INEVER HAVE BEEN FALSE TO THEE.
nY GEORGE P. tORRIS.
I never have been false to thee!
The heart I gave thee still is thine;
Though thou hast been untrue to me,
And I no more may call thee mine!
I've loved as woman ever loves,
With constant soul in good or ill;
Thou'st proved, as man too often proves,
A rover-but I love thel still!
Yet think not that my spirit stoops
To bind thee captive in my train !
Love's not a flower, at sunset droops,
But smiles when comes her god again!
Thy words, which fall unheeded now,
Could once my heart-strings madly thrill
Love's golden chain and burning vow
Are broken-but I love thee still!
Once what a heaven of bliss was ours,
When love dispelled the clouds of care,
And time went Iy with birds and flowers,
While song and incense tilled the air!
The past is mine-the present thine
Should thoughts of me thy future fill,
Think what a destiny is uine,
To lose-but love thee, fale one, still!
[From the French of ITypolite Andeval.]
THE WAY TO PARADISE.
A child stood weeping at the gate,
Of La Pttlie disconsolate,
Asking to see her mother dear,
" Begne," the brutal porter cried,
" Your prayer is vain, she is not here."
" I know she is," the child replicd,
Oh. let me see her, I implore;"
And still she rapped the fastened door,
Till one more hindly than the rest,
Said. " Cease thy tears, take my advice,
And try ta calm your trouh.ed breast,
Your mother's gone to Paradise."
To Paradise! Oh, where's the way 1
She asked of every one she met;
T.ey Ulisten kindly, and ail say,
" The way is long, and sore beset
'With obstacles." But Ifope leads on,
And Pity supports her sinking heart,
Faith encourages-it shail lie done;
And Charity fulfills her part;
And the child hopes once more to see
Her mother's face, and with her be,
Resolved at any-sacrifice
- To find this way to Paradise..
At length, upon a barren soil,
Fatigue, and hunger, and the iight
Arrest her in her weary toil;
A gentle shepherd sees her pigiht.
And to a convent near doth lend her:
The sisters hasten forth to aid her,
But all too late! she pales and trembles:
)eath, who parts and re-assembles,
To her mother soon unites her;
Heaven opens, God invites her
Unstained, and pure from earthly vice,
The siuless child's in Paradise.
A ialmOLUJTION iY lb1N[SE tCE.
We like to treasure tip all the historical Ic
gands of our Revolutionary struggle. They are
sketches of the past which grow more valuable
as year after year passes by, and the incidlents
they refer to become more and more deeply
enveloped int the haze and mystery of tradition.I
The one which follows is full of initerest, atnd
fuirnishes an instance of courage, as striking ast
any connected with the patt taken by South
Carolina in the events of those troublesome
times.
The patriotic enthusiasm which prevaileu
among the pecople during the seige of Augusta
and Cambridge, promnpted to numerous acts of
personal risk and sacrifice. This spirit, encour
;tged by the success of Sumter and others over
the British arms, was~ earnestly foistered lby
{Gen. Green, whose directions marked at lea.s:
thle outine of every undertaking in lie elibrt~s
maded to strike a 1lowr at the invader's poer
The sons of the Martin family were amnilg t he
inost distinguished for active service rendleredl.
and for injuries sustained at the enemy's hands.
The wives of the two obiest, (luring their ab
sence remained at home with their mother-in
law. One evening intelligen~e came to them
that a courier, conveying important dispatches
to one of the upper atations, had to pass that
night along the road, guarded by two British
ollicers. They determined to waylay the party,
andl, at the risk of their live.4, obtain possessi
of the papers.
For this purpose the two yougg wimien dhi+
gutised themselves in their husbaitl.' elothes
and being well provided with arms, took t heir
station at a point on the road which they knew
the escort must pass. It was already hate, and~
they had not watited long befor e the tramp of
horses was heard in thme dlistance. It imay lbe
imiagined with what anxiou4 expectation the
heroines awaited the approach of the critical
moment on which so much depended. The
forest solitud.e around them, the si~enee of thme
night. and the darknew;s, must have :Llded to
-.th' terrors conjured up by buzey fiincy. ['res
,cmntly the courier appe tred, with his attendant
~gars. As they camue close to the spit, the
eli..guised women leapied from their covert in
the bushmee, presented their pi-tol.a at the nili
:er:'. and dma5aled the instant surrendler of the
party and their despatches. The mzen were
comleltely taken by surprise, and their alarm
at the attack yielded a prompt sub~mis-on. 'The
seemilng soldiers put thema on parole, alnd having
taken possession of the paes ha.tened homte
lby a shor.t cut through the wvoods. No time!
was lo4t in sending the important, doen:nents
by a trusty messenmger~ to General CGreen. T1hie
adventure had a singular termination. Inu
paroled officers, thus thwarted im t heir ission.
returned by the road they had taken, and stop
ping at the house of. Mr's. Martin asked accuzm
modationl as weary travelers far the night. 'I'he
hostess inquired thme rea-on nf their returning
so soon after they had pm;Led~. lhey relhied
by showing their paroles, saying they had binen
taken prinners by two rebel la 1k. Tlhe ladies
rallied themi upon their want of intrepidity.
"hIad you no arms ?" was aL-ked.
The officer.; answered that theyv had armns.
but were allowved no time to use their weapong.
They departed next morning hiaving no suspt
con that they owed their capture to the very
women whose hospitality they had claimed.
e mother of this patriot family was a na
tire of Carolina county, Virginia. ner nai
was Elizabeth Marshall, and she was probal
of the same family with Chief Justice Marsh:
as she belonged to the sane neighborhood. .
ter her marriage to Abram Martin, she mov
to this settlement bordering on the Indian i
tion. Ninety-six, now Edgefield District, Sou
Carolina. The country at that time was spar;
ly settled, most of its inhabitants being t
pioneers from other States, chiefly from V
ginia: and their neighborhood to the Indin
had caused the adoption of some of their sav
habits. The name of Edgefield is said to ha
been given because it was at that period t
edge or boundary of the respectablo setth
and their cultivated fields. Civilization, ho
ever, increased with the population, and in t
time of the Revolution, Ninety-six was amo
tlgforemost in sending into the field its lu(
if I rdy and enterprising troops to ol)poc t
British and their savage allies.
At the commencement of the contest M
Martin lad nine children, seven of whom w<
sons old enough to bear arms. These bra
yotmg 1en, under the tuition and example
their parents. had grown up into attachment
their country, and ardently devoted te its si
Vice were realy on every occasion to oneount
the dangers of border warfare. When the Ii
call for volunteers sounded through the I
the mother encouraged their patriotic zeal.
(ha, boys," she said, light for your c
try! tight till death, if you must, but never I
your country be di.ionored. Were I a nal
would go with you."
At another time, when Col. Cruger couma'
tied the British at Cambridge and Col. Bro%
it Augu-,ta, several Uritish ollicers stopped
her house for refreslnent ; ad one of thC
.:sked how many soas she had. She anaswer
-eight ; and to the question where they
Were, replied pronmiptly :
" Seven of them are engaged in the service
their country."

ingly, " Vou have enough of them."

COTTON#
The'telegraph brought us ws, yesterday, of
a further advance in cotton; is has been anx
iously looked for by all. Thi late remarkable
decline from the high prices the Fall, was one
of the causes of the financia C *s that has borne
so heavily on the whole a),fy, causing the
failure of many of the best ioures. Planters
would not sell, even at fair. ices, when their
hopes had been elevated by,,, e expectation of
fourteen and fifteen cents, as hey were in the
early part of the season. N selling, they can
not pay their bill.;, and the .sequence is the
ierchant and man of busin is the sulfrer.
The planter consults his oi Pterest, whether
it is best to sell or not. 11e'eares little for the
,aylieit of his accouts-thiking a month or
two canii make but little diffet ce. If he were
alone, it would be the case, b.when every one,
or nearly -o, does this, the efl t is evident-'-tbe
merchant cannot meet his li lities, his credi
tors in town suffer, and the Ufect is like a con
tagious disease-it spreads all round.
This is the true stato of hings at present.
Whilst eren" one is compli nil of the extraor
linair' .stiigenicy of tany, a ' have the means
of reiief ill our hands. The Pimount of cotton
in the country is larger by fI than it probably
w-r wa., beWUe at this seAS The price has
now Iisen to be a fidr one, ad if our planters
genera'llly would !jell and pay p their indLbted
ne., we should soon have .mosperouis tiics.
We believe that our lpl.mters njure themiselves
bY pecting to get the lIgh rices of the early

with pleasure from Washin::t.n, that the Hon. I

the expediency ot' caninio-g our reveitme systeui.
-This will bIe a glorious imoveient for bringing
back our Goveri'nent to lirst principles. We
cong:'atulate the true friends of the Constitu

operation the Treasury at the comtnencemenit of
a fiscal quarter may he fearltilly !ill of coin,i
and at the end of that quarter distressingly
empty. There is no reliance whatever to be
placed upon its integrity or stability. It is at
the mercy of' cumtnercial caprice The creature
of the custoin house, the cuntraction and Cx
pansion of it., receipts are regulated by tihe
amnoliiut of lfripperIies con,mned by the Wuonen

MIISTER TO RUSSIA.
The Washington papers report the confirma
tion by the Senate of the nominration of the
Hon. F. W. Pickens as Minitcr to Russia.
On the reception. last summer, of the tender
of thi.s appointment by President Buchanan,
Mr. Pickens declined the honor; but we learn
that in consequence of the very handsome man
ncr in which the President repeated it, and his
anxious expressions o, the subject, Mr. Pckens
has decided to accept the missiton.
The appointment is a judicious one, and Mr.
Buchanan kno'ws that Mr. Pickens is the best
informed statesman in South Carolina. We say
this without derogation from others, as his po
litical opponents admint it. We were his clas -
mate and room-mate in college, and know that
at nineteen years he was in coaMrrespondence with
John C. Calhoun, George MeDuflie, Warren R.
Davis, Patrick Noble and other prominent states
men then in public life, and at that period was
deeply interested in the political questions of the
day. A constant correspondence with him from
college days, enables us to bear test imony to the
anxious interest he has always had in whatever
concerns the interest or honor of his native
State.
His devotion to it caused him to refuni, on
former occa-ions, the miissions to France, Aus
tria and Eigland, and no one conld withgore
propriety now accept a position to represent tho
Union abroad. His thorouigh knowledge of the
g'overnmlent, its history ai relations at home
ad azoad, eninently qualify hin tor any min
isterial position in which lie may cons.ent to
setrve. Our relations with Rus.,ia are wore
m iportant than u~suially ahnitted, and we are
confident Mr. Pickens will do much to render
then even inure so.-Suith Caroliakni.
