4 POBTRT. RElEIBBt THE PO«». BY JUHH GREET. Remembor the poor, whatever betide, Nor thruwt them away in anger or pride; Thou knowVt not how eoon dame For tune hereelf May sully thy glory or squander lliy pel£ Oil! think of the poor, now winter is here, With much to discourage, little to clieer, Save what the kind-hearted, from plen teous store, Proffer the starving and desolate poor. Remember the poor: no yule-log have thev. Nor dainty delight to scare sadness away— No wassail to heighten, no merriment rare, Nor stipple domestics the banquet pre pare. But, hearth chill and drear, while, shud dering by, Wan younglings are gazing with epec- tre-like eye; And water, cold water, unmingled have they, Instead of the wine and the festal dis- play. Then think of the poor, whatever betide, rather Nor fright them a way in anger or pride: Ah! then shall kind Heav’n a blessing impart, And light with new lustre thy generous heart. MISCSUAKBOUS. From the Jjadin DejxuUiny. THE PRIZE PIANO. A HOCSKHOLU HKETCH. Along the pavement flies a shadow thrown by the moon light; it follows a man whose eager steps have lead him far in advance of a throng that has just emerged from a public hall. Swifter liecomes his pace, and londer sounds his heel strokes on the liard pavement, till suddenly he tums and springs up a flight of steps- He applies his night key to the lock. It will not work. He becomes impatient nervously jerks the bell wire, and that moment a ser vant opens the door. He s|ieeds to the sitting room, where his wife awaits him, and without stopping to breath ex claims— “O—Anna—if you had onlybc^Ujat the concert—we’ve gqi/ai»* A , J . , a nil,*, 118 TuK "smuii*" •■t.c—rosewood carved— splendid tone, it will be here in the morning.” Then the poor fellow was obliged to take a breathing spell, and Ills wife had no opportunity to express her joy at Ins good fortune. Her husband’s tick et had drawn a very handsome piano at a priie concert. Before ten o’clock the following morning, the instrument was deposited at the door of their neat little parlor. Henry Heber was a lively, trust worthy young man, who had a situation at a salary of one thousand dollars per annum, in a wholesale store on Beari sh He lived in a small but comforta ble house in the western part of the city, which he had built with money his wife brought him. 'fins wife was a prudent woman for one who had not a little fashionable ambition; and with but one child, a promising blue eyed boy, bad just began to prattle, they were getting on swinuuinglv in the world. Anna was delighted beyond telling, with the prize piano; and it real ly was a splendid instrument, in style, not at all in keeping with the furniture of their parlor. After site had drummed on the keys a few minutes, site looked up archly, and said to her husband— “You know I am but an indifferent player, Harry, and if I’m to discourse music for you, I must have some new music books tuid a teacher." “ Certainly, you must have a teach er, and I’ll look out for one to day.— Who would you recommend, Mrs. Brown!” asked the indulgent hus band turning to a lady who had call ed on them to see and hear the prize she hoped to get. “ Well, I hardly know,” returned the lady, “ there are number of excellent teachers in the city, •but I dunk the gentleman recently from Baris, Mr. P., the best His terms are high but my irirls go to him, and they make great proficiency.” “ He played on this piano at the con cert, ami I liked him. I must go to the store now’, but before I come home to tea, I’ll see him.” And with tliese words, Henry hastened to his business. Mrs. Heber had many visitors du ring the day, and all were delighted with the piano; l*ut a number of them thought it would show to better advan tage if the parlor was furnished in th late style. When die husband cam home in die evening, he bro’t to hi wife the “glad tidings,” diat Mr. P. had been engaged, and would give her the first lesson on die following Mon day. In the evening, while a young lady w ho was visidng them sat at the n mo, Anna was thinking of the remark;» her guest had made almut new furniture, and it did not seem to her that their car pet was just such a figure as so splen did a piano should get upon. Henry, l>erhans, was having a similar train of thoughts, for, glancing around the par lor, he remarks— “ That piano puts rather a blush on the furniture.” “ S«i it does,” returned Anna, “ami I’ve been thinking that we ought at least to have a new carpet, and I would like to have it before I commence my les- :i sons.” “ We'll think about it,” answered husband rather indiflerentiy But on the morrow Aima was invi ted to a walk up Unvn, and a handsome eosdy carpet was jiurchased. Mrs. Brown over across the way saw the upholsterer leave it, and when he took his leave she hurried across to Mrs. Hebur’s. She admired it very much. “ It was so liandsotue dial it made the old fashioned center table look wretch ed.” Anna immediately saw the force of this remark, and Henry was not long in finding it out A new center table was forthwith selected to grace the parlor, and as the husband follow ed die carman who conveyed it to his house, he called into a book-store and several splendid bound volumes were ( purchased to lay upon it; and the next evening a solar lamp of the newest pat tern threw from the table a mellow light over the new carpet Mrs. Smith called the next day to see Anna—Her circle of acquaintance was large, and of course there were Smiths as well as Browns within it— 'I'lie lady w as seated en one of the old fashioned chairs, and she soon became very fidgety. “You have got a beautiful piano, Mrs. Heber, a beautiful carpet and a beautiful center-table, but you will ex cuse me if I say these chairs arc hor rible.” Mrs. Smith was a plain spoken w omen as the Smiths generally are—and Anna excused her.—When the lady had bow ed herself out of the door, Anna took a “ calm survey” of her little parlor, and w'as obliged to acknowledge that Mrs. Smith had judged correctly; the style of the chairs was too heavy for that of the piano and table. They were promptly removed, and a set of costly w'orkmanship took their place; : a rich plush sofa followed the chairs, then mantle ornaments, then new win dow curtains, and so on till the parlor was furnished throughout in the latest fashion, One evening when Mr. and Mrs. He ber were at tea, Anna remarked that Mrs. Brown thought that they onght to give their young friends a party.— They had been out a good deal and they had never given one. Their pn- ■ . was now furnished' ,I, r l:*** lof ««ii u»- the fashion and they could give a party as well as not Of course in due time, the party was given, and it was gotten up in ex cellent taste. Every body admired the parlor, every body w'as delighted with the party, and Mr. and Mrs. Heber made many new and fashionable friends. When the guests had retired, Anna and Henry sat together on the sofa.— They seemed well pleased with the con duct of their guests. Anna looked up to her husband with affectionate pride, saying— “ Every one admired our furniture, and all were pleased with our party. This is a nice place Harry. We have not been extravagant but we have a comfortable home.” “ True, a pleasant one,” returned the husband, perhaps a little soberly.— “ The two hundred dollars we had in furniture, and we have made some debts, but our home is so much more inviting, and we have so many more friends, I am not sorry.” “ Besides, Harry, we’ve got along so well; folks expect something from us, and it’s well to make a little display. When you get into business, ns you hope, you’ll do the better for it” “ I agree with you Anna; and by the by, I may as well tell you now, Mr. T. my employer, told me to day that Mr. S. the husband of the woman who did not like our chairs, would be obliged to give us his store, on account of not be ing able to meet notes that T. holds, and he said that if I could make arrange ments with Mr. S. I might have the bus iness and have time to pay the notes. The bnsiness is profitable, and I should do well. In less than two weeks, Henry He ber was installed proprietor of a store. The establishment was forthwith hand somely fitted up: and he commenced business with agiowing prospect. Be fore ho got fairly started, he felt stire ly th<> need of his two hundred dollars which he had buried in his parlor, but his credit was good and he exercised it He had a fair run of custom, and his profits were considerable. H is fash ionable friends tho’t him to be doing well, and he mingled into their compa ny like a lord. Concerts, soirees, ant balls, beside private parties, social ant tusical were frequent Anna’s posi tion required her to attend all of the “ best class,” and heavy expenses were incurred: but Henry was enjoying himself like a prince, till, within a few weeks of the time when his notes came due, business grew slack, and clouds l>«gan to gather in the future. The pres sure continued. His business did not afford him the means to meet his pay menta. He was ruined if they were not met; and he had but one alternative let his friends knew how matters stood, or sell his furnitnre at auction. The sale was made, at a sacrifice to be sure, hut his credit was saved. Their house was leased and Anna and Henry took rooms at the first hotel; this, their position required. Their fashionable friends understood that tliese changes had Keen made because Mr*. Heber CO nto—plated spending the summer at .» fashionable watering place. Six months passed. Henry and bis wife had learned what “fashionable life” was, tind without an entire revulsion of their habits they could not econo mize. They kept up appearances, but every day his business embarrassments pressed harder, till at length he must get help from his fashionable friends, or make an assignment. He applied to numerous ultimate ac quaintances but found that, though they admired his style of living, and relished the dinners he had given— thought him a good fellow at concerts and soirees—if they were to be be lieved, their embarrassments were equal to his; and none could help him to a dollar. He realized the “ popular end.” “ If a man is down give him a thrust; Trample the beggerinto the dust; Breeumptous proverty’squite appalling; Knock him over and kick him for fal ling.” The assignment came and Henry Heber fell, in mercantile phrase, from a merchant to a clerk. In this last act he lost many acquaintances, but no friends. Their house did not go in the wreck, because it was Anna’s property, and they could but occupy it It is fur nished in plain style, with one excep tion—the prize piano. . : ’ a treasure for many reasons. The lessons its his tory teaches are profitable, and its mu sic is profitable; for Anna gives in struction upon it to a number of pupils for the purpose of assisting her husband to make another “start in the world.” Not long since Henry met a friend, who accosted him with— “ Going to the prize concert ?” “Not I.” “ I have been fortunate that way once and that will answer. Come up to my house to-morrow evening, if you draw the prize, and I will give you the history of my piano. It might be a good les- son. The friend was not the lucky ticket holder, but his curiosity being awaken ed, he called on Henry and learned the story which you have lieen tolt^dtjar, reader. Consider. Yt is not a practical |it~~ ason. Dr. But you take a glass of wine or two with your nuts ( Gent Yes; a glass or two. Dr. Well, you do not finish your dinner without whiskey punch? (lent.

I maun say I sleep betterior a glass o’ hot punch, though I caina say I owct fond o’ the habit. Dr. Well, sir, you’re a fine fe|ow! You come to me with a lie in .your mouth, and tell me you are a soberman, and a temperate man, and a detvon of the kirk, as your worthy father, was before you; and you make you/makc yourself out, by your own statearnt, to bo a glutton, and a wine hibhe/ and a whiskey tippler, and a beer swiaer, and a drinker of that most abominable of all compositions, called pujlch. Go home, sir, and reform y©ifself, and become temperate in your eating and drinking, and you will haw no need of my advice. 11F LI E MCE* OF fWE .1.

A wealthy manufacturer from the west of Scotland, while at Edinburg on busi ness called upon Dr. Gregory for his advice. He w as a man of middle sta ture, rather corpulent, w ith a rosy com plexion, whose exterior altogether spoke the comfortable liver. After seat ing himself, the following dialogue en sued: Gentlemen. Well, Dr. Gregory, I ha’ come up to Edinboro’ in the way o’ business, and I just thought I would take your advice about my health. ‘ Doctor. Your health, sir! What’s the matter with you? Gent. I’m not just sae weel i’ lie stomach as I’d like to be. Dr. The stomach! I suppose you are a drunkard or a glutton then, sir. Gent Na, na, Dr. Gregory, ye canna sa that, ye canna say that; ye maun ken that I’m a sober mon and a ten perate mon, and a deacon of the tirk, as my w orthy father was afore me. Dr. Let us see. What do you eat and drink? What do you take far breakfast! Gent I take coffee or tea, wi’ to*t, and a fresh egg, or a bit o’ sal nun, though I have na much ap|>etity for breakfast Dr. Yes; and then you take some thing by way of lunch betw een breqlt- fast and dinner? Gent.

Gent Yes; the gude wife is ower fond o’ them; but I canna say I care much about them. cannot of them selves make him happy; but the pure affeitions of a woman’s heart, are a peremial spring of bliss, to him who properly appreciates them. How many sucA reflections as these, if habitually clie/ished, preserve the hus band from the intoxicating cup, and all those' vices w hich degrade him, and bring wretchedness into the family circle. The forgoing thoughts are beautifully and most impressively illustrated in the following extract from a lecture, by R. Morris: The influence of w omen over the des tiny of /non and nations, has been migh ty in a?f ages of She world. ’The story of Virtie and the band of Roman mat rons, who induced Coriolanus to lay down his arms—the history of Lucre- tia, ©r Virginia, and the daughter of Mar cus Fsbius—were related to prove this truth. An anecdote was related of Robert Barely, who commaded the British squadron at the Battle of Lake Erie. He lost his right arm and one leg in Jiat battle. Feeling acutely that he was a mere wreck on his return to England he sent a friend to a lady to whomhe had been engaged, offering to release her from the engagement- ‘Tell him,’ said the noble girl, “ that I will joy fully marry him if he has only enough of body to hold his soul." .Another anecdote was given of two beautiful and fashionable girls of Phil- adelpha Fifteen yearti ago, they were the most att ractive object of every circle which they visited. They were friends. 'Hie news suddenly came to one of them, that her friend had lieen suddenly seized with the small-pox, that disease so frightful to all beauties. Though rem onstrated with against such a course, she determined to visit that sick lied. Her heart told her she ought to go,*’—and she did go—and hour by hour, day by day, night by night, sat by the side of her suffering friend. That friend recoverd, and the noble hearted girl escaped con tagion. Such a noble and heroic act would plead with the tongue of an an gel before the ribunal of a just and true God. Another thrilling stoiy was related of the young wife waiting by the bedside of her sick husband—a tale of truth. It was the night on which the physician had said the disease must reach its crisis. How intensely did she watch those fea tures through the entire night—count every breath, and note the slightest mov- ihat sort, | cment She finally sees with delight I that he has fallen into a deep sleep, thftt his forehead was moist, the fever had lieen broken. She falls upon her knees and prays long and fervently. When she rose the husband slept, and a ray w hich came through the half closed windows, lay still upon his forehead; a promise, she thought, that the day of his recovery was at hand, And he did re cover, but die gentle wife was doomed to pay the penalty of hwunwearying at trition ; the moment that dated the pe- nod of hia recovery, also marked that of OCT 'Fhe Young man who was cross ed in love last w eek says if it were not for getting wet he would drown him self! He w ill probably compromise mat ters by shooting himself in a looking glass. When a man starts for California he calls the Country El Dorado; when he comes back he calls it H’El Dorado. 0^7“ If you would be rich think of saving ns well as getting. Prospoctns OF THE Palmetto-Stato Banner. THIS Journal, the first number of which appeared on the 3d November, 1846, has since its commencement, steadily advoca ted the principles then announced by it, as those which should actuate its conductors, and the Proprietor refers to its columns as the beet criterion of the correctness of hie assertion. For the extensive patronage already accorded him. the Proprietor feels deeply grateful and to those new subscri bers who may bo induced to favor him with their support, he can only say, that no diligence, no effort, no expense consis tent with his means, anil the purpose of his Journal, will be spared in procuring for It such matter as will be useful and entertaining. The Palmetto-State Barker aims to be the exponent of true Democratic prin ciples—Democratic according to the strictest construction of the State-Rights school; and for these reasons it is in Fede ral polities for the Constitutgin of the Un ited States, and against Free-soilism, So cialism, Barnburning and Abolitionism; and as decidedly, in State Politics, against the disorganizing notions that would up root cur good OM Institutions; and especi ally does it deprecate the destruction of our Banking system, whether of the State, or the private Institutions, as mischievous —nay, as ruinous to the industrial classes, inasmuch as the destruction of the Bank of the State would tend to put the people in the hands of the other Banks and the money-power, and on the other hand the destruction of private Banks would dis turb the equilibrium of that good old and long-tried system of currency that has made South Carolina the envy of the States; it advocates consequently th? pre servation of all. In the Editorial Department, the sub scriber has associrted with him Mr. Alex- asoek Carroll, and pledges himself that no exertion shall be wanting to render this Journal interesting in every department. As an evidence ofbis spirit of enterprise the Proprietor intends presenting his rea ders with a greatly enlarged sheet, afford ing them fully one additional page of inter esting reading matter, thus rendering it the largest weekly paper in this State, and with but few exceptions, in the United States. The 1’alnetto48ta*e Baknsr is published at the office in Columbia, eve ry Tuesday, in time for the morning mails.
