SYMPATHY.
Thcre'i language that' mute, tint no silence can
peak;
Thcre'i a something that cannot be told ;
Thcro re words that can only bj read on tho
cheek.
And thoughts but Iho eyes can unfold.
There a look so expressive, no timid, so kind.
So conscious , so quick to impart,
Though dumb 4 ii an instant it speak out the mind
And strikes in an iiibtant the heait.
This eloquent silence, this convi rse of sou.
In Tain we attempt to suppress;
More prompt it appears from the wish to control,
Muro apt the fond truth to cxpriss.
And oh ! tho delight in the features that shine,
The raptures in bosoms that melt,
' Who, bless' d with each other.this converse divine
Is mutually spoken and felt.

since penned by the hand of friendship, is ;-s dear
as the loved ones we cherished in our childhood.
I love to trace the diffident characters of those
with whom in happy days I held sweet converse,
and as I read 1 maik their dilll-rcnt lots.
I follow them as tlay go out into the busy
scenes of lit -, ami watch the caprice of Fortune's
dealing. On those whom sho cradled in Hope,
ar.d on whom in childhood she lavished he.r gifts j
- profusely, in future years she Irowned upon every
opening promise, blasted the flower while in the
bud, and left the signet of despair where was
wont to be seen the cheerful smile. They moved
through the busy crowd with a kind of an unwor
thy fatality ever following them. Theie aicsome
however, for whom Fame twined tho garland
wreath in youth who still wear the shining gift,

An'n.nz my childhno.-i's fiiend-i, there was one,

Is it right that during courtship, every art

of our ctta'diinent '.
U is hardly necessary that I should pro

caelt one to answer them as he or site sees
lit; i-ltall proceed to ask a few more, pre
dicated upon supposed answers to the for
going. If no reason can be assigned, in
answer to the first question ; why is the
t hati're so universal nndso marked ? A very
short time will show an alteration in the
maimer and behaviour of both parties.
Those who have entered into that relation
to wit, husband and wife.shoul-l remember
that in tlirir own hands they hold the alter
natives of happiness? or misery. Frnip
their behaviour to one another, will flow
ad the felicity and all the misery of their
delicate and responsible station.
Should you not behavo kindly to one

Your joys are hers, your griefs she shares.

People are apt to imagine that they alone

to think their wives or their husbands the
greatest barbarians liing. This is all
wrong. You must live together, of what
use then, is this constant bickering ? IJoth
husband and wife, mutually think their
companion sympathises not with them.
This is also wrong bear ye one anothers

Think of the vows made to yourselves and

Jess ISryan's Hear TiIit,
The following clever story, showing how a "na
tive" came it over a bear-man, is copied from the
West Albamian. 1 he dog "Cash" u "some in a
bar lite," as will be seen.
E.'ery nan, woman, and child in I'ickins coun
ty knows Jets Bryan. Audio thos whose cir
cumstances unfortunately compel them to live
elsewhere, we would say that Jesse is the present
sheriff uf the county aforesaid. And furthermore
we have the authority of the present Secretary ol
StMu fir saying, that he was the finest looking
shei iff who carried the returns of the last presi
dential election to Montgomery.
On reaching Montgomery, Jess went to the
Capitol, and was introduced to the Secretary: "I
am happy to know you, .Mr. Cryan, said Hie affa
ble Col. I'arrett.
"1 am happy to find you do," replied the sher
iff, "lor since I put on these blacks, I hardly
know my.ell."
Jess is our crack story-teller, and many side
achs have (he boys had from laughing at his nub
bin Ridge and Sourwood stories. One of fiis we
will now give, premising that the gist of the sto
ry consists in his rich manner of telling it, and
that it rousj lose much by being read.
Some years ag, before I eot to be Sheriff of
this county, I was in Mobile, and one day I saw a
croud moving out toward the Orange Grove;!
joined it, and found that a match fight was ab-mt
to come oil between Jim llurguss's bull dog and
a lame bear, for live hundred dollau aside, one
hundred forfeit.
As mon as the rirr; was formed, the dog was
turned loose at the hear, and alter one round he
stayed looen,i sort of talk could make him
clinch agiin, and Durguss paid the forfeit and
drew of t In- (loir.
Ju-.t as the crowd was about to disperse, n tall
raw-lmned native, frm Cl.iekayiha, who was re
juicing i:i the owm-iship ,,f a !dg, bony, stump
tailed cur dog sung out; "I'll be darn'd if Cash

o. oer ol i.'-.ish. "Iliing him heie Cash !" Cash
bv im-un force, dragged the hear half around the
ring, without once exposing himself to the I'm i -mis
blows ol the animal.
"Shake him, Cash" Again the brave dog
shook his foe until the bear's teeth chattered wilh
pain and rage. Siill Cash, by keeping yard-arm
and yard-aim, with the bear, was as safe as if he
had been in his masters cabin.
The owner of tho bear seeing that the bear cucld
not lirim; his arms to bear, could not brar to tee
Cash hear the bear in such a barc-laccd manner,
