THE CALHOUN MANu,cRlpTs.-The
Legislature of South Carolina, at its last
session, appropriated $4,000 for the
purpose of stereotyping and publishing
the two MSS. works Of Calhoun, COM
prising Treatise on Government, and
a Discourse on the Constitution of the
United States. The Governor was au-
thorised to appoint suitable Editor to
contract for and superintend the pub
LEGATION, within the State, of said man
uscripts." 1t was further provided, that
said agent after securing for the Use of
the State 500 copies of the work; should
place the stereotype plates and the en-
tire proceeds ofsales at the disposal of
the fami v of Mr.. Calhoun.
Some days since, X. X. Cralle; Esq,
Of Lynchburg, passed through Rich
mond, on bis way to New York, to SUI
perintcnd the publication of the MSS.
there. He was the devoted and conf
dental friend of Mr.. Calhoun, and his
selection as editor of the work was very
appropriate. We confess our surprise
at hearing that he work was to be pub
lished at New York. 1t may have been
because stereotypes could more conve-
nicntly be procured there. In Balti.
more, however, there is, we believe, a
large stereotype establishment. The
Governor South Carolina has the whole
matter under his control.

THE DEVOTED WIFE.
BY JOHN &. V HITTER.

She was a beautiful girl when first
saw her. She was standing at the side
of her lover at tn" marriage altar. She
was 4 little pale, YET ever and anon, as
the ceremony proceeded, faint tingo Of
crimson crossed her beautiful cheek, Ike
the reflections OF sunset cloud upon the
clear waters Ola quiet lake. Her lover,
as h. claSprd her hand within his own,
sazed on her a few moments, with admi-
ration, and the warm and eloquent blood
Swallowed at intervals his manly fore
head, and "4ueIted into beauty on his
lip.'
And they gave Themselves TO one an
other in The presence of Heaven, and
every heart blessed them, as they went
on their way rejoicing in their love.
Yea, passed on, and again saw those
lovers. Ihey were seated together where
thu light of sunset stole through the half
closed and crimson curtain, lending a
richer tint 10 the delicate carpeting and
the exquisite establishment of the rich
and gorgeous apartment. Time had
slightly changed them in outward APP
p"arancc. Th" girlish buoyancy of the
one had indeed given place to the grace
OF perfect WOmanhood; and her lip was
somewhat paIer, and a frint line Of care,
was slightly perceptible upon her brow.
Her husbands brow, too, was marked
somewhat more deeply than his ace
might warrant; anxiety, ambition and
pride had grown over it, and left their
traces upon it; silver hue was mingled
with the dark of his hair which had be-
come thin around his temples almost TO
badness. He was reclining on his otto
man. with his face half hid by his hand,
as if he feared that the deep and trou-
hled thoughts which oppressed him were
visible upon his features.
''EdWard YOU are i'll tonight" said
his wife, in low, sweet, half-inquiring
voice, as she laid her hand upon his own.
Indifference from those we love is
+ terrible to the sensitive bosom. 1t is as
if the sun Of heaven refused It's wonted
chcertulness, and gIared upon us with a
cold, dim and forbidden glance. 1t is
dreadful to feel that the only being o!
our love refuses to ask our sympathy,
that he broods over the feelings which
he scorns Or fears to reveal, dreadful to
watch the convulsivc features and the
gloomy.brow, the indefnable shadows of
hidden emotions, involuntary sigh of
sorrow in which we are forbidden TO
participate, and whose character we
cannot know.
She esSaycd once more. "Edward,' :
she said, slowly, mildly and affection
ately, 'the time has been when YOU
were willing to confide your secret joys
and sorrows to one who has never,
trust, betrayed your confidence. Why,
then, dear Edward is this cruel reserve ?
You are troubled and yet refuse to tell
me the cause

HARRIsvILLE, Feb. lth, 1881.
Mr.. Editor:--l suppose the most Of
the citizens of your place, are hardly
aware of the existence, of such Il village
as ours but am confident that it cannot
be owing to its lack Of importance. The
cause most probably is: its very recent
origin.
Here, twenty years ago, much OF the
land, afforded on Y killdeer pasture.
Our village was thcn-no where. Some
Of those quon1am pastures, with only
tolcrablc buildings, are now held at > lCU
per acre and a thriving village eSab-
iishrd. We are one mile west OF the
tIising sun, which is also improving rap
idly. Perhaps it is owing to the proX-
unity Of the SIR, that our light is OBJ
scurrd. These improvements are only
Il fair specimen ofthose making in the
whole northwestern section of the com-
! ty. The value OF property is increasing
rapidly, and the spirit Of improvement
is manitcsting itself in various ways.
Our neighborhood was recently hca-
or"d, by visit from Cyrus Burleigh, a
''hi@hor law caS,IiSt, of hyrcrhorcan re-
gioES.' His theme was, the Fugitive
Slave law. He argued, that it was q
violation Of the higher law, and conSe.
qurutlv, its operation should be ohStr,ct-
ed by tiger law. His proceedings were
undoubtedly, violation Of the laws OF
the State, Of which, the diss animation OF
his views, mightnlso, POSSIBLY, be deemed
an infraction. The audiences were
small and not over dccorou& most Of oul
citizens being opposed 10 the agitation
Of the subject, partcujarIl at this critical
time, But it cannot h" denied, that The
'pcauIiar institution is regarded unfa-
NorahIy, by a majority in this section
yet conscious of the circumstances under
which il originated, and is confirmed in
existence, they willingly acquiesce.
+ Our nrighborhood is healthy, and the
farmers have ayailrd themselves, Of the
past open wcIthpr, to forward thail
spring work. Yours, b.

WEDDING SUPERSEDED BY A FUNERAL.
"A young man by the name of Viclssry
was to have been married at Cleveland,
Ohio, on the 18th ultimo; but, in con-
sequence of the illness of his intended,
the wedding was postponed two weeks,
but he died in few days afterward.
He had an affection of the heart, which,
when excited, troubled him very much.
On the evening Of his death, he had
been reading to his intended the story
of "Walter Errick." 1t was very ex-
citing tale of Glove and MURDER" and,
under the circumstances, wrought deep
ly upon his feelings. When he had fin
ished the reading the last paragraph end
ing with the sudden death of "Errick,"
he remarked that he hoped che should
not die thus suddenly The young
lady looked at him, and saw his hand
falling which held the paper, and his
countenance changed to deathly hue.
She took hold of him from her chair.
when he gently leaned toward her and
died in her arms.

THE RHODE ISLAND SENAToR.-As
there is a curiosity to know something
of Gen. James, the new democratic t.
S. Senator; just elected by the wing leg
islature of Rhode Island, we copy the
following from the New York Mirror
General Charles Y. James, who has
been elected TO the United States Sena-
tor by the Legislature Of Rhode Island,
is the we'll known Mill builder, who for
the last ten or fifteen years has supsrin-
tended the erection of more cotton facto-
ries from Maine TO Georgia, than any
other man. 1t is only recently that he
has made himself known az politicians;
and owing to an obstinate split in the
ranks of the Wings, between the sold
toggies," and the young guard, he goes
to the Senate as the Democratic repre-
sentative of a State which now is, and
long has been, Wing to the back bone.
OF General James's peculiar qualifca-
tons for the high Office of Senator, we
know but little. He is too largely in
terested in Cotton Mills not to be a high
tariff man. We can only add that he is
good looking, and one of the best rifle
shots in New England. In early life,
he was "hard boy" and sowed his
"wild oats" all over his NATIVE State.
We confess to some surprise that they
have borne him such harvest.

CALIFORNIA SpEcuLATIoN.-We are
daily meeting with new instances of the
ill-luck" which has attended parties
who have left their business in this part
of the country to engage in the doubt
full bushes, ofspeculating in California.
AS another instance we chronicle the
following:
Zone hundred and twenty gentlemen
Of Hartford, organized themselves into
company and went to California, in SEP
TENDER 1919. At the end of twelve
months, twelve had died, twenty-six re-
turned home with an average Of S $50,
seventy-seven remained in California.
Ofthose who returned home, the great
est amount possessed by one man was
SIS, 900, while nineteen had nothing at
alln Another instance:-The Fremont
Mining Company; consisting Of IS mem
bers, arrived out at the same time as the
above; at the end of year seven had
died, eighteen returned home, and fifty
remained in 'El Dorado the average
gains of each man being $40. One
man had $4,000, and nineteen made
their bare expenses. Not very hatter-
ing picture, truly"

Tue PLEASURE or CoNTGNTMrNT.--l
have a rich neighbor that is always so
busy that he has no leisure to laugh; the
whole business of his Lie is to get money,
and more money. He is still dredging
on, saying that Solomon says, "rhc dill
gent hand maketh rich" And ii is true
indeed, but he considers not that it is
not in the power of riches to make a
man happy, for it was wisely said by a
man OF great observation that there be as
many miscries beyond riches as on this
side And yet God deliver us from
pinohng poverty; and grant that having
IA competency we may be content and
thankful. Let us not ropine, or so much
think the gifts of God unc1ualIy dealt,
if we see another abound in riches; when
as God knows the cares that keep those
riches, hang often so heavily at the rich
mans girdlc, that they clog him with
weary days and restless nights, even
when others sleep quietly. We see but
the outside Of the rich mans happiness;
few consider him to be like the silk
worm, that, when she seems to play, is
al the very same time spinning her bow
els, and consuming herself. And this
many rich men do-loading themselves
with corroding cares to keep what they
have already got. Let us, therefore, be
thankful for health and competence, and
above all, for a quiet conscience.
