A pilerim honry on hhj tilsome way, 'Neath a tropio sun on a burning day, In a desert dreary compelled to tay, No sancred shrino to enliven his view, No etiling oRsis refreshed with dew, No waters of Meribah, bright nnd pure. HItottering feet refused to bear, IiN trembling form overburdened with care, And parched by the d-sertP oppressive air, A victim to the Simoon's fatal breath, The wayfarer's being but few pulses bath, And his glazing eyes 1row dimmed in death. A mariner lone on a midnight sea, Fa#' The water-wraith shriviking its fierce via tocry, The mermaids chanting their wild lyrile, The lightnings blazing athwart the strange gloom. The thunder pealing like the knell of doom, No compass to guide hini, no star to illume. The tempest threat'ning his bark to sub merge, The keen blasts howling a funeral dirge, Keeping time to the billows' mournful surge, While the blackness of woe engulfs his soul, As the icy wnt ers over hin roll, - And the clutheen of death his form enfold. .The U iexpected Test. "James, I found you and Mr. Coop er together this morning, and as I en. tered the offiice I knew my name was upon Mr. Cooper' 1ips. Was it not so 1" Th3 young book -keeper trembled, and was sient. Thomas Tandrove and Albert Coop er were partners and proprietors of one of the heavi-st wholesale rattu. facturing est ablishments in the West, and their buitie.s was increasing dty by day. LLndrovo wits a New Yok.. er b birth, and Coop-r o"i- fjon Now H.upsire. James Worcester w-is&a youth of iiinet-to,n, from Wedt. ern Mas,achu.etts, auund having golit) out into a ie,w counotry with a le.ter of recom entdation to Lanlrove fron an old college-miute and chum of the lut ter, he wa,% at once emplo3ed, and thus far, duriug the IpIP4e of six months, had proved himself worthy and well qualified. The partnera warm-hearted, but quick and impulsive, had fallen into a uinunderstunding. They had, on the previou; evening, almost come to blows, aind were now its unhappy as it was possible for two well-meaning mnou to be, who had both bten very fooli-h. "Was it not so 1" repeated Land rove. "tIt was, sir." "And what did Mr. Cooper say of! mec? You need not be afraid to tell* James Worcester became oalm andI self possessed, tnough a trifle paler than usual. He knew that Mr. Land. rove had hilted him, that to him he owed his success, and that to him be must look for retaining his situa tion. And yet he resolved to be a man. "Mr. Landrove, you must excuse me." "Ah, did lie place you undetr the ban of secrecy 1'" "No, sir." "Then, what did ho say to you of me ?" "I cannot tell you, sir." "Odnnot 1 You mean you will. not." "As you please, sir." While Landrove wvas si'.ont with amazement at this deportment on the part of the creature of his bounty, the youth proceeded: "Mr. Laud rove, as God is my jui4go, I am your humble friend and most obodienit servant, an~d if I have a love more strong for otne of my employers than the other, that lovo is for yop. But, sir, even to please you, I cannot do a mean, unmanly thing. What erer Mr. Cooper may have said to me was said in Confidence. I know that I should not repeat hia words. I hold them as I would hold money that had boon piaced in my keeping." Mr. Landrove swore a big oath abd again demanded to know .what Mr. Cooper had said to him. But Wor cester was firm. Then the manufac. 'turer threatened discharge. "I came to you with an honor un. tarnished, air," said James, "and if I must leave you, I wish .to take the same priceless possession away. When onco I have betrayed a trust, I can no more have eonfJdebce even in myself." "Then yoa flatly refuse 1"' "I reftis to betray the private speech of Mr. Cooper, as I would re fuse to tell him, were he to ask me, what you have now said to me." "Very well ; you may now close up your accounts and pass your books over to Mr. Nickerson ; for-" and here Mr. Landrovi, with a fierce oath, swore tbAt the reticent youth should leave on to morrow. ' "I will go, air ; but 0 1 why cannot I see you and your partner reconciled before I go I You love him, and I can swear before heaven that no man i lives whom he loves better than ho loves you."1 Ltindrove would listen to no more. That very night these two very im. pulsive men met, and their ill-will was blown to the wind as quick as it had been engendered. Over a bottle of wine Landrove told hIk interview with young Woreeiter. "Of one thing I can assure you," aid Cooper, "he loves you truly and levotedly. I know it from the words which he spoke this morning, and rrom the warm tears which orept out apon his lashes as he gave them utter ance. His refusal to repeat my words was from principle." "Ah I" cried Landrove, "and from principle very seldom found in this oor world of ours. By my life, Al. ert, he will be worth his weight in gold to us I We can trust him." Mr. Nickerson took James Wor 3ester's books, as Landrove had threatened, but it was only that the younger book keeper might be trans. rorred into the inner room, or sanc tum, where he was installed as conaf dential agent and correspondent, whence, in time, he stopped forth in to a share of the businesu. This little sketch bears a deep and valuable lesson for those who have 3yes to see and hearts to understand. The Storm. On last Thursday night a tornado passed over portions of our County, destroying and damaging counsidera. ble property. Its general direction was north-westwardly, tut its course was as crooked as it well could be. The gin house and barn of Mr. Charles H1aselden were blown over, and badly damaged, the fencing and some houbes of Capt W. B. Evnins were badly injured, and at Mr. E..'J. Moody's plantation matturs were en. orally turned tops.y-turvy. His 3hinmey wa blown down, one or two hou.es . verturned, some sashes, win. dow blind&, douors, &c., of a culured mian named G,idbold was completely le<troyed by the -ame storm. From all accouits, the force of the wind while pas*ing was absolutely ap. palling. Trees as Jargo aa a .nlan's Pai.t were twi.,ted off but ton or fit ecn ttet .b-ve tho gouid, and the tops were blown many yard, before Abey foil,-n gentleflaiftt who heard the slorm n hile pa:sing through a roret of pines likened the noite to 'te roar of canuon.

On Thursday night last, S. T.

Major uist now submitted a mo. tion which he made with great difR. dence. He would move to strike out the wh, le panel and quasi the stray. He made it, not that the defendant knew anything personal about any of the jurymen, or was able to prove anything against the Marshal, but be. cause it was true that the defendant had the knowledge of a certain state of things that induced him to believe that the United Statti Mirshal was not indifferent and impartial in sum moning the talesmen. He then 'read the following motion and affidavit: United States of America, South Carolina Dittrit-United State. vs. John Rodger -Iuditument -for Conspiracy. And now, at this day, toswit, on the 22d day of April, 1872, comes the aforesaid John Rodger, by his attor. ney and the jurors aforesaid of the jury, impannelled being also sum moned come, and hereupon the said John Rodger ehallengeth the array of the said panel because he says the said United States Alarshal was not indifferent and impartial as to the Summoning of the additional panel of thirty jurors ordered by the said Dourt, because the said additional jirors was not selected from the by. tatnders, but did, upon consultation with others, and especially with reference to the prejudice against the said John Rodger, make up a list of jurors so understood by said United States Marshal to be prejudiced against the said John Rodger, and ,riis he is ready to verify.

And yet, neither the Wash-. ington editor, who tries to laugh, nor the Mobile one, who reproduces the rbort ion as funny, is worthy to tie the shoes of the Democratic sage and itatesman of Georgia, whom they wrould ridicule into their owlish wis thom. Mr. 8tephensa, like Aristides of old, is too sound a Democrat to suit cur degenerate Athenians. They tire of hearing him called "the just,' and they would banish him from their mecan and cowardly company. Mr. Stephens' true offebse is that he will not admit that'the Constitu tien of the United State. was mad. a "dead Issue" by the surrenkler of Lee's swoid at the end of a war waged before all the world "to save the JUion."

Mr. Greeley has tried hard to deny all the allegations bf the AImes, and thus far he has suoceoded very well Even if he did call upon the ex.Presi dent of the defunct C6nf0dersaey, where is the harm ? Mr., Davis is dertainly no worse than any-daher per. eon who railed his hand against tbefitg of his country.

Why he should be held up to storri and de testation any more than Gonoyal Long. street, or Stonewall Jackson,or Gene ral Lee, or hundreds of othdra, many of whom have deserted their old faith and come over to the party to whioh Mr. Greeley belongs, we are-at a loss to understand. We do not believe that Mr. Greeley took any great pains to seek out Mr. Davis in, order to bend the knee in ful*ome flattery, nor do we think lie would go out of his way to avoid speakiog to him, as one gentleman should speak to,another.

Air and sunshine. The human being is like a plant neither will thrive in the dark. Nor will either prosper in the ttil.Iht or in the shade. Show m.e ai'-mily that lives in a house heavily Ahaded by overhangiug boughs of trees, so that the suushino seldom or never falls upon any side of it, and I will show you people' who never enjoy good health. It will be observed that they are consumptive, or ecrofu. loUs, or have carried bones, or reform. ed joints, or the children are rachitic, and are continually bleeding from the noso and look like wilted cabbages. They are rot exactly wilted nor bltoebed but they have that bleached look preented by the unfortunate in. Mates of pri6ons, and the drooping appearince seen in plants that make a poor. show in growitig in dark, out of the way places. Vigor is altogether impossible in the absence of unshine. I know many people who think themselves intelligout, and who are filled with wio taws and sage proverbs as to the preservation of health, who live in darkened rooms. Bunshine fades the carpets and warp.s tbe furniture, they say ; but faded carpets are better than crooked spines and bowed legs and armsa. Young lilan Beware. The local editor of' an upper George newspaper admonishes some of his readers in the following man ner: Young men who anticipate matri. moniy had better beware . of "strong, niinded" women. A young friend of ours lifted the curtain and showred the ineide picture of matrimnonial bliss. He said, about four months ago, he was wedded to a woman older than he was. All was sunshine for as short time. But the reins were soon tight. coed, and on least Butaday, she went to the back door andl called him from a crowd of boys, using the following words, in a sharp tone :"hilt, you scamp, if you don't come in thiehoue 1and put.on yoaur olean- olothee I'll strap you till you can't sit down, you dirty hog.
