The Council of Charleston, deeming il due
to the lustrious reputation of the late Mr. Cal.

we understand the temple is to he ofswhils

building will he raised upon, andrentrely en-.
compassed by, a. fight4oGsiRh steps. These :
will ascend to marble pavement; in. the cen.
ire Of which. the statute will be placed. ln
each of1he eight sides of the building, will be
an arched opening; and at each ofihe eight an.

columns. These columns will be surmounted
by an entablature, with modllion cornice. The
freze of The cornice will he encIrcled with

From the entabIature, springs a dome roof,
composed Of Sixteen enriched marble ribs, Ter.

highly wrought marble fineal. The panels
between the ribs of the dome will consist Of
glass, through which light will he introduced

have two parallel faces. The exterior ones.
being about an inch thick, will initiate white
marble, and will be rendered semi.iranslucent,

appropriately enamellcd figures. The frieze

To BRING THE DROWNED TO L1FE.-At this
season of the year, when so many fatal acci-
dents are occurring, the following advice, which
we have, perhaps, before published, is particu.
larly opportune:-
Immediately as the body is removed from
the water, press the chest suddenly and forcl'
bly, downward and backward, and instantly
discontinue the pressure Repeat this violent
interruption until pair of bellows can be pro-
cured. When obtained, introduce the muz-
zle well upon the base of the tongue. Sur.
round the mouth with towel or handkerchief.
and close it. Direct bystander to press firm
ly upon the projecting part of the neck (Ad-
ANS apple) and use the bellows actively. Then
press upon the chest to expel the air from the
lungs, to initiate the natural breathing. Con.
tinue this at least an our, or until signs OF nat
ural breathing come on.
Wrap the body in blankets, place it near fire.
and do every thing to preserve the natural
warmth, as.well as impart an artificial heat, il
possible, Every thing, however; is secondary
to Initiating lungs Send for a medical man
Immediately. 80 "
Avoid all trictons until respiration shall be in
some degree restored,

mere blank in the creation; he seems made tor
no end and lives to no purpose tie cannot
engage himsefn in any employment or profession
because he will never have diligence enough to
follow it; he can succeed IN no undertaking, Tor
he will never pursue it he must be a bad nus
band, father and relation, for he will not take
the least pains to preserve his wife, children and
family from starving, and must be worthless
friend for he would not draw his hand from his
bosom, though to prevent the destruction OF the
universe.
