Thele is a good moral in the following beauti
full lines:
little word in kindness spoken,
motion or tear,
Has often healed the heart that's broken,
And made friend sincere.
A word-a look-has crushed to earth,
Full many budding flower,
Which had smile but owned its birth,
Would bless li(e's darkest hour.
Then deem it not an idle thing
pleasant word to speak;
The face you wear, the thoughts you bring,
A heart may heal or break.

Spring.


o! how it stirs the fsgging heart,
And bids the pulses ny,
TIC greet again, like Eden CLEANS
Bright tokens in earth and sky,
OF seasons-lov'd Of all the best
The fairy footed Spring,
Ever with smiles upon her brow
joys color on her wing!
The sun, with a brighter, kindlier glance,
Looks down from his throLe on high;
Anddyes again with his purest sheen,
The clouds and the azure sky
While over the fac. of the broad fair earth,
And DER the trembling main,
His impulse glows, recalling to life
The many bright ,hiDgs sgain.
The pines have q fringe of deeper green
Ay! in the dim old woods
Returning newness and beauty reigns,
And brightens the solitudes;
While birds-the beautiful singing birds,
As II in jubilee,
Pour from each spray and on glancing wing,
Their widest minstrelsy!
From stream and fount the chain is loosd-
And 10. how they dance alo ng;
Like living things in jewels decked,
And tranc'd with their own glad song;
Now, with a gentle serenade,
ZONE bright gale seeking out;
Then lespiDg DER its rocky way,
With a swelling and tiny shout!
Ay. Spring thou art giving 10 earth again
The train Of laughing hours;
Restoring forgotten harmonies,
And calling up the flowers
But oh. @ brighter spell is thine
In gifts for the spirit fraught,
The freshness OF early feeling,
And the joy ofearly thought.

The Herald in Beaufort-M DISQUALIFICATION Of

Sad state of Ihings-Vtather-JV hite Stiphur-
Teras- General Hamilton, &c.
Mr.. BENNETT -
Having, through the politeness Of friend, been
favored with a sight of your interesting " Herala,''
and noticinglthat you have a number Of correspond
cnts from various quarters, it will not, perhaps,
come amiss to give you a few items from our quar-
ter, II worthy of your notice.
Beaufort is a beautiful place-nore so, perhaps,
than any Of our towns in the State, being the re-
treat of all cur opulent planters, who find their
plantations too unhealthy for their residence from
June until October so this is consequently the
most favorable spot to retreat to-, being on the sea-
coast, 60 miles from Charleston, and 40 from sa-
vannah. Oysters and fish abound, with excellent
salt baths.
Beaufort is no business town, our cotton, rice,
&c. being sent to Charleston for embarkation, and
the past year has been very unproductive, so much
90, our negroes have scarcely paid their expenses
of keeping. Negro stock has fell alarmingly ; .
good field hand will not bring over two or three
hundr red dollars. In fact, l was at a sale of negroes
down at Savannah. a.few days ago, and The sheriff
disposed OF aboltt two hundred Of Mr. Kings mem
Der Of Congress, for debt, at fifty, a hundred, and
two hundred dollars each! No state in the Union
has suffered more severely from the depression OF
the times than ours; how many OF our merchants
and trade re- will ever meet their northern liabilities
is a query time alone will selve. learned q few
days since, our supposed 10 be wealthiest district
planter, w. H., Esq, had become a bankrupt. He
held a large plantation near C~oosawhatohie which
has been taken possession of by the sheriff also,
the adjoining piantafioU. and hi: negroes ,s sold, q.
Things in our district are in a deplorable way, Sir,
and unless We soon getia change to the better, the
State will be an entire bankrupt; plantations, over
grown with weeds, and our negroes starving: We
have little or no silver. Cotton is only bringing
fifteen and sixteen cents per pound, rice three
cents.
The weather is quite ~warm-April has set in
charming nature is smiling, but affairs are gloomy;
| few of our citizens visit your Saratosas, White
S~ulphurs, &c. think this season " a penny saved
are tive earned" will become our motto now
| Texas cause will find few advocates with US, a. we
are too poor to furnish funds, and too much to DO
at home to send our friends away. Gen. Hamilton
passed here last week, on his way farther south,to
get aid for Texas.
With many respects, I am yours, Sir,
