EDGEFIELD, S. C., EEBRUARY 3, 1858. "HANAH BINDING SHOES." The following remarkable poem, written by Lucy LowcoM, of the Bay State, is certainly very beautiful and cannot fail to win the admiration of the reader. Poor lone Hannah, Sitting at the window, binding shoes. Faded, wrinkled, Sitting, stitching, in a mournful muse. Bright-eyed beauty once was she, When the bloom was on the tree: Spring and winter Hannah's at the window, binding-shoes. Not a neighbor Passing nod or answer will refuse To her whisper "Is there from the fishers any news'T" Oh, her heart's adrift, with one On an endless voyage gone! Night and morning Hannah's at the winduw, binding shoes. Fair young Hannah, Ben, the sun-burt fisher, gayly woos. Tall and clever, For a willing heart and hanl he sues. May-day skies are all ngltlw, And the waves are langhing so! For her wedding Hannah leaves her window, and her shoes. May is passing; 'Mong the appie-boughs a phteon coos. Hannah shudders; For the wild southwester mischief brews. Round the rocks of Marblehead, Outward bound, a schooner spcd. Silent, lonesoie, 11annah's at the window, binding shices. 'TN November, Now r.o tear her wa-ted check belews, From Newfoundland Not a sail returning will she lose, Wispering, hoarsely, " Fishermen, Ilave you, have you heard of Bein " Old with watching, Haanali's at the window, binding Alces. Twenty winters Bleach and tear the rn:ged shore she views. Twenty scasons; Never one has brought her any news. Still her dim eyes silently Chase the white sails o'er the -:ea. Hopeless, faithful. Hannah's at the window, bindina slocs. A SI!ORT PATENT SE.31RN. ny DOW, Jr. MARRIAGE A DUTY. T EX T. Don% tell me vou - liave'r' t gut thie.

My iI~'wrs--- have no doubt that after y'ou have hear'd my discourse, you wtill ask in your. own minds whether your preacher has taken unto himself a wife, and is now luxuriating in the tall clover of connubial bliss, that he pr'each eth thius. Therefore [ "'nswer beforetimec. N; hut I have measured for one, and expect to con-' jugate as soon as my somewhait diverged rays of affection can lbe brought a little mxore to a focu through the burning lens of lov-e. 1 deem it thec duty of all to get married-once in their life time at least. It is but yielding obedienCe to the wise commnands of nature. Every gander has his goose, and the birds all mnate at a pr'oper' season. Whoever heard of an old gander going down to the grave gosling-le", unless lie was prevented fromni fulltilling his destiny by the arb'i trary customs of society ? It is God that tell.s the'brute creation to multiply and replemiah without the fuas and flummer'y of a long and tedious courtship; they implicitly obe;y, eveni to the wood-louse. Thie same God uls' tells, you to marry. atnd do the bet yon cim to be h'uitt'ul; but y'tt 'don't lwvays do it. You frame soe paltry excuse (or other--such as "I have other fish to fry," "too' b'usv to think of it now," " circum1aces~ will not ahnit at pr-eent," "I'll think of it hy anl hy." &c.; :mde soe you trudge on t hrou'gh the wide world alo'ne. fioni thej me~ridIian of manhood,', ti the~ sunset of age, witix out imv'ing e'ilectedI thle oh iect for which you were p!aced upon eartlb aw iltf ni more ui'ie ihan the fifth wheel of a coac'h, a mnoon in the dayv time, a lick without a key, or' a saddle andi~ noi horse to ride. Young man ! if you have a'rrived at the righit paint in life for it, let every otier con,'derationi give way to that of getting mnarriedl. IDonrt think of' any thinig el-n. Keep poking about among the rubbish of thme woirldl till yonu have stirred up a gem worth posessinig, ini the shape of awf. eerthink of delayingr the ma.'m - etter ; for youi know delay. a-; well as wild boars. are udangrou['. A gooid wife is the imo-t e-matanit and'faithmfuil co'impanion you can possibly have by your sidle while perlbrmin~g the journey of life a1 dog isn't a touchi to hetr. She can ".. iot h yo1:r linen and your- car'e." fir y'ou-mendi v or .trov-sers, and perchance yo~ur mianners--sweeten you- sour momuents as well as ye-ur tei and eollee for you-ruftle, perhaps your shiit hiosomi, lbut n.ot your temper; and, in-teadl of sowinig the seedsof sor-row in yocu- path, she will sew bu:t tonls ci your shirts, and plant happiness insteadi ofharoir-teeth in youir bsin. Yes--amnd if you art too confoundedly lazy or- too proud to do such we'k your-self, she will carry swill to th~e hogs, cIhp w~ood, an'! dig potatoes for dinnei for her ov-e for her imishiand is such that shie w1ill do aything to please him--excepit receive comnpanyin her every day clothes. Wheni a woman lues, shec loves with a doubjk-dhistilled devotedner ; and when she hiates,. she hates on the high-pissure principle. 1ier love iS as dleepi as the occa.- as strong as a hempien halter, and~i as itamutab. as the rock of' at.ea. She wion't change it, ecept it is inl a vecry strong fit of jealousy ; ame'ven thlen it lingers, a~s if' loth to part, like evting twilight at the wimdoiws oif the west. Gemai i'i by all miean~s. All the escuses you ct fish up caain..t " d, ineg the deed " ain't woh a spoionfucl of' pigeon's iik. Mark this-if, hat with healith anid employ ifient; you are it able to support a wife', de pend upon it, y0o're not capable of supporting ...rw1L Thare. -o -..ch more need of an.. nexation; for in union, as well as in onion, there is strength. Get married, I repeat, young man! Concentrate your affections upon one object. and not distribute them, crumb by crumb, among a host of Susans, Sarahs, Marys, Elizas, Betseys, Peggys and Dorothys-allowing each scarcely enough to nibble at. Get married,and have somneb-dy to chcer you up as you journey through this "lowly vale of tears"-somcbody to scour up your dull, melancholy moments, and keep your whole life, and whatever linen you possess, in some sort of a Sunday-go-to-meeting order. Young woman! I need not tell you to look out for a husband, for I know that you are fix ing contrivances to catch one, and are as natu rally on the watch as a cat is for a mouse. But I one word in your ear, if you please. Don't bait your hook with an artificial fly of beauty; if you do, the chances are ten to one that you will catch a gudgeon-soine silly fool of a fish that I isn't worth his weight in sawdust. Array the t inner lady with the beautiful garments of vir tue, modesty, truth, morality, wisdom, and un sophisticated love, and you will dispose of your self quicker, and to much better advantage, than t you would if you displayed all *the gewgaw, I flipperings, fol-de-rols, and fiddle-de-dees in the universe. Remember, it is an awful thing to live and die a self-manufactured old maid ! My hearers--divide off into couples, sexually, as soon as possible, if you would add considera ble to your own happiness, and a little to pos terity. Your days upon earth are but short at the longest, and they should be passed as right cously and pleasantly as the weather and cii custances will permit. Get married while you are young; and then, when the frost of age shall fall and wither the flowers of youthful af lection, the leaves of connubial love will still be een; ain, perchance, a joyous offsprinr will I surround and grace the parent tree, like ivy I entwiniig ai adorning the time scathed oak.

An alarmist is one who is more industrious in yinting out the defects of the Government, han in giving it credi t for the excellencies which t really possesses. It is my wish to avoid this inenviable position in the eyes of the thoughtful. ;o fearful aIn I of the stigma which attaches to person of this character, that, could I, consi ently with what I deem due to onei whose des iny is wrapt up in the prusperity of his State, 'elain silent, I would do so. Blut the extrava ant desire which has scized the minds of a large >ortion of the citizens of South Carolina for Mile ry SchooLs, is, prevailing to such an alarming xtenit-an extent which thiratens to absorb very other speCies of school-that even T, in he absence of other and better writers, will aise from the depths of obscuiity, my feeble eice against this suicidil policy. There is no ne, be lie ever io enthusiastie, who has more tate pride-who plories more in the military chievemncits oif our little State, than I do. onc who would do more to ,tustain the loftv ioition which Ale has won in the fl14 ; none rho reveres with more veneration the trophies otten in battle. It with all my military ar or and state pride, I am loth to see the citizens f South Carolina willinglv resign all claims to re-eminence as an agricultural and literary tople. The civic laurels won by our statesmen n Senatorial strife, and worn so gracefully by our Ivm:, CA :unors, r:.i-n and other, are no mss deserving of reverence than those won on the attle plain by our muiitary chieftans.

As for China, it is so diktant that we cannot look to it for emi grants; the expense would be too great. Be side,, the unsettled condition of the Chinese empire k an obstacle that must. not be over looked. But Africa continues to be the source whence the colonies first drew their laboring population. It is convenient to our American possessions. Its inhabitants are gentle, robust, sociable, and inclined to agricultural pursuits. Then, in ad dition to this, they are oppre'sed and subject to the horrors of perpetual anarchy in their own c)untry. Are not these reasons sufficient to induce us to look to Africa for laborers for our colonies? And our planters, authorised by a government ctreful of their interest<, have turned their at tention to that quarter. African emigration has commenced; it is pursued with energy, and we hope it will continue until our colonies revive. Duk it is a great scandal to the superannuated society which was accustomed for twenty-five years to behold the world bow before its decrees in matters of philanthropy. What! lay hands on Africa, the holy ark which has been guarded wtlI such an extreme jealousy, and defended still more by the prestige which ithas acquired? Yet the Tines thinks the present opportunity firtunate for seizing it again ; and, tbanks to its proceedings, Parliament already resounds with the declaration of grievances, the mest grievous of which is that they cannot have laborers from Africa except they purcha.4e them again. It is a natural result of the social state of that conn try. Slavery is the general condition of its working population. As it is not among the merchants, the nechanics, nor the lauded pro prietors that we find emigrant laborers here, so inl Africa we do not seek among the free, who enjoy a certain degree of conhbrt anl authority, for laborers willing to expatriate thenelves to a fregn climate. African emigration would be reduced to the smiallest proportion if it were re stricted to those only who are free; but it be comes serious wh -n it falls on those who have beeft redeemed from slavery. But, say the English, when you buy slaves from the African chief you encourage those hiefs to procure others by teans of incursions, and thus perpetuate intestine wars in that un happy couitry. Unfortunately, the barbarism which reigns in that continent is exercised in dependently of al! outside pressure. When an African chief does not sell his slaves he kills them. To deprive Africa of contact with civilization, under the pretext of preserving peace among her tribes, ii to act like a quack, who, to cure an eription kills his patient by the internal c.ncentration ot the ikease. The African chief tini have ro motive for imaking war ; they do s9 out of pure in-Inlet o destructiveness, and byiw thik tlone they prove themselves savages. The pior negro capt ives destined for human sarilice on the occasioa of soni public festival, 01 on the tom!b of a warrior, would hardly call it philanthropy to leave then to their fite un der pretext ot a humntoe oIbjection to their pur ea.ze for eminir.ation. bILe societies have undertaken to submit S.-.ea tom ) a egime of preaebing, distribution of difyin trats and saintly colunnnimion.
