Rules of Life.

The late John McDonough, who died
with so immense an estate recently in
New Orleans, left papers, among which
was found the following. They are capi-
tai rules, if they do not lead people, as
they did him. into the narrow path of the
miser:
RULES FOR MY GUIDANCE IN LIFE.
Remember, always, that labor is ono
of the conditions of our existence.
Time is gold; throw not one minute
away, but place each one to account.
Do unto all men as you would be
done by.
Never put off till tomorrow what you
can do today.
Never covet what is not your own.
Never think any matter so trivial as to
deserve no notice.
Never give out that which does not
first come in.
Never spend, but to produce.
Let the greatest order regulate all the
transactions Of your life.
Study in your course through life to
do the greatest possible amount of good.
Deprive yourself of nothing necessa-
ry to your comfort in life, but live in an
honorable simplicity and frugality
Pursue strictly the above rules, and
with the Divine blessing, riches of every
kind will flow in upon you to your hearts
content.
But first of all, remember that the chief
and great study of your life should be,
to live by all the means in your power to

GOVERNORS MESSAGE,
FELLOW. CITIZENS OF THE SENATE

AND HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVE :
congratulate you upon your assem-.
bling to deliberate upon the affairs of the
commonwealth and to discharge the high
and sacred duties which devolve upon you.
Since your last meeting our State has
been blessed with an unusual degree of
health, and although, in some portions of
it, scorching drought has blighted the
hopes of the husbandman in a considera-
bic degree, yet in others they have been
rewarded with an abundant harvest; and
whatever deficiency in breadstuffs may
occur in one section, can be supplied from
another. A new spirit of enterprise and
improvementseems to animate our people.
and when the great railroad enterprises,
now rapidly progressing, are completed,
we may indulge the hope that new era
of prosperity will dawn upon us-new
life and energy be infused into all our in
dustrial pursuits. For these, as for all
His mercies, we are bound to render our
heartfelt thanks to Almighty God, our
Heavenly Father.
The financial condition of the State
may be put down as follows:
Assets. s................ .$5, ,113,414 47
Liabilities. cs............. 3,20S,424 Sc

better course. I,myself have none to
suggest. Whatever is the action of the
State through her constituted authorities,
it is my duty to obey. ut solemnly
call upon you, as the representatives Of
the people, and as the guardians of their
rights, to remember that since you re-
solved upon resistance, and ordered the
State to be-armed for defence, no single
wrong of which you then complained has
been redressed; no indemnity has been
offered for the past, no security for the
future. That, under the yaunted. fugitive
slave law, it has cost, in some instances,
the owner four times the value. of the
slave to recover him, and in others his
life. But, above all, call upon you to
remember that the soldiers of the Federal
Government are now stationed on your
cost, either to overawe or to coerce you.
That the guns of Castle Pinckney, and
even of Fort Moultrie, (which your ia.
theirs SO gallantly defended,) and which
were ceded to. the General Government
for your protection, are now frowning
upon Charleston. Surely this monstrous
insult, added to our injnries, will rouse
the pride and patriotism of our people
The dangers which threaten our country
call upon us to bury the party feelings
which have so unfortunately divided and
distracted US, and to unite all our ener-
gies against the common enemy of our
institutions. The taunts, the insults the
abuse that is heaped upon our State,
should cause every true son of Carolina
to cling to her with an allegiance still
more unfaltering. Gentlemen, the honor
and safety of our beloved State are in
your keeping. May God direct you in
your deliberations.

A CHRISTIAN THOUGHT.
WOULD not ask thornless life
From every sorrow free.
Did God in His kind providence
Permit it so 10 be.
For as the verdurc of the earth
Would wither and decay
Beneath the dazzling gloriousness
or perpetual day.
So the green places Of the heart
In life's progressive years,
Would cease to yield the buds of hope,
If watcrcd not BY tears.
I ask a firm and steadfast mind,
My duties to fulfil;
A cheerful and obcdient heart
To do my Makers will.
An humble and enduring faith,
To lift my soul above,
And in each Christening grief to see
A Fathers tender love.
A hcaven-born strength to follow on
The path my Saviour trod,
Through Him to win the need Of grace
And endless JOY with God.

JOHN H. MEANS.

The DnUNKARD.-Poverty, in itself
is not crime. No disgrace belongs to
the man, who by reverses in business, is
led down from affluence to destitution.
The poorest man who walks this earth of
sorrow, or who tolls in vain to .clothe and
feed his children, can stand 10 the pre-.
sence of the man in millions, with no
consciousness Of inferio1ty. But when
poverty is the result of crime, it becomes
at:once sinful and, ,disgraGeful !; when il is.
s.
lying, it covers its victim with robe Of
shame. Under any circumstances it is
exceedingly unpleasant and inconvenient
to be very poor, and by most men, pow
erty is dreaded as one of the worst Of
evils. Now poverty is as sure to follow
course Of intemperance, as light and
heat to follow the rising of the sun. God
has so ordained. In his word he has de.
clared that the drunkard shall come to
poverty, and wherever we behold drunk.
enness, we also gaze upon squalid misery.
60 into any community and you will find
affluence to be the result of sobriety, and
destitution the sure attendant of dissipa.'
ton. You will expect to find in the neat,
vine-covered cottage, frugal temperate
man; aud in the hovel, unpainted and
desolata, the windows shattered, the
doors unhinged, an Incorporate man.

"No MAN." said Mrs. Partington, "was

The South Carolina College, which has
been so literally endowed by your en-.
lightened generosity, and looked upon as
the pride and ornament of our State, is in
a most hourshing condition. Under the
auspices Of its accomplished president,
and able professors, its reputation is daily
extending, and students are drawn to it
from nearly all the Southern and South
western States. Although the western
wing Of the North College was burnt
down in April last, yet it caused no sus.
pension of the usual routine of duties
either of professors or students. This
injury to the building was promptly re.
paired and paid for out of the tuition fund.
As this first accident admonishes US OF
the dangers to which so large an amount
Of public property is exposed, beg leave
to call your attention to the propriety of
having all the College buildings insured.
The important science of geology and
mineralogy, which for years has been so
entirely neglected, is now taught with
great ability. The cabinet of minerals

though it is still comparatively small, yet

to the visitor, but reflects great credit up
on the skill and industry Of the able pro.
fessor of that department.
regret to announce to you that the
valuable services of DR.. Thornwell, whose
eminent piety and profound learning rem
dercd him one of its brightest ornaments
and strongest props, were lost to the Col
lege by his resignation, which was ten
dered to, and accepted by the trustees at
their May meeting. 1t is also with pain
full emotions that | inform you of the
heavy blow it is to sustain in the contem-
plated resignation of its venerable presi.
dent, who, with Jealous fidelity, has dis
charged the delicate and laborious duties
of his office in such manner as to give
additional lustre to his already extended
reputation, and to the brilliant fame he
has won for himself in other fields. It is
most deeply to be deplored that continued
ill-health forces him to take that step
which will deprive the rising generation
of our State of the example of one whose
commanding eloquence, whose pure mo.
rality, springing from highly cultivated
mind and heart, was destined to exercise
such happy influence over them. Jus.
tice requires. that should mention, to the
credit of the other professors, that the
deficiency resulting from the inability OF
the President to complete his course of
instruction to the classes was promptly
supplied by the assumption of additional
labors by them. The experiment of our
Military Academies has succeeded beyond

EDUCATE Your DAUGHTERs.-A wri-
ter says: "When lived among the
Choctaw Indians, / held consultation
with one of their chiefs respecting the
successive stages of their progress in the
arts of civilized life; and among other
things he informed me at their first start
they fell into great mistake-they only
sent their boys to school. They became
intelligent men, but they married unedu.
Gated and uncivilized wives, and the uni.
form result was, that the children were
all like the mother; and soon The father
lost all interest in both wife and children.
"And now," says he "if we could ed.
ucate but one class of our children, we
should choose the girls; for when they
became mothers they would educate
their sons" This is to the point, and it
is true. No nation can become fully and
permanently civilized and enlightened
when their mothers are not, to a good
degree, qualified to discharge the duties
Of the home work of education"

NO HEART ALONE.

o SAY not, we through life must struggle,
Must toll and mourn alone;
That no human heart can answer
The bcatings of our own.
The stars look down from the silent heavcl
Into the quiet stream,
And see themselves in its dcwy depths
In freshcr beauty glcam.
The sky, with its pale or glowing hucs,
Ever painteth the wave below,
And the sea sends up its mist to form
Bright clouds and the heavenly bow.
Thus docs each of the other borrow
A beauty not its own,
And tells us that no thing IN nature
Is for itself alone.
Alone, amid life's griefs and perils,
The stoutest heart may quail:
Left to its own unaided efforts,

incident occurred at city hotel few
days ago. A verdant looking chap sat
down to take "some fillin," as the inn

due time waiter presented himself at
the back Of our hero's chair and inquired:
"Tea or coffee, sirs"
"Tea," he answered.
"What kind of tea, sira"

and, with considerable emphasis. said:
