And she \reloomes us Saturday night, and every night, -- and her pure. true, trusting, and beautiful love keeps us from wander. ing. And we set by our little fire, hand in hand. Diamonds never throw light as do the eyes of our darling, for they light from soul to soul, making noonday of otherwise night. And she gives us, oh ! such tempting wel come. No servants are near to lis ten and tell. The rattle of playthings on the floor, disturb us not, for we knew it, and 'twas as Orod intended. And as no one hears, we sit, paln to palm, and thu. come the words of the heart: Darling - I love you. All the day have I toiled till hand and brain be weary, but I never forgot you-your love or your kisses. I went forth in 1 the morning to labor. Perhaps at is but little we have, but, thank God, I darling, it was honestly won-we love each other and are happy. I try to be good and honest, and guarded by your love succeed. And no tempta. tion yet met has won me from my vows and from you-no place has lur ed me from my home and the loved no wish have I had for something be. yond the confines of my happy domin- 1 ion. All the day, and all the week t I have toilcd there, as you have cared t herc, and see, darling, how our home t grows more and more beautiful as t your taste displays the little things I purchased with the earnings of my t hand and brain. t God bless you, darling, and make t me always go>d, and kind, and true, I and earnest, and deserving of the t love you give me. Here is my home t -here is my heart-here is my treasure r -here I live as there I labor, and t every hour not given to toil is to thee, and happiness. And as I go I will think of thee; of the time when you a said "yes" to my wooing, and never t will I do that which would pain your t heart, and then I shall ever be happy, t and love you alone, my darling- t queen of my heart-warmed home. a And her hand presses mine-her eyes are like rays from the eternal-as s she looks the words cannot speak. Her c lips are are so sweet and warm, so full of that wondrous electricity which all L knew not of-her cheek rests on my a shoulder, and from her heart, from r her loved lips come these words: a God bless you, darling, for your t manhood and unsullied bringing. The e day has not been long, for I knew P- - would hasten. And 'I was haplly as C here and there my hands I found em- c ployment.

It is with great pleasure that we earn from the Augusta papers, of Sa. ,urday, that the differences between he South CaroLuna Railroad Company Lud Columbia and Augusta Railroad nompany have been brought to an end. Jhese differences involved, as is known i disagreement between the first nam )d company and the City of Augus a, and we hail the satisfactory ad ustmnent of a difficulty which threat med to become serious, as a sign that here is to be a lasting commercial eaco between Georgia and South Ca. olina.

THE COLORED STAT CONVENTION. -Richmond, May 28.-The colored State Convention adjourned to..day, Lfter adopting a series of resolutions requestijng General Ca.nby to give solored mon representation upon the benches of the courts ; urging repub Lican voters to vote for the constitui bion fra.med by thme late Convention ; pledging the Convention to support blhe WVells ticket; thanking the peo.. ple of the North for their benevoler ie in furnismhing means for the the edu mation of colored children in the South, and hailing the appointment of [ieneral Canby with joy. Dr. Harris the colored candidate for Lieutenant-Governor, addressed thme body, and expressed his sus picion that some of tihe white republican voteri.intended striking his na me from the ticked on account of his color. A Chicago reporter who- attended a spring opening of fashionable mnilline r,y, says of it: "A cabbage leaf trim with three red peppers and e dried sherry sells for $35. It is called a }ockey ; has one advantage---an be saten as a sallad when the season mhanges. One eomposed of tbree igh and a bit of pink colored fog was Bonsidered cheap at $55."

She metd wi4h:no acoidept whatqver. been organiso I at Riohmonde The Efficiency of Chineso Labor. Are the Chinese immigrants ser- ) viceable, reliable and killfull work men ? Such is the really important point to be settled. The Overland Monthly -the most sparkling and pleasantly written eri odioal in the Union, but devoted al most exclusively to California inter- a ets, gives the elements of a reply to this inquiry, in its March number. From it article, "Ilow are our China. men E-ijaployed," and from other t sources that, irrespective of partisan feeling, furnish similar information, we deduce the most favorable conolu sions possible. The first regular employment that f ile Orientals found on the Eastern r slope was in the woolen factories. The unanimous report of tbe former a was that "with no other operatives c had they ever been so well pleased." c They are promptly at their stations a at the proper time; they have no gos. sip which involves the breaking of the c threads, and they work without lag- 1 ging. Next came the Pacifio Railroad, a which made, the next great bid for b Chinese labor, and employed nearly d 10,000 of the strangers. The latter f, are reported by the CoWpany a d "promptly on .the ground, ready to t begin work the moment they bear the I signal, and laboring steadily and hon- ti catly on, till admonished that the working hours are ended." "Over- f seers declare that they can drill more tj rock, and move more dirt with China- Y men, than with an equal number of v the men who claim this kind of occu- p pation as their speciality." t Chinamen have helped to make f, nearly all the roads, and like im- f, provements, near San Francisco; they p gather in the harvest; they tend on '0, the grnzing farms ; they cook in the I a kitchens, and make housekeeping' i eauy; paper mills, powder mills, rope walks, and tanneries could not get 0 along without them; hop plantations, m vineyards, orchards, and berry grounds n are tended by them ; silk manufacture, a cutting cord-wood, salt and borax e works, cigar making and a hundred tj similar occupations draw great help a, from the Chinese. They hae at )Nw) taken to the smelting and., Manufac- fe ture of in l "t ngn branches. In fine, turn whither we j may, we see the Chinamen up early, ,h and stay ing late ; sober, industrious, it iitAlignCt, devoted, and capable for a all tings. Such is the universal L testin.ony of all but tho"e Who, deal- ia ing themselves, in all thing which are v the curse of hu11manity, meet with fal len and dograded mon only, and judge r< of races by their own lives. N The verdict, in favor of the uncor- I rupted Ciin-jese workman is favorable in the highest degree, and one ef the 0 most striking proofs recently given is the voluntary establishment, by Chi- ti nese in New York,of an evening school, u for mutual instruction in the E0,nglish ti language, and improvement in science %, and art. The most gratifying results ti are already recorded. ti What the country wants now, and h quickly, is a sufficient mass of willing, b able, steady and sober hands, to open m our vast interior, and we can find f< such only where rum and party poli- C ties are diacarded.. Says the C5alifor- v nia writer, most justly: a "In a country where there are mnil- t< lions of acres of arabie land yet un- c improved, the desideratum is of hands I to till the soil, and thus put this land n under contribution to furnish food a and'olothing for those who need it, t and, as far as possible, to make every ai acre d<f its part toward supplying the v~ Government, and buildiDg up public institutions, Where there are faciii- f ties for erecting mills, with material I to be raanufactured, and capital wait-- r lng to be emiiloyed, the next necessi- t ty is, the operatives ; and, just so longi as the operatives are wanting, so long t will the manufacturing -facilities re main unimproved, the material will; be left to waste, the capital will bet idle, and the talent and skill whichi was waiting for employment in eon-1 ducting and overseeing such enter prises is deprived of the opportunity< to exert itself for the beneflt of theI world." If our' own unemployed laborers and artisans will persist in dragging out a wrotched ez:atence in the midst of crowded coinpetition Instead of carrying thecit- energy and skill to the1 points that need it, where a, Dew and '1 comparatively independent life Is of fered to them they must be preparedi to see the pig-tails of Chung K woh wriggle in triumph over the grained hills and blossoming valleys of the Far West.

Marriage of Prince Louiis Ferdinand le Bourbon, son of Count dI'Aquila and iephew of ex-Ferdinand, of Naples, of sab-l.a, er Queen of Spain, and of )om Pedro, of Brazil, to Senorita Lmeia Hamel, of havana, dau%hter of he "Queen of the Antilles," Enriguetta "erot de Hamel, by Justice Dodge, at lie Jefferson Market Police Cour:, on he 20th day of March last, was duly iublished in the Horald. The appear tice of the distinguished oonple in a olice court for such a purpose created Ome astonishment and furnished food :r the gossips and quidouncs. The ex. lanion of the case is that the Prince, rho is only twenty-four years of age td quite bovish in appearance, Wtas Durageous enough to trample on the Id dynastic prerogative which forbade ny scion of the blood royal to marry a lebeian. He applied to the Catholic lergy of every country of Europe, but is application in every instance met ith i peremptory denial. "Rome lis Dokon" was the truth that flashed on is mind as he found himself doomed to isappointment. Ferdinand and hi.i imily reside in Rome, within a short istance of the Vatican, and this tells ie %% hole story in a single sentence. lut the Prince loved Amolia with all ie ardor of which a young heart is ca able, and it is little to be wondered at, ,r she is bvautiful in the full sense of io word, being now in her twentieth ear. They repaired now to Paris, here the young laly soon became the et of the Empress Eugenie. Strange > say, the Prince had always been a vorite with Napoleon, despite his Imily connectionls, and the youth in. roved the acqiintance with the object r having the doarest wish of his heart last accomplished. Some time in 'ocember last he unfolded his purpose > the Emperor, and prayed th. consent F the latter to the union. N&c'nl-on, ith his characteristic shrewdness, in edipitly turned the conversation on jothe-'ssubject, but the Prince was too irnest to be thus foiled. At length e E-peror replied that lie would give . answer the following day. The rince nppeared next day, and was in. irmed the Emperor had left a letter for tolaonic '~ine':on'i'flecissez.*ii rasion worthy of' the Little Corsican mself. The Prince had been "reflect ig" ever since, but. the Catholic hier -chy did iot relent. lie came to the rited States, Iut he found Rome here 4o. He appealed, but appealed in am to Ihe clergy.

Secret Marriages---Au Old Gentleman Tolls a True Story. Sin:-Whilo riding up town yester day I was an unwilling listener to a co;versation between two students, who, as they expressed themselves were bent on fun, consisting in a mock niarriago of the younger of the two to a nurse girl. I am an old man, nearly seventy years of age, and I knew I could with safety speak to them. I told them I was then on my way home from the deathbed of one who was the envy of all who knew him. He was a Southeiner by birth and ed.cation; his victim is also a native of Georgia, but brought up at the North in her father's family. Somo 8 years ago lie met her in Ten. nessee, where the family were staying, and she was theu a beautiful girl just budding into womanhood; he followed them North, and soon won the love of the girl, who had promised to be his bride; but her parents would not con sent, as he was a Colonel in t'ie rebel army. He soon after joined his regi ment but time and distance only served to make her love deeper; when, one day, he suddenly appeared and claimed the fulfillment of her pronise. She consented to a private marriage. He left the next day, promising soon to olaim her before the world. He oeil!d for England, and betore his return she learned lie had a wife when he married her. He returned with what lie had gone ror-a divorce fron his wife-and now wanted G. to be publicly united to him. She refused ; lie had deceived her once, and 3he could not trust him again. He took rooms in the neigh borhood, hoping to win her to his views but, stricken down with fever, with 110 kind hand to hold the cup of' cold wa ter to his lipo, he sent for her, but it was not util I took word to her ilat he was dying that, site cane. I nover ihall forget that deathbed while I live - ,hen I know what that poor girl had mif'ered. It, is plainly to be seen that ihe is daily, yes, hourly, passing away -actunall dying of it broken heart. rlhe world may laugh, but few girls 3ver loved as she has loved this man. 3ho will have her reward above for hose wardi of for.iv.ess iid comfort ipoke to thal dying one, and that pray. tripp!.

LA .IANiM AND J US'.-The Rev. Mr. Frothinghani delivered a discourse in gTew York on the (lay of ihe decoration >f the graves of tIhe Union ahead, which ,oneluded as follows: I mean all who divd in the war were qually victims. The southerner and the northerner- those who fell with us anid those who fell against us--ll were viccdms laid on the same altar. I would wish that we do all this as oem nation. ,'ct us stretw these flowers not on north 'rn graces alone, but on southern graves ilso. They were egually brive, they were all eqanmlly faithfnl to their ideal; heir valor was common, their feeling was commorn their endeavor was coim Inon, and thlie name devotion to their Danise was cammon to each;i and each iidei was devoted to its ideal-one side no less entirely than the other. North orner' and southerner each cherished his put poss, each had hope, each was full of confidence of the ability of his God ; sach opened his Bible ; e'ach made his prayers to the same Deity who directed the battle; they were common victime, laid on a common altar, in a common cause. Oh, we otight by this time to ho able to do justice to the purposes as well as to the spirit oi onr foes. They bore more than we did : they sacriniced more than we did. Their hiomes wore barnied over their heads by fiery shells, ours were left umtonebed .They are obliged to bow their heads as conquered, we are privileged to raise ours as con qiuerors. 1 would drop a tear on one of their graves as quickly as one of our own; and I am willing to affirm that tIhe goihi was 'not their's alone.

Two of the applications were from the wives of wicked husbands, one from the husband against his wife. The first case was from a lady, Mrs. Mary E. Cameron, residing in 'Charleston, for a divorce from her husband, Robert Cameron, in Philadelphia, from whom she was, by his cruelty, compelk-a to separate several years ago ; he having, also, since the eeparation, unlawfully married another woman in Pennsvlva nia, with whom lie is now living. 'The unlawful wife, on application, furnished an ifildavit, stating that the husband represer.ted himself as a widower; and so she married him in ignorance of the existence of the lawful wife. Judge Orr, after hearing the petition and evi. dence, readily granted the order for di, vorce in this case, on motion of Perry & Perry, solicitors for the petitioner. The other parties all q-side in this county. The applicantiY.Were repre sented by Messrs. Sulhvan & Stokes. Judge Orr granted the order for divorce in the case of Mrs. Amatida C. Lender man from the husband, Francis M Len derman, who, it was proved, had cruel ly treated her and had married or taken up with another woman. In ihe case of the petition of John \V. Walker for divorce from his wife, Mary J. Walker, on the allegation of her desertion some six or eig.t years ago, and her violent temper and abuse which occasioned it, and the hopelessness of a r,,anin, t.he jiiudge was not. satisfied that lie ought to grant i lhe hitsbanti a divorce, but inti. mnted to the counsel that lie would fur. ther conider the case. It seems to is that our judges oulht to restrict the granting o. divorces to the one Scriptural justificittion indicat ed by the Judge of all th earth, in Mattlew'5: 32. Thus far the cases ac tiallv decidod by Judge Orr appear to come within that rule. CuRIoUS .PRANKS OP A RADIA, MACIST-RAT.-Mr. J. B.
