Shame on tho coward hand, That drops tho sword of justice bright To grasp those iron rings! On them, not mc, dishonor falls, To them this dark shame chugs. Manacled! O mv God! my God! Is this a Christian land? And did our countries ever meet And grasp each other s hand? O Mexico! on thy red fields I battled 'midst the fray; M>i riflemen, with stoady aim, Won Buena Vista's day. Manacled! far down the South Let this ono wUrd speed fast. My country, thou hast borne great wrongs; But this, tho last, the last, Will sond a thrill through thy high heart. Despair will spurn control, And these hard irons pressing here. Will enter thy proud Boab Manacled! O word of shame! Bing it through all the world! My countrymen, on you, on you, "This heavy wrong is hurled. Wo flung our banners to the air; We fought as brave men fight; Our battle-cry lang through the land; Home! liber?-! and right! Manacled! For this I am hore, Clanking tho prisoner's chain. Wo fought- ah! nobly did we tight; We fought, but fought in vain. Down in that biUowy sea of blood Went all our jewels rare; Aud Hope rushed wailing from the scene And took herself to prayer. Manacled! manacled! words of woe, But words of greater shame; I've that within me which these wrongs Can never, never tame; And standing proud in conscious worth, I represent my land. And that "Lost Cause" for which she bled Lofty, heroic, grand! [Sumter Watchman. THE "GREAT* DROUGHT CHAPTER IV. In that time of trouble and unex ampled events, the mind received im pressions iu a different manner fron what it had ever done before. Th* stern gloom that hung over the future the hazard upon which life was sus pended, the close contact with uni versal death, and the desperate strug gie by which it was staved off, gav. to all things a new character; and th scene of the last chapter was but ou of the series of deadly and dreadfn excitements which were now the habi of every day. The solemn frame o mind which it induced in Ellen wa of a piece with the solemn nature o their existence; aud she could talk o it with her husband at any time, am not disturb the natural lieut whicl their conversation took. The; searched the neighborhood for th habitation of the unhappy mothe and her family; and the marks of he footsteps on the dust of the soil ena bled thorn to trace her to Hope, a vii l?ge in the plain, two miles, or rathe more, from the Peak. She and he husband had used the church io their habitation, and, it seemed, ha employed the same kind of preenu tioii as Paulett to defend it, and con coal that it was their dwelling. One entrance only was left, and th other apertures blocked up; but a care was useless now, for death ha set them free from pain and fear. O a bed, beside thc altar, lay the bod of a man, over which was spread cloak of fur and velvet, which, in th life-time of the world, would hav been most precious. His eyes wei decently closed, the curtains of th bed drawn round him, and the pillo which supported bis head was marke with the pressure of another beac and with moisture, which could hal been only the tears of his wife. Th floor of the church was in confusioi like the dwelling of one too much di tracted with troubles to attend t what did not relate to it; but thei was corn, which had served for foot and fuel, heaped on a stone whic had been a hearth- there was a drat ing of a woman and a beautiful plac but these were cast into acorner, pr bably by theirritable handof despai On a table, stood empty cups, whit ha<l long, perhaps, been dry; tl glass of one had been shivered, ai the fragmenta lay on tho floor; the were also a few books, neglected ai covered with dust. In the churc yard were the mai-ks of three rece graves; ono of them had a stone its head, on which which was carve with care, the name of Alfred, ai the soil was fenced and support with sticks, so as to preservo its sha over the body-probably it was th of the first child, whom the paret: had committed to the dust. Alioth was more hastily prepared, and : superfluous labor had been bestow on it. This must be the last, wh heart and health were both failin Paulett aud Ellen kneeled and pray beside them, and rejoiced that t mother, too, was at rest, after t long misery of tips scene. They i turned to the cave, and, under t shadow of the rock, near tho ? course of the brook,.laid both moth and child, covering their bodies wi stones, and, thinking moro of t probable re-union, in some unknoi scene, of the spirits of that famil than of the distauco which separat their graves on this earth. And now, with a good store of d monds, and with increasing skill ai success in the resolution of them ir water, both Paulett and Ellen look upon the lives of all as safe for t present, and their thoughts were liberty to wander to somo other sr ject. They believed that they a their children were alone in t world; for every sign of life fr< other countries, as well as their ov. had ceased. It was very long sir any human tidings had come; a though, after men had done with each other, birds continued their mi? grations, theso had now long been over, and tho years passed away without bringing as sending a single wing. The course of the seasons, too, was strange and unnatural. It seemed as if the earth performed its usual course in tho heavens, and kept its place and functions in the move? ments of the planets; days and nights varied in their length according to thc season, and the heat of tho sun was at one time of the year great, and at another weak; but much that de? pended hitherto on the constitution of the globe was suspended. There wero no clouds in the sky, no dews dropping from the air, no reproduc? tion in the earth. It seemed decayed, and dying of old age. Yet Paulett said a new existence would, perhaps, arise on this same scene, and from these same elements. Once before the earth had been reduced to eight persons by the action of water; and now the absenco of the same element had brought it to four. Charles and Alice might be the destined parents of a new race, and those names that were so familiar now might become the venerable appellation of tho founders of the third race of man. Ellen smiled and shook her head, looking at the boy and girl, who were building a house of pebbles; and both parents listened for a while to what they were saying. Charles recollect? ed the house he had dwelt in before the great shipwreck of human life drove them to the cavern ; and ho was teaching Alice that there were rooms below and rooms above, and that he had heard how people like their father had carried great stones, and put them one on another to make these rooms. Alice persisted in making her house one hollow ca? vern, and the other she called Charles house, and did not understand his recommendation. "Charles is taking the part already of a teacher, in whom remains thc traditionary knowledge of an old world," said Paulett; "and Alice rep resents the new inhabitants, who have their own rude copies of natural ob? jects, but who will be open to th? training of the learned man." "The learned mau will be theil father," said Ellen. "They wil gladly take their notions from him.' "Yes; but if it should be so des tined, the first generation must wort hard, merely to live-they must bi very long ignorant of everything ex cept a paternal government and sud habitations as can be raised or appro propriated most easily. They will Ix children in comparison to Charles al their lives, if we can but succeed ii giving him the ideas of the age ii which we have lived. Fancy, then Ellen, increased to perhaps fifty in habitants before he dies, a very oh man coming round his chair to hea: of the wonderful steam engine, am the use of the telescope, and to lean the art of printing, and the hst of tin different languages, which Homans Frenchmen, Germans, Greeks used and what lions wore, and horses." "Or tell them how ho and Alio escaped from the great drought,' said Ellen. "But, alas! it is far mon likely he and she will perish in it and, then, of what use is this know? ledge to him?" ,;\Vhy-his soul. 'It is a thin; immortal like thyself;' and if wha ho knows is of no use bert1, it will b useful elsewhere." "What!" said Ellen, smiling; "ar there railroads and telescopes in un other world?" "For aught I can tell. At al events, tho powers that contrive then here may contrive something fron the same principles hereafter." "But we can tell nothing about th other world," said Ellen. "Nay, this is (motlier world to th stars; and if we know nothing aWon our destiny, the only way we have t< judge is by what we actully arc, an> tend to be now. So, while life r< mains, I will teach my boy all know, "and go on as a man of thi world ought to do; then we shall h ready for everything." Accordingly, Paulett every day cai ried on Iiis son's education, as far u the boy's age permitted, and instruct ed him in all that he would hav learned had the world been as it wi formerly. Only like a man in shij wreck, looking forward to a desei island as his best hope, lie dwelt nu? upon what would bc most usefn supposing Charles (being pr?serv?e to have to provide for the physic; necessities of a new race of mai Next in order came science and art and it was easier to make him fei the merits of these than of the e: ploits of man, especially when tho consisted of valor and of the deer of conquerors; for the heroic virtui seemed to take a new character in til present circumstances of the work and whereas they used to blaze i personal danger, and at the sonn and applause of men, they no burned brightly in tho endurance < the world's dissolution, which, wit all its terrors and prolonged impre sinus, must be met by the calm, sci sustaining spirit rising superior to tl greatest excess of physical injur Tho boy's soul replied to the c:i upon it. He learned to look on ti dangers before him, and to consid? the possibility of escape with qui< calculation of chances. He inure himself to privation readily, an eagerly tried to spare his mother an Alice from it. He and Iiis fathe hand in hand, walked over the des? late land, realizing the idea that thc were in fact spirits, superior to a physical things, and divided froi spirits and their sphere only by their frail connexion with a body. They talked of virtue und duty, and how good it was to dwell in these .painful bodies, since they were the place wherein virtue was practiced and duty Learned; und the father taught thc son that the opportunities oc? curred, not only in enduring the dis? solution of the frame of present things, und in the untiring exertion to aid and support life in those who were of weaker sex than they; but in ubiding, with even and cheerful tem? per, the vexations of every day, and in adorning as far as possible, as well as preserving life. Thc mother was heroic, good and patient, too. She brought lier children, night and morning, to tho mouth of the cavern, and there they all kneeled by Paulett, who prayed aloud with them and for them. Then Ellen made ready their meal, which must all bo prepared without water, and which consisted of the stores from former harvest?, of which there was abundance laid up in various houses; and the little Alice, who conltl run at ber mother's side, learned to be useful in some matters, and patient and obedient. Charles played with her and taught her; and ho himself, mere child as ho was, grew merry in his play and earnest ; and many a time the profound silence of the oarth was broken by the hearty laugh of children, which would ring out through tho cavern and revorbe- j rate against its walls. They grew, | and were perfect and beautiful in | shape; their minds developed, and talents and virtues lilied them. They j were types of man and woman-the j one bold and protecting, tho other seeking for affection and defence, j They flourished when means ap- | peared inadecpiato to their support; j and amid a paralyzed world, it was i in them ouly that body and spirit seemed to unfold.
