Til* Hope that Breathes of Spring. Leaf by leaf the roses fall? Drop by drop the spring runs dry ; One by one boyond recall, Summer beauties fade aud die ; But the roses bloom agnin, And tho spring will gush anew In the pleasant April rain, And the summer's sun aud dew. So, in the hours of deepest gloom. When the springs of gladness fail, And the roses in their bloom, Drop like maidens wan and pale, We shall find some hope that lies Like a silent germ aparti Hidden far from careless eyes, In the garden of the heart. Some sweet hope, to gladness wed, That will spriDg afresh and new. When griefs winter shall have fled, Giving place to sun and dew ; Some sweet hope that breathes of spring, Through the wenry winter time, Budding forth its blossoming, In the spirit's silent chime. The Beam of Devotion. I never could find a good reason Why sorrow unbidden should stay. And nil the bright joys of life's season Be driven unheeded away. Our care3 would wnke no more emotion, "Were wo to our lot hut resigned. Than pebbles thrown into the ocean, That leaves scarce a ripple behind. The world has a spirit of beauty, Which looks upon nil for the best? And, while it discharges its duty. To I'rovidence leaves all the rest; That spirit's the beam of devotion, Which lights us through life to its close, And sets, like the sun in the ocean, 1 More beautiful far than it rose. ? GEORGE P. MORRIS. ^ Daniel Bryan'a Oath. : Most of the temperance stories of the day are week and washy dilutions of the pre ,.L..i ii.-r 11 wjuii|q wiiw j uui me lunowjng uas a startling igor. Daniel Bryan, as appears from the | context, had been a lawyer of eminence, but bad fallen, through intoxication, to beggary and a dying condition. Dauicl Bryan Jiad married, in bis better days, the sister of Moses Felton. At length all hope was given up. Week after week would the fallen mau be drunk on the floor, and not a day of real sobriety marked his course. I doubt if another such case was known, lie was too low for conviviality, for "those with whom be would ( have associated would not drink with him. All alone in bis office and chamber he ?i ? vuuuiiucu iv uiiiih, hiiu even uis mo seem cd tbo offspring of bis jug. It was early spr'mg. Moses Fellon had a call to Ohio. Before he set out ho visited his sister. He offered to take her with him, but she would not go. " 13ut why stay here ?" urged the brother; "you are faded away, and disease is upon you. Why should you live with such n fcrutc ?" " Hush Moses, speak not," answered the wife, keeping back her tears. " I will not leave him now, but he will soon leave me ?for he cannot live much longer." At that moment Daniel entered the apartment He looked like a wanderer from the tomb. He had bis hat on and a jug in his hand. "All, Moses, how are you?*' be gasped, for lio could not speak plainly. The visitor looked at him for a few moments in silence. Then, as his features assumed a cold, stern expression, he said with a strong emphasized tone: "Daniel Bryan, I have been your best friend but one. My sister is an angel, but matched with a demon. I have loved you, Daniel, as I never loved mau before; you -were noble, generous -and kind ; but I hate you now, for you are a perfect devil incarnate. Look at that woman She is my sister; she might now live with me in ?onfort, only she will not do it while you are alive; yet when you die she will come to me. Thus do I pray that God will soon give her joys to my keeping. Now.

You have had inducements enough to have " ? reformed half the sinners in creation, and yet you are now lower than ever before.? do and die, sir, as soon as you cao, for the moment that sees you thus, will not find me anions the mourners." Bryan's eyes flashed as he drew himself proudly up. " Go,w he said, with a tone of the old powerful sarcasm, "go to Ohio, and I'H send you news. Go, sir, and watch the post. I will yet make you take back your words." M Never,.Daniel Bryan, never 1" "YousbalJ! I'swear it!" ' With these words, Daniel Bryan hurled his jag in the fire place; and while yet a thousand'pieces were flying over the floor he strode from the house. Mary fainted on the floor.

" I must die an honest, unpurjured man ! The oath that has bound me thus far was made for life." That evening Mary Bryan was among the happiest among the happy. No allusion was made in words to that strange scene of one year before; but Moses could read in both the countenance of his sister and her husband the deep gratitude tbey did no Bpeak. And Daniel Bryaa yet lives, ono of the most honored men in Vermont. Five times lias he sat in the State Legislature, thrice in the Senato. and once in tlm hull* of tlm no. tional Congress. Power of Hindneia. A young school-teacher hail one largo boy, Joe Stanton, who was ringleader of all mischief. The first day ho managed to mako the school a scene of roguery aud confusion. The poor teacher went home with a heavy heart. Tho next day she thought if she could gain tho confidence of this boy, and have hiin on her side, she should huvo hut little truuble with her school. As it closed in the afternoon she spoke kindly to him, asked his help iu closing the school-room door. lie readily complied. As she turned home 1 T - - 1* 11 * w<iiu,.>oe luiiowca. At length she inquired, 'IIave you any sisters, Joseph?' The right chord was touched. 'I bad ore sister,' he said, 'little Mary, but she died ;, and thus encouraged by the ready sympathy of his listener, he went on to tell that Mary was his only sister, and that he used to take care of her, aud play with ber, and carry her out of doors, and draw her in the wagon be had mado for ber, and that she loved him 4 more than any one else did,' and always used to run to the door to meet him when he came home. 'But she is dead now,' he added, 4 and I have not anybody that takes care of me. She bad a fever, and she did not know me when I spoke to her, and in just a week she died, ller grave'is right over here/ he continued, ' and perhaps you would like to see it eome time.' The teacher willingly went with him, asking him still further about little Mary as tbey passed along, till at length'as tbey approached the grave and snt down upon a stone near it, poor Joe could no longer wipe away the tears as he had doue, when one by one they trickled down, for the fountains within were broken up. He covered his face with his hands, and wept aloud. 'She's dead,' he exclaimed again, 'and nobody cares for me now.' I will care for you, Joseph,' said the kind teacher, as she laid her hands upon uio uuw uucoverea Head, and then she spoke to him of heaven, and the happy meeting of those whom death has severed, and of One who cares for us more than all earthly friends, and who will keep us if we wish to do right. Then as he grew calm, and they had risen to go, she told hii$ ok her own eorrow, of the father whom she had lost, of her wish to be useful while she supported herself by teaching, of how hard the WestBrook school seemed to her, and how she still meant to do the best she could for him, and ifor all her scholars. Til help ye, Miss Mason,'1 responded Joe. Til help ye all I can/ and then the old mischievous twinkling coming again, he added, 'I guess the rest of the boys won't trouble you muoh. They'll do pretty much as I want 'em to.* Joe was rfubdued and won by tlie power of kindness. And bard indeed must be the heart that kindness will not win. The Loaf.?Once upon a tirao, during a famine, a rich man invited twenty of the poorer children in the town to his house, and said to them : "In this basket there is a loaf of bread for each of you ; take it, and come back every day at this hoar, till God sends us better times." The children pounced upon the basket, wrangled and fought for the bread, and each wished to get the largest loaf; and at last went away, without even tfiankiog him. Francesca alone, a poor but neatly dressed girl, stood modestly apart, took the smallest loaf whiob was left in the basket, greatfully kissed the gentleman's band, and then went home in ft qniet aod twcomtog manner. "A ooople oi constable?, air f "^pdhftd liquor ahyt^ing to do with ltT 'Tes, sir; Eliza teastjd me to, 1 had to "Bck'W i: m ' ^ A Texts Hotel. "A gentleman, uninitiated in the customs of the country, asked for a nnpkin, and was informed by a likely yellow boy, Only provided for ladies, sir.' " I noticed several of these honored ladies at ' arrayed in the tasteful costume of black barege over white, and enormous colored breast-yin8; their toilets reminded me .very strongly of the baboon's sister in nursery tales, described as wearing 'a dark black frock, and green glass breast-pin.'? None of them, however, excitcd my spontaneous admiration. " After dinner was over, I went to my room for a siesta, and while there, amused myself reading some of the printed rules by which the house was regulated. To assist those whose business it is to render comfortable the travelling public, I will copy one or two of them, viz.:?' Gents request eu noi 10 spit on me walla!' also to 'Keep their boots oft' tho bed-clotlies I' I hope 1 shall not shock any one's refinement beyond recovery by repeating these regulations'; but as they wore there in print, it must bo that 'beings do exist' to whom such warnings are deemed necessary! " I amused myself, aftyr dinner, bv conversing with a crowd of young, round-eyed, woolly-headed darkies, whose teeth 6hone like rows of ripe Indian corn on the cob, atid who, in spite of being as wild and timid as prairie hens, were induced by a small bribe to pour out in choius some of the sweetest, music I ever listened to. Their clear, fresh, untutored voices, blended in perfect horniony as they recounted, in spirited verse, an exciting raccoon hunt, in ucticr lime itian ttio best drilled choruses I had ever heard. An exquisite car for music seems to bo Lho peculiar gift of the negro. They were the property of an old Virginia planter, who had sold his plantation ?n '.is native State, and with liis sons and bans' sons, and there united families, slaves, and household property, were emigrating to Eastern Texas, to settle on the Brazos Iliver, where ho had bought land, and was going to found a new homo for himself and his descendant*. The whole family came with us from New Orleans in the 1 Globe.' One day I sat near the old father on deck, and, Btruck by his venerable, patriarchal appearance, and quaintness of manners,for my private edification entered into conversation with him. lie gave me a erreat deal of valuable information in rprr*r,l w # ~ to the land to which he was bound, and finally asked, ' Misses, whar was you raised?1 I told him in New York. 'It's an awful sinful place,' he grow tied out; 'and was your man raised tliar, too?'?leaving me very much in doubt whether he thought there could be any future hope of salvation for a sinful mortal ' raised' in this modern Sodom 1'' Ionoranck is m.iss.?"Sometimes ignorance is really bliss. It has not added to my personal comfort to know to a descimal fraction what proportion of red earth I may expect to find in my cocoa every morning; to have*become knowingly conscious that my cofi'ee is mixed with ground liver and litmus, instead of honest chiccory ; and that bisulphuret of mercury furtns the basis of my cayenne. It was once my fate to have a friend staying in my house who was one of these minute philosophers. lie used to amuse himself after brenlrfiwl. hn ?? analysis and diagnosis of ihe contents of the tea-pot, laid out as a kind of hortus siccus on bis plate. 4Tbis leaf, now,' be would say, 'is fuchsia ; observe the serrated edges: that's no tea-leaf?positively poisonous.?

A most unconfortable guest be was ; and, though not a bad companion in many ro spects, I felt my appetite improved the first time I sat down to dinner without him. It won't do to look into all your meals with a microscope. Of course, there is a medium between these over-curious investigations and an implicit faith in everything that is set before you. One likes, in the main, though perhaps it betrays a weakness, to know what one is eating. Ilear, on the other side of the question, a recent traveller in China:?'Salted earth-worms,' quotb be, 'which, fortunately, we did not know until toe had eaten them/' That was a true pbilosooher: but we cannot nil to attain to the sublime."

I must say, that, of all b's vauntings, it was, luckily for him, tbe emptiest; that Is, after ho lefi England and bis boon companions, as I know nothing of what he did there. From nil that I heard or witnessed of his habits abroad, ho was and had been exceedingly abstemious in eating and drinking. When alone, he drank a glass or two of small claret i.?i. ?j - t? .. t - ct ui nuch, aim wuen luieriy exhausted at night, a single glass of grog; which wben I raixed it for bim, I lowered to what sailore call "water bewitched," and he never made any remark.

This does not look like an babitual toper. Ilis English acquaintances in Italy were, be said in derision, all milksops.

Tlie Charleston Netca in correcting an crron- ^ cous statement which appcarod in the New- ^ berry Sun with regard to the cxcescivo pro- u fits of the Bank makes the following statement 11 with reference, to their dividends, and the F amount of their gross profits ; F The banks pny unni-nmiual dividends. In 1 their monthly returns the "rates mid amounts 1 of the last dividend'' arc given, and of course " are repeated through Bix "Statements," nl- u though the account of but ono dividend. For s instance ; the dividend of tho Bank of Ham- ( burg for first of January lust ("its last divi- 0 dend") was $25,000?5 per cent, srini annual t or ten per cent, per annum?making tho "profita" fifty thousand a year, instead of over five f hundred thousand dollars.

In the enmo way those of the Bank of Charleston ore $252,801, instead of "31,513,898.64, "and eight percent, instead of * "fifty per cent." Yet these sagacious detectors construed those returns and reports to mean that tho "rates and amounts" of the scini-an- I nual dividends were paid out monthly as bank ( profits and simply because thoy were publish oil uioiit/ili/ in semi annual reiteration of the I ^ same item in the tables ! | Besides their dividends, which usually vary ( in this State from 0 to 10 |>er cent. per annum the banks made enough to pay their expenses, | and also to lay aside sonio "reserved profits" ( 03 a safety fund to meet contingencies.

Tbere he halted and rested for the recruit and refreshment of the sick and woun- ] ded for a few days' The citizens of Tusca- i loosa, then a small village, got up a public dinner to the General. A reputation of , militia officers, armed cup-a-jtie, went to ; Carthage to extend tho invitation to Jackson. They found him busy, on foot, near the main road, dismounted, and with well ; set phrase, their spokesman invited him to the diuner. 'For how many have you made provisions ?' asked Jackson. 'For all my men?' 'No, only for yourself and officers.' Then,' replied the old hero, 'I nor officer of mine will not eat a dinner not provided! for all my boys !' Tbeu turning on his heel j abruptly, lie left them. The poor militiamen were sadly discom- , fitted and morliGed at this rebuff. But ! worse was in store for tlietn.

His remarks are characterized by 60und, practical sense and wc give them our full endorsement: While I have no objection to High Schools, Colleges and an Education, I do not believe that it is neceasarv to granduate all of our sons. We need men to till the earth?practical men. Whilst many good old fathers are moving Heaven and earth to educate their Bons to give thqm position, sending them off to College, moving to towns and cities for that purpose, and incurring heavy expenses and labor: take care. take care, that you do not sow the wind and reap the whirlwind. Take care that you do not feel, whether you express it or not, like the weeping Prophet over incorrigable Israel, "O, that my head were water and mine eyes a fountain of tears, that I might weep day and night" over tbe indescretion and dissipation of my 6ons. Many of those sons would bo valuable at home at work, redeeming lliose old and dismal looking fields from tbe sedge grass, pine bushes, briers and gullies. Such employment would be well calculated to neutralize their ardor, take off the wire edge, promote mind health and contribute much to the sum total of the wealth and greatness of the country, and mako of thorn valuable members of society. Wheat.?We were presented tho other day, I by Capt. A. Tood, of Anderson, with tea large I t--' ? ?<ii>ua ?i ituuv, weigmn^ two ounces. He received about a gill of Turkey Wliite 1 Wheat from the Patent Office last Fall, and showed it in drills about two feet apart. It ' stood the severs frost in the Spring and the hard freezes in the Winter without injury. Gapt Todd thinks it a good wheat for this climate. Some of his friends, who saw the wheat be' fore it was cut, gave it as their opinion that it would yield a bushel to the amount lie sowed. This is a most powerful yield. The grain is i large and-plump. The attention of our farmers is being directed to the selection of suoh varieties of flV*in as are best adapted to oar ' soil end climate.
