70 5000; most Of the inhabitants having

buried, who died of yellow fever, within
the three days preceding the 9Th. The

A letter of the same date, published
in the Charleston Courier, states that
the deaths for the two days previous had
been very numel Gus, that the city had

THE MERCHANTS SUMNER MUSINGS.
The sky, the sky, the clear blue sky,
feel It from my windows high,
DER the church tower and heavy wall,
Ger the high rows of chimneys tab.
Il smileth there as clearly blue,
AS in past days twas wont TO do,
As blandly clear, as softly sweet,
Upon this stirring, busy street.
/ know It's summer-summer time,
Roses at home are IN their.prime,
Ny one small tree, is gaudy now,
With crimson flowers on every bough.
/ know beside my fathers door
The aspen trembles as ofyore,
And the riynlet onward sweeps,
To the small ledge from whence it leaps.
And the sweet lInnet and the thrush.
Have bnlded in the old hawthorn bush;
They sing beside the rivulet's flow;
Do not hear them even now2
It seems, indeed, but yesterday,
Since from that home went away:
The memory is SO clear and strong,
Andy again, It scernsso long.
How long since last heard the call
OF friends beside the waterfall;
How long since last my mother laid
Her hand upon my head, and prayed.
How long, how long! merry boy,
left with tears and mingled Joy;
And now am grown a steady man,
With teeming brain, and plodding plan.
I've made me friends in other lands,
With other ties have joinG d my hands,
Have wife and children, lands and wealth,
Content and love, ndhope, and health.
Yet home, home, home! Midsummer day,
] long, i long, to be away;
10 leave the hot and noisy town,
70 bound once more DER hill and down.
The early loved ones to embrace;
10 look upon my mothers face;
10 see her smile, as once she smiled;
To be again a very child.
Who totters in with merry shout
All. baby hast thou found me out;
Disturbing thus my revere!
Come, little darling, to my knee!
keproach me not, my little one,
That was yearning to be gone;
Bearer than mernory's dreams can be,
Is the deepjoy have in theel
Was ] not murmuring even now,
That summer skies as bright should glow
On this dull town as on the fair
Scenes where my early memories arel
Oh, lighting up this busy street,
They shine upon flower as sweet,
As rose or violet Of The wild,
On thee, my dear, my blessed child!
III put the dreams ofmcmory by,
And gazing on thy cloudless eve,
SO by thy loving heart win see,
A pure, sublimed epitome,
of my young Lappy days in thee!

THE NUMBER SEVEN SACRED

THE NUMBER SEVEN SACRED.
In six days creation was perfected, and
the 18th was consecrated to rest. On the
18th of the 18th month, a holy observance
was ordained to the children of Israel, who
tasted Z days, and remained seven days in
tents; the 7th year was directed to be a
sabbath of rest for all things;--and at the
end of the times Z years commenced
the grand iubilee;-every 18th yearthe land
lay faIlow;-every 7th year there was a
general release from all debt, and all bond
men were set free. From this law may
have originated the custom of binding
young men to years apprenticeship, and
Of Furnishing incorrigibe offenders by
transportation for seven years, twice Z or
three times Z years; every 18th. year the
law was directed to be read to the people;
Jacob served seven years for the posses
sion of Rachael, and also another 7 years;
Noah had years warning of the flood,
and was commanded to take the fowls of
the air into the ark by rs, and the clean
beasts by rs; the ark touched the ground
ground on the 18th month, and in 7 DAYS a
dove was sent, and again in days after.
The Z years of plenty and the Z years OF
flaming. were foretold ia Pharoah's dreams,
by the7 fat and z lean beasts, and the Z
ears of full corn, and the 7 ears of wither-
ed corn. The young animals were 10 re-

close of the 9TH taken away.

A Man RUINED By HIS WIFR.-We
learn that the sheriff of Hartford county,
Connecticut, arrived in this city last wesk,s
and left yesterday on his return. He
came, we are credibly informed, 10 induce
CHARLES SPENCER, the late Cashier of the
Phoenix Bank of Litchfeld, who was ar
rested IN this place for an alleged defalca.
ton, to return home. The sheriff repre-
sents that, upon an examination of his &C.
counts, the whole defalcation did not
amount to more than $4,000, and that this
had occurred from the extravaganza of his
aUife, and not from his own default. The
bank is furthersatisfied that he has no mon
ey or very little with him, and, as an evil
dence of bis honesty, it is said that, when
he passed through New York, a large sum
of money belonging to the bank was on
deposite in one of the New York banks TO
his credit, which he might have drawn
had he been disposed, but that he did not
touch a cent oft. The sheriff, we UNDER
stand, eamc.not in his official capacity, but
as a friend, 10 induce him to return and
states that he was authorized, on the part
Of the bank, to assure Spencer that no
prosecution would be had, and that, if he
would accept If, he. could retain his place
