And it needs no prophet to read the word—
The King has flown from his palace ball,
And there the mob is heard !
Thev shout in the heat of their maddened glee
(What sound can compare with a nation's cry
When it leap. from bondage to liberty ?)
The voice sweeps on like ahtirricane's breath,
And the wondering world hears what it saith,
44 France, France is free f"
The rough-shod foot of the people tramps
Through the silken rooms of royalty.
And over the floor the mirrors and lamps
Lie like the shattered monarchy!
They have grasped the throne in their irony,
And have borne it aloft in mockery;
But as if the ghost of a king might be
Still yielding a shadowy sceptre there,
They dash it to earth, and trample it down,
Shivered to dust, with the Orleans crown,
And shout with a voice that rends the air,
“ France, France is free
Oh, ioy to the world! the hour is come,
When the nations to freedom awake,
When the royalists stand agape and dumb,
And monarch, with terror shake!

And the eyes of the bondmen, wherever they be,
Are lit with their wild desire.
Soon, soon shall the thrones that blot the world,
Like the Orleans, into the dust be hurled.
And the word roll on, like a hurricane's breath,
Till the fartherest slave hears what it saith,

THE ATHEIST.
The A thr ift in his garden stood,
‘ At twilight's jtensive hour,’
His little daughter bv his side,
Was gazing on a flower.
* 0,pick that blossom, Pa, for me,’
The little prattler said,
• It is the fairest one that blooms
Within that lowly bed.’
The father plucked the chosen flower,
And gave it to his child ;
With parted lips, and sparkling eye,
She seized the gift, and smiled.
O, Pa—who made this pretty flower,
This little violet blue;
Who rave it such a fragrant smell,
And such a lovely hue!
A change came o’er the farther’s brow,
His eye grew strangely wild,
New thoughts within him had been stirred,
By that sweet, artless child.
The truth flashed on\he fataer's mind,
The truth—in all its power:
There is a God my child, he said,

A Carolina Yarn.
One of the brilliant corps of corres
pondents attached to that eminently read
able paper, the N. Y. Spirit of the Times,
contributes the following anecdote :
We heard a good story of an old North
Carolinian, who was, beside Magistrate,
Sheriff and Wreckmaster, the proprietor
ofa country store. Like all such stores
it was the rendezvous of all the loafers
in the village. These fellows used to
be there every night, and often all night
playing poker, generally, with Old Bil
ly’s clerk, and besides drinking the old
man’s liquor, spent his money, furnish
ed by the confidential clerk. Old Billy
suspected what was going on, and came
down on them suddenly one night, and
before they could hide themselves, got
in the room. “ Nemiah,” got “jesse”
but was forgiven, promising to “ sin no
more.”
“ Nemiah,” said Billy, “ never let a
soul in again alter eight o’clock.” Ne
miah promised obedience. The next
night the crowd were at work as usual,
and Billy thought he would go and see
how matters went on. Accordingly,
down he went and knocked at the door.
“ Who’s there?” cried Nemiah.
“ It’s me, Mr. ; open the door!”
*• No d—n your head, (a favorite, oath)
Billy told me never to let any one in
after eight o’clock, and I ain’t a going to
do it.”
“ But Nemiah, it’s me, open the door
one moment.”
“ No, d—n your head, none of your
gammon ; you sound mighlly like him
but it won’t go down, so tra-ccl, or dod
rot your head if 1 don’t give you a shot
with Unsold blunderbuss,you humbug!”
Billy wailed to hear no more, but
started off like the wind, confident that
Nemiah was a reformed man, and the
next day doubled hit

Ulnkins Auger-holes with a tiinilct.
44 My boy, what are you doing with
that gimlet? ” said I, to a flaxen urchin,
who was laboring away with all his
might at a piece of board before him.
44 Try ing to make an auger-hole,” was
the reply, without raising his eyes.
Precisely the business of at least two
thirds of the world—this making auger-
holes with a gimlet.
Here is young A, who has just escap
ed from a clerk’s desk behind the coun
ter. He sports his mustaches, his im
perials, carries a rattan, driuks cham-
paigne, talks big about the profits of
banking and shaving notes.—He thinks
he is really a great man—but everybody
around him seeslhat he is making auger-
holes with a gimlet
Mr. B. may be put down as a distin
guished professor of the gimlet. He
was a farmer. His father left him a
fine farm, free from incumbrance—but
be wouldn’t be content. Speculation
in corn and flour arose before him—for
tunes were made in a twinkling;—so
he sold out—bought largely—dreamed
of the riches of Astor and Rothschild—
no more work. But at last the bubble
burst. The Irish wouldn’t stay starved
—prices fell, and now Mr. B. has found
out that it is difficult to make auger-holes
with a gimlet.
Miss C. is a nice, pretty girl, and
might be very useful, too for she has in
telligence—but she must be the ton—
goes to plays, lounges on sofas, keeps
her bed till noon, imagines that she is a
belle, disdains to labor, forgets, or tries
to, that her father was a mechanic—and
for what ? Why, she is trying to work
herself into the belief, that an auger-
hole can be made with a gimlet.

At the time Gen. Green retreated before
Lord Rawdnn from Ninety-six, when he
had passed Broad River, he was very
desirous to send an order to Gen. Sum
ter, who wts on the Waterce, to join
him, that they might attack Rawdon,
who had divided his force. But the
General could find no man in that part
of the State who was bold enough to
undertake so dangerous a mission* The
country to be passod through was for
many miles full of bloodthirsty lories,
who on every occasion that offered, im
bued their hands In the blood of the
whig*. At lenat'h Emily €?e
ted herself to Gen. Green, and proposed
to act as his messenger; and the General,
both surprised and delighted,closed with
her proposal. He accordingly wrote a
letter and delivered it, and at the same
the aid and advantages of the modern
journal.
There are numberless ways in which
e man of business fs benefitted by
en the glance of his paper which he
takes in the morning, which we need
it repeat. The advertisements may

uable thought. The news department
may intimate to him the direction which
efforts should take, or the record of
some stirring and sterling example of
mercantile life may rouse him to those'
endeavors which will'(conduct to tri-
nphant success.
The expense of tfTjirjf-spaper* it is
true, is something, but U* probable ex-

Gen. Taylor’s late letters have ut
terly confounded the Democracy, who
one time had hoped to have made
pital out of his name and influence.
Among other signs of the times, Hon.
II. A. Mulenberg, of Pennsylvania,
just peblishcd a letter declining to
act longer as a member-of the Taylor
Central Committee of that State. In
this letter he says:—
Reading, March 2, 1848.
Sir:—I perceive by the papers that
the late Taylor Convention, assembled
at Harrisburg, has appointed me a
member of the State Central Committee.
peel fully beg leave to decline the
appointment, and request you to have
my name withdrawn.
As long as the Taylor movement was
Democratic one—as long as I believed
the General to be a Democrat—I was his
andid and sincere supporter. The
course that I advocated at all times
,, that if he were a Democrat, it was
the policy of the democratic party
akc him its leader, as they had
done with General Jackson. The cor
rectness of his principles was, however,
an indispensable prerequisite.
The letters which hare ajipeared since

To say. more of Arago than what 1
remarked ip one of tny last letters would
be superfluous. His reputation as a
man of science is world-wide. As a
politician be always (maintained bis lib
eral opinions with the -greatest ability
and fearlessness. No man is more in
dependent ol cliques and factions. Frau-
coisfc^rago was never a slave to anything
mortal but once ; and then he was made
by stress of circumstances. Having

The great acts of the Government,
thus far, have been the inceptive procla
mation of the abolition of slavery in the
French Colonies, the passage of the gen
eral Electoral law for the Con:
al Assembly, and the institution of an
organized department of the Govern
ment, having for its object the eineliora-
tion of labor. Louis Blanc has been
placed at the bead of the fatter, and as
sisted by Arago, has-for- several days
presided at the Luxembourg,over a body
of two hundred Delegates, despatched
by the workmen of every calling to pre
sent and discuss their grievances. The
deliberations are conducted with much
dignity and ability. There is no doubt
than he present system of labor i n F ranee
admits of and calls for extensiv^ainend-
ment ; yet the subject is surrounded
with the most formidable difficulties. I
should have been glad to sec the task
committed to a sounder head and saler
hands than Louis Blanc has the reputa-
tation of possessing. I know of nothing
that so seriously menaces the welfare
of the young Republic as this question
of the reorganization of industry. I shall
probably revert to ibis subject hereafter.
