THOUGHTS ON COKESBURY. - A Beloved Daughter of tlic Town I'nys n Heartfelt Tribute to the ]>enr Old Town. How dear to my heart ore the scenes of my childhood, When foud recollection presents them to view? Tho orchard, the meadow, the deep tangled wildwood, And every loved spot which my Infancy knew. Who has not heard of Cokcsbnry, with Its peaceful shades, crystal streams, and "lis roses the brightest that earth ever gave!" those lovely haunts of bye-gone days; my childhood's happy home, lllily Slope, the Immortal bard Price poetically styled It. There are a few still living, who will, perhaps remember the name. What feelings of sadness comoover us when the ml lid reverts to the hallowed associations of former times. Cokesbury, that dear name around which cluster the most touching memories, and tenderest affections. It was once a famous place, noted for it* institutions of learning, so largely patronized by people from all parts of the State, possessing peculiar nriviLiitiMrea in resard to health ; with the best ministers, the best teachers and the best doctors; as we fully believed the United States afforded. In the innocence of our hearts, we fondly imagined that Cokesbury was the lever that moved the world." Pence and harmony pervaded the entire community. The people, some the very "salt of the earth," were, so to speak, of one mind and heart?the Joy of one was the Joy of all; their doors were thrown open, wide as their hearts, to receive the 6trangers who chanced to visit the place, and no one ever came without feeling an earnest desire to como again. 0 those days of simplicity when an exhibition of Major Williams's "magic lantern," once a year was as great an event for Cokesbury as a Presidential campaign is for the State. But those times have sped away and only their shadow is left. When one by one, like fadlngstars atmorn, sweet hopes have died and loved ones passed away; should we not, by the retrospection of those halcyon days be encouraged in our efforts to gain the Heaven that Is waiting to restoro "the childhood of our souls again." It was piophecied some years ago, that in process of time Cokes bury would become a "deserted village," and It seems that the prophecy has been partly fulfilled. ' And now far removed from my loved situation" in a distant State, the same heart that lovedCokesbury in it* gushing, (lowing, youthful affections, still clings closcly to the "dear ruin," and will ever "entwine itself verdantly still." Our early days! how often back Wu look on life's bewildering track, To where o'er rill and valley plays The sunlight of our early days. THE VILLAGE IN THE PLNES. Active Work on the ti., ('. A X. Komi ?75 Hands and 30 MiiIcn at Work Xcnr CoronacH. Hiding from the market Poad leading Irom Coronaca to Ninety-six, along the line of the O., C. & N. raiiroiid and in a Northeast direction, we llnd on Mr. Geo. Probst's land and about iniilway between said market road and Saluda river, a snug Utile town of some one hundred inhabitants in ambu.?ende. This little town lias sprung up within tlie last fifteen days, and comprises til * headquarters of Mr. Ilailyburton, railroad contractor, and the cabins necessary for the comfort of his laboring force. All Is new and snug, and while an air of desertion pervades the eabius and their immediate surroundings, wo soon account lor it from the/act that the laliorers arc plying pick and shovel and the muleteers arc hurry* ing up the teams in prosecution of the grading ol the (>., C. it N. Mr. Hnllybuiton has some ~~i laborers actively engaged on the work, and 2'> to 30 mules. lie had only eommeneed work three days before our visit, and we were surprised at thcamount of grading accomplished. He is a veteran in the business, and mcuiis bus Incss.

AH! would I lie angry word Upon my lips had perished, Unuitered mid unheard! Some heart, would now be lighter To wend Its toilsome way; Some life would he more cheerful, Mo(c sunshiny to-day. I might have been more kindlyHow trifling Is the cost Of simple deeds of goodness, Whose power Is never lost! The golden moment vanished. And never to return; The glory of bestowing, Too lale, too late I learn ! I might have been more loving To thoso who hold me dear; What little deeds, neglected, Had soothed their pathway here! The hasty word or action That pained n gentle heart. Ah ! will its mournful memory From out our life depiut?

The Southron's Farewell to Liberty. BY A CONFEDERATE SOLDIER. (Written in lfiftj, at the close of the War.) j Adieu, sweet Liberty, adieu ! >';J At thy once-honored shrine we bow? Pained there, through tears of grief, to view Thy cypress on thy laureled brow I O Liberty, sweet Liberty, Bright vision, like some dream of day? Angel of Liberty, to thee We come to sing our final lay t As from our Dixie's crimsoned shore Thy wines are plumed far hence to dwell,] Pausn ere thy flight,and list once more? List;, 'tis the Southron's last farewell! Driven from a lnnd wherecoldly gleams Aurora's wlercl and Jtfnl light? uninea ny ine xvorin omrn icy omnia, And Polar breath, of deadly blight: Constrained *n exile's lotto try, With all behind tbee left as dross? Thlneeye turned towards our radlantsky. Where nightly shines the ,lSouthern Crow." Poised In mid-air, like some bright ray That llneers In the summer's gloam? We hrw thee, ami we bade thee stay And make this sunny cllmo thy home. Bat, no! thou saldst,"BeforeI set .? My foot unon thy Southern sod A price I ask?cancel that debt, And I will break thy foe-man's rod!" A thrill shot through us; and there passed Before iir. from the years long gone, Forms of heroic mould, and last That of our own- great Washington. They bade ns pay the price?one hour Of Liberty was worth It all? They bade us brave the tyrant's power. To drink of Freedom's cup. or rail. "Name, name the sum?thy price," we cried, "Be its dread measure what It mayTolls, trials, death, thy answer 'bide? We troth our all the sum to pay." Then springing like an angel down, Thy foot was planted on our sands, ' 38 And on thy brow was placed a crown? Achaplet wreathed by Southern hands. Waving aloft thy magic wand, Thy quivering lips our Dixie claimed; - ^ And as thine eye surveyed the land So bright, so fair, the sum. was named: "Brine forth your braves, a living host, As numerous ns the flowers that bloom, And let them of my Banner boast, Or glory In a soldier's tomb. * "Stand not aghast though mid-night's pall Bo lighted by your burning domes: Stand not nehaflt't hough crumbling fall The flamo-wrapt structures of your homes.
