Was it the chime of a tiny bell, That came so sweet to my dreaming ear; Like the silvery tone? of a fairy’s shell That he winds on the beach, so mellow and clear, YV hen the winds and the waves lie together asleep, And the moon and the fairy are watching the deep, She dispensing her silvery light, And he, his notes as silvery quite, While the boatman listens and ships his oar, To catch the music that comes from the shore ? Hark ! the notes, on nty ear that play, Are set to words : —as they float they say, “Passing away ! passing away !** But no ; it was not a fairy’s shell, Blown on the beach,so mellow and clear, Nor was it the tongue of a silver bell, Striking the hour, that fill’d my ear, As I lay in iny dream ; yet was it a chime That told of the. How of the stream of time ; For a beautiful clock from the ceiling hung, And a plump little giri lor a pendulum swung ; (As you’ve sometimes seen, in a little ring That hangs in his cage, a Canary bird swing ;) And she held to her bosom a budding bouquet, And, as she enjoy’d it she teemed to say, “Passing away ! passing away !\ (), how bright were the wheels, that told O! the lapse of time, as they moved around slow ; j Aud the hands, as they swept o'er the dial ofgold, i Seemed to point to the gill below, And lo ! she had changed ;—iu a lew short hours j Her bouquet had become a garland of flowers, That she held in her outstretched hands, and flung This w ay and that, as she, dancing, swung, In the fullness of grace and womanly pride, That told me she soon was to be a bride ; Yet then, when expecting her happiest day, In the same sweet voice 1 heard her say, “Passing away ! passing away !” While I gazed at that fair one’s check, a shade Os thought, or care, Hole softly over, Like that by a cloud in a summer’s day made, Lookingdown on a field of blossoming clover. The rose yet lay on her cheek, but its flush Had something lost of its brilliant blu4t; And the light iu her eye,and the light on the wheels, That marched so calmly around above her, YY r as a little dimm’d, —as when evening steals Upon noon’s hot face: —Yet one couldn’t but love i her, For she look’d like a mother, whose first babe lay Rock’d on her breast, as she swung all day ; And she seem’d, in the same silver tone, to say, “Passing away ! passing away !” While yet I look’d what a change there came ! Her eye w as quench’d, and her cheek was wan: Stooping and staff’d was her wither’d frame, Yet, just as busily, swung she on ; The garland beneath her had fallen to dust; The wheels above her were eaten wilh rust; The hands that over the dial swept, Grew crooked and tarnish’d, but on they kep% And still there caine that silver tone From the shrivel I’d lips of the toothless crone ; (Let me. never forget till my dying day The lone or the burthen of her lay,) “Passing away ! passing away !’’ [Fr*m the Dublin University Magazine.] The Stars sink one by one front Night. The stars sink one by one from night, No trace of them we find ; Th y banish from the brow'’ of night, And none is left behind Alone, And none is left behind. The sun goes to his ocean-bed, In all his rays enshrined ; He wraps them round his crimson head, Ar.d leavrth none behind Tomourn , And leavelh none behind. The beautiful and gifted dead, The noblest of our kind, Have cast their work aside and fled. And we are left behind Alone, And we are left behind. The dear old friends of early time, Hearts around our hearts entwined, Have faded from us in their prime, And we are left behind To mourn, And we are left behind. Pale stars, red sun, ye come again, For whom no hearts have pined ; Wc call our darlings back in vain ; Still we are left behind Alone, Still we are left behind. Oli ! dear ones, teach us so to run Our race, in suu and wind, That we may win where ye have won, Though we be left behind Awhile, Though we be left behind.

The fact being onee established that our soil and cli mate produce finer wool than other countries, will give to our manufacturers invariably tire superiorly in cloths, if tiie manufacturer is allied in his interest to the grower.” An editor, in dunning his subscribers, says, “lie hat little responsibilities thrown upon him just now, which he is obliged to meat.” A shirt made with tiie magnetic needle and the thread of a parson’s discourse, will be ex hibited at the World’s Fair, in New York, A vocalist says he could sing “Way down on tire old Tar River,” if lie. could get the pitch.

Dear Sir :— As l nion Democrats, we are called upon to choose between tho re union of tiie Democratic party, and the re-organization of tiie Union party. Having fully expressed my self favorable to the first proposition, I will give the reasons which have influenced mv own de cision, and which 1 think should control tiie course of every Union man who intends to iden tify himself with the National Democratic par ty- The Democratic party of Georgia was disor ganized by tiie divisions in its ranks on the Com promise measures of 1850. That portion of the party with which we acted regarded those measures as conformable to the principles of the National Democracy—violate of no consti tutional right of the South, and an infliction of no grevious wrong, The other wing of tho party holding a different opinion, the party was dissolved, and new organizations sprung up in the place of the Democratic and Whig par ties of tiie State. The issue was made, and submitted to tiie people ofCeorgia, ami by them decided, and that decision solemnly-affirmed,— The same issue was presented to tiie Democracy of the l nion, and when assembled at italtimore to nominate their candidates for President and ! Vico President, the position of the -National j Democracy upon the compromise was clearly, I distinctly, and unequivocally announced. With that declaration all Union men were perfectly j satisfied—in truth itwas all that they could desire | The Presidential canvass was coudutted upon i it. General Pierce did not hesitate to respond I in the most cordial terms of approval to this pa- j triotic declaration of the National Democracy, j He was elected by an overwhelming majority / of tiie electoral votes, and upon entering upon j his responsible duties, lias paid another tribute! to tiie “wisdom and patriotism” which carried j tiie country safely through that ‘ perilous crisis” | which gave birth to the compromise measures, lie has called around him a cabinet of able and | patriotic men, who stand as a unit in his couii- j se!s, and to whom, as I am informed, his inau- : gural address was submitted for approval prior ! to their acceptance of seats in Ids cabinet. Under these circumstances, ought any Union ! Democrat—indeed, any Union man, whether! U big or Democrat—to hesitate iu giving to the present administration his confidence and sup port ? To proceed one step further—ought any such man to hesitate in cordially affiliating with the National Democratic party ? 1 think not. Roth tiie President and the party who elected him, have commended themselves to our confidence and regard, hv the course of policy which they have adogiled upon this im portant question, aud i hold that it is not only : our privilege ‘hut our duty to give to hath our j cordial arid unconditional support. Should either j prove unworthy of it, of which 1 have no fears, it will lie time enough then to consider “of the mode and measure of redress.’’ The question j then presents itself—how is this support to fie ; given most efficiently to tiie administration and ; tiie Democratic party ? It seems to me that there can be but one answer to Ihe inquiry, ft is by a cordial co-operation, in tiie Democratic party, of all who are prepared to stand upon the platform of principles announced by the Baltimore Convention, endorsed by the people in the recent election, and re-affirmed by Gen. Pierce, with the concurrence of his Cabinet, in his Inaugural Address. Upon this basis it is proposed to re-unitethe Democratic party. As at Union Democrat, it meets my cordial appro val, and shall receive my warm support. 1 iiavo not reviewed tiie position of the other wing of the party: On the contrary, 1 shall avoid it, having no disposition to re-open tiie points of division which led to our separation. My ob ject is simply to state our own present and past course, to siiow that in the policy now proposed we are acting in conformity to the requiiements of duty and principle, it is sufficient for me to know that tiie Democratic party of tiie State can now he re-united upon the terms which 1 have suggested, and I shall not stop to inquire by what route others have traveled to arrive at the same point with myself. However much we have differed in tiie past, we are now agreed upon the essential points of our political faith, j and being so agreed, wo should strive to effect a i thorough and cordial co-operation in the sup- j port and maintenance of our common princi- j pies. To this line of policy I have heard but two j objections, which have been urged with any earnestness; and I avail myself of tho oppor tunity to offer a brief reply to eacii of them. The first is that there exists a radical difference of opinion between the two wings of the party, on the doctrine of “secession.” 1 admit that suclt is tiie fact, in reference to tiie individual members, but I doubt much as to the extent of j this difference with the great body of the party ; j but let the fact stand admitted in its broadest j sense, for the sake ol argument. 1 would en- j quire of those who make this objection, if die same tiling has not been true of tlie party for \ the last twenty years, at least? Is it not a fa miliar fact, that, whilst tho Jackson Democrats | held tiie doctrines laid down by that venerated patriot in his message to Congress, and his ! proclamation to South Carolina, tiie Calhoun | Democrats at tiie same time contended for the j right of secession, as advocated by their distin- ! guished leaders ? The followers of each have maintained tiie faith of their respective leaders, and will ill all probability continue to do so. ThU difference of opinion, however, upon an abstract question, did not prevent the union and co-operation of both sections, in all the essen tial doctrines of tiie Democratic paity, upon which there existed no diversity of opinion. With a full knowledge of these differences, they continued to act together in the same pai ty, leaving the abstract question of “secession,” to the judgment of the individual members of [ tiie party, neither making tiie affirmance) nor de- | nial of that doctrine a test of party faith. I see j no reason for departing from the rule there ac- j ted upon. It will be time enough to make “se- j cession” a cause for division, when it is sought i to make tiie recognition of it a test of party loy- ! ally, or when there shall arise a party who j may threaten its practical enforcement. The ! first of these contingencies is not at present pro- i posed from any quarter, and whenever a crisis arrive, which shall demand the latter, in the shall judgement of the people, Ido not apprehend that we shall stop, to discuss the abstract ques tion, il we are agreed upon themore important point of tiie necessity and propriety of its en forcement. It, however, we would not he thus agreed, as was the case in our recent contest, there will be no more difficuky in the future than there has been in the past, in meeting and successfully resisting its recognition amt en forcement. The objection, therefore, presents to my mind no serious impediment in the way of the re-union of the Democratic party of our State. Ihe only remaining objection which seems to demand attention, is founded upon the idea, that there exists, among southern rights men, such deep personal hostility to Union dem ocrats, as to preclude the probability of our re j ceiving justice at their hands, it is urged that I their opposition being oi a personal and inaiig- I mint character will not cease with tiie reunion, j hut will be continued and felt in tiie future ope j rations of tiie party. It is a sufficient reply to | their objection to say that it is an argument ad dressed to our fears, and not to our judgment; as such it shall lie discarded without further thought; but itisaiso founded in error to our sup posed weakness in the party, lino oilier conside ration should cause our rights to he respected, we may safely calculate upon tho homage always paid to power, carrying as we do into the re united party all the elements of strength, which make up in the aggregate the power and influ ence of a party. In looking, however, to tiie re-union of the party, I do not, apprehend such a state of tilings as this objection foreshadows, and perhaps I shall have as much personal cause of apprehension upon this point as any other Union democrat. It is true that the angry ai.d violent contests of the last two years have embittered the feel ings and aroused the passions of many towards each other, who will now he thrown again into tiie same party association ; but time and reflec j lion will prove successful restoratives of good | feeling where interest and policy failed to j accomplish it. With weak minds and had j hearts, the process will he less rapid, but in the j end, not less certain, it will be found that i those who indulge iu this spirit of personal hos j tiiity are lew in numbers, and powerless in in fiuence. Tiie good sense and good feelieg of the great body of tiie party will invoke tiie better spirit, and lead to wiser and purer coun sels. The danger to the future union and har mony of the party from that quarter, f feel as sured is overestimated by those who regard itas an insuperable obstacle in the way of a cordial re-union oftiie Democratic party. 1 am opposed to die re-urbanization of the Union party, because it is unnecessary. An im portant crisis in our national affairs called that party into existence. 1 participated in its organizations and during its existence, took an active interest in all its operations, and can now look hack with pleasure and sat isfaction to its successful career, it was, in my judgment, a patriotic organization, demand ed by a peculiar state of our political affairs, and having faithfully discharged its office, has passed away with the causes which led to its formation. It lived to see the triumph of its principles, and ceased to exist w hen its longer Continuance was equally impracticable aud un neeess ary. To revive and maintain tiie Union party as a sectional organization, would be violative of the great principle of nationality upon which it was founded. On the other hand, to attempt its continuance as a national organization, is de lusive, as it would stand isolated from all na ! tional party association. In the history oftiie j dissolution of the Union party, we find con- I elusive evidence that it cannot maintain a na tional organization, it will he remembered, that the Democratic Convention at Baltimore had nominated candidates and adopted a plat form entirely acceptable to the Union party ; our own State Convention assembled and deter mined to support the democratic nominees, and put forward an electoral ticket for that purpose. A large and respectable portion of the whig wing of tiie party, who admitted that the demo cratic nominees and platform were satisfactory, and at tiie same time, repudiated tiie whig nominee as unsound and unworthy of their sup port, withdrew from the party, preferring to throw away their votes oil a nominal candidate, to affiliating with tiie National Democratic par ty, notwithstanding that party had presented them with a platform of principles, and nomi i nees, pledged to the maintenance of their Union doctrines. I allude to tiiis action in no spirit of complaint, recognizing as I do, the perfect right of those gentlemen to pursue tiie line of policy which they adopted; piy object is sim ply to show that the elements composing the Union organization of Georgia, are incapa ble of being moulded into one and tiie ! same National organization. The democratic 1 portion of the party is not onl y prepared for, but determined upon affiliation with tiie Nation al Democracy, whilst a large portion of the whig wing is equally determined against such affiliation, as is cleat ly exhibited by the course ; pursued by their respective portions iu die late Presidential election. President Pierce and tiie democratic party, have no stronger claims up on whig support now, than during the canvass; for all that has been done since the election, lias only been in confirmation of their previous declarations. In this view of tiie case, it is a manifest proposition, to my mind, that the Union party of Georgia, if re-organized, could only maintain a fitful existence, as a State or section al party,and would lie dissolved at the first ap proach of a national election. Apart from these considerations, I regard the re-organization of the Union party as unneces sary, for the purpose indicated : of giving its sup port. to tiie present administration. If the whole people of Georgia are prepared to sustain Gen. Pierce’s administration, I can see no good rea son why it cannot he done as efficiently under a Democratic as a Union organization. Why can wo not all unite in the democratic party ? If we are all agreed upon the principles to which Gen. Pierce and the Democratic party stand pledged, there can he no sound objection to our union aud co-opeialinii in die name oftiie Democratic party, i should be luqipv, indeed, to believe that such was tiie condition of the public mind of our State—as it would give to our people a respite from the angry contests of political parlies, and enable tlftmi to appropriate more of their time and energy to the develop ment of our State’s almost endless resources— but 1 must be pardoned the expression of a se rious doubt upon this point, and shall he agree ably disappointed, if the future should convict me of incredulity. I entertain no doubt that a large number ot our citizens, who have hereto fore acted with this party, will lie perpetrated to utter with the democratic party as tiie most efficient mode of sustaining an administration which they have aided in bringing into power, and which possesses their confidence and re gard. All who feel willing and ready to affiliate with tiie national democracy, can have no con trolling objection to tiiis course, and those who are not prepared to go to this extent, thereby exhibit a distrust of tiie democratic party and its chosen administration, w hich render their and our future co-operation in the saute organi zation, impracticable. I have now given you, wi'h perfect candor, my reasons for advocating tiie re-union of the democratic party of our State, 1 believe that it will bo effected upon terms “fair, just and honorable,” and that it will eventuate in the suc cess and permanent triumph oftiie national dem ocratic principles. If tiiis important result is accomplished, it will be a matter of small mo ment, what may be the effect upon mere per- sonal aspirations, whether of the one or the other wing of the party. lam vours, *Szc., HOWELL COBB.

Ihe Father of President Pierce. ‘Hie following interesting anecdote of the father of President Pierce, and the era of seven ty-six is told by a correspondent of the New- York Times, writing from Lowell, (Mass.;) “Among the places of interest in tiiis vicinity is the birthplace of Benjamin Pierce, the father of tiie President. He was born in 1757, in what was then the town of Shelmsfnrd, Imt is now within the incorporated limits of Lowell. ‘ Not a vestige of the building iu which tiie family lived, or in which Governor Pierce was horn, is now to be seen : an excavation said to have been the cellar is still visible. On the memorable 10th of April, 1775, while young Pierce, about 18 years of age, was ploughing in the field, a horseman rode up to tho door of his father’s house, and delivering a brief lues sage, hastened on to alarm the country. it was the news of the battle ofLexington which tiie messenger was commissioned to proclaim ; it was soon conveyed to young Pierce ; and to ascertain whether tiie battle was then ranging, he sat down by a large rock, against which lie placed his ear and listened. lie heard, or thought he heard, the report of fire-arms ; but whether he did or did not, his ‘soul was in arms,’ and leaving his horse and plough in tiie field, lie immediately set out on foot for Lexington.— Arriving there, he found that the Britisii troops had fallen back on Boston, and following them up, lie proceeded to Cambridge, where lie en listed as a private in Col. Brook’s regiment. “He was in the midst oftiie battle at Bunker’s Hill, sharing its dangers and its glories, and irom that time to tiie close of the revolution, he followed the fortunes of his regiment, fought whenever it was called into action, aud was invariably distinguished and commended by his superior officers for his gallantry and good con duct ; and when in 1704 the army was disband ed, lie returned home with a captain’ commis sion, and his pockets filled w ith worthless con tinental money as a reward on hispatriotic servi-’ ces. “The field in which young Pierce was ploughing on the occassiou referred to is no longer cultivated, and as tiie fence fronting the public road has been removed, the curious fre quently drive over the field, and before leaving procure a piece oftiie rock, to be preserved as a relic of the revolution, (ten.
