Our and strung.' old river, Whose bkuadless wealth to Mexio’s tide, Goes running on forever. ’Tis a styuny Home, where the ori'dc swings Amid each le ;fy cover ; Where the morning breaks to the sound of wings. Aud the song-bird woes Us lover, A starry Home, where Southern night Looks )ovc o’er leal anu water , Where walks the moon her path of light, As calipas prophet’s daughter. A happy Rome in the days before Hate cast her fearful omen, And the flowers that gr w by the p< aceful door Wore crushed by the feet of foemen. | A joyous home till spoilers-came, With steel and banner, burning, A ud wrapped our fields and homes in flame, Our altars overturning ; And our noblest sprang to their country’s call, Out-numbering foes defying, And around her stood like a castled wall, And prayed for Her when dying. There left my side a brother, limn. His blue eye softly regal; No knightlicr crcit ere marshalled men, His soul as true as eagle. In his early youth he had kissed the page Where glows the song and story Os the precious names that in by-gone age Have tred the path to glory. I’ve list him tell, with awe and pride. The deed’s of‘•martyr’d Poland How Ivry sa\v King Henry ride ; Os Bayard end of Roland ; Os the princely B>uce, and the Swissland’s Dofiwt, ltis mountain’s fiercely keeping ; Os the stalely Cid ; and our own bright host, Whoss ashes are proudly sleeping- And well I knew, if battle’s pall Ere darkened our savannahs, Os one wor.’d own fair Dixie * call, And dialeneath her banners. . , And he sleeps the sleep of the storied brave My bine-eyed, darling brother. Where the palm and sweet magnolias wave, And then there was —another, Who pressul his warm, rich lips to mine II is gif taring on my finger, Whilst heart leap’d up as clings the vine. 1 co lid not bid him linger, And lie passed like light lo the fi, Id, away Where brave men led the rally : And his bright locks rolled where the fjre most lay. And lie sleeps in “The Valley.’’ They told me Toncc had spread her wing, And the battle shock was over. J saw a gird, bright maiden spring To meet her soldier lover , But thete came for me not a joyous hour With soft Letlien (olein : Even brighost things have the saddest pnweq When hearts and homes are broken. \ Y'es, brijrbest things may round us lie, A paradise revealing , May speak of promise to the eye, Yet break it to the feeling. And my own bright clime,and this sunny strand. The bird-songs, anil the flowers— All whisper to mo of that gallant band, The lost and good of eurs. All honor to our noble dead— Your sleep is purer, bettsr, Than life with tyrants overhead, Sconred with rod and fetter. Tint a little while and we "hope to go To joiu your tanks ftrever, And- rest in the shade of the tiees” that grow Beyond ihe peaceful River. l>aniel AYobxter'w Proph esy. This is an appropriate titne to call to mind Daniel Webster s fa mous prophesy so often quotedd as a warring in year3 past : If those fanatics and abolition ists ever get power into their hands they will overrule the Constitution set the Supreme < ourt at defiance, change and make laws to suit them selves, and finally, they will bank rupt the country and deluge it with blood.

My text i» taken from the Newspaper, which makes its business to know every body’s business ; *• / *‘!s it any body’s business If a gentlemen should choose * To wait upon a lady II that lady dati’l refuse? Or to speak a lit Ig plainer. Tlitrt the meaning all may.know, Is it any body's business If a lady lias a beau ? Tile substance of our query, Simply staled wonid be this : Hit any body’s business What another's business is ? Whether ? ti? or whether ’(isn't, Wa should renlly like to know. For. we’re certain, if it isn’t, Th' re are son e who make it so. - ' I MY HEARERS; I never was in a world wlu-re people make it tlu-ir business to meddle with busi ness that is none of their businaa-s os they do in this, aud yet, are everlastingly com plaining that they havn’t enough busiue.-s to attend to, Perhaps you may say this is uouc of brother Dow's bus'll cs. I mora than halt think so myself- nevertheless, I shall lake ’he responsibility for this ouce, of meddling with the meddlers. Now, my brethren, there is nothing that can create nervous excitement in a small village, upon a diminutive scale like the premonitory symptoms of marriage be tween a young couple moving in a circle anywhere outside of that town’s door. Ev eiybody io agitated from the grammar school to the gnmdmother-**from the plo* boy to iparson. The social hire begins to buzz when it is first whispered about that Abijah Yardstick and Patience Peapod an* getting as thick as (bree in a bed and two tit the foot. The community is getting tijmu -ts, .(."in toe matter, rne subj.-ct is brought on at breakfast, set out again for dinner, und warmed up for tea—and | eomatlinos nibbled at between meals. Old I maids turn their cups bottom upwards and ' tell their fortunes; see plenty of beaux perfectly alive with eadles, as brother Townsend says, in the mysterious tea grouuds, fine houses, splcnded equipages, and I don’t know.but bouncing babies. Old bachelors beat the devil’s tattoo upon the window-sill with their lingers, and indulge i in all sorts of silent conjectures. Father I and mother feel of the ribs, look in the mouth, and exumiuc all the prominent points of the interesting young couple, and conclude they arc hardly yet lit for market, or would not work well together in double harness. Auut Prudence censes from her knitting lo relate what she- has heard ; and then goes at it again with redoubled fury— as if she was trying to knit herself round a , race-course in two minutes and twenty s, c onda. Every body has something to say about the mattir—there is no such thing us keeping quiet. There is a super-abundance of electricity in the moral atmosphere, and (V -ry one’s magnet more or less affected. The excitement, my brethren, continues gradually to increase, till it is asserted that ••they are positively engaged!” Then comes the climax. • “Do toll!” “I want to know!’ “I declare!” ‘‘You don't say so !” are echoed in parlor, dining-room, »Ld kitchen, and yet is just what every body expected. Thou next Sunday a scrap of paper is seen through the g!a-s door of a little box stuck in the porch at the meet ing house, announcing the intention ot marriage “between Mr. Abijui, Yardstick and Patience Feapod, bath ol this town.’ Then in goers gather about it thicker than crows roun*l a dead horse —or red ants about a plate of sweet cake, il that suits you better; and while the hymn is .being sung, the sheepish-looking pair, ns the psalmist says; are the rhinoceroses of all eyes. In a week or so. inquisitiveness, is satiated. Affairs take a more sober turn; the slioemairer's and tailor's promises are fulfill, and to the letter- Betty, the kitchen maid, don’t let her di b water boil over; and the store ft ecpir’s clerk finds less diffi culty in posting up his books. Everyone minds h s oivu business until, perhaps a cer tain old gray marc is seen, every Sundae night, bitched to the gatepost in front of a certain young lady’s residence —and then the whole Tiling goes mad again. My brethren, for charity’s sake, whose !m iness but her own is it if a young iady Inis a beau, two beaux, twenty beaux or no beau at all ? Is a little flirtation, or a course of systematic courtship such a nov- ! el and wonderful affair as to excite the cu- j riositv and meddling propensities of tocie- | ty at large ? Why the thing has been done ever since N’oab and his family gave up the ship, and went forth to multiply and re. plenish the earth. It is a fait business transaction between the parties concerned —and a very pleasant piece of business it is too, when not interfe;r.d with by calcu lating parent.', w’uo o arithmetic !.- ym Bi T. 11.

NO. 44. ble—by paste-board relatives, who fear that *>me of the starch will be taken oul of the family pride—and by out-ide’pnke*noses in general, who arc determined to meddle for the fun and cruelly of the thiug. Lord! what an unnecessary fuss there is made - when a fvllow treads up to a girl Wfif U# meant to put her through a hasty courtship and then make her his old woman in spile of the devil himself/ I wonder if, when a gander selects his goose, there is such a gitlb! ng and shaking of feathers among tile flock. My friends: I intended to have said some thing about meddling with other matici»: but ns my printers hare got ml in a fight corner, we will conclude by singing the fol lowing hymn. You can try it to the tone of Nancy Duwson: “How nice it is to have a bean To take a body to and fro, The opory, church or Monkey show, And hope for blessed union! For the.i, wher’er we chance to stray. On sunny night or sunny day, | The people all will surely say— There'll shortly be a union?’’-' ’Tis sad to have to walk alone, j Along a path with brambels strewn, Without a beau tb call your own, And not a show for union / Nov no wonder that old maids declare They’re ten years younger than they are, And paint their cheekp aud dye their hair. To bring about a union ! But to the devil they most go ! The bachelors will be there too; And every one will get a beau, But narry happy uaiou ! So note it be I A Horrible Csiniiibnl .Story. A bonible tragedy (heretofore briefly mentioned] is reported fr m the Island of Fcjee, South Seas. The Rev. Thomas Baa nlth an a-ai-tant missionary and sfx native teachers, went to visit some island tribes, and he and his party were brutally murdered by one of the tribes, who are de scribed as the most confirmed cauuibais.— The writer says: “In this town (Longtown] there lives a notorious cannibal, with wncm I had a lit tle conversation. He pointed me to a pile of human bones in the fork of au orange tree Under which we were sitting, and as sured me that he had eaten the men of wh ch each bone there was a representative, ami that hu had kept these bones as a me mento of his ca’ioihaU-m, Many other | things did this inhuman wre ch make known I to me, and his countenance and more than | ordinarily worn teeth only helped to con | vines me tlwt he had literally been a bone [crusher. To have listened to this maa’s statements, and told, too, in the presence of those who could have contradicted them !j f false would have removed forever from the minds of some the idea that Fejeeans are not lovers of human flesh. This vile cannibal declared that, as for eating, noth ing was comparable to human flesh, not even fowls or pork.” The main fact iu the above statement is confirmed by the letter of a gentleman formerly ot Lawrenceburg, Indiana, to a brother in Cincinnati, dated Lconka, Ova lan, Fejee, September 2nd, 1867- We make the follow ing extract: ‘ Our native population, too, have been indulging themselves in a cannibal feast, almost unprecedented in the annals of can bal Fejee. There is a district iu the largs est island of the group of which little !• yet known. W; to men have crossed over or through it, but it was never considered safe. About two months ago one of the Wesleyan missionaries with somewhat of a bravado spirit, determined to penetrate in to the stronghold of heathenism, by their leave or no. lie took with him ten of the Christian natives of coast tribes, and march cl boldly on, fom town to town, through heathendom, thongff lie was warned by the people time and again, that he would be killed if he went furth t ou. Still he went on; anil when in the midst ot the district they set upon him and hit follower* and killed all but one of the natives, who es caped bv more of a chapter of accidents in his favor thau otherwise . to tell the horri ble tale. The dead bodies were all piled U p a powwow was held over them by the lathcns. and ilien they were distributed tor cooking, the ruling chief keeping Mr. Baker aud one native for his own private palate. Pin; coast is in a furore The old king is making preparations to kill, hang and quarter the interior tribes, and sell ouv the distr ct to white settlers for cotton grow ing. Hundreds, or thousands, perhaps, will be sacrificed to avenge the missiona ry's death. We have been informed, by a responsible gentleman of this place, of a female child being torn in York District, with a true resemblance of a waterfall, at the back or 1 t.pr head What is still as remarkable, ttie mother uever approved of such fashions^ 1 Its hair is about an inch in length, and ol a I beautiful black. How strange that nature will endeavor In imitate the fashions of the Luv by such ridiculous freaks, t h. pro -1 lom for the wise to solve.— Chester -tana
