t Q WS I Q A It ' . From the Richmond Enquirer NATIONAL ODE. BY CHAS. D. rOX. All hail to Columbia the "Gem of the sea P The envied of nations the home of the free; All hnil to onr fathers, that patriot band Who wrested our country from tyranny's hand; Whostruggled thro' hardships scarce equal' d before . i i Jl i Till freedom was planted upon our loved shore; O then with their memory drive sadness away, And let us be grateful and happy to-day. To-day we enjoy the rich boon which they gave. And Heaven hath blessed the sweet land of the brave. Our country now basks in prosperity's sun, And the patriot warrior's nd trials are done; O then let us mingle onr voices in glee. And sing of Columbia, the home of the free ! While memory bring! back the glorious day, When our fathers they won it from tyranny's sway. Columbia, Columbia, how sweet is thy name ! How sarred thy story! how cherished thy fame! How halkmed each spot that our forefathers trod ! Each scene where for freedom they poured out their blood. O God of our fathers, thy blessing command, To rest evermore on our dear native land ! O drive from our bosoms all Badness away, And make us all grateful and happy to-day. May truth and integrity mark our carear, And national honor be ever held dear ! May wisdom and prudence our statesmen direct; And peace and good feeling our Union protect ! O then we'll ascribe all the glorj to thee, Great God, who hath made us so happy and free! Come sons of Colombia drive sadness away, And let us be grateful and happy to-day. LETTER OP A DYING WIFE. The following most touching fragment letter from a dying wife to her hue band the Nashville Gazette) was found by him, months after her death, between the leaves of a (says some of a religions volume which she was very fond of perusing. The letter, which was litte rally dim with tear-marks, was written long before her husband was aware that the grasp of fatal dis ease had fastened upon the lovely form of his wife, who died at the early age of nineteen : "When this shall reach your eye, dear George, some day, when you are turning over the relies of the past, I shall have passed away forever, and the cold, white stone will be keeping its lonely watch over the lips you have so often pressed, and the sod will be growing green that bhall hide forever from your sight the dust of one who has often nestled close to your warm heart. For many long and sleepless nights, when all besides mv thoughts were at rest, I nave wrestled with the consciousness of approaching death, until at last it has formed itself upon mv mind ; and although to you and to others it nuAht now seem but the nervous imagining of a girl, v t. dear George, it is so ! Many weary nights have I passed in the endeavor to reconcile myself to leav ing you, whom 1 love so well, and this bright world of sunshine and beauty ; and hard indeed it is to struggle on silently and alone, with the sure con viction that I am about to leave all forever and go down into the dark valley ! "Bat I know in whom I have believed" and, leaning on His arm, '1 fear no evil.' l)o not blame me for keeping even ail this from you. How eouid 1 subject you, of all others, to such sorrow as 1 feel at parting, when time will soon make it appelant to you ! J could have wish ed to live, if only to be at your side when your time shall come, and. pillowing your head upon my breast, wine the death-damp- from your brow, and usher your departing spirit into its Maker's pres ence, embalmed in woman's holiest prayer. lut it is not to be and 1 submit, i ours is the privil ege of watching, through long and dreary nights, for the spirit's final flight, and of transferring tij sinkimr head from your breast to mv Saviour's bosom ! And you shall share my last thought and the last faint pressure of the hand, and the last feeble kiss shall be yours, and even when flesh and heart shall have failed me, mv eyes shall rest on yours until glazed by death : and our spirits shall hold one last communion until, gently fading from mv view the last of earth you shall mingle with the first bright glimpses of the unfading glories of the better world, where partings are unknown. Well do 1 know the spot, my dear George, where you will lay me ; often we stood by the place, and, as we watched the mellow sunset, as it glanced in quivering flashes through the leaves, and burnished the grassy mounds around us with stripes of burn ished gold, each, perhaps, has thought of the time when we shall be called to .sleep beneath its silent covering, till the morning of eternal bliss and joy shall bid us rise to greet the sun that knows no set ting, and where there is no parting. SABBATH DESECRATION. "Remember the SabbafA Jay, to keep it ITly." "Why will ye desecrate the Sabbath? Why not receive it as it was given to the woild a day of rest ? Rest, not only for the physieal but also for the mental man ; a day when the mind should be relieved from tlie active and pressing cares of bu siness, and turn in contemplation of those bright and hallowed associations which invite the careworn soul into the sanctuary to commune with its maker, God. Why plod along wearily through this world, giving all the hours of life to the pursuit of the things that perish, and not one moment to the more important realities cf the everlasting futurj ? Do we ever expect to die ? Do we believe in the judgment to come? Then why run the gauntlet of danger and despair, by forgetting, in our haste to grow rich and enjoy the pleasure of the world, that judgment will surely come unto us ; and that we cannot blot out the record of tmr crimes and our follies from the great book of life that will be opened to our confusion and shame on that day? What do we live for ? Is it to make money, seek pleasure, gratify self, and enjoy the good things of earth, merely ? Is there no duty else to be per formed ? Is there no (.Jod to worship, no Saviour to adore ? Bid he give unto the children of men no law, no commandments by which to live, and in the fear of which to die ? Hid he not command us to keep holy the Sabbath day ? Does he not tell us that six days are enough in which to pros trate our energies by labor and toil, and that the seventh day has been hallowed and made sacred by God himself, and therefore should not be dese crated by worldly employments ? We know he did. Then why openly defy that law. and profane the sacred day of rest which God has set up as a day wherein to commune with and worship him ? Header, do you disregard the sanctity of the -Sabbath ? Remember that you are a responsible be ing, and that you will not be held guiltless at the day fcf reckon tag, foryour despoihiig the giver of all good of hfs day of rest, and uour day cf medi tation and thanks giving. The man who tried to whifdle alar of soap has How Won en Have the Best of Every thing. A bachelor gentleman, of New York, incensed at the talk concerning the "rights" that women have not, and the persecution that they en dure, pours out his vexation at great length in the Home Journal; Hear him : 'Don't talk to me about the best of everything i The ladies have all the pick and choice. Then, I asain, at all public places of amusement, witness r. futiwn thr. trpntlenien onen encounter, o usi .1....... f observe a party of ladies and gent emen going into - .1.. .,r,. thn hdiPK nil muiTi into 1 1 If best seats, without being invited ; the gentlemen timidlv stand back, and are pushed into a corner, where they ean see nothing, except by standing up, j and leaning over, at the expense of a crooked neck j the next morning, or a weariness of limbs which a night's rest is not sufficient to remove, whilst the ladies sleep in the lap of forgetfulness, and at break fast are as fresh a? a pack of hounds on a summer morning. Yeh. The picture of Teh, as drawn by the correspondents of the London paper, is enough to delight the heart of a modern hlood-and-thundcr romance writer. The Governor of Canton com pletely throw- into the shade the ordinary scoun drel heroes of the "yellow covers." Seventy thou sand people have been sent to the Scaffold by this merciful ruler, and yet, when the English cox swain grabbed him by the queue and put a tempo rary end to his exploits, his bowels of compassion were not entirely exhausted. He dwelt with great unction on the wholesale extermination he had ac complished; but. like other men of similar propen sities, showed an extraordinary repugnance to be coming himself a victim. It i- much to be regret ted that the British Admiral, whose countrymen had, on various occcasions, been slaughtered by the Mandarin, did not feel himself at liberty to exalt Yeh to the yard arm. Harnum might make a good thing of it," if he could cage Yeh and Nena Sahib, and show them about Europe. When to Take YOi it Il.y. Young men, a word. We want, to tell you when you should take your hat and u2 off. And mind what we offer. It is When you are asked to take a drink. When "you find out you are courting a slovenly and extravagant girl. When you find youself in doubtful company. When you discover that your expenses run ahead of your income. When you are abusing the confidence of your friends. When you think you are a creat deal wiser than older and more experienced persons. When you feel like getting trusted for a new suit of clothes and haven't the money to pay for them. When you dont perform your duty, your whole duty, and nothing but your duty. The man who was "filled with emotion" hadn't room for his dinner. 11. M. PBITCIIAR1), M.
