EDGEFIELD, S. 'T- P T E AMER3.1 EABLY LOST, EARLY SAVED. t Within her downy cradle there lay a little child, f And a group of hovering angels unseen upon her I smiled ; II A strife arose among them-a loving holy strife- S Which should shed the richest blessing over the t newborn life. One breathed upon her features, and the babe in beauty grew, With a cheek like morning's blushes, and an eye of azure hue; Till every one who saw her, were thankful for the sight, Of a face so sweet and radiant with ever fresh delight. Another gave her accents, and a voice as musical As a spring-bird's joyous earol, or a rippling stream let's fall; Till all who h..ard her lauahing, or her words of chil-lish crace, Loved as much to listen to her as to look upon her face. i Another brought from heaven a clear and gentle v mind, s And within the lovely casket the precious gem en- i shrin. d ; Till all who anew Ier wondered that God should s be so good C As to bless with such a spirit our desert world and I rude. Y Thus did she grow in beauty, in melody, and truth The budding of her childhood just opening into youth ; And to our hearts yet dearer every moment than before tt She became, though we fondly thought heart could j, not love her more. it Then out-spike another angel, nobler, brighter than s the rest, As with strung arm, but tender, he caught her to his breast; "Ye have made her all too lovely for a chid of miortal race, But no shade of human sorrow shall darken o'er i her face. "Ye have tuned to gladness only the accents of ;1 her tongue, th And no wail of buman anguish shall from her lips sI be wrung; Ur Nor shall the soul that shineth so purely from w;tbin Ili Her form of earth-boan fraity, ever know the taint fe Where there is no sin nor anguish, nor sorrow, nor decay ; And mine a boon more glorious than all your gifts shall be Lo! I crown her happy spirit with immortal:ty ' Then on his heart our darling yielded up her gentl. breath, For the stroncer, brighter angel, who loved h- r best. was DZArzH! lie THE LOST FOUND AND RESTORED. A SKETCH FROM LIFE. gl " You have just returned, friend Manson, im have you not," said Livingston, "from your o Western Journey I" di "Yes," he replied, "I have, and there g< was a circumtstanuce attending it which will m make it the most memorable event in my c< whole life." o1 " Indeed, what is that, my friend ?" th "Ah, it would take more time than either af you or I could now spare," said Manson, o " for me to relate, and you to listen to the in particulars; but I will attempt a very brief si sketch of the substance: pi When I went to school in Connecticut, I had a very dear friend and schoolmate, m named John NeL-d. He was one of the in brightest and most beloved pupils in the al school. He grewv up, paid his addresses to pi a beautiful anid excellent young lady, a mem- bi ber of the church. At length be was mar. p< ried to his M'tary: and they prepared imme- re diately alter that event, in pursurance of a m' previous plan, to emigrate to a Western m State. The exening before the day we were to to separate, perhaps forever, [ had a tender t( interview 'ith by bosom friend atnd his love- I ly wvife ; it was deeply aflieetiing to us all. te Thu next morning they departed, with n: the aafIeetionzate faewells of' nany old friends i and neighhors in the ton~ n where they wver, ni born and reared, with a hanidsome provisiona I made by the parents of both, who were in ma competent cironmnstancest. Tfen years elap. ec sedJ, (luring wvhicil I was in the ilcthodim 1 ministry ini distant places, as may lot hiappen. 'Y ed to be cast. Not at word concerninig theim Iil reached my ears in all that time. Th'le cour- e le of duty called me then to the vicinity of the t< place whlere my frieed had settled, :ind i s resolved to go out of my way considerabl) es to give John anid Mary a enll. Arriving at il the to'wn, aiid iniquiring fort their residene, at I was told they lived somte distanice from the centre village. A t length I founid the plane. ir A t the first glance my nminud misgave meii n Trhe sight of the miserabule enbina umnd me hi sick ; anad after hitchinag may horse 1 sCarcely dared to ent. r.

We b, are ruined : Johnm is lost, and I and the' chil-.t dren atre stiarvinag herie. We have not hiad aa morsel to enat since yesterday morning." p -Great hentvenas!" said I, " and where is :L John 1" fe -He i.4 at :he store ; he has not been here ti for several days." ft .. us s e. ... , I. replie. . "Better not, sir, he is a savage now, an< will illtreat you." " I must and will see John," I replied, and tarted immediately for the store, according o her dit ection. There was no time to lose or I was to be at conference, whiiher I waa ound, at a certain time appointed. I readi. y foond the store and entered. The first ight disclosed four men playing- cards at a able. The next glance discovered a mar tretclied out along a whisky hogshead. The zndlord was sitting by, but instantly hopped p and ran behitid the counter to wail upon me, supposing I was a customer. Says I is Jolhtn McL-d here." They all looked at me on hearing the nestion, as if I had been the old one or a ;herifr. "What is that to you," he sullenly replied I want to see him," I answered. While was speaking I took another sweep of the nom with my eye, and saw something like man at-leep in the corner. " Is that John,' asked. " None of your businoss," answered the urly bar-keeper. If it is that unhappy man, you will find some of my business," I replied. 8o I rent to him, recognized.him, though in this ntoeking, heastly plight, and began to wake im. This was no easy job, and while I was bout it, the rumseller and hisguests remon rated, telling me to go away, threateniig hastisement and showing violence. I had an y hand a loaded whip, am riot inferior. Ou know, in point of wiry, muscular pow. r; and though a man of peace, I confess tat in the twenty-sexen years I have been i the ministry, I never felt so strong a dis. nsition as at that moment, to give four or ve men a thrashing. They were intimida. d, and I succeeded at length in getting hn upon his legs, and trotting him off Dmeward. My presence and the exercise ,bered him, so that when he reached his vel he was in his right mind. I forgot to mention that when I first went to the house, the child upon the ground arted up affrighted, running to her mother, -Ving, " Is he going to carry us to jail, other, where lather was?" And that poor other sobbed upon my hand, as if her heart ould break. Well, I conversed with them i hour, talked of old times in Connecticut, e old village, and school days. He was ftened; his heart was touched. Then I -ged the pledge; his wife put in her pro. undly earnest, almost frantic plea. She It this, indeed, to be the hour of destiny. " Do you think I can keep it ?" said, at igth, the miserable man, once so pronising, " It is," said I, with confidence and hope; you can keep it. I know you can. In the Lme of humanity and religion, try it, ( eat in and God will help you." At last he mnsented. We knelt down on the earth re wa, no chair, no table in the house-I ok out the pledge, which . always carry my pocket, placed it on the stool where nry had been sitting, and han-ded him my neil. He wrote his name) thank God! otwithstatiding his condition, it was beant. ully written, as I afterwards observed, for was an excellent scholar. We did noit e till I had relieved my overburdened heart prayer, aid I prayed with all my strug ing soul, and his despairing wife joined e in the solemn invocation,that the. Father ' mercies would receive the returning pro gal to his arms, and that he might never >astray again. It wvas now quite time for e to go and resume my journey ; but I >uld not leave the tow~n before I called up the class leader, left him some money for e family, and enjoined, upon him to loon ter them, and throw around John the seed all good influeneoes, to prevent his suflfer g a relapse. Whatever further charges he old incur on their account, I promised to aas soon as informed of them. Another decade rolled by, during which >tidings camne to me at the East from this teresting couple. At length I was called ;in to visit those Western regions, and to as near the residence of this unfortuntate other. On reaching the town, my disap intment was extreme to learn that he had moved to a die ant country. I anticipated isfortune ; but as the laice designated wvas t far from my intenided route, I resolved Sgo and see him. When I entered the ,wn of-, where John was said to live, made enquiry for his dwelling, and wvas Id it was the second house on the left md side of the road. Bleinig now so nenr, hatened onw' ard easgerly, and presently a ce framte building punited wvhite appeared. could not help putting up a prayer, that y dear friend mnigh be soi happy as to oe. tapy anty house half as respectable as this. xpetation now became painfully i ntenise. hat in mercy was I setit to seei A scene ke that or worse, whieh ten years before t such awful traces on the memory, never be obliterated ? I could not tell. At a dden turn in the road, I thought I discerti another white house ini the distance among e trees; yes, it is so, with green blinds; rd as I went nearer, graveled wialks wet e en, a handsome paling, and ornamental es and shrubbery. Suir ly there is some uistke in the directiot, ; this camn't be John's nie! yet it is the seconid on the left. Fastetting my heast to a book, I went to e door and knocked. A girl, just on the 'rge of womanhoi.od, op~ened it. -Dices Mr. M.L-d live here 1" 1 ked with tremlintg. "lHe d.,es, sir ?"

Trhere ser i handsome. chairs an~d tither fmn 'iture; tt I saw no more. for~ Mrs. ML-d by tis time w'..s informed of a genimletmn's rrival and lost not time in miaking her apl. earance. "Goond God !" was all I remem. er to have heard from her, as she rushed eward onl seeing mue, and clasped me by e neck. She almost fainited anid shed a .od of tears, and my own condition wats ot nmnch nore- -comnused. Rtuv.,it,.. a little, she informed me that her huasband was at home, but out upon the farm. Too im. patient to wait. I hurried away to see him. He met me as he was coming home. As soon as he knew who it was, he ran forward and grasped mtre in his arms, saying as he strained me to his bosom -'Thank God! thank God! you are my savior under heaven. This is all your work," looking around. 0 0, 1 am rejoiced to see you are here to see it." When we had returned to the house, the ten year's history of struggle, repentance anid reformation was recounted. Prosperity was the consequence. The dwelling was his, the farm and all. His wife was happy. The beautiful young girl. almost a voung lady now, was the dirty child that was crawling on the ground on my first visit. There were three more children now. To crown the whole, he said: " After I had persevered a year in absti. nence according to that blessed pledge, taken on that awful day. on the stool in the log hut, which rises to me sometimes with spec. tral horror-after keeiping it sacredly a Year, I committed myself to the church, of which ny wife, who has been an angel helping me, was a member. Prosperity attended my worldly businese; but thi4 was not a com plete satisfaction. I wanted to be more; and conmnenced study for the ministry. My dear friend and brother, I am now a minister of the everlasting gospel. How much, what an inexpressible debt do I owe to you!" We knelt down together on the rich car. pet, instead of the cold earth, and prayed as fervently as I prayed before in the log cabin ; but in what a different strain! Instead of the almost despairing supplication, and en treaty of forlorn hearts, crushed to the earth with sorrow-thanksgiving, praises and gratitude now rose spontaneously from our tongues and hearts-0, the heart of ( 'wsar never swelled with such triumphant joy at any of his conquests, as mine does for my agency in the salvation of this one man, and the happiness of his family. THE WORST OF CRIMES. How much a w'ord or a passing sentence sometimes reveals. One day last week, a I lady, past middle age, came into the oiice to buy a paper. As we handed it to her, she spoke with trenulous earnestness--" , 1 it maskes my heart ache to see the rum-loles springing up. It is worse than highway rob. hery to sell a man rum-that only takes his money, and leaves his reason." Aye-hit true. The highwayman takes monley, l he does nest debase, degrade, and rob eirt. brokeni-no chi r'~n pauperizR.d victim is robbed of so many dollars cente, but the wealth of manhood is Strong in his integrity, he can meet L... c woirld face to face.

There was once a car avan crossing I think, the north of Inrdia, anid numbering in its companyv a godly anid devout missionary. As it passed along, a poor old man wvas overcome by the heat and labors of the jour. niey, and sinking dow~n, was left to perish on the road. The mnissionary saw him, and kneeling down at his side, wvhen the rest had passed along, whispered into his ear, " Broth. er what is your hope I" Thew dying marn raised himself a little to repily, arnd with great effort succeeded im answering, " he blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth from all sins ;" and imimediately expired with the ef fort. The misionary w'as greatly arstonish. ed at the answer ; and in the calm and peace ful appearance of the marn, he felt assured he had died in Christ. How or where, he thought, could this man, seemingly a hea their, have got this hopei And as he thought of it he observed a peice of paper grasped tightly in thre hand of the corpse, which he succeeded in gfettingi out. What do you suppose was his surprise arid delight when he found it wars a single leaf of the Bible, contairning the first Epistle of John, in wvhich these words occur, On that page the man had found the Gospel. John S. McDonald was shot and killed by Dr. Devinie, Mayor of San Antonio, Tena, on the 29rh nit. McDuinald was cowhiding lis aritago. From the New T :Book. A CIV WAR-THEBE O TEEN.

When we reached the Territory, in the ter part of last April, my company was banded, and dispersed all over the Terri. -y, wherever they chose to go. Some two eks afterwards, when the Lawrence trou s broke out, a part of my emigrants re enbled in the Marshal's posse. Aftei se difficulties were over, I again disbanded d dispersed them as before. With the exception of anme half dozen, t I was told had returned, my infornatitoin respect to them is, that they still remain the Territory. It is true, that some on ount of business being interrupted in the rritory, and the season being too far ad aced to select and plant claims, took temn. rary employim,-t in the border counties of ssouri, and perhaps some in the Santa Fe de ; all, however, still regarding the Ter ary as their place of residence.

The mileage system 'is one, however, that should have been revised and modified. A correspondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer says; As the system of mileage remains at present, there is considerable unfairness among the mem bers.-For instance, the members from Philadel. phia receive as mileage only one hundred and twenty dollars per session, while those from California and the territories west of the Rocky Mountains, are entitled to seven thousand dol. lars. Therefore the one receives six thousand two hundred and tweny-four dollars for his two years' services, while the other receives about twenty thousand dollars. This is pretty good pay for fifteen months' services, and there is no man sent here who cannot certainly live hand somely (if so disposed) on the amount provided by this bill. There is some thought that the President may v'eto the bill on the ground that it is an ex post facto law, as it increases the pay ofr the present Congress, but I imagine it is not more so than the one whereby the members vo ted themselves books. T(his having been an unusually long session, the membiers will not derive so much benefit from the bill is thiey wil herseafter, but they will each be entitled, I un derstand, to some eight or nine hundred dol lars more than they could have claimed~ nder the old law. R ELIGIOUS R Evvals-At the late camip meet. ing of the Methodist denomination 'at Mount Prospect in this District, we understand that.26 whites and about 70 colored persona joined the Church; at Ebenezer (M.

The misters in attendance at the latter place were RevdA Messrs, Crook, (Presiding Elder) Murchison and McLeod..
