These am shams which moat surely attaaat the high as wall as the hdmble. Agalnet theee all the finery sad aim In tha world fok in-' W insignificance. We aball illustrate this by an aaesdote: A aartaia gaatlcanaa whose health was rapidly dooMning. was advised by bla physicians to try ehaage of climate ae a Means for reoovering Ins heakn. Bin daughters feared that those who bad seotires entirely mercenary would not pay him that attention which he might expect from those who, from duty and affection united, would foal the greatest pleasure la Q.'.&istering to hie anas and oomfort. Thoy therefore reeolved to aceompaay him. They proved that thie was not a spirit of dissipation and gaiety that led them ?o u?u, for they vera sot to be k?b In any of tk* gay and fashionable circle*; they were nerer oat of their father'e company, and never stirred from home, sxoept to attend him. either to take the air or drink the waters. In a word, they lived a reclnee life in the midst of a town, then the resort of the most fashionable personages of Europe. This exemplary attention to their fathor procured the three amiable sisters the admirstion of all the English at B , and waa the cause of their elevation to that raak in life to which their merits gave them so just a title. They were all married to noblemen?one to the Earl of B??, another to the Duke of II?, and after to the Harquie of D , and a third to the Duke of K ; and it is bat justice to say that tlicy refleeted honor on their rank, rather than derived anything from it. The Morning Dram. A practising lawyer, now one of the best examples of a wise Christian judge, many years ago, while busily pursuing the practice of his profession, contracted the ugly and unmanageable disease, "chill and fever," which infests the swamps and streams of our eonntry. Various remedies were suggested and tried, but all to no purpose. At length his physician, who had no temperance scruple*, Advised the regular nee of a " morning dram," as the only possible means of eradicating the disease. His patient was a man of temperate habits, but having no fear that he would be in any danger from the prescription, immediately procured the necessary ingredients for his morning dram. It was well flavored, and for a fortnight the prescription was strictly attended to. Perhaps it became more and more palatable every morning, without the patient pereeiving it About the expiration of LliuL time, one morning he jumped out of bed, and with most inordinate haste, commenced drosing as if his house was on fire. No starting cry was, however, heard, and yet it would have been amusing to have seen the urgent hurry he manifested in getting on his pants. Quick as thought his cravat was adjusted, end his comb and brush were applied in hot haste in arranging his hair.? * What," skid he to himself, " am I In such a hurry about ?" No urgent client demanded his {immediate attention to business, no cause of alarm disturbed him; and yet, in spite of the almost total absence of any claim, lie was nearly crazy to get his clothes on. Immediately, he solved the problem thus: " It is simply to get the dram." It is about to become ruy master. I trill not become it* *Ja**l and from thismorucut I will not touch it." Happy decision! lie quickly passed out of his room and said nothing. At breakfast, his thoughtful wile said to him, ' Mr. , you have forgotten your dram 1" "No, Mudiun, I have not," aid he; " but, wife, did you not observe my haste to get my ololhes on this morning f I found it was to get the dram. I saw it was about to master me, and I have resolved never to touch it." And he did not. To this day, he is a bright, if not a rare example of a sober, wise and excellent judge.?Spirit of the Age. Buocfxtxo Wbll.?Too many are impatient of result*. They are not Mtisfied to begin where their fathers aid, bat where they left off. They think to enjoy the frnite of industry without working tor them. They eannot wait for the results of labor end application, but forestal Lhem by too early indulgence. A worthy Scotch couple, when asked, bow their son had broken down so early in life, gave the following explanation : " When we began life together we worked hard, nd lived a|M>n porridge and such like, gradually adding to oar eomforts as our means improved, until we were able at length to dine off a bit oj roast meat, and sometimes a boill ehuekie, (or fowl;) but as for Jock, our son, he began where we had left off?he began uri' the ehuekie fret."? The same illustrations will apply to higher conditions of life than that of this humble pair. 8paxuii Pbovbrbs.?In love the virtuous woman says * no the passionate says " yesthe capricious says "yes sad no;" the coquette neither " yes" nor " no." Love, while it frequently corrupts pure hearts, often purifies corrupt hearts. Woman loves more than man, because she sacrifices more. Woman loves or'abhors; man admires or despises. Woman loves with her heart; man'with hi head. Love gives understanding to woman and takes It away from man. Weak son is lore all: lender souls lova on* oh. jeet well. Wnnr to Bboim.?- That you may find success," said Rev. diaries Brooks, in an address to boys, " let me tell you bow to proceed: " To night begin your great plan of life. You have but one life to live, ana it is immeasurably important that you do not make a mistake. To-night begin carefully. Fix your eye on the fortieth year of your age, and then any to yourself: At the age of forty I will be * temperate tnnn ; I will be an industrious loan ; ai. economical man ; a benevolent man ; a well read man ; a religious man, and a netful iu?n?I will be such an one; I resolve, and will stand to it.

It haa been beautifully remarked that n woman's heart ia the only true plate for a man's likeness. An instant gives the impreuion, and an age of sorrow and change cannot efface it.

The following revolution was offered and passed at the District Meeting held on Sole day last: "Jtiaolvatl, That in the sense of this meeting it ie the duty of the |>eople of the South to enconr age, by all possible means, the commerce and manufactures of the Sooth, and that for the consideration and furtherance of this object, the citizens of Oreenviile District be rcouestod to meet in tLe Court House on next Sale uay." We hope that the meeting will be a large one, and that our eitizena will evince by tangible proofs their diefiosition and intention to enoourage Southern commerce, trade and manufacture, about which we have heard so much. It matters not whether the South remains in the Union or goes out of it?if she wishes to become independent she must give more attention to the cultivation of the arts aud sciences?to manufactures, and the encouragement of homo industry aud home talent. She lias for too long a time pridod herself upon the all-governing and controlling influence of cotton, and believing that its mere production was a safeguard to all other influences which might be brought to bear against her, and that its power would secure to her all those rights and privileges which are granted to her under the Constitution. And whilst its potency for some things is acknowledged, we cannot be blind to the fact that tlio accumulation in the North, by manufacturing the products of the South, of immense stores of wealth, lias laid the Southern section of this confederacy at the feet of capitalists and manufacturers in the I North. Admitting that cotton is king?it is no | less a fact that money is king nlso, and it is apparent to ever}' one that the lulter is more powerful than the former. If the Southern people would only invest the money which they have now invested in Northern banks and Northern manufactures, there would soon be a change in affairs. The South possesses every resource.? j She has the water power, the energy, if placed Into execution, a capital sufficient to perform the manufacturing for tho world, and, most of all, she has the raw material at her own door.? What more docs she want? As to the labor which will be reqolred, we have more than enough. There is no doubt but there is now in the South a million of human beings that could be employed as operatives, who are now either idle or pursuing vocations less profitable. It is contended, by some, that we are unprepared to carry into execution the doctrine of non-interoourse at present; that there is too great a demand for articles which we have not* and which can only be procured at the North. It is only admUting that we know more of the North than we know of our Southern citizens. To cut aloof from the North at. ooee, might involvosome little sacrifice of personal convenieuec and comfort, but where is the man wito would be unfiling to forego the pleasure of a New York hat or a Nalick boot for the general good of the South? We believe, furthermore, that when men at the South find ont that there is a demand for Southern goods, and Southern manufactures, they will go to work and supply it Bnt, so long as we vaill have Northern goods, and disdain Southern articles, will we fiud an unwillingness to invest in manufactures by our own capitalists Y We recently conversed with an intelligent gentleman who was upon a visit for tho first time in his life to the South. Notwithstanding he had heard so much about the fire-eating propensities of South Carolinians, he was greatly surprised at the forbearance which they displayed towards the North, and with what seel and tenacity they clung to the Constitution, whereupon, we expressed the opinion thet, if the South had served her own interests with half the zeal she had served the Union, it would to-day hare been better for her and the tJnion. It is trne, that we ore behind the North in some respects, but it ie not owing so mncli to the enterprise of IbeNortbern people, as to the tardiness and spathy of ourselves. They hare grown wealthy upon the lazlncws?If wa may so call It?of Soutiiern people. Our people spend their money there in the summer. Men grow wealthy in the increantile business at the South, and purchase fine villas on the banks of the Hudson, where they can have the pleasureof country life within reach of the city. Tho merchants throughout the country?great and little?must atl needs go to the North, if for no nlhir niirrww* than t/i ? euro pleasure, And thus pay their tribute to the great Gotham. Let them go?thej hava a right to go. But Southern men who are anxious to build up their own seetion by encouraging importers and manufacturers nt the South, have a right to patroniso those who are true to them and the interests of the South. If merchants sre compelled to go North for a time, let them purchase their goods from those only who hare alwaya stood by as, and thus alio w to the foul-month- i ed altolition tneroltanU of New York, that if goods for the Sonth are to he purchased there, that thero exists no necessity for purchasing from those | who are unlriemlly to us. 5 HTNIR R TM^jySLt' MBrth. ffio.

His public life, he knows not how he could amend. He has lived for the people, and in every way has sought the promotion of their good. He has often labored " without money and without price," and hoped to do good ; that he has often failed, he knows perfectly well He has been styled a fanatic t Why? Because he has been, perhaps, over-zealous. His country has often approached the verge of ruin, and yet he has "hoped on, and hoped ever," and it has been averted. In the most gloomy days since last October, he has never desponded, but always has believed lhatGod would make the wrath of man praise him, and would correct the madness of Phillips, Garrison, Grcely, and nil of that ilk, with all their host of mad, misguided, strong minded womeo, and so it has turned out. Jt is very true, Congress ought to be purged 1 Such a man as Cromwell, to serve them as be did the Rump Parliament, would, b?J deed, be a great blessing. Legislators to meet and wrangle for two months about the chair of a Speaker shew that sotne hand and will stronger than tlieris ought to govern. I would euggeat that the members should, on tlia first day of a new Congress, be locked up and fed on bread and water, till their organisation. This would be serving them pretty much at the cardinals are treated on the election of a Pontiff. I have no doubt (if that were the ease) the organization would be completed in twenty-four lintiM What a shame it Is, that on such an occasion, sectional feeling should be allowed to prevail. Tho best man. whoever he uiay he, and wheresoever he may hail from, onght to be the Speaker. Tho election of President occurs too often. If ho conld be elected for eight years, and be forever ineligible, it would save us from much of our difficulties. So, too, I would have it declared, by the Constitution, that every Senator or member of the House of Representatives in Congress, should, during their term of office, be ineligible, as President or Vice President. The course of debates in Washington Is contrary to all parliamentary rules. In Committees of the Whole, as well as in the Ilouee, members should not be allowed to say a word, which was not of direct application to the subject in hand. If this rule were adopted, and rigidly enforced, the Buncombe speeches would be cut off. Who reads note the trash, and violent phillipics sent forth from that hot bed of folly, fanaticism, corruption, aud treason? Congress Ilall? None, save some crn/.y politicians among our people. Hie English are a sensible people In giving their legislators mo deaka. They sit in Parliament on beoohes, and their members are off hand speakers. Our members, both at Washington and Columbia, speak too much with a real. They thus cun prepare and deliver speeches of two, three and four hours.

These ] merchants are but deceiving them, and propose to do it by pointing out a few goods, marked ' conspicuously with Charleston brands, and lenv.

If the deception does not serve, ' they will boldly attempt to throw the blame on Charleston, by protenoing that they could not get their cuppleis here, or on good terms. Thia 1 will be a gross misrepresentation, as the Charleston stocks arc most abundant, can meet the de- ! mands of all comers, and are offered on the cheapest terms. An unusually large portion of them has been -directly imported, and that of American goods obtained direct from the manufacturers at the first lowest cost. The truth is, these merchants have persisted in passing on to New York, not because they can do better there, hut because they cen have there a protracted and pleasant personal frolic.
