The sunlight sheds
A ch. ering ray
d While Autumn spreads
A suro decay;
As if to inock'the o'erhanging gloom
Whh liciovers round sweet nature's torub.
No more the bowers
Look fair as May,
For earth's sweet flowers
a No- haste away;
The birds have ceased their summer song,
And winter cometh, hastening on.
Yet stay awhile
Ye flowrets gay,
And still beguile
Sad winter's day;
Still let thy beauty deck the grove,
Still breathe of happiness and love.
Speak to my heiart,
Dea' flowers, and say
Why all thats's bright
Must. fade away ?
Alas. the leaves that round me lie
Whisper that all, like them, must die.

with that tranquility and happinesas which
chiaraicterizes all wsellI reguhlated governments.
Previous to thme ht r'ew year's a national ser'en
jty has' been one of our distinguishing fe'atures
amtiong the nations of the globe; anid it was that
.unison of' deLter'minationm, loge her with concor'
dneof senltiment, that rendered us,invincible
'to all inivasions. Bunt for' tl-e last fewu years
..everal ep~te-tions have been agitated, (anmong
wvhich slavery was the mtost important) which
have caused di sensions ahnist~ bordering on en
.mity. isuiion of the Stag~ has been lonmg
-thought of' in the South, ye't it isa pylicy which
may bie te'rmed a fearful remnedy. In disuniting
the nmatioun there are miany links to be broken
besides the grand lock chain of thme republic.
Who will clantn those Wa~mshigtons of (recedom,
whoise nmies are blenmded with the dsawning era
of our country ? Which of us will boast of
those deeds of magnanimiity and bravery, which
first ailotted us a station among the greattest nua
tions of the 'earth? Who will hold that sncred
relic of our indehpemrlence ? Shall the constitmu

disjoitedl friagmtetnts lie blowin by a tornado of

heart of' an Atmercan lheat high with patriotic
amiration when the name of Union should bc
pronounced! That name wnich once stirred etm
tions of the highest fervour, would now be re
echoed by the monotonous expressions of an ur
happy people. These are questions which ar
more easily propounded than answered. Bu
fearful as the result of a disorgani7ation may b<
private warfare is more to be avoided. And i
my humble opinion the last dread result is fa
closing around us. Unless the South rouse tha
spirit of independence, which has long been a
undisputed heritage, the North will secretly ad

to pounce down upon her unsuspecting brothe

Oh Johny, sweet Johny, my tears fast are flowint
While love to my babe in my sad.heart is glowing
Thy ashes lie cold, but thy nemory burns bright
My Joliny, my darling, sweet angel of light.
Thou hast left my lone spirit in sadness and gloom
Thon wast snatched from my bosom and laid ii
the tomb;
Thy blithe merry laugh to my fond heart so dear
Ilow I miss that sweet voice that once fell or
my ear.
Shall I see thee no more, my sweet one, nor hear
Thy voice till we meet in a world free fron
care'1
Oh, thatsweet little hand then didst give me to kiss
Oht, the light of thy blue eyes how sadly I miss
Those bright eyes in darkness are closed, ani
forever;
Thy sweet gladsome voice I shall listen to nev er
There are other bright eyes and other glad voices
But none like mly Jolnty's, ny spirit rejiices.
V .. ,~ .. A '

Where childhood's days arv iuessed;
Th-eyre bound by love's mott tender band
That with my life must last.
Johny, though many milos may lie
Between thy Iust and me,
Never canl sweet alletioi die
That knits my heart to thee.
How happy ate the laimbs, my love,
Ilow sale and calm they rest;
And you've a Shepherd there above
Of all kind siepherds best.
And thy fonumi mother soon will meet
She then will know how Cani thy rest
And. th.u how strnmg he; love.

'filE P)\WER OF .le.ONYLLl.E8,
Toc onie who se attention has not beeni drawni
e Upcally to the subict. it will be supiinig t
call to niinl low many of the m91ost 1blim
and compn~rehentsive passages in t lhe English lhmn
nag~e coniit wholly or chielly of mnoiisyllables.
Of the ,.ixty-six words compri-inig thle Lor's
Payer, loritv-eighit are of one .syllabl. . Oft the.
svnteca words comipo-ing I f liloen Rule
fifteen ar~e of one syllable. The motast impre.+
sie idea of 1he creaitive power of Jlehovah is
ecprag-ved entirely ii n minosyllab'les: And
God said, Let there be light, andl there was
light." Oine of the most encoturagmtg promises
of Scripture is expressed in fifteen wvords, all
but one of which are monosyllabiles: "I1 love
them that love me, and those tha:ut seek mec
early shall lind mec."
Among human compositions several remnarka
ble instances of the same character occur. O.
twent-six words in the following verse, all biut
two are monosyllables:
"MAy God,.who makes the sun to kiiow
llis p'roper~ hour to rise,
And to give light toalil below,
Doath send him round the skies."
Few sentences in poettry or prose, whatever
their length, contain so much doctrinli mturc
tion, aitford so miuch pr-ecius consolat inn, or in
spire so much exnl tinig hope, as the followinlg
in which all the words lint one ar~se monosylla
bles:
-- JFesus, my Go'd, I know his name,
1his name is all my trust;
Nor will lhe lput. my soul to shanme,
Not- let, my hope he lust."

OR DEPENDENCE ON THiE NOUTu.-In a re-!
cent letter, Mr. Nathan Appleton, of Boston,
thus speaks of the influence of the New York
banks. Will the South continue thus depend
ent on New York, when the means of indepen
dence are within her grasp? Let us strike
while the iron is hot for direct trade with Eu
rope-conmereiti 'independence will be the
great result:
"New York is the great central banking
power. She sets the key note to the whole
country. If she expands, the whole country
expands. It she contracts, it is felt to the re.
motest extremities. It is a tremendous power,
that of increasing or diminishing the circulating
medium of the whole country. It is a deep
responsibility, and demands sound discretion
anl much wisdom in its regulation. Unfortu
nately, there appears to be no unity of action,
no controlling principle, in the management of
this power. It is divided between fifty live
banks, each acting its own separate part, under
the influence of different opinions and diffei ent
interests. Banks are public institutions; they
are founded for the public good; and the duty
of consulting the good of the community in the
use of their great power. is as sacred as that. of
providing fbr their own safety. There is appa
rently no individual of sufficient influence to
bring this heterogeneous mass to unity of ac
tion in a crisis like the present, as was Albert
Gallatin, whilst he lived."

seems (says the -1&ing Sun) to be an inpres
sion on. the minds of nany, that the banks in
this State forfeit their charters when they cease
to par out specie. This is not correct, as shown
by the foilowing act, passed December, 1-40, to
wlich the banks are subject. Second section of
which reads its Follows:
" Every bank which shall suspend the payment
of current coin for its notes. or which shall de.
elare a determination to suspend'or refuse pay
1ment of its notes, according to their legal obli.
gation, in current coin, shall become liable to
pay to the State of South Carolina, at the expi.

per cent, per annum, up.on the whole amount of

EMCIANGE-CONYIDENCE.
The uncertainty and extraordinaryvacillation;
of the price of exchange in New York would
indicate either the inability of that market tc
forward the crops by the purchase of the ex
change drawn on them, or a continuation ol
panic and distrust of European steadiness, proba
bly both. Reduced as is the rate bf exchange
in the United States, to thr great loss of the
producer, still everywhere there is the evidence
that it is sold and that produce is going forward,
The work of releif then goes on, however al
present limited and gradual. Any progreM
whatever must receive necelerati-i from the in
creased means and confidence which it produces.
It must however take months to achieve any
positive results, and the American people must
conient to move slowly. A great shock has
been given both to monetary and connercial
relations. Great apprehension of the danger of
expansion after a revulsion, produced by ton
tracdon, and ending in universal distrust, tLe
doubt of safety in conmercial operations, the
saritico of immense amounts of inerchandize,
the Ito1arding of specie, the fall of produce and
the precarious condition of monetary 'alitirs in
Europe, cannot be overcome or disentangled in
any summary mode. On the other hand, the
restoration of confidence, the chief ekeeil (f reief,
would go far, aided by the amount of specie in
Aierici, equal to what it usually has, to Iheili
tate the operations tending to relief. This de
$ired confidence could not exhibit itself in more
available and eflective firns, than by. a re-de
posit in the Banks of the specie drawn from
thei, and the unhesitating purchase, at fair
rates, of produce bills. Both may safely be
trusted; both would be decisive in securing re
ief; and both the best basis of x desirable bank
axpansion.
We arc not of those who, on the one hand,
pprehended an almost universal ruin, or of
those who, on the other, anticipate a prompt re
turn of easy and bright times. We believe trit
the United States cai and will do much to bring
their crops into the market of the world at fair
prices, and that Europe can lend prompt and
tea-lv aid in consummating this end.
The importers of New York are no doubt hard
prLe-sed to obtain the ineans to make their neces
sarv remittance to Europe, and to obtain the
groldt whereby to take giods out of blud, Of
which a large quantity must be locked up in the
overnment warehou-es. Hlence the low price
ot exchange, (if which they are the primcipal
>uyers. The legal dilliculties which embarrass
the New York lLanks, and the hesitation they
iu-t feel in haza:irding any operations, must also
heck their enterin-, the exchange market. Un
til Eoropean capitalists, herefore, enter the pro
ilce and exchange market, which non furnishes
mI unbouniled lield of' sure prolfit to them, but
itile steadiness may be expected.
Th embarrwistlment of exchange is a practical
llustration of how desirabhe it is thait the com
nercial and fhinancial relations of the South with

anger one John Fee, living on ilulloch's Crzbk -
in York District, a few dlays since, shot his -
mare, some cattle and hogs, and on.Sunday
(yesterday) he set fire to his dwelling, which
was locked, and the key afterwards found on.
his person, in which his three motherless chik
dren, aged from five to fourteen 'years, are sup
lpo-ed to have perished.
It seems a Peace Warrant had been issued -
against him on complaint of a neighbor; that
when an otficer went to arrest hin he was seen
to be fortilied (as it were) in one of hi- barns,
armed with a gun, and swearing to shoot any
who would approach him. There were simty or
seventy persons leaving the house when 'Mr.
Kerr arrived, who he summoned to accompany
himn to the barn, but the cry was, "he will
shoot somebody." So they refruled with Thy
exception of John ilartness and brother; when -
diey got to the barn stratagem had to be resert
ed to, --which was effectual in securing him.
The.prisoner stated that the children wcro -
at a certain house, which was knoiwn to be in
correct. lie then said he had last seen them
at "the Spring," but the presumption is they
have perished in the flames.
The poor apology of "intemperance4' we
learn, cannot be urged in this instance. Fee i,
said to be a morose manuone not given to the V
soft and easy impulses of nature; an enemy to
the world, ie became so to his nearest and
dearest kindred. We forbear comment,-as the
matter mnu.Nt undergo judicial Investigation, but
we regret, that in the same paper. we ha ve
