in our western world to the short lived honors of lime he was marri ed not loiijr ago his wife i remember as one of my playmates at my first school ; she was beautiful but fragile as a leaf she died with in a year of their marriage ben was but four years my senior ; bul his grief has made him len years older lie does not say it bui his eye and figure tell it tin nurse who pul lhe purse in my hand thai dismal morning is grown a feeble old woman she was over fifty then : she may well be sev enly now she did nol know my voice when i went to her lhe other day nor did she know my lace at all she repealed the name when i told il her — paul i'aul she did nol remember any paul except a liitle boy a long while a<jo to whom you gave a purse when he went a way and told him to say nothing to lilly

ihen smooth ed down the plaits of her apron and jogged ber strings lo look tidy in the presence ol a gen lleman and she told me stories about the old house and how the people came in afterwards and she ealied me ' sir ' sometimes and sorne limes ' paul but 1 asked her only lo say paul ; she seemed glad i'or this and talked ea sier and went on lo tell of my old playmates and how we used lo ride the pony — poor jacko ! — and how we gathered nuts — such heaping piles : and how we u-sed lo play tox and geese ihrou"h the long winter evening : and how my poor mother would smile but here i asked her lo stop she could nol have gone on much longer for i believe she loved our house and people betler lhan she loved her own as lor uncle lhe cold silent man who lived with hi books in lhe house on the hill and who used to frighten me sometimes with his looks he grew very feeble alter 1 left and al most crazed the country people said that he was mad ; and isabel with her sweet heart clung lo him and would lead him onl when 1,1 step loitered lo lhe seal in lhe garden and read in him out of the books he loved to hear and sometimes they told me she would read to him some letters ihal i had wriien lo lilly or lo ben and asked him if he remembered paul who saved her from drowning under lhe i ices in lhe meadow ? but he could only shake his head and mutter something about how old and feeble he had grown they wrote me afterwards thai he died and was buried in a faraway place where his wife once lived and where he now sleeps beside her l<al,el was si rink with grief and came lo live tor a lime wilh lilly : but when they wrote me last she had gone back 10 her old home — where tray was buried — where we had play ed together so often through the long days 0 f summer 1 was glad i should fi 1 ' her du>re when i came back lilly and ben were both living neater to the cily when i landed from my long journey over the seas but stiil i went to isa be first perhaps 1 had heard so much often er irom lhe others ihal i lelt less eager lo see ihem ; or perhaps i wauled to save my best visits to ihe last ; or perhaps i did think it perhaps [ loved isabel better than ihem all so i went into the country thinking all the way how she musl have changed since 1 fell she musl be now ninleen or twenty and then her grief must have saddened her lace some what but i ihoughl i should like her all the betler for that then perhapse she would nol laugh and teas me but would lie quieter and wear a sweet smile so calm and beautiful i ihoughl her figure too must have grown more elegant and she would have grown more dignified in her air 1 shuddered a little at this for i thought she will hardly think so much ol me then ; per haps she will have those whom she likes a great deal better perhaps she will nol like in ai all ; yet i knew very well thai i should like her i had gone up almost io the house i had passed the stream where we fished on that day many years before and i thought thai now since she had grown to womanhood i should never sit with her ihere again and surely nev er drag her as 1 did out of the river and never chafe her in tie hands and never perhaps kiss ber as i did when she sat upon my moth er's lap — oh no — no — no 1 saw where she buried tray but the old slab was gone ; there was no ribbon there now i thought that at least isabel would have re placed the slab ; but it was a wrong thought - i trembled when i wenl op to lhe door — lor il flashed upon me ihat pei haps — isabel was i married i could not tell why she should not ; i but i knew it would make me uncomlurlable to i hear lha she had there was a lull woman who opened the | door she did not know tne ; bul i recognised her ' as one of lhe old servants i asked afier the • i house keeper first thinking i would supprise isabel my he.irt fluttered some what thinking ; she mi^ht step in suddenly herself or perhapse ihat she might have seen me coming up the bill but even ihen 1 thought she would hardly know me presently the housekeeper came in looking very grave : she asked if the gentleman wished lo see her the crenlieman did wish it and she sat down on one side ot the fire tor t was autumn and the leaves were falling and the november wind were very chilly shall i tell her — though i — who i am and ask at once for isabel ? i tried to ask — bul it was hard lor me to rail her name ; it was very sirange — bul i could nol pronounce it a all who sir v said the housekeeper in a voice so earnest that 1 rose at once and crossed the room and took her hand : you know me said i you surely remember paul v \ she started wiih surprise but recovered her self and resumed the grave manner i nought 1 had committed some mistake or been in snmi way cause of oflvii'-e 1 called lor madam and asked lor isabel she turned pale — terribly pale bella said she yes bella sir bella is dead i dropped into my chair i said not a word the housekeeper bless her kind heart i passed noiselessly out my hands were over ! my eyes the winds were sishing outside and the clock ticking mournfully within __ ' i did nol sob nor weep nor utter any sound the clock ticked mournfully and the birds were singing ; but i did not hear ihem any long j er ; there was a tempest raging within me that would have drowned the voice of thunder it broke at length in a long deep sigh — oh : god !' — said i il may have been a prayer ; it was not an imprecation bella — sweet bella was dead ! it seemed as ' i if wiihout her half the world was dead — every bright face was darkened — every sunshine blot ; led out — every flower withered — every hope : ! extinguished ! i walked out into he air and stood under the j trees where we had played together with poor ! tray — where tray lay buried but it was not j tray i thought of as i stood there with lhe cold i wind playing through my hair and my eyes til i licg wiih tears how could she die ? why ; was she gone 1 was it really true wasi | bella indeed dead — in her coffin — buried — then why should anybody live what was | there to live for now that bella was gone ah what a gap in the world is made by the j ; death of those we love ! it is nr longer whole ; i but a poor half world ihat swings uneasy on its ] ' axis and makes you dizzy wiih the clatter ol its wreck tho housekeeper told me all little by little as i found calmness to listen she had been . leatl.ii month ; lilly was with her through it all , she died sweetly without pain and without fear ' — what can angels fear she had spoken of ten of cousin paul ; she had a parquet for him but it was nol ihere ; she had given it into lil j ' ly's keeping her grave the housekeeper told me was on ly a little way off irom her home — beside the j ' grave of a brother who died long years before i went there that evening the mound was high and fresh the sods had not closed to gelher and the dry leaves caught in the crevi ces and gave a ragged and terrible look to the grave the next day i laid them all smooth — as we had once laid them on the grave ol'tray ; — i clipped he long grass ajid set a tuft of blue violets at the foot and watered it all wilh tears the homestead lhe trees the fields ihe mead ows — in the windy november looked dismally i coulb not like ihem again 1 liked nothing but lhe liitle mound that i had pressed over bella's grave — there she sleeps — the sleep of death another

burwell temple the following article in relation to the crisis the advocate is an independent neutral paper and what it says is therefore entitled to the atten tive consideration of men of both par ties then follows the article which we do not copy simply because it i.s unimportant what we are at a loss to understand is why the remarks of the advocate are entitled to any additional weight because it is an " independent neutral paper — we have some recollection of a pospec tus of the advocate published a year a go or more in which the rev editor bound himself to oppose with minht and main internal improvements sons of temperance and all other things of a like pernicious tendency the standard is decidedly in favor of state improvements — especially the n c rail raid now since the

texas the people there as a general thing were not much given to religion an itinerant preacher happened along in the neighborhood during ihis dearth of religion and set about repairing the walls of zion in good earnest but his success was poor not over half a dozen could be got together at his sunday meetings determined however to create an inter est before leaving the neighborhood he procured printed handbills and had them posted up in every conspicuous place in the district which read to the following effect : " religious notice the rev mr bla ney will preach next sunday in demp sey's grove at 10 o'clock a m and at 4 p m providence permitting between the services the preacher will run his sor rel mare julia against any nag that can be trotted out in this region for a purse of five hundred dollars i this had the desired effect people flocked irom all quarters and the anxiety to see the singular preacher was even greater than lhe excitement following the challenge he preached an elegant ser mon in the morning and after dinner he brought out his mare for the race the purse was made up by live or six of the planters and an opposing nag produced the preacher rode his little sorrel and won the day amid the deafening shouts screams and yells of the delighted people the congregation all remained to the af ternoon service and at its close more than two hundred joined the church ; some from motives of sincerity some for the novelty of the thing some from excite ment and some because the preacher was a good fellow the finale of the affair was as flourishing a society as can be found in the whole region thereabouts spirit of llic times late accounts from lhe rio grande repre sent that great excitement prevailed there in consequence of lhe mexicans having refused to deliver up a runaway slave an armed par ty oftexans threatened lo capture presidio the bloomer dress a correspondent of the n y day book writing from bos ton june 27th says : the bloomers are on the

of our siate we can bear high and faithful testimony to your eminent social worth as well as your ex alted political virtues as the head of a most important and interesting department of the national government we feel gratified by the abil ity and impartiality with which it has been administered by you and espe cially do we admire the unflinching zeal and ellicient labor and the enlightened talent with which you have defended the great and noble cause of the constitution and the union we have the honor to invite you to par take of a public dinner at such time as will suit your

despatch denies me the pleasure of ac cepting your very kind and obliging invi tation in behalf of my friends in ral eigh to a public dinner i however beg those by whom it i.s tendered to be as sured that i received it as new manifes tation nf their friendly regard and of the hospitality of a community towards which i shall ever cherish grateful recollection not merely on account of tiie kind offices good neighborhood experienced during my residence among them but of asocial intercourse which dates back almost to my boyhood and enrols among the citi zens of raleigh many of my most esteem ed and trusted friends to retain their good opinion will be to me always among the comforts of life as well as an assur ance that whatever my furtune may be stow has been obtained by no derogatory or unworthy means you have been pleased gentlemen to refer in terms more complimentary than deserved to my humble services in the administration of a department of the go vernment and in the cau<e ofthe consti tution and the union called suddenly and unexpectedly from the retirement of private life to an important and respon sible trust at a time of much excitement on national affairs i did not hesitate to accept a distinction which i conceived to be tendered in my person to the steadfast and loyal character of my native state rather than to the qualifications ofthe in dividual and if there has been any thing in the manner of discharging the duties of my post which is at all worthy ofthe commendation in which you indulge ir is attributable mainly to the lessons learned in her schools and some little experience in the conduct of her affairs my leisure will not allow such a pre sentation of my views on the present state of the country as would be agreeable to me were it my power to meet you as pro posed by your invitation i cannot how ever forbear to say that in my opinion the settlement of the vexed questions a rising out of the acquisition of territory from mexico and the relations between the slaveholding and non slaveholding states commonly called the compromise acts of 1850 ought to be regarded in all sections as a final adjustment as upon its faithful observance most mainly de pend the peace and quiet of the country whilst it has not effected every thing which our own section might bave insist ed on or desired it still in my judgment places our peculiar interests under a se curer protection than they have enjoyed for the last twenty years not to men tion the rejection of the wilmot proviso from the territorial bills of utah and new mexico bv a decisive vote ot tl.e ilouse of representatives after the long protracted contest year after year upon abolition petitions it was an acquisition ot no trifling importance to obtain such an enactment as the fugitive slave law — true it does nothing more than enforce | the covenant of the constitution but it i is a legislative acknowledgment ot our ! rights and the provision of a sanction for their observance such as j fear could not have been procured for many years pre ceding but this is but a part of the benefit — . the judiciary of the fnited states sus tains this law in spirit and intent tbe justices and judges both ot the higher and inferior courts have every where met the responsibilities imposed upon them by it and in a manner and with an ability learning and fortitude worshy of the die , eiples and successors of joan marshall — they have not only maintained it in exe cution but vindicated i in elaborate char ges to the juries which they have caused lo be published for general information w e are a people of precedents and of habitual reverence for the opinions of the judiciary under the high sanct ons of of ficial oaths these judicial addresses will do far more to correct vitiated pub lic opinion at the non than all the ar guments of statesmen or politicians on the moor of congn ss nor is this ail the executive of the i oiled states stands ready in every case legally requiriug it to firing the military powi r to the aid <. ;' ihe civil otiuer in the execution of this law and live i shall not be restrained by any apprehension of being houghs guilty of adulation by the censorious few from doing an act of jus tice to the chief y of a nation in bearing my testimony o the clear ness in his great office with which be has trodden the path of duty in reg rd to this statute wiihout usurpation ostenta tion or evasion without vanity fear or reproach such concurrent action on the part of every department of the federal government not only gives to us the pro tection of a public authority but cannot but have a salutary effect in bringing back the people of the non slaveholding states to a sense of their obligations un der lhe constitution and convince those who are sincere that instead of conscience ! requiring their aid in the escape of the slave or a passive indifference in regard io him it demands that they shall give their assistance in all proper eases for his recapture and surrender need i add that a large part ofthe press the pulpit and the puhlic men ol the north at the . head of whom stands the great expounder of the constitution are also on cjrsidein this contest while these good influences arc at work on our behalf in the non-slaveholding ; states and the government throws over ; us the shield of its protection in main : taining the compromise it is with un feigned regret that i perceive in our own section ofthe country some who while ; professing a willingness to abide by it i disparage it in such terms as to persuade i all others not to do so ; others who regard it as of no effect and are ready to reagi . tale the whole subject of slavery ad in finitum : while others denounce it as a most intolerable grievance making a real casus bt hi and justifying a revolution of the government under the name ol se cession i cannot discuss these various positions but it cannot escape observation that tbe advocates of all three of them are most anxious to obtain a recognition of the doc trine that a state may at pleasure secede from rhe union mil that after such de claration of secession there is no longer any power in the government of the i ui ted states to enforce lhe laws of the united states within our limits their anxiety and zeal for this doctrine in theo rv places the two classes ot persons first adverted to in the same category with the practical secessionist if the lact be un deniable that one is tor immediate scces sion and another solicitous to have his right recognized to do so with impunity it is difficult to perceive low he could ' more effectually aid and encourage him to that fatal result nor can i dwell on the doctrine of se cession further lhan to say that it is ut terly inconsistent with and repugnant to the constitution of tie i fnited suites ; and that it was fully discussi i and in my opin ion refuted along with nullification in the winter l"-.'{-j !. i cn:iiis no abatement of vigilance over the true rights ot the south and shall be the last to surrender the right of rev olution should aggressions and grievan ces ari<e to justify it i trust however that if such a state of things shall ever occur we shall make an out and out re volution which shall leave no room for doubt and entrap no man's conscience — in the meantime by faithfully adhering to the terms of adjustment agreed on in the compromise a - exertions and sacrifice's of patriots of both the great par ties winch have divided th country we shall entitle ourselves to have them in like manner observe ar.d kept on lhe part of our northern brethren and in the event of a last appeal alter a lailuie in our just expectations we would stand jus tified to ourselves and before the judg ment of mankind i ton lly hope howev er that
