A L I F E L E A F. BY Ss WILLIAM VAN NAMEE. I was vory happy when Herbert Clare told mo that he loved me, and asked me to become his wife?very happy as I dreamed of the future before usj for I loved him, and thought that, nothing but death c m Id change cither of tt&. . ll<4 Was no handsome, so graceful, so talcrited, so witty, and so unaffected iu,?hj& manrieu } arid 1 was so plain, so retiring, so unattractive, that I often wondered how he came to 1o.vu. ulo- -lL?..\>^u*-t.lvo fi*?t-JM??w-I-i??<t cver hud, the first man -who i hud ever kissed mo since my father had been laid ttWay to rest in tho grave yard ; and I invested him with almost hciyonly attributes, and worshiped him us tho heathens iu their blindness worship their idols.> I was'living with my aunt; for I was an orphau and a dependent. My life hal been a very quiet and uneventful one: for Murston was an inland village, some distance from cither railroad or stage route. Herbert Clare had conic up from tho city to visit his uuC-je, who lived iu the large white house just opposite tho brick church. He had not been well for many months, mid his physi cian had recommended country air and country living; and thus it was he had come to honor our quiet little village with his presence. Tho first time I met him was at the siugiug school. He came with his cousin, Nettie Clare. Sho and I had always been intimate friends; and before the evening was over Her bert and I were chatting as pleasantly as old acquaintances. From this evening \vc were much to-gother. lie brought mo books nud flowers, and taught me to play on tho guitar. 'My mother had left me;' and I was very happy?oh 1 so hap py. Scjucely two mouths had gouo by before ho told, me how much he loved me, and asked mo to be his wife. Wo were sitting on the porch at tho timo?tlu fragrance of the honey sueklo floating around us: the pulo sweet moou looking down upon us j and my heart beat, Very fasl as I laid my hands in his and promised to bo his wife lie folded mc to his bosom, and kissed mo over and over again; and that night I could not .sleep for the thoughts that kept tripping through my excited brain. When September came he loft me. Oh ! 1 never can forget that night we parted. 1 thought my heart would break. I was young then?only sixteen?and it scorned to mc as if I could not let him go. But he promised to writo vory often; and, after kissing utc half a dozen times, ho gently put mo from him, and sprangTnto the wagon that was waiting for him and wits driven oft'. I threw myself upou the sofa and wept violently. My nuut was a kind, considerate woman, and loft mc to my self, knowing full well that such violent grief as I manifested must soon expend itself. And so it did. For half an hour, perhaps, I lay thorc sobbing violently. Then I nroso and bathed my swollen eyes in cold water, and went to my accustomed duties. I did not miss Horbort as much as I sup posed I would. To bo suro 1 had tho buoks and niusio ho left mc, with which to while away my lcisuro time; nud Nettie Clare was with mo much. Butsomo way wo did speak of Herbert ofton. Sho did not know that wo wore engaged; no one know it?not oven my aunt. I know not what they suspected, but they know nothing to a cortaiuty; nnd I kept ;ny secret as closely guarded in my own bosom as over a jailor guards his prisoner. Weeks went by. I looked for a letter ah most daily; and as day after day passed and nolio came, I grew Bad, very quiet,' but said nothing. At last a letter came?a long loviijg affectionate letter, pleading business as an cx> cuso for not writing before. I answered that' lottor the very day it reached me. What I WroteT know not; I only know I poured my wboio guileless heart out upon the paper. 1 told him all my hopes and fears?all my love for hint* Would that I had never written it*, I waited nUkiously for an answer; but none ever came. Ouc bright May morning* when the sun shone warmly as a Jdly sun, and tho purfumcs of early flowers made the air fragrant, Nettie Claro came to our bcuie; and, as wo sat in the sunshine on the porch, she said, "I had u letter from Herbort last night.? He is coining hero in a few weeks." I looked up into her face with eager joy. I wonder if she noticed how I clutched at her words, how I trembled as I said, "Did he scud any word to mo '/" ?'Yes," she replied. 'Tic told me to ask you if you still remembered tiie flirtation you and he had last summer; aud ho said ho hoped you and his bride would be the best of friends." I did not fuint?1 did not scream ; but oh ! such a death-like feeliug stole over mo. I felt tho blood all leave my faceand it seemed frozen in my veins. But my voice was per fectly firm, but hollow and choked--as 1 said: "Then be is married ? I did not know of it before. Of course I remember the-flirtation; how could I forgetJt ? It was the first I ever carried on ; and I will always remember it." >Ah ! yes; Herbert was married a mouth ago. He married one of the richest belles in Boston. lie had been engaged to her ever since he left college." And this was the man that 1 had loved, had' looked up to with idolatrous affection ; this was the man to whom I had laid bare my heart. Ho had only boon amusing himself, while 1' I had been so deeply, fearfully in cafucat. lie laughed iii private over my simplicity andjnjtej leservo. Oh I how 1 loiftlicd -him, how I drW pjpnd hinv,. 1??*vrI-hnt^.rayodf for hr?Villg" b CO 11 so easily duped. Ten ye??rs was udd<*J-t? w, lifc that night. Before, I had been a simple, artless, trusti.;; child jfiow I was u woman, a suspecting, cautious, nnd prudent woman. Oh I bow I watched the dreams, tho hopes of former days depart, ^\'ith u^bitter, chilling smile I looked upon the withered, scentless flower of love. Not a tear did I shod ; no, not one. 1 was too deeply stung for tears. 1 had been insulted and wronged ; und all the dignity iff my nature was aroused. I determined that Herbert (Mare never should know that I had felt his treachery j aud when ho camo with his beautiful, wealthy bride, 1 was among the first to call. 1. was the first to propose a party for her, and I was the gayest, tho wildest of tho girls ut every gath ering. 1 laughed and waltzed with him, as if we had never bcc"h more to each other than wo were then. I think he felt a little piqued to find mo mourning over faded dreams, or slowly wasting away with a broken heart. But he was disappointed; for no one bad so little the ap pearance of a broken heart as I. 1 had found the idol I had worshipped as gold, pure, una dulterated gold, nothing but clay ; attd I had enst it fron; mo as no longor worthy of my re gard and devotion. My friends wondered at my sudd< u gayety aud life ; for I had always been quiet and do mestic. But I let them wonder without deign ing to notice their surprise and astonishment, as T proposed" one amusement after another. And so the summer went by?that terrible summer !?what a series of struggles and vic tories I went through. But I have never re gretted that all happened that did; for 1 learned much. Bitter though tho lessons were, they did mc good ; they will never be forgot ten. Soon after Herbert Clare and bis wife left, Mr. Cray son, who had Ibr years been our pas tor, died ; nnd sincerely W*o mourned for him, for he had beeu a kind and faithful worker in the Lord's vineyard, and we all loved him and looked up to hini with veneration. h'or sonic weeks bis place remained unfilled it seemed as if no one could ever quite take his piace. Hut at length (ieurge Sanders, a young man who had just completed his studies, applied for tho vacancy. lie came and preached in our village two Sundays ; und the deacons put their heads together, and conclud ed they could not do hotter than to give him a call. Ho was consequently installed as pastor of tho brick church. But what was ho to do with the parsonage? ho had no family. He was an orphan, and un married. It seemed a pity to close it up ; aud lot the weeds run riot in the neat garden. But it was done; and in some unaccountable way it was arranged that the new minister should board with my aunt, her house being conven ient to tho church, she having plenty of room to spare. At first I d-id not like the idea; and I did very little to make it pleasant for George Sau dcrs at our house. But he was so gentle, so I kin't, so ?nobstrusivo iu Iiis manners that one cou.^d not long.vithstaud his friendly overtures aqd-jn less than.throe months wc wor?.the best ] of friends. f^had always bcon fond of books, nlwnysde sirt-U to learn ; but our village Bchool had never Kitted of n very learned mastor, and, my ad voltages had been Ihsited. But now a new worjd was open to me?tho world of knowl "So^a. George Sanders generously undortook theftask. of instructor j and I rapidly improved uijrv,r bis tuition. ,;ff cannot describe the pleasure I. found in lcimning. I now bolievc that one-half of that ploijjsUrc was owing to the instructor I had. 1 never knew exactly how it came about but bofdre, George Sanders jiad been with us two yea ib, I had proniifccd to become his wifo I knciv that he loved me j and I felt that I loved, trivw, purely lovCd for the first timo. I renl izci|how shallow and strcngthlcsn had been my ifajj $y for. Herbert Cmarc f and I placed my hallet in that of Goorgo Sauders, and. promised to love, honor, and oboy with a deep, full j hi.jigiuess at inj heart. ? The parsonage is open again; the garden is free, from from weeds; the flowers sweeten the frc.jU spring nir with their perfume; and the May sun smiles on our happy hearts. f VARIO? S. T I I IS ,(p,arleston District Meeting V - 1 v ?8 Iff. E. CHURCH, SOUTH, IIi:Li) AT IKANUEuURG, S. C. MAY 21st, 1808. KJtop D. S. Boggctt, of Virginia, presided meeting ; and it was u very interesting j Tis ? ubluge of delegates from tho various Cir in tljis Church District* '^^V publish, by request, the Reports of tho "^M^ji{r^i^h>cg^i'^t^. moot Ugj^ - ' W ' n'Kroiur on BoupAi'iox. T CommitU'o to whom was referred the subject of Education, beg respectfully to re port, that in looking over the scope of country that lies within.tho boundaries of our District, they observe with .sadness of heart a lamenta ble neglect of the intellectual cultivation of I tho young, in whom arc all the hopes of the t Church, and of tbo future progress of our pco j plo. This neglect is occasioned not so much j from any want of appreciation of the impor tance of the subject as by tho sad calamities that have coino upon our people, by which i they have been so impoverished, that in many hittanoes they require for the subsistancc of their families the productive labor of thoir children, who should be iu our institutions of learning, preparing themselves for future use fulness. Tho few who, in tho country, could pay tuition arc not sufficient to support a school. Very few arc able to scud their chil dren front home, incurring the expense not on ly of tuition but also tho heavier expense of board. The result of all is, that there arc few schools in the country and our established in stitutions are languishing for the want of pa tron ago. Tho importance of education cannot be over estimated. Next to the power of the grace of God, the cultivation of the mind is the most I" fent agent on earth, and man only attains to t tho highest state of civilization and acme of j his glory, when these two aro engaged in the I highest degree your committee would impress upon this Conference the necessity of denomi national education. Religion and education should never be separated, man was made to glorify Qod. All holy intelligences are actua ted only by this motive, the glory of (lod and education is only potent good, it only fulfils the grand purposes oftho Creator, when under the influence und direction of the graco of (lud. This union can only bo secured by Denominational Schools. From these aspects of the subject your committee kuow not that they can recommend anything better than that we encourage our people to use every eflort by economy, and by labor to educate thoir chil dren, and that we always advise that they patronize our own schools where we endeavor to'cultivate both mind and heart. Woflord College sustains an important re lation to the church (it large, and especially to tho Southern Conference. It offers to the world the advantages of a liberal education in connection with the purest religious influences of tbo gospel. The grade of scholarship main tained by it. together with the distinguished who compose its faculty, gives it along side of I tht! oldest institutions of tho land. To the church directly it proposes in addition to a sound education, tho religious training of their suns during the trying period of collegiate life. To the South Carolina Conference it is tho school of the prophets, from which wc look for the future E'isha, in our Israel. Invested with this triple importance} sound education, re ligious training and theological instruction for candidates of tho ministry, Woflbrd Collogc. present claims to the patronage of tho country equalled by none. And'if tho radical constitu tion of this State shall put .its educational ma chinery to. work,as it is likely to do, Woflbrd will become au important place with, all who desire tho quiet education of their soils without the forced recognition of negro-equality; The devastations of the war have destroyed the endowmont fund of tho College and as tho CollcgO is called upon to perform much charity scryico, tho. tuition foes are greatly inade quate to meet the wants of tho professors. A support is all these noble men ask in the pre-; cent condition of the country, 'they do not de mand luxurious living. The question is what can be done for the relief of the Institution? Shall we reduce the number of its prof e sore? Then where shall this retrenchment begin? Can we fill the place of tho great and good Dr. Shipp. Who of all scholars of the country would be willing to take the responsibilities and tho duties of tho presidency for the starv ing salary on which ho is living? Can the venerable professors of language bo spared for the department of ancient literature Con nected as he has been so long with Methodist Colleges, it would seem like taking a vessel consecrated to the temple sorvico, and exposing it to the common uses of a worldly life, to soe David Duncan in the chair of any secular col logo. In the accomplished Duprce, elegant manucrs and christain simplicity blend so beautifully in tho scholor, that wo cannot spare him as a model to the-young men of our coun try and church. We aro not yet in a .condition to dispense with the eloquence uf Dr. Smith in tho Chair and Pulpit. But least of all can wc afford to looso tho ripe scholarship nnd towering geuimi of Carlisle. "What-1lion can be done ? Wof ford must be sustained in whole or abandoned entirely. The South Carolina Conference has resolved that the College is worthy of tho special as-' sistanco of the Church collections. Eight; hundred and twenty-five dollars have been as sessed to Charleston District for this purpose. *Wiom..,Y*t^iiltV? been Uolm? ^v^^ Geld, and from the slowness of people to^e^ spond to tho call for made at our meetiug bust year, it is thought to depend upon tho plan of public collections in raising the amount. Thorfore be it Ilc.-o/eed, That wo regard Woflbrd Collego with increasing interest, and recommend the suspension at present of the , Woflbrd College Association. Jlvsqhcd, That we will urge upon people tho importance of sustaining the 'College at least with all of our patronage. fiesplvcd, That wc will endeavor to raise the amount due. from our several charges by the last ot August .?b \t. All of which is respectfully submitted. REPORT O.V CHURCH LITERATURE. . Tho committco to whom was referred tho subjects of church literature, unanimously con cur in tho opinion, that it is a matter of grave importance, not only to the advancement, but also to the very oxistonco of tho church, se cond only to the ministry of tho word, as an agency in propagating tho doctrines of the gospel and in spreading scriptural holiucss over these lands. Wb believe that the Biblo con tains all things necessary to salvation, aud should bo carefully read nnd prajorfully studied above all other books, for ''All scripture is given by inspiration of God, nnd is profitable for doctrine; for reproof, for eorroction, for. in struction in righteousness; there is, notwith standing, some means wanting, by which its doctrines may be illustrated, its reproofs ad iniiiistercd, it* corrections applied, und its in structions imparted and enforced, so as to pro duce holiness and uprightness in tho heart und life of the Uhregenerate and, so as tho l*The man of Cod may bo perfect, thoroughly fur* nibbed unto every good word nnd work." It is true, that this want is in u very great meas ure supplied by the preaching of the gospel, "for it hath pleased Cod by tho foolishness of preaching to save some." Yet to facilitate its blessed instructions, and the accomplishment of its sublime ends, wo regard a sanctified literature almost, if if not altogether, indispen sable. We are happy to state that wo have such tin agency within our midst. Wo have had bdoks and periodicals within the reach of all, and they may bo, by proper exorlion, scat tered broadcast over all tho land. Kor a list of our books published, wc would refer you to the general catalogue sent out by the book agent at Nashville Tennessee We heartily recommend the Southern Chris taiU Advocate, our own Conference organ, pub lished at Maeon, Ca., as highly worthy of our patronage. It ought to be in ovcry family, destined as it is to do a good" work wherever it circulates, and its best fiiends, and most ar dent lovers, are thoso who have been its' mo?t* constant patrons. Tho Nashville Christin? Advocate, and the ]!( '<<imorc Episcopal Me thodist also, arc papers that wc would bring to your favorab.o notice. There is also a religious family paper called by tho Rev. Sidi Hr Brnw?, n. wcmUetf^ of t South Carolina'ConfefciicC) tfmcn thougn ti not influence and interesting inforhiatibn. Wo therefore recommend its circulation among OUT people. Nor arc tho children, neglected in this de portment of our ppcratioos. Wo have the Sunday School Visitor, a neat, semi-montlilj," especially designed for, and adapted to thb watita of tho children. It ought to be in eY6r? family and in nil our i Sunday Schools. Thcrfc' in, also, BurJces Weekly for Boys and Girl?1, which, though not Btrickly a church paper, of a highly religious tone admirably adapted to tho intellectual and moral capacities of tho young", with whom it is a great favoritb. -; In conclusion wo would' urge oUf brethren, both of the ministry and laity, to renewed and in croaking efforts for the circulation of our puh licatious among the poople.
