BY ii. C. wAuaat. Upon the still and silent air A bell's deep tones are swelling, As if the Angel of Despair Some mortal's doom was telling. Its sounds arc solemn-measured, slow, In lingering sadness they depart; Responsive strains of anguish flow, And leave a worn and aching heart. Again its brazen voice is heard In quick succession, peal on peal; A youthful-fluttering heart is stirred 'With glowing thoughts of future weal. Ah, fond one: O, how soon may come The time when this thy marriago bell May lose its glad and joyous tone And sound n boIciuu funeral knell? It rings to tell the flight of time, And tolls away life's fitful lease; Its tones in pious echoes chime The holy symphony of peace. All life's strange notes responsive flow In careless cadence from its tongue; The ceaseless changes, joy and woe Alike, from its dull harp arc flung. It rings when nature ushers in A member of life's numerous train, And when be leaves this sphere of sin It breathes his solemn sad refrain. The wreath which decks the bridal brow May serve as faded immortelle; The bell that pealed the nuptial vow May toll the deep-toned funeral knell. Extraordinary Proceeding. Judge Carpenter has rendered a deci sion in tho caso of the counsel of the Citizens' Savings Bank, who were attach ed by him for contempt of court. The circumstances of tho case arc briefly as follow?: J. Lt. Watson, county treasurer of* Y'ork County, instituted suit against the Citizens' Savings Bank, and asked Judge Carpenter to appoint a receiver to|j take charge of its assets. Messrs. P. Wl MeMustcr,-D. 12.- LcContCi J. I). .Pope?* A. C. Ilaskell, W. K. Baohman and L l?\ You mans, attori eys at law and coun sel of the hank, at the commencement of the suit filed a pet it ion before Judge Bryan, of the United States Court, upon which the hank was adjudged bankrupt. An effort was made before the United States Court by the attorneys of "Watson to restore the assets to the jurisdiction of the State Court, but Judae Bond decided that they wcte properly brought in the United States Court. In the meantime Judge Carpenter served a rule upon the counsel named above to show cause why they should not ho stricken from the rolls for contempt. The counsel in answer to the rule appeared and disavowed all in tention of committing a contempt of court in the action. The decision of Judge Carpcnier is as follows: The State of South Carolina, Kichland County In the Common Please.?John L.

R. B. CARPENTER, Columbia, January 12, 1874. Deacon Barnes' Sunday. "Beautiful, beautiful!" mentally ejacu lated Deacon Barnes at the close of a sermon about Heaven. "Those are my I ideas exactly." And so unwrapt was he with his thoughts as he passed out of church, he forgot to ask lame old Mrs. Howe to ride home with him, as was his usual custom. "Perhaps it is just as well," he thought "for she is a worldly old woman, and would probably have drawn my thoughts away from Heaven." At the dinner table his son exclaimed: "Oh, father, I have a situation at last." "Have you forgotten that it is Sunday, Joan ?" asked his father, sternly. "Don't let me hear any more such talk " John ate his dinner in silence. How could his s tuation be a wrong thing to speak of c .1 Sunday? He was so thank ful for it that it seemed to como from the hand of God. God knew all about the restless months in which he had answered an advertisement every day. Wen the minister gave thanks in church for all the morc.ies of the past W6ek, John's heart gave a grateful throb and he determined anew to acknowledge God iu all his ways. John ate dinner in silence while his lather thought about Heaven. In the afternoon .Mr. Barnes' nephew, a|stranger in the place, came over from his boarding place opposite, nud sat on tee piazza talking with John. ? "I can't .allow this, Tom," said Mr. Barnes, coining to the doer with his Bible in his hands, "you must not sit here ^Breaking the Sabbath. Go back to your (Boarding houso and read soiuo good i?cek." ji; Tom started angrily, and spent the af ternoon fishing aad bating with au old icolored man, his only other acquaintance i:i the place, while Deacon Barnes sat in ntlnige rocker on the piazza with a hand crehitf over his face, and thought about Heaven. Presently Iii? two little grand daugh ters ?camc out on the piazza with a large picture book and sat dowu near him. There was a flutter of leaves and a great deal of buzzing as the little yellow heads bent over the book, and finally the} laughed outright. "Children, wherc'syour mother?" sbern ly demanded Deacon Barnes, springing to his feet. "Up stairs putting baby to sleep,'' they both answered together. Deacon Barnes strode into the ball. "Ellen 1 Ellen!" he shouted,41 should think you might keep these children quint on the Sabbath. They won't allow me to think." Ellen had been awake all night with a fretful oaby. She had hushed him and had just fallen asljcp, when her father's voice aroused her ami awoke the baby. "Please send them up stairs," she said, wcari'.y. And all the sultry afternoon she amus ed the three children in a close upper room, while her father rocked and Tanned himself, nud thought about Heaven. Useful Pkovers.?Waste nothing? neither time, money, nor talent Always tell the truth; you will find it insior than lying. Ho who gives a trifle meanly, is far nicauorshan the trifle. A heart full of grace is better than a heart full of notions. Men looking at tho faults of women should shut their eyes. If we seize too hastily, wc may have to drop as hastily. Experience is a torch lighted in the ashes of our delusions. Prosperity is a blessing to tho good, but a curse to evil. Lot everything have ita place and every burincss its placer Better be upright with poverty than bo wicked with plenty. The tenderest heart loves best the bold and courageous one. Ho who laughs at cruelty sets his heel on the neck of veligion. Time never seta heavily upon* us but when it is badly employed. Whatever you dislike in another tako care to correct in yourself. Resolve to perform what you ought and perform what you resolve. The stupid great man, liko a clown, gets up only to tumblo down, Mliton's JLove of Music.?Miltoii never speaks of music without a peculiar and impressive enthusiasm. The depth and virtues of music are glowing themes under his pen. His soul was full of mu sic. His verses sing, because his spirit sings in them. No poet revels more luxurious* ly in the swelling waves ot music. Ho soars in the very empyrean of lofty song. Coleridge calls him the "Musical poet." "Paradise Lost" throbs with tho echoes tbat rang; an incessant anthem, in his musical soul. Music Avas his only recrea tion. Iu the intervals of severe Btudy, ho gave himself to inspiriting song. When he stooped to breathe amid tho fierce nud acrid controversies of his active manhood, he refreshed himself with the grand harmonies of the organ or the gen tler tones of the flute. He could turn from the. "Areopagitica," to a soothing choral; from a state piper of the Common wealth to an anthem. And when, in his old ago, blindness and poverty and a royal ban were ou him, and tho hopes of a life time were shattered forever, he felt his way back to the keys of tho instrument, and found consolation in the harmony of sweet sounds. And out from that music* al soul, whole heavenly harmonics neither violence nor neglect could destroy, rolled tho measures of the immortal epic that will sing its way on to the gates of pearl. A Boy's Fight With an* Eagle.? The New Bedford Mercury says that a few days ago Nelson H. Stevens, a boy living at East Fair Haven, Mass., saw a large eagle swoop down on a flock of fowls, seize one, and fly into the woods. The boy went for his gun, which was loaded with shot for rabbit shooting, and on pursuing the eagle, found that the fowl had esscaped, and that the eagle was chasing it through the bushes. He then fired, wounded tho eagle, and a fierce hand-to hand tusslo ensued, in which the boy thought he had killed it. He seized his prize and started for home, threw it over a wall which came in his way, when it again flew back to the wood. Tho boy followed, and in another fight made sure of Idling the bird. He then took it home, and found that it Wiighcd eight and half pounds and mersured six feet nine inches from tip to tip. _ F/ard Times; yes, but there is evidently something harder than the times to com plain of. There is a bard drinker, who takes no less but rather more whiskey, now that his family are starving, than when he could get employment at fair wages. There is the hard old miser, who is gloating on the miseries of his fellows nud improving these hard times to make his hundred per cent, out of the sacrifices of the poor. And worse than all, there is the cousin of Pharaoh, the hard heart ed hearer of God's message; whom neither the plagues of politicians in all our coasts nor of thieves in our batiks, nor of mur derers in our streets, nor of sluggards and hypocrite in our churches, will per suade that there is any need of the gospel of Jesus Christ. The heart of unbelief is the hardest thing known to history. Both in Horses.?In (he popular Science Monthly there is a short aiticlc relative to the power of endurance mani fested by tho larvro fly. It mentions a case where a piece of the stomach of a dead horse, which was covered with hot worms was spread on a board and spirits of turpentine was poured on the worms; yet aller an hour not one was detached from tho flesh. Then whale oil was poured on them, when they all let go their hold, and died almost immediately. llcnco the inference that whale oil should bo used to detach the worms from the living horse, when attacked by bots.?Prairio Farmer. A Justice of the Peace in Iowa, beforo whom a citizen had prosecuted his daughter's lover for ejecting him from his own parlor the Sunday evening pre vious, solemnly decided as follows: "It 'pears that this young feller was courtin' tho plaintiff's gal iu plaintiffs parlor, and that tho plaintiff intruded, and was put out by defendant. Courtin' is a necesity, and must not bo interrupt ed. Therefore, the laws of Iowa will hold that a parent has no legal right in a room whero courtin is afoot, and so the defend ant is discharged, and tho plaintiff must pay the costs." mm j .^^"^^ ji[?^Il''ri"<lrT"ri^' "''''i1 '^-"f'I - A writer in Mr. Bergh's paper, "Tbc Animal Kingdom," presents some cari ous statistics of the connection between crime and cruelty.

Republican says : "The-Town of Middlcford, in SasV sex County, we are informed, is now un- \ inhabited, aud the houses arc tenanted by bats and owls, without a single human being residing in them. It used to con. 1 tain flourishing mills and ship corn meal and flour to Europe. Tho mills are now idle, and Goldsmith's deserted village finds a counterpart in Sussex County."- n The Wilmintou Commercial adds, that > "Middlcford has been inaveay dilapida^ ;,, ted condition for many years, and J^tio , Methodist. Church, the only one there, was abandoned more than ten ysars ago. Tho tow was owned by a single man Jomes Ralston. It contained about thirty ,J*\ houses, and possessed the finest water power in the State." 1 V A curious circumstances is mentioned in a Canadian paper of n boy named Kingston, who recently lost his arm' by a thrashing-machine at Adelaide. Af ter the limb had been amputated and buried, he complained that the hand Was cramped, causing hira extreme pain, and ? that if it was not disinterred he could not recover. The limb was accordingly disin terred, and the band found to be firmly shut trgcthor. During the operation of opening the hand the patient evinced great agony, and afterward dcclaxed that he felt relieved from the seus&tion of cramp, The case is a strange on, bat. wo believe it is not without precedentin med-, ical annals. "How does that look, eh ?" said a big fis.cd Wall street man to a friend, hold ing up one of his brawny hands. 'That/ said his friend, "looks a though you'd gone 'short on your soap." Mr. Smith is bound to have his joke. His wife walked nearly in front of a rail road train the other day, and ho said that if she had goue a step farther bis children would have had a step-mother. ... ft "John," said a stingy old hound to his hired man, as he was taking dinner, "do you know how many pancakes yon have eaten?" "No." "Well you have eaten fourteen." "Well, said John, "you count and I'll cat." "Doctor," said a lady to her physiclana "don't you think the small bonnets that the ladies wear now a-days have a ten dency to produce congestion of the brain*?' ?'No, madam. Where you see one of those bonnets there is no brain to congest." A gcnt'.e hint: A youth and maiden were walking beneath the blue canopy of the firmament "fretted with golden fires," aud the maiden moved by the sublimity of the scene, pointed a taper finger?the ono On which the engagement ring is worn?towards the zenith and exclaimed- "Ob, Adolphus, isn't jewelry beautiful." The slowly-starving editor of a paper in Brnttlboro, Vt., drops into poetry as follows: "We had sweet dreams the other night," When all around was still; We dreamed we saw a host of folks Pay up their printers' bill. We wish the dream would come to past, And our empty pockets fill? Tar da ump a te diddle dum, Tc tump tc idtllo dill.
