TIIE OLD UOlllAmi*
BY LF.UI.A.
I come ! 1 eorne '. once more, sweet home.
To ramble o’er thy grand old hills,
To breath the perfume of the flowers
That bloom beside thy sparkling jilli.
How cherished each familiar spot,
Yon shadowy vale and moss wovo grot,
No sun bath ever shone so clear,
As that sweet Bellwood, shinning here /
Th# sylvan meadow slopping down
Towards the fern-encircled spring,
Where oft I quailed the crystal fount,
Aud made of oaken boughs a swing.
Each waving fieiq of emerald hue.
• Each rounding walk, each stretching view,
All tell a tale-of childhood's days,
Their sunny dreams, their mirthful plays
-'Twas here the Summer roses bloc m’d
First oil my joyful wondering sight ;
’Twas h»re my smtld was taught to love
The pure, the beautiful, the bright !
Ah, Time can never fade away
The glittering haurtof life’s young days,
Nor grief or pleasure from me bear
The memory of my Mother’s prayer.
In yonder grove our lov'd ones lie,
Where oft as evening shades decline—
’Tis sweet ’mid flagrant f]p\vcr« to kneel,
Tiic widow's and the orphans’® shrine /
Oh,’ there niethinks no fearful storm,
Or evil power e’er could harm.
Then wonder not that all is here
So sacred to my heart, so dear.
What though the Kates flung
O’er all these scenes a shade of woe.
And blood-stained hands havs torn away
The halcyon joys of long ago/
Phough mellowed is'the light that fals
O’er latticed porch, and pictured walls.
Thou still art beautiful to me
No other homo so fair as thee.
Oh, tell ire, waters murmuring loud,
Where are the friends oi other years,
Who smiled with us at festive board;
And with us wept the mourner’s tears!
One by one U,. U v * broken.
PsrtKlg words by young lips spoken,
Some trying life far o'er the wave,
Olliers sleeping" in the grave!
But the Cypress may uot.always droop,
i>eal»Be!lwoofl ! o’er these storied haunts
The wild-wood nymph, and minstrel lay,
Beneath the Elm again may dance.
Then bring-I,vie and Myrtle wreath.
s«eet May is blushing on the heath,
Our hearts with gratitude "to fill.
The light of home is gleaming still!

Meanness.
The following fact in a good ij>
lustration of that mean economy
which in plain Saxon is called
“stinginess,
A well-known artist went, one
summer,'into a country village for
rest from work. He found tLo
fare at the hotel so meagre and
bad that he determined to see if
he could not be better served in a
private family. Two maiden sis
ters, overjoy and at the generous
terms he offered, opened their
doors to receive him and bis fam
ily. Simple as their taete3 were,
however, the Eatons were again
disappointed. They could not live
upon the scanty food doled out to
them by the parsimonious sisters,
and at length. Mr. Eaton, in his
bland way, asked for his bill, as
he was about to leave. The bill
was handed to him with an addi
tion of one cent, two cent and
ninepenny charges, lor items upon
which no one but a small soul
would have dreamed of fixing a
money value.
Mr. Eaton put it in bis pocket as’a
unique specimen of meanness, to
enjoy a laugh over by and by, aud
laid upon the table the amount due
in bills.
‘Thank you,’ said Miss Pattie.
grasping the bills with an eagei
clutch; ‘you' have paid me four
cents too much, but 1 suppose jou
don't mind that.’
*Y C3, I do,’ answered Mr. Eaton,
with a mock serious face, better
than he could have paioted, and
I’ll tbauk you for the change.’
‘Massy!’ exclaimed Pattie.
‘My’sakes!’ echoed Nancy.. ‘Such
a little thing, and we hain’t got
four cents in the house.’
‘I will wait for it.’ replied Mr.
Eaton, sitting down as if prepared
to stay a year.
‘Massy to me 1 How queer you
be! We have got dinner to get,
and cant spend our time runnin'
round to borrow four cents.’
‘Why-ce;’ answered Nancy,‘who
would liev thought he wa3 so close
when he's paid us dollars jest as
prompt! WaT, I never.’
GrREENSBORO', GA., JUNE 11, 18(18.
Then they vanished into the but
tery, and spent a long time discuss
ing this singular exhibition of
closeness.
You may guess the effort it cost
the artist to play his part with
pioper seriousness, when Miss Pat
tie returned and placed before him
a pie and some cheese.
‘ There,’ she said, ‘cf you must
have them four cents, you can set
(Town and eat four cents’ wuth of
pie n cheese.’
Now this was the very first time
Mr. Eaton had ever bad more than
the eighth fraction of a pie offer
ed him under Miss Pattio's roof.—
The opportunity was too rich to
be slighted. Piece by piece that
pie vanished from before the eyes
of the watchful sisters.
‘l)eary-a deary me,’ sighed Pat
tie to Nancy, in a loud whisper;
‘we and better have paid him. Ties
eat a ninepunce worth a ready!’
The satisfied creditor laid down
his fork aud bade A Item a civil
good-day, averring, when he told
the story, that although he had acs
tually paid them a hundred dol
lars more than their just due, that
little incident was worth the full
amount.

ONOMY ASSUME A PERPENDICULAR.
Question, —Where is New Afri
ca ?
Answer, —In North America.
Ques.—How is it bounded ?
Arts.—On the North by cant,
hypocrisy, fanaticism, hatred, ex
tortion, rich bondholders, impover
ished tax-payers, drunken Con
gressmen, thriving governors, filthy
divorce cases and debauchery. On
the East by Sunday laws, high ta
riffs, abortion and abominations.—
On the West by hard work, poor
pay, heavy burdens, and general
discontent. And on the South by
desolation, galling bondage, ltegga
»»!ggci »<tgaDvm'l3, axstTaimnsc
ment and scallawag ‘Constitutions.’
Ques. —Who is New Africa’s
strongest inhabitants ?
Ans.—Sambo !
Ques. —Is he as strong as Sam
son ?
Ans.—As mnch stronger as a
polecat is stronger than a pink !
Ques.—llow so ?
Ans.—Samson merely slew a
few Philistines, carried off a gar
den gate, tied fire to foxes’ tails
and snapped a bed-cord. But Sam
bo, with the jaw hones of asses like
Sumner, Phillips, Wade and Bee
cher, has rent the “heaven born
Union” asunder, overthrown the
Constitution, slain five hundred
thousaud men, made three millions
of widows and orphans, piled upon
the bowed hack of a nation of bank
rupts a debt that eternity will not
see paid, beggared a continent, and
enslaved a hemisphere !
Ques.—What else has he done ?
Ans.—lie has, with the a cursed
wand of Congressional magic, con
verted ten “free sovereign and in
dependent States” into five wretch
ed, groaning military Pachalics, has
trampled beneath his jay-bird heels
all law, human and divine, and
crushed eight millions of freemen’s
sons and daughters under the bru
tal dominion of bob-tailed chimpan
zees, ex-cannibals, and sniflling,
imported Plymouth llockites.
Ques. —Is he satisfisd with what
he has already done ?
Ans.—Nary time ! After turn
ing the radiant Goddess of Ameri
can Liberty into a nigger strumpet
and her proud emblematic into a
sick looking crow ; after smashing
everything that was worth preserv
ing, and starting the whole country,
government and people, with stupid
brakesman, under a full head of
steam, to the devil, he still, like the
soul of the horse stealing saint,,
“goes on a marchin’ along.”
Ques. —What docs lie propose to
do now ?
Ans.—To impeach and remove
the President, the last obstacle in
the way of his universal triumph ;
to change the immutable decrees of
Nature herself, proclaim black to be
white, and white black ; and wind
up by producing a Ilayti four thou
srnd miles long by three thousand
wide.
Ques. —will he succeed ?
Ans.—Almost hardly none at all,
if the respondent understandeth
herself, and he thinks he do !
Ques. —Why will lie not ?
Ans.—Because the people at lust
“TOOT AMOR PATRIAU”
will rise in the right and majesty
of long outraged and patient gnan
hood, and swear by the* Eternal
Throne and him who sits thereon,
that the Union shall be presetned,
that WhticMen shall rule America,
and that Mongrel Treason antKl’rai
tors shall be made Odious !

Perhaps the following good ad
vice, from an article in the Herald
oj Health, may be of SQrvijo to
some young man who thinks of en
tering the holy relation :
Do not marry one of the delicate,
die-away women, who arc sure to
degenerate into invalids, and, take
a pride in their feebleness ; recount
their pains, and tell of the hazards
they have run, sit all day in easy
chairs, and lounge on sdfasA and
become at last a sort of forlornity;
and, having worn your patience
quite out, will get up an ill-used
look, and on the sly abuse you to
their cronies. Heaven save you
from a complaining, forlorn woman!
Do not marry a woman with thin
lips and a glib tongue. She may
be quite taking irf the flush of youth,
piquant and amusing while all is
smooth and prosperous, but w:oe to
you if adversity come—woe ta you
if you should thwart her mood, or
presume upon dictation; that ready
tongue of hers and sharp wit wi 1
work you discomfort, for from the
first she had the premonitions of a
shrew, and few men in our days
have the nerve of Pctruchio to quiet
such feminine manifestations.
I am sure it is not wise to marry
a woman of a different religions
faith, or one far removed from your
own social rank ; or an ignorant
woman ; that is, one whose igno
rance will aim jv v ■■ Mari' * rail *
may seem TiarnfleSs; rrrKl CVGn en
gaging in youth, which in the long
run w ill he very irksome if not dis
tressing.
Bew r arc of those thin-cheeked,
blue-veined, narrow-chested girls,
so much admired by sentimental
writers, unless you would transform
w*hat ought to be a cheery house
hold into a hospital. Disease should
never be associated with marriage;
indeed, to a person of a sound mint!
and healthful physique, it is most
repugnant.
Do not marry a girl who sits in
the parlor and dresses like a fine la
dy while her mother works in the
kitchen, for this implies a cold sel
fishness, that may he anything f>ut
favorable to the peace and geniality
of a household.
A certain roundness of contour ;
a composure and self-poise, devoid
of heaviness or sluggishness; an
elastic buoyancy, a bright uppish
look, more of pride than vanity ; a
clear, open eye, and pure, child
like smile ; hands and feet well pro
portioned, not too small, are out
lines easily discriminated, and con
stitute a safe, reliable character.—
A cheerful woman, who can find
something bright and beautiful eve
rywhere, and who knows how to
devise ways and means to make
others happy and content about her,
is a jewel of estimable worth.
Cheerfulness of temper, candor
that rejects every species of false
hood, and owns to the truth at any
peril; tenderness to be detected by
a fondness for and faithful care of
pets, rather than by outward ex
pressions ; purity, instinct in tlio't
and action, intelligence to appre
ciate all that is noble and good, and
health, sound and clastic, are traits
to insure duty as a wife and happi
ness in a household.
A shrew is uot known by “Lhin
lips and glib longue ,” but by the
way of using them.

A New" York paper says that the
famous Belle Boyd, formerly the

Need of Religion. —A poor man
without some sort of religion is,
at best, a poor reprobate, the foot
ball of destiny with no tie linking
him with infinity and to the woim
dcrous eternity that lies before
him. But woman is even worse—
a flame without heat, a raiubow
without color, a flower without per
fume. A man may, in some way,
tic his hopes aud honors to this
weak, shitting world; but a \vo>
man without that anchor called

[but woman, in her comparatively

II o\v Dickens and llul-
Aver Write
From a paper oil “Busy Brains",
in the.last Atlantic we extract tho
following:
Dickens’ favorite time for com- j
position is said to lie in the morn- j
ing. Powell, in his “Notice of j
living Authors of, England,” says'
that he writes until about one or
two o’clock, when he lunches, and
afterwards takes a walk for a couple
of hours, returns to dinner, and
gives the evening to his own or a
friend’s fireside. Sometimes his
method of labor is much more in
tense and unremitting. Os his de
lightful little Christmas book, “The
Chimes,” the author says, in a let
ter to a friend, that he shut himself
up for one month close and tight
over it.
“All iny affections and passions
got twined and knotted up in it, and
i become as haggard as a murderer ,
long before I w rote “The End.”—
When I had done that like “The
Man of Thessaly,” who, having
scratched his eyes out in a quick
set hedge plunged into a bramble
bush to scratch them in again, I
lied to Venice to recover the com
posure I had disturbed.” When
his mind began to outline a new
novel, with vague thoughts rife
within him, he goes “wandering
about at night into the strangest
places,” he says, rest and
finding none.”
Bulwer accomplishes his volumi
nous productions in about three
hours a day, usually from ten to one
and seldom later, writing all with
his own hand. Composition was at
first very laborious to him, but he
gave himself sedulously to master
ing its difficulties, and is said to
have re-written some of his briefer
productions eight or nine times be
fore publication. Ho now* writes
rc*twy, rrroi .torlttfi-, it -i. 111,
twenty octavo pages a day. He
says himself, in a letter to a friend :
“I literatize away the morning,
ride at three, go to bed at five, dine
at six', and get through thfc evening
as I best may, sometimes by cor
recting a proof.”
I •Tunica Buchanan.
| James Buchanan, ex-President of
.the United States, died yesterday,
aged 77, Mr, Buchanan wa3 of Irish
descent, his father having emigrated
to this country from the County of
Donegal, Ireland, where the people
still point with pride to tho cottage
once inhabited by the father of an
American President. He was born
in Frankling county, Pennsylvania
April 13, 1791, and it may be men
tioned as a curious coincidence, that
Fort Sumter surrendered to the
Confederates on the seventieth ani
versary of his birth.
Admitted to tho Bar of Pennsyl
vania in 1812, Mr. Buchanan first
distinguished himself as a lawyer in
the defence of an eminent judge of
that Slate before an Impeachment
Court in 1816 and 1817. From
that time the increase in his prac
tice and popularity was rapid, and
in 1820 he was elected to Congress.
His maiden speech in that body was
in 1822 in defence of Mr. Craw
ford, the then Secretary of the
Treasury. A clear thinker and
able speaker. Mr. Buchanan was
always a consistent State Rights
Democrat, and was prominent in the
councils of the party. In 1831 he
went as United States Minister to
St. Petersburg, where he repre
sented the country with distinguish
ed ability. This trust lie accepted
for the honour of position, and re
signed a lucrative practice from
which lie had already amassed a
comfortable fortune. After the ac
cession of Mr. Polk to the Pres
idency in 1841, Mr. Buchanan with
drew from public life, until in 1858
President Pierce appointed him am
bassador to the Court of St James.
Mr. Buchanan was inaugurated
as President of the United States,
March 4, 1857. The civil discord,
the seeds of which had been long
pianted, and from which the country
has since suffered so much, culmi
nated just at the close of his admin
istration, and to his credit be it said,
hg conducted himself with a calm
ness and moderation which his sue-'
cessor would have done well to imi
tate. One-half of the country might
not now be lying in ruins, while the
whole suffers from tyranny and is
overburdened with debt.

Tlic Case oi «I. C, limine
THE ALLEGED CONFEDERATE PIRATE.
Before Judge Benedict,--TLo
L nited States vs. Jehu O. Brains ;
In this ease, an application was
I made in court some days ago to ad-
I rnit the accused to bail. Judge
! Benedict reserved opinion, and yes
terday morning decided against the
application. He said, having con
sidered the application, which was
to admit the defendant to bail in a
small sum, he had to sav that the
prosecution is founded on an in
dictment for murder. The defense
is that the offence was committed
while the criminal was acting as one
of the Confederate rebel navy, tho
offence charged being the murder
of an officer of tho Chesapeake, a
steamer plying at tho time between
New York and Portland. The ac
cused has been in confinement ma
ny months, and the application now
is to admit him to hail in a small
sum, on the ground that he i3 una
ble to procure witnesses to prove in
bis behalf that he (Braine) was ac
ting in the matter of the offence
charged under regular commission.
It was not very clear from the af
fidavits put in on the part of the de
fendant how his release on bail
would enable him to procure the at
tendance flf witnesses. The court,
however, would be inclined to ac
cept bail in a sum that would in
sure the defendant’s attendance on
the trial, hut he did not feel justi
fied in admitting a party, charged
with murder to ban in the small
sum named in the application. Ho
would therefore deny the motion,
with liberty to renew the applica
tion whenever it should be made,
setting forth an aruoqnt of bail to
insure the attendance of tho pris
oner to take his trial whenever tho
case might bfc called on.— N. V.

from the Commercial of the 27th:

Wade and shelved—in Chicago.
Wade and distrusted—in Wash

Ben Wade’s correspondence is
not so arduous as it was.
Wade cursed the pertinacity of
the office-seekers lately. lie has

Ben Wade would rather be right
than he President. He made up
his mind about it last evening.
For rent—A newly repaired
house, in Greenville, Tennessee.
Apply to A. Johnson, White House.
“Wade Din.” was tho motto of
the carpet-baggers; “Wane doubt”
the motto of judicious people.
The carpet-baggers have left
Washington, and there will be no
more spontaneous applause in tho
galleries.
The people never elected Ben
Wade to any thing, but he camo
within one vote to electing himself
President.
The importance of one vote is
proverbial. Ben Wade would like
to have had just one more, in order
to cast it for Ben Wade.
Mr. Johnson finds it inconvenient
to vacate the entire White House to
Mr. Wade, but wi*i kindly tender
him the use of the blue-room.
