WOMAN.
0 how bright So
Camden, S. c., 1889.

Is woman in her beauty; she combines
All charms possessed of nature; the light cloud
Wreathing its folds across the smiling blue,
Is not more graceful than her gliding step,
The gem is not more brilliant than her eye,
The birds note more melodous than her voice.
She is shrine where man should bow him down,
Forgot his paltry mean soul'd love Of self;
And in the sunlight Of her purity,
See the dark shadows of his own vile heart.

Miscellaneous.

A Sister.---He who has never known a
sisters kind ministraton, nor felt his heart
warmed beneath her endearing smile and
love beaming eye, has been unfortunate
indeed. 1t is not to be wondered at il
the fountains of pure feelings flow in the
bosom of that man but sluggishly, or i
the gentler emotions of his nature be lost,
in the stener attributes of mankind.
"That man has grown up among kind,
aft .ctionate sisters" / once heard a lady
of much observation and experience re-
mark.
Sand why do think so?" said I.
because of the rich developement of
all the tender feelings of the heart"
A sisters influence is felt in manhood's
ripper years, and the heart of him who has
grown cold in its chilly contact with the
world, will warm and thrill with pure en-
joyment, when some accident awakens
within him the soft tones, the glad melo-
dies of his sisters voice, and he will turn
from purposes which warped and false
philosophy had reasoned into expediency,
and even weep for the gentle influences
which moved him in his earlier days.
No Work after Supper.---Do you re-
member the anecdote once told you of
the great Miss C., who undertook
the management of some of her land!
She thought herself clever enough to
manage John Chawbacon and the rest of
them; 50 one day she stood by when John
was at his dinner he did not make
the worse dinner for that. Now, knowing
the elasticity of Johns stomach, as he was
rising to his work, time up, she said,
"John, it would save time of coming and
going if you would sit down again and
take your supper" NO objection in the
world,' said John, and down he sits and
instanter dispatches another pound or two,
and drink in proportion, ending with the
ladyship's health and tmany thanks.
"Now then John," quoth the lady Boun-
tiul, "you may 60 to your work.
" Work, man," said John, with a grin,
81 never works, mann after SUPPER" and
so he threw himself down, and in three
minutes slored like plg.---Blachwood.

Sugar Bect.---Mr. Josiah Lee, an en-

His cows are fed on the beet alone, with
out any grain, and the butter produced Isl
of the most superior character. We hope
the farmers Of Berks, will think of these
things, and attend to matter of so much
importance. Seed may be procured in

Gotz and my Werther, certain sensible
friend said to me in warning: "When l

the world, the world will thenceforwand
take care that he shall not do it . second
time" A wide spread name, a high posi-

How solemn sounds all this from the
lips Of a man, who in years, in fame, in
wisdom, in prosperity, exceeded SO far hift
fellow men! What lesson does it teach! !
Goethe says, s'that he would not himself
give up for aught in the world, the belief
in futurity; and he thinks with Lorenzo dc

future life, may be counted as already dead,
but he exclaims, against treating with vuE

ties touched upon with awe; and think

"When a man has lived seventy-fife
years, he must needs think sometimes up.

TEAS IN LoNDoN.-The London Cores
pondent of the N. York Commercial, writes:
"The Garrck and Quebec have brought
670O chests OF tea, an importation OF a. novel
description from the port Of New York
There are many opinions on the question ofthe
admission Of this tea: for home consumption
certainly it cannot be admitted without an or
der from the Treasury, the words Of the act Of
Parliament being, Tea may be imported from
the Cape oil Good Hope and from places east
ward OF the same to the straits of Magellan,
but not from any other place for home con-
sumption" In this state Of the law, it would
appear that the exporters Of this tea from New
York must have mistaken the management OF
such an operat ton, for if the tea be compeieI
10 be exported to Hamburger, or some 9th
er European port, it would have been less ex-
pensive TO have sent the cargoes directly 10
such ports. Should the present condition of
English relations with China be continued for
any very bong time, and the stock of teas be
such in the u nited States as TO render pro6ta-
BILE such an operation the true mode would be
to ship the teas from the American ports to the
Cape of Good Hope, and thence by trans
shipment in English vessels, it would be enter
ed here as English borne tea, and pass at the
regular duty Of Is. Id. per pound, which is the
Indiscriminate duty upon lea. 1t is in this
manner that Brazilian coffee has been recently
imported in very large quantities into England,
at the lower duty of 81. per ID. although the
duty upon coffee direct from Brazil, and from
all other foreign ports westward of the Cape OF
Good Hope, is Is. Sd. per pound; the Brazilian
coffee being, for the evasion of the duty, ship
ped in the first instance to the Cape Of Good
Hope.

smoke was seen slowly ascending from the tall
monument, and as it driiled away, The obelisk

possible motive could have induced this worse

Brock. Brave, courteous and humane To a de-
gree that reminded one of a preur cheUat5er ol

had his life been spared and he continued in

savage allies, the defenders ofou faith who
were surrendering their weapons and the pres
ents, received from the British to the conquerDr,
ard Offering their squaws and pappooses as

its waters. From lis beak proceeded a scroll
inscribed sc. PIuribus Unum," a view of the
bank and distant waters Of the Lake filled the
perspective.
