No sable pall, no waving plume, No Thousand torch-lights to illume No parting glance. no heavy teat, Is seen to fall upon the bier. - There is not one of kindred clay, To watch the coffin on its way; No mortal form, no human breast, Cares where the pauper's dust may rest. But one deep mourner follows there. Whose grief outlives the funeral prayer; He does yot sigh, he does not weep, But will not leave the sodless heap. 'Tis he who was the poor man's mate; And made him more content with fate; The mongrel dog that shat'd his trust, Is all that stands beside his dust.

Hier fatje er was an amiable and an. intelligent gen-. tileman, and possessed that ias in those days considered an indelenletndent eitale. In 1776, the settlement made on Long Cane, Ahbeville District, was nearly bro ken up by a massacre of the Judians. and" many of the best citizens were ninrdered at the Long-Cane Bridge, near Calhoun's Settlement. .Ezegiel Calhoun, with his young and interesting famnily. escaped to the Waxh'aws oMa Broad River.-It was there that General Pickens became ac. quaintel with Miss Calhoun. lie after wards went to Calhoun's Settlement and married her, in 1763. She was.casidered very beautiful and attractive; and trudition says. it was the 'largest wedding' ever known in that section of country. As was the custom in those days of simplicity and cordial hospitality, all were invited far ani near, to join in the festivities, which, it is said, lasted three days without intermis sion. The beauty of the bride was the theme of all tongues. She had exter.sive connections of the highest respectability, and the hospitality of her parental home was piroverbial. The bridegroom was in the full flush'of oyoust manhood, and was not of the kind hat '-said never :t word," and "stood Jangling his bonnet and plume," but was 'So faithful in love, and so (dauntless in war" hat no Dridemaidens whispered-'Twere better by fir, r'o have wedded our fair cousin- with young Loclinvar.

Bright rose her morning star, and not a eliud hungz artitund it. Alt ! how little did her yontnti hen rt know of the trials and dl:'igers that lay before her in the future ! During thie perilous scenes of the Revo humion, her devotiou and fidelity cheered and sustained her galant husband amidst all their ditTiculties, and made his home ever bright and dear, even through the blood and carnage of terrible days. The frontier settletn'uts of South Caro lina han not only to encounter the British in their invasions from the seacoast, but the savages from the mountains, and the 'I'Toris in the neighborhood of their home, steads.-It was with them literally, "'war to the knife, and fron the knife to the hilt." Neither night nor day were they safe. Their houses were plundered and burnt by t'io Tories, and their children often niassacrced by the Indians. Mrs, Pickens was on many occasions compelled to aban d~on her husband's residence, near wshere Abbeville Court House now stands, and in secret herself and children for datys; whtile, at these t lmes, she and her infant family wvas suopported and sustained by their faiithiful anid devoted negroes,* She intloredl all with fitrtitude that never failed. Tirue, to her coutntry, she never forgot she was a soldier's wife. If lie mnet with the dangers in ihe field. her perils were not -less in her situations, and her trials was in he borne without the stimu Ious of amitiion, or the expcctatiun of fame's retwaicd. Before the breaking out of the Revolti tion General Pickens~ had built a Bl'ick house a t his residence, as a place of refuge to t ho sett(leiment in case of tdatnger fromr the India ins.

At a Roman banquet, a dispute arose between the distinguished revelers as to who had the best wife; and it was agreed that it should be decided by visiting that night each ont's wife, to observe her occu. pation.

HEALTH OF CITIES. As a general rule, when the body is ex amined after death. whether of in child or adult, one or mure organs are found in a state of disease; a fact which induced a physician to state that he looked upon every adult he met in the streets of London as a walking museum or morbid anatomy. Out of 49,089 people who died in London in the year 1846, 22,275 were carried off before they reached their fifteenth year; and only 2.241 died of old age, which Boerhave stated to be the only disease natural to nian. In addition to this it must be known that out of the number of deaths thus mentioned, 14,368 were from diseases of the organs of respiration, and the great source of these diseases was the respiration of impure air. One grand means to prevent such diseases is to have well ventilated houses, and to keep the air in mo;ion, for in warm weather the air always contains a large quantity of animal and vegetable matter in the fortn of the ova of infusoria and the seeds of the lower vegetable organisms. The act of breath ing, to, is a great cause of rendering the air impure. The air in the lungs is ex posed to 170,000,000 of cells, having a surface equal to thirty times that of the body; so that during respiration the air is deprived of oxygen, and becomes loaded with deadly carbonic acid gas, and is ren dered totally unfit for a second respiration, being. in reality, no longer atmospheric air, but a poisonots gas. A second cause of the deterioration of the air, is the com hustion of lamps, gas lights, candles, &e. A single candle is nearly as injurious to the air as a human being; two fourteen hole argand burners consume as much air as eleven men. A third source of atmos pheric impurity.is the vapor, loaded with animal matter, given off from the lungs ant the skin; each of these parts pour out an ounce of fluid every hour; so that, in a church containing five hundred people, twelve gallons of noxious fluid are given off in two hours. A fourth source of bad air in towns is the large quantity of de. composing animal matter left to give of its effluvia; and the difliculty there is in the renewal of the air in towns by ;ieans of the wittds, on account of the vicious mode of their construction and their lat e size. Certain diseases are traceable to the fertile origin of numerous diseases, the cornmmono "cold." In England and Wales 120,000 people die annually of consump. tion, and the greater amount of. cases, is atnong indoor laborers; and in the city of New York about 3,300 die of consumption per annutm, most of these being confined within doors. One grand means of promoting health would be the construction of better ventila ted houses, No living, sleeping, or work ing room, should contain less than 144 superficial feet, nor he less than eight feet high, and it should have one window at least opening at the top, also an spec fire place to the chimney. Every building in which gas is used, should have plans to carry ofi the pro ducts of combustion, and not allow them to escape in the rootn, and also to supply fresh air. Diseases that arise from want of ventila tion. are a scourge to society. 'rhose who are merciful to animals; should not forget thnt they need plenty of fresh air likewise. This, we are sorry to say, is but li'tle thought of by the majority, horses ate housed most miserably in our cities, and this is one great cause of a disease called the heaves, (the horse consumption,) The high rents for both dwelling houses among the poor, and flor stables of our carmen, are no doubt the reasons of putting op with sma!l apartments. What the remedy for this evil is, we are not atle to divine, and a areat growing evil it is.--Scientific Anmericanm. From the Charlestion Courier. The following article we copy from the Matrion Star,- as an act ofjustice to the writer, if his statements- arecorrect, and to give an rtlprtuuity, to our Charleston factors to contradict or explain, if unjustly assniled.

"A second lot, put up in the samre cafe= ful manner. weighed very carefully, and immediately seat to Charleston, there, re weighed and sustained a loss of thirty t"d, pounds per bale. In some particular in= stances the hales were known to lose froti sixty to seventyj.pounds per bale, and so on through the differeut lots referred to by thd writer. "It may be said that the balances used id weighing these bales were not correct. Iid reply, I answer, that I have compared them with different balances and found thenm equal in weight. "Well, now, Mr. Editor, is there no redress for the injured in this matter? Are we to be bluffed off by our factors whed they tell us we have sworn weighers td attend to those duties, regulated by the city authorities;' and this state of thingi suff'red to pass off without further notice?. I say, sir, the people are wronged out of their just earnings, either by their factord ur the city weighers.

I hope to see the matter discussed through the medi um of the press, and some course suggest ed to protect our safety.
