Tears to the birtll-couch, triumph to the grave"
And many nations we find rejoice over
the death-bed. But with us the case is
different. Although we believe, or pro-
fcss to believe,
Ills misery to be born-to livc-to die"
we not only follow with tears to its last
resting place the lifeless corpse of the
loved and lost one; but for weeks and
months after we must go about wearing
garb of gloomy black, to let the world
know we are mourning for the departed
Many and many a time, as | have
stood and gazed upon the mortal re.
mains, no longer animated by spirit,
of SON friend, have | exclaimed with
Milton,
"Notling is here for tears, nothing to wall
% knock the b'ast.'
For knew tears and regrets were ofno
avail-ihcy benefited neither the living
or the dead; and with an abiding faith in
the wisdom and justice of an all-wise
Providence, | endeavored to extract
from the bereavement instead of anguish
the elements Of moral growth.
But even admitting it is human ma
turc to mourn-to give expression to orr
grief in tears why should we show
that grief to the vulgar gaze of cold
world, by parading our gloomy habili-
monts--the empty symbols of our sor-
row before their eyes! Is there any
call for such display ofregret None
whatever. They tell me we must put
on mourning out Of respect for the de-
parted; and to krcpthcir memory green
in our souls. And are these the only
reasons for wearing mourning CARDS
Alas for such reasons!
II could argue myself into the be-
lief that such custom benefited in
any wise the wearer, the world, or the
departed, should, you are well aware,
never design to say aught against it; but
until some one convinces me of its utii-
tv, my voice shall be lifted up in oppo.
sition to if, and shall hold it as hypo.
hritical. Those who have been so edu.
Gated as to adopt every existing custom
and deem it sacred, may consider that i
harsh epithet. But ask, is it not cor.
rect one! If We by any manner Of
means attempt to deceive, are we moi
hypocrites! If then we induce or at.
tempt to induce the world to believe by
our garbs we are sorrowing for some
one whose death we do not regret three
straws, are we not hypocrites And
ifa ridiculous custom compels us to veal
such garbs is it not hypocritical Gus
tom! think SO, And until | change
my views in regard to Life, Death anG
Duty shall maintain my present posi-.
ton, and oppose the wearing of mourn
ing badges and dresses as not only use
less but hypocritical and pernicious
Uscless-because true grief is silent anc
shuns display. Hypocritcal-becaust
it compels us to make living lies of our
selves by going through the world, ex
pressing by our dress, a sorrow we dc
not feel. RALpH RAMBLER.

"Our best friends are those who tell
us of our faults" sis an old saying and
time approves it true;" yet the weakness
of human nature is apt to consider those
its worst enemies. This is verified by a
Sonny who attempts to assail "Mr. E."

1t becomes our painful duty to state that on
Tuesday last, a personal rcncounter took place in
this town, between Robert J. Lester, and Samuel
J. Love, in the progress OF which, the former re-
ceived deadly wound from pistol, which has
since, terminated fatally. As all the facts and
circumstances connected with this melancholy af-

say anything of them; yet, we in common with
all good citizens, exceedingly regret the occur
renee. As il is most unfortunate for all concerned.

Receiving by yesterdays mail the Camle"
Is. CO. Journal Of March 4, we were surprs-
ed, bnt not at all disagrceably, to find its Edi
torial column appropriated to an article ad-
dressed "to the National Intclligencer "-
The fact of any article being so addressed
proves that the worthy Editors Of that journal
are not, like most of their contemporaries, a.
frad even so much as to name this paper in their
colnmns.'
We certainly feel much obliged 70 the "Nation-
al Intelligencer," for his elegant attempt at de-
molition of our article; nor do we suppose that
there is anything contaminating in the name
of this venerable and excellent paper, that should
cause us 10 be "afraid of even so much as to
name it" in our columns. We regret that the Ma
tional lnteliigencer should ever have devoted
single column, tc persuade South Carolina to
degraded Submission, and, to correct any impress
sons, which its Editor might have had, of the
probability of the SUCCESS of his efforts, and to
assure him that he misunderstood the purport of
the article he quoted from the "Journal" in pre-
vious number, were the reasons which induced
US to the fearless course, We pursued, in naming
his paper in our columns
I'VE will return the compliment by noticing
the most distngusI,able points of the article
thus addressed. We quote from it some pas.
sages; and, first, the following: za
