Written for the Patriot. THE FALLACY OF HOPE. Hope, on thought's light pinion, lov-51 to fly to the haven in -which oar brightest anticipation are anchored ; yet maDy a time, and oft when we trusted its fond de Imions most, have we found ourselves wrecked on the strands of despair. 'Tis natural for us to picture the fancy wrought scones of the shaded future. True, we may for a while brood o'er u memory's buried flowers," but soon the past ia hurled into Oblivion's gulf, and the bright and cheering anticipations of the unattained future hold empire over our thoughts. Yet, oh I how very soon its promised pleasures prove a mockery, and we are doomed to seo The hopes thai rose in smiles to-day Sink in tears to morrow." AIUUI IflVll UMbteftM u .. expectations of a brilliant career and of being crowned with the laureled wreaths of distinction ; yet should these hopes bo realized, there would still be something wanting to mako them blest. When borne upon the tide of conquest won, higher aims animate tho soul, and ambition prefses its victim on still on ! ren the crowned monarch of a subjugated world, after he has touched " the highest point of all his greatness" and reached "the full meridian of all hia glory," still is tormented with a with for something more. But every object, however ardently and passionately 6ought, becomes less pleasing when attained. Hope is a passing fabric founded upon the delusive lalacies of the imagination, which will crumble at the first touch of adversity. Manny, many, indeed, of the richest eems of happiness exist only in our bright . . - , . i imugiuiug-, iui iu u.v,u.n brth to irrasp them as our own, an incr . ill. a K n a I AiMtini n rr dental blast scatters them, thus depriving USotthe realization of our flowery aotici- palions. Although tho heart u anappotnieu iu many of it8 wishes, yet it will never cease a : r i MUa nnfi tho n.r. areamiogui itvuvicu - , life pulse shall cease to throb, for though j the clasp of care may ravish every bud, i rt kinnm fpfm FTone'u rich garland, still MUU U Wii aw - (j will thedoceittol syren again intrude into tho mind, aud by its soft whisperings, lull eriel'sdark wavelets to rest anu uiu us um a , , to morrow's happiness with rainoow nues as purely bright as ever adorned the sum mer sky. Tho fairy flower of content may uniold and broatho its spicy inconse on the air, but it is crushed ere it reaches its zenith by a storm that rushes past. Yet, should wo re linqui.h iJl of oar golden dreams of the iuture because one is unfulfilled ? Nay, though they be as frail as the transient gems of earth, atill with a voico of promise they come and go ; as soon as one hope is blighted, another one ialla upon the heart. The shadow from the wing of the death angel is. sometimes upon the hearth stone, yet, should we despond and grow weary of life because one trial has entered the bouse- bold? ,, . . ... Nav verily, but we should look up with hopeful eyes, uttering from the heart, thy will be done." Uncertainty and delusion may bewilder ua on every side, and when we are engaged in high and noble pursu.ts, all our fond hopes may be blasted, and happy expectations overshadowed with dis appointment ; bat behind this dark, gloomy Bbadow is tho clear Buubuiu. Then look on the sunny side, and happi ness will come like aray of sun-light, d.s- n:r.nnr.a(iive p-loom and illumining pci 1 1 wr r our pathway to prosperity. A shadow of sadness sometimes nestles in tho heart when we picture the future, then - hope on, hope aver" should be in- delibly stamped opon our hearts. It should be our motto to keep us from despondency. Perchance, the ruffled current of opposb tion may ferce as down the stream of dis. appointment until we are almost constrain ed to believe that our pathos no longer cheered by the faintest twinkle of the bUas ed Star of Hope ; bat soon it appears, chas ing away the light gossamer clouds of sor row that momentarily dimmed our sunny prospects. We very often sacrifice present ease for the hopr of distant pleasure! and let the blessings of life glide by unheeded, in ma king preparations to enjoy those we fancy await as in the " roseato bowere" of com. ing days. Well hath the poet oompared the idle chase of Hope to one purtuing a butterfly, which leads them on from flower to flower, then loses its charm by being caught. For Try touch that wooed its stay Hath brushed its brightest hues away, Till charm and hue and beauty gone 'Tis left to fly or fall alone. Can it with wounded pinion soar From rose to tulip as before t Or, beauty blighted in an hour" Find joy within its broken bower ? No : gayer insects fluttering by Ne'er droop the wing o'er those that die." ,. v HELEN. Salisbury, N. C. For the Patriot.

It should be generally known that the com mon broom corn, wbica is a species oi millet, it planted near tbe Sugar Millet readily mixes with it, and if the seed thus obtained is planted, it produces a new variety, greatly resembling broom corn, but taller and larger. This variety in usually called the red sort, and 1 almost worthless for syrup. The tact as to the mixture and the pro duction of this inferior adulterated variety, I know from repeated personal observation to be true. It is thereore important that geuuinc seed should be selected for planting, and that broom corn should not bo planted any where near the Sugar Millet. If all the newspapers were to call public attention to this subject, they would do good service te a valuable interest. Cor. Hiltsboro' Recorder. The warehouse of Mr. R. L.

Thine is the power, To bless in every land and hour ; Then hear my heart's deep bursting prayer, And shield the precious prisoners there. When the days grow bleak and cold, A mantle of mercy round them fold ; Let their hearts be warm and cheery. On Johnson's Island in Lake Erie. 'Mong those " heroes in the strife," For Southern land and Southern life, Onetlarling heart alone Throbs with the blood that stirs my own; Yet for all I bend my knee In fervent prayer oh ! God to Thee ; Keep their lives from being weary On Johnson s Island in Lake Erie. A sacred cause they have espoused. The best that a in them is aroused ; Deeply their noble souls revere Thee, oh ! God, and country dear; Then let them live to see at last The victory won, the struggle pat Bring them through their bondage dreary. On Johnson's Island in Lake F.rie. A thousand hopes are to them bound. A thousand hearts they cluster round ; Affection drops for them a tear, And for their safety stands in fear. Oh ! free them from the captor's hand, And let us greet in Southern land The prisoners, with a welcome merry, From Johnson's Island in Lako Erie. Fahnib B. FOR EVERY ONE THAT ASKETH BECEIV- ETH. O, ask not wealth ; The gaudy bauble glitters to deceive ; It hath a thorn to press thee when asleep ; It maketh wings, and leaveth thee to weep : Ask not what wealth can give. O, ask not fame ; The empty bubble breaks at every gale; Its mighty shadows utalk in midnight gloom ; It kills his hero, and then haunts hia tomb, Where all his triumphs tail. O, ask not love ; "The fond heart's idol breaketh the fond heart ; His Bmile if oft deceitful, and is power Teo oft is felt in sorrow's darkest hour , Ask not hia treacherous dart. 0, aek not life ; "Not even life itself makes good the name" How oft its vtctim craves the boon of death. When guilt or sorrow yearn to yield the breath Ask not the fitful tiamc. Ask for a quiet mind ; A heart at rest from nil the jars of strife : An humble heart, that never soars to fall; A heart to bless the Hand that gives it all, That priceless gift of life. Ask for a fount of tears ; The heart to sympathize in oth-rs woe. j The soul to teel for all the aorrowing here, And power to point them to a better sphere, ) Where tears can never flow. Ask for a broken heart, A gritf for all the ills thy hand has done ; I A pang for wafed life, tor useless breath ; I A hope that triumphs o'er the fear of death. Ask, and the goal is won.
