THE FALLACY OF HOPE.
Hope, on thought's light pinion, lov^i to
fly to the haven in which onr brightest
anticipations are anchored; yet maoy a
time, and oft when we trusted its fond de-lusions
most, have we found ourselves
wrecked on the strands of despair.
'Tis natural for us to picture the fancy-wrought
scenes of the shaded future.
True, we may for a while brood o'er
u memory's buried flowers," but soon the
pa»t is burled into Oblivion's gulf, and the
bright and cheering anticipations of the
unattainod future hold empire over our
thoughts. Yet, oh I how very soon its
promised pleasures prove a mockery, and
we are doomed to seo
" The hopes that rose in smiles to-day
Sink in tears to morrow."
• aiuuuiun ■»••«> ™-..., .. B
expectations of a brilliant career and of
being crowned with the laureled wreaths
of distinction ; yet should these hopes bo
realized, there would still be something
wanting to mako them blest.
When borne upon the tide of conquest
won, higher aims animate the soul, and
ambition presses its victim on—still on !—
even the crowned monarch of a subjugated
world, after he has touched " the highest
point of all his greatness" and reached
"the full meridian of all bis glory," still is
tormented with a wish for something
It should be our motto to keep us from '
despondency.
Perchance, the ruffled current of opposl'
tion may force at down the stream of dig.
appointment until we are almost constrain-ed
to believe that oar path is no longer
oheered by the faintest twinkle of the bless-ed
Star of Hope ; bat soon it appears, chas-ing
away the light gossamer clouds of sor-row
that momentarily dimmed our sunny
prospects.
We very often sacrifice present ease for
the hopp of distant pleasure* and let the
blessings of life glide by unheeded, in ma-king
preparations to enjoy those we fancy
await as in the " roseato bowers" of com.
ing days.
Well hath the poet compared the idle
chase of Hope to one puraoing a butterfly,
which leads them on from flower to flower,
then loses its charm by being caught.
" For every touch that wooed it* stay
Hath brushed its brightest hues away.
Till charm and hue and beauty gone
'Tis left to fly or fall alone.
Can it with wounded pinion soar
From rose to tulip as before T
Or, beauty blighted in an hour
Find joy within its broken bower ?
No : gayer insects fluttering by
Ne'er droop the wing o'er those that die."

JOHNSON'S ISLAND IN LAKE ERIE.
DBDICATED TO THB PBISOMBBS T1IEBB.
Father in Heaven ! Thine is the power,
To bless in every land and hour;
Then hear my heart's deep bursting prayer,
And shield the precious prisoners there.
When the days grow bleak and cold,
A mantle of mercy round them fold ;
Let their hearts be warm and cheery.
On Johnson's Island in Lake Erie.
'Mong those " heroes in the strife,"
For Southern land and Southern life,
Onetlarling heart alone
Throbs with the blood that stirs my own:
Yet for all 1 bend my knee
In fervent prayer oh ! God to Thee ;
Keep their lives from being weary
On Johnson's Island in Lake Erie.
A sacred cause they have espoused.
The best that's in them is aroused;
Deeply their noble souls revere
Thee, oh ! God, and country dear;
Then let them live to see at last
The victory won, the struggle past—
Bring them through their bondage dreary.
On Johnson's Island in Lake Erie.
A thousand hopes are to them bound.
A thousand hearts they cluster round :
Affection drops for them a tear.
And for their safety stands in fear.
Oh ! free them from the captor's hand.
And iet us greet in Southern land
The prisoners, with a welcome merry,
From Johnson's Island in Lako Erie.
FARNIB B
FOR EVERY' ONE THAT ASKETH RECETV-ETH.
O, ask not wealth :
The gaudy bauble glitters to deceive ;
It hath a thom to press thee when asleep ;
It maketh wings, and leaveth thee to weep i
Ask not what wealth can give.

20th, 1803, on motion, Lieut. F. A. Manner was
called to the Chair, and C. W. Westbrook appointed
Secretary.
On taking the Chair, Lieut. Hanner explained
the object of the meeting to be to draft resolutions
expressive of our heartfelt sympathy at the loss of
our highly esteemed officer, Lieut. J. H. McKnight,
who fell mortally wounded at the battle of Bristow
Station, Va , on the 14th of October, 1803.
On motion, a committee of five was appointed,
who reported the following resolutions which were
unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, It has pleased an all-wise Providence
to remove from us our much-loved officer, friend and
comrade in arms, Lieut. J. H. McKNIGHT, there-fore
be it
Ruolvid, That while we bow with humble sub-mission
to the hand that has thus bereft us. we can-not
but mourn that we have been thus early depriv-ed
of the service andassociatien of such a friend as
our departed hero.
Rtsolvtd, That in the death of Lieut. McKnight,
another name has been added to the list of South-ern
martyred heroes, sacrificed upon the altar of
their country's existence, another cry goes up from
the crimsoned earth to our nation's God for ven-geance
upon an aggressive foe.
Jieiolvtd, That in his death his parents have to
mourn the loss of an affectionate and dutiful son,
the object of many bright hopes and the recipient
of much affection, the church an ornament of piety

hand was ever open to the interests of our common
cause.
Rtsolvtd, That we tender our heartfelt sympathy
to the family and friends of our departed brother, ,
and drop a silent tear in remembrance of him whose J, Company 0_4Gt h -N.C. I held ibie day,
death we are called upon to mourn. " Peace to hr0f j J6"}- K- ™
ashes, may the earth lie lightly on his remains."
O, ask not fame;
The empty bubble breaks at every gale;
Its mighty shadows stalk in midnight gloom ,
It kills his hero, and then haunts his tomb.
Where all nis triumphs tail.
G, ask net love;
"The fond heart's idol breaketh the fond heart;
His smile if oft deceitful, and its power
Too oft is felt in sorrow's darkest hour ;
Ask not his treacherous dart.
O, ask not life;
"Not even life itself makes good the name"
How oft its vtctim craves the boon of death,
When guilt or sorrow yearn to yield the breath ;
Ask not the fitful name.
Ask for a quiet mind ;
A heart at rest from nil the jars of strife;
An humble heart, that never soars to fall;
A heart to bless the Hand that gives it all,
That priceless gift of life.
Ask for a fount of tears;
The heart to sympathize in oth-rs' woe,
The soul to feel for all the sorrowing here.
And power to point them to a better sphere,
Where tears can never flow.
Ask for a broken heart,
A gritf for all the ills thy hand has done ;
A pang for wasted life, for useless breath ;
A hope that triumphs o'er the fear of death.
* Ask, and the goal is won.

But every object, however ardently and

when attained. Hope is a passing fabric
founded upon the delusive falacies of the
imagination, which will crumble at the
first touch of adversity.

gems of happiness exist only in our bright
imaginings, for the very moment we reach

who were killed or died from wounds received at
the battle of Bristow Station, Va., October 1 1th, 1S63.
The following preamble and resolutions were
unanimously adopted :
WHEREAS, It has pleased Almighty God to take
from us our beloved comrades, thereby inflicting
upon us an irreparable loss, and reminding us that
" in the midst of lite we are in death," and our
hearts though strong and brave, still like muffled
drums are beating funeral marches to the giave,

Resolved, That the bitterness of the cup of sorrow
thus placed to our lips, is mitigated by the pleasing
remembrance of the soldieily and efficient manner
paltons.
Although tho heart is disappointed in
many of its wishes, yet it will neve,-cease ^-^^ fa|len comrade- performed ev,ry t

yet, should we despond and grow weary of
file because one trial has entered the bouse-h°
N.v verily, but we should look up with
hopeful eyes, uttering from the heart » thy
will be done." Uncertainty and delusion
may bewilder us on every side, and when
we are engaged in high and nobl. pursuits
all our fond hopes may be blasted and
happy expectations overshadowed w.U> dis-appointment
; but behind this dark, gloomy

Then look on tho sunny side, and happi-ness
will come like a.ray of sun-hght, d.i.
pelling oppressive gloom and .Humming
our pathway to prosperity.
A shadow of sadness sometimes nestles
in tho heart when we picture the future,
then - hope on, hope ever" should be in-delibly
stamped upon our hearts.
■^Resolved, That while we deeply deplore their loss,
yet we have the sweet assurance that they have
been transfered from the army of earth, to the glori-ous
and immortal hosts of Heaven, where death,
woun-ls and sorrows are unknown.

departed companions our warmest sympathies and
mingle our tears with theirs in this our mutual af-

SUGAR MILLET SEED—Important Fact.—
It should be generally known that the com.
mon broom corn, which is a species of
millet, if planted near tbhe Sugar MMiilllleett , oivouac on ie„,Uyu,B, ,
readily mixes with it, ar.d if the seed thus , the crash and thunder of battle
obtained is planted, it produces a new • will long cherish an nffectionat
variety, greatly resembling broom corn,
but taller and larger. This variety IS
usually called the red sort, and u almost
worthless for syrup.
The fact as to the mixture and the pro-duction
of this inferior adulterated variety,
1 know from repeated personal observation
to be true.
It is there/ore important that genuine
seed should be selected for planting, and
that broom corn should not bo planted any-where
near the Sugar Millet.
If all the newspapers were to call public
attention to this subject, they would
o-ood service to a valuable interest.
