WELCOME AS FLOWERS IX MAY.
it day's declining a maid sat twining
A garland shining with wild flowers gay;
Jut her heart it was sore, and the tears swelled
o'er
Her eye at the door on that eve in May.
'And take," she cried to her young heart's pride,
From your plighted bride, on this holy day,
\ true-love token of fond vows spoken
That may not be broken?these flowers of May.
'Tn life and in death, if you hold to your faith,
Keep ever this wreath,'twill be sweet in decay ;
Zome poor or with weaith, come in sickness or
health,
To my heart you'll be welcome as flowers in
Way.
'Yet oh! if ever, when wide seas sever
Our hearts, you waver in faith to me,
A true Irish maid will never upbraid
Affections betrayed?from that hour you're free.
4I set small store upon gold in ore,
I'll not love you the more for your wealth from
the sea;
The hand that will toil on our own loved soil,
Free from crime or from spoil, is the hand for
me!"
The blessing half spoken, her fast tears spoke,
And strong sobs broke the yoong man's prayer.
One bleeding of hearts and the you*h departs?
The maid weeps alone in uie silent air.
Full many a score that young maid counted o'er
Of day-dawns and night-fells?a year to the day;
When sadly once more, at the seat by the door,
Stood the youth as tefore, on that eve in May.
For the love of that maid, wherever she strayed,
Kept his soul from stain and his hands from
guilt;
Like an angel from God, till his feet retrod
The cherished sod where his first love dwelt
bring you no store of the bright gold ore,
But, poor as before, I return to decay ;
For my bride I've no wealth but broken health,
Hopes withered and dead as these flowers of
May."
The maiden has pressed her true love to her breast)
Her joyful haste no doubts delay ;
In his arms she sighs,u 'Tis yourself I prize,
To my heart you are welcome asJlowers in May!'*

A TOUCHING STORY.
'Hie following effective narrative purports to
? .... l.. - / _.! 1;:.. ?
have ueen given uy a miner iu ma suu, no n
warning derived from his own bitter experience
of the sin of grieving and resisting a mother's
love and counsel.
"What agony was visible on my mother's
face when she saw that all she said and suffered,
failed, to move me! She rose to go home,
and 1 followed at a distance. She spoke no
more to me till she reached her own door.
It is school time now,' said she. 'Go my
son, and let me once more beseech you think
upon what I have suid.'
'I shan't go to school,' said I.
She looked astonished ut my boldness, but
replied firmly.
'Certainly you will go, Alfred, I command
you.'
'I will not!' said I, with a tone of defiance.'
'One of two things you must do, Alfred?
either go to school this moment, or I will lock
?i i .t tin ......
yOU III your ruuui, aim bccji juu nn-itj tm juu
ure ready to promise implicit obedience to my
wishes in future.'
I dare you do it,' said I, 'you can't get me
up stairs.'
'Alfred, choose now,' said my mother who
[aid her hand on iny arm. She trembled violently
and was deadly pale.
'If you touch me, I will kick you,' said I, in
i terrible rage, (j'od knows I knew not what
I said.
'Will you go, Alfred?'
'No,' I replied, but quailed beneath her eye.
'Then follow me,' said she, as she grasped
ny arm firmly. I raised my loot ?oh, my son
bear me!?I raised my foot and kicked her?
ny sainted mother. How my head reels, as
:he torment of memory rushes over me! I
cicked my mother?a feeble woman?my mother.
She staggered back a few steps arid lean
id against the wall. She did not look at inc.
[ saw her heurt beat against her breast. 'Oh !
leavenly father/ she cried, ' forgive him he
mows not what he does!'
The gardener just then passed the door and
jeeing my mother pale and almost unable to
support herself, ho stopped, she beckoned him
n. 'Take this boy up stairs and lock him in
lis own room,' said she, and turned from me.
Looking back us she was entering her room,
ihe gave me such a look?it will forever follow
lie?it was u look of a^ony, mingled with the inensest
love?it was the last, unutterable pang
>f a heart that was broken.
In a moment I found myself a prisoner in
ny own room. I thought for a moment, I
vould ding myself irom the open window and
lash my brains out hut 1 felt afraid to die. 1
vas not penitent. At times my heart was sublued,
but my stubborn pride rose in an instant,
...? vtuKi The uale face of my moth

haunted inc. I flung myself on the bed and
ell asleep.
Just at twilight I heard a foot step approach
ho door. It was my sister.
'What may I tell mother from you ?' she
isked.
'Nothing,' I replied.
'Oh, Alfred, for my sake, for all our sakes,
say that you are sorry?let me tell mother that
you are sorry. She longs to forgive you. <
I would not answer. I heard her footsteps
slowly retreating, and again I flung myself on
the bed to pass another wretched and fearful
night.
Another footstep, slower and feebler than
my sister's disturbed me. A voice called me
by name. . It was my mother's.
'Alfred, my son, shall I come in 1 Are you
sorry for what you have done ?'
I cannot tell what influence, operating at
* * I - ? fr>a,i Ir iirtvprsp t/i mv

I feelings. The gentlo voice of my mother that
thrilled through ine, melted the ice from my
obdurate heart, and I longed to throw myself
on her neck but I did not. But my words
gave the lie to my heart, when I said I was not
sorry. I heard her withdraw. I heard her
groan. 1 longed to call her back, but did not.
I was awakened from my uneasy slumber,
by hearing my name called loudly, and my sister
stood by my bedside.
'Get up, Alfred. Oh, don't wait a minute.
Get up, and come with me. Mother is dying.'
I thought 1 was yet dreaming, I got up melancholy
and followed my sister. On the bed,
pale and cold as marble, lay my mother. She
had not undressed. She had thrown herself on
the bed to rest; arising to go again to me, she
was seized with a palpitation of the heart; and
borne senseless to her room.
I cannot tell you my agony as I looked on
her; my remorse was tenfold more bitter from
the thought she would never know it. I believed
myself to be her murderer. I fell on
the bed beside her. I could not weep. My
heart burned in my bosom; my brain was all
on fire. My sister threw her arms around me
and wept in silence. Suddenly we saw a slight
motion of mother's hand?her eyes unclosed.
1.
She had recovered consciousness out not speecu.
She looked at me, and moved her lips. I could
not understand her words,?'Mother, mother,'
I shrieked, 'say only that you forgive me.' She
could not say it with her lips, but her hand
pressed mine. She smiled upon me, and lifting
her thin, white hands, she clasped my own
within them, and cast her eyesupwaids. She
moved her lips in prayer, and thus she died. 1
remained still kneeling by that dear form, till
. my gentle sister removed me. The joy of my
youth had left me forever.
Boys who spurn a mother's control, who are
ashamed to own tliat they are wrong, who
think it manly to resist her authority, or defy
her influence, beware! 'Lay not up for yourselves
biiter memories for your luture years.'
Important Decision in regard to the Sheriff's
powers?What are Lawful and what Legal
Means.?Judge Lowrie, in the District Court at
Pittsburg has given a decision that where, under
the law, making the County liable for damages
arising from riots, and requiring the Sheriff
to take all legal means to prevent the injury,
the Sheriff hires, at great expeuse, armed military
companies to aid him, he cannot claim to
be repaid by the County for such expenses,
j The Sheriff hired several volunteer companies
" ?L:-L .1
to protect the roiling nuns, which were uireaiened
with destruction by a mob. The Court
drew a distinction between lawful and JegHl
means, which the Sheriff is authorized under
law to adopt, when a riot is threatened. To
say that the Sheriff was bound to use all lawful
means to prevent the threatened destruction of
property, is to say that he must use all the
means that are not unlawful; and this would
include all those physical and moral mean?,
I which might be adopted to the occasion, whether
pointed out by the law or not; means which
are not properly official, and which cannot
reasonably bo exacted of public officers.
When the law requires an officer to take all "legal
means" to effect an object; it intends that
he shall take all such means as he may officially
use, and he is not chargeable with neglect of
duty, if he adopts the means prescribed by law
for such occasions, though he omit other plain
physical and moral means. These may be lawful,
because not forbidden ; but they aro not
legal means, because not prescribed by law as
means to be used by him in his office. He is
not liable except for neglect of official duty,
I that is, for not using those means which the law
puts into his hands by his official investiture,?
At common law the Sheriff has authority to
raise the power of thecounty, armed if he thinks
proper, lie may demand the attendance of any
number of armed men to aid him in his duty.
When necessary,it is his duty to command and
theirs to obey. But he has no authority to hire
certain military companies for a price to do
what they and every man were bound to do, as
a matter of public duty. By this decision the
Sheriff wjll have to pay $2000 of his own
money.
"fcr'Will you keep an eye on my horse
my son, while I step in and get a drink?"
"Yes sir."
[Stranger goes in, gets his drink, coines out
and tinds horse missing.]
"Where is my horse, boy ?"
"He's runn'd away, sir."
"Didn't I tell vou to take care of him, you
young scamp ?"
"No, sir, you tel'ii me to keep my eye on him,
and 1 did till he got clean out o'sight."
The End of a Runaway Match.?Runaway
matches uot usually produce those happy |
consequences the parties generally expect.?
The very opposite is almost always the case,
notwithstanding the nonsense upou the subject
which is common in the sentimental novels of
?!./?Ho., Pvarv nnrnnt wishes to see his dautrh
uivvkij. I"-- - 0
tor properly muted, and when objection is made,
it is generally from some good cuuse to be
found in the conduct, habits or principles of the
person objected to. Tho following instance,
which we take from a Cincinnati paper is full
uf warning:
"Less than a year ago, a young lady, whose
" Mrw<?nfirtn mamarl 4 Tfriixntr
Iliilliu \Y C iiCCU UUii IllUllMVU^ uiainwu ? J
gentleman living in Vicksburg, named Harrington,
and she did so decidedly against the will
of her parents, who refused to let the wedding
take place in their house. The happy pair left
immediately for home, where they spent the
time for a while very agreeably. The lady
having full confidence in her husband, never
troubled herself about his business; she knew*
that he provided well, and that was enough for
her to know. About four mouths after they
arrived, their house was visited early one morning
by two police officers, for the purpose of arresting
Mr. H. for forgery. In court the case
was made plain agaiust him, and he was sent'
to the penitentiary.
"The misfortune had such an effect upoo the
young wife that she never left her room alive,
but died of grief in two mouths after. Yesterday
was seen ascending the landing a hearse,
containing a coffin, and carriage following it, m
which were a ladv and creutleman, the lather
and mother."
No More Corns.?There is no doubt some
quackery in the corn-doctor's trade, but there
is more 'gnorance. For the benefit of both
hiin and his patients, we will now disclose a
secret which will releave humanity from a load
of misery, uot the less dificult to bear than H is
unpitied or ridiculous. The cause of corns
and likewise of the torture they occasion, is
simple friction; and to lessen frictioo you have
only to use your too as you do in like circumstances
a coacb well?lubrican it with
some oily substance. The best and cleanest
thing to use is a little sweet oil, rubbed upoir
the effected part (after the corn is carefully
pared) with the fiuger, which should be done
on getting up in the morning, and just beforo
stepping into bed at night. In a few day?the
pain will diminish and iu a few daya more it
will cease, when the uigbtly application may
be discontinued.
1 h? writer of this paragraph suffered hoof
these horrible excreeeeoces for years. He tried
all sorts of infallible things, and submitted to
the manipulations of the corn-doctoi; but all
in vain; the more be tried to banish the more
they wouldn't go; or if they did go (which
happened once or twice nnder the strong prevailment
of caustic,) they were always sure to
return with tenfold venom. Since he tried the
oil some months ago, he has had no pain, and
is able to take as much exercise as he chases.
Through the influence of this mild persuasive;
one ot tbe most iniquitous ol bis corns baa already
taken itself off entirely; the otbeca he
still pares at rare intervals; but suffering to ioconvenience
whatever from them, he has act
thought it necessary to have recourse to caustic?which
sometimes, if not carefully used,
and vinegar and water applied at ooee to the
toe, causes almost as much smart as tbe acta at
cautery.?Chamber's Journal.
People who are perpetually growling because
newspapers are poorly conducted, should ooW
and then take a look into their own brains, and
see if some of the fruit dos'nt lie at bocaa?
They might then, peradventuro leara to be a
little more grateful, and a great deal more wise.
t>m<* . WAR
IN THE RANKS. It
is reported in our streets to-<hiy, that some
of the people in one of tlie Districts of 3. C.,
propose to annex themselves to our State, in
case their State secedes.
This is as it should be; if a State has a right
to seaedo from the general government, vrtiy
not let a county or district use the same privilege,
and seeede from a State! as the people of
counties have no more committed theif sovereignty
to a State government, than the people
of a State have committed their sovereignty to
the general government!
If two times four are eight, then eight must
he the product of twice four.
The above we clip from tbe last number of
that erudite and classical sheet the N C. Argsu*

the rights of the States, which have of fate
graced the columns of that print, have conferred
upon its profound and classical editor immortal
honor. We repeat, we need not say
this; for by acclamation he has been duly honored
with the title of the great expoundersYes;
even Daniel the god-like must hide his
diminished head, as the twinkling stars do at
the approach of the morning's glorious stfh.?
Mark the profundity of the above paragraph
"If two times four are eight, then eight n&st
be the product ot twice four;" hence, if a State
has the right to secede from the Federal Compact,
so has a District or County a right to "secede
from a State. Does any one dare gainsay
such logic as this 1 Is it not a wonder, a wonder
of wondei-s, that Mr. Fillmore has not ere
this called this profound logician to fill the .

well, Mr. Fillmore, your character for sagaqjty !
and discernment is certainly jeopardised by
your unaccountable neglect of this J^olpmon .
the Second.
The above exposition of the rights of the
States, aodof the rights of Districts and Counties,
indicates about as clear ap idea of the subject
in the mind of its author as is sometimes
given by the foreigners, before our police courts,
when called to account for a breach of the
peace. "Is it not^a free country? they ask,
"and has not a* man a right to do as he pleases,
even to the knocking of a neighbor down and
beating him in the street?" The foreignor, we.
Bay, who thus pleads his oause, exhibits as
much knowledge of our civil liberty, as he who
coold write the above paragraph does of our .
political institutions.?Charttw Gazette.
