Selected for the Carolina Spartan. Cldod Bye?A parting Soupr. V The momenta of parting arrive, we're sad. Whose-besoms ao lately were joyous w,d glnd; Ol when ahall we meet again, couics with a sigh That stirs the deep feeling while Baying, "good bye." On earth, none can tall what the future will bring. Or what from this meeting may probably spring. The past Is a drvaiu, in the grave it must lie? And we from this moment inust utter "good byo." We tremble to think how frail is titan's breath, And aigh when we thiuk of the coming of death; Even now inay the angcla be lingering nigh, Be ready, be ready, to uturincr "good bye." The birds and the blossoms of spring pass away, The flowers of summer bloom, fade and decay, Jkveu autumn fruits perish and winter must die, So.wo with all nature must echo "good bye." O may we depart when the hour draws near, A* softly as nature's sweet charms disappear ; And may kindred angels be ready to fly Home, home with each spirit that whisper* good by a." Then, their in Uie regions of glory we'll stray, Unmovod by a sorrow, untouched by decay, A dH never more listening or trembling reply j To accents so sad as this fervent "good bye." Can a Mother l orgct T Con a mother forget'( Not a morning, noon or night but she looks into the corner of the kitchou where you read Kobinson Crusoe, and thinks of you as yet a boy*. Mothers rarely become eouscious that their children are grown out of their childhood. They think of them, advise them, write to them, as if not full fourteen years of j age. They cannot forget the child. Three j times a day she thinks who arc alisent from the table, and hopes that next year, at the farthcrest, she may have "just her own family there;" and if you are there, look oat for the fat limb of a fried chicken, and that coffco which none hut everybody'a own mother can make. Did Hannah lorgct Samuel? A short sentence, full of household history, and running over with genuino mothcrlovo, is telling beautiful. "Moreover, his mother nmdo him a little coat, and brought it to hiiu froiu year to year, when shccamo up with her husband to the yearly sacrifice." A mother mourning at her first horn's grave, or closing the dying eye of child after child, displays a grief whoso very sacredncBs is sublime. But bittoier, heavier than the death stroke, is a desperation of a son who rushes over a crushed heart, into vices which he would hide eveu from the abandoned and the vile. Napoleon once asked a lady what France ncoded for tho education of her youth? and tho short, nrofound renlv was.li Jfilnth i / A k J / ow.M A Happy llomo. Tho first year of married life is the inost important era in tho history of the husband aud Vf\fa. Generally, as it is spent, so is almost all subsequent existence. The wife and husband then assimilate their views and desires, or clso conjuro up their dis? like, and so add fuel to their prejudices and animosities for ever afterward. "I havo somewhere read," says Rev. Dr. Wise, in his "Bridal Greeting," "of a bridegroom who gloried in his eccentrics. Ho requested his bride to accompany hiiu into the garden a day ye two utter their wedding, lie then threw a line over the roof of the cottage. Giving his wile one end of it ho retreated to the other side, and exclaimed : 'Pull tho line 1" ) "J can't," sUo replied. - " 'Pun with all your might," shouted the whimsical husband. Put iu vain were all tlio efforts of the bride to pull over the liuc, so long as the husband held on the opposito side. Hut when he came around and both pulled at one end, it cauae over with great case. "There," said he, as the lino fell from the roof, "you see how hnrd and ineffectual was our labor when we pulled in oppo sitiou to each other, but bow easy and pleasant it is when wo both pull together. Jt will be so, my dear, through life?if wc not together, it will be pleasant through life. Let us, thoreforo, always pull together." In this illustration, homely as it may be, there is sound philosophy. Husband ami wife should mutually bear and concede, if they wish to make home a retreat of joy and bliss. One alone cannot make home happy. There must be a union of action, Bweetncss of spirit, and great forbearance and love in both husband and wife, to secure the great cud of happiness iu the do mestic circle. Sick Rooms.?Nobody should venture in a sick room when in a perspiration, for the moment the body becomes cold it is in a state likely to absorb the infection ; nor visit a sick person, if the complaint be of contagious nature, with an empty stomach, nor swallow your saliva. In attending a sick person, place yourself where the air pas ses from the door or window to the bed of the invalid, not between the invalid and the | fire, as the heat, of fire will draw the in factious vapor in that direction, as thero is danger in breathing it. The "Wipe.?That woman who deserves not a husband's generous love who will uot greet him with a nmilo as he returns from the labors of the day?who will uot try to chain him to his home by the sweet enchantment of a cheerful heart. There is not one in a thousand that is so unfooling as to withstand such influences and break aw<y frt>tn such a home. If you havo great talents, industry will influence them; if moderate abilities, industry will supply the deficiency. I The Ruling Passions Strong In Death. Wo have sotu'.wh'jre read of a hard case, whom his IVieuds hud tried every way to break off his continued habit of drinking. As a lust experiment they took hiui one uight, while dead drunk, and placed hint nicely away in n coffin. In order to convince Hin? that he was dead, a friend con scDtcd to disguise and stow* himtuil' away in another coffiu to watch the effect, and carry out, according to circumstances, the serious joke. ?n> n... t.:~ ...... >i... 1 --I ..j, ?..ra i>u|>, wit ntiw >il the story raised slowly iu his eoflin the next inoruing and looked around with no little wonder. Seeing the other man in the 6utnc fii, he shook his muddy head and rubbed his eyes and said: "LIcllo, stranger, can't you give an item ?" "You? why you're dead and buried." "You don't soy so." "Yes, but you ">re." "Well, you're iu the sutne Lad snap, ain't you "Yes, 1 am too." "Tour fellow ! Well, I must have died cry sudden; any how 1 was out on u reg I ular spree lust uiglit." "Oh, no, you are mistaken. You have been dead nnd Lutied these three years." "The devil I have! Well, it don't seem long to inc. How long have you been hero, I'd like to know "five years." "five, eh ! Well, ns you have been here longer than I have, nnd know the [ lace better, just tell mo where 1 eau get a good cocktail !" mm I? Ilrmcdlcs lor rvery-Duy .llala4llC8. Fur a Fit of' Passion.?Walk out in the open air; you may speak your mind to the winds without hurting any one, or proclaiming yourself a simpleton. Far a Fit ?'/ Idleness.?Count the ticking of a clock; do this for one hour, and you will be glad to pull oil your coat the next, uud work like a Trojan.

Who makes his 1 >ml i>f brier and thorn, Must be content to lie forlorn. Fx.r a Fit oj Ambition.?Go into the churchyard, and read the gravestones; they will tell you the end of ambition. The grave will soon he your bed chamber, the earth your pillow; corruption your lather, and the worm your mother and sister. Fur a Fit oj Ihnpundency.?Look on the good things which God has given you in this world, and to those which lie has promised to His followers in the next. He who goes into his garden to look for col? webs and spiders, no doubt, will tind them: while lie who looks for a iiowcr may return into his house with one blooming in his For oil fits of Doubt, Perplexity and FcarW-Whether they respect the body or the ininil?whether they are a load to the shoulders, tlie head, or the heart?the following is u radical cure which may be relied on, fur I had it from the (ireat Physician?"Cast thy burden on the Lord, and He trill sustain thee." For a fit of Jit pining.?Look about for the halt and the blind, and visit the bed ridden, and the afflicted and deranged; and they will make you ashamed of complaining of your lighter afflictions. Families Stanhino uv Each Other.? We publish the following from the American Presbyterian, for the excellent lesson it inculcates: Our readcis have observed in the state meats ae to the ! ield family, that they sccui to have been very successful. Wo are speaking, to be sure, without knowing the tacts perfectly, but we presume that this success is very much owing to their standing by each other. Home one saying in the presence of Sydney Smith, thar iiu hoped certain friends of theirs would live together iiko brothers, the eccentric but keen t'unou exclaimed, "Clod forbid!' lie bad known the interior lite of too many families. On this matter depends very materially succossand comfort in life. Some fain lies always present, in all their r ink-- an unbroken front to the world. Nothing can shake it. In nineteen case- out of twenty, such families characteristically d> well. Others are ready to fall out with each oiucr, Hcparato moie ami more widely, an 1 the result mentioned in the only perfectly wise I look follows: " A house divided against itself cannot stand." We hope our friends, especially, will ponder this suggestion. They may live to thank us for it. Language was given to us that wo might say pleasant things to each other. In nil thy quarrels leave open the door of conciliation. l'orgc injuries and rcmctnbor benefits ; if you grant a favor forget it; but if you receive ouc, remember it. A lady asked a noted doctor if he did not think the small bonnets the ladies wore had a tendency to produce a congestion of the brain. "Oh no," replied he; " ladios who havo brains don't wear them." I A man out West says that he moved so often during ono year, that whenever a covered wagon stopped at his gate, his chickens would fall on their bucks and hold up their lect, in order to be tied and thrown in.
