February 27, 1857,
My Father.
BT nOX. HENRY R. JACKSON, OF GE3BGIA.
As die the embers on the hearth,
And o'er the floor the shadows fall,
And creeps tbe chirping cricket forth,
And ticks the death-watch in the wall
I see a form on yonder chair,
That grows beneath the waning light
There are the wan, sad features there,
The pallid brow, and locks of white!
My Father! when they laid thee down,
And heapi-d the clay upou thy breast,
And left th e leeping all aloii.
Upon thr narrow couch of rest,
I know not why I cou.d njt weep
The soothing drops refused to roll ;
And oh ! thai grief is wild and deep.
Which settles tearless on the soul !
But when 1 saw thy vacant chair
Thine id'e hat upon the wall
Thy book the peuciilfd passage, where,
1 hi ne eyes hud rested, last ol all ;
The tree beneath whose friendly shade.
The trembling feet hud wuudered lorth
Tue very prims those feet had made
When last they feebly trod the earth ;
And thought, while countless ages tied,
Thy vacant seat would vacant stand
Unworn thy hat, thy book unread.
Effaced thy footsteps from the sand
And widowed, in this cheerless world.
The heart that gave its love to thee
Torn, like a vine, wbtse tendrils curled
More cluseiy round the lulling- tree!
Oh ! Father, then, for her and thee,
Gushed madly forth the scorching tears,
And oil, and long, and bitterly.
Those tears have gushed in later years;
For, as tlie world grows coid around.
And things take on their real hue,
'T s sud to learn . hut love is found
Ah.ne above tbe stars with vou.
A Bov th t had a Heakt. A French paper
says, that Lucil.e iioiiie, a pit-tty girl with blue eyes
ai.d fair hair, poorly but neatly clad, was brought
before the SixlU Court ot Coireclion on the charge
of vagrancy.
"Does any one claim you?" asked the magis
trate. " Ah 1 my good sir,' said she, " I have no longer
any friends; my father and mother are dead I have
only my brother James, but he is as young as I am.
0, sir; what can he do tor me?"
" Here I am, sister ; here I am ! do not fear !'
cried a childish voice from the other end of the
court. At the same instant a little boy with a live
ly countenance started from ao.idst the crowd and
stood before the judge
" Who are you?"' said he.
"James Rome, the brother of that poor little
girl."
Your age ?"
" Thirteen."
' Antl what do you want ?"
" I came to claim my Lucille."
" But have you the means of providing for her V
Yesterday I had none, but now I have. Don't
be afraid, Lucille."
' 0, how good you are, James !"
Well, let us see, my boy," said the magistrate,
" the court is disposed to do ail that it can fur your
6is;er. But you must give us some explanation."
" About a fortnight ago, sir, continued the boy,
mr poor mother died of a bad cough, tor it was very
ald at home. We were in great trouble. Then 1
Said to myself, I will become an artisan, and, when
I know a gix d trade, will support my sister. I went
an apprentice to a brushm.aki.-r. Every day I used
to carry her half my tOnner, and at night 1 took her
secretly to my room, and she slept on the bed while
I slept on tue floor. But it appears she had not
enough to eat. One day she begaed on the Boule
vard, and was taken up. When I heard that, lsaid
to myself, Come, my hoy, things cniinol last so ; you
must find something better. I soon found a good
place where I am lodged, led, and clothed, and have
twenty francs a month. I have also found a good
woman, who, for those twenty francs, wiil take care
of Lucille, and teach her kuecdle-work. I claim my
sister."
" My boy," said the. judge, "your conduct is very
honorable. However, your sister cannot be set at
liberty till to-morrow."
"Never mind, Lucille," said the boy, "I will
come and fetch you early to-morrow." Then turn
ing to the magistrate, be' said, " I may kiss her, may
I not, sir?"
He then threw himself into the arms of his sister,
and both wept warm tears of affection.
Dewdrops of Wisdom. Troth, by whomsoever
spoken, comes from God. It is, in short, a divine
essence.
The mere imitator is no more an artist than the
mere chronicler of events from tbe gazette, is a his
torian. Perfect love reposes on the object of its choice,
like the halcyon on the wave, and the air of heaven
is around it!
Contentment gives its own complexion to every
day occurrences, and imparts light where otherwise
there would be darkness.
Fine art has nothing to do with imitation, its prin
ciple is to produce in the mind the same ideas which
the things sought to be represented produce, but al
ways in another way.
the only books we really learn from, are those
which we are unable to judge of, understand and
ctiticise. The author of a book which we can appre
c;ate and criticise, is our scholar, not our master.
The perversions of the best things can be turned
into the worst, a in the most wholesome roots and
herbs there is some component part which can be
extracted and subtil zed into a deadly poison.
I was said, and very beautifully said, that " one
man's wit becomes all men's wisdom." Even more
true is it that one man's virtue become a standard
liii h raises our anticipation oi possible goodness in
all men.
A man of a weak, complying disposition, whom
no one fears, no one will be at the troub'e to oppose;
"liile a man of strong and tixed character will be
liable to opposition, at least from those who expect
to deiive a certain kind of importance from tbe dig
nity of their adversary.
'Jimmy, are your folks all well ?"
'Yes, ma'am, all but Sally Ann?"
'Why, what's the matter with her ?"
()h, nothing, particular only she had the hoopin'
c iugli once, and she haint never got over it The
c 'igh ain't any account now, but she has the hoop
de-perate.'
He who receives a good turn should never forget
it; aud he who does oue should never remember it
Vol. VII.
Franklin Asking fob Work. When quite a
youth, Franklin went to London, entered a printing
office, and and inquired if he could-get employment
as a printer.
" Where are you from ?" inquired the foreman.
1 Amei ica," was the reply.
" Ah," said the foreman, " from America ! a lad
from America ' seeking employment as a printer!
Well, do you really understand the art of printing ?
Can yon set type r"
Franklin stepped to one of the cases, and, in a
very brief space, set up the following passage from
the first chapter of the Gospel of John :
" Nathaniel saith unto him, ran any good thing
come out of Nazereth ? Philip saith unto him, come
and see?"
It was done so quickly, so accurately, and con
t 'ined a delicate reproof, so Appropriate and power
ful, that it at once gave him character and standing
with all in the office.
At a political meeting in Pike county, Pennsylva
nia, while the committee were out writing resolu
tions, a sturdy old farmer, rose and addressed tbe
chair : .
Mr. PresiuVnf, mout I say a word?' asked he.
The meeting will be proud to hear from you, Mr.
Subsoil.'
Well, Mr. Presi7i, endnrin of the time the com
mittee's out awhVnl you tell all how you've, bed
ded yotir 'taturit ?'
There was a great laugh at Subsoil's expense, but
this question involved a matter of more practical
importance than such as often come before political
uieelings.
TiikBoys. A writer ol the Independent has been
devoting an essay to hoys. He says:
"Tbe real livis of boys are yet to be written.
The dialogues of our great publishing societies.resem
bles a real boys life about as much as a chicken pick
ed and larded upon a spit and ready for delicious
eating resembles a free fowl in the fields. With
some few honorable exceptions, they are impossible
boys, with incredible goodness. Apples that r ipen
long before their time are either diseased or worm
bitten." The following resolutions were passed by the
Board of Council nun in Canton, Mississippi:
'1. Resolved by this Council that we build a new
jail.
'2. Resolved that the new jail be built out of the
materials of the old jail.
'3. R solved that the old jail be used until the new
jail is finished.'
Could Dublin or Cork beat that ?
It is told that when Minister Miles prayed for
rain, he lett nothing uncertain. He said : "0. Lord
thou knowest we do not want thee to send us rain
wh chshali pour down in fury, and swell our streams,
and sweep away our hay-cocks, and fin.-es and
bi i 'ges, but, Lord, we want it to come drizzle, droz
zie, Urvzzte, lor about a week Amen."
" I remember," says the celebrated Wesley,
" hearing my father say to mother, 'How could you
have the patience to tell that block-head the same
thing twenty times over?'
' Why,' said she, ' if I told him but nineteen times.
I should have lost all my labor."
Ccriois Mode of Introducing Liquor. The Tar
tars pull a man by the car w hen they want him to
drink in J keep pulling until he opens h 8 mouth, when
they pour down the liquor. We know some folks
whose ears would not require much pulling.
Great Invention. A Yankee down in Maine has
invented a machine which, besides hoeing potatoes,
driving the cows to pasture, nnd curing consump
tion, tells the exact ages of Adam and Eve at the
time they received " notice to quit Eden,"
"Sam is my cofTee hot?" cried an old bachelor to
his servant.
" I guess not massa I spit in h'.m, and be no
sizzle," replied Sam.
"I am going to the post office. Bob; shall I en
quire for you ?" ' Well, yes, if you have a mind
to, but I don't think you will find me there."
" Is them old fellows alive now ?" said an urchin
to his teacher. " What old persons do you mean,
my dear ?" " Wh, Paul and Luke, and Deuteron
omy, and them."
Splendid qualities break forth in dark times like
lightning from a thundercloud.
Too much sensibility creates unhappiness ; too
much insensibility cteates crime.
Farmers, remember, it will cost less in the end to
make a good fence than a poor one.

IN OFFERING TO THE PUBLIC MY MAGAZINE," Ir
claim for the Editorial Chair no superiority over Mat:
department of other like Periodicals; but I do claim for tbe a
talent of North-Carolina, and the South generally, that will;
be brought to its support, Southern patronage, . And I ajeo,
as a Southern man, and the Editor of a Sontbern Magazine,
claim at the ban Is of tbe Southern. oouatry; and espeoiaJly
of North-Carolina, that aid and sapport that will Were, ai '
home, establish, upon a firm basis, a fountain of Literature, f
and exclusively a Home Literary Magacine. . ' I
Many are tbe Magaxines now published in tbe Northern
States that are flading tbe whole Southern c entry. There 1
is not (it is probable.) a county in any Southern Stat that f
is not visited by "Harper." " Graham,'' "Peterson,,
" Godey ;" while here, in North-Carolina and the South,
where genius unsurpassed and nnequaled reigns, the litera
ry talent that is brought into exercise is dedicated to the '
support of Northern Magazines, while Souther enterprise
taste and talent bow in humble submission to such suicidal
policy of Southern contributors. -.'
Why, I ask, canuot r North-Carolina. the South send
greeting to our Southern clime, a Magazine eoeptablefor the .
many qualities that adorn the pages f taettoat chaste, ele
gant and polite Periodicals It is true that thntSonth has her
Magazines ; but few in number are ibraad nknewn, ,
compared to tbe publications of the Nortk.'wbiob every
mail brings to our homes, filled with tbe rflrtut ef hired la- '
bor, and teeming with unpardonable seditioni-'' - :
Then I appeal to North-Carolina and ether Southern
States to aid me in my enterprise, and in pAmoting lite'
rary taste amongst those upon whom, aa a Soathern man, f
I have claims. -X' -- ' ".
My Magazine will be of the usual size; and nothing will i
be admitted to its prigca but such articles' as will meet the
