Humiliation and Prayer.

Tomorrow has been set apart by his EScellency the
Governor, as day for religious worship 1t is the ear
nest wish Of the Executive "that all secular business
be suspended, and that all our people assemble in their
respective places of worship for the purpose of acknowl
edging Gods mercies dcporing our sins, confessing
the justice Of his chassemonts and beseechng favor
for the time to come"
Surely s request so reasonable and proper, will be
complied with. If ever there was time when it be-
came necessary to manifest our humility before our Su
preme Governor and the Ruler othe universe to trem-
bic at His judgments, now is that time. When the
mercies of God fail to reach hearts His judgments
will assurcdly awe us into reverence We have not
been as individuals and people, sufficiently thank
full for the unbounded mcrces and blessings vouch-
safed unto by a kind and bcnefccnt Providence.-
Righteousness exalteth nation, but sin is reproach
to any people"

Death of MIR. Webster.

We briefly announced the death of this distinguish
cd statesman in our last Thus another ray of glory
stricken from ourstarry last brightest con-
scllation in political galaxy has wancd outtoo-
WEBSTER is gone! Within short time it seems strange
to finite Judgment that many Of the great Of earth
should debut death is no respccter of persons 1t
is Natures universal debt and we all must pay too
sooner or later.
1.-THE boast Of hcraldry, the pomp OF power,
And all that beauty, all that wealth Ger gave
Await alike the inevitable hour
The paths OF glory lead but to the grave"
Scarce is the record finished which chroniced the
death of earths noble ones ere another and yet ano
ther is summoned "to join
The innumcrabe caravan that moves
To that mysterious realm where each shall take
His chamber in the silent halls Of DEATH"
In this country beloved CALHOUN was the first
to die of til, three great American statesmen Of the 10th
century-next followed the illustrous CLAY, and now
WEBSTER has gone too! What chasm las been made
by DEATH in the removal of these great mon!
Others have died within the same period but not of
the same class of greatness Can their places be lcd
Time aonc can tell. What man has been, man may
be; but
"Long shall we seek their likeness long in vain"
We can only minglc regrets with the tears ofaflcc.
tion and the grief of naton-vicw their virtues only
think of their faults no more Tis vain to wish them
back
"Can storcd urn or animated bust
Back to its mansion call the ilocting breath?
Can lIonor's voice provoke the silent dust
Or tattcry sootlc the dull, cold ear Of dcath?"

From the Charleston Mercu1Y.

To THE ALUMNI OF THE South CAROLINA Col
LEGE.-Having observed communication in
the South Carolinian some time since over the
signature of Euphrad," suggesting the proprie-
ty of a Scmi-C Centennial Celebration Of our AL
ma Mater in 1854, felt confident that the pro-
position would meet with hearty response, not
only from the Graduates, but also from the press
Of the State generally. | am surprised that no
notice of the matter whatever has been taken by
any paper or person, although every one, who
has spark of State pride in his bosom, or feels
any interest in our time-honored institution,
would surely rejoice to see any measure adopted,
which would rebound to the credit and prosperi-
ty of "the right eye of South Carolina" The
reunion of her sons, and the revival of the re-
recollection of scenes and associations "gone
never moro to return" will not only be " feast
of reason, and flow of soul" but will exert
powerful and lasting influence on the welfare
of tho College, As some time will be requisite
to make the necessary preparations, and as there
will be larger number of Graduates in Column
bia during the Commencement week, than at
any other time, beg leave most respectfully to
propose meeting of Alumni in that place on
the day after the next Commencement, to take
such action in the premises as may be deemed
proper and advisable.

HONESTY IN BUYING AND SELLING.-Somc arc
not honesty in buying Or selling. Their rule is,
to buy at all times as cheap as they can, and sell
as dear as they can. This is wicked rule. We
often trade with those WHO do not know the
worth of the thing bought or sold. 1t is cheat
ing them to make the best bargain we can.-
Sometimes we trade with those who are in great
want, and fix our own prices, and make them
much too high if VIC sell, or too low if VIC buy.
There is u fair price for everything. Let that be
paid or taken for everything. lie who is Just
and true, and loves his ncighbor as himself, will
soon find out what II fair price is. Almost all
men use too many words i'll buying and selling
and when too many words arc used there is al.
most always lie somewhere.

A Tartar HOt-EKGI7sc.

Sometimes the travellers slept IN their tent,
which was apt to be very cold, and sometimes
in a house, which was apt to be extremely hot !;
in fact, they slept on furnace when IN a native
house. Tie entire household was IN one large
room, where all the cooking, eating, sleeping,
talking, and scolding went on, to say nothing of
smoking ard gambling. In the midst of the
apartment there is always large raised coun-
ter, on which every body Sits and lies down to
sleep. In one end of this counter boilers are in
serted for the cooking; and the heat from the
furnace passes into the interior of the "kang," !"
as the counter is called, atfordng warm bed to
every body. A reed mating, or Il floor of planks,
is spread under the sleeper; but if he docs not
accurately understand how to place tho reeds or
the planks, he is likely to be "done brown on
one side, while the other side may chance to be
stiff with cold. If this is clevcry managed,
there is still much which is not exactly condu-
Give to sleep; for instance, swarms of vermin,
clouds of tobacco, and the fumes of the burning
dung of garlic, and rancid oil, such as the cot
ton wick is floating in. Then there is the gos-
sip of one party, who may like to lie awake very
late, chatting over their tea; or of another who
may prefer having their tea in the middle of the
night; or of third who may want it before
they 90 out at daybrcak. On the Whole, VIC
feel that whenever we travel there, we shall pre-
fer the tent, if we can keep up any vital warmth
in lis at all. In a tent, one can at least have q
choice of posture whereas in Tartar inn, the
sleepcrs on kang, if numerous, must lie in q
circle, with their feet altogether in the middle

CAUGHT IN A WATER SPoUT.-A Trinidad
NV. I.) paper relates the following The Schoon-
or President Jeremie, lying at this port, got un-
der weigh for St. Vincent, but had only got rs
far as opposite the Five Islands, IA few miles
from the anchorage ground Of Fort Span,) when
an accident of most unusual and terrifying ma
ture occurred to her. The master of the vessel
had observed some threatening weather coming
on, and had prudeutly taken in all sail, when he
suddenly found his vessel enveloped in the vor-
tex of what is commonly known as water
spout-of water, however, he saw none; but Of
the wind, or whirlwind, no more than, in all
probability, he would like to see again, or see
ing, be lucky enough to survive to tell the tale
His little vessel, as he describes it, was carried
down into kind of well or vortex, and there
thrown on her beam ends She recovered her
position, was again thrown down in the same
way, recovered herself; third time prostratcd.
In the course Of these three upsets, seven Of the
eleven persons on board were thrown off the
deck into the water, the master himself was
thrown overheard a second time, after once get
ting on board out Of the vortex.
Finally the whirlwind passed over, and of the
seven overheard, FIVE succeeded in getting on
board again, but two unfortunately were drown
ed they were both sailors of the vessel; one of
the two men drowned was an elderly man; a
passenger who was supporting himself on a hen
coop he had been lucky enough to find floating
about, gallantly gave it up to him, seeing his
age and infirmity, and SWAN off to the water
cask floating at greater distance; but the poor
man could not keep his hold Of the coop, and
was drowned the other man who perished was
not seen from the moment he fell from the deck
into the sea.
The deck cargo fell or was swept overheard
the long boat was partially stove in-and the
mainsail, although it had been previously lower
ed, was much rent. The vessel returned to town
to repair and report damage.

rowly escaped being involved in the same catas
