MV EARLY HOMEBY
HIRAM TOKREY.
I sit alone?alone in thought,
And thronging visions come,
In rainbow tints of beauty caught
From childhood's happy home.
0 happy home! best boon below,
To passing pilgrim's given ;
First fountain spring of joy we know !
And fittest type of Heaven.
How truthfully the dear ones rise,
As mem'ry calls them up;
1 scejhc smiles and loving eyes,
Of all that kindred group.
I'm with them now, a hoy again,
My heart is light with joy;
No anxious care nor thought of pain,
Our blissful sports alloy.
Scattered around the blazing fire,
With mirth in every heart;
Our mother dear and loving sire,
In merry plays take part.
Our simple hearts all nature love?
The pretty birds and flowers;
The dancing brook and shady grove,
The sunshine and the showers.
And when at night we go to rest,
Our mother's pray'r we hear;
'Tis thus wc all with love are blest,
Ana nouung miuw uj teur.
We ask no joy we cannot find,
In this abode of love;
All is so dear, so good and kind,
So like the home above,
My dream is o'er?that early home.
Lies mantled in past years;
Cut when my heart feels sad and lone,
When flow unbidden tears.
Then Faith and Hope my soul assure,
That in the spirit-land,
I'll meet again as angels pure,
That cherished household band.
WHO IS TiTE TRUE LADY.
AN INTEUKSTING AND INSTRUCTIVE STORY.
We once knew a "young lady" who lived in
fine style. Her parlors were elegantly furnished,
and her dress was always of the latest
fashion. She had her piano and her teacher,
and she played Italian music charmingly. In
all the exquisite graces of life she was faultless.
She had a rich vein of sentiment, too, and could
talk philosophy, or discuss standard authors, at
pleasure. Ol course she reads novels?in fact,
a larire portion of the day was devoted to that
interesting and instructive class of polite literature.
She was also somewhat industrious, for
she would occasionally work elegant embroidery.
With an abundance of curls, that floated
over her neck in beautiful profusion, a tine
form, hands white and delicate, largo powers
of conversation in the usual drawing room
style, she was followed by young men of taste.
Vet, somehow, she never married. The "beaux"
fluttered around her like Hies over a pot of honey,
but they were careful not to get caught as
those other insects are apt to tlo. Their attentions
were never so particular as to require
"some friend of the family" to demand what
were their intentions. This was no fault of
the young lady. She was within the market
as plainly as though she had inscribed on her
forehead: "A Husband Wanted; lor particulars
inquire within." Hut the husband never,
to our knowledge, came; and we believe that
at this time she is a disconsolate old maid.
What was the trouble? Step with us into
' i i riM , r . ?.t I r.
me Kiicncn. i nai uti woman, wiuia reu muc,
is the servant of the house. She does the cooking,
the washing, the chamber work. From
early dawn until late at night, she is a slave.
Well, that woman is our charming young lady's
mother! She never sees her daughter's "callers."
If by accident she should drop into the
parlor while visitors were present, she would
hasten out again, with embarrassed manner,
looking as though she had committed an offence,
while her own child's face would bo diffused
with bul shes.
Now, take a walk with us. In that workshop,
do you see that hard-working mechanic?
The wrinkles are hardening upon his face, and
the gray hairs are thinly sprinkled over his
head, lie looks anxious, and as though at his
heart-strings tugged some deep sorrow and
PD , 1 . ,
mortification. He is the Jaiher ol our beautiful
"young lady," anil his hard earnings for
- " - . i ^1
many years have been absoroea in me expensive
luxuries that her admirable taste has craved.
He, too, is excluded from the society of
his own daughter.
She moves in a circlo abovo her parents, and,
in short, is ashamed of them. They live in the
kitchen, she is in the parlor. They drudge?
she reaps tiie fruit. Sho has no pulsation of
gratitude for all this; sho despises them, and,
in fashionable gatherings, is amongst the first
to curl her pretty lips at" low mechanics '?
provided she can do it safely.
Is sho a truo lady? No?ten thousind
times No ! We object not to her accomplishments?to
her taste in dress?to hor manners.
Wo look upon and admire such, just as we do
a superb statue of Venus. As a work of art it
is beautiful; but, nevertheless, it is insensate
marble, having 110 soul, being of no use in practical
life, and food tor nothing but to look at.
Tho beauty of the mind is the true beauty ;
and the affectionate daughter, who nestles herself
lovingly into the hearts of her parents?
who makes her mother companion and confi
(lante?who not only works with that mother,
but takes the heaviest burden upon herself?is
the true lady. She may never have struck a
note on the piano, yet her house is melodious
with harmony such as angels sing. Her exterior
may be humble; but her interior life is
clothed in the vestments of immortal beauty.
There are many "young ladies" whose whole
character is on the surface. Dress, manners,
accomplishments, all external. They are "outsiders."
When the scorching fires of adversity
burn beneath its surface, there is no protecting
wall upspread within. The whole becomes
- 1 it mnv p.nnfjiiii flip
(JUL it lJUtiui naiixzoy uivu^u ??.
. outward semblance of humanity.
The true lady cultivates the higher nature.
She is religious, but not fanatical?courteous,
but not fawning. Reposing serenely upon the
arm of her Heavenly Father, and associating
with unseen angelic spirits, she meets the storm
with calmness, and accepts it as a disciplinary
mercy. Her sympathy ever pulsates to the cry
of suffering, and her hand is ever open to relieve.
She is beautiful at home, beautiful at the
bedside of the sick, beautiful at the hour of her
departure into the world of spirits, beautiful
through life, and transcendcntly and externally
beautiful in Heaven.
This is the true lady.
GLOVES AND CIGARS.
'I must really have a pair of gloves, James,'
said .Mrs. Morris to her husband, as they sat together
after tea.
Mr. Morris had been reading tho morning
paper, but he laid it down and looked crossly
UP'Roallv.'
he said, 'vou seem to ine to waste |
more money on gloves than any woman I ever
knew. It was only last week that I gave you
money to buy a new pair."
The wife colored and was about to answer
tartly, for sho felt that her husband had no
cause for his crossness, but remembering thai
a 'soft answer turncth away wrath/ she said.*
'Surely you have forgotten, James. It was
more than a month since I bought my last pair
of gloves; I have been out a great deal, as you
know in that time.'
'Humph!' and having pronounced these
words, Mr. Morris took up the paper again.
For several minutes there was a silence. The
wife continued her sewing, and the husband
read sulkily on; at last as if sensible that he
had been unnecessarily harsh, he ventured to
remark by way of indifferent apology.
'Business is very dull, Jane/ ho said, 'and
sometimes I do not know where to look for
money. I am hardly making my expenses.'
The wife looked up with tears in her eyes.
'I am sure, James/ she said,"that I try to bo
as economical as possible. I went without a
new silk dress this winter, because the one I
got last spring would answer, I thought; by
Lovimrn nnw hodv made to it. Mv old boil
..... ...D " ? ^ - ?
net, too, was retriinmcd. And as to gloves,
you know you aro very particular about my
having gloves always nice, anil scolil me if I
appear in the street with a shabby pair on.'
Mr. Morris knew all this to be true, and felt
still more ashamed of his conduct, however
like most men, he was too proud to confess his
own error, except indirectly.
lie took out his pocket book, and said :
'Mow much will satisfy you for a year, not
for gloves only, but lor all the other little ?>t
ceteras ? I will make you an allowance, :?rd
then you need not ask me for a dollar whenever
you want a pair of gloves, or a handkerchief.'
The wife's eyes danced with delight. She
thought for a moment and then said:
'1 will undertake, 011 filty dollars, to find myselfin
all these things.'
Mr. Morris dropped the newspaper as if it
had been red hot, and stared at his wife.
' I believe,' lie said,' you women think we
men are made of money. I don't spond fifty
dollars in handkerchiefs and gloves in a half a
dozen years.'
Mrs. Morris made no reply lor a lull minute,
for she was determined to keep her temper.?
But the quickness with which her needle moved
showed that she had some difficulty to bo amiable.
At last, she said : 'But how much do
you spend for your cigars ?'
This was a home thrust, for Mr. Morris was
an inveterate smoker, and consumed twice as
much on that needless luxury as the sum his
wile asked. He picked up the paper, and made
no reply.
'I don't wish you to give up smoking, since
you like it so much,' she said. 'But surely, a
cigar is no more necessary to a gentleman than
are gloves and handkerchiefs to a lady, and if
you expend a hundred dollars in one, I don't
see why you should complain of my wishing fiftv
dollars for another.'
v
'I'shaw!' said the husband, finally; I don't
spend a hundred dollars in cigars. It can't be.'
'You bring home a quarter box every three
weeks; and each box, you say, costs about six
dollars, which, at the end of the year, makes a
total of one hundred and four dollars.'
Mr. Morris fidgeted on his seat. Ilis wife
was aware of her advantage, and, smiling to
herself, pursued it.
'If you had counted up, as I have, every dob
lar you have given me for gloves, handkerchiefs,
shoes, and ribbons, during a year, you would
find it amounted to full fifty dollars ; and if you j
hud kept a statement of what your cigars cost
you, you would see that I am correct in my
estimates as to them.'
'A hundred dollars! it can't he,' said the
husband, determined not to be convinced.
'Let us make a bargain,'replied the wife.
'Put into my hands a hundred dollars to buy
cigars for you, and fifty to purchase gloves
and et ceteras for me. 1 promise faithfully to
administer both accounts, with this stipulation,
that at the end of a year, I am to retain all that
I c.in save out of the fifty, and to return to you
all that remains out of the hundred.'
'It is agreed ; I will pay quarterly, beginning
with to-night.' And he took out his purse, and
counted thirty-seven dollars and a hall into his
wife's hand.
And how did the bargain turn out? Oar
fair reader have no doubt guessed already.?
Jane continued, during the year, to supply her
husband with cigars, and at the end of the year
rendered her account, by which it appeared
that Mr. Morris had smoked away one hundrtd
and ten dollars, while his wife spent only forty
on gloves, handkerchiefs, and shoes, the ten
dollars she had saved having just enabled her
to keep her husband's cigar-box full without
calling on him for the deficiency till the year
was up.
Mr. Morris paid the ten dollars with a long
face, but without a word of comment He has
ever since given, of his own accord, the fifty
dollars allowance to his wife.
Husbands, who think their wives waste money
on gloves, etc., should be careful to waste
none on cigars.
HISTORY.
We prepared an article last week in relation
to some misreprcsentions of some remarks of
Col. McWillie at the Southern Rights barbecue
at this place. We have however concluded
not to publish it, as some time has elapsed
since, every one who wished to understand
correctly what he meant, did so, and it was
not at best a matter of very great moment.
We will however say a few words upon a
ciiWonl !. in< 1 rv>rl tr? tliis ivhinh wa undorstAnd
some of the union orators have made allusions
to in their speeches as well as writings. It is
in relation to the fact that South Carolina received
the aid of northern troops in the war of a hi
the revolution. It is utterly untrue. The blood '
of no northern men mingled with sottihnswM^*'^'*
Eutaw, or Camden, or CowpeTTa^ftBtOTy other
of the battle-fields of Carolina. Where is the
proof that they did? From what State did
they come? Southern historians sometimes
speak loosely of troops from the north and a
northern army, but when the matter comes to
be examined, it will bo found they only meant
north -of South Carolina. The troops they
speak of all came from North Carolina. Virginia,
Maryland, and Delaware. Let those
who wish to degrade South Carolina, not let
their rancor overrun their caution. They had
better look at the record before they speak or
write.
It is true, the Commander-in cbeif did detail
to Southern service, two or three general officers
of northern birth, but this is easily accounted
for by the fact that the north had contrived
to monopolize the far larger portion of the
general officors, and when one had to be sent
sout h, the chances were that he would be a
northern man.-But they sent us no troops. The
South not only sent the north a commander
in-chief but South Carolina and all the South
sent troops there.
Snnlh Carolina sent to the field 37 out of
every 42 citizens, while Massachusetts, which
sent more than any other New England State,
sent only 32. It is notorious that only in one
place did the northern exceed the southern
soldiers, and that was on the pay and pension
lists.
Col. McWillie alluded to the lact that tli6
people of New England refused to take part in
the war, and sent a lew troops to Mexico. By
these facts his remarks arc borne out, and the
mere fact that Washington sent one or two
officers South, who of course obeyed orders is
no evidehce to the country.
Can/on [Miss.,) f\[adisonian.
Tlic postage Lair.?The construction given
the new postage law by the Assistant Postmaster
General meets with the almost unanimous
opposition of the press. Under this decision,
the postage on a single copy of some of
the lage-sized journals, when sent to California,
will be fifteen cents! Certainly Congress never
contemplated imposing such an enormous
tax. A cotemporary asks this question.
"How is it in relation to regular subscribers,
who merely wish the direction of their paper
changed ? Are they to btf charged transient
rates, aiu'- their papers withheld in the office
here till prepayment is made? Many of them
have already paid a quarter's postage in advance
at the places they reside. Must they
exhibit the receipt for this payment? How, in
deed, is the postmaster to know who are bona
fi.de subscribers for less than three months ?
Every way we turn it, the case is involved in
difficulty?and all from attempting to mako a
distinction between one kind of subscribers
and another, when no such distinction exists,
as all subscribers, whether for one month or
twelve month, are bonafulc subscribers.
[Baltimore Clipper.
To Mothers and Daughters.?Motors makea
great mistake, when, in th"i^.u*eourse with
their daughters, they treat love ani^ marriage
as prohibited subjects. It is quite certain girls
do think of both, and if they speak their thoughts
to an affectionate mother, who does no slight
the-feelings by cold, worldly teachings, or jealous
regret at the thought of another becoming
dearer than herself, there is much less fear
of mistakes and misery than when vouner hearts
make imprudent confidences, or feed 011 themselves
in silence and solitude.

Reading.?Tko amusement of reading. i3
among the greatest consolations of life; it is
tno nurse 01 virtue; tiio upholder in adversity;
the prop of independence; the support of a
just pride ; the strengthener of elevated opinions:
it is a shield against tyranny of all petty
passions; it is therepeller of the fool's scoff, ami
the knave's poison.
