-t*****^^The Flight of Erna, ' *
The more we live, more briet'appear
0 Our life's Bucceecling stages? ~jf&^^
A day to childhood seems a year,
And years like passing-ag's.
The gladsome onrreht of our youth,
Ere passion yet disorders
Steals, lingering like a rive:: smooth,
Along its grassy borders.
But as the care-worn cheek 3 grow worn,
And sorrow's shafts fly thicker,
Ye stars, that measure life to man,
Why seem your courses'quicker ?
Why joys have lost their bloom add breath,
And life, itself, is vapid,
Why, as we reach the falls of death,
1 . Feel we its tide more ra pid ?
It may be strange?yet who would change
Time's course to slower speeding;
When one by one' onr friends havd gone,
- And left our bosom bleeding ?
Heaven gives our years .of fading strength,
Indemnifying fleetness.;
And those of youth, a seeming length,
Proportioned to their sweetness. ^
. -?
The Voiceless.
We count the broken lyres that rest
Where the sweet wailing singers slumber,
But o'er their silent sister's breast
The wild flowers who will drop to number.
A few can "ouch the magic string,
And noisy fame is proud to win them :
Alas! for those that never sing,
But die with all their music in them.
Nay, grieve not for the dead alone,
Whose song has told thiir sad story?
Weep for the voiceless who have known
The cross without the < rown of glory;
Nor where Leucadian breezes sweep
O'er Sappho's memory-haunted billow,
But where the glistening night dews weep
O'er nameless sorrow's churchyard pillow.
0, hearts that break and give no sign,
Save whitening lips and fading tresses,
Till death pours out his cordial wine,
Slow dropped from misery's crusLSng presses ;
If singing breath or ech jing chord
To every hidden pang were given,
What endless melodies were poured,
As sad as earth, as sv<eet us heaven !

Hoisting the Confederacy Flag.
On the 4th day of March, 1861, the
flag of the Confederated States of Ameri?
ca was hoisted on the flag-staff over the
Provisional Capitol, at Montgomery. A
large concourse of people was assembled,
and it was received with shouts and
cheers. Miss L. C. T. Tyler, one of the
Old Dominion, and a grand-daughter of
the venerable ex-President of the United
States, was selected to elevate the flag to
the summit of the flag-staff, on the Capi?
tol. The Montgomery Advertiser relates
the following incident in connection with
this matter:
When tho time arrived for raising the
banner, Miss Tyler steadily, and with
heart throbbing with patriotic emotion,
elevated the flag to the summit of the
staff, cannon thundered forth a salute, the
vast assemblage rent the air with shouts
of welcome, and the people of the South
had for the first time a view of the South?
ern flag. Ere tlero was time to take
one hasty glance at the national ensign,
the eyes of all were upturned to gaze at
what would perhaps at any time have at?
tracted unusual attention, but on this oc?
casion really seemed a Providential omen.
Scarcely had the first report from the sa?
lute died away, when a large and beauti?
fully defined circle of blue vapor rose slow?
ly over the assemblage of Southern spir?
its there assembled to vow allegiance to
the Southern banner, rested for many
seconds on a level with the flag of the
Confederate States, then gradually as?
cended until lost to tho gaze of the as?
sembled multitude. It was a most beau?
tiful and ouspicious omen, and thoso who
look with an eye of faith to the glorious
future of our Confederacy, could not but
believe that the same God that vouchafed
to the Christian Emperor the cross in the
heavens as a promise of victory, had this
day given to a 3roung nation, striving for
liberty, a divine auguiy of hope and du?
rability.

It "Won't Do.?It is curious how many
thousand things there are which won't do
to be done, upon this crazy planet of ours,
whereon we cat, sleep and get our din?
ners. For instance: It won't do to
plunge in a lawsuit, relying wholly on
the justice of your cause, and not equip?
ped beforehand with a brimming purse.
It won't do to twist a man's nose, or
tell him he lies, unless you arc perfectly
satisfied, he has not spunk enough to re?
sent it by blowing your brains out, or (if
you have no brains) cracking your skull.
It won't do, when riding in a 6tage
coach, to talk of another man, whom j-ou
have not seen, as being an "all-fired
scoundrel," tmtil you are absolutely sure
ho is not sitting before you.
It won't do to crack jokes on old maids
in the presence of unmarried ladies, who
have passed the age of forty.
It won't do for a man to bump his
head against a stone post, unless he con?
scientiously believes his head is the hard?
est. ,
It won't do for a chap to imagine a
girl is indifferent to him because she stu?
diously avoids him in company.
It won't do for a feller to imagine that
every young lady who smiles upon him is
" smitten." with his good looks.
It won't do, when in a hurry, to eat
soup with a two-pronged fork, or to catch
flies with a fish net.
It won't do for a man to fancy a lady
is in love with him because she treats
him civilly and politely on all occassion.
?-o
Do Good.?Thousands of men breathe,
move, and live?pas's off the stage of life,
and arc heard of no more. "Why ? They
do not a particle of good in the world,
and nono were blessed by them, none
could point to them as the instrument of
their redemption; not a word they spoke
could be recalled, and so they perish;
their light went out in darkness, and
they were not remembered more than the
insect of yesterday. "Will ye thus live
and die, 0! man immortal? Live for
something. Do good, and leave behind
you a monument of virtue that the storm
t&? time can never destroy. "Write your
name in kindness, love and mercy, on the
hearts of thousands you corns in contact
with year by year; you will never be for?
gotten.

The First Locomotive in America.?
According to the American Eailroad
Guide, the first locomotives in the Uni?
ted States were imported from England
in the fall of 1820 or the spring of 1830.
The first Stephenson locomotive ever im?
ported was the " Eobert Fulton," in 1831,
for the Mohawk and Hudson Eailroad.
The first locomotive built in this country
was constructed at tho West Point Foun?
dry, in 1830, for the South Carolina Eail?
road. The second was built for the same
place. The third was built by the same
establishment, in the spring of 1731, and
was the first locomotive ever run in the
State of New York. David Mathews,
who first run this engine, is still living in
Philadelphia, and is one of our oldest in?
ventors and locomotive engineers.

x In the game of life men most frequent?
ly play the knave, and women the deuce.
Woman.
The author of the following beautiful
tribute to the female character, (and it is
as truthful as beautiful,) deserves all
praise. Such articles are calculated not
only to exalt humanity, but to imbue the
mind with a due appreciation of the^ex
alted attributes of woman. Eead the ar?
ticle carefully, and become more tender
and thoughtful of the wants of " the weak?
er sex ":
Great, indeed, is the task assigned to
woman! Who can elevate its dignity 1
Not to make laws; not to lead armies;
not to govern empires; but to form those
by whom Jaws are made, armies led, and
empires governed; to guard against the
slightest bodily infirmity, the frail yet
spotless creature whoso, moral, no less
than physical being, must be derived from
her; to inspire those principles, to incul?
cate those virtues, to animato thoso sen?
timents which generations yet unciviliz?
ed will learn to bless; to soften firmness
into mercy, and chasten honour into re?
finement ; to exact generosity into vir?
tue ; by a soothing care to allay tho an?
guish of the body,|and the far worse an?
guish of the mind; by her tendorness to
disarm passion ; by her purity to triumph
over sense; to cheer the scholar under
his toil; to console the statesmanYor the
ingratitude of a mistaken people; to be
compensation for friends who are perfidi?
ous?for happiness that has passed away.
Such is her vocation.
The couch of the tortured"sufferer, the
prison of the deserted friend, the cross of
the rejected Saviour, these are theaters
on which her greatest triumphs have been
achieved. Such is her destiny: to visit
the forsaken, to tend the neglected when
monarchs abandon, when counsellors be?
tray, justice prosecutes, when brethren
and disciples flee, to remain unshaken
and unchanged, and to cxibit in this low?
er world a type of that love, [pure, con?
stant and ineffable, which in another we
arc taught to believe the test of virtue.
The lovliest Spot.?Man loves the
green, sunny spot of earth. A tradition
seems to lurk in the memory even of the
dw eller amidst bricks and mortar, which
inclines his soul with an undefined long?
ing toward Nature arrayed in her una?
dorned simplicity. There is a charm
about the idea of the greenwood shade
and a couch of velvet grass, which fas?
cinates the man in his childhood, and
grows; with him, as years increase, into
absolute fondness; as if the capacity for
the original nomado existence ho enjoy?
ed was destined by the unalterable laws
of hi-} constitution, never to be eradica?
ted. Hence, the flowers wo seo tended
with so much care in the squalid districts
of our large cities, and the arid patches,
with plants] piningLin the shade, cultiva?
ted with an assiduity which apologises
for many a grave error. But of all the
places which Providence, by tho instru?
mentality of an advanced degree of civil?
ization, has created for the comfort of
man, it is home.
A father came home from his business
at early evening, and took his little girl
upon his knee. After a few dovelike ca?
resses, she crept to his bosom, and fell
asleep. He carried her himself to her
chamber, and said, " Nellie would not
like to go to bed and not say her prayers."
Half opening her large blue eyes, she
dreamily articulated:
*" Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord?'
then adding, in a sweet murmur, "He
knows the rest," she sank on her pillow,
in His watchful care who " giveth His be?
loved sleep/'

EDITOR.
Newberry District being one of the richest Cotton
Districts in South Carolina, her people are large
consumers of every kind of merchandize. The
CONSERVATIST, therefore, furnishes one of the
best mediums in the State for advertisers, so far as
Newberry District is concerned, while it enjoys-a
fair circulation in the surrounding Districts. The
terms for inserting advertisements arc certainly as
reasonable as those of any other journal in the
country, especially when it is desired to advertise
by contract.
The CONSERVATIST numbers among its con?
tributors gentlemen of the first talent and soundest
political faith. With their assistance, the editor
will endeavor to make his journal an acceptable
and ever welcome family newspaper and fire-side
companion.
The political character of the paper is of the
strongest States Rights stamp. Relieving that the
Constitution under which tlie Confederacy of the
American States was formed, hat> been repeatedly
and grossly violated, and that "the Plantation
States" have been the only sufferers?that the
Union of these States is no longer a policy founded
on the principles of right and justice, but that the
bond of Union is " the cohesive power of public
plunder"?the proprietors prefer that their journal
shall rather seem to be a Southern Extremist than
nppear on unconditional advocate of the Union at
any price.
TERMS.?The paper will be regularly mailed to
subscribers out of the town of Newberry at tho fol?
lowing reasonable rates of subscription :
One copy, per year, - - $2.06
Three copies, - - -. - 6.00
Five copies, - 8.00
Ten copies, - 15.00
Twenty copies, - 25.00
?gy? The money upon these terms always to b
paid in advance.
No paper will be discontinued until all arrearages
are paid, and no paper mailed until the subscrip?
tion price is received; unless at the option of the
proprietors, when the circumstances call for a dif?
ferent course.
All business communications should be addressed
to the " Conscrvatist, Newberry, S. C." Commu?
nications intended for publication should be ad?
dressed to the "Editor of the Conscrvatist."

Price, $3 per Annum? In advance*
TN announcing the Thirty-second and Thirty-third
volumes of the Messenger, the publishers take
pleasure in acknowledging the unabated confidence
of the public and the press in a magazine which,
during so many years, has obtained the favor of
the Southern people. For more than a quarter of
a^entury^jthc Messeng'er has been the exponent of
Southern opinion, the medium of Southern genius,
the bold and outspoken advocate of Southern insti
tions. Far from abandoning the position hereto?
fore held in regard to the paramount question of
Slavery, it is prepared to take still higher ground.
It will maintain, not only that slavery is a social
and political blessing, but that its extension is a
necessary condition of its existence. Essentially a
Southern Magazine, the Messenger claims the right
to share the good or evil fortune of the South,
whether in the Union or out of the Union
With respect to its literary merits, the Messen?
ger must speak for itself. Its editorial columns
have been illustrated by the genius of Edgar A.
Poc and John It. Thompson, and its pages have
been adorned by many of the ablest essays, the
profoundest criticisms, the most brilliant sketches,
the best poetry, and the most popular novels of
the age. In verification of this statement, we need
but to instance "The Reveries of a Bachelor,"
" The Flush Times of Alabama," and ?.?Vcrnon
Grove ;" all of which were given to the readers of
the Messenger before they appeared in the form of
books. No pains will be spared to secure literary
materials quite as attractive as any that have ap?
peared in the past.

^koTICES OF ::HE PRESS.
The.^T*nScr is not 0Illy a Horary journal, in
the modern-sense of the word, but is political to
the extent of being ever ready to defend the
?South ami her institutions, without invading the
dom?fln of party politics, its contributors are
men of solid ability and established reputation,
and its contents arc usually a happy compromise
between the light literature of Northern Magazines
and the heavy and solid intellectual food of the
British Reviews.?New Orleans Crescent.
The contents arc various, livery; and some of
the papers exhibit thinking, on the part of the wri?
ter, and will require it from the reader. The new
editor presents himself gracefully to his reader in
his proper department, and opens his game of bat?
tle with enthusiasm.?Charleston Mercury.
John It. Thompson, Esq., is succeeded by a
young man of great talent, already known in liter?
ary circles as the author of "The Virginia Editor,"
"Mozis Addums Letters to Billy Ivins," ^'Blue
Eyes ami Bat tic wick," and many other articles
evincing talent and hurior. Uudcr the editorial
control of Dr. George W. Dagby. we. feel assured
that the Messenger will, at all times, sustain its
rank as one of the best periodicals in the country.
We congratulate the readers of the Messenger upon
the happy choice of its present editor by the pro?
prietors.? Virginia Echo.

The present critical state of European affairs will
render these publications unusually interesting during
tho forthcoming year. They will occupy a middlo
ground between the hastily written news-items, crudo
speculations, and Hying rumors of tho daily Journal,
and the ponderous Tome of tho future historian, writ?
ten after the living interest and excitement of the great
political events of the time shall have passed away.
It is to these Periodicals that readers must look for tho
only really intelligible and reliable history of current
events, and as such, in addition to tho well-established
literary, scienti?c, and' theological character, we urga
them upon the consideration of the reading public.
