Memories
Long ;mn ago, at the sunset hour, a
When the gorgeous western sky f,
Trembled and biased 'ncath the fiery glance j]
Of the Dav-Klnir's elosinir ???.
? ? -* -? n
I saw by tho door of a lowly cot,
'Neath the aliadc of an old oak tree,
o
A fair young mother ait and ting ^
To her babe upon her Icuce.
She warbled a tender lull-aby
In a low molodioua tone :
|]
'Twas a prayer that called God's blcssng down |
On the head of her unweancd eon. 8'
And fraught with lovs^wero tho worda ahe sang? 81
Rich breath of her heart's sweet flower, 8
O ! she looked like a saint, with glory robed, b
Intibe flash of that aunaet hourj tl
And the gold-haired child on her breast, that lay fi
With its slumber-closed eyes, A
Like a ehernb seemed, that had wandered down ti
From ita homo beyond the skies.
Years, yean have flown slnee this face so fair, "
This vision of long ago, ?
"Was "limned on my mind by a pencil dipt C
In the sunset's glorious glow j c
Yet I hold it still?undimmed aud bright i<
On the canvas of my soul; S
far ;ne asset sad tears of the pusin; years, c
Can touoli not the beautiful.
Long years ago, as the sun went down *
O'er the hills so drear and gray,
I baric farewell to the dearest hopes,
(That had aver lit uiy way.
I lost a gem that was worth the world,
Its pearls that lined the sea,
Its glittering ores, and thrones, and crowns? '
Yes, 'twas worth them all to aa
'Twos a heart whose love I dearly prised?
A heart so warm and true,
And the richest gifts of its love were mine?
'Twas my crown and kingdom too.
And I lost it in that dim sunset,
Under the old oak tree,
I lost the heart I had hoped to hold,
Thra' the long eternity.
0, hope was shut from my spirit thon,
0, this was a world of dole ;
And the words that severed my friend and mo,
Were burned into my sonL
I looked my last on the face I loved,
But the floeting moments traced
Its features on my haunted soul, ?
Bo they never ru be eff^ed. ?
And now since dreary years have flown, o
I am gating thro* a tear ii
To the anntet dim, and the old oak tree,
And the treasure I loat there. j
Thua pain and beaatjr Umnen are, *
And the never-fading scroll ^
Where they traoe their featurea, dark add fair, t

Mr. J. W. Grady?Dsab Sib: Your favor of ?

der for sundry seeds. As your friend, Mr. Reid, '
Is now M the grain and produce cons mission be

nnd presume he has given it bis best attention. I'
We have made extensive preparations for busi li
ness this spring. Our buyer has recently re- H
turned from Europe, where he has purchased ?
largely, and as onr goods are now coining in u
very tepidly, we expoet our stock to be in ad- t
mirmWle eelKng condition at a very early period ?
of the season. Baltimore expects to do an in ^
creased amount of businesa with the South this <
spring, and we think she will be in glHHi eondi
lion for H.
We judge from the spirit of your letter that i<
Northern aggression haa at last compelled the
ttoufh to recoil upon the North upon the princi- I
<de of the " Almiatiiv " *n.u -

out fanatlclaea t)?n *1! the angry delotee in f
Congrem will ever do. Let the merchant# and t
manufacturers of the North onoe feel lb*t the 1'
trade of the South la gradually leaving them, ^
(for the pmeeea, in the nature of thing*, can on- c
ly he gradual.) and you will find a very different 1
aentiment prevailing there upon the queation of
Southern righto. The tone of their publle journal#.
and the hot hoetility of aome of their publle
men to the South, under the lnjurinua influ- ^
eooM of a deeltning Southern trade, will be mel* 11
lowed down by the voiee of injured inter eat.
We think now. aa we have al way* thought, that

merclaTly free end independent of tlie North. To '
do thia. it ahould be her poMey. Arat. u eeUMtsh, *

tfc? ?ifl? of the South thai they hm upon th? <
elite* of the North, the aspect of their trade and 1
commerce now eould be contemplated with minh I
more mtleteetion. While New York, Boston <
M4 Philadelphia hare grown in riehe* nod prospertly
under their liberal patronage, the eitlea
of the Sooth hove been neglected by lU own <
people, end enterpriae haa langtiWhed for the
rant of dne encouragement. Let the South 1
?mw look to thia matter of building up a great I
. v
mporting ind distributing market uuth of Ma*
ion and Dixon's Line. Whether she remains in
he Union or goes ont of it, this Is her true polity.
She owes it, as a duty, to herself, and the
hould no longer neglcet to perforin it
Baltimore, already the queen eity of the South,
an ofTcr many reasons why she should bo tliat
unrket. Commercially, sbe is already far in adnncc
of otlier Southern cities. She has a sell
re and spacious harbor, lies contiguous to one
f the largest bays in the world?the noble
Chesapeake; ia within convenient distance of
he ocean, and has good and improving railroad
nd steamboat connections witfy the South,
,nd a disposition to increase her shipping
icilities to any extent commensurate with
he encouragement she may receive. Her
icrchants are enterprising, capable and popu
ir. She possesses an abundance of capital and
thcr facilities for a large and extensive trade and <
ommorce, and, besides, site is the only Southern
ity on the Atlantic seaboard, with one excepion,
that is universally healthy at all soasons of <
he year. In the early fall, when merchants do- i
ire to make their purchases in chief for the casing
season, the yellow fever and other conta- i
ions are often prevailing to a most alarming ex* <
?nt in the cities further south. No difficulty of
his kind would be experienced here. We are 1
ee from it ell, and can present an open market
t all seasons of the year to the trade of the en- i
ire South.
The sympathy of Baltimore, with the South
re know, it viewed with suspicion, by many of
ur Southern friends, because a candidate for t
bngresa was elected here after he publicly delured
that the interests of Baltimore are more <
lentifud with the North than they are with the
outh. An intelligent lad, with any practical ,
onceptions of tlie business of Baltimore, would
ave known better than that But you must i
ot hold our community responsible for anything
lint that gentleman may say or do, either in of
ut of Congress, We do not consider him the
eprescntative from this city. He was elected
>y a series of the most undisguised, appalling
nd outrageous frauds which ever marked au
lection, we presume, in anaient or modern times.
)ur city, politically, has been in a most degrad
d position for come time past; but our Legislature
is about passing laws to meet the difficulty,
nd arc expect, in future, to have fair and ordery
elections. If our expectations are realized,
re will shew you, in tins Thirty-Seventh Congees,
where Baltimore stands.
As merchants, we not only repudiate that most
alse and injurious doctrine that the interests of
laltimore are more identified with the North 1
han they are with the South, but we unlu>?IUtini?. I
y assert, that, as a trading community, our chief
elianc? ia on the business of the South. This
iss been our position for many years, and we are
tot only bound to her by ties of interews, but,
s a people, we are essentially Southern, at home
r abroad, \u our feelings, habits and chnractcrities.
Baltimore is a Union-loving city. The Union,
n its interests, has always been the established
ad undi?|>uted public seoitlmenT. of her people.
Vith Southern affiliations and sympathies of
be most decided obaraetsr; her citizens are true
o the Union from the farce of instinct and equation
both, and they will continue so as long as
he Union can be preserved with honor to the
louth. The etntiment which prevails here upon
his subject, we believe to be the sentiment of
ur State. We considor It to be the first and
?st duty of a true American citizen to raise his
otee for the preservation of the Union, lint while
re do so, we demand for the people of the South
heir co-partnership rights under the federal
oinpact Let their rights be secured and guar
ntecd to them in good faith?silence abolition
anaticism at the North, and the Union, of its own
ecerd, will repose in peace and quietude. Then
larmony will lie restored to all sections of our
and?the bleeding wounds of this destitute naion
will be heiiled, and North and South will
ive in unison together under one Federal Govrnment,
and one ooie of Federal Laws, Baltinore'e
adhesion to the South need never be quesioned.
She has always been a Southern city,
nd her own preservation ae a commercial, mart,
isinnnds that she should continue to be one
rhether tlie Union should be perpetuated or disl
olved. What would site be at the tail end of
\ Nortliern confederation f little more than a

n half a century, she would become the second

It is due to Sir Willlnm Alexander to My that '
he gave the province the prond name which at '
present It enjoys, of Nova Scotia, or New Scot
land, a title much more appropriate than that of ,
" Acadia," which to as meant nothing. At this
time the French Colony win slowly recovering
froin the effects of the Argnll Expedition, thnt
eight years before had laid waste its fair possessions.
Among a number of emigrants from the
Loire nod Seine, two gentlemen of birth and education,
La Tour by name, father and son, set
out to seek their fortunes in the New World. It
must be remembered that in the original patent
of Acndia, given by Henry IV to l>o Monte, freedom
of religious opinion was one of the condi- (
lions of the grant, and therefore, the fact, that t
uoiii me ia lour* were Huguenot#, did not pre- .
vent tbem holding commissions under the French
crown, the futher having in charge a email fleet
of transports ready to sail from the harbor of
Brest; the eon being the commander oi a fort .
and garrison at Cape fcnble, upon tlie western .
end of Acadia.
Affair i being in this condition; it chanced that
the English and French ships set sail for the same ,
port, at about the same time ; and it so happened
that Sir William Alexander's fleet, meeting
with the elder La Tour's in a fog, not only captured
Uiat gallant chieftain, but also his transports,
munitions of wjir, stores, artillery, Ac., and
sailed back with the prizes to England. I beg
you to observe, my dear reader, that occurrences
of this kind were common enough at this period,
even in times of peace, and not considered piracy,
cither; the ocean was looked upon ns a
mighty chessboard, and the ghme was won
those who could command llie largest number of
pieces. Clar.de de la Tour, not as a nrisotier r?f
war, but us ao enforced guest of Sir William, J
was carried to London, and there robbed of bis
4
goods, but treated like a gentleman, introduced
at Court, although deprived of his purse and |
liberty, and, in a word, found himself surrounded
with the most hostile and hospitable conditions
in life. It is not surprising, then, that,
with true French philosophy, he should have
made the best of it; gained the good will of the ]
Queen, played off a little badinage with the la- j
dies of the Court, and forgcttiug the late Lady t
de la Tour, asleep in the old graveyurd in the (
city of ltocbcllc, essayed to wear his widower (
weeds with that union of grace and sentiment |
for which his countrymen are so celebrated.? (
The consequence was, one of her Majesty's maids \
of honor fell in love with him; the Queen en- ,
couraged the match; the King had fust institnt- (
ed the new order of Knights Baronet, of Nova
Scotiu ; La Tour, now in the way of good for- (
tune, was the first to he honored with the new <
title, and, at the same time, placed the matrimonial
ring upon the finger of the lovc-sick
maid of honor. Indeed, Charles Etrenue de la
Tour, commandant of the little fort at Cape Sable,
had scarcely lost a father, before he had
gained a step mother. That the French widower
should have been so captivated by these marks
of royal favor as to lose his discretion, in the
fullness tit hh gratitude ; and, that, after receiving
a grant of land from his patron, as a further
incentive, tie stiouM volunteer to assist In bringing
Acadia tinder the British Crown, as a prima,
ry step, undertake to reduce the fort at Cape
Sable ; I tay, that when I talc thin, nobody will
be surprised, except a chosen few, who cherish
some old-fashioned notions, in these days more romantic
than real. " Two ships of war being placed
under bis command," he set sail, with his guns
snd a stop mother, to attack the Fort at Cape
Sable. The latter was but jioorly garrisoned {
but then it contained a daughter-in-law ) Uuder
such circumstances, it was plain to be seen that
the contest would be continued to the last ounce
of powder. Opening the trenehes before the
Frenclf fort, and parading his Scotch troops in
the eyes of his son, the elder La Tour attempted
to eapture the garrison by argument. In vain
he " boasted of the reception he had met with
in England, of his interest at court, and the hon- *
or of knighthood which had been conferred upon 1
him." In vain he represented " the advantages
tlint would result from submission," the benefits
of British patronage; and paraded before the *
eyes of the young commander the parchment
grant, the seal, the royal autograph, and llie
ulitteriiii? title of Knii/ti lt?">?e 1?1
spired his perfidy. UU son, shocked and indignant,
declined the proffered honors and emoluments
tliAt were only to l?e gained l>v an act of
treason ("and intitnuted hie intention " to defend
the Fort with his life, sooner than deliver it up
to the enemies of his country." The father used
the most earnest entreaties, the most touching
and parental arguments. Charles Etienne was
proof against these. The llaroaet alluded to llie
large force under his command, and deplored the
necessity of making an attack, in case his propositions
were rejected. Charles Etienno only
douldcd his sentinels, and stood more Itiruily entrenched
upon hit honor. Then tha elder La
Tour ordered an assault. For two daya the

thein bach with ?nch bitter fury, that of the aa
aailanta it mat hard to eay which numbered

A Bit of Romance.
IL'DOK MOULD MARKS Ttllt ACQUAINT A NCR OF A LITTLK
OIRL.
At Judge Parker'* Lnw School sociable, which
took place on Tuesday evening, a well-known
member of the Albany bar got out some very interesting
anecdotes. lie favored the company
with a bit of romance in which Judge Gould figures,
and which, we believe, hat never been written
up.
Five years ago, this winter, Judge Gould led
Albany in a stage coach, for the purpose of
* holding court" in Schoharie. The day was inenscly
cold?some 10 degrees below rem. Judge
Mould's companions were Henry Smith, counselor
nt law, and two other persons^ At Sloan's
.he stage stopped, to enable the Judge and his
Vienna u> attack aero with " something warm."
Dn starting ,from Sloan's, the staje picked up a
ittlo girl, about 12 years of age. She was thiny
clad, and was traveling alone. Judge Gould,
raving a heart full of natural ten<Wn<i>? ?wr?n
liscovcred the Buffering condition of the child.
He thus addressed her:
" Are you not cold, my dear I"
" Very cold, indeed, air."
"Take my clonk, then, and bundle yourself up
ind become comfortable." Saying this, the Judge
ook off his cloak, trapped it around the little
prl, and did the rest of the distance in a dress
ioat. Having mnde the child comfortable, the
fudge enquired into the child's history.
The girl said she was an orphan?that she had
lived with a family near Sloan's That the family
Itad lately started for Wisconsin, and that she was
now compelled to seek a home with a brother
residing near tkdiohnrie Court House. Hie stage
liaving arrived at the Court House, Judge Gould
snquired for her brother, and found him to be a
lirsi|>ated fellow. Brother informed Judge that
lie " could not take care of any gal?much as he
Millltl f)n fA IaIta itKaswa a/ 1' "
Very well," said the Judge. "I will take
sore of her myself."
The brother finding out tlmt the gentleman
interested in liia aiater waa Judge Gould, changed
Id* ideas, and in about two hours informed the
fudge thntlie had mode up his mind to " provide
for the gnl." ** I have done the some?leave the
room." Brother left the room, and left the hotel,
threatening to get "four saahararrowa for
morning." Brother having left the hotel, Judge
Gould requested keeper to take excellent care of
the littlu girl and aend bill to him. Judge Gould
dosed the Circuit and returned to Albany, leaving
girl to lie brought down by Counsellor ??v
Counsellor honored the request, and conveyed
little girl to his residence in Troy, Judge Gould
received little girl with open arms, and next dny
sent her to school." The little girl received a lit*
ral education. In nl>out a year little girl having
become a young lady, made the acquaintance of a
wealthy gentleman in New York. Wealthy
gentleman and yonng lady bccotoe man and
wife.. Man and wife now live on one of the ave- '
nues, and are classed among the fnshionablea of
the metropolis. All thia romance from a goodnatured
act, performed by a goodmatured Judge,
to a little orphan girl picked up at Sloan's while
the thermometer stood 10 degrees below zero.

Make Farm Labor Fashionable.
At tbe base of the prosperity of any people
Ilea this great principle?make farm labor fashionable

attractive at the homestead. By means of
the powerful influences of early home education,
endeavor ts invest practical labor with an interest
that will cheer the heart of each member of
the family, and thereby you will give to the
household the grace, peace, refinement and attraction
which God designed a Aoms should posses,

Fkkiuxo CAtrtK i* Wix-rrn.? Observation and
experience have proved that the grand secret of
feeding cattle, so as to keep litem In good thriving
condition through the winter, ilea in a continual
change and viration of foo-i. The greater
the variety, the hotter the reaulta, say thoee who
hnte adopted this plan ; both with respect to the
Improvement and health of the cattle, and the
waste of food?the latter a very important point
for consideration?as thousands of dollars are lost
annually to stock owners by the waste occur
ring through the want of knowing how to use
the coarse and |iooror qonlittc* of fodder. By a
cliange of one kind of food to another, the eoar
ser kind* are tnade to serve an inqmrtAnt purpose
in saving the better sorts, and at the same time,
proving more acceptable and beneficial to the
cattle. Some farmers adopt the plan of feeding
the coarsest fodder early in the morning, and
giving their eattle a little good hay, grains or
roots at sunaeqnent periods through the day ;
making it a rule to feed at least fottr or five times
each day. The great principles to be oltserved^
however, is the regnlar and constant change
from one variety of food to another. Cornstalks,
wheat and oatstraw, with the various kinds of
hay, judiciously diversified wi h grains and roots,
may be made to follow each other In alternate
succession, and with decided advantage, especially
to ml Mi eows and ail neat stock, liorsea,
liower, require good hay every day : ml tie, Under
the strictest regimen of alternation, should have
good hay, or other first class nourishing fund
daily, as this will serve to keep them in health,
and cause them to est up clean the coarser kinds

be said to be the gr^at ttapie product of the
South; but singular m it may seem, planters have
not hitherto availed thetnsolvee of one half even
of its value. The plant is cultivated for the fiber
alone, the stalk and seed being thrown away, or
used only for manure. Whereas the seed, which
in weight equals even more than three times the
weight of the filter, needs but to be properly prepared,
to yield an oil worth from sixty cents to
one dollar per gallon, valuable alike for burning
nnd lubrication, and a salad oil far surpassing
the best olive oil from Seville.
The subject is one to which we have devoted
considerable attention, and we hope to present.

he would get me to draw a check for him, even
for five dollars, and he signed it If he drew tha
check himself, he made sad work of it It used
to lie said round ths country that when he had

money to lend him to go on with. Unlike some
olIters of the great men, however, he very often
paid when he borrowed. Hit accounts of who
owed him, and how much, he must have carried
chiefly in his head. He very often, however,
