SIT
DOWN, SAD SOUL-
BY TENNYSON.
Sit down, sad soul, and count
The moments flying:
Como tell the sweet amount
That's lost by sighing!
How many smilcsf a score!
Then laugh, and count no more;
For day is dying!
Lie down, sad soul, and sleep,
And no more measure
The flight of Time, nor weep
The lobs oi leisure; .
Cut here, by this lone stream,
tie down with us, and dream
Of starry treasure!
We dream; do thou the same;
We love for ever;
We laugh; yet few we shame,
The gentle never.
Stay, then, till 6orrow dies;
Then hope and happy skies
Are thine forevei!

From the New York Day Book,
THE FIRST BABY.
In a new novel, 'The Glenns,' recently
published, occurs the following striking
picture of domestic felicity, which crusty
bachelors will read with great interest;
"If 'the baby' was asleep, no one was
allowed to speak except in a whimper, on
pain of instant banishment; the piano was
closed, the guitar was taboed, boots were
interdicted, and the bell was muffled. If
Mr. Vincent wishes to enjoy a quiet cigar,
he must go out of the house, lest the
smoke might hurt 'the baby' and, lest the
street door might disturb its slumbers, he
must make his exit by the back way, and
reach the street bv the Harden gate. The
Doctor was scarcely ever out of the house;
not because 'the baby' was ill for indeed
it was most alarmingly healthy but be
cause she was 'afraid it might be taken
with some dreadful disease, and no doc
lor near.' If coal was to be placed in the
rate. either Mr. Vincent must nut it in
v
lump by lump with his fingers, or 'Thom
as' must come in on tiptoe, leaving his
boots below, lest the noise should disturb
'the baby.' Mr. Vincent might lie in one
posture until he was full of aches from
the crown of his head to the sole of his
foot, he must not move or turn over for
fear of waking 'the baby ' And yet he
must not take a bed in another part of the
house, because 'the baby might be attack
ed with lhe croup, or might cry to have
some one walk up and down the floor
'ilh it in his arms, and then he would not
be within call. In short when Hbe Baby
spt the whole house was under a spell,
whose enchantment consisted in profound
silence and unbroken stillness, and all who
came within the magic circle were at once
hid under its influence.
On the other hand, when 'the baby'
was awake the household was equally
subject to the tyranny which seemed to
he a condition of its existence. If Mr.
Vincent's watch-chain attracted its atten
tion, the -watch must come from the pock-
dealer, has determined to wear it for the
remainder of her days at least of maidenhood.
Ji Green Hose. We recently noticed
the production of a blue rose at Paris by
artificial crossings. The Raleigh (NC.)
Register, in copying our notice, says:
"We can add to this the green rose of
North Carolina, which, although not the
creature of science, is sufficiently well
known in parts of this state to claim a
rank among the above floral novelties.
The rose is identical with our common
daily, except in color, the variation in
which is supposed to have been produced
by the accidental intermingling of the
roots of the rose tree with those of the
common sumach. The peculiarities of
the new variety arc perpetuated bv cut
tings or otherwise. It is quite common
in the county of Bladen and some few
specimens exist in the town of Fayette-
Horse frighted to Death by an El
ephant. A very remarkable case of the
effects of fright upon a horse occurred in
franklin a short time since. A horse be
longing to Mr. Joseph Palmer, was graz
ing in the yard near the fence, when the
elephants belonging to the menagerie re
cently in this city, were passing along.
The horse did not observe them till they
were quite close to him, when, looking
up and seeing the huge animals, he started
back in a fright, ran to the opposite side
of the yard, stood for a moment quiver
ing, and then dropped dead. He was lit
erally frightened to death.

Mysterious Discovery. Under this
head, the N. York city papers have noti
ces of the discovery of about 20 human
period of the world, have three millions
of the African race been so comfortable,
so happy, and so civilized in their condi
tion, as the slaves of the United States.
Instead of being wild savages they become
Christians, and the incipients of Chiistian
instruction.
Instead of being regarded as an evil
and a curse to our country, slavery is
now looked upon by the southern people!
as a blessing a blessing on which de
pends the continuance of our prosperity
and happiness as a nation. But for slave
ry, the world could not be supplied with
cotton, the great lever of civilization and
wealth. But for slavery, neither rice nor
sugar could be cultivated to any great ex
tent in the southern states. And but for
slave labor, the whole South would sink
into poverty, and the commercial and man
ufacturing prosperity of the North be ut
terly annihilated. This is now known
and admitted. Not so fifty years 8go.
Slaverv is more secure, and this secu-
rity more felt than it ever was before by
skeletons found buried under an old house
at No. 9, Mott street, closely huddled to- tlie southern people. In the erly histo

there many years. The building under
which they were discovered, and which
has just been removed to make way for a
new one, was, it is stated, one of the most
lashionable houses of disrepute in the
city, many years ago; and the inference
is, that these human remains were depos
ited there at that time. The skeletons
have been removed to the station house,
and efforts are making under considerable
that both Utah and New Mexico are north
of the Missouri Compromise.
The Federal Executive, too, has shown 4 ,
every disposition to put down abolition
and enforce the laws. In order to accom
plish this more effectually he called on
Congress for additional powers, which ,
were refused by Southern men. He and .
his cabinet have lately visited the hot bed ,
of abolition, in Western New York, and,
expressed in strong terms, their devotion
to the Constitution, their adherence to the .
provisions of the Compromise, and , their ,
opposition to the spirit of abolitionism
and freesoilism.

the Legislature made it the duty of every
white man to carry his gun to church.
Who now thinks of bavins a nun at all
for any such purpose? Such an appre
hension would be laughed at as ridiculous.
Why is it, then, that reasonable men
will permit themselves to be so frightened
by imaginary anticipations of danger
from the North and the Federal Govern
ment? 4t is not in the power of the North
The Negro. The Philadelphia Penn
sylvanian states that a highly important
book is now in the press, and will short

well-known and intelligent gentleman in
that city. It i3 devoted to an examina
tion of the subject, whether the colored
race can be made the mental, political,
and social equals of the whites;and is call

views entertained by the writer that there
can be no such equality, Wr. Campbell
presents an array of arguments and au

southern people. Men now living a
mongst us, may well remember the time
when slavery was spoken of by our own
people as a thing unjust of itself and a
curse to the country. It was believed,
loo, that the day would come when slave
ry would be abolished by the states.
Many of the southern states were looking
to that event less than fifty years ago!
Mr. Jefferson himself suggested it! The
Legislature of Virginia, Maryland and
Kentucky, gravely discussed th matter!
But a different feeling has sprung up,
and a different conviction . has come over
the minds of the southern people. They
sie now satisfied that slavery is just in
the sight of God and in accordance with
the principles of our holy religion. They
know it to be a benefit to the slave him

Mr. Calhoun announced in his speech at
Charleston, after the declaration of war a
gainst Mexico, that a very large majority
of the northern people were not disposed
to interfere with our rights. This has
since been shown to be true by the pub
lic meetings at the North, by the action
ofthe leading men at the North, by the
abandonment of the Wilmot v Proviso in
Congress, by the passage of the fugitive
slave law and the enforcement of it in Bos
ton, New York and Philadelphia, and in
other northern cities, and by the express
stipulation that Utah and New Mexico
shall come in the Union as states with or
without slaver7, as the people may ..de
termine. It must be, remembered, too.
