I. turned to wcxrheri, for. their e3Tcs were purer, their brows calmer, than those of men ; and, inithe hidden paths they trod, they learned such lessons of patience, and silent resignation, and forbearing tenderness, that perchance their natures had been punned and jf j ethcrialized-by the ordeal, and made ' ' I capable of that love which haunted me like the perfume of a wild violet, which itself cannot be seen. - And I. found, indeed, that there were women, who Kitd'this highjdeal of love implanted in their souls, but .they would not prove true to it., Tbey, were not strong and brave enough to keep their hearts, like the crystal vase of a tem ple, consecrated totjie wine of heaven alone. They took. "Passion's hot hand, regardless of the pleading in Love's sweet eyes.

It was not doae-paioatly, but -with reverent tendernessir-with something of the feeling with which tbe kneeling Mary kissed her Saviour's feet. Afterwards, 1 came to know the la- dv, and in a little while we grew to be friends. She had nothing beautiful about her except her soul which, shining sometimes through her pale eves," gave there a beauty independent of colouring or shape, i questioned her about the boy not in suoh 'way as to betray his secret rand tound that she knew little about him. She had met him ibccasionally in her chari table visits among the poor. Several times she h,ad seen him at his mother's house, when shelad been ill so . long, and she hafl sometimes spoken to him. That was all she remembered "She loved , flowerswild i flowers that owed not their blossoming to the care of man -vwild roses, and convol vulus, sweet azaleas, and the golden jessamine, whose- hue was a shade or two darker than her moonlight-colour ed hair.

Bead the his tory of civil war in Kansas, aud say whether 3011 can look with ;desircon such a future. But thev saviwe will not suffer alone"'; thd other side will surfer as much as we. Grant it. Does that make our pssition any more desir able ? Not one whit ; and this is but a tame picture of what Disunion will produce on our border. And when this all comes, where will yoiu Disunion leaders be ? All of them at a safe and healtbv distance from the scene of tur moil and conflict which they nnviSrrn-" volved us in. They will have no fears for the contest. Though it costs the last cent in our purses, and the last tirop of blood in our veins, they know it will be given, and given freely if they cau only manage "to precipitate revolution Thet know that with the strong arms, stalwart frames, and brave hearts of the border between them and a northern confederacy, they have nothing to fear. They know that there the fight will begin, there . the fight will continue, and there theffight will end, although thereby that border will be prostrate in every interest that en hances, prosperity, or aids the progress and happiness of a people. We write these things with a sol emn conviction of the dangers and difficulties into which these Disunion 1 leaders hurrv us, and we 'earnestly beg our leaders to ponder them ini all seriousness What the President can do. The Washington Star argues that the law dogs not authorize the govern ment at Washington to take any offi cial cognizance of , any thing whatever the Southern States, may do in the way bf preparation .to be ready for ccession from the U nion in a body on the :4th of March next. President Buchanan can only lawfully act in case .of the infraction of some law by some parties or State in the South. lie cannot lawfully move a hnger to prevent the calling of secession con- - . . . rt. a . ventions m the boutbern fetates ; nor, again, to prevent the election I of au overwhelming majority of secessionists to those conventions.- Nor can he in any Way interfere with the people of the cotton States in thleir subsequent act of ratifying at tli polls whatever those conventions may determine on against the continuance of the confed eracy. Thus, it is surely competent for the .cotton States to be fully pre pared kset up . a government' of their own. whollv independent of and dis connected" with the government of the United States,-on the 4th of March next, without having so violated a fed pral law in the meanwhile, as that ,.'t y . !'
