The True Betrothal. Thc Maiden's Question. Yes, you vow to lovo me ever, As y<u love mo now, to-day, Say tn. chango ahall us dissever, Answer me oae question, pray : Ever ! 'tis a word supernal Borrowed from a foreign tongue, It belongs to the eternal And on angels' lips first hung. Boundless, endless is ita meaning. Though men hem it in Time's spaco; Each, in littleness o'erweoning, Bin?is it to Ait mortal race. Tell inc where your ever reacheth, To Death's night or Heaven's day ? And by what your answer teacheth, I will answer yea or nay. Answer. Onward to thecreat immortal I my troth would plight, Should I see thee pass Diath's portal Love should &wn no blight; Short tho space our souls would sever, Brief would bc Love's night ; Thus I swear to thee forever ! Love that knows no flight. Acceptance. Now in thine I place my hand, Thou wilt keep it in thy clasp Till Doath part Love's mortal band, Loose a littlo while its grasp. In thy heart my heart I drop, Joying in the sacrifice, Since our love's sweet, grand devico Is tho vast forever! . The Future of South Carolina. A correspondent of the New York Times (who. front the tone of his letter, is evidently a Republican) writes from Charleston, giving his views rather freely concerning men and politics in the Pal metto State. After noting thc complete ness of the Republican triumph at the recent election, he proceeds to say : Yet the election is far from satisfactory. Its result as to principles is all tint true patriots can ask, but in important respects it falls-short of what was expected by the friends of true reconstruction. Not in every case has sufficient respect been paid to the commonest honesty, and it must be said and known that in this first great election by the new nation the scheming of the politicians out-genera led thc virtue of the people. These remarks should not apply to General Scott-the Huvernor elect for thc State of South Carolina. His record is good, and he doubtless is what he reputes to be-a plain, straightforward, honest soldier. Sensible of the delicacy of his trust, and trembling beneath thc weight of respon sibility now laid upon him, he goes for .ward with anxiety, and is frank enough to fear that he is not in the highest re spect the man lo lead South Carolina back to her place. But genuine modesty alter al! generally guards the way torea! ability, and wc can afford to wait. Gov ernor Scott will employ his whole energy in the work, and tts it is well known tba: he is not. extreme in his views cr disposi tion, but judiciously the contrary, it is fail to presume that, ring-masters aside, t!;j whole people will rally to his stann ard, and reconstruetion will begin. One thing ) our correspondent knows-he will not please the extremists, and must no: bc classed with the Butler, Stevens and Sumner faction, but lie will usc his hard Western sense where they would resort to line theories, and cslabiish order where they would pursue experiment. Let Governor Scott go forward with his work, determined to bury the pas:, and bring divorced elements together by uniting sympathy for thc fallen with jus tice for ail, and, though not a statesman, he. will succeed in thc highest efforts of statesmanship, aad place South Carolina within thc fraternal embrace ol" the Con stitution of the knited States, and restore her to the confidence and pride: of the world. To do this it is not necessary for him to cry Radicalism, and throw daily taunts of the worst party spirit into the teeth of thc vanquished. lie will not lind it in his linc of duty .to pursue the flagrant wrong ot* reminding tho enfran chised blacks of their supremacy, and I ht" ir 'ut .;.*rsiiij> over those who nnee proudly lorded it river ilium. He will IVA lind ir compatible with public interest to on frage every feeling of manliness bj every day shaking the broken cliaiti which so chafed and gulled them in ihcir servitude, thus arousing their forgotten haired for their helpless masters of the former ag-*, as so many extreme measure mon are 'toing here to-day, as your cor respondent can testify, having heard and seen. Such a course, here deprecated and condemned, can have but one ten dency, namely-to inaugurate what many predict, because they desire a war of classes, which would bc simply extermi nation of one. If Governor Scott bas a policy, it is ono of humanity-broad, true, catholic humanity-within the spirit i?!' thp Constitution of the State and of th:: United States. Le? him, therefore, bc encouraged and upheld, and let bim not fear the boundings of partisans or the threats of factions. Thc country will find that your correspondent has not mis measured this man, or drawn a false por trait. G??n. Scott is respected here, f li lli.: qualities wo have named, by ail clai se.-:. Thc chief rebels soften in their re spect for him, while they know him to bc firm and und inching, and the blacks are enthusiastic in his praise, for he re minds them constantly of him who " with charity f"r all ard malice toward none," signed the proclamation which shivered their bonds forever. Tiie representative elect to Congress from the Second District, (which includes this city.) is a Mr. C. C. Bowen, of whom you have doubtless hcaid something. How Mr. Bowen can take the oath re main-? to be seen. One thing seems lo be conc?d?e! here on all sides, namely, that his nomination was iniquitous, and his election can bring nothing bul mischief to the people whose interests he seems anxiou; to take charge of. Not gifted, but bold ; not discreet, but volu ble : not learned, but swaggering ; not particular, but ambitious ; not black, but. comely-this Georgia Confederate Cap tain wormed himself into the ring, into the convention, into the nominating mouth and over the heads of worthy men into the saddle for a seat in Washington, and by the will of reconstructed South Caro lina is declared the choice for the same, fie who was cashiered in the rebel ser vice for misconduct is accounted worthy to sit in Washington, thc first representa tive of reconstructed South Carolina, from the proud City of Charleston ! Well, justice to whom justice, and chari ty to whom charity is due-but this man ; was not, is not the choice ot the people, and it is hoped that the Congress, so ' ready to impeach a President for high 1 crimes and misdemeanors, will prevent this -maa from adding instil* to ?yurjr. j1 AD Adroit Swordsman, Pulaski, as is well known, was as adroit a swordsman as he was perfect in horsemanship, and he ever rode a power ful and fleet charger. During the retreat of American army through New Jersey, in the darkest hour of our national ad versity, Pulaski was, with a small party of horsemen, pursued by a large party of British cavalry, the leader of which was a good horseman, and mounted near ly as well as Pulaski. Pulaski rode in the rear of his detachment, and the Bri tish cr.ptain in front of those he com manded. The morning sun was shining brightly, casting oblique shadows, and as the pur sued party entered a long narrow lame, Pulaski, having .satisfied himself of the superior speed and command of his horse over that of his pursuer, slackened his pace and kepi, his horse to the side of the lane farthest from the sun. The pur suing'ofneer came up in hot haste, his sword elevated so as to make the decisive cut upon Pulaski as soon as he could reach him. Pulaski rode as though he heard not the advance upon him-yet he kept his eyes fixed warily upon the ground on the side of his horse towards the sun on the right. As soon as he saw the shadow of his pursuer's horse gain upon him, and that the horse's head, by his shadow, had 'gained about half the length of his own horse's body, he gave the sudden sword cut of St. George with his powerful arm, and saw the decapited head of the Eng lish officer following the stroke. ? His mathematical eye had measured the distance by thc position of the shadow so accurately-his position giving a long back reach to his arm, while the cross stroke of his pursuer must have been made at a much shorter distance to have taken effect- that the pursuing officer lost his head before he suspected that his proximity was known, or that a blow was meditated. ?!f I Could only See my Mollier." "If I could only see my mother!" Again and again was the yearning cry repeated " If 1 could only see my mother !" The vessel rocked, and the waters, chased by a fresh wind, played musically against the side of the ship. The sailor, a second mate, quite youthful, lay in his narrow bed, his eyes glazing, his limbs stiffening, his breath failing, it was not pleasant to die thus in this ahakjrig, plung ing ship; but he seemed not to mind his bodily comfort-his eyes looked far away -and ever and anon broke forth that grieving cry " If 1 could only see my mother!" An oh! .sailor sat by, the Bible in his hand, from which he had been reading, ile bent above the youngman, and asked him why he was as so anxious to sec the mother ho had wilfully left. "Oh! that's tho reason," he cried in anguish " I've nearly broken her heart, and I can't die in peace. She was a good mother to me-oh! so good a mother; she bore everything from her wild boy, and once she said, 4 My son. when you come to die, you will remember all this.' " "Oh, if I could only sec my mother!" lie never saw his motlier. He died with the yearning cry upon lus lips, as many a one has died who slighted the mother who loved him. The waves roll over him, and his bones whiten at the bottom of the sra. and that dread cry has gone before God, there to bc regis tered forever. Couldn't Hel]) lt. In a certain town on the Penobscol river lived two worthy men, neighbors aud friends ; but they could never agree on political questions. In dispute une day, one of thc disputants lost temper and called the other "liar," "fool," ;" knave," and so on. This was his weak ness. Ile easily lost self-control; then was very abusive ; und then repented. On the occasion referred to, he was sn chagrined at thc exhibition he h>id made of passion I hat he soon called upon his neighbor, penitent and purposing an apolo gy. We. give, in substance, the apology : .' I am ashamed of myself for being so abusive in my talk to y<>u. To think I slim 1 call neighbor and friend 'liar.' Mool,'and 'knave' lair sorry, andi have come to apologize. Forgive un?. I know not why it is, lhat, in my talk with yo?, I 11 ?so my temper, lint the fact i>\ yon always talk to much like a-jackass, I can't help it." Many good men h ive weaknesses of character or manner, which seem abso lutely incurable. We heard of a certain brother who constantly made himself a thorn in thc flesh of his fellow church members by his habit of using slang talk and coarse colloquialisms in lib prayers. In vain thc. Church repeatedly expressed their disapproval of his uncouth phrases So lar from being silenced, thu offending brother was only grieved and alienated. At last a committee of the deacons went to have a final talk with him, and so ju diciously was the interview conducted, that a happy issue seemed certain. ' Prayer closed tho visit, and the disciplined and penitent member led the devotions, when almost the first sentence came out: "0 Lord ! I beseech thee, help me and these dear brethren to hitch forties together!1' Watchman and Jirjlcctor. Another Lillie Story. We have published q lite a number of little stories pertaining bil the public in general, and tho craft in particular, yet still have another left, which is as follows : TUE TWO MERCHANTS. I. When trade grew slack and notes fell due, the merchant's face crew long and blue; his dreams were troubled through the night, with sheriffs' bailiffs all in sight. I At last his wife unto him said : Ilise up at once, get out of bed, and get your paper, ink and pen, and say these words unto all men : ? My goods I wi>h to sell to you, and to your wives and daughters loo ; my prices ihey slid! bc so low, that each will buy before t hoy go. Ile did a^ his good wife advised, mid in the papers advertised. Crowds came and bought of all he had ; his notes were paid, his dreams made glad; and he will t?ll to yon this dav. how well did prin ter's ink repay. He told us this with knowing wink, how he was saved by printer's ink. ' If. The other in a place as tight, contented was thc press to slight; and did not let the people know, of what he did or where to go. His drafts fell due and were not paid, and a lovy on his goods was made ; the store was closed until the sale, and for some time he was in jail. A bank rupt now without a cent, nt leisure he can deep repent, that he was foolish and unwise, and did not freely advertise. If you think the moral of this story wise, you should oof; ueglecs to advertise, ? Extravagance. It has become so customary to declain about the extravagance of women, the popular opinion has almost quite forge that men are spendthrifts too. We admi that is proper enough to decry diamond: French laces, Indian shawls, and othe luxuries of the sex, when the wearers c these articles exceed their means in bu) ing them. We do not deuy that many failure may be traced, remotely, to th extravagance of a wife. We challeng no journal for asserting that our imporl are excessive, partly on account of th fondness of our women for needless fen eign luxuries. But are ihe ladies th sole offenders ? Have men no hobbic on which they squander thousands? D husbands never waste money ? Wh pay for the wine and brandies which mali so important a figure in our importations Let the truth be told. Of the two sexe ours is, perhaps, the more extravagam Is it either honest or chivalrous, therefor to abuse the ladies, when the men are tl greater spend-thrifts of the two? Take the case of a family of wealtl The wife likes a fine equipage, elegai furniture, and rich dresses; she giv< costly parties in the winter, and goes t Saratoga or Cape May in summer ; st has her bill at a jeweler's, her credit i a fashionable dry goods store, her seal at the opera. But what, meantime, is ht husband doing ? If an epicure, his wir bill amounts to thousands ; if a pictui fancier, his gallery is a continual drain o his purse ; if he has a mania for buildin; he is forever buying town-houses, c erecting country-seats. Arc horses h hobby ? Ile is never happy unless tradin for a new span, showing off a fast trotte or betting at some private race-coursi All the hobbies, however, are venial, con pared with what which some have fe speculating in stocks. Where thousand are squandered by fashionable women o French luxuries, tens of thousands ar wasted by men in this favorite pursuit < the idle rich. In families of fortune, nai even in families of moderate means, th extravagance -of fathers and husband keeps even pace with that of wives an daughters. Among the mechanics and operative it is the same. The man who makes te dollars a week- spends mors money o tobacco and beer than his helpmate, if h has one, on her personal luxuries. Sh works, too, quite as hard as he does. I household affairs, moreover, her econom is the slicet-anchor of the family. Neve: or rarely, does she indulge in what i cn lied pleasure. Yet, if she spends trifle on a ribbon, it is pronounced e; travagance ; if she asks for a week in th country, ruin is predicted. Thc wome have not had fair play. It is the ol story of the lion who wrote his biograph for we men make newspapers and publi opinion, and we have praised ourselvc at the expense of thc other sex. Is ? not time that some of us were more in partial I Both sexes, we are free to ad mit. spend quite too much. But in ay portioning the sin of extravagance, th men have heretofore laid all the blain on liio women. It has been a weaknes of our sex, however, brave as we thinl ourselves, always to shirk our share e tin! guilt ; for even Adam, when he hai eaten the apple, was coward enough ti say, " the women templed me and 1 di ca?." And Adam's descendants, true t their blood, charge all the cxtravaganc to women. Beautifully Expressed! Tho Memphis Avalanche, of late date thus closes an editorial upon the charae ter, intelligence, courage and patriotisn of the soldiers that composed the South ern army : Surely no anny ever bid in it sucl soldiers as were those of our Southon army. The pulpit sent its ministers great and good. The bar sent its lawyer in troops. The press sent its editors publishers, and printers. Tho col legi sent out its professors and students bj thc hundreds. The murals and intelli gencc, thc courage, the purity* of tin Southern soldiers, ha^ hardly been equal I ed in the annals of war. No power car ever compel the Southern people to for got their virtues or ignore their patriot ism. Thc heel of the despot cnn nevei crn>!i out the feeling of devotion to thc memory of our gloriously dead. Thc military satrap may prevent our follow ing i ?le exhumed dead to their last rest ing place, but we cannot be prevented from embalming them in our memory, and enshrining ihern n our hc::rts. A-i long as earth bears a flower, or thc sea utils a wave, so long will heart and memory cling to those who fell in thc lost cause! 'Mic name of tho humblest private ?hall live in amaranthine beauty, iv hen prouder names shall have gone down lo infamy. On a warm summer's day, three men were 1 rottght before a fair, round Dutch magistrat Oj accused of drunkenness. His honor, having premised willi a hearty swig of coot punch, began with the first : " You rascal ! p>^ you ki!tv or pe you not kilty?" 11 Guilty." " Vat you git dhrunk on?" . "Blackstrap." "Vat! git dhrunk on blackstrap, you wi Hain you ! Den dis pe mine cverlastin' sentence, dat you-pe fined forty shillings." The second culprit being questioned in like manner, as to guilt or innocence, likewise owned himself guilty. " Now, tell me, you wile dhrunken rascal, vat you git dhrunk on?" "Sling." "Vat! you git dhrunk on sling, "you graceless wagabone? you swillin' sod, you ! Den 1 gives my darnal sentence, dat you pe fined twenty shillings." The third and last prisoner was now brought forward; and, like the others pleaded guilty. " Vat you git dhrunk on ?" " Punch." "Ah, you dipplin' rogue you ! I fines you shust notting at all ; for I gits dhrunk on punch miueself sometimes." Goon HIT.-A negro man was driving a rather refractory cow along the street yesterday, which was all the while stop ping, or trying to run back or up some alley. The driver was accosted by an other darkey on the sidewalk thusly : "1 say, Jim, whar you gwyin wid dat cow ?" " Try in' to drive her in de woods," quoth Jim. " You's a fool, niggar. Dat cow's afraid to go 'way oil* in .de woods by it self." Jim looked like he wanted to throw a brick, but he didn't have time._ Eufaula News. A NEW MODE OF FAIIMINC.-A gentle man just arrived in Riohmond describes an amusing scene witnessed in Louisa county, near the South Anna river. In a field of land so poor that it would hard ly produce a bushel of corn to the acre, two little bony steers were yoked to a plough, and head of them, pulling lazily along, were five negroes, hitched up by means of what our informant calls J " shoulder traces." Another negro was holding the plow handles, and still an other driving the oxen. The next day it was noticeable that four women had re lieved the men, who were doubtless fa tigued by their labors at the plough. Ad joining this poor tract on either side were fine plantations suifering for want of la bor, and none could be procured. THE TREASURE.-Almansor, a rich and exalted Arabian, ate, drank, gamed, and indulged in every species of voluptuous dissipation. Once, when he was torment ed by that irksomeness, which is ever the follower of satiety, he was struck with the curious desire of visiting the sepulchre of his ancestors. He descend ed, and wandered between rows of rot ting bones, not with the solemn reflection that his own must, one day, be mixed with them, but with the idea of a volup tuary, that it was very cool and pleasant. Suddenly his eye was attracted by an in scription, which was half erased. It waB this: " Here is hidden a greater treasure than was ever possessed by Croesus.'* Almansor, whose wealth was not in a small degree exhausted, had the vault immediately opened, and found-a hand ful of dust, under which was a marble slab, containing these words : u Ere thou, deluded mortal, with daring hand, pro faned this vault, reigned here uninterrupt ed peace-a treasure which Croesus him self never possessed." -? ? * " A young lady, noted for her affected manners, recently entered the show-room of a fashionable milliner, with whom hvr family were acquainted, for the purpose of making some trifling purchases. On being asKed how her mother was, she re plied "She is not very well." "Ah! what is the matter with her?" "She fell down stairs and hurt her courtesy bender.'1 "Her what?" " Her courtesy bender." "Courtesy bender! What isthat?" inquired the milliner. M Why, her knee" was the reply. -*- e During the late war, coffee, sugar and flour were things of the past in Southern Texas! A soldier stayed all night at a house on the Nueces, and finding a large hard biscuit in his haversack, he gave it to a litt?o four year old boy playing be fore thc door. Half an hour afterwards he saw the boy with the biscuit on the ground and a coal of fire upon it. " What are you doing that for, sonny ?" he inquired. " Trying to make ihe plaguy thing poke its head out."-Southern Home Journal. FURNITURE ! FURNITURE ! OF ALL DESCRIPTIONS PLATT BROTHERS, (FORMERLY C. A.
