turn all the men in the world out of their

will bring it out; just as sassafras tea does
the measles; and if he's a good-for-nothing
sort of a fellow, without no bad traits in
fiertikler, it will bring out all -his greatness,
t affects different people in different wayssome
it maketh rich and happy,? and some
.poor and miserable; and it has a different
effect on different people's eyes?some it

-blind that they can't tell themselves from a*

rum' foolery .that I've beard of for a long

Death of a Half Centary Convict. <
An aged colored man, known by the
name of "Old Bob," who has been an inmate
of the Maryland Penitentiary, since
1810, died at that institution on Wednesday.
The history of this man, and the circuinstauces
attending his conviction and
incarceration have frequently been rehearsed
to the public, and were the subject of comment
by Charles Dickeni, in bis "Notes on
America," a work published after the gentleman
llftH rfltnrnnd fmm ?l-- ?
~ .?V.? limning Clio LUUT
of-this country. He belonged to a planter
of Charles county, who was rather a severe
master, and in 1802 placed him on board a
vessel, with instructions to allow no one,
not even the son of the master, to come on
the vessel, and if any attempt was made to
board the vessel he should strike them on
the head with a handspike. In the evening
following the issuing of tliis mandate, the son
of his master, in company with two of his
associates, approached the vessel and atI
tempted to head her; he was warned not
to come op board, by "Old Bob," who repeated
the instructions of his master, and
added that he jvould obey the orders he had
received. The yO'ung man, regarding the
language of the negro as a jest, rushed
heedlessly forward, and gained a position
on the vessel^; but no sooner had he landed
than Bob picked up the hanrlsnit-n nn,i
knocked him in the head, killing him instantly.
Bob was immediately arrested and
lodged in jail. He was tried for murder
and convicted.' The circumstances of the
case under whiqlj the deed had been perpetrated,
so far secured the clemency of the
Court as to commute his sentence to imprisonment
for life.?Ho was first placed in the
chain gang, where he continued until the
erection of "the Penitentiary, when he was
transferred', to that institution, where he re'mained
until his death on Wednesday.
The period of his confinement was about
fifty-three years, and he was upwards of one
hundred,years old at the time of his death.

No more, no more, aweet summer,
Shall my checks reflect the rose
That flushes o'er thy sunny bower,
And on thy green lap growa.
The skies are blue and cherry?
, Thy meadows rich and gay;
But my heart and eyes are weary,
And my voice repeat*, alway?
Joy is gone !
v '
The robin sings in hedges,
The eagle soar above
'Mongst gray rocks, and mists, and storms
Of their strong and haughty love ;
And I hail them with a rapture
Too Strang for aught but tears;
Yet again a chill comes o'er my heart,
I knew not in past years?
Ever gonej^
The evening airs are soothing,
The morning skies are bright;
But for me the dew is off the grass,
And a blackness, as of night, ,
Darkness the sun's own glory?
Dispels the water's sheen,
And I sorrow for thy e<vrly time?
The white hours that have been?
Loved and gone!
The wind is sighing grandly, . ,
The ocean breakers shout,
And a rainbow spans the heaven*,
'i And a glory leaps about .
From beautiful and gladiomo things,
From musio and from love; '
But my heart sighs for the rapid wings
Of the fond and earnest dove?
Rest is gone I
Yet the earth is bright as ever,
No shadow-dims the skies;
For the only tear now welling
Bedews these heavy. ej-es ;

Sweet joys when I'm away?

Evangelical Lutheran Synod of South
Carolina and adjacent States. ,
This ecclesiastical body held its thirtysecond
session at Bethlehem Church, in
Newberry District, commencing on the 8th
instant, and adjourning the 14th.
The attendance of both clerical and lay
delegates was nearly full.
The Rev. J. B. Anthony was elected Prcsi
dent lor trie usual terra of two years;
Rev. J. P. Margart, Recording, and Rev. L.
Eiekelbcrgor, re-elected Corresponding Secretary.
The contributions for missionary nnd
other benevolent purposes were unsually
largo.
Reports on the extension of the church
in buildings and congregations, besides increase
of numbers in those heretofore existing,
were very gratifying.
Three young men, "graduates of the institution
at Lexington, having served their
time as Licentiates, were ordained to the
Gospel ministry, and two recent crraduates
were licensed to preach.
The exceedingly generous proposals of
Newberry and Walballa, to have the Classical
Theological Seminary removed from
Lexington to one of those places, excited ;
no little interest.
Their claims fay sccnery^salubrity and
continued support were ably sustained,
while the friends of'Lexington wore not deficient
in their commendable effort* to retain
it, '
On the question of removal, it was decided
in the afflrmatiye, by 35 to 20. ' On
that of location, it was decided in favor, of
Newberry. Such being the voice of a large
majority, all personal and local prejudices
were Ret aside by a unanimous vote to promote
its best interests. ' -'"V
A commute was appointed to procure
plans arid estimates for building, to select
the site, obtain a .new charter with the necessary
powers, gain such information, and
take the preparatory steps for a removal,
reporting to the present Board of Directors,
who will carry oat the resolutions of tbe
Synod as soon as all the requisitions essential
to A removal have been complied "witji,

Horrible Affair.
An esteemed correspondent sends us the
following which we lay before the reader :
Am sib who was raised in the edge of
North Carolina, adjoining Lancaster Distriot,
of this State, married last winter a
daughter of Joseph Lewis in the upper part
of this (Lancaster) District.

Tberreuleft privately. Some time during
the preafnt fail, bia wife, who bad returned
to her parental roof, received a letter from
her husband, postmarked Tennessee, and
welhtu Salesberry post office., ^
Sinool which time nothing has been
known M Therrell, until yesterday (Sunday)
his Mower-in-law, Mrs. Lewis, took a 'little
son sotttfe twelve years old on a horse behind
hofto ride out a few miles to 'visit a
daughtef in North Carolina, and when
some tvfp miles from home they saw a man
running through the woods with a rifle
gun on his shoulder. This man run out into
the.roftd just ahead of them and proved to
be her ion-in-law Therrell, and looked as
though.lie had run a considerable distance.
He made some apology for intercepting
them in .this manner^by saying that hq. had
mistaken her for her daughter (his wife) and
asked Mrs. Lewis when she was going home
and on being answered that she would return
thai aftprnnnn ho rnniinnfo/1 Kiai- (nil
bis wife on her return to meet him that evening
at a specified place, that he wanted to
have a falk with her before he went away
again, t(jat he expected to leave that same
night of next morning. Mrs. Lewis being
alarmed at this unexpected meeting, the
agitated: manner of Therrell, a*nd the rifle
gun on^ Spncjay, hastily promised a compliance'
with his request, and rode on to
where her daughter lived.
Having left at home Therrell's wife Cornelia,
and her (Mrs. Lewis') oldest son Ediqund
together with a young man in the
neighborhood who seemed to-have been
visiting Edmund as an associate.
On old Mr. Lewis' return about 4 o'clock
r. M. ana wnen she was within sight of her
house, the heard a gun Are off apparently
at the house, at which 6he quickened her
pace and reached the yard she left her horse
and was proceeding hurriedly into the house
when she again eucouutered Therrell, coming
round the house with the rifle still on
hi3 shoulder, site asked Lira what that shooting
meant, but received no answer and
seeing no one else about she ran into the
housd, found her son Edmund sitting by the
fire cross legged with a book open on his
lap erect in his chair, (witU;no traces of any
disturbance having taken place,), perfectly
dead, shot through the head with a rifle or
pistol. This sight brought a scream from
the old lady, at which her daughter, Ther-1
roll's wife came in, she having apparently
been walking out, alone at the time. Cornelia
on seeing her dead brother, likewise
screamed with terror, in the meantime Therrell
hearing his wife in the house ran in,
seized her violently and started for the door,
Blie screaming and be dragging her forward.
Mrs. Lewis and her little son immediately
set out to alarm the neighbors, and on their
return, accompanied Dy neighbors they
found all silent and th6 corpse alone.
P. S.?Since receiving the above we
learn from the^. Magistrate acting as Coroner,
that the verdict of the jury of inquest,
found the said Then-ell guilty of the murder
of the young man Edmund Lewis.

A little girl, in a family of my acquaintance,
a lovely arid precious child, lost her
mother at an age too early to fix
the lovely features in her remembrance.
She was as frail as beautiful, and as the bud
of her heart unfolded, it seemed as if won
by that mother's prayers to turn instinctively
heavenward. The sweet, conscientious,
prayer-loving child was the idol of
the bereaved family. She would lie upon
the lap of the friend who took a mother's
care of her, and, winding the wasted arm
about her neck, would say : "Now tell me
about mamma?" And when the oft-told
tale had been repeated would softly ask,
"Take mo into the parlor, I-want to see my
mamma ** Tlin runnuct ? ???? J -

and the affectionate child would lie for
'hours, contentedly gazing on her mother's
portrait. But
"Pale and wan she grew, and weakly?
Bearing all her pain so meekly,
That to them Bhe still grew dearer,
As the trial hour drew nearer."
That hour had come at last, and the weeping
neighbors assembled to see the little one
die. The dew of death was already on the
flower as its life sun was going down. The
little chest heaved faintily?spasmodically.
"Do .you know me, darling?" sobbed
close in .her ear the voice that was dearest;
but it awoke no answer.
All at once a brightness, as if? from the
upper world, burst over the chsld's colorless
countenance. The eyelids flashed open, the
lips parted, the wan cuddling hands flew up,

she looked piercing into the far above.
"Mother," she cried, with surprise and
transport in her toue?and passed with that
breath into her mother's bosom.
Said a distinguished divine, who stood
by that bed of joyous death:
"If I had never believed in the ininistra- '
tion-of departed ones before, I could not
doubt it now 1"

I _ A Young Tobacco Ohewor Cured.
r\~ 1 1 -?-t- j
\ju uumu miip, oue aay, we were stowing
the hammocks, when one of the boys
came with his hammock on his shoulder,
and as he passed, the first lieutenant perceived
that he had a quid of tobacco in
his mouth.
"What have you got there?" asked the
lieutenant, "a gum-boil? Your cheek is
much swollen." "No, sir," replied the boy,
"there's nothing at all the matter." "O !
there must be; purhaps it is a bad tooth.
Open your mouth and let me see."
Very reluctantly the boy opened his
mouth, which contained a large roll of tobacco
leaf! "I see I see," said the lieutenant,
"poor fellow! how you must suffer!
Your mouth wants' overhauling, and your
teeth cleaning. Pwish we had a dentist
on board: but, as we havo not, I will operate
as well as I can. Send the armorer up
hero with his tongs." When the armorer
made his nppearauce with his big tongs,
the boy was compelled to open his mouth,
while tho tobacco was extracted with this
rongh instrument. . - .
"There now!" said the lieutenant, uI'm
euro that you must fool better "already.
You i^ever could hav'o any appetite with
each stuff in your mouth. Now captain
oM^ejafter-gua'd, bring a picce of old can- v
some sand, clean his teeth nicely."
The captain of. the after-guard came for? 4
ward, and grinning from ear to ear, put the 1
boy's head oetween his knees, and sorubbed ]
his teetji with canvass and sand for two or !
three minutes.
"There, that will do," said the lieutenant, ]
"Now, my little fellow, take some water
and rinse oat your mouth, and you will '
enjoy your breakfast. It was impossible
for you to hare eaten anything > with your
mouth in snob a filthy condition. When. 1
you are troubled in tfie same way again, i
oorae to me, and I will be your dentist" 1
The lad was completely cured, by the ridi- '
cuie of this occurrence, of the habit of
tobacco-chewing.?dCaptain Marry ait, .. .
