The earth is fall of sunshine, When the heart is full of glee, For the light within our spirit Shines on everything we see;, Then it finds the smallest trifle For its happiness suffice, And pleasure in the simplest thing, As in the things of price. - There is a sunshine in the flowers,. In the shadowy forest trees The'e is sunshine in the rippling brook That whispers with the breeze; It looks on us from every Ince, ~ The homely and the fair', And the happier the spirit feels, The more it seeks to share. A lovely thing is sunshine, , And gladdens where it falls ; But more beautiful the sunny heart _ That all things blessing calls That is always seeing something For which to render praise ; A spirit full of thankfulnege Ia all its works and ways. That can pass along earth's pilgrim, And not think all untrue, To whom earth's hopes seem but a shade (Alas ; they are but few) - And the bitter leaves for others, Ektraeting but the sweet, For such hearts make their happiness From everything they meet. And they who thus unruffled 1 - Can glide down the stream of life, With a spirit that elastic springs From all its care and strife ; Have a .well of joy within them That not lightly will depart, For they bear about their Paradise A mild and joyous heart. . And are not such more-happy, And more likely to be right, Than they who would persuade us, earth IIath nought for us but night? For I-say-and its a doctrine That the many will receive There is hope for every one op earth, If they only will believe! YOU HAD 3mmTR'GO AWAY "HIR. Nor for my love implore; For I your sweetheart will not be, So trouble me no more ! What is the use of talking thus? 1 will not go with you, Upon my life, you trouble me, Ay, that indeed you do. You had better go away, John, You really bore me quite; Don't tell me I am "beautiful," That I'm your "soul's delight;" Provoking 'tie, I do declare, That me you torment yet; I feel that such a swain as you No maiden ever met. You had better go away, John ; Alt? what is that you say That you will take me at my word, And walk with Fannie Gray? You cannot be in earnest, John, To leave me thus alone; Why don't you know I love but you You are my dearest John ? Oh I go not then away, dear John, bly error I confess; 3My heart is yours, and fond,!I trust, You'll never love it less; A trip, John, you've long promised ne, If I with you would go; If Fannie Gray you will forget, Love's answer you shall know. - 11IJRI0U1 SERMON. The Brrandon (Miss.)

WE extract the loowing plain and sensible remarks upontieimirtance of wearing flannels noxt.the skin,-from the work of Physiology, re .cently published by M. LA BoRDE, M..D.,.Pro fessor in:outh Carolina College: There is a'very important matte- connected with dress, which 1 eannot pass over in silence; I mean theiwearing-.flannel next the skin. In the-iiinds'of iiany persons there is a considera bIo psjogice'ag nst eanring it, thgugi of late years thereis 4a souhder public opinion than fbrimerly. I; wil.now state very briefly the af-. vantiges of fuln ad give some striking ex amples idcoidirmatldi In the first place, it.is a bad coi4nctotiorfcn6rle, and tends, therefore, togevent theeuedpef animal heat. Secondly, it aids largeljiafrotecting the'body against the influences of -andde4hangos in the .weather. By preventirg the rapid escape of the animal eat, and by the;gei..e;friution of the skin and the slight irritation pf the general surface, its tendency is to~ke an equable temperature. The gentle frletion udain maintaining the circu lation in the cntaneoifivessels, and at the same time. impaits a healtlilh stimulus to the nerves. That.it contribates nolittle toithese ends may se readily perceived: by observing the change of emperature:ands oteeffect produced on a part mbjected to fiction 1 the hand or in any other ray. I kngQiwtha irritation ~procured by lannel is so greaten elpersons that they can not wear it-next theskin When it is worn oosely as it; should 'ys be. done, this friction nust take place-to nsiderablo extent in eve y movement of the. dy. ' haye to add, as mother advaintge,- tit-ere is no. other mate iial which absorbS so well the exhalations from he skin. This fact pry naturally suggests a requentchange. of libnel or its thorough ven ilation atunight.; the Iormer, however, is to be ireforre&: . Much difference o'opnioei exists as to the ime.wiien flannel at -d be put. on and taken ff rand here I think get error is" often corn itted. With very y-t is a period of severe nd dangerous trial; la notea few it should be torn throughtall;th r, and this .& the class f persons who stan ost in need of it. It is mistake to supposo the wearer of flannel i the hot months' i'i*suflers more from eat than others.. I e-:heard many persons eclare from .perso :experience that it is not , and my own e ce ia to the same effect. enerally,a lighter le should be substituted uring.the summer n. Most persons con eive it unnecessary ear. i.t throughout the ear. andiow:the 'on. comes up when iould the change parel be made. Boor nave, in alluding to dungers ind difficulties v whichitheaubjec rrounded. was in the ' " ut off our - and put narks that " .sik....w, .hanges and cissitudes, and particularly the former. olney was so struck- .by the fact, that he says the United States there is no spring. To rsons of feeble constitutions, the transition or winter to summer, and again from summer winter, especialg when fluctuating, and arked by no steady and regular progress, is tremely trying, and the greatest caution, there re should be observed at these periods. I iow many persons of the highest intelligence ho posipone putting on their flannel to the agest possible period, believing that it is just smuch gained, and accordingly the winter is r advanced before it is done. Instead of mis iief being prevented by a timely resort to it, re most serious consequences are often pro iced by this unwise postponement. It is painst the first impressions of cold upon the sin that we are specially to guard ; w hen the inter has fairly set in, and the skin has become bituated to it,there Is less danger. If I had to c a period in our la'itude for putting on flan , I would say in September, and for taking it i about the middle of M-ty. Of course -these riods are liable to be effected by circumstances. I proceed nrow to give more particulary the roofs of experience as exhibited in the recorded stimony of eminent 1nen, who have enjoyed ic best opportunities for forming correct opin ns on the subject. SThere is such a host of itnesses from the ranks of physicians and thers, that it would seem almost invidious to ake a selection. I will, however, inention two three, assuring the reader that tho utility of earing flannel next the skin, is now almost uni ~rsally conceded by those who know most about es matter, and that1 it i insisted upon in the riish army and navy. That the health of the idier is protected by it, alike in warm as well u n cold climates~is abundantly proved by Sir mes McGregor,'Ca-ptain Murray, Sir John ringle, Sir George Balingale, Rush ana others. 'he testimony of Captain Murray, as given by ombe, is very striking. Upon his return from two years'.service among the icebergs of the mst of Lmabraddr,.h wras ordered to sail imme itely feir the W~est Indies. Having had great perience of the advantages of flannel, he or ared the purser to draw two .extra, shii-ts and rawera for each man,. and instituted a. regular dily inspection to see (hat they were worn.

No less than J 1,000 persons have, it is said, been carried off in the month of August. The population of the city, which is on an average 100,000, is now reduced to 60,000 by death and flight.' The Grand Duke, it mnust be said to his credit, has set a noble example. Although his family has left, he remains himself, and, clad in the - black veil of the Fraternity of Mercy, he sometimes assists in the burial of the dead. It is positive. ly affirmed in this letter that ten persons were lately buried alive. The horrible fact was brought to light in this way: An.Italian warehouse keeper in Palnzzuolo, a -fauborg of Florence, was buried for dead in the Trespiano cemetery, with .many othet supposed corpses, in- a'common grave.. He awoke to a state of consciousness, and so thin was the cov ering of the sandy earth above him, that he made his way out to-the surface. Still weak, he lived for three days on roots in the forest which sur rounds the rave yard. At last" he recovered strength sufieient to reach his house, where he startled his family, who were 'in mourning for him. ..He assured them that he distinctly felt the bodies of numerous people interred )vith him moving about. The grave was consequent ly opened, and it was'found that many, ten in number, as I have said, had stirred, and several of them had bitten their fingers in agony, and otherwise injured themselves. They were all dead when the investigation was made. The utmost excitement prevailed on the subject among, the population. DEATH-OF ANoHER PALaIIETTO SOLDIER.-We regret to cbroniclo the death of Capt. Alex. Stuart, of this district, who died at or near Blackstock Depot, on Wednesday last, of- that insidious disease. consumption. Captain.Stuart was universally respected by all who' knew him. A gentleman of kind and amiable deportment, a true patriot, from the Emerald Isle, a brave and undaunted soldier, he served through the Mexi can campaign- as Orderly Sergeant of company . passing through the various engagements that tried the chivalry of Carolina's sons, and braving every danger, he sustained the reputa tion of his adoptei district, in being wounded with many others whilst battling nobly to the war cry of the gallant Clark-" Stand the fire at all hnzards, remember where you're from." His death is a loss to the citizen and to the sol dier, and whenever a monument shall be erected (if ever) by the State, the memory of departed worth, the name of Alex. Stuart will be entitled 'to a place in. the picture."-Winnsboro Regis ter. - , JewIsh DAY OF ATONEENT.--We notice in some of the New-York papers, extended accounts )f this high annual festival celebrated in that ion of New-York is variously estimated at from 10,000 to 20,000. If there are sixteen well sus ained places of public worship in that city, here can hardly be less than as many thousands f raelites. They are-variously divided -into rthodox, and reformed or rationalistic, the latter eing the gaining party. These do not hold to he doctrine of a literal restoration to Judea; nd thc most of them are now abandoning the loctrine of a literal future Messiah. Taking nto account their general doctrinal views, with heir liturgical system, and their general policy, he Jews of this country seem to be settling Iowa into a system of religious denomination lism, with the usual amount of party spirit and ;ocal interest which belongs to every organized )arty-without much active faith, or. expansive nergy. Like the modern. Quakers, the Ameri an Jews seem to be gradually losing their ori ;inal peculiarities; and this we imagine will Henceforth mark them in every country, till they de aw.y and disappear from among tho nations f the earth.-Southern Baptist. -AsYLUat FOR THE BLID.-During our recent visit to Fairfield, we were thrown in company with Mr. Elbert Feaster, a most interesting und ,olished gentleman. Mr. Feaster had the mis ~ortune to lose his eight in infancy ; but not withstanding this bereavement, he has secured a :horough amid finished education. IHe pursued mis stuaies at Boston, and also attended the Lee ures at Caribridge at University for three years. Upon returning-to his home in Pairfield, ho mar ned an amiable lady and turned his attention to rarmingtnd school teaching. We spent many iours. in .agreeable conversation -'with him, and round him~well informed uponi most .subjects. ie informed us that he had bought a farm near edar Springs, in Spartanburg District, and de ;igned openin r an Asylum 'for the-Blind in con ~ection witli.Mr. Walker's school for the Deaf. ad Dumb. - 14o. enable him to carry out-'this roject,.Mr. Feaster will apply to the ~gislation his winter for an appropriatiOn of $20,000. He. will carry his plans and-recommendations before he Committee on' Education ; and we sincerely npe that committee will recommend anm ade nuate appropriation. We call the attention of r legislators to this fact, in order that they nay dollect all the information-with regard to his unfortunate'class of, our pop)ulationl necessa ry; to an intelligent'consideration of the applica tion for their relief. 'By turning to the 34Tat' page of the census of 1850, itwill be perceived, that we-have in South Carolina, 298 blind per-, ions. Scattered as~ these are all 'over the.State, without education and without a trade, they~, :onstitute ai helpleiss and unprofitable portion of our population. Mer Feaster proposes to per orm a most acceptable' service to the State, by eolleetiethem together and so -educatipg them is'to enialle them to support themselves.' Sure ly the Legislature will aid him' in this:laudable ndertaking. The number-of 'blind persons ik greater by 49 than the number of mind zn; and we edntend that the Legislature, having made a iberal appropriation for the latter is. bound squally to do so for the former.

Referring to the daily duties whici devolved upon the members of the press, hi gives this order of proceedings to be followe( by the editor: First-Gets up in the morning at 10 o'clock dresses himself puts on his hat,'in whichte si or seven bullet holes, and goes to a restaurant for breakfast. After breakfast starts to the office to look over the papers and discovers that he is called a coward in one of them, apd a liar in another, and a puppy in another; he smiles at the pleasent prospect of having something to do; fills out-and despatches three blank ebal. lenges, a ream or two of which he always keeps on hand to save time; commences writing n leader, when as the clock strikes 11, a large man with a cowhide in one hand a pistol in the other, and a bowie-knife in his belt, walks in and asks if his name is - ; ho answers by knocking the intruder down two pair of stairs' with 'a chair. At 12 oclock find that his challenges havd -been:accepted, and suddenly remembers that he has a little affair -to settle at the beach that day at 3 o'clock; goes out, kills his man, and then comes in and dines on stewed grizzly; starts for the office gets mixed in a street row, and has "the heel; of his boot shot off by accident; laughs to think how beautifully it was done,.arrivesjtt his sanctum and finds an "infernal machine" upon the table; knows what it is and. .merely pitches it out of the window; writes a.n article on "moral reform," and then starts for the thea tre; .ie attacked. on the corner of a dark, alley by three men; kills two of them and takes the other to the station house. Returning to the office at eleven o'clock, kills a dog with a paving stone; gets -run over with a cab, and has the tail of his coat slitted by a thrust from a knife; and ttwo' bullet Boles put through his bearer as he steps within his own door; smiles at his escape ; writes until two o'clock and then turns in, with the happy consciousness of having two duels to fight the next day. WHERE Dots oUR SPECIE Goo-When the rich mines of California were -first discovered, and we began to receive the first fruits of the miners, it was supposed money must be plenty;. in fact, that we should be overrun with coin. Faots, however, show that these new golden fields are by-no means adequate to keep our currency in a healthy condition.. The character of our foreign trade tn such as to keejp our cir culating medium. pretty thoroughly drained. The report.of the Register of..the United States Treasury Department, for the quarter ending June 30, 1855, shows that the balance of trade is against us, and although the full amoaInj of our exports exceeds our import., yet this is more than'made up by-an excess of specie ep6rted. The r'! i --..unt of on rport9 du'rg tht' in the same time is 19,931,bb2. It will be strange if an amount like this, deducted quar terly from our circulating medium, does not seri ously affect our money market, and in theend materially impoverish us as a nation. The pro ducts of our native gold cannot fill up this de mand. What must be done! The remedy Is plain. There must be a change in 'our inter course with Europe. Home manufactures must be encouraged, and by that means throw the balance of trade in our favor. Until this is done money will be scarce. . I A MINsTER StsPESDED.-The Indiana pres bytery of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church has suspended from the niinistry one of its cler gymen, for unchristian conduct. The following are the specifications: "First Specification.-For associating- himself with 'an association known as the underground railroad, whose avowed business is to assist slaves from slave to free territory. "Second 8pecification.-For actually engag ing in the business of assisting slaves in making their escape from slave to free territory, which is contrary to 'the laws of the United States and statute laws of the State of Indiana." Several of the witnesses stated that the oifend ing minister had boasted to them of the number of slaves he had aided to escape, givng the names and places in Kentucky from which they had escaped ; and one of them testified that he had heard him say that he had never demied be loning to the underjround railroad, and that'ho hzd said in April, thnE year, in speaking of the relativo numbers taken4o Liberia by' coloniza tion,' and to.
