And remember no roses C Will spring from the weed; t And no beautiful fruit From the unworthy seed. How many a stripling In trouble to-day, JJy riotos living With comrades too gay; I With character shipwrecked And duties undone, Will do sorrow's harvesting "In the long run."

'Certainly not,' acquieseed Miss d Foxe. 'But I dare say he's engaged,' a Slyly remarked the plump widow, b with a sidelong glance of her green s eyes, which seemed to dilate and b cntract, like those of a middle- b ged cat, with the stealthy in ensity of her interest. 'No, he's not,' and Miss Foxe. e 'At least, I beard him tell Colonel opley that he was entirely fancy i free.' 'H.umphb!' said Mrs. Brush by. t Then there's~ no reason why he boul.c$r't rpg.rry and settle hero in xmar.'-t 'Exmar, indeed !' said Miss Foxe, who had accepted her own ld maidenhood as a foregone con-r cusion. 'There's nobody here fort im to marry-only factory girls, and Colonel Copley's six daugh-i ers, the youngest of whom is tree-and twenty, to select from.' 1 Thbe green eyes scintillated 1 sharply.r 'Why shouldn't he marry either you or me, Felicia Foxe ?' -asked irs. .Brushby. Miss Foxe gave a sort of gasp, s if she bad attempted to swallow. some morsel too large for her. 'Why, he ain't thirty !' said' se. t I 'Neither am I,' said Mrs. Brush by. 'Now, Cornelia Brushby, there ain't no sort of use coming that game over me,' said Miss Foxe, fairly aroused at last into antago nism. 'You was eight-and-twen ty wvhen you married Brusbby, and he's been dead and buried these ten good years !' Mrs. Brushby laughed. 'Felicia,' said she, 'you're worse thans an old family record. Don't you see, there's people older than their years, and people younger ? I'm one of the latter; and I don't see whby I can't marry Mr. Selwyn, if once I make up my mind to do So sirs. Brushby took up the three pounds of brown stocking yarn that she had been buying at Felicia Foxe's thread-and-needle, store, and went home. Her niece, a tail, pale girl, with lusterless yellow hair, like braids of dead gold, a transparently pile kin and sad hazel eyes, was set ting the table. 'How slow you are, Clara !' said Mrs. Brushbby, snappishly. 'I sup posed, of course, tea would be all -ready by the time I came back.' 'I am sorry for the delay, aunt,' Esaid Clara, timidly ; 'but I was de tained at the factory. There was extra work, and-' 'There-that will do ! sharply nterrupted Mrs. Brushby. -1 don't ee wby you need be flinging the 'actory in my f'ace all the time. )h, it's bad enough to have a iece obliged to drudge for her iving, witbaut bearing of it forty imes a day.' The deep scarlet glow mounted nto Clara Cone's transparAnt heeks. 'I could not pay you my board, ,unt,' said she, 'if I did not earn he money within the four walls f the factory. But if the subject s disagreeable to you, I will en eavor to avoid it as much as ossible for the future.' It was now six months since lara Cone had arrived, a home ess orphan, with all her worldly elongings packed in shabby lit le leather traveling bag at Mrs. rushby's door, when the evening tage rolled up the street. 'Aunt,' she said, trying to re ross the rising sob in her throat, rill you give tue a home ? I am our sister's orphan daughter.' Mrs. Brushby had received her s cordi4lly as a fish might have one. 'I suppose you'll have to stay,' aid Mrs. Brushby surlily. But I idn't die and leave a swarm of rpbans for my sisters to take are of. Oh, yes, you can stay, nd perhaps I can find you a sit. ation as -uressmaker's apprentice r shop girl, somewhere! Be. ause, of course, no one can ex ect me to keep a great girl like ou for nothing.' Upon which Clara bestirred erself actively, and had been eartily thankful to obtain a place a the pin factory, in the glep be. Dw the village, where half a bun red other pale-faced operatives worked for a scanty livelihood ; nd Mrs. Brush by charged her a igh price for board and got a ervant-maid's work out of her efore and after hours into the argain. 'I should like to go to chairch, int,' Clara had ventured to say ne Sunday morning, when the aples in the glen were all blaz ag in their autumn colors, and be crisp autumn sunshine turned e village spires to gold. 'That's just like your selfieb iess, Clara Cone !' said Mrs. Brush 'y, acidly. 'And let rps st4y at ime ; for, of course, one of us nust remain, to see that we're iot robbed by tramps. and to cook be dinner.' 'But .couldn't I go in the even ng, aunt ?' 'Certainly not !' said Mrs. Brush >y, with emphasis. 'I belong to be 'Rebecca Band,' which always neets in the chapel of Sunday ~venings, and ]I)eacon 4alsteadc alls for me in his box-wagon. If ou feel so piously inclined,' with covert sneer, 'you can read your )rayer-boolg at,bm. And so Clara Cone found her clf gradually degeneratmng into he merest household drudge, un ier her aunt's iron rule. She went 3owhere and saw nobody. 'Pretty !' Mrs. Brushby would scornfully remark, when a neigh >or chanced to hazard an opinion toncerning her niece. 'Nonsense ! rast exactly like a colorless celery prout that has grown in the eel ar-and never a word to say for herself !' And if, by any chance, Clara was invited to join in any of m neigh borhood festivities, Mrs. Brush by made haste to decline for 'Clara never goes out,' said she, 'she has no taste for such things, poor. dear.' Unei people began actually to believe that Clara Cone was either recluse or an idiot. The pale factory-girl bad just taken the tea-pot off the stove, upon this especial evening, whben Mrs. Brush by uttered an excla matonl of surprise. 'Wisk the things into the closet-quick, Clara !' said she. 'Put the bread behind the family Bible. Don't leave that bottle of pickles on the mantle. Mr. Selwyn is coming.' A ruinute and a half later, Mrs. B3rushby, in hor best black~ silk apron, greeted the young clergy man WiLh her sweetest smile. 'My visit is intended to youi niece, Miss Cone, as well as tc yourself,' said Mr. Selwyn, afte1 the topic of the weather had beer duly discussed and exhausted. 'Oh, Clara,' said Mrs. Brushby simpering-'Clara wishes to b< excused. Clara sees no company I really regret the dear gi:l's ec. centricity, but-' And she rolled her green eye, heavenward, with a deprecating motion of the hands. 'She never comes to church, said Mr. Selwyn, gravely, 'Ah-h-h !' groaned - Mrs. Brush, 'her heart is like the nethei miflstone. If you knew, dear Mr Selwyn, how I have striven with her !' Mr. Selwyn looked ^oncerned 'I am beginning a series of ser mons to young people this next Sunday evening,' he said. 'Pray use your utmost endeavors to in. duce this young givl to attend I' And -Mrs. Brushby promised that she w ould, and the young clergyman took his leave. * * * * * * 'You must !' said Mrs. Brushby. Please, please, aunt, don't ask me !' said Clara, with tears in the dark, limpid eyes. 'What a goose you are!' said Mrs. Brushby. 'As if it made any earthly difference ! And I must have the dress to wear to church to-morrow evening. Mr. Selwyn, is to preach the first of a series of sermons to youug people, and I'm specially interested in 'em.' 'But 1 never sewed on Sunday in my life.' 'The dressmaker has disappoint ed me, and I tell you I must have the dress. A few seams and flounces more or less-what do they tnatter ? I'll risk your soul And nobody need ever know. And only think, Clara Cone, what I've done for you!' 'Oh, aunt, I can't !' cried Clara, in 4 phoked voice. it wouldn't be right.! 'And who set you up as a jadge of right and wrong, I'd like tc know ?' almost screamed Mrs. Brushby. 'Now take your choice -either finish up this cashmere dress for me by Sund4y noon, or leave this house !' Clara was silent for a moment then she spoke ; 'I will leave the house,' she sid. . . 'And I fully indorse and ap. prove your decision,' said Mr Selwyn's voice as he stepped it from the open-doored portico where his knock had been drown. ed by the high accents of Mrs Brushby's vituperations. 'LeavE the house, Miss Cone, and I wil see that a refuge is provided foi you at the home of Miss Foxe.' Mrs. Brushby stood startled and dismayed. Clara Cone, pale anc silent, laid her hand upon tbh minister's offered arm, and lefl the room and the house. Honest Miss Foxe was amazet when Clara Cone took refuge witi er. 'Well,' she declared,.'I alwayi knew that Cornelia B3rushby wal a regular grinder, but I did sup pose she had some Christian de cncy about her. Yes, child you're w elcome to my spare room and I shan't charge you any board I dare say you'll lend a handt, no'i and then, when I'm busy ; anc your company '11 be a deal o comfort to me.' But Miss Foxe didn't have tha 'comfort' long. Mr. Selwyn ha< become deeply interested in th< pale, clear-eyed factory girl, and befo the wild roses blossomne< along the verge of the woods, th( parsonage bad a mistress, an Mr. Selwyn no longer came unde the head of 'unmarried clergy men.' Mrs. Brush by's tender aspira tions were blighted in the bud but a bald-beaded old bachelo bought tbe factory just about tbg time, and Mirs. Brushby tran~ ferred her attentions to the new comer-and, with many nods ani winks, she gives the general puL lic to understand that Mr. Selwy1 is her rejected lover. 'You see,' says Mrs. Brushby with her green eyps of conftdig, artlessuess uplifted, 'I never coul reconcile myself to the trial's of minist er's wife !' HOW NOT TO PRAY. A Curious Example Cited by the Congrega tionalist. The Congregationalist, in an ar ticle beaded 'Poor Preaching in Public Prayer,' wonders 'if some of the ministers of the gospel have any idea bow much and how t poorly they preach when they think they pray in public.' The I writer says : 'God is omniscient. Why, then, should He be dis coursed to, and this and that be doctrinally or practically explain ed to Him ?' Tbe editor contin ues as follows: 'If we were not afraid of the perilous edge of ridicule of sacred things, we should be tempted to illustrate what we mean by what we can recall of the manifestation of the fault to which we refer in a late example. We will tone it < down as much as may be, pre ferring to risk flatness in place of ] something worse. ] The speaker informed the Lord f that it was a singularly beautiful g morning, and that after thi storm 4 the ocean was very quiet ; that r calms after storms are exceeding- f ly pleasant, and indeed useful; that after a man has been very angry, and gets over it, he ha. a chance a to be ashamed of himself; that storms themselves are salutary, and do - things good in a general t way; that the sun never seems so t bright, and earth such an agree able residence as after a few days of cloudy weather and the gloom of storms; that it is a blessed thing to have sunshine in our hearts, and we all may have it if we will but remember that God is the great Sun who shines for all, and open those hearts to His gra cious shining; that our tears of penitence may be considered rain drops which will fertilize the'dry and thirsty earth of our good res olutions, desiccated by procrasti nation, whibic is the thbief of time; tbat the brightness of morning, it1 behooves us to remember, how ever, introduces quite often the fervors of the mid-day of toil, and -the lengthening shadows of sen ility ; that we all mast die, and that some die in the morning of life, while others last till the sere and yellow leaf of a tremulous old age flutters to the1 ground, and leaves them-to die at last ; that many of us are now1 in the mid-day of the world's anxieties and sublunary concerns ; that each morning sees some task begin, each evening sees it close. 0 may something attempted, something done, have earned a night's repose ; that the past week has been one of good health geu rally in this congregatio" for which we hope we are duly thank ful; that the fields seem to prom ise to be fertile, and the husband, man may rea'sonably anticipate a prosperous season, provided in the morning he sow his seed, and in the evening withhold not his band from the (why didn't he say potato bugs and be done with it?) protection of his nascent crops from those mysterious marauders which seem to have been per mitted by an infinitely wise Prov idence to remind us once more that the price of' liberty is eternal vigilance; that-we stopped, re membering just then, and our mind wandered.

The favorable report of the United States Engineer upon the practicabili- 0 y of oppning the Wataree and Santee tE Rivers to navigation should enecourage a enewed effort to secure boating fa- P :ilities on the Broad and Congaree it Rivers, so that boats may have unob- f tructed passage from the mountains C o the sea. 0f A small appropriation having been P nade by Congress for a survey of Il 3road River, Mr. J.

Reed Stone.y. t dr. Carson. at the request of Colonel bi 3. P. Pearce, Chairman of the Com- tb nittee on navigation of the Columbia C 3oard of Trade, gives a summary of o its report, which is as follows, viz: ?l I recommend that the river be P' pened to a uniform channel of five h( ,ards wide and two feet deep from P 3u11 sluice to the foot of Ninety-Nine di land Shoals, a distance of ninety- is our nd a quater miles, at a cost of h 37,00; repairing the old Lochhart P( 3anal $5,000; a channel from Ninety- r tine Islands to Green River, N.

A. GILLMORE, f Lieutenant-Colonel of Engineers, Bre- 0 vet.Majo.r General U. S. A. In a communication to the Hon. " I. H. Evins, member of Congress, upon this subject, the Chairman of the Committee says: "It strikes me t that this condition does justify and 5 oudly call for a cheaper method of 14 transportation of his cotton and other f productions to market for one-third its present cost. With cheap trans portation a larger area would be ~ planted, lands would increase in value and emigrants would be attracted ; to ay nothing of the effect it would a bave upon the development of the minera-l resources of the State and in giving additional value to timber lands.'' The opening of these rivers to nav- r igation is of greater importance to C the State tht even cottQn manufac tre. Will the State Convention, which assembles here on the 1st r proximo, take a little time to consider these questions which affect the ma terial prosperity of the State ? Will our Senators and Representatives in Congress take up this matter in earn. est ? Will not the people of the , tate join in petitioning Congress to open the Broad, Congaree, Wateree ad Santee Rivers for steam naviga- r tion ?-no pole boat arrangement; ; -that is too slow for South Carolina. j< Alexander being asked how hei conquered the world, replied: 'By n not delaying.'

The question presen d by this case is whether a State ter having chartered a lottery com my and entered into a contract with still has a constitutional right be re the expiration of the time of the rmpany's charter and in the absence any defaulton the company's part to Lss laws making the conducting of a ttery, whether authorized or unau orized, an offence against the State. the present ease the State brought it to suppress the lottery known as the ississippi Agricultural, Educational d Manufacturing Aid Society, char red by the State in 1867, but for dden by Article 12, Section 15, of e State Constitution of 1868. The ircuit Court .entered judgment of Lster against the respondents, which, on appeal, was affirmed by the Su -eme Court of the State. This Court >lds that although the lottery cora tny of the plaintiffs in error was ily chartered by the State, the Leg lature which granted that charter id no authority to bargain away the >lice power of the State, that is the gulation of all matters affecting the iblic health and public morals; that tteries are demoralizing in their Fects, no matter how carefully regu ted, cannot, in the opinion of this Durt, be doubted. There is now arcely a State in the Union where ey are tolerated, and Congress has acted a special statute, the object which is to close the mails against em. This being the case there can no question that lotteries are proper bjects for the exercise of State gov nmental or police power. Contracts hich the Federal Constitution pro ets are those which relate to property ghts, not to governmental rights. otteries belong to the latter class. hey are a species of gambling and roug in their influences. They dis trb the checks and balance of a well -dered cumumunity. Society built on Leh foundations would almost of ne issity bring forth a population -of yeculators and gamblers, living on te expectation of what chance might vard them from the accumulations of hers. Certainly the right to stop 1e is -governmental, and can be ex -cised at all times by those in power their discretion.
