, . TH.? Sabbath. BX Wn.LI?Jt' HOWITT. What spell . has o'er tho /popakm* vit? patftTcd? . The wonted current of its life is stayed: Its sports, its gainful shrines, are earth? ward cast, * Li though their vileness w?r? at once displayed; . ' . Tho roar of trade has,ceased, and on the ah? ?teme holy songs and sol?run sounds of prayer. Far spreads tho elana- from every hamlet spiro Aad note of rea i and lieavenw?rd.thought is ptaled: . By his calm hearth reclines the peasant siro:. ' * ? ' ' ? The toii-worr. steed basks hi the breezy field. * Within, without, through farm and cottage blest, . * Tie one* bright day of gladness ??ad of rest. Down from their mountain dwellings, whilsj the dew Shines on the heath bells-, and the f?rn is blending In the fresh oroeze, in festive garbs I view Childhood and ago, and -buoyant youth descending. God, who hast piled thy wonders rouud their home, ?Tis in ?hy love t>ey to thy temples com?. A stately ship speeds o'er the mighty main: Ol many a league from our own" happy land; Yet from its heart ascends thc choral strain; Fpr th?Ve ita little isolated band,' Amid the ocean desert's awful roar, Praise Him whose love links shore to shore. O'er palmy woods, where summer radiance falls, In the glad islands of the Indian main, What thronging crowds the missionary calls To raise to Heaven the Christian's glori Qua strain! Lo! where ?ngirt by children of the sua Stands the waite man, and counts lus vic? tories won. Ja the fierce deserts of a distant zone, 'Mid savage nations, terrible and stern, A lonely atom severed from his own. The traveler wends, d?ath or reno sn to earn; Pareh'i fasting, wearied, verging to de? spair. He kneels, he prays-hopa kindles ia his prayer. O'er the wide werld, blest day, thy influeuc? flies; Rest o'er the sufferer spreads her balmy wings; Xovo" wakes, ioy dawaa, praia? fills tho list'lung skies ; jR?? expanding hearts from hearts ex? citement springs; Heaven for one day withdraws ita anaient ban, Unbars its gates, and dwella once more with man. A Good Story. Students of the United States Naval Academy are not permitted to marry, apropos to which fact ?lie fol? lowing is told : Some time back, before ?the acade? my was removed from' Annapolis, a young man from' one of the ardent Southern States ' ll in love with a maiden of the town. Ho had oppor nity to meet hf frequently, and con trasting the honey and butter of thes? stolen interviews with the hoi-d tack of his barrack life, he determined to pop, .abraee, and become a Benedict. IV young lady, equally ardent, was not loathe, and she charged him thus : "You must not tell papa ; he is a great stickler for law and duty, and knows that you have no right, being a cadet, to' take any other responsi? bility. When you get your commis? sion, which is all you have to depend upon, we will parade the fact, but until then we will meet when we can, and as six months will see you with a commission in your hands, there need be no fear of your detection. . Be? sides, as you must many clandestine? ly, so will I, and we'll keep tho secret in common." At this time a Methodist preacher was temporarily in the town, and the twin dissemblers went before him and joined hands. Nothing remained but to keep fclse secret. The preacher knew nothing of this, however, and cursorily let the mouse out of the trap, so that an old pro? fessor, .who disliked cadet.-;, because they besieged in squads a certain pret? ty daughter he h?d, ascertained but ono of tue names, and he court-mar tialed the cadet immediately. Despite the personal entreaties of the youth, the case was brought np. He acknowledged the fact, pleaded guilty, and fell back 0:1 the inercy of thc court. The old professor "aforesaid sternly objected ; he stood upon law and good polity, and called for the lad's dis? missal. "You will lie taking thc bread out of my wife's mouth." said the cadet. "I don't care," said the professor ; '.let justice be done, though the lad? der be empty." "Do vou know the lady's Dame ? urged the cadet. "I don't, want to know; sh? isu't the criminal ; it is. you. " "My wife, sir, is your daughter !" The old gentleman was overwhelmed Kith grief and shanie. The court, acting upon nh sugges "tion, and partly cwith sly. malice, struck' the cadet's name from the rolls. So the old gentleman had to pay, * for ? time, the expenses of both daughter, and son-in-law. The lad got back in the navy during the rebel- : hon? and rendered ?.good account of himself. ; . FAS inox Ai?LE FEMIXTXE GAMESTERS. In one of my recent letters. I spoke of gambling as one of the vices of our fashionable women, -and I have since learned that it -is practiced in certain modish quarters far more than .1 had supposed., In Fifth Avenue, .and Fourteenth and Twenty-third streets, "there are often parties of ladies frein which tho opposite sex ate sternly excluded, where the fair gamesters -play until daylight for large stakes^ and it not unfrequently hapnens tliat when their purses are depleted, they put up their bracelets, necklaces and watches as wagers. Some of the feminine gamesters lose heavily, and the desperate shifts-no allusion to their wardrobes-to which they are put to conceal their losses and replace them, must be fearfully demoralizing. A young woman, the daughter of one of our most opulent citizens, was pointed out to me last Saturday, in the Park, as a notorious gambler, by one of her own sex, who informed me she had parted with nearly $100, 000 since she went to Saratoga, in July, and made her doting papa behave she had expended the sum rn dress and charity. The young woman in question is very pretty, not more than twenty*;' no one regarding her pale, spirituelle face, her soft, blue eyes, and gentle and reserved manner, would imagine she had fallen a victim to one of the most dangefoue vice One might almost apply to her the famous coup? let that Pope employs for his Be? linda, '.'If to her ?hare some female errors fall, Look on her face and you'll forget them all.' But then, the Duchess de Brin vil? li erea was gentle and retiring in man? ner, and Lucretia Borgia often looked like a sweet saint who had lost her way to Heaven. [Cor. Cincinnati Gazette. The Belmont Iron Mills, at Wheel? ing, have been sold to Moore, Lehr & Co., for $185,000. Some time ago the same establishment sold for $127, 500. NOTICE. IN consequence of the removal of Mr. li. S.

Kew - York Advertisements. .To, the Citizens of South Carolina. * The termination of a sanguinary contest, which for tke.paet fouryears has presen ted an impassable barrier to all social er com? mercial iutercourne between the two great Bcctiojis of ouij7>country, bavin.!/ ai length, happily cleared away all obstacles tu a re? re ojal of thos? relations which formerly 'bound us together in ? fraternal union, I take the earliest opportunity afforded rue by tlris auspicious event, to greet my South srn friends, and to solieit from them a re vewalof that extensive business comi&ction Wiich for a quarter of a century has been uninterrupted, save by the great public calamity to whioh I have adverted. It is scarocly necessary, on the threshold of a business re-union, I should repeat the warning so often gb-en to my friends-to beware of all those spurious and deleteri? ous co.n^^unds which, under the specious, and false titles of Imported "Winos, Bran? dies, Holland Gin, Liquors, ?e., have been equally destructive to the health of ear citizens as prejudicial IS the interest* of the legitimate importer. Many years of my past life have bea* expended in an open and eandid attempt to expose these wholesale frauds; no time nor exr 3nse has been spared to accomplish this salutary purpose, and to place beforo my friends and the public generally, at the lowest possible market price, and in such quantities as might suit their conveniences a truly genuine imper ted artiele. Twenty-ave years' business transae?one with the largest and most respectable ex? porting houses in France and Great Britain have afforded me unsurpaased facilities for supplying our home market with Wines, Liquors and Liquores of the best and most approved brands in Europa, ia addition to my ava distillery in Holland forYhe manu? facture of the "Schiodtm Schnapps." . . Thc latter, so long tested and approved by thc medical faculties of the United States, West Indies and South America as an invaluable Therapeutic, a wholesome, < pleasant and perfectly safe beverage in all climates and during all seasons, quickly exalted thaicupidity of the borne manufac? turers a?d' venders of a spurious article under the same name. I trust that I have, after much toil and expense, surrounded ah my importations with safeguards and directions which, with ordinary circumspection, will insure their delivery, as I receive th? n from Europe, to all my customers. I would, however, recommend, in all oases where it is possible, that orders be sent direct to my Dcpok, 22 Beavor street, New York, or that purchases be made of j my accredited agents. In addition to a lar?e. stock of Wines, Brandies, Ac, in wood, I havo" a consider? able supply of old tried foreign Wines, em? bracing vintages of many past years, bot? tled up before thc commencement of the war, which I can especially rccoramensi to all connoisseurs of these rare luxuries. In conclusion, I would specially ?all tho attention of my Southern customer? to the advantage to be derived by transmitting their orders without loss of time, or ealling personally at the Depot, in order to insure the fulfillment of their favors from the pre? sent brge and well selected assortment.
