LOVER'S QUARIULS.
Well let hiu go atid lot him stay,
I <to not mean to die;
I gnlems he'll find that' I cale IiVe
Without him if I try ;
lie thought to frighten mo with frowns
So terrible and bnok;
'He'll stay away a thousand years
Before I call him back.
lIe said that I had acted wrong -
And foolishly beside ;
I won't forgive hint after that
I wouldn't if I died.
If -Iwas wrong, what -right had he
To be so cross to mn?
I know I'm not an angel quite
I don't preteud to be.
Ile had at,other sweetheart once
A1w. now when we fall out,
It11'always says she wis not cross,
A nta t hat she t not. potit;
it is enough to vex at saint
it's inore than I can bear
I wish that other girl o" his
-Was-well, I don't care where.
ie thinks that sho is pretty, too,
Is beautiful as good :
1 wonder if shu'd get him back
Again, now, if she could:
'Titnow she would, and there she is.
She Hives almost in sight ;
And now it's after nine o'oloek,
Poeaps lie's t here to-night.
I'd almost. write to hin to come
But then I've said I won't

'Shan't. have him, it I din't ;
'Desi<les, 1 know that I was wrong,
And he was in the right ;
I think I'd betotcr 'oil himn so.
I wished lie'd come to -night..

lions (and they might be indefinite
n mltiplied) furnish so many argumer
for ass entire change of p)rocedure, ai
for the adomtion of mansy arrangemen
which were previously uindesi rablo.
The South is compelled to change ahil

comipetition and undisguieed hostilit
It. hans on its side only bravo hearts
a bright sun, a fertile soil and vast d
p)osits of mineral wvealtb. Its chief
surance of future prosperity must r<
uipons the knowledge that its ample r
sources are wholly iudeveloped, and a
almost untouched. The past, is a si
ansd sacred memory-the ftutsre is a

accumulatios thani upon the extent

latter- respect, the Southern States a
more highsly favored thass almost as
other region under the sun. But
profit by much auiguries, we must I
crease our population, enlarge ouri
dustrios, vary our pursuits, econoi
our processes, and retamn our profits
nmuch as possible at home. Waih i
crease of population will come increa
of political security ; with aulgmentati<
of means will come inerease of pow

Wth returing prosperity will retu
peace, happiness, contentment, and il
other blessings which aro denied to
ini our present condsition.
There are great obstacles to overcos
-anda in many partLs ofthi con
they can bo ecnineured only gradual
an d very blswly--in some districts thn
may prove insurmoun table. The ri,
lands may bo relegated to their form
r mnk wild ness, and again become peat
lential swamps. The11 sogar plantatio
of thse Lower Mississippi may r'equi
more than a generation to be reclaimse
But the greater, part of the Southol
country may be rapidly restored as so<
as order and tranquility have been c
t,ablished. We ar ipsd perha
by our sanguine hopes, to pitticipate
Mr. Carey's belief that "the day 'is
hand when emigration to the South at
Sonth.went mnst take th la n1. n
cecupied by cilmigration to .the WOst.; -
and when p'over is to iaBj from the 11
poor soils of tLio - North-east to those I
richer cnes which now olTer themilves i1
im such vast abunidance ii the Centre, h1
the South and S(uth11 west." s
We beheaove that lie great central and [
Western States will soon gravitate to
ari the Souihern in conseqmuo of a
general comn-unity of interests, and the
Tecogniion that their suibordination to
New England is mnoro disastrotis to
them thati any r(-al or imin1arT dopen
derce upon the Cotton States e'ver was
or could be. (P. 26.)
But among the chit f difienities to bo
overcomi before such a rehabilitation of
the Southl is practieabl-, one of the
greatest is the retention f ancient, pui.
ciples of action, and of recently ombit- 2
tered prejudices. Allies are not nade
by the perpet,uation of hostilities ; friends
Airu*ioot, obtair,ed by passionate deniin
ciatio1; ow systemus are not estabhi.-i.
ed by the encouragement of antiquated
opinions. It might be expedient, to
Vilforce the necessity of cutting up the
immenise Sotthern plantationsand farms
,into small tracts; but for this 'there is
not space ; and the necessit,y for so
doing is dawning upon the reluctant
Ininds of the Solt horn people.

L" The following appears to be the molues
1 opcrandi of this new plan:
al li the car statioi there is to he an
r- ordinary steam engine of about sixty
31 horse power, which is to be used for th~e:
ts purpose of compressing air into tlie two
d reservoirs, which aro made of panp-r and
ry placed on the top of car. Oin eachi car
s, there is to be a small eiigiine, operated
Li' by the air of tle reservoir, in the same
ts manner as steam, and giving tho salm,
0- amount of power, as was reuitired to
!' compress the air. The great di1lic,ultv
U. which has always been encouitered, of
' radiating the hicat in compressing a:r,
' has been overcome by a moit ingenious
r- mvenlion of Mr. Wvaylie, which renders
or tie us of compressed air perectly prac
>c ticable.
'* The enginers to be used omn thme cam's
10 can be mainaged by a iman of ordinar'y
of intelIigcence, and the car's aro stte~d

a- after having been coimpresseid almost
wYi~ithiout heat, it naturally absorbs the

The Edmuds Bill.
The following is the true text of the
ill as amended and passed by Con.
'ess. In the Senate it 'was adopted
y a strict party vote with the.exoep
on of Senator Honders6n, of Missou
, who voted with the Demoorats in
ie negative :

Wlhen this l3ill canme ulp in the Se.

-cogitized as legitimato all the State
