RELIGION--WELT IS ITI BY BISHOP REBER. Is it to go to church to-day, To look devout and seem to pray, And ere the morrow's sun goes down, Be dealing slander through the town? Does every sanctimonious face Denote the certain reign of grace? Does not a phiz that scowls at sin Oft veil hypocrisy within. Is it to make our daily walk, And of our own good deeds to talk, Yet often practice secret crime, And thus misspend our precious time? Is it for sect or creed to fight, To call our zeal the rule of right, When what we wish is, at the best, To seo our church excel the rest ? Is it to wear the christian's dress, And love to all mankind profess, And treat with scorn the humble poor, And bar against them every door? Oh, no! religion means not this, Its fruits more sweet and fairer is Its precept this: To others do As you would have them do to you. It grieves to hear an ill report, And scorns with human woes to sport ! Of others' deeds it speaks no ill, But tells of good or keeps it still. And does religion this impart! Then may its influence fill my heart! Oh ! haste that blissful, joyful day, When all the earth may own its sway! MYSELF AND POLLY CARTER. Bright is the tint of the Autumn leaf When first the fell frost nips it; Smart is red pepper and cider mixed, To the mouth which gently sips it: But brighter far than Autumn leaf, Than Cayenne pepper smarter, Is the pride of my heart-my own jrue love My gentle, Polly Carter. I loved her when a little girl, And loved her more when older, And never once shall I forget, When first my love I told her: She blushed, and sighed, and turned her head, (Her eyes were filled with water): I took her hand within my own And whispered-" Polly Carter." She only blushed a deeper red, And sweeter looked than ever; My heart it seemed to run a race With my old "patent lever ;" I told her that I loved her well, And that I ne'er would barter For aught on earth, however prized, The love of Polly Carter. I told her that I had a farm Well tilled was every acre And that I had a snug farm house To which I longed to take her: And told her that unless she'd go, For life I'd be a martyr To Cupid's cause, and break my heart For gentle Polly Carter. She turned, and oh! how sweet she smiled And said she loved me dearly: Then what cared I for aught beside I was quite blessed or nearly ; The " old folks" said we might be wed, And ne'er did I feel smarter, Than when the parson made us one, blyself and Polly Carter. ISSING.-A writer in the N. 0. Picayune says: No luxury that the market afiords seems liable to more sudden changes, and more unaccount1abli rises and depressions, than kissing. Cotton can't begini to be a circum stance to it. Sugar and molasses can't bear any c ompetitiin with it. We are altogether at a loss to account for this state of affairs. Whether it is owing to the climate, to the season, to the men or to the wvomen, we know ntot, and should like to know. A very pretty little girl informed us last night, that in her opinion, it wvas shameful to make men, especially good.looking men like we are, pay so much for a kiss. We concurred, arnd immediately-came dowvn to record the estimated value of one smack in Roches. ter, New York. It will be remembered that last sumer, a very learned adjudication was made in our ci'y upon this subject, and that since that period a legal estimate has been made in Boston. The tariff of kisses is now, in Bc ston, ten dollars; in Roches ter, New York, seven dollars; in New Or learns, five dollars! Thank Heaven! we Jive in New Orleans, and from the depths of our pocket-book pity those bachelors ofI Boston and Rochester. rThe editress of the Ladies Repository, a very sensible and lovable woman we have no doubt, from the following paragraph, also on kissing, says: " Kisses, like fatces of philosophers, vary. Some are as hot as coal fire, some sweet as long drawn soda. Stolen kisses are said to have imore nutmeg and cream than other sorts. As to proposed kisses, they are not liked at all. A stolen kiss is the most agroea ble. We have been kissed a few times, and as wve are not very old, wve hope to receive many more." A RO.MANCE IN REAL IFE.-A wedding took place in Bristol, England, a few weeks since, under somewhat romantic circum stances, realizing the old adage, that " Truth is strange; stranger than fiction." It ap pears that a sister of Mrs. N., who resides at Montpelier, some two or three years since,.married.a merchant, and emigrated to California soon afterward, wyith a viewv of bettering their fortunes, taking with her the likeness of an unmarried sister. The pic ture happened to be hung in a very conspic uous part of their house in California, and attracted the attention of a rich resident of that district, wvho happened to pay a visit to the house. He wvas enraptured with the image of the fair unknown, and exclained " By Jove, I'll marry that girl if she is to be found in the world." He was told where she resided, and lhe posted to her a note inclosing a present of forty pounds sterling, and a few days sine a~knock was heard at theldoor, and on the young lady going to open it, a good looking, bronzed-featured gentleman rushed into the house and gave a chaste salute, exclaiming that he had come from the other end of the wvorld to find her, at the same time pulling out thie likeness which first led him to seek his attraction. Of course they were mar ried, and are to "live long and die happy," ats usual. Oz:7'There is no nobility like that of a great heart, for it never stoops to artifice, nor is wanting in good offices where they ,~ renanhi-That is true nobilitv. THE graduating class at old Yale, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hun dred and odd, had a meeting the day before they were to be made into Bachelors of Arts; and at this meeting it was agreed that each man should adnounce his intentions as to the profession he designed to pursue. Ten years afterwards they would meet again, and compare the results of the record. Jenkins had been the fool of the class. By that good fortune which helps the lame and the lazy, he had made out to squeeze through the examinations-those strainers designed to catch the flats-and he was about to go forth with as broad a diploma as the best of his fellows. The president of the meeting called on the students in alphabetical order, and each man gave ex pression to his hopes and views. A smile rose on every face when he siad, "And, Mr. Jenkins, what do you mean to be?" Jenkins had an inveterate habit of lisp ing, which gave additional drollery to his reply as he answered, "I am goin' to be a 'Pithocal minither." "Ah, indeed; and why so, Mr. Jenkins?" "For three reathons: "In the firth plathe, 'Pithcopal minithers alwath marry rich wives. - " In the thecond plathe, the prayers are all written out. "And, in the third plathe, the thermons are very short, and them you can steal." The theory of Mr. Jenkins was altogeth er false and absurd ; but the story is true, and too good to be lost, as showing how very big a fool Jenkins was, and what stange notions fools will have sometimes. ADoLPH us GETS INSPIRED.--" Dearest, I will build thee a cot all covered with ivy, in some seclded vale, close by a purling brook, meandering over its pebbly bottom, inces santly babbling in dulcet tinkling strains, "love, love love;" where the atmosphere is redolent of soothing spicy aromas, that make the eyes languish, and the heart dissolve in a liquid fire of love; where the balmy morn ing zephyrs sigh in the dense forest's leafy maze, chanting love's melody; where the tiny songsters that whirl in etherial. space, warble naught but love. I will plant thee a garden of gorgeous loveliness, culled from nature's more ardent designs, warmest tints, and sweet smelling incense." "Dolphy, dear, don't forget to leave a patch for cow cumbers and ingins-they're so nice pick led." FisH SToR.-The following story will do for a yarn, but it is quite as large as we can swallow: "1 The following anecdote was told many years ago by a gentleman of Eastport, re specting a cat's fishing that mayhap you have heard. The gentleman alluded to had his shop over a wharf, under which the tide eb. bed and flowed, and in the floor was a trap door used for various purposes, and through which he was accustomed to let down a line, now and then, to catch a fish for pus sy's dinner. One day having to leave the line to attend to a customer, he was surpris ed to see pussy go to it and touch it gently. This led him to watch her, when presently a fish caught hold, and Mistress Grimalkin immediately commenced hauling in the line with one paw, securing the slack hauled by placing the other paw upon it. In this way she at last secured the fish. After that, the gentleman baited the hook and let her fish for herself, and hundreds have seen her catch her dinner.".

ANO-rHER AN-rI-KNow No-ruIsxo LETTER. -We are credibly informed (says theo Sa-I vannah Georgian) that Mr. Toombs has in preparation and will soon publish a letter giving his views on the secret proscriptive order. It is said that they nearly coincide with those of Mr. Stephens. Each moment makes thee dearer; as the the parsimonious tradesman said to his ex travagant wife. 0:.7 AN experienced woman asserts that when men break their hearts, it is all the same as when a lobster breaks onme of his claws-another sprouting immediately, and grow.ing in its pamen DISCOURAGING CHILDIJooD.-It Is some where related that a poor soldier, having had his skull fractured, was told by the doctor that his'brains were visible. " Do write tc father," he replied, " and tell him of it, for he always said I had no brains." Howi many fathers and mothers tell their childrea such; and how often does such a remark contribute not a little to prevent any devel. opment of the brain! A grown-up person tells.a child he is brainless or foolish, or that he is deficient in some mental or moral faculty, and nine cases out of ten the state. ment is believed, or if not fully believed, the thought that it may be partially so, acts like an incubus to repress the confidence and energies of that child. Let any person look back to childhood's days, and lie can doubt. less recall many words and expressions which exerted such a discouraging or encouraging influence over him as to tell upon his whole future course of life. We knew an ambitiou boy, who, at the age of ten years, had be. come so depressed with fault-finding and reproof, not duly mingled with encouraging words, that at an early age he longed foi death to take him out of the world, in which he conceived he had no abilities to rise. Bul while all thus appeared so dark around him, and he had so often been told of his faulti and deficiencies that he seemed to himsell the dullest and worst of boys-and while none of his good qualities or capabilites had been mentioned, and he believed he had none, a single word of praise and apprecia, tion, carelessly dropped in his hearing, chan ged his whole course of thought. We have often heard him say that "that word saved him." The moment he thought he could dc well, he resolved that he would-and he ha! done well. Parents, these are important considerations. Sometimes encourage youi children without an if. Do not always tell them they can be good or can do well if they will do thus or so well, and that there is nothing to hinder them.-American Agri culturist. TREATH1ENT OF CIHLDREN.--That whicl: I have often deemed as an indiscreet and dangerous practice in many fathers is, to be very indulgent to their children whilst they are little, and, as they come to riper yeari to lay great restraint upon them, and live with greater reserve towards them; whicli usually produces an ill understanding be. tween father and son, which cannot but be of had consequence. And I think father. would generally do better, as the sons grow% up, to take them into a nearer familiarity and live with them with as much freedor of friendship as their age and temper will allow. AN elderly lady, whom a young husband had married for her wealth, expressed het regret at being much older than him. " Make no apologies, madam; no objections if you were twice as old." The wag was a gam. bler. low long will women continue tc deceive themselves I TIE King of Belgium is a Protestani though his subjects are mostly Catholics The King of Saxony is a Catholic though the greater part of his subjects are Protes. tants. The King of Greece is a Catholic though most of his subjects are of the Greek church. Of the 14,5000,000 European sub. jects of the Sultan of Turkey, 11,870,000 are of the Greek church, and 260,000 are Catholics, while onry 3,800,000 are Moham. medans.

In aboutninemonthsafter ihy other leg broke out in large eating and running sores froir my knee to my foot. and discharged a great deal of offen sive matter. Mly groin also broke out In large biles, whielL discharged much offens-ve matter, and at the same time my left hand broke out in large runningsores nearly to my elbow. The misery that I have suffered for the last two, years I cannot describe to you. I was In such agony that I nevertrested day or night. In October last my son brought me one of your bottle wrappers; I read It, and found record of some wonderful eures performed by your " Extract of Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla." I sent and got two bottles of it, and cam menced taking it. In two weeks. to my great netonishment, my sores all became easy. and I could sleep all night,-n thing I had not done for two years. When I had taken six bottles, my sores got well as If by exchantznent. I have now used in all eight bottles of your "Extractof Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla." and I contisier myself well. I entreat'all of the amicted to try this medicine, for I be lieve it will cure any known disease In the world. Lay aside all prejudice and just try It, and roclaim its great worth to suflering natinkind and entrest them to take it, for it will cure them. 31y ease is well known to a large portion of South Carolina.
