When griping grief tbe heart doth wound, and doleful dumps the mind op press, then (finale; with her stiver sound, with speedy help doth lend redress. Oh! the charms of music. What wonderful power over humanltt. It vauses the most sternest, most wicked man to some tinteii stop, and thirik. It win tyrannlxe over the soul. Will Muse H to bow down; sad worship It, and compel tlte heart to yield Its treasure* Of love, Music causes the uncouth man 10 re alize in his soul that there is a power that does exist some where—above, be yond! Music elevates, empowers; And strengthens them all. As lifts beautifully been said i “The human soulAa a uiiglityjiarp, and all its strings vibrate to the guxhofniu- xic.” It cau es a gush of the pfiultent tears—ftome heart); cannot he touched ftUly by £he soft notes of ifiusici Who does not 1 know the power of music, more especially the music of the Ikluian jtoicef It come! to us like Gift soft ^soothing angel—whlsperlifg* of kind and loving words In the hoiir! of trouble. Who knows anger wheh the voice of love speaks in song? The old and young man, the child all delight in singing. Work i! made lighter by song, grief is dispelled, caus es light t.t shine In.darkness. When the end of time comes, and God shall sav, “Well done thou good and faithfifl servaut; dntCr thou Into the joys of the Lord.” ThaT Will be "music tollrdmrvHr soul, sweeter than human voice can give. It is reasonable to suppose that its swelling numbers have foiled and made heaven vocal with its drains of praise since creation dawned. We should have more singing around tho fire place, at the lamily altar, in the so cial circle. The human voice is the most perfect Instrument,, as it was made by the skillful Maker. ~Mutfie is Realtlf- ful. No medicine is better forbad hu mor, nor low spiri’s. Music i! to the intellect what cream and strawberries are to the taste. There are no words that will cause man to *h d tears Sootier than “Home Sweet Home,” wtlen far from home and loved ones. Go to the city and you will see a crowd of people gathered—you may ask what doe! this mean ?’ Tis only a poor beggaf singing. Nevertheless, even by one so base, doos not keep music from having dharniv. It melts the heart of the rich and poor, cause! them to drop a |>e.nny for the poof tfi.-in. O! tell us where music is not. We now hear it. in the pensive sonnds of the autumnal winds, we hear it in the sparkling flow of the bright, laughing streamlet as on and <>11 it. goes to join the brimmingTlver; we hear it, as it were, in -The morning star, and when gathered around the <'hnstmas fires the cfackling sparks make music, the flame has a cheerful hum of it! own. The air is always whispering melody. The Almighty has made mall to sing songs throughout all eternity. * Sacred music leads the soul to com mune with God, A few sweet notes brings with them hours of true pleas ure to the weary and world fursakfiu.

It is-hard to find a more palatable and nutritious food for humanity at so low a co*t a* our Southern cow |>ea. All varielie* eat well, some, of cour.-e, preferred to others. We understand that cow peas, rice, and a piece of fat meat, is a favorite dish with tho Geor gia •‘cracker.” Tho writer, Re don’t mind saying, has befen blessed with five iobu*t, healthy children, and there I* no dish that ever come! 20 duf table that is better ichshed hy them all than cow peas It is a very nitrogenous food (as are all beana, and thi* i* in .facla.bean and not a (tea,) and such a food as childrenTiecd to develop hone, tisane, muscle, etc. It is a very healthy diet in every respect, but think, the pea* oughtto be well mashed before eaten, as they are likely to be masticated and digested better. This food is - so easily and cheaply raised that it is surprising that most of our farmer* do not iuclpde them on their table at least once a day; every Jay in the year. Some of the coarser and darker varieties are In fact more palatable than white varieties; but the latter arc mainly preferred by house wives,4% t hey are more presenta ble In appearance when cooking and reatt-r for 'service. If the iiirm of NortHfifn pdople whn^are so.-, fond of navy-and dther varieties of bejins grown in that climate, only knew the palata- bility and hiitritiousness and cheap ness of our Southern cow pefts we Southern farmers would Sooti have a Northern market for all tlie surplus cow peas we could raise, especially the while and light colored varieties.—Ed itor Montgomery, Southern Live Stock Journal. Curing Hams.—I am assured upon good authority that finely powdered borax, sprinkled upon hams and Shoul ders, and rubbed in when taken out of bulk to be hung up to smoae and cure, will etlectually prevent !klppers.

In the Louisville Medical News we find an account of the medical properties of ehrn silk and the cures "that have been effected by its use. "Tfie w ay to use it is to take two double handfuls of fre-h corn silk and boil in two gallon! . f water until but a gallon remains. Add sugtif to make a svrup. Drink ft tumblerful of this thriee dally, and it will relieve dropsy by increasing tlie flow of the urine enormously.

I plainly saw tnat t?e were entering a period of financial depression uflcl* ampled in the laterTrusiness history of the United Slates; and concluded that it would be better for the to take In tail and go slowly until the skies became bright again.

STRONG, SOLID AND RESTED resume the use of Printer’s ink, and send cordial greetings of the season to the many good friends in Barnwell, Ai ken and Orangeburg Counties Who have so long extended their generous patronage to BROWN’S CORNER, as best headquarters for purehssoof all Merchandise, and sale of all country produce. To Niem and to tbe general pnbiie I beg to express my siheere be lief tluu better, days than we have known since the outbreak of the war between the States are just daw iiingon us. The husiue .s experifenee of thirty- five active years has taught me to look ahead and I am sure that 1 am not mis taken id making this prophecy. So strong U my confidence that I have during my recent long visit to the leailihg Northern cities secured tlie Grandest Stock of General Merchandise that I have ever handled or thift any merchant has ever brought to South Carolina. I’erhsps i may have over bought, but 1 think not, for I found that the Panic had held Northern manufac turers ami wholesalers hy tlie throat more cruelly than it had laid hands on tlie farmeis of our State. '1 hey had to sell. I bought. And the proof* that ! was fortunate crowd my store rooms and ware houses and ihvitc by their va riety, excellence and cheapnhs! the pat ronage of all who wisely want all that they tan get for their money, cotton or other produce. Out of tliis vanishing panic-have come these sdund new re quirements of business that producers and consumers must get neater togeth er and that tlie day of high prices is gone forever. Acting on those princi ples 1 have bought from first hands in ail lines and taken advantage of every fair opportunity that my preseace and cash down put within my reach. 1 »n- derstand this recdirithirtlnh of our business methods and accept it, and ex pect and intend by increasinglhe range and quantity of sales in 4II lines of mer chandise to take modest care of myself and to put good heart and hope into Dispeople by giving them more goods and better goods for their money than tilt y ever dreamed of getting. Without attempting to catalogue the attraction! that I have secured I beg, by way of suggestion, to ask the atten tion of the Ladies to the opportunity offered them of buyihg in comfortable leisure at home all that they need to make them happy in heart and hand some in tlie eyes of men at PIN MONEY PRICES.
