An establishment has been purchased by

An establishment has been purchased by order of the Legislature of South Carolina, about mile from Charleston, to be called the Cattle Farm, the design of which is to afford to raisers of stock of every description, an opportunity of obtaining fair price for their animals, by furnishing place ot general ren- devous, where sales may be effected with proper deliberation. Substantial pens With some covered stalls in each division, are erected on the farm, and means provided tc supply each pen separately with water, and grain can be had on the place at the market prices. The pens are free of charge. Thi: is patriotic act of the Legislature of that State, and must be productive of essential be- nefit to Charleston. We seldom experience such marks of confederation from ours.--Sa- uannah Georgian.

 That sinks intn the sullen soul of vice
 And wins him o'er to virtue. HTison
 ily iather's house once more. In its own moonlight beauty! Yet around, Something, amidst the dewy calm profound
 Broods, never mark'd beiorei
 Is it the breeding night2 Is it the ahivery creeping on the air, That makes the home tranquil and SO fair
 Overwhelming to my sightf
 All soemnized it seems, And std, and durken'd in each time-worn hue, Since the rich clustering roses met my view,
 As snow, by starry gleams.
 And this high elm, where last stood and linger'd-where my sisters made Our mothers bower-I deem'd not that it cast
 So far and dark shade
 How spirit like tone Signs through yon tree My fathers place was there At evening-hours, while soft winds waved his hair Now those grey locks are gone
 My soul grows faint with fearl Even as if angel steps had marked the sod.
 Is it indeed the night That makes my home so awful Painless hartedf 'Tis that from thine own bosom hath departed
 The in-born gaddening light!
 No outward thing is changed Only the joy of purity is fled, And long from Natures melodies estranged
 Thou hear'sttheir tones with dread.
 Therefore, the calm abode By Thy dark spirit is o'erhung with shade, And therefore, in the leaves, the voice of God
 Makes thy sick heart afraid
 The night flowers round that door, Still breathe pure fragrance on the untainted air; Thou, thou alone, art worthy no more
 To pass, and rest thee there
 And must turn awayl -Harli. hark-it is my mothers voice hear. Sadder than once it seem'd-yet soft and clear
 Doth she not seem to pray7'
