3%?L IOOWT ?Ti? i A JWF^KV (Original. Man's Progression. A remnant of man's former grandeur yefts left, A blank within his eh araoter to fill: Ono glorious principle through all hi? guilt shines forth, To prove that character immortal still. Progression, his primeval glory calls to mind, And proves a remnant of his former might; It is that principle which rulos his overy act, And bids hint "tripple o'er tho loftiest height." To paint the glory of his state, in Eden's grovo, No poet can.sumoient genius claim; Bo pure that lilies in their modesty would blush. If ranked in honor with his name. Hut ahl this period of parity how short ! How soon tho day-dream of his lifo was past! Tho fruit was plucked, and with it bitter know? ledge came: And o'er his lifo a withe? Jug gloom was cast. But let us tnrn away from such a sceno as this, And view the brightest pioture of his life; Wherein progression standcth forth with lovely grace, To bear him nobly ihrough this world's great strife. The labyrinths of art aro visited by bim, And gems of knowlodgo spring to light, Descending deep within tho bosom of the earth, Uer hidden beauties ho reveals to sight. Do solves the countless wonders of philosophy; He counts tho stars which light thc sky at even; And poering through the distant veil which hangs abovo, He tells to earth new. tales of Hoavcn. That progress which to us, is visible in man, Tho page of history o'erspreads with light; It finds a nome upon tint bosom of tho deep, And roams with equal grace upon tho moun? tain's height. It panses but a moment at that heavy stroke, Which by the ruthless hand of death is given, And then begins its onward Hight, to solve eter? nity; To writhe in pain--or reap the joyB ol Heaven! "HERMIT." ERSKINE COLLEGE, S. C., January ll, 1869. -o A YOUNG NEMESIS. Detectives' stories are rarely devoid oi interest, and when truthfulness is a promi? nent element of their matter, they acquire positive importance in the eyes of the gene? ral reader. The one told by an officer, in the New Orleans Picayune, and printed below, is no exception to tho rule. As a record of facts, giving prominence to thc keenness and courage of a woman, it will be fonnd worthy of perusal: In 1848, a circumstance occured in New Orleans which, at the time, created an ex? citement which affected tho entire popula? tion. An old merchant, highly connected, wealthy and of distinguished social posi? tion, one night mysteriously disappeared. His family were in infinite distress, and hit business in consequent disorder. He lefl his store at a late hour, ostensibly to gc borne; but, before going, contrary to hi; usual practice, he put in his pocket a large snm of money. His way led along Peten street, on the bank of the river, far dowe in the Third District of the city. His lif< may have been sacrificed, and his bodj thrown into the flood that rolled at his feet PoHoe regulations at that time wero bad and crimes of this description were not un frequently perpetrated. A little way bael from the street was a ruinous building, hali tumbling to decay, and inhabited by a num ber of people, men and women inured tc vice, and living by robbery. Among the not?s Mr. Conlay was knowi to possess was one for $500, with tho won "Canal" written on the back. Tho res wero of various denominations and with o ti' peculiar identity. Mr. I-and myself visited the residenc of the missing man, at the request of hi wife, and by her we were charged with th duty of tracing ont and bringing to justic his supposed murderers. She was a tall elegant-looking lady, of commanding pre Eonce and great culture. Tho wealth of he beauty and fine mind were inherited by he daughter, a young girl scarcely twentj The terrible bereavement had paralzyed th senses cf the mother, but had aroused th energy aud fire of tho young girl's nature More like a beautiful Nemesis than an ordi nary woman she appeared to us. As w entered the room she was in the act of cou soling her mother. The long black hai had escaped from its confinement an almost enveloped her person in its ebo tresses. The great, luminous eyes wer tearful, but flashing and full of Are. Th faoo was dark with the blood of her Spanis race, bat the Agare was queenly, slende and faultless as a model. Tho gloriou beauty of this young girl fascinated whil it bewildered you. Rate in its exquisit loveliness, the eye delighted to rest on tb willowy outline and graceful symmotrj Starting up as wo entered the room, she it quired nastily, almost fiercely, I though "Aro yon the detectives?" "We are," and I mentioned our names. "I must speak to you in private," sh said, and led the way to an adjoining aparl ment. "What do you think of tho matter?" sli asked, when out of hearing of her mothoi "As yet, an opinion would bo mere guest work," I replied. "Nevertheless, J have como to one. .have no donbt he has been murdered, an ""^Mittt the deed was committed somewhei ?ioar that old ruinous building by tho river. "Some such ide* has crossed my mini but there is no trace as yet which can len to proof of it." "Wo will find it, rest assured," she sait "abd to this end you must co-operate wit ino. And now listen to what I have to sa; To-night, at 12 o'clock, precisely, do yo two visit the old building. I will bo thor Ask for tho young woman who applied i night-fall to them for shelter. Let yoi object be, apparently, to arrest her." "Hut I do not understand!" "Bntyou will. I am going there at dus! disguised as a beggar girl. Ry tho time ye come, my information will bavo been cc lectod." She roso to her feet as she spok and now indeed she woro tho appearance < tho Nemesis I had likened her to at firs Beaut if oh. but rigid as fate, looked that se I de term i n ed face. - -Th* beautiful eye? had lost their softened lustre, and shone with a passionate light almost cruel. The'lips were pale, but rigid as iron, and the beau? tiful nostril dilated with* an expression of heart-consuming vengeance. "I will read tho guilty secret," she said, "if the criminal is there, however deep in his heart he may bury it." Strange os it may appear, I made no at? tempt to dissuade ber from ber purpose. I oould not. I folt as if tho beautiful crea? ture exercised over me a magnotic control. And with this understanding, we took our leave, to prepare for the night visit to the old house and its dangerous inhabitants. Those acquainted with tho city at that j period, can form some idea of the danger of the plot wo had formed. To ns it was a matter of daily occurrence. But for thc j young girl, inexperienced aud tenderly nur- ? tured, to thrust herself into the very house j of the unscrupulous and desperato wretches ! who were suspected of this crime, was sim? ply appalling. It would not do, however, to go to tho placo before tho hour appointed j for our coming, for that would defeat the object iu view. It was, therefore, with many a misgiving, and an uueasiness but poorly concealed, we bided our time. But WO determined to bo there at tho very mo- j mont, and tho clock was on tho stroke of mid-night, when wo knocked at tho door. Tho outside of the house gave no signs of lifo within. Tho shutters were securely fas? tened, and no ray of light penetrated tho darkness; but the muffled sound of voices reached our ears, until our knock hushed them to a whisper. There was a momentary hesitation, ns if of counseling together, and then the door was opened wide. It was a long, low room, dusty and brown from age. About a dozen persons were seated around, but every eye was turned to tho door. Two men had risen to their feet, and stood in uu attitude, which might mean defence, beforo tho fire-place; but tho object thnt attracted our attention most was a young girl sitting in the centre of tho apartment. Her face was dark as a gipsey's, and tiie loug hair hung loose on her shoul? ders. Her dress was of poor material, ragged and unclean. Paches and rents lind almost changed its hue and disguised its ? texture. Slio seemed too thinly clad for that cold night, and ber slender frame shivered, ns if from cold, as tho chill air from thc open door swept in. "What do you want?" was the stem question addressed to us by one of tho men at the fire. Beforo I had time to reply, the girl sprang to her feet, and spoke instead: "Arrest these mon!" Her voice was low. but the face, flashing in the light of the lire, was that of tho Nemesis I had seen that day. Tbero was a short, lierco struggle, and the meu were in our power. The girl then walked to a pince in the floor, aud, touching a concealed spring, raised a trap-door. Shu bado Mr. I. lift the box that lay in tho hid? ing-place. Tho lid was wreucbed off, and in it were the old merchant's money, papers and pocket-book. With tho money was found the bill, and tho word "Canal" writ ton across it. It was not long before tho men oonfessed their crime. The old mau bad been mur? dered and his body thrown in tho river. Tho daughter accomplished her mission. Sho had carried out her design, and (raced to their hiding-place, the proofs of the mur? derer's crime. It is useless to realize what followed. Long years have fled siuce then, and the young Nemesis is yet among the living. Beautiful still, there aro many hearts to grow glad at her smile, and share with her the joya of tho homo she charms. But this strange incident in her life will never bo effaced from her mind, or fade from tho memory of those who saw hor then. To Blacksmiths and Wheelwrights. CITY CLEHK'B OFFICE, COLUMBIA.

Jan 5 AYER 'S CHERRY PECTORAL, For Disease* af thc Throat and Lungs, such as Coughs, Colds, Whooping Cough, Bron? chitis, Asthma ana Consumption. PROBABLY never beforo in the whole history of medicine, hal anything won BO widely and BO deeply upon tho confidence of mankind, as thia excellent remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through a long soricB of years, and among most of tho races of mon, it has risen higher andbighor in their estimation, aa it has become better known. Ita uniform oharaotcr and power to euro the vari? ous affections of the lungs and throat, havo mado j it known as a reliable protector against them. While adapted to milder forms of diseaso and to young children, it is at the aamo time the most effectual remedy that can bo given fur incipient consumption, and tho dangerons affections of tho throat and lungs. As a provision against sudden attacks of CROUP, it should bo kept on hand in every family; and, indeed, as all aro aomotimca subject to collin ?ind coughs, all should bo provided with this antidoto tor them. Although settled CONSUMPTION is thought incurable, still great numbers of cases where tho disoaso seemed settled have been completely cured, and tho patient restored to sound hoalth hy the CHERRY PECTORAL. So complete is its mastery over tho disorders of the lungs and throat, that the most obstinate of them yield to it. When nothing elso could roach them, under tho CHERRY PECTORAL they Buhside and disap? pear. SINGERS ?nd PUBLIC SPEAKERS find great protection from it. j ASTHMA is always relieved and often wholly I cured by it. BRONCHITIS is generally cured by taking tho CHERRY PECTORAL in small andfrennent doses. So generally aro ita virtues known that wo need not publish tho certificates of them here; or do moro than assure the public that its equalities aro fullv maintained.
