Selected Poetry. ONSTANCY. Within his heart was her imnage,. Clothed in the beauty of love and youth as last ho behold her, Only more, beautifut rnado by her death like silence and absence. [Longfellow's Evangeline. I thick of thee when morn unhars Day's pearly gates with rosy fingers When softly fade tIe sparkling stars And on the flower the dewdrop lingers. Ar.d when before the Day God's rays The shades of night have flown away, And matin songs of joy and praise, Doth sweetly greet Lite new-born day. I think of theo at ovening's. hour, Who pensive twilight reigns around, And with its soft and gentle power, . With fairy hands the heart hath bound. When the silvery moon doth gild the height And with pearly halo wrvathes tho sky; When countless stars are sparkling bright In the blue canopy on high. I think of thee when pleasuro's cup With countless joys is brimintng high, And the bright benns of Love and Hope, Doth fill each heart and light each eye. Whon trouble's darkest waves arise, When cold and cheorless is the day When sorrow's clouds enshroud the skies And darkly voile the sun's brigit rays. When memories of the Long Ago, Como thickly thronging o'er the soul, And feelings that we once did know, Resume their sweep and strong control. When'the roving mind doth wander through The shadowy halls of nemnory, Trying each soeno of the past to view, Then, too, I think, I think of thee. HOME, When mornory strays among tie scenes, That we have loved of yore, The weary wanderer brightly dreams Of happy bhome once more. Though pleasures with her syron voice Dotlr lure him far away ; 't'hough fame should off'r h him the choioi' Of greatness if he stay In vain is each allurenment spread, To tempt him to forget. In vain bright visions round bi.i heari Would banish all regret. The music of a mother's tones Is ringing in his ears ; The playmates of his early home With jocirnd laughter cheer. Wirer'er he roams bv fortune led Thouglh joy or gr'iof be nigh Those herishrd sce nes their raidiance shed, Like sunlight fror the sky.

She sobbed bitterly when her sex.was discover n and fully unbosomed hersokto her indlady. s Indianapolis, Ind., is her home, whore a V father, mother, two brethers, and a young. or sister, have for several days past mourn ed her as lost. The story is one of love, and may be briefly related. She was do. voted to a young man who had promised her marriage at an early day ; but as all lovers will sometimies do, they quarrelled, and in a moment of passion (t young man i left for part. unknown. Here be had nume rouns friends, and after wandering from p'aco Stoplace, hetook himself to tiehlumond.

She Sdaire not ask tie per:iissioni of her parents, but she at once resolved that she would fly to him whom she had solemnly pledged the - purest aflections of her young and guileless n heat t. Knowing the dangers and dilliculties which a young gia I would be likely to on counter at every step of so long a journey, Y she conceived the idea of assuming mann's apparel, and lost notimo in procuring a jacket, cap, bifurcated garment. Thus attired, she left the home of her childhod, and reacled Richmond without trouble. d Hler case has enlisted the warmest symnpa thies of all the boarders at --th)' house t where she is stoppirng, (for she is not only young, but is beautifil,) antd arrangements for a wedding are now rapidly progressing. . any of them think that such (evolion ouglit to be rewarded, and the nuptials are to ho brilliantly celebrated.

They wore in a critical condition, and inhe entire community was greatly agitatedl. Y The particulars that we were ablo to gath or are briefly as follows: The proprietor of an ice cream saloon, a Frenahmnian, made uip a large quantity of ice cream, the first of the season, and It was distributed gratis, and freely partaker, of by Is friends.

A DisoRACEFUL S0EN.-The personal controversy, says the National Intelligcncer between Mr. Washburno of Illinois' and Mr. Donnelly of Minnesota--both types of the extremest -Radicalism, and each the particu. lar friond of General Grant-which occu pied the session of the house on Saturday evening, is one of the most shocking exli bitions and disgraceful scenes which was over witnessed in that chamber. If any thing was wanting to illustrato what sort of Rtepresentativos and phat manner of men the existing revolution has thrown up to the surface, it would be found in this pais. sage between two prontinent members of the dominent party, one of whom is the keeper and trainer of the Radical ca-ididato for the l'resilency, and tho other aspires to be a leader and a champion of the same "great mnoral oattso." What must time people of the United States think win they see the destinies of the country confided to-such hands at a crisis so mo ''ontous as tims is, and what will for. eign nations, which look to us for example and instruction, say when they see the American'Congross directed and controlled by members who can address the disgusting epithets to each other which Washburne and Donnelly employed ? Such facts which ate by no means unfrequent-for language quite as offensive hIs been applied to the President nnd to others by acknowledged leaders like Stevens-furnish proof of a do moralization that has been growing too painfully evident since the close of the war, amt has corrupted the sources of public virtue. This downward tendency, which began with the advent, and has been devcl. oped by the growth of Radicalism, must be 1 checked, or our institutions will perish, as the Roman empire fell under the blight. of like causes, If Radicalism be not defeated it will overthrow the Government. LAI)IEs's SourimnttN Ate SoctTY OF TIIs Disric-r or Couaeia.-it aff'ords us more heartfelt gratification than we can well ex press to learn that many kind, Christian. hearted ladies in our community are about organizing a society to aid South ladies and children, who have lost their husbands and fathers, in their efforts to secure employ. mont, food, raiment, books and education. 'lo aid and assist the weak, irresolute and despondent ; to succor, sustain and teach the timid children of want and misfortune not their own, in which they had no lot or hand in creating, we infer, will be the animus of their mission, and that its banner will hear the simple, sublime inscription of "Charity," under whose ample and comnpre. hensive folds all, Christian troops can mus ter, who truly seek "one Lord, one'fith, one baptism." This will develop a truly Union sentiment, in fact and deed, one that will survive "the last syllable of recorded time," and be re-echoed on the ocean of eternity. The question is simple and pregnant. Shall we labor and pray for such a Union among our owir kith and kin, or must we make for ourselves and progeny ten Ire lands, to obtain such happiness and repose as England draws from one ; teni Polabds,to give us the ease, comfort and repose that Russia finds in one; ten hiingarys,to extend our eagles, domain, commerce and national prestige and civilization to the point now reached in Austria is one ? We may put away these questions, or' think we ar'e doing so ;but they are up, and ''will not dowun at our bidding.''-National Intelligen~cer.

Th'le meeting agreed not to press their clainms for adlmission to the Cotn vention, but will rely on the action of the northern d(lolgates. That this action may be entirely freo from extraneous influence, they also agreed not to declare themselves in favor of any candidate for Vice President.

Allout I 2 o'clock, yesterday, a torna. do, accompanied and followed by a heavy fall of ranh burst over Columbizg, and, mo the course of three quartere of an hour, committed terrible havoc. iuildiugs were unroofed, fences blown down, trees uprooted, and things upset generally. The greatest danage occur. red to the State House--the Western end cf the new roof was carried away, for about fifty feet-heavy pieces of tim ber being whirled over two hundred feet beyond the building-the entire distance fully five hundred feet ; the tin, for a space of one hundred,and fifty feet on the Somthern side of the building, torn off. Two thousand dollars YI hardly cover the injuries. The tornado exhibited its full powers in this vicinity. The ventibitor of the new market house exte,.ding the entire length of the build'. ing, was thrown on the lower roof, and into the street, nearly covering a wagon and team , the horses ran away and coin. plotely @molishel the wagon. The tin roof on Walker's Row" was rolled into the street, and the stores be neath submerged-Messrs. R. C. Shiver and R. & V. C. Swaflield were the heaviest losers-the stock of goods in each establishment being much injured by. water. The store of Messrs. Bryan and MeCarter, adjoining, received but elight injury.. A p.>rtion of the tits roof of the South Carolina Depot was torn offand thrown into the yard. The roof of a freight car was taken off as if by the hand of a skillful carpenter. The wooden front. of Ben. Williams' building on Assembly street, was de. mlolished. - The fences, or placard boards, erected on Main street, for the exhibition of the mammoth posters of the "Black Crook" and Aimes' oircus, went down. The tini roofs of Masonic Hall, Lewis' new building, on Main street and Gregg's Hall, were slightly damaged. Fisher & Lowiance's wooden awning was entirely demolished. Fences and small houses, in different sections of the city, were scattered indiscriminate. lv. So far, we have heard of no injury to any human being; although there were many miraculous escapes. It is feared that the wheat crop in this vicinity will be seriously injured. On Mr. J. Lamar Stark's farm, near Columbia, the fences and stables were blovn down. The horses were almost frantic. The growing corn was serious ly damaged, and a large number of fruit trees destroyed. The doors and win dows of iany of the negro houses were carried away. In the North-western part of tho town, no damage was done. [Phwnix, 29th. On a warm summer's day, three men woro brought before a fair, round Dutoh magistrate, accused of drunken. ness. His honor, having premised with a hearty swig of cool punoh, be. gan with the first "You rascal I po you kilty or pe you not kilty ?" "Guilty." "Vat you git dhrunk on ?" "Blackstrap ". "Vat,!. git dhrunk on blackstrap, you willian you I Den dis po mine everlastin sentence, dat you pe fined forty sliilllngs." The, second culprit being question. ed in like manner, as to guilt or inno. eence, likewise owned himself guilty. "Now, tell me, ybu wile dhirunkcen rascal, vat you git dhrunk on?" - "Sling." "Vat I you git dhrunk on sling, you graceless wagabono '1 you swillin' sod, yon I Den I gives my darnal sen tence, dat you pe flned twenty shill ings. The third and lost prisoner wasn now brought forward ; and, like the others plead guilty. "Vat you git dhrunk on ?" "IPunoh." "Ah, you dipplin' rogue you I I fines you shust netting at all :for I gits dhrunk on punch myself some .times."
