No Jewelled Ilcauty is njy lovo j
Yet in her earnest face
There's such a world of tenderness

In light and music twine;
And dear, O very dear to ,
Is this sweet love of taino?.

O joy ! to know there's one fond heart
1 Scats ever true to nie;
It sets mine leaping like a lyro,
In swcetcBt melody.
My soul upsprings a Deity,
To hear her voice divincl
And dear, 0 very dear to aid
Is this eweet love of miuci
If ever I have sighed for wealth,

And if I win Fame's victor wreath,
I'll twino it on her brow.

SELECTED STORY.
HMT "~AND~ SECOND^ LOVE.
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.

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.
All of which is respectfully submitted*.
