SOWET. ( o it i r. i x a i..) Ala?, my country men can ye not feel When Yankee wrongs insult you ami oppress, Vntil indignant honor claims redress. And will no longer hear the goading heel? The taunting mockery of a mere caress, I'esigned but to disarm you and to steal. With discord on your counsels; not to heal, t>r mako your injuries by aught the less ? Kren thus an urchin soothes the patient Ass, Which his malicious cruelties hurra ss Into a momentary restiveness; Hut did the Ass e'rc prate of "honor saved,*' His back bestridden and his will enslaved. -And all his Ass-ship held in vile duress? TRUTH AM) IIOXOR. If wealth thou nrt wooing, or title or funic, There is that in the doings brings honor or shuinc; Tliere is more in the running than winning the race. This marks thee as worthy, that brands thee as base. Oh, then, be a man, and whatever bolide, foe" truth thy companion. and lienor thy guide! if a king, be thy kingship right royally shown, And trust to thy subjects to shelter thy throne ; ^ fti'iv u.n uu ?earv. ... v..

The heart truly noble is that tvhivh is good ; If*the stain of dishonor encrimsoii thy brow, ey Thou art a slave to the peasant that sweats at tinplow ; Be noble as men: and whatever betide. Keep truth yourcoinpanion, and houoryo'r guide, j If a lover, lie constant, cotiliding atul kind, For doubting is death to the sensitive mind; Love's exquisite passion a breath can destroy, 0 "Who sowetli in faith exacts harvests of joy. , I lit loving, be men, a ml whatever betide, Keep tru:h yourcoinpanion, and honoryo'rguide. If a parent, be linn, yet forgiving and true; ? Ifacl ild, honor him to whom honor is due? If rich, or if poor, or whate'er thou uiayst be, Remember the minimi aione arc me iree.

I A larjje meeting was heldat Abbeville ('. 11., on .Monday last, tortile purpose of tormina til companies of .Minute Men in tliat Hist riot. -\ to company w;is funnel at the Court ilousenum- .,c berinit seventy men, and another was organized at (iret'liwood. ('tlicr companies are to he ,,| formed throughout the Itistriet. When eight pi companies arc formed a regiment will ho or- tii gnnized. An executive Committee was ap- :t| pointed to raise tlie requisite number of com- p, panics. The Committee consist of Hon, J. I*' .Marshall, lion. A. Hurt, John A. Calhoun, A. th C. Hawthorn, Col. M. 0. Talmon, Capt. John (>x Hrownlew, Capt. J. M. Cochran, Capt. John T. or I'arks, 1 >r. J. \V. Hearst. They have adopted the hlue. rosette. pi The Yiirki'./lc JCmjiiiiyf, speaking of tJicor- th ganizntion says: in "That the inoveinent. will meet with a In spirited response from all ijiiartersof our Carolina and the South, wc have every reason to S(. believe. Wc can speak for the people of this State, that they are thoroughly eonviiieed j| that their only hope of security and safety, ,,| now lies in the strength of their own right Si arm. Kvcrv gale that comes to us from the n ' ... . .. i North, is laden with taunts and insults, while I n< every dark place within our borders is tilling ! ui with cinmisnric* and instruments for our sul?- t \ juration. Tile cry of salvation in the I "nion, in is too weak to he heard above the storm. ri W itli a people so aroused, aiiv concerted ot movement for the ueiiern) defence, like that of the ".Minute men,'* must meet with a hearty C reception. The motto of the State?"//uiiiiis ? <Yitlmsjitc pnmtr?is to be vindicated and w her sons w ill vindicate it. Sin- w ill be ready tc in courage and resources, when the dark hour n< of battle comes. Let every one coolly and deliberately "count the cost'* on both side*? Ji the cost of snbinisiioii and the price bfsclf-de- w fence?and when the State call-, be ready to tl obey." oi .1 Re on !!?? .Vler(. ti We liave seen aoirciilaraddrcssed to a 1 *??t- ol Master of this District signed, A.

Never t<> allow a patient to lie waked, intentionally, or aeeidoiitallv, is a .w//e i/ua lion of all nmd imi-in^. If lit-is roused out of his lirst deep, lie is almost certain to have no more deep. It. is a curious but <|itite intelligible fact, lliat if a patient i? waked after a few hours, in lead of a few minutes* sleep, lie is much moro likely to sleep again. JJeeause pain, like irritability of the brain, perpetuates and intensive" itself. If you have gained a respite of either in sleep, yoti liave gained more than the mererespite. llnth the probability of rectirrc'ffco ami ot tin: same intensity will l>c diminished; 5 whereas ln>tli will In; terribly increased by want 4, ?t This is tlie reason wliy sleep is soaH- ' i:i!|M>rtant.

A heallliv person, wlio allows himself to sleep during t lie < lay, will I use his sleep at ni^ht. Jiut it is exactly tlie reverse with toe sick gcnerallv: the mote they sleep, the better will tliey be able to' sleep. I have often been surprised at the thoughtlessness (resulting in cruelty, ipiitc iiiiiiiteiitionallv)of friends, or ofiloetors, who will liohl a long conversation just in the room, or passage * adjoining to the room of the patient, who is j either every moment expeeting them to come * in, or who lias just seen them, and knows they are talking about liiin. If he is an amiable patient, lie will try to oe.-upy bis attention clscw here and not to listen?and this makes tbe matters worse? for the strain upon bis attention, and the etlbrt he makes are so great, that it is well if he is not worse for hours after. 11*it is u w hispered conversation in the same room, then it is absolutely cruel; for it is impossible that the patient's attention should not be involuntarily strained to bear. Walking tip-toe, doing anything in the room very slowly, arc ini'lri-'iis for exactly the same icasons. A firm, light, ipiiek step, a steady, ?|tiiek band, are the ./. v/.I ritl/t not tin.

Slowness is not gentleness, though it is often mistaken for siirli: tjiiiekiiess, lightness, and gentleness, are ignite compatible. Attain, if friends and doctors iliil I'lii watch, as nurses can and should watch, the features sharpening. I lie eves growing almost w ild, of fever patients who are listening for the entrance from the corridor of the persons w hose voices they are hearing, these would never rim the risk again of creating stieli cxpection, or irritation of mind.
