tie kitchlen for the flask. 9 V1l' flask had a featier in it., as ileil flasks genlerally have ; and Sam, taking tie said feather be W Ii his forefiiger and thumb, >ilcd the key. of tIle streot-door igllt well ; and tien locked and inlocked it a dozen timns. At irst it. went stiff, and reqlired ioll) sc11trgth of wri.st to ttlrn it, 1t, as it Worked to and fro, and ,be oil began to make its way into the wards, it Worked mo10re0 and more eatsily ; iitil Itt last, Tommy, 1 Sam1 's little Fol, who was Standing by, was able to turn it almost with it touch :and( then Sam p)ron)ounIced that it would do. The operation finished, Sam tlhought he'd just give his' knife a toulch of tihe end of the feather; less tban a dIrop ouIt of the flask would (10 ; just a mre touch-that wats all thatt it wanlhtCd ; anid pros mtly, to young Tommy'sJ" great :lelight, his father made tihe blade go up and dlown, cliek, M ick. Tomnmy eviden tly alpprloved f the result; foi- lie began to click, slick, wvithi his tongue andl the -oof of his mouth, in imitation; md how long ho -might have (de ayed his fatho? we Can't toll, if it voero not that Mr's. Parsons caught uim up in hor' arms, and made off vith 1hi1m ; she calling him a "stytcy ogue," and kissing him all the vay ; and he on his par't click, licking, as though his mouth wero cutler's shop, andl you wore open ng and shutting every knife in it. Some folk might think that am Parsons had done enough iln le oiling way for. one day; but< here wvas one more thing to do, I nd then he would be quite readiy I ~o take his potatoes to market. I )no or twvo of ihe wvhools of 'his< vagon ha(1 been a tr'ifto creaky; . dso he took the grease pot, and'I gavotthonra touch of its cokrtents. fou dould hav~,e rolled all he gltt 'I ijpon 'them mrfo the size of a-ooupip fma-bIs,bu't it.was quite enough; ooId@@#verch:ng 'i'4 rives consent," no doubt they ap >roved of what Sam had done.

"Good-bye, Jonny, pet." )h, that little woid "pot I" didn't he cunning follow oil his wife's 1mpor, and almost her very joints, br her day's work, when he called ir that little name. "Good-bye, Loinmny, my darling." 01), you Unning man I there you are with. ,our oiled feather again ; for when 'ommny was naughty, and his mo her reminded him that she must oil his father when he como home, ,nd "father w6uld be sore grieved his darling was naughty," wasn't .ommy good ? for, child though 0 was, he was able to reason thus ituch in his mind: Tommy is %ther's darling, and lie won't vex im; darlings ought not to vex hose. who love them. Never ind, good reader, if there's a flaw a the logic ; nursery logic is some ines very funny reasoning, bit it uswers the purpose; natighty ommy became good, and click. licked about tihe house as merry ,S ak cricket, instead of sprawling nd bawling on the ground ; and 11 because his father happenod to all him "a darling" before he ent out. "I say, Polly," said Sam Par ons to Iis one servant-maid, as e left the house, "don't forget to lean ip those irons, if you can ianage it, thero's a good lass; ou'll find the oil-flask hanging chind the kitchen door;" and so. eith a cheerful smile on his coun ena1nce, Sam Parsons took his de arture for market. Ah I cunning am; before he went ho oiled his vife and child, and now he oiled is servant-maid ; and wholl bie urned his back upon his own door, e left. smiling faces and glad earts behind him ; and, I warrant .e found theni all smiling to re oivo him, whelon he came home. * * * * * * "I have great faith in oil," said am Parsons ; "I oil almost every hing ; this very morbing I oiled lie lock of my street door, and my onknife; and greased my wagon rhels; and I oiled my wife an(] hild ; and I gave the servant naid a touch too; and I tell you vhat it is, Neighbor Joe, I slip .long famously, where I find many nIlot her stick f1st.." "Rusty Joe's" torn nail seemed o give him a fresh twingo when i penkiifb was spoken about .md so as to the wife, his con cience reminded him how bear shly he had behmaved to her at reak fast. "What do you mean by oiling 'our wife, mamn," said "Rusty Joe," atheor tartly ; "you haven't been cmaking, hamve you, and knocking ndolr to a woman ?" and "Rusty oe" edlged away from "Polished ami's" side, ais though hie weoro cear some slimy serpent. "No indeed," answered Sam, 'I've not been knocking any way, either over nor uindler ; but I just cave her and the ban tling a loving vord before I started from home; md I saidl a kind word to the lass o cheer her up through her wvork br the (lay ; and for the matter of ,hat I gave the old apple-woman a ouch of my oiled feather too ; fewv >eoplO say a kind word to her, and 0 I did, and I dare say it helped er through the (lay too I I vouldn't cringe to any one living," ontinued "Polished Sam," "not to lio Queen herself; but to cringe i one thing; to be civil, respect. iil and loving, according as the as. requires, is another ; I never nior ill come of it, and I've often ~noin good.
