DEEAKS AND REALITIES.
BY WILLIAM P. aiCLCUIXOCK.
Oh! for an hour in tho haunts cf childhood,
Down by the verge of the shady wild wood ;
Oh ! far an sight of the olden places !
Oh ! f r a glance at the dear L imc faces !
Oh ! for a day on the hcath-clael mountain !
Oh! for a draught at iu viad-woed fountain!
Oh! for a sail on the sun-bright river.
Gliding in music and beauty ever !
Oh ! how my heart would beat free and lightly,
Oh! what a hope would shine grand aud brightly,
lighting the void of the dark hereafter,
Loosing the springs cf my care-bound laughter,
Filling and thrilling with joy all over
The heart and soul of the grieving rover,
Breaking, with power, aud a spell Klysian,
Bright on the sense of iny tear-dimsned vision,
Striking the chord of a muaic lighter,
Painting the sky of a Future brighter,
Long-lost joys from their slumber waking,
Killing the grief that has left mc aching,
Songs of my youth in the distance singing,
Dreams of my youth from the dark Past bringing,
Honors and wreaths I would win by striving.
Oil consuming and WLjdom hiving,
Fame, like a star shining bright in distance.
The radiant light of my young existence.
Sweet are tlx words of my mother's blessing,
Fondly and close are her arms caressing ;
Filled is my Lxvrt with a bliss past telling,
Thickly and fast are my tears down welling ;
Tender aud kind is the earnest greeting
By the old fireside at our bless lirst meeting.
Woe is me, heart cf mine, why art thou dreaming?
False arc' the hopes that are o'er thee' gleaming ;
Far, far away o'er the heaving ocean
Lies the home thou 1. v'st with a deep devotion ;
Tirae rolls on aud will roll for ever,
liut thy childhood's home shall receive thee never
Many a dark and a dismal sorrow,
No hope to-daj" and no hope to morrow ;
Many the hard and tad privations
Shall wound thy pe-ve ar.d shall test, thy patience,
Dark is the skein that thy fate is ginning,
Wretched and poor thy rewards for the winning ;
A sunken eye, and a young cheek faded,
A care-worn brow and a heart grief-shaded :
T iiese shall lc thine with a gloom e ternal,
Ivilling the flowers f thy fancy vernal,
Blighting whatever cf life seemed fairest, '
Taking whatever thy heart prized rarest
Dole and sorrow, and both undying,
Summer friends far away falsely (lying ;
"Want at thy door and no sue t near thee
Despair at thy hearth, and no friend to cheer thee;
Want at thy door and thy children weeping,
Vigils of hunger the long nights keeping:
Tlx; ills shall wound, these ills shall sting thee,
Hours pass away, but no pleasure bring thee
Thorny thy way, by no hope attended,
Thy feet must wend as they aye wended,
Thou canst not stay, r.nd thou must not linger,
liut follow thy dark fate's guiding ringer.
Till earth resume thee, till life is over,
Thino is the lot of the wayside rover,
On, on, sad lieart, by thy dark fate driven ;
The poor in spirit are heirs of Heaven.
Farmer's Girls.
Up In the early morning, just at the peep of day,
Straining the milk iu the dairy, turning the cows
away.
Sweeping the floor in the kitchen, making the
lieds up stairs,
Wasliing tho breakfast dishes, dusting the parlor
chairs.
Brushing the crumbs from the pantry, hunting tho
eggs at the barn,
Cleaning tlic turnips for dinner, spinning the stock
yarn, Spreading tne whitening linen down on the hushes
below,
Ransacking every meadow where the red straw
berries grow
Starching the "fixens" for Sunday, churning the
snowy cream,
Rinsing the pails and strainer down in the running
stream,
Feeding the geese and turkeys, making the pump
kin pies,
Jogging the little ones' cradle, driving away the
Hies.
Grace in every motion, music in every tone,
Beauty of form and features thousands might covet
to own,
Checks that rival spring roses, teeth the whitest
of pearls,
One of these country maids is worth a score of your

amount. Her agent in Europe had conclud
ed engagements for her return, which, in forty
tiighta, would have brought her G0,00O
more. It is but a short time since she pur
chased a noble chateau and domain in Germa

H a r r i a g e.
Upon no subject is so much good advice
given as upon that of matrimony, yet every
one knows how seldom such good advice is
listened to. It is not in all circumstances
that people can listen to reason, and it is very
certain that pccple in love seldom do listen to
reason. It is also a truth, scarcely to be
questioned, that, with the circumstances of
falling iu love, reason has almost nothing at
all to clo. Taste, perhaps, has something to
do with it, and temperament a good deal ; but,
discernment is for the mont part at fault upon
such occasions, and judgment is not called
upon to act This is a very serious matter,
and must be admitted to be so when vre come
to consider the very important engagements
to which mere personal attachments give rise.
Doctor Johnson, while stating that is not dis
covered that life lias anything-more to be de
sired than prudent and virtuous marriage, ob
serves that there is nothing with so much se
duces reason from vigilanc e as the thought of
passing life with an amiable woman : and he
warns the gentleman whom he addresses that
love and marriage are very different states;
arid that those who are to t-ufier often for the
sake of one another soon losa that tenderness
of look and that benevolence of mind which
arose from the participation ofunmingled
pleasure and successive amusement.
The pk-asaittct pari of a man's life (says
Addison) is generally that which passed in
courtship, provided his passion be si ac-ere, and
the party beloved be kind, with discretion.
Love, desire, hope, and all tho pleasing emo
tions of the soule rise in the pursuit.
The hope, then, is more pleasing thnn the
jKHsecsion of that which lias been hoped for,
but that which is most curious in our consti
tution is, that th'u sort of hrpe is ready to
spring tip afresh in spite of known realities
which fight against it. When Johnson heard
of a man who was going to marry a second
time he said it was the triumph of hops over
experience. r-'eh'om has a commonplace mat
ter been resolved into a happier abstraction.
The continental tendency of hojc to tri
umph over cxperieuca m such cases is not
(uougli con:-ic!ereuby .'hose vehement reformers
of the institutions of" society who desire to fa
cilitate the process of divorce, and, in short,
to enable people to separate when they f nd
they clo not live happily together, with as much
facility as they could unite, when they believ
ed that union would insure their happiness. If
any such facility were Emitted, which it oouM
not be without setting aside altogether the re
ligious character of marriage, it would be found
that the hope of forming new ties more agree
able than the ould would ever be rising up,
in spite of experience, and that inconstancy
would be promoted without promoting happi
ness. In this ease, as in thousands of others,
the philor:phy of bearing the ills wo have,
rather thin fiyiug to others, that we know
not of, in practically the best for us ; and the
greater liberty of divorce would turn out to be
011I3- a greater burthe n.
To return to Addison. Seeing thai court
ship is so pleasant, he wisely, advices that it
should be of long continuance. . This is a
point upon which doctors differ. Doctor Ad
dison, however, expressly says, that those mar
riages generally abound most with love and
constancy that arc preceded by a long court
ship. The passion should strike roof, and
gather strength before marriage be grafted
on it. A long course of hopes and expecta
tions fixes the ideas in our minds, and habitua
tes us to a fondness of the person beloved.
Wordsworth supplies a charming illustration
cf a love of this kind :
"There was a youth, v. hem T hail loved so long,
That when I loved h.iro not I cannot say :
'Mid the green mountains many a thoughtless song
We two had sung like gladsome birLs in May
When we legan to tire of childish play,
We seemed still more and more to prize eac h other,
We talked of marriage and our marriage day ;
And 1 in truth did love him as a brother,
For never could I hope to meet with such another."
The most serious point of all in wedded
union Addison just touches upon, and pursues
the point no further; feeling, perhaps, that it
was better to suggest it to reflective minds
than to dwell upon it in a familiar essay.
"There is nothing of so great importance to
us," he says, "as the good qualities of one to
whom we join ourselves for life ; they do not
only make our present state agreeable, but of
ten determine our happiness to all eternity."
Mistakes of the Telegraph.
We have already had occasion to tell some
queer stories under this head; but we find one
in the Detroit Advertiser that beats the lot.
It seems that a few clays since, a gentleman
telegraphed to one of the western cities to gain
intelligence of his daughter who was ill. In
return he received a laconic reply from the
physician, which purported hat he was a
grandfather. "Heavens!" he exclaimed,
throwing down the missive as if it had been a
hot cinder. "My daughter a child !" Then
striding to his closet, he grabbed his hat and
coat, and struck a bee line for the cars, mut
tering : "A pretty muss child-r-my daughter
in kucIi a nredicament, and unmarried too ! Oh
such a disgrace !" In a few hours he was at
the sick room of his daughter. The physician
wa3 surprised to see him so soon, but politely
told him that the "girl was getting along fine
ly." "So it is a girl, hey V" grasped the fa
ther. "Of course," said the doe-tor, "don't
you call your daughter a girl?'? ."Ahhum
yes but-4he eh child V" 'Child !"
wondered the doctor, "what child ?" "Why
sir, dhl you not send that despatch V pettishly
exclaimed our friend, as he handed to the doc
tor the despatch be had hastily picked up from
the floor before he left home
The doctor looked at it, and a broad smile
was visible upon his features. "I sent you a
dispatch, butlleaven knows it never contained
such news as this. The one I sent intimated
that voux daughter was just through bavins a
j chile ! ' It is added that the relieved papa of?

The triple Murder in Tennessee. lynching'
tt cf the Murderer. : .
The following particulars of this horrible
affair have come to band. A letter in the
Athena (Tenn.) Post runs as follows :
Daxbuidue, Tenn., June 20.
"A tragedy has just been enacted in this
vicmity more awful and horrible than has ever
before occurred in any peaceful land. Elijah
Moore and his wife had lived together some
years upon a farm on French Broad River,
near the mouth of Chueky. They had no
children.' Miss Lotspeech, thj-"f of Mrs.
Mcorcfwas living with them.- - rihe was a
3-oung lady much esteemed by her acquain
tances as amiable, prudent and modest.
Moore and his wife were clever, respectable
people. He -owned a negro man named Tom,
about 22 years of age, who hid been raised
in the family and admitted to many familiari
ties and liberties, such as are too often allow
ed to slaves by those who own but few.
This slave and two small free negro boys
hired by Moore, worked on the farm. The
slave Tom had been insolent to the family,
and especially to Miss Lotspecch, and ought
to have been arrested, but Moore was desirous
of having his labor in the crop at thi3 particu
lar time, and was perhaps somewhat afraid of
the negro He therefore suffered the negro
still to live in the family.
On last Wednesday evening the slave, Tom,
sent away the free negro boys to their mo
ther's not far distant, and in the night entor
el the house where Moore and his wife were
in one bed, and Miss Lotspeech in an other
bed m an opposite corner of the same room.
He entered the room with a lamp and an axe.
He struck Moore in the head a blow with the
edge of the axe, causing such instant death
that he did not, when first discovered, appear
to have moved. Several wounds, apparently
given with great force with the axe, were
found upon and about his head. Mrs. Moore
awoke, sprang from the bed and contended
with the negro in defence of her husband.
The negro infberte 1 several wounds upon
3Irs M. similar to those upon her huJiand
and lifting her from the floor, threw her upon
the bed, where she diel in a few minutes.
Whilst the brief contest was ponding with
Mrs. Moore, her sister Miss Lotspeech, start
ed to her relief. The negro struck her upon
the srm and broke it. lie then threw her
upon the bed and violated her with, many acts
of barbarity and inhumanity not to be repeat
ed. Her screams alarmed the negro so that
he killc-d her with a blow upon the back and
then made his escape.
The next dav the whole neighborhood ns- J

sight of the murdered dead was the most aw
ful they had ever seen.
Th-3 whole neighborhood turned out upon a
diligent f careh for the murderer, and cn Fun
day he was arretted, not, however until he had
received a severe flesh wound from a ride hall.
He made a full, though not voluntary confes
sion, which is confirmed by other evidence.
On Monday, after general public notice
throughout the country round, in the presence
of au immense Assembly, the negro was
chained to a stake aud burned to death and to
ashes.
iriLL ANOTiIF.Il account.
Daxbriik. e, June 19.
KJi'ors (rittun: OnWednc-sday night last,
Mr. Elijah Moore, and his wife, and his wife's
sister Miss Jane Lotspeech, were all murdered
by a negro man named Tom. .
The excitement was intense, and the whole
coun try rose up in arms, formed themselves
into companies to hunt for him. and on yes
terday he was overtaken crossing C'hucky ri
ver, about twenty miles from this place, and
was immediately fired upon, one shot taking
effect in his right arm. lie immediately turn
ed and gave himself uj to the pursuing party,
who took him to the house of Mr L. D.
Franklin, where, by screwing his fingers and
then his hands in a vice until all the bones
were mashed (and other treatment which can
not be mentioned in print,) he acknowledged
that he had committed the murders.
He says that he had conceived a strong and
irresistibe passion for Miss Lotspeech, and
made several proposals, which were alway re
jected with indignation, that he had told her
if she eviir informed on him. that ho would kill
her, aud thus prevented her from telling his
master, but on last Monday he made another
attempt, when she immediately told her brother-in-law,
Mr. Moore, who talked to him
about it and threatened to whip him ; he then
determined to enter the house, kill Mr. Moore
and carry MissL. away, while another oS-
was to take Mrs. Moore ; but in killing Moore,
Mrs. Moore waked up and caught the axe,
which he wrested from her and struck her a
violent blow on the head, mashing her skull
and thus rendering her incapable of further
resistance, but not causing immediate death.
In the meantime, Miss L. awoke, and
struggled to prevent his killing her; he coolly
informed her of his purpose ; she begged him
to kill her : he struck her with the axe, and
broke one of her arms at the first blow ; at the
second he stunned her so as to make her in
sensible ; he then accomplished his hellish
purpose. Mrs. Moore, in the meantime, mov
ed in her bed, and he went to her, and split
her skull open with .the axe ; went back to
Miss L's bed and a second time violated her
person, and then split her head open with the
axe.
He then opened the door, - and quietly put
ting on his shoes, got into a canoe, turned it
loose, laid down in the bottom of it, and went
to sleep as though unusual had occurred, and
did not awake until lie naa noatea several mi
les down the river.
The whole annual of crime do not 6how such
a hellish, fiendiah crime, accompanied with so
much coolness. But he has meet his doom.
He was to-day tied to a tree, in sight of his
masters' house, a large pile of rich
pine built around him, and then set on fire and
burnt to ashes, in the presence of 12 1500
persons, who did not leave the spot until ho
was completely reuueca 10 apns.
Horrible Railroad Accident.
An accident occurred on the 4th July by

in its course, and bursting into numerous frag

the light was so strong that a printed page might

I Polite Invitations.
What one of our fraternity has not lt-en I .on
and dozened out of an "editorial notice," by indi
viduals who pay in polite speeches. We com
mend to all thoughtless j;eop!e, who forgrt to
leave a '"quid," when they take the jUo," the
following "'lirst rate notice" from the Hartford
CuurMit :
"Newspaper editors get a great many polite in
vitations. Mr. B., from the great Ktale of Mew
Yorkj comes in, takes oil" his hat, and is very glad
to bee the editor indeed, he is happy iu making
his acquaintance. He has a hotel, a phiugh, a re
volving churn, or a freezeless pump patent and
desirvs to sell. Hopes the editor will go right over,
look at it, describe it, puff it f.r nothing.
La this way frequently gets an advertisement
iu the cilitotial twktmn.-,- -worth JftO "to trine; at
least, and than he is happy if he never sees the
ctutjr again. Another lias a i.unous iUii, witii
very particular points of excellence, and he has a
j ar. of block at. home fur sale. The ctlit. r will
go est a mile, look at the bull, and ad vertise the
gentleman's stock, editorially, for nothing.
Another has a lung baromete r, set iu pearl ; he
desires the editor to blow npou it to try liis
wind and then to loose no time in sounding forth
tie merits rf the lung barometer. And so on to
tit- end of the chapter, rii-rioiisly, do these ven
dirs of patents, stoc k, and wares ever chx-am that
tliir business, like the dry goods or grocery mere-rant,
is a legitimate subject fur advertising that
the editor's time is valuable that it Costs him
large sums of money to set his type and print liis
piper and two or three dollars will buy a rpace
in his advertising columns that it will be seen by
fourty thousand people ?
And what would they think if the editor should
run after them, saying : "I have a family please
to send me a fat steer a valuable plan : a new
churn a patent pump iu thort the most valu
able thing that j'ou deal in." You would say :
"by these things we get our living they cost us
money." So with the editor by his time his
types- the space in Us paper aud the sales of
his wares, he gets a bare living."

Ytat it Leads to.
The present course of the opponents of
the Democracy tends directly, inevitably and
rapidly to the ultra abolitionism of Garrison
and Phillips to the open repudiation of the
constitution ; and that must be the ground and
basis of the --new party" which is to be formed
by all the elements and factions opposed to the
Democratic party. The leaders in this move
ment arc openly tailing ground openly repu
diating the obligations of the constitution. It
will be seem that Senator Sumner, after taking
a solemn oath to support the constitution, has
declared in the Senate that he does '-not re
cognize any obligation imposed by that instru
ment to return a fugitive slave," although that
is as expressly enjoined as any other. And
this is the positin of other leaders in this new
abolition crusade, in which the whole whig
party has joined. It is the very doctrine and
eourap of those whe eleimunee the constitution
ns a "covenant with eleath and an agreement
with hell," and who declare that the path to
the attainment of their objects "lies ovt-r tho
ruins of the American church and theAr.ierican
Union " To this ground the course of the
whig and abolition factions tenils and israpid
ly approaching; ami all who join them will
ultimately find themselves upon the platform !
of Garrison ami Phillips. Democrats who are
urrre.-d to unite in this abolition movement
should think of this. If they do not intend to
become avowed disunioubts, they will adhere
to the Democratic party.
