Close by the blazing fire; Watching the flames ol rosy light. As t hey crept up high and higher, Flashing on the brown of the boy’s curls, Lighting up the gold of the liftio girl’s. Close at their feet unheeded lay, A mimic tower of painted blocks, And an open book with pictures gay, Of a shepherd tending his snowy flocks; A cricket sat on the broad stone hearth Chirping a song of noisy mirth. The “gnde wife” sat at her whirring wheel, Spinning the wool into thread; Thinking, as she wonnd it off on the reel, Of the little boy that was dead; And her bosom throbbed with heavy sighs, As she wiped the tears from her soft bine eyes. The ‘‘gude mon” sat by the cosy fire, The red light dancing on his silvered hair, While he wrought away with a twisted wire, Striving to mend a broken chair; Casting ever and anon a knot on the fire Throwing the sparkles high and higher. Old Towser rested his nose on his paws, Drowsily watching the children at play, Thinking as he moved bis massive jaws, Of the juicy rabbit he caught that day, Seeming to thick aud solemnly wonder, If there was another in the thicket out yonder. The children were watching the cheatnnts brown That roasted and popped in the ashes, While out of doors the rain fell down, And dropped from the eaves in h-avy splashes, And the wind god breaking hoaisely out, Shrieked and raved with a lusty shout. “Look ! little sister,” cried the eager boy, To the girl who sat with lips apart; “How the red fire eats, with a hiss of joy, Into that big log’s oaken heart;” And the flames leaped up with a merry whirl Laughing in the face of the little girl. “Look! little sister, away in the coals, I see little children at pi iy ; Tossing the snow on the whitened wolds, Just as we did last Christmas day— The balls fly thick and fast about, And I think I can near the children shout. And sec, little sissy, that castle grand, Keating its towers over the sea ; ’Tis the grandest bouse in all the land, I'll build such a one for you and me. See the horses and dogs go harrying on”— The chestnuts popped, and the castle was gone. “There now, sissy, the prettiest are gone”! The little boy ruefully cried; “But any way our chestnuts are done,” And he sat down by her side. “Oh ! they are prime, sissy and just see— There are ten for you, and ten for me !” The dark lay still on the face of the deep, The storm-king roared in his might, But the little children lay fast asleep, On the floor, in the red fire-light; And the gude wife carried them off to bed, Murmuring a prayer over each curly head. For the Federal Union. Though!* for the Time*. There are times when we should think about thinking ; times, too, when thought and develop ment may not be entirely free, earnest, philosoph ic. But now seems to be the hour when Ameri can mind has awakened, and every element of thought and action is receiving fresh elacticity, energy, power. A terrible revolution has up- heaved every principle of order and society, per illing our most important and sacred institutions, civil, social, religious. The waves of passionate action have dashed to the surface and shore the wrecks of effete thought and theory. Doubtless iu every irresistible upheaving of nations, affec ting powerfully every element of national exis tence, one leading, all-prevailing principle over shadows and imparts impetus to its movement. That thought, in this revolution, is the develop ment of a purer, stronger, higher, Christian civil ization. Dissatisfaction with oar institutions has not been the origin of our national difficulties, hut the want of pure hearts and heads, and pro found wisdom, controlling in our national coun sels, thus throwing the administration of troth and law into the hands of the ignorant and un principled. Hence the material has predominated over the spiritual and mental mind has reposed for awhile iu the contemplation and enjoyment of its creations, while the inoie gross aud material ele ments of society have usurped authority, hurling their forces against its citadel. Reeling beneath the terriule shock, it has called to the contest eve ry power of its being. Men are thinking who never have thought, never before felt the necessi ty for mpntal effort. They intensely feel that darkness has been offered for light, shadows for substances. Aught that is worthy and noble, commands the interest of every thinker, states man, Christian philosopher, and urges them to marshal their forces. Much of onr education, re ligious and political, for years, has resalted in the wildest conceptions based chiefly upon our mate rial interests, producing the germs of fanaticism and infidelity, in opposition to reason and revela tion. To-day, spiritual and material forces are contending for the mastery amid the wreck of our country, while a noble band of patriots are en deavoring to harmonize the discordant elements, oat of which to erect a still nobler fabric. The opportunity for ignorance and prejudice to warp and mar purity and justice is abundant. True sentiment, truth, lofty virtue, becomes wrecked when compelled to be surrounded by, and clothed in the forms of the material. Truth and princi ple proposes to conquer upon a loftier platform. Ever and anun they may call into their ranks the grosser forces, hr.t soon they become unwieldy, worthless, having accomplished their mission.— Truth is often shrinking, timid, but when attack ed, it should behold, defiant, soaring to its own sublime sphere. The nature of republicanism and democracy, our constitution and laws, onr al most unbounded freedom, gives the corrupt and designing the privilege of grasping the reins of administration and power. The license to an in discriminate abuse of these elements of national prosperity and existence does indicate in them a want of power and adaptation; but fearfully teaches us that “eternal vigilance" is the price of liberty. Every element of boundless freedom and glory remains intact, and now renewed effort and purer wisdom is necessary to correct past mistakes, strengthen weak points, and upon a broader and more imperishable Christian platform, build a gov ernment that shall surpass in liberty, glory and grandeur the old establishment..Energetic thought and action, prompted by impulsive efforts to breast the waves and storms that beat madly about us, often runs into the wildest exeeme* and lawless ness—a prominent danger just now, and if not fully appreciated by the leaders of Cbnrcb and State, will be most disastrous. We bave states manship, patriotism, devotion and every civil and Christian law, for the erection of the noblest structure. Calmly, patiently, bringing to the work our most powerful resources, should we bend our energies to our sublime ufiliiOB. the (ask of perseverance and improvement. Persevere in many, improvement in some things, is our work, acting upon CcBsar's motto, “regarding nothing t done when there is yet anything to do.” Many of our forms of Church and State are defunct and inapplicable. None but the bitterly prejudiced wiil deny this fact. No community or religious organization should prevent progress and enlight ened improvement by worthless material. Our obligations to society and the wellfare of the fu- tme demands that we organize upon the highest and most philosophic platform, that truth, law and wisdom may be presented and taught in their pu rest 8nd most splendid forms. An age of higher development and progress is dawni^. That pro gress does not contain the elements of destruc tion. except to the worthless, bat it will scatter the words and tiuths of life. We should be pre pared to meet this age, and properly appreciate our office and mission. The darkness that has been shrouding our social aud political horizon, is revealing worlds of light hitherto unknown in the philosophy of human existence and govern meat. Thought demands freedom, and must be untrammelled to pursue vigorously and success fully its glowing path of light. When men will raise their eyes from the darkness of earth to the splendor of heaven’s beams, we do not fear the consequences. Who are to throw themselves in to these wildly tumultuous masses, prevent ex cesses and insurrections in principle and law, mould their characters, refine and regulate their tastes and sentiments, and straggle manfully in the formation of a lofty national character? Who are to inquire intelligently and thoughtfully iuto the elements that are warping themselves into our social, religious, and political institutions? Men of the purest hearts, of maturest thought, of con secrated and noblest ambition, of most compre hensive'statesmenship; men who think, act and legislate for unborn millions; men set apart iu solitary significance to the work of elevating their race, aud whese entire beings are absorbed in loftiest communion with the terrible realties of ex istence. temporal and eternal! Upon the tone of our action and legislation now, depends the des tiny of law and religion, the spread of light and truth. The happiness and loftiest rights of mil lions are profoundly involved. Avon Edme. An Ohio politician was boasting in a public speech, that ho could bring an aignment to a pint as quick as any other man.

THE CONSTITUTION. OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA. ARTICLE I. declaration of rights. 1. Protection to persons and property is the duty of government. 2. No person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property, except by due process of law. 3. The writ of heabeas corpus, shall not be suspended unless in case of rebellion, or invasion, the public safety may require it. 4.

No re strictions are placed upon the sale of laudanum, and the irresponsibility of the druggists is denoun ced by the Telegraph as the means of shortening the lives of very many of the citizens. A woman with a bad tempey is liko the world without sunshine. The Hair of Women.—A German professes to have counted the hairs on the heads of four wo men of different complexion, and has just pub lished the result: On the head of the blonde there were 140,419 hairs ; on that of the brown haired women, 109,440; on that of the black-haired, 102,962; and on that of the red-haired, 83,740. Although there was this disparity in the number of individual hairs, each crop was about the same weight. The average weight of a woman’s hair is stated, on the same authority, to be fourteen ounces. Fashionable Ff.mai.e Play.—The gambling of ladies at present in New York, is now described as a separate nationality. A correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette says: In Fifth avenue and fourteenth and Twenty- or waiver, or estopel of such claim for compensation of loss sustained by reason of the emancipation of his slaves, as any citizen of Georgia may hereafter make up on the justice and magnanimity of that Government. 21. The enumeration of rights herein contained is a part of the Constitution, but shall not be construed to deny to the f 'eople any inherent rights which they i rave hitherto enjoyed. ARTICLE II.

Some of the female gamesters lose heavily, aud the desperate sbilta to which they are put to con ceal their losses, and replace them, must be fear fully demoralizing. A young woman, the daugh ter of one of onr most opulent citizens, was point ed out to me last Saturday, in the park, as a noto rious gambler, by one of her own sex, who in formed me that she had parted with one hundred thousand dollars since she went to Saratoga, in July, and made the doting papa believe that she had expended the sum in dress and cbaiity. The young woman in question is very pretty, not mare than twenty; and no one regarded her pale spirituelle face, her soft bine eyes, and gentle and reserved manner, would imagine that sbe had fall en a victim to one of the incst dangerous vices. A young man in Harrisburg, Penm, answered an advertisement in a New York paper, which set forth that “valuable information would be for warded on receipt of. 10.” The young man sent the 10c and received the following: “Friend, for your ten cents, postage, <fcc., please find enclosed advice, which may be of great value to you. As many persons are injured for weeks, months and years by the careless use of a knife, therefore, my advice is, when you use a knife always whittle from you.” Some Siiooting.—The following re liable story is one of the incidents of camp life. A Yankee sharpshooter and a Mississippi picket got tired of firing at the bomb-proofs each fellow was m, and soon got into conversation: Federal—“I say, can you fellows shoot?” Reb—“Wall, I reckon we can some. 12. The powers of the courts to punish for contempts shall be limited by legisla tive acts. 13. Legislative acts in violation of the constitution are void, and the judiciary shall so declare them. 14. Ex post facto laws—laws impair ing the obligation of contracts, and retro active laws injuriously affecting any right of the citizen, are, prohibited: 15. Laws should have a general opera tion, and no general law affecting private rights shall be varied in a particular case by special legislation, except with the free consent, iu writing, of all persons to be affected thereby; and no person being under a legal disability to contract, is ca pable of such free consent. 16. The power of taxation over the whole State shall be exercised by the General Assembly only to raise revenue for the support of government, to pay the public debt, to provide for the common defence, and for such other purposes as the General Assembly may be specially required or empowered to accomplish by this Constitution. But the General Assem bly may, by statute, grant the power of taxation for designated purposes, with such limitations as they may deem expedient, to county authorities and municipal cor porations, to he exercised within their sev eral territorial limits. 17. In cases of necessity, private ways may be granted upon just compensation being first paid ; and with this exception Dowd in Mississippi w r e can knock a private property shall not he taken save bumble-bee off a thistle bough at three hundred yards.” Fed.—‘‘Oh, that ain’t nothing to the way we shewt up in Varmount. I belonged to a military company there, with a hundred men iu the company, and we went out to prac tice every week. The cap’n draws us up in single file, and sets a cider bar rel rolling down hill, and each man takes a shot at the bung-hole as it turns up. It is afterward examined, and if there is a shot that didn’t go in the bung-hole, the member is expelled. I belonged to the company ten years, and there ain’t been nobody expelled yet.” HooPE*!—Leigh Hunt goes into eestaciea while describing the additional beauties which the hoop adds to the female figure: When the hoop is large and the swell of it hangs at a proper distance from the person, it be comes not a h&bilmeni, hut an inclosnre- The person stands aloof from it, and is imagined to do so. The lady is a goddess, is half concealed in a hemisphere out of which the rest of her person rises like Venus out of the billows. When she moves, and the hoop is a proper length as well as breadth, sbe does not walk—her steps are not vis ible—she is borne along ; she is wafted, comes glidisg. for public use, and then only on just com pensation to be first provided and paid, un less there be a pressing, tinforseen neces sity ; in which event the General Assem bly shall make early provision for 6nch compensation. 18. The right to be secure in their per sons, houses, papers and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated; and no warrant shall is sue but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place or places to be search ed, and the person and, things to be seized. 19. The person of a debtor shall not be detained in prison, after delivery for the benefit ol his creditors, of all his estate, not expressly exempted by law from levy and sale. 20. The Government of the United States having, as a war measure, proclaim ed all slaves held or owned in this State, emancipated from slavery, and having carried that proclamation into fall effect, there shall henceforth be, within the State of Georgia, neither slavery nor involun tary servitude, save as a punishment for crime, after legal conviction thereof; Pro vided, this acquiescence in the action of the Government ot the United States, is not intended to operate as a relinquishment, Section 2.
