THE BARQUE OF MEMORY.

It. moves liko a v tyward child,
Ot, I lie billows of' the past ;
Now gliding with easy grace
Then tossed by the wailing 1ast.
It floats whore the suinlight falls
In its wrontli of gemeliko rays,
llegiiding the strange. stritgo freight
AN (lie barque with the occan plays.
And I1hon, in its changeful mood,
It. darts 'neath a lowering sky
And the froight grows dark, and a mona
-Is heard-when ile waves boat high.
It touches tLe shore of Tine
Where Ihe nieliwd mmentieis lie;
And ain old awnu digs the graves
O' tie moments as they die.

WheI the swi is. Ire.ly pressed,
Thtt beloige'd to lie form at res.
As the well-known hurque lie spies
e carrios the caskets thero
In uotno' there is nauiglt but gloom,
While others at o b.'igit and fair.
There are groetings and sail farowells;
There are joys, and smniles, And, tears,
And kisses; aid prayers, nnd shrouds;
Thiere ire hope, and sighs, and fears,
And the trielees gem of mind,
They contaii, 'mid their varied store,
Frot the tiowers of posy -
To the deop-laid, toilaearned lore.
Now the barquo is filled wit t freight
And it moves to Oblivion's stroam,

That wore teast thiore years ago.
And the helmsinan takes thei back
From Ihe'lide of forgetfulniess;
They bogin their work anew
Giving peace, or joy, or distress.
And the caskets that faded seom
lio flings fr.om1 the little barquo.
They slntk with a silent plunge
To the dopths ofthe waters (lark.
Knd thus will the barquo still float
Till Timo shall be itashed away
When Etornlty's plain shall rise .
nu its stead, on the Judgment day.
These memories of life shall thena

She who dreams upon my breast,

She who kisses oft myl) lips,

IFools their closest pressing.

- RALEIG H, Sept. 17, 1866.
Mr. Pichard iShort
. DEAn Sin: I have received yours,
asking my "opinion, In a few words,
whether private debts can be repuditE
ted, or not ?"
I nan greatly surprised that it is
doucd necessary to ask this question
after a national oxistenice of cighty
years inder the Constitution of !he
United States, one clause of which do
clares that "no State shIl pass ainy
law impairing the obligation of con
tracts."
Now, every man is bound to support
that Constitution, and every sentence
of it. And every porson, who may
become an officer of the State or a
member of the Legislature, is com
pelled, as a necessary qualification,
before taking his soat to swear that ho
will support said Constitution, Which
ho'ecannot do and will not do, if ho
shall pass, or try to pass, any law in
pairing the obligation of contracts.
Every law which annuls a contract or
repudiates it, impairs the obligation
of a contract, and is therefore unconl
stitutional and void. Every mainwho
votes for it commtnits at perury 'And
lifs his hand- aga inst the thjesty and
honor of his country.
Surely,sir, no man in our country
would, if he could, so dishonor him
self or his State, as to invitot all - men
to break their l'i ith each with the oth
or, and affix a stigma on the name of
North Carolina, which no time may
effago. God forbid. that my eyes
shoulId ever behold this disgrac0 upon01
the"ld North State." Such a con
ditt6in would place her lower than any
people of whom we have any account.
Lhave answered your qu esthmion, and
gonq somewhat beyond-h ant my sur
prise has beeI the cause.
