THE STORM OF WAR. 

 O ! once was felt the stoim of war ! 



It had an earthquake's roar, 

 It flashed upon the mountain height, 



And smoked alon^ the shore. 

 It thundered in a dreaaiingf ear, i 



And up the Farmer sprang ; 

 It muttered in a bold true heart, 



And a warrior's harness rang. 



U rumbled by a widow's floor, — - 



All but her hope did fail : 

 It Irembk-d through a leafy grove, 



And a .niaiden's cheek was pale. 

 It steps upr.n the slernirg sea, 



And waves around it howl ; 

 It strides from top to foaming top, 



Out-frowning ocean's scowl. 



And yonder sailed the merchant ship. 



There was peace upon her deck ; 

 cler rrieuQ:y flag from the mast was torn. 



And the waters whelmed the wreck. 

 But the same blast that bore her down 



Filled a gallant daring sail, 

 That loved the miglit of the blackening storm 



And laughed in the roaring gale, 

 * » •» ;•■ 



The stream that was a torrent once. 



Is rippled to a brook. 

 The sword is broken, and the spear 



Is but a pruning hook. 

 The mother chides htr truant boy, 



And keeps him well from harm ; 

 ■VV hiie in the grove the happy maid 



Hangs on her lover's arm. 



Another breeze is on the sea, 



Another wave is there. 

 And floats abroad triumphanUy, 



A banner bright and fair. 

 And peaceful hands and happy hearts 



And gallant spirlls keep ' 



Each star that decks it, pure and bright, 



Above the rolling deep. Con-. Minor. 



The following toast was given by .Tudge Fiske, 

 at the late celebration of the anniversary of the 

 Charleston Forensic Club : 

 The Lawyer's Declaration — 



Fee simple and a simple fee. 



And all ihefees in tail.

One SwaUuiv does not make a Summer. One 



iiarp frosty day, the Prince of Wales went into 

 Uie Thachedhouse Tavern, and ordered a beef- 

 steak ; but observing that it ,vas e.vcessively cold, 

 desired the waiter to bring him first a glass of 

 brandy and water. He emptied it in a twinkling, 

 Uien a second, ti-.en a third. " Now," said his 

 Royal Highness, " I am v/arm and comfortable • 

 bring my steak." On this, Mr Sheridan, who was 

 present, wrote the following impromptu : 

 " The Prince came in and said 'twas cold 



Then put to his head a rummer ; 

 1 ill simllow alter sicalhw came, 

 Then hir pronounc'd it jumnitr." 



This last week, a married womaTin the uei-h- 



boring towh of , ,vho had been working in a 



cotton factory, mi.se,! some hour or so after sun- 

 set, her little boy of about four years old. How 

 ■ong he hart been gone could not be told, for the 

 woman had been hard at work all the afternoon, 

 and all others were too busy to cire for her or 

 her clu.d. Her fi.st search was .ilent and alone 

 —hoping, to find him, and disliking to communi- 

 cate a mother's apprehensions to the other mules 



and females of the cotton factO:y. The night 



grew very darlc and the search very hopeless, and 



resort was finally had to all the men, women and 



children of the establishment, to liolto her find 



her boy. The buildings with all their "stores and 



cellars, their sluices, wheels, bands, buckles, were , „>.- aoov« reminus us oi a Philadelphia Law, 



searched with an awful apprehension on the part who in closing an argument, made use of the'

might awake the child who might be sleeping 

 somewhere and might somehow be waked up— 

 at any rate it could do no harm, and besides there 

 was nothing else they could do." The lantherns 

 and the factory bell in the night, aroused all the 

 bells in the neighborhood, and all the inhabitants 

 of the contiguous city. The cry of' fire,' and of 

 ' where is it' was raised at once. T)o»n came the 

 engines— down came the people, and best of all, 

 down came the Fire Wardens. 



Joab Stark, a hard working man in the day 

 time, and a proportionably hard sleeping man in 

 the night, had heard nothing of all this distur- 

 banco, though he lodged in the factory buildincrs, 

 and though they had been ransacked from ridge- 

 pole to foundation, until he was aroused by the 

 vciceofan energetic Firewarden, who for once 

 did not e.'cactiy know what he was about, with tLe 

 plain and intelligible command " form a line."— 

 At which he awoke and inquired what wan the 

 matter — The warden conld'nt tell him, but tlie 

 mother could—" She had lost her child," she said,
