To watch and pray, to gladly take Love's crosses tor love's crowning sake; To love and grie e, to smile and weep, Her deepest thdught in silent keep. To teach and lead, to hope and trustHave trust betrayed-as woman must; To gently chide, to cheer and biess, And bear with patient tenderness Her burdens all, nor shrink, Bat brvely look ahead and say, "From dawn of life to setting sun Woman's work is never done. .

Under ft rmvernmenf. wliieh udmifa of no other distinction among citizens, than that which results from merit?the approbation of the constituted authorities must iuspire a just and noble pride?an honorable incentive to great and patriotic deeds He, whose distinguished good conduct entitles him to such approbation is a benefactor to his country, whom good men love, and the patriotic cherish- Those services which under a name illustrious, and co-eternal with 11. ? ?i 1?i? j-i? Lue gicttt waitus uu wiiose ubu&s mey were renderedj rise to the level of a nation's love and gratitude, because they fill the measure of the nation's honor. Under these impressions, the Legislature have directed unanb mously, that I present you '"the thanks of the people of South Carolina, for your brilliant victories and unequalled defence of New Orleans," and which I cannot better do, than by forwarding you a copy of their proceedings on that subject. These cannot be less acceptable, because-we have had time to form a just estimate of the intrinsic importance of the services you have performed. Ailthough it can add nothing to the high testimonials I have the honor to forward you, I beg leave to subjoin my personal admiration of your excellent good conduct, and to present you the homage of a respectful and friendly salutation. via H, Williams. .

Sib; The resolution of the Legislature of the State of South Carolina, endorsed under cover of your very friendly letter of the 22d of Dec. last^ was received by me last mail. The very flattering and hind manner, in which that respectable body, as well as yourself has been pleased to speak of my exertions in the late war with Great Britian and her Indian Allies, merits and receives the return of my sincere thanks. TJie approbation of his country is certainly the richest reward for the exertions, toils, and privations of a soldier and patriot. This approbation, so kindly expressed by the unanimous voice of the representation of that State which gave me birth, and to which, you, as the Uhiet 3lagistrate, are pleased add yours, heightens my gratification on'the present occasion towards a grateful country. The situtionof our common country at the time alluded to, called for the best exertions of myself and brave associates in arms. Their exertions ' were attended with extraordinary success ?but no more than may always be looked for, when our cause is just, and Heaven on our side. Whenever the independence of a nation is endangered by foreign invasion, "the highest military results' may be expected by a people, who like the brave Americans, will themselves to be free.

Why Raindrops Do Not Kill. Of course we all know that it would be an utter impossibility for storm clouds to form and rain to fall were it not for the forty odd miles of atmosphere that rises above our heads. But, supposing it were possible for human beings to exist in an atmosphere that only rose to a level with their mouths, and that storm cloud could form in the region outside such a low grade atmosphere, then every raindrop would prove as fatal to earthly creatures as if it were a steel bullet fired from a dynamite gun. All falling bodies, whether they be crystal raindrops or meteorites, fall with what philosophers term ' a uniform accelerated motion;" in other words, if a body be moving at a certian velocity at the expiration of co/iAnd frnin flip Tiptr 111 nine* nf it<a I VAJO .1VM, "-ft o j fall, it will be moving with twice that j velocity at the expiration of two sec-1 onds, gaining in speed at a uniform rate throughout the whole course of its fall- Careful experiments have shown that the rate per second at I I which bodies acquire velocity in falling through the air is thirty-two feet per second at the end of the first second from starting. At the end of the next second it is going at the rate of sixty-four feet per second, and so on through the whole time of falling. "Where the velocity is known the space through which the uodv has fallen may he ascertained by multiplying the velocity at that period by the number of seconds during which it has been falling and dividing the result by two. This rule applies, however, only to bodies falling through a vacuum; the resistance of our atmosphere materially retards raindrops, hailstones, aerolites and all other bodies which fall through it, and were it not for the resistance it presents, every rainstorm would be disastrous to the human race, as each drop would fall with a velocity great enough to penetrate the full length of a full grown man's body.?St. Louis Ixepublio. fimples AND Blotches ?RE EVIDENCE That the blood is wrong; and that nature is endeavoring to throw off the impurities.

We presume the opponents of the I dispensary law will appeal to the Supreme Court for a decision setting ' that law aside. Appeals to the Supreme Court have sometimes been successful in setting aside the laws or official acts of the administration, and wo fear, because of precedent, that the Court may sustain those who may resist the dispensary law. In case the Court does have good and lawful reason for interfering I with the enforcement of the dispen' sary act, we trust that the Governor ! may immediately convene tlie tjene| ral Assembly in extra session, to take such steps as may be necessary to carry out the will of the people. The people demand some legislation on the whiskey question, and if the Courts choose to annul the present law we hope for other and further enactments on the subject.
