THE BRIDAL WINE CUP. “Pledge with wine—pledge with wine,” cried the young and thoughtless Harvey Wood; “pledge with wine” rang through the bridal party. The beautiful bride grew pale—the decis- sive hour had come. She pressed her white lianas together, and the leaves of the bridle wreath trembled on her brow} low breath came quicker, aud her heart beat wilder. “Yes, Marian, lay aside your scruples for this once,” said the Judge, in a low tone, going toward his daughter, “the company ex pect it. Ho not so seriously iiiliiuge upon —who watched over my brothers dy- the rules of etiquette; in your own home do f onni ^J,at last solomn hour, and bu ried the dear wanderer there by the. river, that the bridegroom hands and was weeping. “Dead!” she repeated again, her lips quivering faster and faster, and her voice more broken ; “there they scoop a grave, and there without shroud they lay him down in that damp, reeking earth ;. the only son of a proud father, the only idolized brother of a fond sister. And he sleeps to-day in that distant country, with no stone to mark the spot. There he lies, my father’s son—my own twin brother ! a victim to this deadly poison. Father,” she exclaimed, turning suddenly, while the tears rained down her beautiful checks, “father shall 1 drink it now?” The form of the old Judge was convulsed with agony. He raised not hie head, but in a smothered voice be faltered, “No, no, my cliild—no 1” She lifted the glittering goblet, aud letting it suddenly fall to the floor it was dashed in to a thousand pieces. Many a tearful eye watched her movement, and instantaneously every wine glass was transferred to the mar- table on which it had been prepared. Then, as she looked at the fragments of crystal, she turned to the company, saying: “Let no friend horcoftor, wbo W.w i lle> tempt me ♦» peril my soul for wiue. Not lirmer are the everlasting hills than my resolve, God help ing me, never to touch or taste the poison j month old. cup. And he to whom 1 have given my wc should feel a touch of sadness when we are .reminded that “times have changed” since then. We see, with regret, the marks of decay which now surround the spot, and can- only wish that wc could meet there at evening and by Moon light, as we wero wont to do in the halcyon days of peace (it is known that wo have not much peace now) before the war. But our fine horses are gone—our mules are busy on the farm—our negroes arc their own negroes—our buggies aro rickety—our sweet hearts are busy at home, and we men folks have to be where the plows aro, and as we have not the heart to harness a jaded mule to take a ride, we have to be contented with visiting the Spring but once a year, aud that is when the Agri cultural Society meets there in August.— Then we have the pleasure of meeting with the farmers from all parts of the District, and gain valuable information on agricultural matters. All agree, however, that wc have up to this time failed to learn how to “ex tract blood from turnips, 1 ’ or get full work out of our laborers. F.xcusc this digression, and return to the Spring.

And what is worse, some shameless wight, Forgetting love and what is right, Thy beauteous columns hath defaced, Aud doggerel lines with pencil traced.

The ant is a menny footed insekt. They live about five thousand five hun dred and fifty of them (more or less) iu the same hole iu the ground, and hold their pro perty in common. They have no holy days, no eight hour system, uor never str ke for any higher wa- ges- Thcy are very cheerful little toilers, and and have no malice, nor back door to their hearts. There iz no sedentary loafers among them and you never see one without a job. They git up orly, go tew bed late, work all the time, and eat on the run. You neversee two ants arguing sum phool- tsh question that ucithcr of them don’t un derstand; they didn’t karo whether the moon iz inhabited or not, nor whether a fish weighing two pounds, put into a pail ov wa ter already phull, will make the pail slop over or weigh more. They ain’t running and a hunting after the philosipher’s stone, nor getting crazy over the cause of earthquakes. They don’t care whether Jupiters is thirty or thirty-five millions of miles up iu the air, nor whether the earth bobs around on its ax is or not, so long as it don’t bob over their korn krib and spili their barley. They are simple, little bizzy ants full ov faith, working hard, Dviug prudently, com mitting no sin, prazeing God by minding their own bizzuess, and dicing when their time comes, tew make aootu for tho next crop of ants. They aro n reproach to the lazy, an en tile visoious, and a study U, the Christian. If you want tew take a lesson in arkitiek- turc, go and set. down bi the side ov their hole in the ground, and wonder bow so men ny kan live so thick. If your pashuns need consolation, watch the ants and be strengthened. If a man had tadded to his capacity) the pashuns and grit ov these atoms of animated natur, every mountain ou the buzzum of the art’u would, before this, hare been leveled, and every inch of surface would scream with fruitfulness and countless lots o huieon critters would hcv been added tew the in habitants of the universe, and bin fed ou corn and other suss. I Have «ot by the half down neaii the not bil) .p.-g^rd : hav won dered at their L ... H ’ > he thought how big must be the jackass who was satis fied to believe that even the ant, least ov the bugs; could have been created, made bizzy, aud sot to work by chance. Oh; bow T do pity the individual who be lieves that all things here are the work of an aksident! He robs himself of all plez- zure on earth and tall right in heaven. I had rather be an ant (even a humble, bandy-legged, profane, swearing ant) than to look upon the throw of the dice. Ants are older than Adam. Man (for very wize reasons) warnt built until all other things were finished and pro nounced good. If a man had been made first, he would have insisted upou finishing the job. He probably would have objected to having enny little, bizzy ants at all and various other objeckshuus would hav biu offered, equally greou. I am glad that man wuz the last thing made. If man hadn’t been made at all. you would never hare heard me find enny fault with it. I haven’t ranch faith in man, not because lie kan’t do well, but because he won’t. Ants have bye laws, and constitushun, The Ohio Governor of South Carolina, is I au ,i they mean something. Their laws aint like our laws, made with a hole in them, so that a man can steal a boss and ride thru them on a walk. They don’t hav any whiskey ring, that is virtewous ; simply bekause it hooks by the niiliyuu, and then legalizes its own aekts. They don’t have cnirv legislators that yu kan buy, nor enny judges, laying around ou | ;hc half shell, reddy to bo swallered. Old Etoys. Uncle Jack is at once the butt, the play, fellow aud an tier at of the youngsters. He is tho victim of all their practical jokes, and good naturedly expresses the same surprise and discomfiture the twentieth time a trick is played upon him that he did at the first. Yet notwithstanding he is so easily imposed upon, Uncle Jack is not deficient in talents, for Jfaster Harry declares that he can beat the biggest boy in school spinning tops and and rigging kites ; and lie ia absolutely in dispensable at Christmas parties and family pic-nics. The truth is, though Uncle Jack’s head is getting bald, and crow’s feet have gathered about the corners of bis eyes, he has neverquitc out-grown his school-boy pro pensities, and that is just the reason why he is such a jolly boy. There is more pure ani mal enjoyment, more uncloggcd, unquestion ing happiness in a sound, healthy school boy than in ony older unit of God’s creation. School-boys are born wags, every soul of them ; and there is a healthiness, a thorough ness, in their meriment, that is refreshing to the souls of us poor way-worn, time-tossed mortals, who have begun to descend the western slope of life. It is true, they arc often sad little vagabonds, who will say irrev erent things about Aunt Jemima’s chignon, and take undue liberties with the squire's fruit trees, and are sometimes detected on Sunday mornings playing marbles behind the garden wall, instead of hastening eager ly to church, like tho good boy in the Sun day-school book ; but for all that, the man who does not feel himself happier and better for watching a group of school boys at play, is a hard-hearted churl; the old lady who •» n n W W«» Tv! n rv* a *» V./a ^ L » J. ♦ ^ home for the holidays, is a shrew aud a scold. Christmas romps lack half their meriment, and tho Christmas turkey loses half its fla vor, if there is no school-boy present to share them. The jolly old boy feels all this—in deed, be is himself a sort of grown-up school boy, enjoying perpetual holiday; his heart never grows old, so he is always a congenial companion for the young. It is this per petual youth of the soul that distinguishes old boys from other men, and gives to a cheery green old ago the charm of unfading freshness, like some vig irons bay tree, whose foliage glows with summer tints beneath the cold gray sky of winter.—A/A Ccuturjf.

Plain Talk.—The negroes of Lexington Kentuckey, had a meeting recently and laid down the following platform, which, if re duplicated in South Carolina, would wak« up snakes: Wc black Radicals are on a perfect equal ity with white Radicals. The negroes in this district hold the bal ance of power, and will dictate terms to the Radical party to suit themselva. The negroes are strong enough to say and will say, what shall and what shall not be done to the party. The white Radicals are only camp-followers of the negroes and fcangers-ou their power ful coat tails. Negro candidates must and shall have places on the Radical ticket for the August election. Negroes were as weil prepared to hold office now as they ever would be, and were fully determined to hold them, and if the white Radicals did not like it they could help themselves the best they could. The negroes constituted )tlie true Radical party, and they wanted no weak-kneed white Radicals in their party, and they wanted all such to get out at once aud give place to white men who would acknowledge straight out their equality with the negro and then act it out. * The heads of Kentucky darkica are level. They evidently want to know whether Rad icalism is a humbug or not. During a Wyoming murder trial, tho mur dered man appeared in the court alive and well. The trial, however, went on, and tho jury brought in a vrrdict of guilty. “How’s this ?” says the judge, “there lias been no murder : the jury is convinced that the pris oner did not murder this man, but. he is a ll «14 4 V. , Mt««4 •• V CK «v. • ~ — ‘ci e> necessary for the peace of the country.

A ghost drove an entire family tumultu ously from a house in Oswego at a late hour a few nights since.

The late General Assembly repealed the township law and of course wiped all tho township officers out of existence. It failed to make any other provision fi r the drawing of juries. So that, even it the time for holding the Court were fixed, we see no means by which petit juries can be organ ized. About the Grand Jury there is no difficulty, as the persons drawn to servo in that capacity at the January Term, are re quired by law to serve twelve months.
