The Death of Flowers. UT WILLIAM CCXLEX BBTAX. The melancholy days arc come, The saddest of the year, Of. wailing winds nnd naked woods, And meadows brown and scar. Heap'd.in the hollows of the grove, The withcr'd leaves lie dead. They rustic to the eddying gust, AM to the rabbit"3 tread. Th? robin and Ihewrcn are flown, And from the shrnbs the jay, . And from tha wood-:op calls tho crow, Through alljthc gloomy, day. "Where arc the Sowers, the fair young flowers, Thatdatoly S] ran ? and stood ? In brighter light atfd softer "airs, A beauteous sisterhood ? ... Alas! thej all ayq in their graves; The gentle race of flowers, Arc lying in their lowly beds, With the fair and good of ours. The rain is falling where they lie, But the cold November rain Calls not, from out the gloomy earth, The lovely ones again. tfc{ yr ..' ??* ? ?'? " ' The wind-flower and the violet, They pcrish'd'long ago, And the bricr-rosc and the archins died, Amid the summer glow ; But ou the hill the golden-rod, And the aster in the wood, And the yellow sun-flower by the brook, fir autumn beamy stood, Til! fell the frost from the clear, cold heaven, As falls the plague on men, And the brightness of their smile was gone, From upland, glade, and glen. Andjiow, when comes the calm, mild day, As still such days wiil come, To call the squirrel and the bee a From out their winter homo ; ? When the sound of dropping nuts is henrd, Though all the trees are still, Afra twinkle in the smoky light The waters of the rill, The south wind searches for the flowers Whose fragrance late he bore, And sighs to find them in the wood And by the streams no more. * "And then I think of one who in Her youthful beauty died, The fair, meek blossom that grew up * And faded by my side : "In the cold, moist earth wc laid her, When the forest cast the leaf. .v-And wc wept that one so lovely Should have a life so bi-icf: Yet not unmeet it was that oiic'^ Like that young friend of ours, So gentle, and so beautiful, Should'perish with the flowers. Joys and 'Sorrows. ""Still where rosy pleasure leads ..See a kindred grief pursue? Behind tho steps that misery treads Approaching comforts view." .Life is a continued succession of joys specd'and journeying through a diversi? fied land, successively meets with weari? some and delightful scenery; so we, trav? ellers on life's high wqy, are tho recipients now of plcasuwblc sensations, now of those that c-tnsc us lassitude and disquiet! Never should the youthful heart impose upon itself, with the treacherous hopo of passing a life unruffled by incidental storms! " Into each life, some rain must fall, Some '!'iy^,^^: lark and dreary." Nor shouiii*'one, whose lot perchance for a tyne has seemed unpropitious, suffer himself Lu become th'S sport of fears and apprehension l-hht Iiis life is to be made up wholly of sorrow. "Tho web of our is of a mingled yarn jM joy and grief alter? nate. By some undetected provision of Nature, sadness and pleasure tire made to succeed each other. And with what wis? dom; for intermingled woes serve but to iinpart" to pleasures a sweetened flavor. As the light bursts upon us with more ? beauteous effulgence when the sun-exclu? ding clouds have passed away, so the bosom is filled with deeper thrills of joy, when the mitrkcy gatherings of misery in the soul yield to the benignant sun? beams of prosperity! In the chalice of lifo there seems not to be the same mixture for all. Here, an in? dividual seems to be struggling through an incessant storm of ills?there, to' be calmly at rest in a storraless and sunny clime. And is it safe to suppose, though the exterior is by no means a sure crite? rion of the inward emotions, that the evils do not beset tho pathway of all! But since pleasure, recurring at long intervals, is therefore the more grateful to the heart, let each one bear patiently the misfor? tunes incident to life, and from the sunny hours of pleasure, he will gather the most exquisite delight! -: Not Enumerated.?A wag has made up the following summary of what he calls the " Inalienable rights of Ameri? cans," and which are enumerated in the Declaration of Independence: To know any trade or business without an apprentice or experience. ? To marry without regard to fortune state of health, position, or opinion of pa? rents or friends. To have wife ant1 children dependent on contingencies of business, and, in case of sudden death, leave wholly unpro? vided for. ? To put off upon hireling strangers the literary, moral, and. religious education of children. To enjoy tho general sympathy when made bankrupt by reckless speculation. To cheat the Government, if possible. To hold office without being competent to discharge its duties. Unhappiness in Families. It is obvious to observant persons that almost all serious difficulties bctwcon mar? ried parties grow out of the most insignif cant beginnings, that might have boon, swept out of existence at the outset. In too many eases of marriage one par? ty is apt to expect the other perfect. The husband looks for traits in his wife which he lias long since despaired of ever dis? covering in himself; and tho wife often calculates on finding a model in the char? acter of her husband which is morally in? consistent with human nature. Much of the torture of the disappointment met witli on both sides might be removed, if the thousand and one disguises, not to call them deceits, which arc practiced with so fatal a success by both parties be? fore matrimony, were all torn away. If two persons will not use their practical common sense in their acquaintance with each other before marriage, they must ex? pect to find a mass of rough experience in store for them after its consummation. If parties who desire to join their for? tunes for life have any good sense, they ought to employ it in making discoveries, with reference to each other's disposition. More than half the little bickerings that constantly arise between husband and wife under the infirmities of human na? ture, would all die out of themselves or dry up like thin grass before the genial warmth of natural affection, if they were not studiously, but in a most mistaken manner, paraded before the attention of others. We .know that a [bruised spirit needs sympathy and consolation. That is natural. But what sort of sympathy h that which mere busy-bodies show one who takes advantage of the confidence reposed in them only to widen the breach they have discovered, and to swell the torrent of passion they know the}- never could diminish! Those who are least in? terested in the matter?those who create and report scandal for thcir'own gratifica-1 cation?busy-bodies and fast-talkers who insinuate themselves where they should never be allowed to go?these arc the ones who, in too many instances, help on the misunderstanding.and trifling disaf? fection between married parties, and their triumph is only complete when the rup? ture has become notorious and final. If such persons could have less to do with the family matters of others, there is but little doubt that those mailers would take much better care of themselves. The married state is by no means a state of perfect happiness. We must en? ter upon it resolved and expecting to have to " bear with one another's infirmities." "We arc but mortal, and they who gen? erally expect and-demand the nearest ap ally be found to have a very indefinite idea of tlic terra themselves. The nearest we may go to real- happiness in the mar? ried and social state is by practising a system of mutual forbearance and conces? sion. If more of this were practised, and less broodings over wrongs and neglects, too often imaginary, were indulged in, we should hear far less of troublesome cases, and sec much more of unalhrycd enjoyment in families.?Hartford Courant. -* Hints for Parents and Teachers.? A parent, in any stat ion of life whatever, may and ought bestow half an hour, or an houi'j every day, in instructing his chil? dren in the most useful of all knowledge nor is there anything !<? hinder a master of a private seminary of education to be? stow generally an hour every day, and more on Sunday s, in instructing t he youth under his care in the principles of pru? dence, morality, and religion. This may bo digested into a scheme of twenty or thirty lectures, beginning from the very foundation, and going thr< nigh all the prin eipal particulars of our duty to CJod, our neighbor, and ourselves, and from thence proceeding to a view of fundamental iloc trfnes, evidences, and laws of revealed re? ligion. In all which there is nothing but what may be brought down to the appre? hension of very young minds, by pro? ceeding gently and suiting one's express? ions to the weak capacities of the learn? ers, r -o Industry.?All exertion is in itself de? lightful, and active amusement seldom tires its. liclvetius owns that ho could hardly listen to a concert for two hours, though he could phi}' on an instrument all day long. In all pursuits, efforts, it must not be forgotten, arc as indispensa? ble as desires. The globe is not to be cir? cumnavigated by one wind. We should never do nothing. f;Itis better to wear out than to rust out," saj-s Bishop Cum? berland. " There will be time enough for repose in the grave," said Arnauld to Nicole. In truth, the proper rest for man is occupation. -+ Absence of Fear not Always a sign op Courage.?Every passion becomes weak in proportion as it isfamilar with its object. Evil must be considered as the object of fear; but the passion is excited only whon the evil becomes probable; or, in other words, when we arc in danger. As the same" evil may become probable many ways, there are several species of danger?that danger to which men arc continually exposed, soon becomes familar and fear is no longer excited. This, how? ever, must not be considered as an exam? ple of courage; for equal danger of any other kind will still produce the same de? gree of fear in the same mind. tmtmmmmmmmm-Mmmmmmmmmam?-MmnMm~aam mammmcamxxms The Chemistry of Nature. If wc trace back the history of our world into those remote eras of which the early rocks arc records, wc shall discover that the same chemical laws were operating then which control the changes of matter now. At ono period the earth was a huge mass of fiery fluid, which radiating or throwing offbeat into space, gradually cooled, and became surrounded with a sol? id crust, cntombling Within it a seething chaos of intenscls heated materials, which now assert their existence in the shock of the earthquake, and the awful outbreak of the volcanic fires. On later ages, when the crust had cooled still more, and the atmosphere let fall its showers, the still heated surface, hissing and roaring with the contact of the flood, was rent into enormous blocks, and dreadful abysses; which still remain all over the world, and from the wondrous monuments of an age of great convuleions. Later, still the seas gather together, the rocky masses were powdered into dust by the delicate fingers of the dew and the shower, and green 1 herbs sprang up and monsters of the slimy deep appeared in obedience to the Crea? tors fiat, and the whole earth became a home of beauty in obedience to chemical law. Tho ceaseless play of the elements, and the imitations of the atoms, had built up the whole into one gorgeous s enc of luxuriance; and man was awakened into being to render the whole subservient to Ids wishes ; and by tracing out the har? monies of the natural world, to arrive at a more exalted knowledge of his Maker. The atom of charcoal which floated in the corrupt atmosphere of the old volcanic ages, was absorbed into the leaf of a fern when the valleys became green and luxu? riant; and therein its proper place, it received the sunlight and the dew, aiding to fling back to heaven a reflection of heaven's gold, and at the same time to build the tough fibre of the plant. That same atom was confined to the tomb when the waters submerged the j tingled valleys. It had lain thousands of years, and a month since was brought into light again, imbedded in a block of coal. It shall be consumed to warm our dwelling, cook our food, and make more ruddy and cheerful the earth, whereon our children play; it shall combine with a portion of the invisi? ble atmosphere, ascend upward as a curl? ing wreath to reveal in a mazy dance up high in the blue ether?shall reach earth again, and be entrapped in the embrace of a flower?shall live in the velvet beauty on the check of an apricot?shall press in? to the human body, giving enjoyment to the palate, and health of the blood?shall circulate in the delieatc tissues of the brain. and aid, bv entering into some new coin Txrmmon, in errrre11ig me tfioTigrris wTrrcir arc now being uttered by the pen. It is but an atom of charcoal.?it may dwell one moment in a stagnant ditch, and the next be flushing to the lip of beaut}*?it may now be a component of limestone rock, and the next moment an ingredient in the field of potatoes?it may slumber for a thousand years without undergoing a single change, and the next hour pass through a thousand; and after all. it is on? ly at atom of charcoal and occupies only its own place, wherever it may be. - Kindness.?That there is stored up in every human breast -a great deal more kindness than is ever spoken'?a latent disposition.whieh is ready and often ea? ger, to manifest itself on suitable occa? sions in generous sympathy for our fel? lows, and in kind actions, is a truth of ea? sy and daily verification. Some are en? dowed with it in a larger, others in a smaller degree; circumstances foster its activity in one class, and repress it in an? other; but there is not, perhaps a bosom so cold, so crushed, that has not its gentle moment'), and to whose good offices there is not some avenue of approach, could we but clearly discern it. Indeed, tiie world knows not the wealth of the loving am! loveablc nature it contains. We often re? main for years unsuspecting the kindness that exists in some one of the compara? tively few who are personally known to US, until an accident reveals it. How much, then, of mute, unnoted goodness must lie in the boundless sea of the un? known that hems us round. -* The Roman SentInel.?When Pompeii was destroyed, there were man}- buried in the ruins of it, who were afterwards found in very different situations. There were some found who were in the streets, as if they had been attempting to make their escape. There were some found in deep vaults, as if they had gone thither for security. There were some found in loft}* chambers. But where did they find the Roman sentinel? They found him standing at the city gate, with his hand still grasping the war weapon, whore he had been placed by his captain- and there, while the heavens threatened him: there, while the earth shook beneath him: thevc, while the lava stream rolled, he had stood at his post: and there, after a thousand years had passed away, was he found. -? A Common Enemy.?The evils insepa? rably annoxed to the present condition of man arc so numerous and afflictive.that it has been, from age to age, the task of some to bewail, and of others to solace them; and he, therefore, will be in danger of seeing a common enemy, shall attempt to depreciate the few pleasures and felici? ties which nature has allowed us. The Annual Resurrection.?As the day dies into night, so doth the summer iuto winter. The sap is said to descend into the root, and there it lies buried in the ground. The earth is covered with snow, or crusted with frost, and becomes a general sepulchre; when the spring ap pcareth, all bsgin to rise; the plants and flowers peep out of their graves, revive, grow and flourish. This is the annual resurrection. The corn, by which we live, and for want of which wo perish with famine, is, notwithstanding, cast upon the earth, and biried in the ground with a de? sign that it may civrrupt, and being cor? rupted, may revive and multiply. Our bodies arc fed with this constant experi? ment, and wd continue this present life by a succession of resurrections. Thus all things are repaired by corrupting, are preserved by perishing, and revive by dy? ing. And can we think that man, the lord of all these things, which thus die and revive far him, should be detained in death, so as never to live again ? Is it imaginable that God should thus restore man to himself? If there were no other considerations, but of the principles of hu? man nature, of the liberty and remnncra bility of human actions, and of natural re? volutions and resurrections of other crea? tures, it were abundantly sufficient to render the resurrection of our bodies highly probable.?Bishop Pearson. -* Vivid Contrast.?Sec the wrathful thunder cloud?the fiery bed of the light? nings and hissing hail?the cradle of tempests arid floods ? "What can be more dark, more dreamy, more dreadful ? Say. scoffing skeptic, is it capable of any beau? ty? You pronounce, ' no.' "Well, very well, but behold while sneering denial curls your proud lips, the sun with his sword of light shines through the sea of vapors, in the West, r,nd laughs in your incredulous face with his fine golden eye. 2sow, look again at the thunder-cloud! .See where it was blackest and fullest of gloom, the sunbeams have kissed its hideous cheek ; and where the kiss fell there is now a blush brighter than ever mantled on the brow of mortal maiden?the rich blush of crimson aid gold, purple and vermillion? a pictured blush, fit for the gaze of an? gels?the flower-work of pencils of fire and light, wrought at a dash by one stroke of the right iiand of Cod! Aye. the ugly cloud hath given birth to the rainbow, that perfection and symbol of unspeakable beauty."?Basnnoc. - The Contrast.?There is a place on earth, where pure joys arc unknown? from which politeness is banished, and has given place to selfishness, contradic? tion and half-veiled insults. Remorse and luqiliuu'Mh invu\k that are iTevcr Wea? ry of assailing, torment the inhabitants. This place is the house of a wedded pair, who have no mutual love nor even es? teem. There is a place on earth, to which strife has no entrance?where the gloomy passions have no empire?where pleasure and innocence live constantly together? where care and labors are delightful? where every pain is forgotten in recipro? cal tenderness?where there is an equal enjoyment of the past, the present, and the future. It is the house, too of a wed? ded pair; but a pair who, in wedlock, arc lovers still. The Consequences of Dissipation.? Those who see something charming in being" a buster," and delight in the fas fascinations of such draughts of bliss as milk punch, egg-nog, Tom-and-Jerry, port wine sangarce, etc., will think well, and possibly do well, by remembering the fol? lowing u sad calamities* which attend up? on the career of the " hard drinker ":? Headaches, sickness at the stomach,empty pockcts, debts, quarrels, enemies, disgrace, remorse, idleness, loss of business, and loss of friends, shame, domestic unbappiness. indigestion, poor appetite, base compan? ions, rusly clothes?including shocking bad hats, burstcd boots, ventilation stockings, awful shirts, darned bad vests, threadbare coats and discouraged pantaloons?bad name with the grocer, batcher and milk? man. -7~.?* genius.?It is interesting to notice how somcjminds seem almost to create them? selves springing up under every disadvan? tage, and working their solitary but rrre sistible way through a thousand obsta? cles. Nature seems to delight in disap? pointing the assiduties of art, with which it would rear dullness to maturity! but to glory in the vigor and luxuriance of her chance productions. She scatters the seeds of genius to the winds, and though sonic may perish among the stony places of the world, and some may be choked by the thorns and brambles of early adversi? ty, yet others will now then strike root even in the clefts of the rock, struggle bravely up into sunshine, and spread over their sterile birth-place all the beauties of vegetation.?Irving. -4? A Great Man.?A great man common? ly disappoints those who visit him. Th<3y arc on the look-out for his thunderin?* and lightening, and he speaks about common things much like other people; nay, sometimes he may even be seen laughing. Ho proportions his exertions to his excite? ments; having been accustomed to con? verse with deep and lofty thoughts, it is not to be expected that he will flare or sparkle in ordinary chit-chat. One sees no pebbles gittenng at the bottom of the Atlantic. Tiie Wind.?Let rric ask, who among us docs not feel a sad sensation steal over them, as the}' hear, whistling through the surrounding trees and over the hill tops, and even through our dwellings, the sigh? ing and mourning wind ? At one time, it comes low and thrilling, like the moan of departing spirits going to their long and silent home, never to return. It then re? minds us of our friends that have gone be? fore us; it tells the mournful tale that we, too, must meet them in their abode, where we shall rest secure from all the cares and delusions of this cold and unfeeling world, and of our ungracefulncss to Him. the au? thor of our being and the preserver of our lives. We are living on, days, weeks, months, and even years, unmindful of the many blessings we receive, unconscious of the flight and rapidity of time. The mourning winds recalls to our minds the long buried thoughts of years gone by, when some dear friend was present to sympathise with us in all our troubles, cares and griefs, mingling alike with us in our joys and sorrows ; now, alas ! that friend lies cold in the tomb! In the holy bands of friendship we lived happily, un? mindful of the fell ,destroyer, Death, thoughtless of the morrow; yet the whis? pering and a calm retreat, far away from the cares of this earthly abode, carrying us in thought on the vale where sorrow and weeping are unknown. The sighing of the winds of Heaven, often calls tears unbidden from the eyes of the tender? hearted and thoughtful, yet it is relief-to mind of happiness gone for ever. Boston Post. ?-<? Flo ivers.'? A mong all the pleasant things of life?the nil-bountiful hand of Provi? dence has scattered the path of our days with innumerable pleasant things, if man would but enjoy them?among all the pleasant things of life, there are few more pleasant than a walk in a flower garden before breakfast on a sunshiny morning. To see those mute and still, though not motionless creatures?we mean the blos? soms opening their painted bosoms to the bencficient rays which give them their color and their loveliness?welcoming the calm blessingof the light, as if with grati? tude, and seeking, in their tranquil state of being, for nothing lmt the good gifts of God, might well afford a monitory lesson ; for crory thing in nature has its homily, to us, the eager hunters after fictitiouscn joymcnt.

Ncwbcrry District being one of the richest Cotton Districts in South Carolina, her people arc large commuters of every kind of merchandize. The CONSERVATIST, therefore, furnishes one of the best mediums in the State for advertisers, so far as Ncwbcrry District is concerned, while it enjoys a fair circulation in the surrounding Districts. The terms for inserting advertisements arc certainly as reasonable as those of any other journal in the country, especially when it is desired to advertise by contract. The COKSERVATIST numbers among its con? tributors gentlemen of the first talent and soundest political faith. With their assistance, the editor will endeavor to make his journal an acceptable and ever welcome family newspaper and fire-side companion. The political character of the paper is of the strongest States Rights stamp. Relieving that the Constitution under which the Confederacy of the American States was formed, has been repeatedly and grossly violated, and that "the Plantation States" have been the only sufferers?that the Union of these States is no longer a policy founded on the principles of right and justice, but that the bond of Union is "the cohesive power of public plunder'!?the proprietors prefer that their journal shs-ll rather seem to be a Southern Extremist than appear an unconditional advocate of the Union at any price.
