n V* LOVE
W16s first love! 'Tim a shadowy thing
9t hallow. our early yoeth;
* ' 6e Ifjah Sughis have taken wing,
Or ' srt has lost its truth.
'TI. a wij 'bright dream, that quickly lies,
Ikes acloud in a summer hour,;
14k. a sunbeam bklt in winterysekles,
Gr'the dew on au-dpening flower.
It pases. away,,and scarie leaves a trace,
In the heart that hth felt Its spell.
Othe'r thoughts, other hopes, usurp the place,
WhereIt alone did dwell.
'But never again, In our after years,
blr0a 1 Wev with a love an true,
A?1 1igs wh hope, andi as f'ee from tears;
"Ali the love that we earliest knew. N.
k dave may gain more than an honei
man for a day, but an honest inan will gai
the most.irs a year.
It is a mark of a depraved mind, to snet
at ,decrepId old age, or to ridicule any on
who is deformed in his person or lacketh ur
derstanding.
There are three enquiries, the right app!
cation Qf which constitutes the whole duty <
mn: . From whence came I ?-What is m
business here-Whither do I tend l
He who swears. informs us his bare woi
is not to be credited.
Use not evasions when called upon to d
a good action,.nor excuses when you are re
preached for doing a bad one.
Catch not too soon at an offence, nor giv
too easy way to anger. The one shows
weak judgment; the other, perverse nature.
A FRAGMENT.
What is life) A mass of trouble
What Is Joy 1-a passing gleam
* What is pleasure-1 but a bubble
What is happiness I but a dream I
What Is truth 1 a staff reflected
'Duty I an unwelcome clog;
Peace I a dazzling moon reflected
In a swamp or watery bog.
B.
FItST IMPRESSION'S
*If you want to gain any man's good opinior
take particular care how you behave the firn
time you are in company with him. Th
light you first appear in to one who is neithe
unelined to think well or ill of you, wi]
strongly prejudice him either for or againa
you.
A WORD TO THlE WISE
Don't touch the lute wthen drums are re
sounding. A wise man remains silent whilt
fools are speaking.
Sophistiy is like a window-curtain; i
plbases as an orament, but its true use
.to keep out the light.
iEvery thing great is not always good, bu
tall good things are great. Except good emal
potatoes.
So, so I-If a man reap "whatsoever h
sowoeth," and it seams fair that ho shoulc

tallors will.have one of these days I
woMAN's SMIL.E.
-There is a star that brightly gleams,
'Calm in the sky above,
.-And throws o'er life its golden beams
Of happiness and .love:
.Abeacon,pure. whose radiance bright
* 'o lowering .ctoud confines;
A -. *But in afflictioe's stormy night
* With heavenly lustre shmnes.
- There is a star, whose magic power
So firmly binds the soul,
That e'en in joy's most sunny hour
* .Man feels its sweet control:
gAlootsa light, whose mystic spell
Lif, hpe ndjoy imparts
-id calms the wikd .tempestuous swel
Of earth's despairing hearts.
*The-star that from its glittering sheen
Gilds life's declining slope,
And throws o'eryouth'seresplendant scent
Theri rosy tints of hope.
T~.he slar that drives the clouds away,
*.'hpaugh dark they frown awhile;
A 4ever shines with peerless ray
lWoman's angel smile.
WaaravER turns the soul inward on itself
tends to concentre It forces, and to fit It foi
greater and stronger flights of science.

Incendiary Publications.
Self-defence is the first law of nature.
If abolition agents make their appear.
ance in the South, with treasonable and
incendiary objects, we have laws which
will be strictly enforced against them,
and there is no powor which can avert
the consequences of guilt., Why shall
we not deal out equal justide with incen
diary publbations ? Why should mails
be allowed to convey them to the South?
Why should people living in the South
and protected by Southern laws be per.
mitted to receive and circulate such
publications ? The National (?) Anti.
r Slavery Standard attempts to force a
e circulation of its filthy sheet -in every
part of the South, and has insulted US
and numerous other Carolinian journals
by asking an exchange. Now this is
not a question of 'free-soil or free terri
tory in California: it is an incendiary
sheet sent into the South, to urge and
advocate immediate emancipation.
D Pamphlets of a similar character, al.
tho' striving to maintain a Southern
authorship, sent by Northern abolition
agents, in various guises, are flooding
the South, and we contend that every
southern Pos:,master would be justified
in throwing them all out of the mails.
No act of the United States Govern
ment, which endangers the safety of a
State, can be carried into effect in that
State. Every citizen of a State, is,
ex-ofcio, a magistrate, and bound to
protect the safety of the State and peo
pIe, whenever, or wherever, it may be
threatened. The power given to the
United States to control ai regulate
Sthe mails, a mere convenient power for
facility, safety and expedition, probably
Irevenue, confers no right to transmit
publications, which may endanger the
safety of the State and probably, the
whole Union. That one member of
the Southern Press, who, would ex
change with the Anti-Slavery Standard,
gives that paper by so doing, a direct
invitation to pursue and carry out its
object, A difference of political opin
t ions, should be always tolerated and
I treated liberally; but here is an incen
diary attempt which involves no politi
cal questions, at all, and is intended as
a blow against the South and southern
institutions. If we permit it to fal
upon us, without an uplifted arm to
prevent it, the fault will be our own!
The State at large now awaits the de
liberations of the Committee of Safety,
at present holding its Convention at
Columbia.
THEATRIcAL RIoTS.--An extensive
crowd of rioters interrupted Mr. Mac
ready's performance at the Opera
House New York, and behaved so
shamefully that the military on being
called out, fired on them killing thirty
and wounding over one hundred per
sons The rioters are said to have been
in the pay of Forrest, whose hostility to
Mr. Macready is well known throughout
the land.

of tho 'Indennification bill by the Gov
ernorv ho, instead of taking -sides
with the;English party, attempted to
conciliate the French, regarding. their
opposition as imor o serious than that of
his own nation, is the pr text for these
revolutignary proceedings, A war and
a civil war ofaraces, of language, and
of religion ais, generally a fierce one.
The royalisti dedlare that they will be
English in language, laws andreligion;
that toleration is one thing, but- princi
ple is another; that the moment Canada
was conquered it became an English
colony, but, to conciliate the Canadians
it has been continued Freticli since
1765; .that laws are passed in. the
French languages that the 'debgte in
Parliament are in Frendhi-tbat J'udges
and Ministers of the crowxi ate Ftench;
that the Canadians can speak English,
but will not, and their bishops, curates,
monks and friars unito to. compel the
English to maintain the French ascend
ancy, and so, the war is one of Nation
ality, one against the French and not
the Government. As yet there has
been no very serious fighting between
the troops and the people nor is it likely
that there will be any. If Lord Elgin
be recalled, it may soothe the English
party, and should a successor be ap
pointed- he ought to be an enet getic,
conservative man. Neither side express
any desire for annexation, with our
Federal government; the French have
no wish for it, and the English no desire,
but, if the British Government in this
outbreak shall take sides with the
French party, the English party will
declare in favor of annexation and all
upper Canada will join. No immedi.
ate steps will be taken until hearing
from the parent government, excepting
personal, quarrels breaking windows;
and breaking heads; but the seeds of
disunion have been planted and we
shall see how the tree will grow.

A WORDn TO PLANTERS.-AN intelli
ent Planter (says the Columbus Demo.
:rat,)desires us to call the attention oftheo
armers of the country to the faict which
e has discovered in relation to the present
ondijtion of the growving corn. On exam.
nation of the stalks which appear to hanvo
efied the Iato severe frost and to be putt.
ing forth bhlades, luxuriantly, he found a
lack mould or rather blight in the centre
nd running dowvn to the root. This ho
uphposes to be the flower of the plant, or
ructilying principle, from wvhich the
isel of the corn shoots. The absence
*f this, or its imperfect state, wvill not
etard the growvth of the stalk, but will
tTctually prevent thtesame bearing "corn
ai the car." It will yield a fodder but
cot a grain product ! It is well then for
he plhmter to observe this result of the
ate frost and provide against a failure of
avest, by a general replanting of a corn
rop.
