SONG OF THE SABBATARIAN
Go barricade the river up,
And padlock down the rail ;
We'll have no train of Sunday run
We'll have no steamer sail.
Go, tell the sailor on the sea
To make his canvassj fast,
And tiust the mercy ot the waves
Till Sabbath shall be past.
Command the sun '.o stand his course,
Forbid the winds to blow,
And tell the flowers they shall not bloom,
The trees they shall not grow ;
The lit e wild bird shall not sing,
The lambkins shall not play,
The cattle shall ail silent be
It is the Sabbath day.
A 'id order yonder reprobate
That strolls olonj; the road,
To iwa at once from sinful ways,
Ani seek the house of God.
W hat need hath he of light and air ?
Go, bid him fas: and pray,
An l put a mournful visage on
It is th SaLbath day.
And te.l t(e cook when you are down.
At lour o'clock we dine,
AnJ, as well have some company,
To lay the cloth for nine ;
Aad call at number twenty-six,
And say to Mr. Brown,
That alter diaaef ve will drive
A lew n. lies out of town.
But, first run for my lettets, John,
Ai.d bring tiiein quick to hand,
That 1 may see belore 1 go,
How all the markets stand ;
For, it 1 dul not watc h them we.l,
ld soon be in the lurch,
AnJ then bin. 5 round the carriage, John,
And we wai drive to church.

Incident in tbe History of K. Carolina.
At the late coiftraencrmeni of the University of
North Carolina an address before the literary so

theme was, The Bath Times and Men of the
Loxcer Cape Fear." The speaker recited, during
the course of his oration, the following thrilling
and ever memorable incident in history ol tin
Old North State. In speaking of the history ol
the position of North Carolina in the great si nig
gle or American freedom, he said :

Gentlemen : The following is an 1 x tract of a
letter from a young Virginian, (a native of this
cuntv,) who is now a resident ol St. Joseph, Mis
souri :
" You ask me what will be 'he uitimnte fa'e of
Kansas, and whether the pro-slavery or anti-slave-
ry puny is in the ascendancy in the Territory ?
You seem to think that th- elections heretofore
have been carried by the Missourians. Such is
the impression that Reader and the Abolition pa-

the truth is, there is an overwhelming majority ol
the people of Kansas pro-slarery. The Afisaou
rians, ii is true, at tbe recent eleetions.attended in
large numbers the precincts ; but I do not suppose
thai one in a hundred voted. I know that at the
precinct opposite St. Joseph, there were not four
vots more polled than there were voters in the
Disinci, accoiding lo lhe census thai the Governor
had previously taken.

and she alone was the cruise of muiiv, if not all of

and oftentimes she would fiet about them till she

Bui we left ilietn preparing supper ; Margaret
has just begun to toast the bread, when little Car-ri-
commenced crying lor her supper.
'Tlx re,' said .Sirs. M 1 you leave lhat, I
will do it, while you feed Carrie, and put her to
bed ; as to having lhat noise I can't; and now see
how quick you can be.
M ;rg ret did as she was told, and very soon
the little one was last asleep.
' Dear me exclaimed she as Margaret returned
from the bed-oom, isn't lhat bread done yet ? -
Why, I would have have done it twice over; if
this isn't enough lo try anybody's patience, I'd like
to know what it i ; ou are so slow Margaret.
I don't know what I shall do; lure, I will do il
now, sain slie and taking it irom me gin, anu
do ynu on and tell Mr, M lit at supper is wait
for him.'
Now Mrs. M had the kitchen to herself,
and we will do her 'he justice to say, that in a very
tt w moments supper was prcpan d and ready for
ing the table.
' I wonder w hy Ralph don't come1' said she, as
she went towards the window soon after. ' I sent
for biin half an hour ago ; dear me, I suppose I
shall have to wait forever (or him now ; he's never
ready w hen I send for him. There, he's got a
man to talk with, and I suppose he'll hold on to
him as long as he can ; he: knows I'm waiting lor
Inm, too. ' Effie," continued she, lo her little
daughter, ' 20 down :isk vour father if he's com
ing in lo tea to-night ; tell him if he is, I want him
to come now ; ard if not. I'll clear off ihe table,
nnd wait till to-morrow morning. I'm not going
to wait much longer for anv bodv to-night.'
Ktiie did as she w as directed, and soon her fath-

ercame towards ihe house in company with a gen
detnan ; thev entered the door just as Mrs 51.
had commenced scolding again. An introduction
followed, and scon Mrs. M. was chatting as pleas- j

she saw her husband was a going out again.
1 Come, Ralph,' said she, tea has been waiting
for you this hour; I wish you would hurry.'
' Do not wail on me any longer,' he replied, ' I
shall be in soon.'
(),' muttered she, as he closed the door, Ralph
always likes to he late lo the table, and then he
gr,.,g clear of waiting on the children. I should
dunk,' she resumed, as he returned to the room,
. ,.ou mmht come w.hen tea is ready, and wai:
upon ihe table and lake some care of the children.
You know 1 have a!! !he care at noon, and the
least you can do is to see to them at night ; if you
had been hard at work all day as I have, you
would be glad to gel some help I guess. But you
never seem to think I have anything to do."
" Why, Carrie," said Mr. M. "what could I do?
The man came to see me upon business ; I cou'd
not send him home ;:nd he would not come in to
tea with me."
" Well," said she, "you know how it is as we'll
as 1 do, or ought to, certainly hy tins time."
Ralph looked up but mule no reply, thinking
without doubt that the fewer words ihe belter, but
anv one could see he felt hurl and disturbed as he

her lo act as she dul, but simply ihe lorce ol an .

j Women vs. Oxen. A certain clergyman once

Jersey, had occasion to quote Luke xiv. 16 20:
certain man made a great supper, and bade
many, and sent his servant at supper time, to say
to (htm thai were bidden. 'Come lor all things are
now ready .' And then they all, with one consent,
began to make excuse. The first Said unto him,
'I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs
go and see :t : I pray Ihee have me excused.'
And another said, l have bought five yoke of oxen,
and 1 go to prove them : I pray thee have me ex
cused.' And another said, '1 have married a wife ; j
and therefore, I cannot come.' "Now,' said
he venerable clergyman, "you see the man that
bought the land merely wished to be excused.

wished lo he excused; but the man that had mar"

Cure for Hydrophobia. The following is
an extract from a letter dated New Orleans, May
y, loO, irom an omcer in me army : "i senu
you herewith some seeds lor distribution, used in
ihe cure of the bite of the mad dog. It is conoid-
ered as an effectual remedy in the parish of St.
Bernard, of this State, and the cures which are
-r - . 1 .1 I
stated to have been effected from '.heir use are cer
tainly very remarkable. I regret not being able
lo give you their botanical nam0; but the plant is
a tropical one, coming from Mexico I believe
from the department ol Tabasco. The seeds are
called h'-re grains contre la rage, and ure us d as
follows : Three of them are broken up or pound
ed into small pieces, and into a wine glass of the
be st shsrry (Xeres) and allowed to steep for about
twenty-lour hours, and then, being well stirred
up, swallowed by the patient. This dose is re
peated three limes a day for about nine days,
when the person or animal may be considered as
cured. 1 am told that even dogs which have been
bitten by a rabid animal have been cured by this
treatment, or by pulling a larger quantity of lh-se
seeds into their food. The s tds must be suaked
in water twenty-four hours before planting, and

Convention, assuming the deliberate for the public
good, violates a fundamental principle of republi-
canisra when it conceals its proceedings Irorn Ihe
people. If ihey act as rulers, then the ruled should
know w hat action was taken and what influences
were brought to hear. Il but as representatives,
then their published proceedings should be equally
required. For instance: It is declared in the
j Platform " that the Union is the great paramount
political good, and the primary olji-ct ol patrio.ic
desire," and it also pledges those who endorse it
to suppress all geographical discrimination, or the
belief lhat there is 9 real difference of interests and
views between the different sections.
Now, we denv ilia; the Union is "the paramount
political good," or the "primary object of patriotic
desire." This is a new doctrine for South Caro- j ns to cause us lo declare it, in our opinion,
lina. Our Haynes, McDuffie, Calhouns, and j dangerous to States-rights, and un9ou id and un
others of more recent antecedents, have been in I satisfactory on the slavery issue Wimnbo u
the habit of cry ing out "Liberty first, Union nlier
wards ;" and the doctrine of nullifying an uncon
stitutional act, was regarded as essentia! to liberty.
Now we hear it proclaimed that the judiciary
power of the United Stales can only legally ex
pound and ascertain .in all doubtful or disputed
points, and as corollary lo this, "a habit of rever
ential obedience to the laws, whether national,
(how fond some are becoming of the work,) Slate
or Municipal, until they are repealed or declared
unconstitutional by tin; proper authorities." This
"habit of reverential obedience" is a most danger
ous one, particularly at this time. There is a

Register.
Trimmlns Apple Trees.
Apple trees may be trimmed in any month im
the year, provided no limbs are cut still we pro
fer May and June to other months, hecuuse lha
trees are tin n grow ing and the wounds are sooner
covered.
You need not fear their bleeding when Iho leaf
is out, for leaves take up Hie sap as last as it is
! made. You will find that 11 grape vine does not
bleed on beir.g trimmed after the leaf comes oul.
One great error of orclmrdists should be cor
reeled. They neglect lo dim annually. Al length,
finding the trees bear but little fruit, and that tha
limbs are too close and interfering with each oth
er, a great onslaught is made. Large limbs art
cut and large wounds are produced. AH this orl
ses from a neglect of annual trimming. For
when this is attended to, no large limns need cul
ling. You never should cut a limb thai is more
than an inch in diameter, and then you need nO
plaster to cover the wound. In healthy Irees lhe
cut will be closed up within two years, and there
is no danger of rot.
But you may say you have now an orc?iaid
that has hern neglected, nnd you mut prune
thoroughly in order to make il bear. No. Lei
the h'rge limbs alone; you never help a neglected
tree by cutting large limbs. Thin out the smaller
shoots, and let the old limbs alone. By cutting
you run the risk ol producing more rotten wood
than fruit.
When you trim a tree, take care and not wound
the limbs that you stand on and let no man climb
up a tree with heavy boots or shoes. I la will do
more mischief with the nails in hie boots, than ser
vice in thinning th branches. Thin shoe or
slippers may be used 011 climbing a tree, either to
I rim or to gather fruit. 31ass. J'onghiuait,
