A CMld% Bream ~of a Star. . BY CHARLES DICKENS. ?:o:? There was onec a child, ami ,he strolled about a good deal, and thought of a nnmher of things. He had a sister, who tvns a child too, and his constant companion. These two used to wonder all day long. They wondered at the beauty of the flowers; they wondered iit the height and blucucss of the sky; they wondered at tho goodness and the power of God, who made the lovely world. They used to say one to another, some times, supposing all the children upon earth were to die, would the flowers and the water and the sky bo sorry ? They believed they would be sorry. For, said they, the buds are tlie chil dren of the flowers, and the little playful streams that gambol down the hill sides arc the children of the water: uud the smallest bright specs playing at hide and .seek in the sky all night? must surely be the children of the stars; and they would all bo grieved to sec their playmates, the children of men, no more. There was one clear shining star that used to come o'ut in the sky before tho rest near the church spire, above the graves. It was larger and more beautiful, they thought, than all the' others, and every night they watched for if, standing band in hand at a window. Whoever saw it first, cried out, - I sec the star !" And often they cried out both together, knowing so well whou it would rise, and where. So they grew to be such friends with it that boforc lying down in their beds, they always look onco again, to bid it good night; and when they were turning round to sleep, they used to say, "(5nd bless the star I" But while she was still very young, oh very, very young, tho sister drooped and came to bo so weak that sho could no longer stand in the window at night j and whou the child looked sadly out by himself, nud when ho saw the star, he turned round and said to the paticut, palo face on tho bed, "I sco tho star !" and then a smile would conic upon the face, and a littly voice used to say, "God blcfs my brother and the star !" And the time came all too soon ! when tho child looked out all alone, a.ud when there was no'faco on (ho bed; and when there was a lit tle graves among tho gravo not there before j and when tho star made long rays down to wards him, ho saw it through his tears. Now, those rays wcro so bright, and they seemed to make such a shining way from earth to heaven, thnt whon tho child went to his solitary bed ho dreamed about tho star and dreamed that, lying Whoro ho was, ho saw a train of pcoplo taken up that sparkling road by angels. And tho star, opening, showing him d great light, where many such nngcls waited to rccoivo them. AH those angels who wore wuitiug, turned their bcaiiiii)<r eyes upon the people who wcr^ curried up into the star; and homo Came ouv? from tlio long rows in which they stood, ni\\[ loll upon the people's necks, and kissed then? tenderly, and went away with them down tM.t uvonucs of light, and wcro so happy in tlicir* company, that lying in his bed he wept roi joy. But there were many angels who did not g " with them, and among them one ho know The patient face that once had lain upon th bed w.is glorified and radiant, but his hear ! found out his sister among all tho host. , His sister's angel lingered near the entrance of the star, and said to tho loador among thost who had brought the people thither: j. ??Is my brother come '{" And ho said "No." P She was turning' hopefully away, when " thfcf child stretched his arm and cried, "O, siste.i, \\ am hero! Take me!" and then *ho turne?') her beaming eyes upon him, and it was night: and tho star was shining into tho room making long rays down towards him as he saw through his tears. From that hour forth, tho child looked upoln the star as on the homo lie was to go to, when his time should come, and he thought that lie did not belong to the earth alone; but to the' star, too, because of his sister's angel gone be;: lure. fl 5 ? There was a baby Lorn to bo a brother to the child ; and while he was so little that he never yet had spoken a Word, ho stretched out his tiny form on his bed and died. Said his sister angel to the loader: '?Is my brother come?" And he said, "Not that one, but another." As the child beheld his brother's angel in her arms, he cried "U, sister I am here ! Take nie!" And she turned and smiled upon him, and the star was shining. lie grow up to he a young man, and was busy at his hooks when an old servant came t<> hilll and said : "Thy mother is no mqre. I bring her b!es| sing on hor darling sou." Again at night he saw the star and all that former company. Said his sister's angc^jJ the hia\3cY r '* " ' ^ "Is my brother come ?" And he said 'Thy mother!'' A mighty er}' of joy went forth t'.! rough all the star, because her mother was returned to her children. And he stretched out his arms and cried, "O, mother, sister ami brother, 1 am hero ! Take me !" And they answered him "Notyet," and the star was not shining. lie grew to bo a man whose hair was turn ing grey, and he was sitting in his chair by the fireside, heavy with grief and with his face bedewed with tears, whou the star opened once, ngaiu. Said his sister's angel to the leader :? ".Is my brother come?" I And he said, "Nay, but his maiden .laugh ter." And the man who had been tho child, saw his daughter newly lost to him, a c.lcslinl creature among those three, and he said. 1 My daughter's head is on my sister's bosom, and at her feet is the baby of old times, and I can hear the parting from her, Clod he praised." And the star was shining. Thus the child became to ho an old man, and his once smooth face was wrinkled, and his steps were slow and feeble, and his hack was bout. And one night as ho lay upon his hud, his children standing aroutid. he cried as he had cried so long ago. ??I see the star !" They whispered to one another, "lie is dy ing. *? And he said, "I am. My ago is falling from nie like a garment, and I move toward the star as a child- And (), my Father, now I thank thee that rt has so often opened to re ceive those dear ones who await me !" And the star was shining; and it shines upon his grave. VARIOUS. The Protest of Virginia Against the New Const i hi (ion. The conservative members of the late State Convent inn in Virginia, have, issued an ad dress to the people of that State. 'J his is an admirable document: It is tho opinion of the conservative mem bers of tho Convention that the white people of Virginia should act in this matter without divisions. We contemplate the fact of the en tire black population consolidated against us, enrolled in uno compact, oathbouud organiza tion, acting with tho precision and discipline of nn army. By the. apportionment of repre sentation in the Convention, they were entitled to a majority in that body, which was inet cased by tho inactivity of tho whites, who were heartless and' dispirited. This majority has framed a negro Constitution, contrived to sc curo and porpctuato uot only their ascendancy but their absolute control of t' c State. For sthcy aim at pcrpotuating their power. Avow ing' the most radical and extreme opinions with Vogard to the rights of the people, and the frights of the majority of the people, of what ever race or color, to rule, they have not only, 'hy dislYanehiseincnt and test oaths, attempted , to stifle the white majority and the voice of till the whites in this S-atc, but ihoy put in their Constitution two provisions designed to keep the power in their hands. One of these is the "test oath which is required of tho members j>'olcctcd to any future Constitutional Conven tion ; the other is a proviso that no amend nici or revision cf the Constitution now sub knitted sluill be niiide which shall deny or in any way impair the right of suffrage, or auy civil or political right as conferred by this Con stitution, except for causes which apply equally to all persons and classes without distinction. They deny the right of the people to change their Constitution, and are legislating for pos terity to the remotest generation. The whites arc absolutely goaded to exer tion, and have no choice, but to arise and de fend their existence as a race. The only ques tion is as to the method of making this oppo sition. It appears to us, and such is certainly the opinion of nine-tenths of the white people ? of the State, that our true course lies in ?/posi tive rejection of the Constitution submitted. Such bsing the case, if there arc a few who have preferred a mere passive resistance, wo trust that, for the sake of unanimity, they will lend their hearty co-operation to the plan which has been resolved on. Jt is only ,by concerted and united action that full expression can be given to the sentiments of the white people; while the absence of a few thousand voters from the polls might give some color to the averment that a portion of the whites were favorable to the Constitution. It is. therefore, the deliberate judgment of those \fho unite in this paper, that it should be regarded as settled, that till who propose to net with the white limit's party in Virginia, shall register and vote : and that no one should feel at liberty, what ever Iiis privafc'Opinions us to the propriety of some other couraQjj to break thofd^anks which ! should neither w.uycr nor present a gap iu this ^0?t> ?i?!M\?^?i?*\r.'?? - ? -i35j'jflB&p ? ~ It has been said that Congress, if we defeat it, will put this Constitution on us, Then lot Congress !>o the author of this great wrong, and 1 t not Virginia, under any menace of violence, weakly be tempted to offer resistance to her ravishcr. The. adoption of the Consti tuti ?n by the people of the State, and the im position of it on them by the Republican par ty of the North, are two very different things, and may be followed by very different results. An acquiescence on our part in negro suffrage is surely not the way to arouse the Northern mind against it. Nor does it seem to us possi ble that so monstrous a Government can over he effectually fastened on us. if the white peo ple of the State will main tain a firm, deter mined and unfaltering attitude. It is proper, however, to remark that is by no means certain, nor do we think it probable, that Congress will impose this Constitution on I uv. if we shall reject it. The instrument is I very different in its character fcoyi that eon j tcinplutcd by the Acts ol Congress. These did not profess more than the purpose to pro vide for protection to the negro; but the Con stitution framed leaves it necessary to provide fur the protection of the white? man. It has been suggested that the political party in pos session of the Federal Government preparato ry to tin; Presidential election, are anxious to have the Southern States in the Union ; but Were it adtnissablc to entertain the hypothesis that party considerations would influence Con gress in this matter, Virginia might well be an exception ti> the Southern Stales in general, as her vote would probably be east against the party in question at the Presidential election ; and. indeed, must be. if the whites yvtil only take euro to register, as we can com maud n white majority of 35,000. It is bur duty, then, (o act together; to avoid all divisions ; to disregard all cavilling objections, and to vote down the proposed Con stitution. To say of sueh a Constitution thai it would be insupportable, is language too fee hie. To say (if it could be maintained twenty years) that would lead to absolute social death is too obvious to hoed embellish ment. It is an inundation, a cataclysm, whose black billows would submerge, even in (hat short time, every monument of civilization, and leave the. white race in hopo le s degradation. .Judge Sliced, of Accomac? ono of the ablest of his parly, n consistent Union man during the war, elected to the Con vention as a radical, and acting with his party for three mouths of the Session of the body? Was compelled, at the last moment, to declare that the Constitution established negro supre macy, and that, although in favor of negro suffrage, be bad no alternative left but to vote against it nt the polls. It is a strange specta cle, that a large portion of the American peo ple, however embittered by the antagonisms of civil war, should be willing to see members of tlic same family pass, even temporarily, under such a yoke. It is one of the noticeable inei Jents of tho nge, that, iu wha'.- claims to W , the uiost enlightened country of Christendom, , n frenzy like this crnsado for negro suffrage--! so resembling the delirium of tho French Key,-!,,, cdution?should take possession of tho.pubHc(>> mind. To us at the ?South, tho absolute iu tliffcroncc with which the people of the North contemplate tho application now being made ol this system at tho South, is a matter of aston ishment. That tho negrocd of the South can establish themselves in any permanent supremacy over the whites, wo do not, however, accept for a momcut. If it shall ho tho pleasuro of Con gress, as it has the power to do, to put upon us a Constitution which they have invited us free ly to pass upon-:?a Constitution giving the no gros ten-fold the power they have in Jamaica ?we shall interpret it as tho decree of God' for a sharp and decisive settlement of the con troversy between the white and black- races on this continent. It will fearfully embarrass, but it will not destroy, tho white race of the South. Tho white race of the South cannot be destroyed. When tho negroes arc put over us, then, nt least, wo shall put forth our strength. We shall oiler such inducements to white immigration that these sparsely settled States must rapidly fill up. Tho negro will be overwhelmed with numbers, and it will ho too late to make nny terms. It is perfectly evident that Providence designs tho territory of the Uuitcd .States as a theatre of a groat white empire, whose power and whoso civilization shall exovt a controlling influence in the history of the the future. That the three or four mil lions of blacks here can interpose nny barrier to the realization of this destiny, is plainly chimerical. The ouhy question, is, shall the changes which impend iu.the South be gradual or violent ? With peace between the races, the whites of the South might be saved from much that awaits them under the radical pro gramme ; and tho blacks, while remitted to their proper position in society, would bo saved from rapid extinction' as a race. The set tled and dctcruiifhitc antagonism of the races (which will 09 inaugurated at u^ico by such a j the beginning of the end. Virginia, racked to the utmost capacity of endurance, will bo the J first, to throw to the surface tho disease which has sn long preyed upon her vitals, and though fur some years the pitiable victim of ? disgust ing eruption, will ultimately bo restored to health, to vigor ami untainted blood. In protesting against tho establishment of negro supremacy, wc plead for both races?for the whites, that they may bo spared, depressed as they now are, the utter prostration of furth er violent changes in their social system ; for the blacks, that, in the name of humanity, they shall be allowed a fair opportunity to save, or at least to delay, the doom of their race. In conclusion, making no hypocritical pro fessious, wc affirm in sincerity and in tiuth, that the people of this State desire to be re stored to the Uniou, and cherish no purpose of disloyalty to the Government; that they long for the re-cstablishmcnt of kindly relations be tween all the sections of the country; and that they entertain no other feelings or purposes than those of kindness and benevolence towards the negroes. The negroes behaved well during the war; and we can trace all of the disorder and crimi nal misconduct into which they have fallen since, to the pernicious teaching of those white adventurers v'ho arousing this ignorant and i credulous race for their own selfish and rapa cious purposes. If" let alone to deal with the negro, the whites td' Virginia would honestly endeavor to afford the amplest protection to his rights of person and property, and to make every provision for'his intellectual and moral culture. Hut when it is proposed?for the palpably base purpose of aggrandizing a party ?to deliver over the. property, the social order, the liberties of the whites, to the vindictive and licentious rule of the negro, every instinct of duty, every ?entiment that can animate a man to exertion, calls upon the white pcnplc of Virginia to repudiate and resist such unparal leled oppression. Kvory Northern State which has voted on the .subject since the close of tho war, has re jected negro suffrage. Ohio, on a direct issue, 110 later than hist fall, did so, by a majority ex ceeding fifty thousand. Kansas, Minnesota ami Connecticut had previously done the same thing. The late Constitutional Convention of New York deliberately recoiled from deciding the question. And Michigan, hitherto so over whelmingly Republican, has just voted down her new Constitution by a majority of thirty thousand, because it admitted the negro to the polls. Tho census shows that there were only j sor.10 35,000 negroes in Ohio in 1SG0. There could have been only about 7,000 negro voters iu that State had they been enfranchised, (this in a community whore tho white vote is nearly (1)00,000,) an inappreciable influence. In Michigan there arc only about 500 male ne groes twenty-ono years of age. The white voters number more than 105,000.
