The infant in the nurses’ arms, ’lire you have thought to teach it A, ’ Is shown it that vvheu you coinmanil, Its proper sphere ia to oTbey, Learns with indulgence of yours, To make its every action pay. The youth who’s thinking of a mate, Front whom, thro’ life he would not stay, If yon will only watch his acts, And disregard what he may say— Is looking for a secret which tVill teach him how to make it pay. So cunning are the acts he’ll use, That Cupid yields to Mammon’s sway; And should he search for it ngain, Ilis labor surely would not pay ; The ladies, as they pass along, In size just like a stack of hay— And whose commanding presence shows, That all concerned must clear the way— Expect in following up the mode, To make it largely , widely pay. The minister who groans and sighs, While telling of the narrow way, And all the terrors that await Poor sinners at the judgment day— Intends, as much as you or I, In fame or cash to make it pay. The Editor, whose weighty cares Consumes two hours every day, Who pleads so piteously that we, Would help hint in his toilsome way— Knows that his pleasant business will, (If be can gull his readers j pay. The doctor, with a single dose, Can make a man his life-time pay ; And as his knowledge teaches him Quickly hotv to maim and slay— lie warps his conscieuce when he sees, A proper chance to make it pay. The lawyer with his legal lore, Hi3 cxiant’s rights will so portray That, right or wrong, they may, who hear, Cannot his arguments gainsay ; That black is white, or day is night, He’d prove, if he could make it pay.

The politician who has found A shorter and a better way, To steer the ship of state into The waters of the wislied-for bay’s, Will change his course for selfish ends, Provided he can make it pay. The merchant, witlr no goods on hand, Expects anew supply to-day, By every recent mail lie believes, That they are sw'iftly on the way ; In this, and other things, perhaps, We guess he lies, but makes it pa y. The Legislature who is called, To furnish laws that we obey, Will swap liis patriotic vote, (So I have heard some persons say,) But does uot think that people see, He is influenced by the pay. The poet by liis idle songs, Ilis lack of judgement does betray, Each whim that he can put in rhyme, Is hurried to the press straightway—■ With all liis inconsiderate acts, E’en he would gladly make it pay. Euharlce, Ga., J. C. C. B. From Selma Times. THE L.OST CAUSE, TO THE CONFEDERATE DEAD WHEREVER THEY MAY REST. BY S. K. PHILLIPPS. I Oh sacred Cause ! Cause to our hearts most dear, An humble son ’tween pain, and hope, and fear, Comes with his simple gift of song to throw, Around your broken form the earnest glow, Os rev’rent love and pride ; for your short life, Tho’ written o’er with the red lines of strife, In regal splendor far transcends the tales, Os aught we hear that trembles on the gales Os crumbled centuries; each sentence there, Stands out in bold relief amidst the glare, Os more than Spartan glory and renown, And claims for you the amaranthine crown. 11. Thrown into life amidst contending thought, Born where the Right was cheaply sold and bought. By the long purse of Wrong, or rudely spurn’d By the strong arm of Might, you early learned To on your own heroic self rely, And work by faith your noble destiny; For you posess’d e’en in your infant hours, Some presage of those mighty after powers, Whose exercise should make the citadel Os Wrong, and from her leprous soul dispel The vulgar courage that had center’d there, And give instead a foretaste of despair. 111. Thus born beneath the very dome where Might, In other years upheld alone the Right, With proud faith which ever made her strong, To shiver with her lance the crest of Wrong ; It, is not strange that yout life should reveal, Those noble purposes which set the seal, Os fadeless glory upon a nation’s name, So that, hevv’er the tide may turn it’s fame Is well secur’d ; there is no shoal or strand, O’er which it shall not safely pass and land, With all its freight, on Fame’s translucent shore, Where endless honors wait it evermore. IV. Baptis’d in blood, we knew for years your form Must stem a purple tide, and breast a storm Whose vengeful thunder-bolts were even then, Forg’d for the contest, all surcharg’d with pain, And desolation, and contempt; but, strong, And full of hope, we cast our eyes along The looming years—read on their op’niug hours, A noble promise of enlarged powers, A grander life—a life whose nerveful beat, Should teach humanity to calmly meet, And over come the dangers and the scorn, Begot by W’rath and of oppression born. V. Thus arm’d with truth —with Virtue close allied. Upheld by souls replete with knightly pride, And garlanded with prayors from saintly lips, What wonder that, e’en the emerald crypts. Os our proud souls, we felt your birth-throes reach, And quicken us, ’till we swore each to each, That life nor death, nor aught of human ties, Should sever us from you—our destinies, While God would grant us but an inch of breath. Should be a solemn marriage— naught but death, Whose frozen fingers stop the oven flow Os human tide, could dim its sacred glow. VI. Upon this solemn union we did ask Coil s benediction. Well we knew the task, Biiieli it asserted and which we upheld Ih serv and the invocation : i! should wield, And rivet upon thought's imperial form A stern, resistless power, which nor storm. Nor sunshine e’er should weaken, it should stand A monument of plighted faith, so grand And white in all its virgin purity. That not a hand could touch it. not an eye Ue*t ou it save in wondrous pride and awe, That man could frame and die for‘such a law. VII. Ilavc' we not kcpt*our oath ? Ask dales and hills— The ocean's billows nnd the murmuring rills : Ask mountain glens, and peaks that upward rise hike dim cathedral spire ’gainst golden skies, The answer comes from dale, and crag, and flood, Yc have been true—your souls have faith ful stood, To all that God or country could have asked ; ■ No love withheld—no hate have over mas’d ; No deed have done to blur its spotless sheen ; None left undone whose shade could come between, To dim its glinting glory—ray on ray Is affluent as on its natal day, VIII. Lost Cause ! Is virtue ever lost ? If so, What is God's purpose in the earth below ? What in the heavens above, the singing spheres Whose wondrous harmony enrapts the cars, Os prophet, priest and king ? what of that love Which bears with us tlio’ from the right we rove, (Itself on virtue based,) whose slightest voice, Makes anguish riven human hearts rejoice— That takes away the paiufulness of sin, Shuts darkness out, send floods of light within, And when our paths are crooked makes them straight Across the flood and to the pearly gate. IX. God’s love is sure—our_LosT Cause no less so, He is its author. Truth and right we know Were its chief corner-stones, and tho’ it lies, In solemn state ’mong fallen dynasties, A corpse within the crowded crypts of Time, The trump of Freedom with a strain sublime, Shall yet its resurrection morning sound ; And Freedom’s sous who walk its sacred ground— Who once upheld it with their stalworth wills, Shall break the pent up silence of its hills— Rush to its sepulchre that blessed day, And with their own hands roll the stone away. Selma, Ala., April 25th, 1809. True To Tire Gray. BY PEARL RIVERS. I cannot listen to your words, The land is long and wide ; Go seek some happy Northern girl To be your loving bride. My brothers they were soldiers— The youngest of three Was slain while fighting by the sido Os gallant Jb’itzliugh Lee. They left hts body on the nc-ia, (Tour side that had won ;) A soldier spurned him with his foot, You might have been the one. My lover was a soldier, He belonged to Gordon’s band ; A sabre pierced his gallant heart, Yours might have been the hand. He reeled and fell, he was not dead, A horseman spurred his steed, And trampled on the dying brain, You may have done the deed. I hold no hatred in my heart, No cold, unrighteous pride ; For many a gallant soldier fought Upon the other side. But still I cannot kiss the hand That smote my country sore, Nor love the foes that trampled down The colors that she bore. Between my heart and yours thero rolls A deep and crimson tide— My brothers’s and my lover’s blood Forbids me be your bride. The girls who loved the boys in gray, The girls to country true, May ne’er in wedlock give their hand To those who wore the blue. STATE ITEMS.
