THE TEA PLANT IN SoUTH CARoLINA.-Mr
Junius Smith, of South Carolina, who has made
several experiments for the introduction of the
tea plant in that State, has recently received an
invoice of ten nuts from China. They were found
as fresh and sound apparently as when packed.
Mr.. Smith writes that the fundamental principle
that China tea nuts will terminate, and the tea
plant grow and flourish in this country, is al
ready practically established by the various ex-
periments which have been made. His importa-
ton of tea plants this year terminated in a total
failure. Two cases of China plants shipped from
Calcutta for New York are said to have persisted
together with the ship, in the China seas. An
York, but hence for Charleston failed to reach
that port-thus proving serious loss. Mr..
Smith looks forward to the time when our hills
and valleys will be covered with the growth of
the tea plant, and our markets amply supplied
with choice tea of our own manufacture.

"NEvER DESPAIR" is n motto worthy of adop
ton by all. There is n selfreliancc and nobility
of soul in him who acts it that raises him far
above the Universities Of life A calm, well bal
anced mind seldom gives way to misfortunes, but,
on the contrary, battles them down. and energies
from their gloom into the light Of perfect day.
We often see men Responding and sick at heart
with their lot, but they are not of the class who
"never despair They 90 not into life's strug-
gle with determination to triumph, but falter
at the slightest cloud of misfortune, and sink
deeper into trouble and anxiety. If we have a
stout heart, life's cares disappear before us like
the mists before the morning sun.
