Biographical Sketch of Lowndes.
The following sketch of it lamented statesfnan
of tliis State, William Lowndes, is fioin I
the "Constitutional History of tho United
States," by William A. Cocke, E<q.:
It is proper that a passing notice should !
be taken of the (Kn h of distinguished men,
whose memory it should ho tho duty and
delight of posterity to notice and cherish.
Under these feelings I advert to the death
of William Lowndes, representative from
the State of South Carolina. Ho was, con
structivelv, a member of tho House at the i
time of his death, his resignation on account
of ill health not having readied the Executive
of the State at the time of its occuronce.
Ilis colleague, James Hamilton, jr.,
Announced tho melancholy intelligence.?
Ho paid a rich and glowing tribute to his
talents as n ?l#l?cmnn onrl lno viftii.i 1...I

llouso of Representatives, where lie Ii.mi i
won an exalted rcputntjpn as a statesman, !
and endeared hims'fllfflorlhe members with I
whom lie had served, by spotless honor and !
incorruptible integrity. Alter Hamilton i
had finished his few remarks Win. S. Ar- i
chcr, of Virginia, himself universally re-pee- I
fed for his talents and learning, to which :
he united a public character not only unrcproachable,
but beyond the slightest breath
of calumny or slander, offered to the memory
of his friend and companion one of the
truest anil most philosophic tributes ever
paid tlio character of departed worth and
honor, in which ho said ; "Panegyric, on
this occasion, was indeed, rendered unnecessary
by the settled feeling and opinion of
this country in relation to Mr. Lowndes,
lie had been for a considerable time conspicuously
before the public, a part of that
timo comprehending a very trying period I
of our histoiy, and the*" judgement of the
public had been awarded in relation to him.
lie was already ranked with the eminent
names which had passed by and consecrated
to national respect. Ilo was already
raiiKcu as a man superior m worth, as lit! (
was in mind? as one of the |>nr??st and ablest,
and most faith fill or the statesmen who
might claim from our country the mood of
honor, as combining a largo share of the
liighets titles to human'defeienco and estimation,
talent and public service, and virtue."
Archer continued for a 'while his eulogy on ;
Lowndes, free from excessive Unitary, and ,
repulsive laudation of Congressmen, at all !
times too common among public men, bill ]
remarkable as a beautiftfl, ethical discourse, j ;
in which the high inoral character of j 1
Lowndes is presentdQi.ih the t'. >ught and |

Shakespeare and his Orthodoxy.
| The biographers of the immortal bard
I have been numerous, bat veiy few of them
have said any thing of bis religious character;
and many, perhaps, may f?el surprised
that one of our brethren in Maine lias proposed
to deliver a lecture on the passages
ofScr'ptore illustrated by Shakespeare. The
poet is usually thought of as being entirely
careless of religion, or as siiuply resting for
eternal happiness on his morality in the lat- ,
ter years of his life. Hut there are two or
three facts which may lend to raise our cs- |
limatioii of the bard on this matter.
We lay here but Utile stress on his beautiful
reference to Palestine in his Ilenty IV.,
"Those holy field*,
Over whose neres walked those blessed feet.
Which, fourteen hundred years ago, were nailed
For our udvnutage oil the bitter eross."
Hut theicarc two facts which go far to encourage
uur ln>pu as to his real Christianity,
ll will be remembered that he entirely a- |
oauuotieu me stage, and left London in 1G10,
hihI retired to St rat ford-on-A von his native
place, where he died in 1G16. During thin
per foil it would seem that he and his family
attended his parish church, where the
Rev. Kit-hard livlield, an eminent Puritan
minister, and lather of (ho distinguished
commentators on the Fpistle to Colossians,
commenced his lengthened ministry in 159G.
Richard II v fluid was a faithful and
energetic minister of Christ, and we hope,
lioth from his charac ter and from the fact
ofShakespearo hei.ig his constant hearer, that
some Christian sympathy existed between
them.
Hut there is another still more hopeful
circumstance. Shake<pear's will was wri- j
ten some two months before his decease, in j
April, 1616;and is remarkable for its protestant
and evangelical character. lie says,
"First, I commend my soul into the hands
of(>od, my creator, hoping, and assuredly
believing, through the merits of Jesus Christ |
my Savior, to he made partaker of lite ever- j
lusting; :iinl nn* body to the earth wherof ,
it is made."
I am disposed, now that the pen
is in my hand to refer to a tradition
in referenceo to tho funeral sermon
delivered for Shakespeare by the church
in; attended ; and I d?> this the more readily,
as I am sure it has not yet been printed, i
A very old ladv, who was a native of that j
neighborhood, told, me, fifty years ago,
that she learnt from her grandmother, who
lit*ard the sermon, that the congregation
in attendance on that occasion
was very large and very serious
in their feelings; that tho preacher
was very animated and eloquent, and that
nfler desreibing the intellectual character of
Shaksp?'are at great length, and having aI'owed
his opinion thai no man sim-e the
lays of the apostle Paul had possessed so
profound an acquaintance with all the diliversified,forms
of human nature, lie burst
into tearPj exclaimed,"Would to God he had
been a divine ?" A wish in which he will
yet have the sympathy of many.? Wutck>iian

Advantage of Trees.
\\ c do not know the author of the following
beautiful ami comprehensive, notice
of trees, but we think its perusal will cause
many of our readers involuntarily and heartily
to respond to the familiar and popular
language of the song "Woodraaffpare that
tree
How beautiful, most beautiful of earth's I
imminent, are trees! Waving out on the j
liillsand in the valleys, in the wild ground or j
Diehard, singly by the wayside, God's spirit '
ind benizun seem to us ever present in trees,
b'or their shade and shelter to man and
arutc ; for the music 'lie. winds make among
Llieir leaves, and the birds in their branches;
for the fruits and flowers they bear to delight
the palate and the eye and the frag
ranee that goes out and upward from them
"orevor, we are worshipful of trees.
"Under his own vine and fig tree"?
ivhat morn expressive of rest, independence
ind lordship in the earth! Well may the
Arab reverence in tlie date-palm a Godgiven
source of sustenance. Dear to the
Spaniard in tlie olive, and to the Hindoo his
bayan,. wherein dwell the families of tnnn,
<nd ihe birds of heaven build their nests.
Without trees what a desert plarc woul-l
be our earth?naked, parched, and hateful
to the eye! Yet how many aro thoughtless
of the use and beauty of trees. How
many strike tlie axe idly or wantonly at
their roots.?Above all other things in the
landscape we would deal gently with trees.
Most beautiful where and as God plants
them, but beautiful even as planted by the
poorest art of man, trees should be protected
preserved.
If he is a benefactor who causes two
blades of grass to grow where one grew before,
how much greater his beneficence who
plants a tree in some waste place, to shelter
mid shade, to draw thither song birds, and
to bear fruit for man. Plant trees, O man,
that hast waste land, and bo careful of those
that are planted.
Immigration-xg America.?It is interest
iiip: to know whence comes our republic,
and the Albi6n, in article Immigration,
says:?"We find that onr fatherland contributed
no less than fifty-five thousand eigbt

Traits in Johnson's Character.
j In an article on the life ami writing of
I Johnson, in the* London Quarterly Review,
| we have tho following sketch of his better
nature :
A few rujjJl speeches sink into insignificance
when compared with a charity which
; was only bounded by his means. 'He
I loved the poor,' writes Mrs. Thrale, 'as I
i never vet bhiv nun nno ?lo? 1 :-1
J ?? ? UJ V?IV VlOU VI*/- X19 UV 9HIU
of Leavitt, lie was 'of every friendless name
(he friend." Besides his in-door pensioners',
ho had a number of out-door dependants,
and when his own funds were exhausted ho
wrote innumerable letters to solioit tho contributions
of his acquaintances. IIo frequently
bestowed all the silver in his pocket
upon tho miserable beings who waylaid him
on his passage from his house to tho tavern
where he dined. Even in his early London
di" '-e would go up at night to the destitute
children who were sleeping upon tho
projecting stalls of shops or on the sills of
doors, and slip a penny into their hands to
buy them a breakfast; 'and this,' adds Mr.
Croker, 'when he himself was living on
pennies.' Sixpence, lie onco remarked, was
then a great sum to him. When it was
useless to bestow half pence upon beggars,
because they only laid it out upon gin and
tobacco, lie energetically exclaimed, 'And
why should (hey be denied such sweetness j
or existence? Lite is a pill which none of j
us c:au hear to swallow without gilding. Yet
for the poor we delight in stripping it still
barer, and are not ashamed to show even
visible displeasure if ever the bitter taste is
taken from their mouths.' lie one night
found a woman of abandoned character
lying exhausted in the street, and lifting her
up lie conveyed her on his back to his own
house, had her nursed till sho recovered
her health, and then obtained her a situation.
A heartless man would have passed
her by, a humane man might have given
Iter money ; but was there any second person
in the whole of the vnst population of
London that would have taken up the forlorn,
diseased and dirty sufferer in his arms
and carried her to his home ? There are
charities which, from their very lowliness,
become sublime. I To avowedly kept only
.?100 of his income for his personal wants,
and Mrs. Thrale calculated that he did not.
in fact, spend more than .?70 or ?80 nt
most. His kindness to dumb creatures
was as conspicuous in its way as his benev
olcnce to men. lie used to go out himself
to buy oysters for his cat, lest if he put the
servants to the trouble, they should take a
dislike to the animal and use it ill.
Edward Eveiiett Says ok the Bwi.e.
? A purt from its direct claims upon our
reverence as the depository of a divine revelation,
we cannot but respect the Bible as
the foundation of our civilization. Strike
from tlie political, moral, and intellectual
condition of modern society, all tliat has
flowed directly and indirectly from this
source, and you would reduce European
and American Christendom to the state of
the barbarous and semi civilized countries,
whose character has been formed or powerfully
influenced by the Koran or other religious
codes of the East. The highest historical
probability can be adduced in support
of the proposition, that if it were possible
to annihilate the Bible, and with it.
all its influences, we should destroy with it
the whole spiritual system of the modern
world?all our great moral ideas?refine-'
mcnt of manners?constitutional government?equitable
administrations of law
and security of property?our schools, hospitals
and benevolent associations?the
press?the fine arts?the equality of the
sexes?and the blessings of the fireside ; in
a word, all that distinguishes America and
Europe from Turkey and Hindostan.

Consolation for the Million.?My
fair j'oung reader, if you are not so perfect a
beauty as peerless Lindamira, Queen of the
Hall; if. at the end of it, as you retire to bed,
you meekly own that you had but two or
three partners, whilst Lindamira lias had a
crowd round her all night?console yourself
with thinking that at fifty, you will look
as kind and pleasant as you appear now at
eighteen. You will not have to lay down
your coach and six of beauty and feee another
step into it, and walk yourself through
the rest of your life. You will have to fore?
go no long-accustomed homage, you will
not witness and own the depreciation of
vour smiles. You will nnLn?H fneliinn
sake your quarter, and rerS^Tn, all dust, and
gloom, cobweb&xvithin your once splendid
saloons, and placards m your sad windows,
gaunt, lonely and to let. You may not
have known any granduer, but you won't
feel anj' desertion. You will not have enjoyed
millions,'but, you will have escaped ]

Upon consultation with our friends of the Abbeville
BdOnrr we have cumo to the following
understanding: That after tbe 1st of April,
next., we shall charge for all subscriptions, not
paid within six mouths $?2,.ri0 and $:( 00 if uot
paid within ono-year. The pressure of the
Times has forced upon us the necessity of urg^i
ing prompt payment upon our Patrons. The
amount, due us for subscription. are separately
small, but in the aggregate swell to a largo
sum, and if not promtly paid, subject us to
great inconveniences. Our payments are cash ;
and we must require our friends to enable us
to meet them.
Experience has also impressed us with the
propriety of charging for Obituary Notices
which exoeed accrtnin leiurih ?ml w<> nlmii
