DARLINGTON, a C., WEDNESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 27, 1869. * THE BROJKEN VOW. ‘•But let the world say what it will. Tho' *,nrow may awl.il. intrude, For wisdoms voice is faithful still. Still to b. blest—i* so. he food.’' “He win not come to-night,” suit} Kuuns, she looked out of her chamber ou the still And depopulated streets, and saw the dark ytin clouds gathering in the sky ; “lie will pot come to-night—it is past his hour—he did not use to be so careful about the weather —but I did not indulge in disquietude—lie lias promised—The word died upou her lips; she recollected the eolduess—the tone of ambiquity with which that promise had been repeated, when Theodore last visited -bier; and iu a confused and embarrassed mauuer, though with much parade of disap_ pjiutment, assured her that it would be im possible for him to conform to his engagement and marry her at the time appointed. She remembered how her heart sank within her at the moment aud the strange mysierious presentment, that crossed her mind. That then for the first time, she thought how bit ter a thing must be disappointed love; for the first time, she felt the force of the re taark, which she had so often heard : “Man’s vows are brittle things./ Still the natural buoyancy of her spirits Torbade her to despond. True, he had not fixed the more distant period, he had left the final hour indefinate, but she had his promise; she had his oath; she would no behove him unfaithful; she could not believe him perjured- At last after an absence of a week, which seemed to her a year, he visited the house again ; he once more mingled with the smiling family circle, he seemed the same he had alwiys been, and she was hap py. But he retired before the family: this eosts her a nights rest. It was not his usual manner, and she wondered why, at this par ticular time, he should have more business than usual. Still, she endeavored to put the most favorable construction upon everything ahe strove to acquit him iu her own heart. But love has eagle eyes, and from their vigilance, duplicity must be coupled with Consummate art, jf she would avoid detection. Emma was caressed by a large number of ac- qtl^intanocs. avid Theodore was also a favor ite, iu parties they frequently came together •nd then when the spirits were up. and ail reserve thrown of off, the heart unma.ks it self There Theodore often forgot his cau tion, and not only abated his usual display of partiality for Emma, hut lavished his fondness on another. The gonerous girl forgave him, and forgiveness became a crime against her own heart. She resolved to lead a more secluded life, and in prosecuting her rcaolve, she found ample evidence of what she most feared. His visits grew less and Jess frequent, until at length they were dis continued altogether, Woman like in the deepest of her sorrows, she retired as it were, within herself, and se cure iu the confidence that not even her dearest friends or relatives knew anything of her disappointment, she nursed her grief in secret, and put on a smile ns sweet, if not as gay, before the world. But heroically asshe played this new and deceptive part, her feel ings gradually obtained the victory over her frame; she pined and pined away day by day;the paleness of departed health blanched her cheek, aud she roved in the stillness of evening among the tombs of her fathers, in the churchyard, like a thin shadow of the past. None knew her grief, hut he knew the cause, aud he shuddered at the ruin ho had made. Her friends perceived with concern the rapid decay of her health, and as her family had some relatives in Bermuda, they resolved to send her there. The voyage had a salu tary effect; the change of scenes, and the kindness she experienced in her abode, dis pelled much of that cheerless gloom that pressed upon her heart, and added life to her inanimate frame. The glow ol health gradually returned, and she shone iu the maturity her beauty, a Star of no common luster in the fashionable world of that de lightful island. A year had not elapsed be fore the hand of the wealthiest merchant on the island was offered her. He was all the up beautiful trees. Her name remained where she had engraven it, on the sash of her chamber, twelve years before. She sat down by it, called hack the recollection of times passed by, and wept. Yet these wore tears of mingled joy and sorrow. Mr. Loferc took a fine establishment iu Chcsnut street, and lived iu splended style. Emma used to ride out daily in an elegant carriage with her infant family ; and, as had long been her practice, she carefully sought out such objects as she thought would bo charitable to relieve. One day, a? she Was riding in the suburbs of the city she saw a poor half-clad man lying on the ground, and a tatteved child cvyiug Uy h*s*>dc. She di rected the coachman to stop, and calling the man, inquired why he disregarded the child aud whose it was. “It is teine,” said he ‘‘I came out hoping to get a place for it in yon der house, aud could not: it is almost starved and I have not the means t<i procure food for myself or it.” She gave him a small sum, and directed him to call at her house the next day. He received it with tears aud compliance. At the hour appointed, the poor man with his helpless child waited in the kitchen for the call of his benefactress, Mrs. Lcfcre -sent for him to the breakfast room, as soon .as the family dispersed and desired to know by what means he had brought himself to poverty and want. The map spoke opt hopestly, Intemper ance, he said was tho great cause, but his troubles had driven him to that. “I once saw better days,” said he. “I was a partner tin a mercantile business—I married—I was deceived. The mother of this poor child, af ter involving me in ruinous debt, eloped with a libertine, whose addresses she had long received. I drowned my sorrows and sank my character in habits of vice and in toxication. I have been twice imprisoned for crime—1 am destitute of friends and em ployment. “And what uyour name?” inquired Em ma. “Theodore W ,” he replied, after a moment’s hesitation. The kind lady turned pale, and trembled; she recognised iu him the once faithless Theodore. “At last then.” said she affecting to be calm, “You have learned to keep your prom, isos—you have called at the time appointed —I will provide for yourself and child.” “Ah,” said he, “you know me. When you asked me my name, I dare not tell you an untruth ; but I hoped it had been forever blotted from your memory. I watched your prosperity, and nursed my folly, uutil I had exhausted all my powers. But broken vows came back to their author in the end, aud mine have ruined me forever.” Ho covered his face and wept. She left him, and having consulted Mr, Before, pro cured him a situation in an honest occupa tion, aud placed the child at school. Thus was the maxim verified, “All is for the best to the innocent and virtuous,” and thus it is that v ice works out its own reward at last. Je-flVrs«»n*a> twiddle. AUrtcumic. JMtsccUnnmte. The wife of Thomas Jefferson, Mrs. Martha Skelton, a rich widow, twenty.tliree at her second nuptials. She was of good family, beautiful, accomplished, and greatly ad mired. The story went that two among the many suitors for her hand, going severally to her house on the same errand to learo their fate from her decision, met in the hall, whore they heard her playing on the harpsichord and singing a love-song, accompanied by Jofferon’s voice and violin. Something in the song or the manner of the singing satisfied both wooers of their hopes, and they Loth withdrew. The statesman was fond of his violin. When his paternal home was burned, he asked: “Arc all the books destroyed?” ■■Yes. tuassa.” was the reply, “doy is: hut we saved de fiddle.” ‘•The True Work.” Wo continually hear discussed what is the “true work,” the “old work,” the “now Work,” “Smith’s work,” or some other man’s work,” but scarcely ever hear a word about “how to work.” Uniformity in work is a great thing, as all working Masons appreciate ; and so far as uniformity can ever bo attained in this world it is not a difficult task for any Grand Lodge that goes systematically about it. Let it adopt its work, teach and enforce it, aud there is the end of it. Unfortunately, however, Grand Lodges can not infuse into its subordinate officers the genius /tow to work- That must come from the man himself. In the first place he must possess sufficient confidence in himself to talk out plain and distinctly, and not mumble his words as though he had his month full of hot mush. Second—He should not Le too lazy to stand up at the proper time. Third—When it is proper to sit down he should use his Lips instead of the back ot his nock. Fourth--Jf he can possibly afford it, he should dress as well as he Joes when he goes to church, aud pot as though he was going to break rocks, for it is a very rare thing to soo oven thecandidale do less than this ; and if he did we should lose much confidence in his moral and mental worth.

Iflrc is not, he ha? bought nothing but chaff. l?ixth—The Master possesses the same power over bis officers and members, and sec that they arc awake and alive to their interests, and not allow them to treat him The Third 1’nrty Movement in Kentncky—WTint Some of the PapefK Kfty. There are some attempts being made in the South to form a new political party out of the conservative elements of all tho other parties. The latter triumphs in Virginia and Tennessee have given an impetus to the movement, and thijrc is some vitality in it- We shall not obioet to the good man of all parties uniting under one common standard and marching in one solid phalax against the common enemy—the party in power—but we do not sec that it is necessary to haul down the old Democratic standard, under which so many battles have been fought and won, in order to do this thing. Perhaps it may bovome uecesary to recognize the forces and strengthen the weak points along the Democratic line, bjit we desire to make the fightaud win the victory under the Democratic name-. We are free to confess that the Democratic organization. North and South, is not in full accord. The situation is very different, and hence the issue in the contest are not alike. In the North, they have a free ballot, and the Democracy can make the fight on an equal looting with the radical opponents; and hence, they oppose the adoption of the fif teenth amendment, favor a reduction of the taxes, oppose class legislation, and contend ' for an equal distibution of the burdens of the Government. Iu tho South, they are making the struggle for the ballot which has been taken from them, This is the leading idea with them, and hence it is all their energies tend in this direction, and for the present <Morc thnr, three thousand years ago this they arc holding in abeyance the distinctive .rigeph lived, of whom wo all love tc read ; parading our principles on all occasions, aud if we did, it would be like casting pearls be fore swine, to hope that the radicals would digest them to any advantage. 1’he Demo cracy is ^neither dead nor dying, apj the hope is the father to the thought with the Statesman. So far from being dead, it flour- isheth like a green bay-tree.—Lex. Gazette, Down in Geobpia.—There is twt a more efficient nor an abler Democratic newspaper in Georgia than the Atlanta Constitution. But it has an unhappy faculty of now and then seeing a little beyond its nose and its toes, and consequently has fallen under the displeasure of those who are blissfully detcr- miiicil not to ree before there toes and noses. So, here is how the Constitution dismisses its critics: “We have never urged the Southern people to abandon their affiliations with the Demo cratic party. We have said some plain things about Democracy, but we still cling to it. These old party hacks cannot understand how a fearless, independent, truthful joursal can bravely own up party errors, and honestly urge party cleansing, and yet be true to the principles and faith of a party. Their inde fensible gotioq about party management is, that a man must praise its blunders and de fend its mistakes, and hcuco become the ehay’.pion of folly and error. Our notion is, that a journal muit mould party to right, and, therefore, increase ils powerand enhance . „ run - „ , its lyfluenco, ror is a source at wei kncss. and must lead to ultimate defeat.

Some old bachelors git after a flirt and can’t travel so fast as she do?:, and then con clude awl the female group are hard to ketch, and good for nothing w hen they are ketebed. A flirt is a rough thing to overhaul unless the right dog gets after her, and then they arc the easiest ov awl to ketch, and make the very best ov wives, When a flirt really falls in love, she Is as power lea* as a mown daisy. Her impudence then changes inlo modes ty, her cunning into fear, her spurs into a halter, her pruning into a cradle. Tho bi>»t way tew ketch a flirt is tew travel the other way from which they are going, or sit down on the ground and whistle some lively tune till tho flirts come round. Old bachelors makes the flirts, and then tin'flirts get more than ever by making the eld bach elors. A majority of flirts get married finally, for they have got a great quantity of the most dainty titbits of woman's nature, and alwus hav shrewdness to back up their sweetness. Disappointed luv must, of course, be ail on one side, and this ain’t any more an ex cuse for being an old bachelor than it is for a man to quit all kinds of manual labor just the cry of “nigger,” “rebel” and such terms, and our defeat was certain. It is our desire to relieve the Democratic party of any neces sity to discuss these questions—they are dead issues—c.md their discussion of no use except to arouse local prejudices to subserve the the purpose* of demagogues. 1 n devotion to the principles of the Democratic party, we suffer none to excel us, and iu the very article referred to used the strongest language at our command to express this fealty; and as to the necessity or existence of a “new part,” said, “so long as there shall be a distinction between a monarchial and republican form of government, that long will there be a Democratic party in spirit if not in name.”— llkknian Courier. The Statesman has a solid c riumn on the Democracy, and we confess that the wrang- liugsoftho Democratic papers have given just cause for outside barbarians, like the Statesman, to think that the seeds of death were disseminated throughout the party. But a more egregious error was never enter tained. The Democracy arc neither norslcepeth, and the difforenc'swhich appear an clip its numbers is superficial and transitory while the gn-. t cardinal doctrines which bind it together are indissoluble These minor differences, indeed, arc the strongest evidence of its vitality.

The way ho met temptation showed that be wa? a man who feared God. He said, “How shall I do this great wicked ness, and sin against God?” this we find the principle that governed him through life, in the prison as well as in the court; and it is this alone which can enable any child of Adam to live uprightly, When brought out of the dark and gloomy prison into the dazzling splendor of Pharonh’s court, the same unde via ting integrity marked Joseph’s eoudvet. Prosperity is harder to bear than adversity; and many whose charac ters arc made to shine bright by the hard rubbing of disappointment and trial, grow weak and weaker and worthies? in the soft lap of indulgence. Joseph experienced both tests, and bore them well. How was ho cua- ! blc to do this ? Because the Lord was with I him, and gave him wisdom and power to do J what was right; and He will give to you my i young readers, and to all who fear him. dea l | You sec no credit is due to Joseph for his upright life; aud he himself disclaimed any power or wisdom of his own iu tho interpre tation of dreams. Indeed no credit belongs to any one for bis goodness. If he possesses any it is the gift of God. Thus you see all glory and honor belong to Himonly. Is not this a beautiful thought? Everything good comes from God, and goes back to Him. This famishes the subject for the highest songs which the redeemed sing in heaven. In tho midst of his grandeur Joseph's brothers came to him in great distress, actually wanting bread. They bowed them down to the great Governor of Egypt, and trembl ed when he spoke harshly to them. Was not this the exact fulfillment of the dream which he had in his boyhood, or rather the vision with which God had favored roughly to them at first, but not for mean or selfish motive ; but because be wanted to make them understand and realize their sin.

Having been planting only a few years, and therefore a very limited experience 1 I feel my incompcteucy to write an Essay in full on this subject. I will merely touch upon some of tho important points to bring the matter to a full discussion by those members present who have had more ex perience. 1st. Have the cotton picked, clear of leaf and dirt, and as early after opening ns pusi- ble, There is oiily o’ o. \vay of picking it out, aud that is by hand, (all inventions for this purpose, as far as I know, having failed.) From information I learn that formerly cot ton, from ordinary to strict middling, varied iu price from ope to two cent* pair pound, while with the present price, the same grades vary from three to five cents per pound. Would it not he more remunerative to the planter in this section, where wc make small besto:,* mo’\, care and attention in ion picked from the field ? To prepare a handsome where there is sufficient st picking in a pile, let ui iu the heating pro- ucd too iar, this is an cotton (when in iqg it on top, so as ing, which gives it a beautiful cream tinge, by extracting the oil from the seed. Cotton then thoroughly dried in the shade (if dried in the sun, it would be more or less bleached) it is ready for the gin. 2d. My experience in the use of the vari ous gins are too limited to give an opinion. I have scon staples made by the G ullct Steel Brush Gin, far superior to any other, more clear of leaf, and apparently, the staple less same power and the same quan tity can bo picked as other gins. 3d. As to baling cotton. This has been very much neglected by the planters and very generally, too, that is in putting a bale up neatly and securely. 500 pound bales seems most desirable. It lias been said th»t the lint pressed too tightly, does not make a good sample, and consequently brings a less price. To put up a neat bale, it requires eight yards of bagging,’ten feet in the sheet, eight feet in the top sheet and six feet, (split) for the sides. In seaming across the heads, the top and bottom sheets should he well turned under and secured with the twine doubled, as it is not so apt to cut out as (he single twine. It should be impressed upon the farmers, generally, the importance of putting in side shenfs, so as to entirely hide (he cotton, which, in some degree, may prevent the great /".... ,f trei/ht in cotton by stealage ami wastage w hen shipped to Charles ton and other points. Tho best bagging I have ever seen or used, was bought tho pres ent season in I'liarle: fi n, it is branded '‘Jlcnt/al Jlayyia;/” and manufactured at Salem.
