These am shams which moat surely

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. My young friends, let tliie
resolution l>s firm as adamant; let it sland like
the oak, which cannot be wind-shaken."
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.
Oaa day, as a strong wind was blowing, a little
boy was standing ate window. Suddenly he
raised his hands gleefully and exolaimed: "Mother,

I Southern Commerce and Manufactures.
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.

" Hope on, hope ever," has been the motto of an
aged man, who has encountered many vioissitr.de*?often
popular, often unpopular; in refer
ence to his country, he has held on his course,
withont change, nrnl done his duty faithfully and
r^/r/osi#/u a* fil.?A A ? * *
j, ??u av imi mm cmiTurv nm more man
rewarded hlin 1 lie stands now upon tlio verge,
of time, and looking back over the past, there is
much in his private life he would correct, if he
had it in his power. 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. Who ever heard of
Chatham, Pitt, Fox or Sheridan thns speaking?
We boast much of democracy, but, as a nntion)
wc are distinguished by loyocraey. I wish we
couiu act ou me junker'* advico (n hi* son.
"John," *?id lie " think twice before thoo speske*t
odcc." A witty judge oueo said to the writer,
when he wiw young nnd a member of the
State Legislature, " you are fond of speaking,
but my advice lo you is to speak seldom, and understand
perfectly what you are to?|>eak about.''
Tliis was wisdom, as my subsequent experience
proved.
What make* our sessions so unproductive of
good ? May it not be, (hat we have too much
speaking! I fear that it is so. Most of our members
are orators. Indeed, no man deemed worthy
of being a legislator is allowed to think and
rote?he must make a speech, if it be rank noneense.
I have aeon the Legislature, wbea such
men as Lick Johnson, of Edgefield, Joe Itlnek, of
Abbeville, felarling Tucker, of Laurens, John MeCrary,
of Chester, and Philemon Bradford, of
Greenville, were its ruling spirits. Then, Indeed,

and tests, and with special reference to tbe wants 1

Will the country merchants and people of the 1
South perform their part in return, in this effbrt 1
to build up Southern tradsf Ws fesr not as 1
fully as was promised and desired. Although
many are now buying here, and some from I

to the North, and under oirouiuetancea calculated, '
unleM understood, to do injustice and Injnnr to '
Charleston. We feel it to be onr dntv to calf the
attention of the'Bouthcrn people and their local
patrons to their coarse. '
Many merchants from Mississippi, Alabama, '
and olner surrounding States, hnve come here 1
with through tickets to New York already
purchased and in their pockets, have barely 1
skimmed our markets and stocks, bought a few 1
articles and passed on It has transpired that '
they hnve done thia, simply that they may have *
the credit at home of having visited and bought 1
in Charleston, it is known that their patrons 1
at home have exacted their promises to buy in '
Southern markets, and have pledged themselves 1
to eonsume ouly Southern purchases. These ]
merchants are but deceiving them, and propose
to do it by pointing out a few goods, marked '
conspicuously with Charleston brands, and lenv. '
ing them to infer thnt their whole stnc'.s were 1
pnrchasod here. 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.
Let the Southern people everywhere understand
thnt it Is impossible for Southern cities to
rise into great marts of commerce, or to establish

that railroads have l>e<>n productive of little ben- <

course would be to leave them to their ignorance, i

upon civilization, the comforts of life, and' J
economy of time. They render homogeneous <
distant peoples, and bring nearer individuals of
remote countries. They pour steamers of life
through regions that, would otherwise be undeveloped
and primeval?they bear produce from 1
the most distant field, and return manufactured 1
goods and life's necessaries. But for them, interior
land would yield no remuneration to the
fanner beyond precarious support. The rivar
ways would monopolize demand, and owners of |
lands along their hanks would coatrol the marLets.
Railroads are to the interior what rivers j
are to contiguous land?offering a rapid liighwav (

Tn* Coax Fawixk.?It ia presumable that the
present scarcity, and consequent high price of
eora, bee act the producers of the hrticle to thinking
as to its cause, and awakened the farmers to
a knowledge of the Importance of plaatiag a
large provision crop the present year. At all
events, it ia to he hoped that they hare considered
this matter ; the great demand for corn and
wheat, for bread, its scarcity, and consequently
Lite high pries of it Corn is now telling readily
it one dollar and a quarter per busliel, ami goes
riulokly at that If the coming crop be light,
thsrs is no telling to whet price it may run up,
or whether it can be got at all or not next
spring. These facts should admonish planters to
attend to It, that in planting their crop this year,
s sufficiently large provision crop be planted.-?
It is eertainly bad economy to raise cotton entirely
on poor land, with the expectation of buying
corn and meat; and when corn isatthspres
rut prices, it seems actually suicidleul to ona's
own interest The farmer who never buys corn
or meat ia generally thrifty, hla household Is the
kl>ode of abundanoe and peace, and the corn famine?such
as now prevails?never troubles him,
hut on the contrary fllla his purse. An exchange
w?ys that 0 one of the most thrifty planters we
ever knew, bee often assured us that when the
priee of eora was very high, heal way* plaateda
large crop of corn, and always realised mors
profit from it than his neighbors did from their
extra crop of cotton.?Isamrenmtille Herald.
