Two or three months before the brack? ets were hong up. a prisoner came from one1 of the Territories?an old, ssullen,-looking, "bad-tempered map, ;convicted of /robbing the mailsv They called him "Greg, as abort for Gregory, and it wasn't long before th.ey niade it "Ugly Greg.' i He was ugly. He refused to work, eared nothing for rules and regulations, and twenty-eight days out Of his first month were spent in the. "solitary" for bod be? havior. He was expostulated with, threatened and punished, but he had A will as hard as iron. .

No one said any tiling to hito? but the next morning, before he " went 'to' work, he ? carefully wifcaked the rose, and his eyes lost BomiMbtng, of, their sullen look. Would you believe that the little rose bush proved more powerful th/g^:%^gij(ments and threats of,the keepers? It did, strangely enough. As the days went by the old man lost his obstinacy and gloominess, and he (obeyed orders as weU and as cheer(uUy as the best staa prisen.

A few weeks ago he wan taken sick, and when he went to the hos? pital the rose tree went with him, and was placed where the warm sun could give it the nourishment it.needed. After a day or two it Was hoped that the old man would det better, but he kept sinking and grew feebler. So long as his eyes were open he would watch the rose, aud when he slept he seemed to dream of it. One day, when the nurse found an opening bud, ho re? joiced as heartily as if his pardon papers had arrived. The bud was larger next day, and the rose could be seen bursting through. The flower pot was placed on his bed, near the old man's pale face, that he might watch the bud blossom into a rose, and he was so quiet that the nurse did not approach him again for hours. The warm ?spring sun glided in through the bars and kissed the opening bud, and then fell off in showers over the old man's pale face, erasing every line of guilt and ugliness that had ever been raised. At noon, the nurse saw that the rose had blossomed, and she whis? pered in the old man's ear: "Greg, the rose has blossomed?wake up." He did not move. She felt his cheek and it was cold. Ugly Greg was dead. One hand rested under his gray locks, while the other clasped the flower-pot, and the new-born rose bent down until it almost touched his cold face. Hin life had gone out just when his weeks of weary watching for a blossom .were to be repaid; but the rose tree's mission was accom? plished. . Stay Whf.be Y?u Abe.<?One of the greatest drawbacks to Southern prosperity is the restive, roving and unsettled spirit of the people; each one imagines that there is an ?1 Dorado somewhere, or that some section in more prosperous than his own, and there he may accomplish almost anything. The idea unset? tles him, and if he does not "pull up" and migrate at once, he is for? ever thinking about it, and neglects to improve his present home and farm. This delusion has been wide spread since the war, aud much individual disaster has been the re? sult The curse of Reuben seems to rest upon the people. That ter? rible "TexaB fever," which so raged a few years ago, caused untold family misfortune, and ruined many excellent farms and farmers. It is a great mistake. Contentment is the great secret of life. Old Horace struck the right key when he said: "Happiness depends not upon place nor climate, but upon the state of one's mind," "Holling stones gather no moss," and the experiment of selling out and mov? ing, in the hope of bettering the condition, often ends in bitter dis? appointment axd irretrievable loss. Thousands in the South can testify, from experience, to the truth of this assertion. Better stay where you are. If you are in a good community, and your lands have bottom, drive down your pegs and locate. Remember that "there's more in the man than the land," as old Jones said on returning from Texas, after terrible failures, to the old worn-out homestead he had sold, aud found it blooming like a garden. Right up the old dwell? ings, renew the out buildings, palings, fences, and barns; spend a few dollars in white paint, and Sve the premises an air of cheer* Iness. Cultivate less ground and make it richer every year. Make plenty to eat, and some to sell, and let your cotton crop be clear profit Plant fruit trees, have your rye, oats, barley, wheat and clover patches, line horses, fat cows, and rich butter. Give your wives and daughters flower gardens, and as? sist them in collecting a good assortment of roots and cuttings. Do these simple things, and our word for it, your homes will take new hold upon your affections, and, instead of the rickety, dilapidated establishments and solemn, hungry looking countenances so common in our country, we Will find com* fortable and inviting homes, where all is love, contentment, and happi? ness. It will be like a colchian LITMBIA, S. C., TUESDAY onchantresK, infusing new juices into the veins for the prolongation j of life and'youth. Try it. Turn over a new leaf and begin anew. Fear God, love your neighbors, your, wives and children, and don't | try to get rich in one year. Teach your little ones to love their homes. There is u world of melody and sentiment in that immortal old ballad, i " Mid pleasures and palaces, wber'er we may roam, Bo it ever so bumble, thevc'.s no place like home." General Grant and the support? ers of the Force Bill will please take notice that the "second rebel? lion" has commenced in dead ear? nest, and that they may proceed to spread the war paint and sharp? en the scalping-knife as speedily as possible. That unhung traitor Jefferson Davis sounded the key? note of the new war in Houston, Texas, Friday, when he entreated the Texas veterans of the Mexican war "to be as loyal now to the stars and stripes as they were zealous and brave in defence of their first flag."

I A Cosy Retreat.?A raid was re? cently mado ou the illicit distillers ih South-west Virginia, and many ff them captured. One offender, " th a romantic turn of mind, had j overod n commodious cave, ough which meandered a crystal I km of water. Above it was a e hollow tree, with a number of is reaching out from the parent j mi. The enterprising mannfac er of tho ardent had managed convert this tree into a chimney, 'ough which the smoke from the tillery passed in indistinct clouds, Ijelng diffused in unnoticed quanti? ties to tho limbs and out into tho air. He had all the paraphernalia of a lirst class distiller}-, and was quietly squeezing the juice from the cereals, secluded and apart from the vulgar, prying, meddlesome outside world, when ofnciaus myr? midons of tho law interfered with hiff pastime. itt seems that the patient silence I of* i the imperturbable angler has betn just so much stillness wasted. The old notion that you can't catch a ftsh unless you keep quiet, must | now go down to oblivion, along with that other time-worn delusion, thfe belief that spitting on the bait j makes tish bite better. Seth Green, who knows a great deal about fish, and has spent much time studying their habits, thinks they cannot hear. He ouce had a band of music to range themselves around a tank of fish, and at a given signal blow their loudest blast, but not a fish stirred. They arc, however, very sensitive to jurs, and a Rlight tap on the bottom of a tank made the fish dart off like a flash. The report that Gen. Spinner, the retired Treasurer, had deter? mined to devote tho remainder oil his life to learning how to write his f name legibly, must have been a ca? nard. He says in a letter to Seth Green, that he is going to Florida next winter to tish. Tho spectacle of a good old man like our ex Treasurer passing his declining years on a shady bank, every now and then yanking out a specimen of the finny tribe, and not caring a cent how much the hook lacerates | their gills, is good enough for picture-book. "Among the incidents of yester? day," says a Memphis paper of the | 10th, "was an accidental meeting | in the public streets of Mrs. Jeff. Davis and Vice-President AYilson. Having been acquainted in years gone by, when Mrs. Davis resided at Washington, their mutual recog? nition was Instant and cordial, and | the two clasped bauds with friendly ardor, after which tho party went to an ice cream saloon, to discuss strawberries and ice and tho me? mories of the past." Nautical Problem.?Suppose the | good old ship Plymouth Church, full of passengers, should find her? self in a galo of wind, off a lee I shore, amid breakers, with engines stopped, masts carried away, half full of water and pumps choked? what would you do to save the lives of those on board? Answer (very promptly) ?Beecher. Twenty-three car-loads of oysters arrived in San Francisco, the other day, from tho East. The oysters were to be planted in San Francisco bay, to supply tho citizens with the luxury. Several ineffectual attempts have been made to start oyster-beds there.

Apropos of this experiment, a man in Paris, sentenced to the" guillo? tine, offers his place to any person having a curiosity to experience the feeling of decapitation. Great excitement in a rich family at the disappearance of a gold snuff-box, richly set with brilliants; and equal satisfaction when young gentleman of six acknowledged he had utilized it as a coffin and buried it' with his pet canary in the yard.
