The Girl with the Calico Dress.
BY ROBERT JOSELYN.
A fig for your upper-ten girls
With their Tel vet and satin and laces,
Thsir diamonds and rubies and pearls,
And their milliner ligurea and faces;
They may shine at a party or hall,
Emblazoned with half they possess,
Bui give me in place of litem all,
sly girl with the calico dress.
She is plnrap as a partridge, and fair
A s rose in its earliest hluom;
Her teeth will with ivory compare,
Jnd her breath with the clover perfume,
Her step is as free and as light
Aa lite fawn's whom the hunters hard press
Aw her eye is as sort and as bright,
My girl with the calico dress.
Your dandies and foplings may sneer,
At her simple and mo lest attire.
But the charms she permits to appear.
Would set a whole iceberg on tire.
She can dance hut she never allow
The hugging, the squeeze and caress,
She is saving all these lor her spouse,
My girl Willi the calico drtss.
She is cheerful, warm-hearted and true,
And kind to her father and mother;
She studies how much she can do
For her sweet little sisters and brother.
If you want a companion for life,
To comfort, enliven and bless,
She Is just the right sort of a wife,
My girl with the calico dross.

Do you ever think of Death, reader f Do you
reuitze that your warm heart, full of gushing eino.
lions, that your lithe frame aud pliant, active limbs,
shall one day bo aa tho dust you so disdainfully
tread f Dj you comprehend its power, it? insati
able demands for life, its stern, unwavoring aim,
which strikes from your side your dearest earthly
friend, change the cup of bliss for one of "worm
wood mixed with gall," and turns your golden
custle aud glorious " rose-garden " iuto a wide
and barren castle, with no cooling shadows save
those cast by the deadly upas f
Have yon ever thought of the many who have
lived, loved, joyed, and 'orrowcd.and perhaps spent
a more useful, anil less sinful life than your own :
who, in the midst of their g'ory, while their brows
were heavy with green and budding honors, and
their highest hopes, and mo3t cherished wishes
were about to be realized, have been overthrown,
and trampled bjnouth tho unflinching hoofs of the
" Pale Horse " guided with unerring certainty of
aim, by the firm hand of his more terrible rider,
whose only command is " pajs ye away ?'
I had a garden once a dear and cherished
spot where cultivated (he flowers which spring
up besdo Lifts pathway to beautify and adorn
it, to smooth the rough places, so that when
the storms come, as they sometimes will to all, rose
leaves us well as dry sand may be cast upon us, and
alas ! loo olten to foster hidden thorns the flow
ers of the heart. How I loved those flowers !
When they were faint and dying 1 caressed them
back to life, and by nourishing cure, brought the
bloom to their fueled petals.
Theru was one I almost worshiped, it was so
very bj.iiiiir.il in rieh cri.ii.wn, yet ever varying
hues its magnificent form, its peaceful, stately
head, all combined to make it seem a thing of life,
aud
' Ensnared by iu beauty, I bowel to the shrine."
lis name was ioue ! Is it, or is it not strange
that t!u golden winged goj should come lo me, a
pjor, plain, nuco'itli, illiterate "country girl f
Enough to say it did 0:113, and plouted a flower of
its own lutnre in my imaginary "rose-garden." It
grew it flourished it was watered with tears of
"joy unspeakable, " and the gentle breezes which
fauned it iuto life were waited from another hand
lhan mine. Alas ! Death has palsied that hand,
yet, e'er that it grew chillingly cold to me, and a
glaueo from those dark eyes, that had grown so
stern ami cold to mo, an I not in death, was enough
to wither that glorious flower forever.
Djalh entered my "rose-gardeu" with nnfalter-

for a moment that I have found my lost darling,
but as olten I find it only a hollow s-'inblancu.
Far away, in u quiet, secluded place, iu Drcumlaud
is the only spot wiiere I ever see my fli,ver now.
Like nearly all other things I ever loved, it has
passed away. I vainly try to .grasp ihat Heeling
showhappiness but tho phantom glides away
or remains only till I discover that I have been
taking to my heart only a vaiu delusion.
Life is a mystery, a solemn and wonderful mys
tery, and iu it, as dream within dreams, am oilier
mystries, and the greatest of these is Love. "We
love," many apply to the whole world. Each one
of the human family has some particular object
on which to place tneir ofleetiotu. S!iov dm the
person who can say truly that he - does not love
anything and I'll show you a denio.i. It may be
ouly a whim, a sirange caprice, an absurd belief,
a egruude passion," a flower, a bird, a horse, or
any pet, yet wo mint all love so mething, or io

On Entering the
BY M. HOWARD.
I would beg teare to drop s. word, to the gsy
and thuus-hlless throng, who are in ue habit of
spending their leisure time in the Churchyard ;
Ihe sleeping place of our sacred dead. There is
nothing more common, at the prejsnt time.than
after church, on Sabbath evening, to take a walk
to tne graveyard, there to view the graves, end
read the inscriptions on those who rest in that
till.sacred spot. But do you open the gate with
becoming ihonghtfiilness? do you sp,iak low and
with becoming reverence of those, whose dear
remains are deposited here ? Do you step softly
among those ihat rest here, as though you fear to
disturb their slumbers?
Here lie all ages, from the bu lling infant to
the silver-haired old man; here lie youth, beauty,
and Ihe heirs of weilth; tha pleasure-taker, and
the child of sorrow and poverty; the care-worn
mother, after years of sorrow, rusfs here. Move
quietly; 'tis the resting place of the dead, and is
marked by tho eye of God. Oh, how my heart
has ached, to witness the rude conduct of'many,
while in the cem.lery loud, vain talk, laughing
and stumbling over he graves as thoiig'ilUss as
the brute creation, plucking from the Rose, the
Ivy and the Evergreen, the buds planted by
the hands of affection, as an emblem of love.
How dare you take this privilege T Pause and
reflect. Vou torn will b: numbered with the
pale nations of Ihe dead, and would ynii not re
coil with horror from Ihe one. who wnul.l dese
crate jor grave f I would say to every parent
that, it is your duty to lecture your families on
Ihis siibj-ct. I feel deeply interested in th.s
subject on which I write.
Open tli.it gat.o with a steady hand,
l'roceed in thotiglnrul mood.
The holy dead are sls-tpin there;
Wake not their solitude.
I left my home when a thoughtless boy
In a distant land to roam.
But the brightest gem that shone In that land
w as the hope of returning home. '
I reached my homo with a grsteful heart
ifud eagerly longed to press '
The hand of my father warmly In mine.
And feel his fond caress.
But the angel of death has summoned him home.
To dwell in the land of the blest
And they buried him here, in the gravo-yard near
Disturb not his sacred rest.
With reverence pass, where my father rests,
His grave may he plainly seen,
For his erring boy has marked it well.
With the growing Evergreen.
Touch not that grave, ye thoughtless ones!
By the eyo of tied yon're seen,
Nor pluck li oiu his tomb, a blade of grass.
Nor Uiat sacred Evergreen.

Republican State Convention.
COLUMBUS, Aug. 12, 1857.
Atten o'clock this morning the Convention met
in the Theatrsand wan called to order by Un.
Wm. Denntson. Jr., of Columbus, Chairman of Ihe
State Central Committee, and on motion Hon. Da
vid Hiaton nf Bulier county, was elected Chair
man pro t'-m
Mr. Heatuu, ou taking the chair, remarked as
follows :
This call to preside over the preliminary delib
erations of this great Convention has been with
out a moment's notice, and totally unexpected. I
confess that I feel the responsibility of the posi
tion, and deeply appreciate the honor that has
been conferred.
At other times it has been my lot lo meet wi h
the Representatives of the people, at the capital
of this great commonwealth, to consult for the
public good, but this occasion transcends all oth
ers in importance.
Never, since Ihe d iys of tho North Amorican
Revolution, has there been a pe'iod nf such deep
anduverwhelminif intetest to the Am.iiean peo
ple. Oar ?ood old Constitution, framed by our
enerated Fathers, has been trampled in ths dust.
Instead tif being an instrument to extend the in
finite blessings of LinmtTr, it has been disirrace
fudy constructed by an ixtsa Judicial decision,
to be a most potent weapon to extend the giant
evils of Human Slavery. The sentiments of our
eminent jurists and statesmen havo been spurned
with c .utetnpt. In the ahued name nf Djmoeruey,
Slavery is now to be ex'.ended to ail the Territo
ries of the Union. To satisfy the craving appetite
of the Stave power of the South, a war is to be
com.nenced on the lab ir of the while man.asdia
graceful as it is imp ii allelsd in cruelty. To turn
back this swelling tide of tyranny and oppression,
is the noble niissiou and ilia high purpose of tha
Republican party.
In the intelligent and earnest countenances I
B.w see, before me, there is a sure promise of a
mighty revolution for the public good. 1 he tiirhts
of Ohio, the "lirst h.iruof the Ordinance of 'a','
which have been so basely treited by the powers
at Mfashintoi, will he gloriously Vindicated by
this day's work.
One short week aijo this very spot was offered
as a willing sacrifice to the tuoloch of Slavery,
to dayi t is made redolent with the shouts of un
conquerable freemen I hat us act unitedly and
riruiiy, and our jjallant Stare will stand at the
heal ot the Republican pirty.
I think you most cordially for this distinguish
ed honor
As soon as the Committees had been appointed,
there was a call from all parta of the house for Sen
ator Wade. Mr. Wade came fjrward at the call
and spoke for nearly an hour.
MR. WADE'S SPEECH.
Mr. Wade said : A Republican ought to be al
ways ready to give his evidence for th. faith that
is in him. We know whst we all come here for.
It has been said by the Chairman that since the
days of the revolution no mora important ques
tions have arisen than those the cousideratiou of
which has brought us here. The remark was true
aidjuat. No man who has taken cogniaance ;of
events of lateysirs, who h,.s not been impressed
with the fact that the priucipbs of the Declaration
of Independence, tho principles which the men of
that day wrote down from their hearta, have been
receded from that there has been a reaction go
ing on. A reaction from the God given principles
of freedom of '7(i,to those of an opposite character
in this our day.
Here Mr. Oiddings suggested that the commit
tees which had been appointed had better retire
and attend to their duties, and leave the Conven
tion in session to listen to ihe speaker.
Joseph M. Root said that was all very well, but
tha committees didn't wauttj retire, they wanted
Mr. Wade proceeded. H i said he was trying to
call the attention of the Uuuvontion to the reac
tion which has been going on for the last ten years
against tbe principles of the Declaration of Inde
peudence until now it had reached its worst point,
its lowest depth. He said ho believed the De
claration of indepeudencato be tha voice of Al
mighty God speaking through his created beings
iu.a formula of words It revealed nothing th. t
was not as old as the Bible; the self i vident truths
of the unive.saliiy of man', rights to sell' govern
ment, and yet there are men iuour day, wbo ear
that what u.a Fathers of the Revuluiion there
declared lo be self-e vident truths were in fact seif
ev.iieut llus.
This has been done even In tho TTntm.l
Senate by a so called Democratic Senator, and ho
thought when ho heard him thus speak, that there
were signs ol applause Irom tile other Senators
that party. What would hive been l houj rhl of the
man wno in iu, nau uriseu in in.Mr Congress and
opposed Ihe Declaration, and had called the pro
position mil ail man Were bum equal, Ate., a self
evident lie ? Hi would have btou regarded as a
lory, and he Would have been aa perfee. atury as
ever was tarred aud lea'hered.
