FOR THE ERALD. To Edgefield's Stella. BY s. BBHCTELF SEBBOH. Pure one-but, pardon, ere my hasty pen Forget its tracings for my lovely kin, And, stealing pulses from my hurried breast, Forget its secret and unfold the rest. But leaving self-my secret longings too 1 chant in verse what others think of you. Angelic maid! most beav'nly of thy traiu! Thy lips drop nectar in each vocal strain. Of thee I sing, though others sung before The charms that link thee with ten thousands more. Thy chisl'd featr'es, from the touch of God, Transcend the crudeness of all meaner sod. ~But is this all? Dear votive truth replies That Cupid aims his arrows through thine eyes: Love-rolling orbs! whose fatal light imparts Unconscious heat to melt unconscious hearts. Like Chryseis fair thy flowing tresses fold, While silken eyebrows tend t' enrich the whole. Thus fashioned lovely from thy Maker's thought, To please who now think, and as others ought. Within thy breast, to animate thy frame, And fire thy soul with an angelic flame, He laid innate the fountain source of bliss For wounded hearts in other States, and this. And scorning Fashion, with her painted charms, He took your airy smoothness to his arms; For, fearing lest the artist's skillful brush Might leave some vein untaught to beauty's blush. Sat pleasing virtue on her potent throne Within thy heaving breast (but not alone); For all the Graces of this gentle queen Are ever is thy acts and connt'nance seen These handmaids swift from court their mis sion haste, Shoot thought-like through thy frame to paint thy face. Thus, nurtured one, thy rosy cheeks alone Nurse fatal ire from virtue's constant throne. The Gods have placed thee, and nurse thee still, And fates are held subsevient to thy will; But when thy soul fades to Elysian shades This heart will breathe no love to other maids. Newberry C. H., S. C., Jan. 19, 188. Our Visit to Newberry. A. B. Presbyterian. In the absence of the pastor, Rev. Mr. McClintock, it was our privilege, on last Sabbath morning and evening, to occupy his pulpit in the village of Newberry. The attendanee was not large, but encouraging. To us, at least, the occasion was one of consid erable interest. The church building, a neat and substantial one, is eligibly situated. Its dimensions are not very imposing, but sufficient, we presume, to accommodate some two hundred and fifty, or three hundred persons. We were pleased so learn that there is quite a hopeful spirit among the mem bers, and that the labors of their pas tor are highly appreciated, as they de serve to be. It is expected that the church will soon be in a position to apply for the whole of a minister's time. During our visit, we were very hos pitably entertained at the residence of Mr. J. N. Martin, a prominent mera her of the church. No trouble was spared to make us perfectly comfor table. Every thing about Mr. M. is on a large scale-a large house, largo rooms, large beds, and an une monly large heart ! We take this opportunity to extend to him and Mrs. M. our sincere thanks for their unaffected hospitality, which~we shall not soon forget. During this occasion, we had the pleasure of meeting Rev. Mr. Broad dus, pastor of the Baptist church, who referred very kindly to Drs. Bon ner, Lindsay, and Grier. He is a native of Virginia, and a relative, we believe, of the Rev. Dr. Broaddus, so favorably known to our people. We were also most agreeably surprised by a call from the Rev. Thomas C. Ligon, of the Presbyterian church, a graduate of Erskine College, in the class of 1861, which numbered some thirty-four. In consequence of the war, the exercises of the College were suspended before these young men had quite completed the curriculum; but when the trouble was over, the Board of Trustees, with great pro priety, conferred diplomas on all the surviving members of the class. Mr. Ligon is the highly efficient and ac ceptable pastor of two or three churches in Newberry Count.y. We wish him abundant success in his work of faith and labor of love. It gave us pleasure to observe that Col. Renwick was enjoying what the Roman poet calls viridis senectus-a green old age. Although he has nearly completed his three score and ten, his step is firm and elastic, giving promise of at least another decade. A daughter, who is a graduate of the Due West Female College, now Mrs. ,0., leads the church music. and leads it well. We have seldom heard a better voice. We were pleased to renew our ac quaintance with Mr. E. P. Chalmers, Clerk of the Court, and other friends, whom we should like to mention, did space permit. On M[onday morning, our courteous friend and host, Mr. Martin, laid us under additional obligations by a drive over town. He took us first to the Lutheran College, situated on a comn manding eminence,.from which could be seen, in the distance, the former residence of Gen. A. C. Garlington, Col. Simeon Fair, and others. The College building occupies the same ground as formerly, but, if our memn ory does not mislead us, is entirely new. The surroundings are very pic turesque and attractive. In the rear is a beautiful grove of what Long fellow calls "murmuring pine." A large number of young - trees have the cordial and unanimous support of the citizens. The Faculty consists of five, the Rev. Mr. Holland, a dis abled Confederate soldier, being Pres ident. Success to him, and the in stitution over which he presides ! In the course of our drive, we passed the lot on which once stood the elegant and hospitable mansion of Dr. McMorries, unfortunately de stroyed by fire. We also saw the for mer residence of Chancellor Johnstone, a name so familiar to the people of South Carolina. Upon the whole, we were much surprised to find that New berry was so large a town. The pop ulation is - estimated at twenty-five hundred ; and, on every hand, there are indications of growth and pros perity. Numerous buildings are go ing up, some of them large and iw posing. Two hotels are in process of erection, which, when completed, would be an ornament to Columbia or Charleston. Mrs. Mower, a member of the church in which we attemped to preach, is erecting a very large and handsome building on the Public Square, consisting of four rooms, all with iron fronts. Trade seems to be brisk, all the stores being thronged with customers. Mr. Martin is doing a fine business, his sales amounting to eight thousand dollars a month. But we must close before the pa tience of our readers is completely ex hausted. P. John, my dear, said she-tenderly, if you do not buy a bottle of Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup immediately, I will go home to my mother; I can't stand this coughing any longer. He bought a bottle. Substantial Indications of Pros perity. News and Courier. The annual circular of the Mercan tile Agency of Messrs. R. G. Dunn & Co., just issued, gives something more solid than the hope of better times. For seven years the annual reports were doleful enough. The number of failures in business kept increasing until from 4,069 in 1872 it reached 10,478 in 1878. But now this ex cellent business thermometer records the fact, which everybody admits, that the tide has turned and is running strongly in the opposite direction. The number of failures in 1879 was 3,820 less than during the previous year, and the amount of liabilities in volved declined from $234,383,132 to $98,149,052, by far the smallest amount since 1870. During the flush times of 1872, the year before the crash, the total amount of liabilities was $121,056,000. The circular speaks of the past year as "phenomenal," both in the extent and rapidity of its profits, resulting from the advance in values and the increased volume of trade, and in the decrease in losses fronm bad debts. The statistics of failures show that in the Western States only one trader in every 159 failed, as against one in every 100 in the Middle States; one in every 93 in the Southern States, and one in every 85 in the Eastern States; while in the Pacific States the failures have equalled -ne in every 45. The improvement is exhibited more clearly by recalling that in 1876 every sixty-ninth man succumbed ; in 1877 every seventy-third ; in 1878 every sixty-fourth, while for 1879 it was only every one hundred and fifth .ader who laid down his load. In an army of over 700,000 an improvement so marked would certainly beget a most hopeful confidence in its chances of success. The number of failures and the amounts of liabilities in the Southern States, for 1879 and 1878, are as follows : 1879. 1878. Virginia... si se,66 2 1,195,615 WetVa..... 27 124,000 40 369,011 N.

Dunn & Co. speak with great confidence of the future, the in dications all showing that the good times, so anxionsly looked for, are coming to stay. The figures presented by Messrs. Edward Russell & Co. in in their circular upon mercantile fail ures are also satisfactory. According to their statistics, the number of fail ures is very nearly one-third less than that for 1878, while the aggregate liabilities show the very remarkable reduction of fifty eight per cent., or consideraby more than one-half. Not since 1874 has the number been so small as it was last year, while the in debtedness upon which default was made has exceeded that of 1879 in every year since 1871. The most marked cases of improvement are in the large cities. The decrease in li abilities in New York was from forty. two and a half millions to thirteen and a quarter millions, or nearly seven ty-fve per cent.; in Boston, from eleven and a quarter to three and a half millions, or sixty-eight per cent.; in Philadelphia, from ten millions to three millions, seventy per cent. ; in Cincinnati, seven and a half millions to a little more than one million, eighty-five per cent. ; in Chicago, thirteen millions to two and a quarter millions, eigh ty-three per een t. Rarely has such a great change for the better taken place in so short a time. Don't. Don't speak angrily to a child. Don't kick a dog when he is asleep. Don't go back on the friends of your parents.

Of course all good Democrats hope to carry Illinois this year, but if we cannot carry it, it is well for us to hope that the Republicans will put forward men of reputation to be hon ored there, as is not always their hab it. This is preliminary to saying that General John B Hawley, now Assist ant Secretary of the Treasury, is a candidate for the Republican nomnina tion for Governor, and seems to be ahead in the race. He was appointed to his present position by Mr. Hayes, and confirmcd- by the Senate without Democratic opposition or reference, a very rare occurrence. Previously he had served three terms in Congress honorably. He is a courteous offieer and we shall be sorry to lose him as a Washingtonian. D)E M.

FOR THE LIERALD. About Cottonu. MEssRs. EDIOiRs: The cotton crop of 1879, as shown by the Bureau of Statisties, is about 250,000 bales less than 1878. Our exports for the year 1878 were about 3,400,000 bales, our home consumption about 1.600,000. It is fair to estimate that from the de pression in trade throughout the whole world there is a scareity of manufac ured goods; especially is this true in this country, from the fact that every actory, warehouse and country store here has been emptied of manufactured goods from increase of trade, arising rom unparallelled prosperity. You may estimate that we shall want 40 per cent. more cotton for home con umption than we did last year. This would require 640,000 bales more than we raised in the year 1878; add to ~his the 250,000 bales short in the ~rop of 1879, and you have a deficien y for export of a million bales. You may take into account the ex ensive exodus of' negro labor from the] ~otton producing States to the North estern States. Taking all things nto consideration, the farmers of the ~otton belt in the Southern States mayt ~xpect to see cotton sell very much < igher--at least 50 per cent.-above resent prices. China and India have een raising about as much cotton as he Southern States, say 5,000,000s >ales; but the population of China'l md India has grown so rapidly in the ast twenty years tnat they will be oipelied to stop raising cotton and aise provisions for their starving peo ~le. T'hus you see the cotton belt in ~ he Southern States will have to furI sh cotton for the wo.rld-say 12,- b k {u.000 bales.
