POETRY.
A Grand Poem
The following poooi la said to bit* bssn
delivered by Kin Liszie Dotsn, a spiritual
trance speaker, whilst under the influence
of the spirit of Edgar A. Poo:
From the throne of life eternal,
From the home of love supernal.
Where the angsla make tnuelo o'er the
starry floor.
Mortals, I bnve oome lo meet you,
And with words of peaoe to greet you,*^^
And to tell you of the glory that Is miae
forevermore.
Onoe before, I found a mortal
Wailing at the heavenly portalWailing
out to oatoh some echo from
that ever?opening door ;
Then f seised this quickened being,
And through nil his inward seeing,
Caused my burning Inspiration In a fiery
flood to poor.
Now I c>me more meekly hamio,
And the week lip* of e women,
Touched with fire Irons off the (Iter, not
with burning, es of yore,
But in holy love deoending,
With Iter chsstened being blending,
I will fill yonr eoul with mueio from the
bright celestial shore.
As one heert yeerne for another,
As a child turns to it* mother,
From the golden getee of glory, turn I to
the earth once more ;
Where I drained the eup of sadness,
Where my eoul wss slung to mndnese,
And life's bitter, burning billows swept
my burdened being o'er.
Here the harpies and the ravens,
Human vampires, sordid cravens,
Pi eyed upon my soul and subttaooe, till
I writhed in anger sore;
Life and I then eeemed mismsted,
For I fell aeeursed and fated,
Like a restless, wrathful spirit, wander* |
ing the Stygian short.
Tortured by a nameless yearning.
Like a fire-frost., freezing, burning.
Did the purple, pul?iog life tide through
its freble channels pour ;
Till the golden bowl, life's token,
Into shining shards was broken,
And my chained and chafing spirit let
from out its prison door.
But, whilst living, stirring, dying,
Never did my spirit cease crying:
" Ye who guide the Istes and furies, give,
oh ! give roe, I implore?
From the myraid host of natioos,
From the countless constellations,
One pure spirit that can love me?one
that T, too, can adore."
Through this fervent aspiralioo
Found my fainting eo< 1 salvation;
Far from out its blackened fire quick did
my spirit aoar.
And my beautiful ideal,
Not too saioty to ba real,
Buret more brightly oo my visit n than
the fancy formed Lenore.
Mid the (urging eea ahn found me,
With the hillowa breaking round me.
And my eaddened, sinking spirit in her
arms of love upbore;
Like a lone one, weak and weary,
Wandering in the mid-night dreary,
On her sinless, saintly bosom, brought me
to the heavenly shoreLike
tbe breath of blossoms blending,
Like the prayers of saints aaoending,
Like the rainbow's sevenrhued glory,
blend on souls forevermore ;
Earthly lust and loro enslaved me,
But divinest love hath saved me,
And I know now, first and ooly, how to
live and how to adore.
l?, my mortal friends and brothers 1
We are each end all another's,
And the only soul which gives most freely
from lis treasures bath the more.
Would you lose life, you must find It,
And ia giving love you bind it,
Like an amulet of safety to your he?t
forevermore.

FOR THE LADIES.
GRACE BROWN."
?-:o:?Grace
Brown was tbe pet of the
village?pretty, lively, *and, like
all pots, very self-willed; but the
effects of this latter quality were
softened down and rendered quite
lovable by her open, geaerous disposition,
which would not allow
hor to injure another, even to
gratify that ruling passion. Some
said that Grace thought herself
sufficiently handsome, and termed
it vanity. True, perhaps, when
each Sabbath morning found her
ready decked tor the suuny walk
to the parish church oti the hiltside,
or the week-day's evening
saw her in her little chamber window
plying her needle?yes, perhaps
then, as she caught a sidelong
glance at herself in the little
mirror, she might think it no such
great wonder that the young men
gased as they passed her, or that
they looked so curiously at the
bow-pct6 and flowering geraniums
perched on the sill of iter casement?perhaps,
too, she might
think they cast a glance beyond.
But was this vanity ? No; Grace
was as free from that hateful quality
as the bird which carolled so
joyously in his bright cage on the
cottage wall. Vanity cannot be
justly attributed to those only conscions
of possessing the qualities
which are theirs in reality, but to
those alone who boost to themselves
of perfections which they
can never hope to possess. Such
was the case with those who termed
Grace vain.
One fine autumn evening she
sat, as usual, beside her gerani
urns, over which was hung her
little bird Pet; but the leaves of
the former hung droopingly, as
though to ask of their sweet mistress
the usual drop of spring water,
and poor Pet chirruped and
hopped from perch to perch, and
t unica ins yellow to&tliers to at
tract her attention, but in vain.?
No cooling drop greeted the sickly
leaf ?no tiny finger placed a
bit of sugar between I'et's cage
wires. And how was this? Was
Grace ill ? No ; but her thoughts
were wandering, and although
her eyes were fixed full on poor
Pet and his companion plants, she
neither saw one nor the other.?
And whither were her thoughts
wandering ? Only into a neighboring
lane, up which she strolled
whon the snn was beginning to
dip liis bright head "ncath the
blue tops of the neighboring hill.
It was a very pleasant lane, but
as its sides wero bounded by high
hawthorn and wild rose-bushes, it
may bo supposed Graco did' not
go there for the sake of any beautiful
prospect, lor her whole
height was not more than the top
of the hanks on which the bushes
grow. For what, then, conld it
be? In truth it was that there
generally accompanied her thither
a very pleasant companion?not
her mother?not one of tho neighbor's
daughters. No; buc a
young man, the son of a farmer
not far distant.
Yes, the trnth may as well bo
told. Giaco had given, or
ll 1-4 ? I- - * * *
uiuugnt bug naa given, lier little
heart to tho companion of her
strolls; and, indeed, any one to
look on Idm, might imagine a
better choice could not be made.
Tall, handsome and athletic ho
was, and his eye beamed when ho
looked on her. But the}* who
knew him better than Grace, said
that he was wild and fickle ?
Neither did they scruple to warn
her of that knowledgo. But
Grace would not believe. How
could 6he, when she saw that, although
they spoke against him,
they wcro always ready to welcome
him to their own homes ?
Besides there was an eloquence
far more powerful to tho heart and
understanding of Grace?more
eloquent; more easily believed
than aught they could utter. Yes,
the eye and tongue of William
Clively were the monitors most
eagerly sought, and most willingly
listened to when found. IIow
could she think he was deceiving
her? I hero was no 5"
his deep gaze on her?no harsh*
nees in his voico. But there
was on* who did not like him, to
whom Grace had ever jet been
accustomed to pay the most pro
fonnd submission, because that humility
had never boen forced, but
even won from tier by love. That
being was her mother.
She bad now been sitting in
this deep reverie somo ten minutes,
from which she was roused by
a light hand being laid on her
shoulder. The blood mounted to
her temples and cheek, for she
knew, without raising her eyes,
that it was her luothor, and she
felt conscious that her mother's
oyo was reading her innermost
heart. She also knew she had
uotight to four, tor though at this
moment Iter little lienrt lmd been \
rebelling, her parent's chiding was t
ever one of geutlenoss. i
44 Grace, love," spoke the moth- 1
er, gently placing her hand on the i
half downcast head,44 why do yon t
not go forth this evening ? See, 1
the sun has almost lost bis last bit I
of crimson in the deep grey.? i
Come, love, you have been sewing
all day. Just throw your scart c
around you and walk in our gar
den." (
441 would rather not, mamma," i
answered Grace in a low tone, 1
turning her head still more from t
her parent; and then, for the first f
time, casting hor eyes on the i
drooping plants and now sulky ]
little Pet. Bnt she quickly ad- 1
dcd. 441 will water my trees and <
chirrup to Pet a little, lor he 1
seems quite to have the mopes." 1
44 And how comes it that he has 1

mamma.
u Ah ! I see, mamma," retorted
the now balf-tearfulr half smiling
maiden ; " I see you have been
reading my heart, and that it is
useless to keep anything from you.
Cut though you have seen part
that was passing there, you cannot
tell all I"
u But I can guess, Grace ; and
that, perchance, will do as well.?
I doubt not you thought me very
cruel?very inconsiderate in not
allowing you to have quite your
own way ; and I doubt not that
you thought I knew very little
about it; but sit down, love, and
I will tell you a little passage in
my own life, and after that I shall
leave you to judge for yourself,
only first assuring you that I have
every proof that William Clively
is very wild, and his father quite
unable to support him in his ores
ent extravagance. See here, love,
X have brought my knitting; so
take up your work from the window
sill, and thus, while we are
quite industrious, I will proceed
to tell you that my sketch commences
when I was about a twelvemonth
older than you ore now.?
At that time Grace, I was circumstanced
too, somewhat as you are.
You understand me. love?" flrnee I
blushed and smiled. " I had a re- <
belllous heart, too ; and there was 1
cne lor whom it had set up as the (
idol of its idolatry, and one whom,
unfortunately, neither of my parents
approved.
But yet, Grace, I own that I
thought my knowledge of his
habits far exceeded theirs ; and all
T knew of him was fair and open.
Things continued thus for eighteen
months, at the end of which time
my eyes were fearfully opened to
his vices?he committed a forgery
and abscondod; though it is probable,
had he stayed, no injury
would have awaited him, for his
friends, who wero wealthy and
powerful, made up the sum for
which he had risked so much, and
paid it. Grace, it was some time,
even then, before I could perfectly
win my heart from its idolatry;
but it had seen its error, and iny
mind was mado up to overcome
suoli perversity, and I did. Yes,
Grace, I knew what it was to feel
cherished affections warring
against my own convictions of
right. You will perhaps say that
he had deserted me, and it might
bo that pride rose superior to neglect
and alight; but not so. lie
did not desert me?he did not
slight mo; tor though all others
: * i?? ? -i?- ? .*
v?crc igiivrum. ui ins uesnnaiion, 1
I knew whither he had fled, and
from thence received a letter full
of affection and repentance for
pa9t follies. But, Grace, had I
forgiven, or rather overlooked his
vice (for I did forgive,} I never
conld have placed confidence in
him again. So I wrote hiin once,
but that once was to discard him
for ever. From that time I busied
myself in work, in tending to my
garden, in assisting my neighbors,
and, indeed, in various ways of
which I had not thought before.?
I saw that people appoved my
conduct, too; every eye greeted
me, every tonguo welcomed mo in
joyous tones; and in time my
own heart grew joyous, and felt
a lightness it had never known
till then, even in its wildest moments
of affections for tlio now
unworthy. But I did not know
the fulness of the happiness I was ]
to reap from that one era of my t
life till five years had clapeed.? <
During that period, love, your t
dear father had wooed me, and i
knowing from all that ho wna be- i
loved and respected, ho won me, c
although not a fifteenth part so j
handsome or so engaging in his j
manner as ho of whom I have i
been speaking. But ho soon I
taught me to love him?I do not t
tnean with the girlish wildness I <
had lovod before?but with an |
affection which might last through i
sorrow, sickness, death ! as it has i
dono, dear Grace." i
Tho tears started to tho sweet i
eyes of Uracc, and fell thickly I
upon the little border on which
?ho was bo busily plying her
leedle, as the thought of her fond
father passed across her heart,
ind smote it for its rebellion
igainst her will to whose care he
lad so solemnly entrusted her on
lis death-bed. The mother was
%lso silent for a fewmoments.
44 Well, love," sho at length remined,
44 you were but a few
months old when, one day I was
litting with yon in r small arbor
n the garden of the dwelling
where we then resided. On a
mdden I heard the latch of the
garden gate raised, and a poor
nan toiled up the sunny walk.?
Ele appeared in the last stage of
wretohedness, and sickness seem?d
to add its hoavy load of misery
where already there appeared to
t>e an accumulation of ills. I rose
with an intention of inquiring in
:o his condition, and relieving hitn
is far as my means wonld permit;
ind, taking you in my arms, 1
itood before him. But, Grace, I
inppoee that time had not so
changed me as it had done him,
or no instantly ejaculated my
naiden name! Yes, love, you
nay well drop your work and
aiso yonr eyes. It was indeed he
vhom I had loved, and persisted
n loving, In opposition to my pa
ents' judgement. At that monent
your father appeared at the
loor, and when I looked on you
ind him, contrasted with the
vretched mass of filth that shrunk
lefore me, my heart leaped with
gratitude to God for teaching me
o subdue my own evil passions.?

And so Grace did; and the
iext morning, when she entered
;he breakfast-room, she threw her
irms around her mother's neck
ind whiskered that she had gain

ry if her mind might not over
some the erring indications of her

Hope.?True hope is based on
mergy of character. A strong
nina always hopes, and has cause
ilways to hope, because it knows
he mutability of human affairs,
ind how slight a change often may
change the whole course of events.
Such a spirit, too, rests upon itself;
ind if at last all should be lost, it
lias saved itself, its own integrity
md worth. Hope awakens courige,
while despondency is the last
>i all evils; it is the abandonment
>f good?the giving up of the bat
le of 11 to to dead nothingness.?
lie who can implant courage in
he human breast is the best physician.
To seek to govern men by
heir tears and their wants, is an
inworthy purpose; the desire to
ule by means of cowardgjs of itself
jowardico. Love inspires courage
md hope, and this is doubly the
$iver and preserver of lite. Whattoevor
teaches us boldly to combat
the manifold evils and assaults
jf life, enableo us to win the crown
>t victory. Special care, therefore,
ought to be taken in educating
to teach what true education
is, as well in social and domostic
is in public affairs?and by what
moans it tnay be bc6t consummated.
I J 1-^JLgPThe
Liberal Eleotoral Ticket for
8outh Carolina?An Address to
tne People of the StateTo
the People of South Carolina :
On the 5th of November the
people of Sonth Carolina, in common
with the people of all the
United States, will be called npon
to elect a President and Vice-President
to serve for tho ensuing four
years.
The course that has been pursued
by the present Administration
has been so subversive of all
IaooI ^ ? ? ? *
,w?i oun-guvuriiinenc, and hostile
to tho rights and liberties of the
citizen, as to have excited the
greatest apprehensions for the safety
of our free institutions, and has
aronsed the intelligent and Conservative
masses of the nation to a
nnited and determined effort to
secure, if possible, the Government
from the hands of its present andacions
and nncrnpnlons rulers,
and bring it back to its constitutional
bearings.
Moro than this?so alarmed and
widespread has been the growth
of corruption in high places as to
have tainted all the fountaius of
pnblic jnotice, and so reckless the
use of corrupt instrumentalities by
public officials as to undermine
every principle of honor and honesty
in the breasts of the people,
and prepare the way for the rapid
and almost sure decay of all public
virtue.
To arrest the spread of these
evil and dangerous tendencies, and
to 6ave to the people the substance
as well as form of a constitutional
republic, the citizens of all classes
and parties have organized a holy,
firm, indestructible alliance in behall
of purity in government and
sympathy and reconciliation between
sections.
The cardinal principles of this
movement were promulgated from
Cincinnati on the first of last May,
aud solemnly ratified by the Democracy
of the whole Union iik
general convention at Baltimore
ou the 9th of July.
Horace Greeley, of New York,
and B. Gratz Brown, of Missouri,
chosen as the standard bearers of
this cause, have been hailed with
patriotic enthusiasm by the friends
ot law, order and well rep-nlatprl
o liberty
throughout the entire land.
'Ihe principles which have been
emblazoned upon our banner in
the hopetul words of our illustrious
candidate cannot die, but must
and will survive even defeat, if
defeat were possible.
South Carolina, recognizing this
as the only movement in the present
crisis, culculated to overthrow
a monstrous centralization, and to
secure to the present generation
the blessings of a juet and freo
government, has, through a convention
of her people, recorded
her adhesion and pledged her support
to the movement.
While we are not permitted to
speak the language of assured victory
to our people in this State, it
is, nevertheless, onr solemn duty
to adjure them by their enlightened
love of country and their devotion
to its institutions, to 6uui?
mon to their aid that highest fortitude
in man, of fidelity to principles
even in the midst of cisaater,
and, rallying around onr colors,
give to our candidates a manly,
a generous and united support.
Animated by the foregoing sentiments,
and profoundly sensible
of the responsibility devolved upon
tliein, and to insure the action
I
which is recommended, tlie State
Central Executive Committee of
the Democratic and Liberal Republican
parties, after a joint conference,
have determined, under
the auspices of the undersigned
representing this State in the National
Executivo Committees of
tho two parties, to present to the
people of South Carolina and invoke
their suffrages for the following
ticket of electors:
State at large?M. P. O'Connor,
of Charleston : W. II. Wallace, of
Union ; S. A. Pearce, of Richland.
First District?W. W. Walker,
of Georgetown.

TI1060 days aro lost in which wo
did 110 good ; those worse than lost
in which wo do evil.
To seek the redress of grievance
by going to law, is like sheep
running for shelter to a bramble
bush.
He has the largest life who lives
in the lives ot the largest number
of people.
The man who works out his
present opportunities to tho fullest
extent is tho most successful man.
