Tub Secretary Sellner h<ul begun to tasb the first spring of liappiDcss with his youth ful bride. There, union was not founded 01 that vague aud evanescent passion which of ten lives and dies in almost tho same mo ment?sympathy and esteem formed th< basis of their attachment. Time and ex peri cnce, witliout diminishing the ardor, ha< coufirmcd the permanence, of their inutua sentiments. It was long since they had dis covered that they wore formed for each other but want of fortune imposed the necessity o a tedious probation; till Scllnvr, by obtaining the patent for a place, found himself in pos session of an easy competence, and on tin following 8unday brought home in triumpl his long-betrothed brule. A succession ? ceremonious visits for some weeks engroswy ninny of those hoars thnt the young eouph would have devoted to each other. Hut tu soouer was this onerous duty fulfilled, thai they eagerly, escaped from the intrusion o society to their delicious solitude; and th< fine summer evenings were but too short foi plans and anticipations of future felicity.

Ouo evening, when Josephine hail played longer than usual, she suddenly complained of indisposition, but concealed it from her anxious husband ; naturally susceptibh of nervous complaints, the attention which she had lent to the music, and the emotion* it excited in her delicate frnine, had increased a slight indisposition to fever, ntid she was now evidently ill. A physician wa? called in, who so little anticipated dangci thai he promised a cure on tho morrow.? But after a night spent iu delirium, her dis order was pronounced a norvous fever, which completely baffled the efforts of medica skill, and on the ninth >lny was confessedly mortal. Josephine herself was perfectly sensible of her approaching dissolution, am] with mild resignation submitted to her fate. Addressing her husband, for the last time she exclaimed : "My dear Edward, Ifoaven can witness it is with unutterable regret tlint I depart from this fair world, where i have found with thee a state of supreme felicity but though I am no longer permitted tc live in those arms, doubt not thy faithful Josephine shall still hover round thee, ami as a guardian-angel encircle thee till wt meet again." She had scarcely uttcrci] those words when sho sunk on tier pillow and soon fell into a slumber, from which sin awoke no more; and when tho dock wni striking nine, it was observed that she lirnl breathed her last, 'ihe ngouies of Sellnci may bo more easily conceived than deserib ed : during somo days it npj>cared doubtful whether he would survive; and when, nftei a confinement of somo weeks, he was al length permitted to leave his clutml>cr, tin powers of youth seemed paralysed, his limb* wore enfeebled, his frame emaciated, and h< sunk into a state of stupor, from which h< was only to be roused by the bitterness o grief. To this poignant anguish succeeded a fixed melancholy ; a deep sorrow consecrated tho memory of his beloved: her apart roent remained precisely in the stato in which it lifed been left previous to her death: ?on the work table lay her unfinished task: the ham stood in its accustomed nook, un touched and silent; every night Sellnei went in a sortof pilgrimage to the sanctuary of his love, nnd takinrr his flute, hrenthe.1 forth, in deep plaintive tones,his fervent inspirations for the cherished shade, lie was thus standing in Josephine's apartment, lost in thought, when a broad gleam of moonlight fell on the opon window, ami from the neighboring tower the watchman proclaimed the ninth hour; at tliia moment, as if touched by sapio invisible spirit, the harp wax Jjisrd to warwriil to his flute in perfect unison. Thunderstruck at this prodigy,Seilnct suspended his flute, and tlie harp became silent; he then began, with deep emotions, Josephine's favorite air, when the harp resumed its melodious vibrations, thrilling with ectasy. At this conformation of hu hopes he sunk on the ground, no tongei doubting the presence of tbo beloved spirit and whilst he opened hi* arms to clasp hoi to his breast, he secraod to drink in Uu breath of spring, and a pale glimmering light flitted Wore his eyes. .< "1 know the* blessed spirit," eiclaimed tbo bewildered Sellnerj "thou didst promise to hover round my etepa, to encircle me with thy immorta love. Thou has redeemed thy word; it ii thy breath that glows on my lips; I fee myself surrounded by thy presenoc." Witt rapturous emotion* he snatched the flute and fhe harp again responded, hut gradualb its tones became softer, till the tnclodiou murmur* erased, and all again was silent?

Exhausted by this second trial, it *w with difllculty that Bcllner 0 tottered to Ma chamber, where the visiblo alteration in hi* appearance excited *o much i } alarm, that the poysician was again called in, who, with Borrow and disnmy, detocted ' " aggravated symptoms of the fever which ' L had proved *o fatal to Josephine; and *o raJ pid was it* progress that in two day* the I j patient's fate appeared inevitably. Sellner ?%v?wo uiuiv wiiijiubvu, miu revomod to tlip I " physician the secret of liifc late mysterious ?

Tlio prayer was grant- < ed. Sellner no sooner i vac lied tlio wellknown sjK?t than he gazed with ineffable 1 ' satisfaction on every object endeavud l?y af' factionatc remembrance. i The evening hour advanced: ho diiinia- ' soil his attendants, the physician alone re- ' maining in the apartment. When the clock < struck nine Scllnor's countciiauco was sud- ? denly illuiniued, the glow of hope and t pleasure (lushed his wan cheeks, and he pas- ? sionately exclaimed?"Josephine, greet me ' once more at parting, that i may overcome the pangs of death." At these words the harp breathed forth a strain of jubilee, a gud' den gleam of light waved round the dying inan, who, on beholding the sign, exclaimed, 1 ?"I come, I conic, to thee," and sunk senseI loss on the couch. It was in vain that the astonished physician hastened to his assistance, and lie too late discovered thntlife had 1 II yielded in the conflict. It was long before I " he could bring himself to devulge the mys-1, uviuw t-ircumsiance* which had preceded I ' Sellner'a dissolution ; but once, in a moment ' ! of confidence, he was insensibly led to make the detail to a lew intimate friends, and finally produced the harp, which he had ap- ' ' propriated to himself as a legacy from the dead. ! S^li it) , , One of the adventures of the lost hall is , . worth mention. The two principal actors . I in the scene belong to the aristocratic Fau- , I bourg St. (jiormnn. A certain Count* avail- J | ing himself of the marital privileges which . aristocratic customs permit, left his wife at , I home to go to the masked ball. The Couit- ( tess would have seen no evil in the simple act 4 of going to spend an hour or two at the ball, t s if she had been informed that he went there I to encounter a piquant actress, who, it was r reported had captivated her husband, and of ] . whom be had declared himself the fervent ] I admirer. ( ? The Countpio U 4 I intrigue, nnd sho therefore resolved to go to . the masked ball. To succeed in licr project, , , ft travcstic was indispensaMe. She took the , disguise of an elegant dandy. Hut, young , 5 and beautiful, the Countess would find it dif[ ficult to deceive any one under her masculine I disguise. She therefore employed a close . fitting mask, and a light clonk, which con- ] coaled all her person, but the foot and hot, torn of the pantaloon. Thus disguised it , . might pass for the fantasy of a boy, who ! wished to find at a hall a double pleasure in ! carrying on intrigues among his friends. The young man made quite a sensation, i . but he seemed desirous of finding somo one I in the assemblage, and guided by a confidant i . in his secret who was devoted to his projects, j ho soon found the handsome actress, ami ] . commenced the attack from under the mask. , She listened at first negligently, hut the con- i , fidunt took occasion to whisper in her car. j "That is a younger Russian I'rinceofeigh- j , teen years, handsome m <m? Mid finx mensely rich.' Notliing more was needed to make the j . wiicw foiget her word with tl*> count.? , , She manoeuvred so cunuingly that she managed to steal away, although she had prora! ised to sup with him, ami she went to the t Anmniu ?-, t.l-o , . ..... rt? i aianpl rince. t r Scarcely hotl they installed themselves " ; in a cabinet when soino one knocked at the r door. No response was made, but the door r ? opened and the Count appeared, fie had ? f followed them, and tho Countess know it ' > welt, for she had arranged everything so that " I ha should be put upon their trace. The mo- 1 I meat the knock waa heard at the door the 1 I young man hastened to replace his mask 1 ? and to cover his bead with the hood of his I domino. ( i Hie Count had made his appearance to ' > reoroach the fickle actress for her deception, 1 " who or. her part was sufficiently embarrass- { ? cd. 1 'But, sir/ said the young man, with a soft 1 u. *wo?4 voice, do you And in two 1 i friends, two ftbtan, wishing to sup together, o who ham subjects of importance tetalk 1 > about Y i-1 'You will try in *dn to impose an me, air,?

'Violence, ch i I hope you are satisfied!' \nd the mask and the hood fell, disclosing a iplendfd head of Wonde hair, and the Count, itupified, recognized the Countess.

Tt is desirable that the useless branches of our tree should bo lopped off. Hence we recommend that the O. W.

A a T?! - Iiwrwnt itnu ii men lyi visions cannot uo revived and put iu working order, to receive their charters, books money and property, and renorttlie saino to the O. W. P., who shall thereupon order the G.S. to strike such Divisions from the roll of Divisions composing the G. D. They rejoice to hear of the success of breth- i rcn McCully,Elliott and Towers in organiziug | new Divisions, they hope their success will < stimulate others to similar efforts. It is gratifying to know that so many of i I). G. W. P'a. liavo made reports ; it is the | beginning of greater usefulness by them, j The committee agree with the G. W. P. that i a D. G. \V. P. may constitute a new Division i out of the particular locality for which ho is < appointed. This locality is only an as- I signed Hold of labor, and if he cboses to labor bevoud it, it is all right and proper; liis authority extends throughout the State. The committee concur with the G. W. P.. in hoping that brother D. O. W. P. Austin will carry out his purpose of frequently visiting all the Divisions in GroeWule District, They hope all others will imitate his highly laudable exam pic. The distribution of tracts is a great and desirable means of diffusing temperance. The committee recommend to Subordinate Divisions to raise a monthly sum by contributions for tliis purpose. It is to be regretted that our self-sacirficing lecturer has been so little called for.? lie has been and still is ready to meet the c*JJ? of his brethren in every part of the State. Those who desire his services must address the llev. J. R. Pickett, Newberry, pay the jiostnge and furnish him with the means of reaching them free of expense, i either by Railroad or other means of transportation. Every Division ought to supply themselves with the new Ritual. Failing to do so is a great evidence of inattention to their true interests; for tlieir is no doubt it imparts a beauty and interest to the ceremonies of tho Order far beyond that of the old ! r?-. . ' 1 nuuai. The Committee regret that the war-worn sheet, the Temperance Advocate, has ceased forever; this regret is much diminished by the establishment of the South Carolina Temperance Standard. The Committee concur with the G. W. T. in the propriety of calling upon the ministers of the Gospel to aid us in the great work of Temperance and Prohibition. The Committee are pleased with the action of the Nationnl Division in all respects. They believe that tlie admission of and above 10, of ladies as visitors, tlie institution ; of Degrees, and the next meeting of tlie Nation Division at Charleston on tlie Wodneeday in June, 1855, will contribute greatly to the benefit of the Order in this State. On these various matters, so far as they call <br action from us, the committee recommended the adoption of the following resolution: 1. Resolved, That the Subordinate Divisions be recommended to take up contributions during each month for the purchase and distribution ot tracts. 2. Resolved, That each Subordinate Division furnish itself with copies of the new Ritual. 3. Resolved, That the G. W. P. be requested to invite all the ministers in this State to < preach sermons in favor of Temperance and < Prohibition. < 4. Resolved, That this Grand Division Authorizes the various Subordinate Divisions to confer the Degrees instituted by the National Division, and for that purpose direct* | theG. S. to procure the sets uf book* neces- t ?ary for this purpose froin the M. W.S., and i to enable him to act in this matter each l Subordinate Division wishing the Degrees > is directed to write to the O. 8., paying the I postage, and inclosing $5, within the next I two month*. 5.

Your Committee arc pained to observe 5omo discouraging features in the report before them, such as the tardiness of usUwiin. ste Divisions to make returns, and the very dow progress which^Miose Divisions have made as a whole, whose returns are emlxv died in the report of the G.

Tiir following resolutions offered by Bro. B. D. Townsend, of Bennettsvillo Division, No. 45, were adopted : 1. Jirtolved, That in the opinion of this Grand Division, the temperance reformation has reached another epoch, when, as heretofore, a forward movement is uecessary to secure part conquests, and future success. 2.

Jietolvetl, That in the opinion of this Grand Division, a bountiful supply of sujta-. ble tracts, adapted to our peculiar circuimtau ccs and latitude, to be published and put into the hands of our entire reading population, would most certainly and speedily acconini;.k *i>* .??i?i ? m *- * -** * j' iuii v?iv vivoiivu VMM* oiiicurci^r U jICVTH^ as we do that the arguments iu favor of legal prohibition, when pro^orly prosentedj are unanswerable, and irresistible. y-n 4.

Evoir Division of the Sons of Temperance in South Carolina, and such other temperance organizations or individuals, as may be pleased to unito with as, be earnestly invited to put into immediate requisition their best talents in the preparation of short temperance tracts, to be fbrwnrdcd with as little delay as possible to the Grand Worthy Patriarch at Sumpterville 8.
