To-Day juid To-Morron . High hopes, that burn like stars-? ublhnic, Go down the skies of Freedom; And true hearts perish in the time We bitterest uoe? 'em; Put never sit we down and say, "There's nothing left but sorrow;" We walk the wilderness to-day The Promised Land to-morrow. Our birds of song a-re silent now ? There are no flowers blooming; But life burns in the frozen bough, And Freedom's spring is coming; Ane Freedom's tide comes up always Though we may strand in sorrow, And our good hark -aground to-day, Shall tloat again to-morrow! Through all the long, drear nigh! oi'y.irs. The p. ople's cry ase? nded, And earth is wet with blood and te aw., Ere our meek BU?? ring's ended; The few shall not forever sway, The many toil in sorrow: The bars of Hell are strong t< -day, But Christ shall rise to-morrow. Though hearts brood o'er the past.--our eyes With sbl?ingfutures glisten; Lo! now the day bursts up the ; lars - Lean out your souls and listen! Thc world rolls freedom's radiant way And ripens with our sorrow Keep heart! who bears the cross to-dag Shall wear the crown to-morrow! Oh, Youth! flame earnest; still aspire With energies immortal; To many a heiven of desire Our yearning opes a portal; And though Agc wearies by the way, And hearts break in the furrow, We'll sow the golden" grain to-da^- _ , ." The harvest comes to-morro*! Build up heroic lives, and all Bo like tho sbeathen sabre, Readyto ?ash o?t a* Gotftj command- i Obi" Chivalry of Labor! Triumph and toil are twins-and aye Joy suns the clouds of sorrow; And 'tis the martyrdom to-day Brings victory to-morrow. WHEN AND WHERE DOES THE DAY BEGIN?-As wo travel Eastward, the day begins earlier; near the Equator, starlight appears an hour earlier for each thousand miles going East. When it is sun-rise in New York, the people of Europe have had sunlight for many hours, and the Californians are still in their beds dreaming. Evi dcnthy, the day has a first beginning, and at the Eastward. But how fal? and where? What are the people "who first see the light of Monday morning. It is the suu which brings tho day; where does he first bring Monday? If we could travel with him, we might find out. Let us suppose the case, i We will take an early start; at sun? rise, on Sunday morning, with the sun just at the point of peeping over : the horizon behind us; wo travel ] Westward. As we go, the people ; give us a Sunday greeting. We bring Sunday with us to Pittsburg, St. Louis, Salt Lake, San Francisco. At San Francisco, our faithful chrono- ; meter informs us that we have been on the tramp about five hours. But wc started on Sunday morning, and it is Sunday morning still. We go on, still on Sunday morning. Will this Sunday morning ever end? The . quiet Pacific knows very little of Sunday, or any other day, and our question scarcely receives au echo for reply. When we get to Yokohama, in Japan, or Shanghai, in China, we '< search for some Yankee, wide awake , in the early morning, and we aro told . for the first time that Monday has come. Everywhere now we bring Monday, and in twenty-four hours by ? tho chronometer, after starting, we are in New York again, and find the merchants taking down their shut? ters, and the Monday newspapers | telling us what has happened during j our absence.-Scientific American. A PICKLED BABY.-The Salt Lake Telegraph tells the following story: A little four-year old, living in a neighboring ward, has a habit of get? ting into babyhood scrapes every day. At one time he tips over the work box, and then come down ali the mul? tifarious "fixins" of the womenfolks; this done, he climbs into the wash? tub, gets wet, and bawls out furiously nntil -mamma runs to get her "darlin baby" out of the muss, which is no sooner done than the young rascal pulls the cat all round the room by the tail, making poor pussy mew in the most agonizing manner. But "mamma's little pet" got into a very bad serape, the other day, whereby he got badly pickled. Having made his way to the pantry, and observing a large jar of pickles, the little fel? low thought ho would have at least what big folks call a square meal, so ia went the head in the jar of pickles, but out the head couldn't get, and as a consequence, tho "darlin" set np a very lively and interesting noise, which attracted the frightened mo? ther, who found the young hopeful just in the rix described. Amidst screams and eries, the jar had to be broken before the baby's head could be extricated, which having been done, "little pickle," as he is now called, cast ely looks at his ma, and then at the pickles, exclaiming, "O, mamma, I'se never dowin to det pickled aden!" y An old hotel-keeper in Washington once posted on his dining-room door the following notice: "Members of Congress will go to the table first, and then the gentlemen. Rowdies and blackguards must not mix with Congressmen, as it is hard to tell one from 'tother." Since the enforcement of the Sun? day law in New York, some dealers put up the sign in their shops, on Saturday: "Load your pistols for Sunday." The Indianapolis paper carriers are going to publish periodically a hst of those who refuse to pay up. TrpocirAVHicAi, ERRORS.-A Now York letter writer thus sketcfees a fow typographical errors: Oue day last year. Mr. Greeley wrote an editorial entitled "William H. Seward." Imagiae his rage when L it came to him in proof headed "William the Third!"' Yetuuybody familiar with his chirography, if his inky jerks can be so designated, will j readily seo, not only .how such a mis- ; tako could be made, but how it pro- j bably would be. Again he wrote about "three men in, buckran," and i the prosaic type-setter got it "three naen in a back roon;. And this, notwithstanding 'die fact j that two-compositors of sagacity and 1 experience are hired at an extra sala- j ry, because they can rend bis copy. I But George Ripley hi s been fclse vic? tim of thc grossest outrages ka this | line. lu one of his vook notices, he j took the liberty ol' quoting from Shakspeare: "'Tis true, 'tis pity; and j pity 'tis, 'tis true." ? nd the wretch- . ed bungler got it, ""fis two, "tislifty; 'tisfifty- -'tis fifty-two." That is some worse than James F. Babcock's martyrdom, when he' wrote "is lhere no bairn in Gi? lead?" r,ud read, next morning, to his consternation, "Is there no barn in Guilford?' Mr. Crawford, a mem? ber of Parliament, recently sent to India tho message, "the news from America, favors thc holders," and it arrived th?re with the information that "news from America savors of soldiers!" -?-- ? THE AMERICAN EAGLE.-Mr. Clay? ton recently turned loose thc national bird in tho Alabama Legislature upon an educational hill. Said the j honorable gentleman: Mr. Speaker, look at the king of j the air, the neblest of birds, the ; eagle of the Alps; watch liku as he! stands erect, with his proud and ' noble form on sotie high poiut upon j the rock of Gibraltar, with a k en eye, peeping up at the sun. He looks j sleepy, drowsy, droopy, with the ; mist and dews of the morning cover? ing all over his frosty,form. Thus I ? ho is before tba break of day. At j 1 length the great god of the morning, i | as he shines through this mist, warms ! him up a little and he begins to feel j J like soaring upwards somewhat; and ? i he does r,oar and soar and soar away I ] up above the smoke and dust and j j clouds, kicking back at the thunder- | : mg noise and rampant confusion and 1 uproar going on below him. So will ; j it bo with Alabama if we adopt this ? , law. She will rise in intellect above j < all the surrounding trash and rub- 1 bish which lie3 piled up thick about j us. But fail io pass it, and you will j , have to send out of the State for > your intellect, and you. become j 1 "hewers of wood ami drawers of i ; water" to those who will educate. | ? A Cor.i> Sr.EHiu RIDE.-The Potts- ; ville Journal, of lest week, publishes , an account of a sleighing party of : ladies and gentlemen from St. Clair having been attacked on the monn- ; ; tain, as they were going from that , place to Mahony City, and robbed. The Journal said: It may Seem in- ; credible, but it is positively stated that the robbers stripped the occu? pants of the sleigh of their clothing, leaving nothing but the under-cloth? ing of the women and the Buffalo robes that were in the sleigh. Tho j robbers compelled them to turn back ; and return to St. Clair. We have ; since learned that the occupants of j the sleigh were a party of married men with women other than their ! wives, who were out for a good time "on the sly," thinking their spouses knew nothing of it; and that the I "highwaymen" were the wives of the i aforesaid gentlemen, who, havinggot" wind of the delinquency of their liege lords, had disguised themselves i and laid in wait for tho party, deter-1 mined by this means to avenge them selves and punish the offenders. The following is from Theodore Tilton's last letter tc the Independent: j "I have found Western landlords so sociable, so fond of company, so abundant in hospitality, as to insist on putting another man in the same bed with you to keep you in counte? nance. A friend of mine in Kansas once told me that he once asked for a room in a Missouri hotel, and the landlord replied: 'Yes; but a train arrives after midnight, and there may be another passenger to sleep in your bed.' 'Very well,' replied my friend, ! resignedly. Shortly after midnight, ! his door was opened, and in stepped J a tall, gaunt, grim bushwhacker, who j in a few minutes got into bed with | his trousers on. 'Stranger,' exclaim? ed the unprepossessing personage to tho first occupant, 'did you hear ? about that murder in .the bayou?** 'Yes,' was the reply. 'Well, I'm the 1 man what did the killin'. ' ! A good Methodist minister, out | West, who lived on a very small sa- j lary, was greatly troubled at one timo j to get his quarterly instalment. He had called on his steward a number! of times, but at each time he had been put oil' with some excuse. His wants at length became urgeut, and he went to the steward and told him he must have the money, as his family were suffering for the necessaries of life. "Money!" replied the steward, "you preach for money; I thought you preached for the good of souls." "Souls!" replied the minister, "I can't eat souls, and, if I eould, it would take a thousand auch as yours to make a siugle meal." The printer's motto-Be composed.

THEODORE STARK, Mavor. I J. S. MCMAHON. City Clerk. The Great American Blood Purifier. THE QUjWS DELIGHT ! mHE QUJ EN'S DELIGHT, the great _|_ American Alterative and Blood Puri? fier, is thc most perfect vegetablu com? pound of alteratives, tonics, diuretics and diaphoretics; making it the most effective invigorating, rejuvenating and blood cleansing cordial known to the world. In introducing this new and extraordi? nary medicine to the publ observation l< ads us to remark that too ... attention is paid to the "life of all flesh," thc blood. Many diseases, ami. too. many complaints, which have their origin in ti vitiated state of the blood, aro treated only as symptoms and results; whereas, if the remedy had been applied to enrich th? blood and ren? der it pure, both cause and effect would have been removed. The Queen's Delight is offered to the afflicted as a sure remedy for those diseases arising from an impure condition of thc blood, lt has a direct and specific action upon that fluid, and consequently renders tho blood pure. It is said, on high authority, that "man no sooner begins to live than ho begins to die, and that the characteristics of the living organism are ceaseless change and ceaseless waste." lt is obvious, therefore, to every reflecting mind, that unless the blood is pure, in supplying the waste tis? sues with material, it must be tho cause of innumerable ills and constitutional disor? ders, such as Scrofula, Rheumatism, He? patic Disorders, Consumption, Inflamma? tions, Fevers, fte. Life and health is only to be maintained by the circulation of pure arterial blood. We therefore advise every ono whose blood ia in the hast vitiated by indulgence or excess, and whose constitution is im? paired by disease and is suffering from Rheumatism, Liver Complaint, Consump? tion, Scrofula or King's Evil, Carbuncles, Roils, Itching Humor of the Skin, Erysi? pelas, Skin Diseases. Tetter, Roughness of the Skin, Dimples, Blotches, Panis in the Bones, old Ulcers, Syphilis and Svphilictic Sores, Indigestion, Inflammation of the Bladder and Kidneys, Pains in the Back, General Debility, and for all complaints arising from deficiency and poverty of blood, to use thc Queen's Delight. Females of dedicate constitution, suffi-r? ing from weakness and depression oi mind in consequence of those complaints which nature imposes at the period of change, have a pleasant and sure remedy in the Queen's Delight. Children whose fair and ruddy complex? ion gave early promis?; of health and beauty, bul too soon become blanched and ptl?- by some hereditary taint of the blood, will have the rich boon restored by using thc Queen's Delight. Tin: unacclimated and persons traveling into warm countries will lind the Queen's Delight a great, protection from all malari? ous affection and diseases which originale in a change of climate, diet ard life. The extraordinary and unprecedented cures performed by tho Queen's Delight. Compound is attracting the attention of i very om-, not only at home, but abroad. The merits ?d' this compound are being felt and appreciated everywhere. Hear what tin y say ?d' lt in New Voil:: "lt is a reme 1/ ?d' much importance and value, exerting an influence over all th?; secre? tions, which is unsurpassed by any other known alterative, lt is extensively Used in all the various forms of primary anil secondary syphilitic affections; also, in scrofulous, hepatic a nd cutaneous diseases, in which its use is followed by the most successful results."' Its properties as a remedy were first in? troduced to the notice of the profession by Dr. Tkos. Young Simons, of South Carolina, as early as 1828, as a valuable alterative re? medy in syphilitic affections, and others re? quiring use of mercury. Dr. Simons' state? ments have been endorsed and extended by Dr. A. Lopez, of Mobile, and Dr. H. li. Frost, of Charleston. From the reports in its favor, there seems no reason to doubt the efficacy ol this medicine in Secondary Syphilis, Scrofula, Cutaneous Diseases, Chronic Hepatic Affections and other com? plaints ben? fited by alterative medicines. .For salo wholesale and retail bv FISHER ft HE1N1TSH," Pee 27 Druggists, Columbia.

Some one will always be found ready to exhibit the ready-made gar? ments ami to receive orders from those who may wish to have work done neatly and promptly. The object of the Association is to fur? nish constant employment to those who, having been impoverished by the war, now depend on the needle for daily bread. Does not such an object commend itself to tho hearts of our citizens? Or must the anxious applicants for work be told that ourpeople prefer Northern-made garments, and that there is, therefore, no more work for limit?
