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.

Daniel Bryan'a Oath. :
Most of the temperance stories of the day
are week and washy dilutions of the pre

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

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. Dan
iel, I do sioccrly hope that tbe first intelligence
Ibat reaches mo from my native place,
after I have reached my new home, may be
?that-g-you?are?dead /"
41 Stop, Moses, I can reform."
"You cannot?it is beyond your power.
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. Moses here her to the bed, and
then having called in a neighbor, he hurried
away, for the stage was waiting.

Mary was Lis help.

had been indicted for forgery. / Felton started

the words you spoke to mo about a year

"I do Daniel."
' Will you take Uieru back?unsay them

"Yes, with nil my heart.11
" I then am in part repaid."
"And what must be the remainder of the
payment! askc-d Moses.
" 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.

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 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 ??

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.?
This, now, again, is blackthorn, or privet?
yes, privet; you tnay know it by the divisions
in the panicles: that's no tea-leaf.'?
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

Byron's Potations.?To return to his
drinking propensities, after this digression
about bis gymnastic prowess. 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 then put in two spoonfuls, and be

Banking Profits.
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 samo way 1
those of the Bank of Newberry (each of its two
being $15,000,) arc $30,000 per annum, instead s
of $180,000. 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. Their
eross profits, therefore, usually range from 0
to 18 per ecnt a year, and iu one or two in
stanec3 more. I

crossed the Warrior river at tlio closo of a
campaign, at Carthage, in Tuscaloosa coun- i
ty. 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- ,

worse was in store for tlietn. A nuarter- !

A Correspondent of tlio Educational
Journal llius alludes to one of the greatest
evils oftlieday. 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.
"When yon are disposed to be rain of
your mental acquirements, look up to those
who*are more accomplished than yourself, J
that you may be fired with emulation; bu,
when you feel dissatisfied with vour circumt i
, stances, look down on those beneath you
that you may learn contentment.
