There is a pleasure in the pain That brings us back the past again. We linger w hil" we turn away, We clirg while we depart: And memories, unmarked till then, Come crowding round the heart.

Never make a friend -of a coward ; his heart ? a dung-hill, while suspicion is the only cock that ever crows on it. He who searches for words to clothe his thoughts, does not know exactly what he wishes to express. Whatever may he the customs and laws of a country, women always give the tone to morals. Love matches are often formed by jieople, j who pay for a month of honey with a life of vinegar. How absurd to be afraid of death, when we are in the habit of rehearsing it every night.

John Elmore, who served in the war of the Devolution, under Gen. Greene. He rectiv.-d Lis education in his native State, and was graduated at the South Carolina College in the year 1810. In 1821 lie was admitted lo the bar, and the year after lie was elected bv the Legislature Solicitor, or State's Attorney, for the judicial circuit which included Columbia,, the seat ot government. The duties of tl.xi oh ice ho continued to discharge with ability and distinction for fourteen years, having been successively re-elected at periods of four years. From tliis oflicc, he was in December, 1 S3C?, transferred to the House of Representatives of the United States, to fill (lie vacancy occasioned by th.? resignation of tho IIoiu Jame3 If. Hammond, subsequently a distinguished Governor of South Carolina. He was again chosen Representative at the next regular election. The whole period of his service in this b- uly was three years. He was here known and marked as the man of thought, and coun? sel, and action. He but seldom minted in debate, thougli he was gifted witli parliamentary power.-, lie was, however,destined to pass tu a different sphere. In lS.'tf) the Presidency of the CankT"of the State of Soutli Carolina became vacant, This Bank, owning a large capital, and being a fiscal agent of the State, holds a responsible position relative to neighboring monetary institutions. '1 ^e weight of this responsibility had been" increased by the general crash and derangement of 1837-'8. Circumstauees made it preclibarly necessary to place at its head a man of deep and comprehensive mind, capable of discipline and systcm-of complex combinations and full of circumspection and forecast Col. Elmore was the individual lixed upon. For upwards of ten years he continued atthehoad of the^institution, unceasing in assiduity and indefatigable in labor. It war. mainly during this period that lie achieved his reputatioo'as a financier and commercialism And if results were not altogether as fovorable as could have Iiivm desired, the explanation, doubtless, will bf found in the reflection that there are conditions which impose a limit upon possible success i-i ail affairs, and no degree ofhumnn talent or effort is capable of transcending this limit. It is confidently believed that the laborious career jnst referred to undermined his constitution, disabling it to withstand the assaults of an accidental malady, lie is believed to have died of erysipelas. It would hardly seem appropriate to detail tin- circa instances, so recently commemorated, under which he appeared amongst us as a Sen? a tor from his native State. 1 cannot, however, refrain from remarking, how striking and im, pres-ive is the thought, that, having been called so unexpectedly to take the po.-t of of his great predecessor, lie should also have been called so >p. t-dily to follow bis footsteps to the grave; as if drawn by some strong afiinitv for the one who had gone before hint; ;:s though lie 1)3(1 Ikvii beckoned still onward to a happier state by the liiemlly spirit of a just nun made perfect, I believe tiiat .Mr. Elmore's voice was heard hut once in the Senate, and that was in answer iug to his name when called by the Secretary, The intellectual endowments of .Mr. Elmore, his mental culture and nctpiirements, his elevated character, the purity of iiis morals, his un? a?'c? | !i?iiuli!o good breeding, and tlie perfecr tinu of his social qualities, all conspired to hind i:i-5 fellow-man to him ; some by one law of human sympathy, soma by annolJier. :,Hi iniiV,Hji:?iiit!y engaged in the honorable eoiiipetitinns of life, lie was' of course, sometime the object, of those irritations of feeling v.": !*-;i nvauios are api to ('l'ocmier.
