RESIGNATION.

There is no flock, however watched and tended, ! ,
fBut one dead lamb is there: t
There is no fireside, howsoo'er defended, I
Cut has one vacant chair.
The air is full of farewells to the dying,
And mournings for the dead ;
i The heart of Rachel, for Ik r children crying,
Will not he comforted. j (
Let us be patient; these severe afflictions
Not from the ground arise.
* But oftentimes celestial benedictions
Assume this dark disguise.
W e sec but dimly through the mists and vapors; j
Amid these earthly damps,
I What seem to us but dim funerai tapers
May be heaven's distant lamps.
r There is no death. What seems so is transition;
This life of mortal l?r?-a:li
Is but a suburb of the life elysian.
Whose pertals we call dentin
She is not dead?the child of our affection?
But gone unto that school
Where she no longer needs our poor protection.
And Christ himself doth rule.
In thai great cloister's stillness and seclusion, |
By guardian angels led,
Safe from temptation, safe from sin's pollution,
She lives, whom wc call dead. j
Day after day. we think what she is doing
w In those bright realms ol air:
Year after year, her tender steps pursuing,
Behold her grown more fair.
? I
Thus do we walk is; her, and keep unbroken p
The bond which nature gives,
Thinking that our remembrance though unt pok'n j
May reach her where she lives.
Not as a child shall we again behold her,
ronfurtiC irilil.
1'UI MUCH; i tj |;iutvw
Iii our embraces we ng-nin enfold her,
She will not be a child ;
Cut a fair maiden in licr Faiher's mansion,
k Clothed with celestial grace:
+ And beautiful with all the soui's expansion
' Shall we behold her face.
And though at times impetuous with emotion
And anguish loi g suppressed,
The swelling heart heaves, moaning like the ocean
That cannot he at rest?
We wiil be patient, and assuage the feeling
We cannot wholly stay;
Cy siience sanctifying, not concealing
Tim grietthat mint have way.

Tlic Valley of lite Ait:azon.
nv I.IKt'T. ?r. J\ MAt.'RY.
From a very able article in the November
number of tie Southern Literary Messenger,}
we extract the following line description of
this valley.
Of more than twice the size of the Missis- [
sippi valley, the valley of the Amazon is en- |
tirely intertropical. An everlasting summer
reigns there. t*p to the very base of the Antics,
the river itself is navigable for vessels of
the largest class. The Pennsylvania 71 may
go there,
A natural canal through the Caeiquiari con
hoc?.? it with the Ormmco. Wiving drainage j
find fertility to inunense plains that cover two i
million* square miles, it receives from the North
and Mouth innumerable tributaries, which, it is
said, a (lord an inland navigation, up and down,
of not less than 70 or MO thousand miles in ex- ,
tent. Stretched out in a continuous line, the ;
navigable streams of that great water-shed
would more than encircle the earth <iround at
its largest girth.
All the climates of India are there. Indeed,
we may say, that from the month to the source !
of the Amazon, piled up one above the other,
and spread out, Andean-like over steppe alter '
steppe, in beautiful, unbroken succession, are
all the climates, ami the soils, with the capacities
of production, that are to be found between
the regions of everlasting summer and eternal
snow.
'i'li" valley of the Amazon *is the place of,
production of India rubber, an article of commerce
which has no parallel as to the increase !
of demand for it, save and except in the history
of our own great staple, since the invention of.
the cotton gin. We all recollect when ilie only
uses to which India rubber was applied were
to rub out pencil mat ks, -and make trap ball* j
for boys. Hut it is now made into shoes and ;
hats, caps, cloaks, foot halls and purses, ribbons
and cushions, boats, beds, tents and bags, pon .
toons for pushing armies across rivers, and
camels for lifting ships over shoals. It is also j
applied to a variety of other uses and purposes,
the mere enumeration of which would make us 1
tedious. New application of it are continual- |
lv licimr made. Ibumdless forests of the Sa
V ? - # ,
ringo tree are found upon the hanks of l!iis ;
river; and the exportation of litis gum from j
the mouth of that river, is daily becoming a I
business of more and more value, extent, and i
importance. In lS'lG?7, pontoons for the
Itriti.-h army in India, and tents for the American
army in Mexico, were made in New lingland
from the India rubber of the Amazon.
!t i? the best in the world.
The smjar cane is found here in its most
uxuriaut growth, and of the iidlest saccharine
levelopment it requires to he planted but
once in ~0 ye.-rs.
There are produced, also, of excellent quality.
and in great profusion, entice and tobacco,;
rice and indigo, cocoa ami cotton, with drugs. I
of vii tues the most rare, dyes, of hues the most
brilliant, ."lid spices of aroma the most exquisite.
Soils *.f the iidlest loam and the finest alluvions
are there. The climate of India, of the
Moluccas, and the Spice (.-lauds, are ail there. (
And there, too, lying dormant. ?ro the boundless
agricultural and mineral capacities of the blast
and \\ <;!, drdnstored together, if commerce
w ere bat once to spread its wings over that
valley, the shadow of it would be like the touch
ol a magician's wand? those* immense resources
would spring at once into life and activity.
In tire fine imagery of their language, the j
Indians call the Amazon the " King of 1 livers. "
It empties into the Oet-an under the Line.

To a man who is a little of a philosopher,
and a lutein lor to hoot, and who by dint of
some experiancc in the follies of life, begins to i
look with a learned eye upon the ways of men
and eke of women ? to such a man. I say, there
is something in noticing a pair of young lovers.
I have therefore derived much pleasure,
since my arrival at the hall, from observing the
fair Julia and her lover. She has all the de- ;
lightful, Mushing consciousness of an artless
girl, inexperienced in coquetry, who has made
her first conquest; while the captain regards
her with a mixture of loudness ami exultation ,
with which a youthful lover is apt to conteiii- j
Mate so beauteous a prize. I observed them
ve* tenia v, i" the garden, advancing along one
of the retired walks. The sun was shining
with delicious warmth, making great masses'
of bl ight verdure ami blue shades. The cuckoo
that harbinger of spring, was faintly heard from
a distance ; the thrush piped from the hawthorn
and the yellow butterfly sported and toyed and
fluttered in the air. The fair Julia was lean- i
iug on her lover's arm, listening to bis conversation
with her eyes cast down, a soil blush on
her cheek, and a (pjict smile upon her lips, '
while :n her hand that hung negligently by her
side, was a bunch of flower*;. In this wav
they were sauntering slowly along, when I
considered them, and the scene in whieh tin*v
were moving. I could not but think it a thousand
piiies that the season should ever grow
older, or that blossoms should ever give way to
fruit, or that lovers should ever get married, i
An Irishman who was very near sighted,
about to light a duel, insisted thai lie should

of a lal man who was going to fight a thin one,

.Sra rn Bank of Illinois.?At tho session
of the United States Court, which has just tert**d,
the chancery suit against the trustees of
the late State Bank of Illinois was continued
to the next term of the Court. In their answer
to the hill in chancery, the trustees expressed
the opinion that the assets of the bank
will fall considerably short of paying the debts.
This will make the stock of the bank, of course
r. total loss to the stockholders; and as the
notes and certificates of the bank are hv law
received by the trustees for collections and
sales of property, such of them as remain out
after tl.e assets are exhausted will he a clear
loss (o (lie holders.
A better termination of (ho affairs of the
hank has been expected, but the losses by the
old debts, and on property taken from bankrupt
debtors have been greater than was expected
by those interested.? I'll. Journal.

Col. W. Spencer llrown. Chief Engineer ol
the Greenville and Columbia Railroad, returned
to this place yesterday, from a rapid reconnoisauce
of the contemplated Railroad route from
Anderson C. II., through Rabun Gap, toKnnxville
and Chattanooga, Tcnn. Col. I'rown had
not time, upon his shoit visit, to make a very
minute examination of the entire route, huticturns
satisfied of his entire practicability, at a
ve'v moderate cost, considering that it passes
through a mountainous country. Me expresses
the- confident opinion, that a superior road
may he built at a cost not exceeding 813,000
per mile for fifty miles, through the mountain?,
and 810,000 per mile for die balance of the
line, say 00 or 100 miles, to Knoxville. Col.
Rrnwn thinks that the most practicable direction
for the line, will In' io strike from Anderson
fltin wncf nvt\*-<ltur S?.? w./**t IJivr.r nnnr
Kerry, .".ml thence by the?nost practicable route
to tin? vally of Tngalo River?thence up the
valley of sakl River, to l!ie mouth of l)i\ Crock,
following which stream for a short distance, a
very pretty lovil ridge may be crossed to the
War Woman Creek, a lew miles from Clayton,
and up that Creek to Clayton, thence through
the Kabun Cap, to the head waters of the little
Tennessee and iiiwassee Rivers without dilKfruity
The distance from Anderson to Clayton,
by this raate, is about 00 miles, and Col.
Rnnvn says truly, that it is in every point of
view, the most important enterprise to South
Carolina ami the Southern .States that ever enlisted
public attention. Let Charleston begin
to move?let the State move, and let the people
everywhere 1:0 to work, to insure the early
construction of this great and important thoroughfare.?

- The board of ellicers, appointed some
time ago, to inquire into the condition of the
L. S, Light House system, have recently made
a report, in which tiiev recommend the organization
o| a light house hoard, to be composed
of Scientific civilians, Army and Navy oilicers,
to lie charged. In law, with the entire management
of liic iight house establishment of the
I nitod States. Tiiey recommeiid that appropriations
be asked for renovating, and for lirst
lens apparatus for the lights at Cape ilnt (eras,
North Carolina ; Cape Henry, Virginia ; Cape
llenlopi'ii, Delaware; and all other points.
i lie Moating lights 1103V used are considered
comparatively useless, fur want of sufficient
lamps and reflectors; and the light vessels not
adapted to the service. 1 hey state that it all
our present fights were fitted with lens apparatus
of equal power to the reflectors now in use,
the annual expense for supplies of oil and cleaning
materials would co:-t little more than one
fourth as much as is now expended for these articles
of supply annually; that is. that the supplies
now costing upwards of S1 lit!,000, would
not exceed .'{\()()0 to $>1*2,000, making an annual
saving of 110,000 to ?' 15,000.

On other days fish and flesh are prolibited

Nothing is said by the Archbishop of rum, braniy,

into a hotel on Race street one
ifternoon and, after calling for a glass of Maleira,
turned to the company, and offered to

around and remarked':
" 1 want to make a bet of some kind, I clout
are a fig what it is. I'll bet any man from a
hilling's worth of cigars to 8500, This is
,-onr time, gentlemen ; what do you propose ?''
Sipping a glass of beer in one corner of the
i.ar-room, sat a plain old gentleman, who look>d
as ihonir!) he miirht be a Pennsylvania far
ncr. lie put down his glass and addressed
lie exquisite:
" Well, mister, [ am not in the habit of maiing
bet?, but seeing you are anxious lor it, I
lon't care if I gratify you. So I will bet you a
evv's worth of sixes that I can put a quart of
nolasses into your hat, and run it out a solid
uinp of molasses candy, in two minutes."
"Done!" said the exquisite, taking off his
i.at and handing it to the farmer.
It was a real Florence hat, a splendid arti:le,
that shone like black satin. The old genIonian
took the hat, and requested the baricepor
to send for a quart of molasses.
" The cheap sort, G cents a quart, that's the
<iiul I us0 in the experiment," said he, handing
iver his G coppers to the bar keeper.
The molasses was brought, and the old farO
' %
nor, with a very grave and mysterious countenance,
poured it into the dandy's hat. while
lie exquisite took out his watch to note time.
[Jiving the hat two or three shakes, with a Sigior
Mlitz adroitness, the experimenter placed it .
7n the table, and stared into it, as if watching
:hc wonderful process of solidification.
" Time's up," said the dandy.
The old farmer moved tiie lint. " Well, I
io believe it ain't hardened," said he in a tone
if disappointment. " I missed it, somehow or
it her, 'his time, and I suppose 1 have lost the

" What of the cigars ?" roared the exouisite.

'you've spoiled mv hat, that cost me $5, and
on must pay lor it."
" That wasn't in the bargain," timidly said
ho old gentleman ; " hut I'll let you keep tho
no'asses, which is a little more than we agreed
or."
Having drained the tenacious fluid from his
leaver as best he could into a spittoon, the
nan of moustaches rushed from the place, his
iirv not much abated by the sounds of laugher
which followed his exit.
The question " why printers do not succeed
n business as well as brewers?" was thus answered.
" Heeause printers work for the bead,
mil brewers for the stomach, and where twenty
men has a stomach but one has a head."
