POETRY.
THE HAND OF PROVIDENCE.


THE HAND OF PROVIDENCE.
There is kind, mysterious Hand
That sways our destinies,
And touches with magic wand
Each moment as it flies.
There is limit to our JOY,
A measure for our woes,
And neither bliss without alloy,
MOI al Of SORROW flows.
The world, with its enticing toys,
If constant and secure,
Would steal away all higher joys,
And every thought allure.
But joys, and aims, and hopes Of earth,
Vanish, and fade, and die,
And on each thing Of mortal birth
Is stamped-uacertainty
Anon kind Providence bes,ows
Earth's sweet variety,
And pours through every rill that flows,
A full safety.
But oft the fountain is dried up
Which else had poured oat JOY,
Or sorrow mingles with the cup
Its bitter, base alloy.
The drink which comfort lends to-day,
As JOY the banquet cheers,
Tomorrow may be drained away
In sorrows bitter tears;
But, borne in vapor TO the skies,
AS threatening clouds shall ope.
Again those tears may greet the eyes,
Cro,cned 10Th the bo,0 Of hope.
The thread Of life, however long,
If spun amid the gay,
Or gathered into flowers and song,
Unblest will pass away;
But, woven into duty's chain.
Each passing moment brings
It's tribute TO the heart again,
From joys serenest springs.

JUDGE CoLeUITT AND THE DEAooS.--A yeaf

lgious protracted meeting in Harris county, in this
State. One evening after the exercises OF the day
had been concluded and the Judge had retired 10
the house of an old and pous friend in the vcini-
ty, to spend the night, it came to pass that some
young men and boys commenced game of mar
bles in the yard, when the eminent statesman and
divine ''straightway' joined them. In the midst
Of the game, and when the ex-senator was aboui
"knucRe'n' down to Shoot" the party were sur

LIEUT.. of The Sumter Volunteers" arriv.
ed in this place on Tuesday the 18th inst.
lie was with the army during the whole
campaign, and was the last of,he palmet-
to Regiment to leave the shores of Mexico.
Shortly after the landing ofihe army in
that country, he was appointed Assistant
Commissary of Subsistence 10 the Palmct-
to Regiment, and part of the time to some
other in addition, the arduous duties Of
which Office he performed with faithful
ness, zeal and ability. Occasionally,
while engaged in its duties, he found il
necessary to ride as much us eighty miles
a day. He took part in all the bu,tles in
which the Palmetto Regiment was engag-
ed, and bore hmselfbravcly, having been
struck on the left breast by bail, which
knocked him down but did not enter his
body on account Of its striking against n
purse containing silver. This circum.
stance, no doubt, saved his life on that oc-
casion.
His many friends welcome his return
home, safe and sound, with the greatest
pleasure; and the warm greeting and
heartfelt shake Of the hand were grateful
10 the soldier returned from the tolls and
dangers Of war.
We regret that the necessity Of adjust
ing his accounts with the government re-
moves Capt. Blanding from us until early
in September, and that, consequently, it
will not be in his power to attend the fes.
tival to be given at this place, on the l7th
of August, in honor Of The Sumter Vol.

On Tuesday, the 4,h of July, about 500 Of
the citizens of Lower Salem assembled at
New Zion Church, for the purpose Of cele-
brat,ng the Anniversary of American 1nde-
pendence. The place was peculiarly appro-
pirate to the occasion; for there, upon spot
where christian community, uuder the
strong protection Of law, had SO often met to
worship and adore their Creator under their
own vino and fig tree, with none to nolest or
make afraid, this same community were as
sembled as American citizens, to commemo-
rate and return thanks to God for an event
which secured to them and their country the
inestimable blessings Of civil and religious
liberty.
And while amidst the smiles Of 30 many
of the fair daughters Of Carolina, every thing
being prohibited which rendered in any wise
to interrupt the peace and harmony Of the
crowd, all was peace and quietude. a pros
cession was formed under the direction of
Capt. w. II. Woops, who presided as Mar,
