“ LOVE HER NOT HUE IS ANOTHERS.”
DY W. B. SMITH.
ifm
The sun’s not mine, and yet 1 love,
The warmth of ita rising beams.
As it nourishes the grateful earth,
And flashes along the stream.
The moon’s not mine, and yet I love
Her pure and mellow rays,
As she gives to the nig^it her beauties
bright
And life to the poet’s lays.
1 love the f|Uirs, Gods beauteous, Stars,
Which gem the brow of even,
And prove to us there is brighter gems
Laid up for us in heaven.^.
I love the sweet twilight,
Which tells us day is gone,
An emblem that the day a^life,
Is rushing quickly on.
Then why not love, that beauteous eye,
Though it beam not on me.
Why not admire, the placid brow,
Which tells of purity.
Why may 1 not that soft haiMpreps
And gaze on that beauteouSiiMe,
And wish for another just liujk'-r
As my heart’s tit resting plaw.
LINES FOR*THE FLAG.
“Once a bloom was on the hours,
And my spirit like a bee
Flew, through sunshine, to the flowers,
Which young hope raised up for me.
And sweet thoughts my memory bind
Deep within her honeyed store,
Bo the soul of spring survived,
After spring’s sweet life was o’er—
Now the foam is on the wave,
And the sear is on the leaf,
And to-day, but digs the grave,
Which entombs to-morrow’s grief:

ous dogma of Jespotiam; a dogma
which has long since been repudiated
by Locke, iLdney, Milton, Harrington,
aiid by evilly writer of the law of na
ture and nations, worthy of being cited
as authority before a free people.—
Why, there is not a statesman, or a
newspaper in all England, not even a
bishop, that dares to maintain this doc
trine in the face of the world. Yet
strange ty say, here, even here in what
1 is called flic freest country on earth,
this doctrine of passive obedience and
non-resistance is openly proclaimed by
the highest authorities in the highest
legislative body in the land, echoed by
scores of newspapers that pretend to
be advocates of human rights.
We confess we are astonished at
their hardihood in thus asserting a
principle which if once recognized and
acted upon, will surely result in the
consolidation of the Government, and
the slavery of the people. These gen-
1 tlcmen have shouldered a very heavy
: burden, and must either sink under it,
or the country will sink under them.

HE LOVES HER MEMIIRV NOW.
BY THOMAS J. DIEHL.
He loved her when youth’s merry beam
Was sparkling in her eye,
He loved her when life seemed a dream,
Without a foar or sigh.
He loved her when the sunny smile
Was lighting up her brow—
That eye is closed—that smile is fled;
He loves her memory now.
He loved her when the bloom of health
Was fresh upon her cheek;
He loved her when her kindly voice
In gentle tones would speak.
He loved her ere the hand of care
Was planted on her brow—
Her voice is hushed—that bloom is dead:
He loves her memory now.
He loved her when he saw the rose
Upon her cheek decay.
He loved her though he knew Us glow
Was passing fast away.
He loved her when beneath life’s storm
He saw her meekly bow—
The storm is past, end she is gone;
He loves her memory now.
He loved her when her eye grew cold,
And lost its starry light,
He loved her when her sad tear told
Of early coming blight.
He loved her when hernarul he pressed.
And beneath his earnest vow.
She smiled reply, and he was blessed—
He loves her memory now.
He loves her when her fluttering breath
Came bearing many a sigh;
He loved her when in chilly death
He aaw her sleeping lie.
He loved her when the tomb's cold seal
Was resting on her brow—
He often wanders near her grave,
And loves her memory now.
vtng behind them the following parody
on the Declaration of Independence:
When, in the course of human events,
it becomes necessary for a hungry,
half-fed, imposed on set of men, todis-
solv 5 the bands of landlord and board
er, a decent respect for the opinions of
mankind requires that they shoMld de
clare the causes which have impelled
them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evi
dent : all men are created with mouths
and stomachs; and they are endowed
by their creator with certain inaliena
ble rights, among which are, that no
man should be compelled to starve,
out of more compliance to a landlord,
and that every man has a right to fill
his stomach and wet his whistle witli
the best that’s going.
The history of the present landlord
of the White Lion, is a history of re
peated insults exactions and injuries,
all having iu direct object the establish
ment of absolute tyranny over our
stomachs and throats. To prove this
let facts be submitted to a candid
world.
He has refused to keep anything to
drink but bald-face whiskey.
He has refused to set upon his table
for dinner anything but turnip soup,
with a little rouge beef and sour crout,
which are not wholesome and necessa
ry for the public good.
He has refused to let his only ser
vant, blink-eyed Joe, put more than six
grains of coffee to one gallon of water.
He has turned loose a multitude of
musquitoes to assail us in the peaceful
hours of night, and eat up our sub
stance.
He has kept up, in our U-ds and
liedsteads, standing armies of merciless
ruh
so accustomed to disregard the moral
sense of shame, as to openly violate the
Sabbath day, indulging in street pas
times, during its day or evening hours.

SECESSION.
The following paragraph is from the
“ musings” of a correspondent of the
Southern Press:
“ When franklin was before a com
mittee of the British House of Com
ptons, previous to the commencement
of the revolution, and in stating the
condition of the public mind ip the
colonies, alluded to the probability of
a separation, in case tlie’.r
were not speedily redi
scornfully asked which

which resistance dP ^ecession would
be justifiable on th^’part of the colo
nies. He answered with his usual
brief simplicity: ** Those that feel, can

distinguished destruction.
He has excited domestic insurrec
tion among us, by taking bitters before
breakfast, and making his wife and ser
vants do the same before dinner, where
by there is often the very deuce to pay.
He has waged cruel war against na
ture herself, by feeding our horses with
broom straw, and carrying them to
drink where the swine refuse to wallow.
He has even protected one-eyed Joe
in his villany in the robbery of our
jugs, by pretending to give him a mock
trial, after sharing w^li him the spoil.
He has cut oft* our trade with for
eign ports, and brought in his own
bald-face whiskey, when we had sent
him to buy I tetter liquor abroad ; and
with perfidy scarcely paralleled in the
most barbarous ages, he has been
knownJp drink our foreign spirits, and
fill up tilt bottles with his own dire po
tions.
He has imjiosed taxes upon us to an
enormous amount against our consent,
and without any rule but his own arbi
trary will and pleasure.
A landlord whose character is thus
marked by every act which may define
a tyrant and a miser, is unfit to keep a
boarding house for Cherokee Indians.
Nor have we been wanting in our
attentions to Mrs. B. and Miss Sally.
We have appealed to their native jus
tice and magnanimity; we have con
jured them to altar a state of things
which would inevitably interrupt our
connexion and correspondence. They,
too, have been deaf to the voice of
justice; we are, therefore, constrained
to hold all these parties alike inimical
to our well being and regardless of our
comfort

she patted him on the head, parted his,
hair, and told him to sit down and eat
his supper, which the young gentlemen
did with considerable unction.
“Isaac ! Isaac !” screamed Mrs. Par
tington, at the foot of the little stairway
that led to the attic where the boy slept
the next morning after the above accur-
rence. “Isaac!” and he came down
stairs slowly rubbing his eyes as he
came. She had disturbed his morning
nap.
“Isaac said she what is that hanging
yunder to a limb of our apple-tree.—
One scattering tree as she said, consti
tuted her whole orchard, unless she
counted the poplar by the comer.
“I can’t see so far off,” said Ike still
rubbing his eyes.
“Well I should think it was a cat and
it looks to me like our Tabby. Oh,
Isaac if you have done this! and a tone
akin to horror trembled in her voice.
“I’ll go and see if it’s her,” said Ike,
as if not heat ing the last part of her re
mark, and he dashed out of the door;
but soon came back with wonder de
picted on every feature of his expressive
countenance. “Oh it’s her sure enough
it’s her!” cried he, “hut I did drop
her!”
“Well how could she come there then
and the good lady looked puzzled.
“I’ll tell you how I guess it was said
Ike looking demurely, “1 guess she com
mitted suicide because we was going
to drop her; they are dreadful knowing
enters you know.
“True enough,” replied the old lady
while something like a tear glistened in
her eye—her pity was excited “ true
enough,” Isac, and I dare say she felt
hard of us for doing it, hut she hadn’t
ought to if she’d have considered a min
ute.”
Ike said no more, but went out and
cut down the supposed suicide with a
serious manner, and buried her beneath
her gallows deep among the roots of the
old tree, and she never came hack.
The old lady told the story to the
minister and Ike voucheif for it, but the
good man shook his head incredulously
at the idea of the suicide, and looked
at the boy. He evidently understood
how the cat was dropped.

FIDELITY.
Never forsake a friend. When ene
mies gather around—when sickness
falls on the heart—when the world is
dark and cheerless-isthe time to try true
friendship. The heart that has been
touched will redouble its efforts when
the friend is sad or in trouble. Adversity
tries true friendship. They who turn
from the scenes of distress, betray their
hyjHicrisv, and that interest only moves
them. If you have a friend who loves
you—who has studied your interest
and happinsss, be sure you sustain him
in adversity. Let him feel that his
former kindness is appreciated, that hi?
love w as not thrown away. Real fidel
ity may be rare, but exist in the heart.
Who has not seen and felt its power ?
They only deny its worth and pow’er
who have neither loved a friend or la-
i bored to make him happy. The good and
I kind, the affectionate and virtuous
and feel the heavenly principle. They
would sacrifice wealth and happiness
to promote the happiness of others and
in return receive the reward of their
love by sympathizing hearts and count
less favors, w’hen they are brought into
distress and adversity.
BOYS OUT AFTER NIGHTFALL.
I have been an observer, as I am a
sympathizing lover of hoys. I like to see
them happy cheerful, glcoaome. I am
not willing that they be cheated out of
the rightful heritage of youth—indeed I
can hardly understand how a high-
toned useful man can be the ripened
fruit of a boy who has jmA enjoyed a
fair share of glad privil<Kj«)ue to youth.
But while I watch witn|0pry jealous
eye all right and customs w’hich en
trench upon the proper rights of boys,
I am equllay apprehensive lest parents,
who are not fore-thoughtful, and who
have not habituated themselves to close
observation upon this subject, jiennit
their sons indulgences which are almost
certain to result in their demoralization
if not in their total ruin; and among the
habits which I have observed as tending
most surely to ruin, I know of none
more prominent than that of parents
permitting their sons to be in the streets
after nightfall. It is ruinous to their
morals in all instances—they ac
