GONE AsTRAY.-Cold words to fall on
loving heart-he has gone astray.-
And is this the time to desert him?-
This the time to taunt him with words
that roll like lava from your passion,
and only scar his soul7 Nol he passes
under clouds; be his light now; per-
haps he has no other. ~ I.
Many true heart, that would have
come back like the dove to the ark after
its first transgression, has been fright
ened beyond recall by the angry look
and malice, the taunt, the savage chari-
ty of an unforgiving soul. Be careful
how you freeze the first warm emotions
of repentance Beware lest those
pleading words, unheeded now, sting
you in some shadowy vale of your flu
ture sorrow. Repentance, changed by
neglect or unkindness, becomes like
melted iron hardened in the mould
Trifie with it never. Be the first to
meet the erring with outstretched arms.
Wipe the tear from his eye-pour the
balm of consolation on the wounds that
guilt has made. Let your hearts be the
grave for his transgressions, your pity
find vent in bearing his burden, not in
useless words. o, forgive the erringl
Did not He who died on Calvary?-
Shield him from the contempt of grosser
minds; make brightness and beauty
where all was cloud and storm before IN
his sad life.

a THRILLING ScESE-A few days
since, as the express train for Baltimore
was passing the vicinity of Naaman S
creek, at the rate of forty miles an hour,
a horrifying sight was witnessed by
those having charge of the train. A
man, apparently fisherman, inhabiting
one of the shanties close by, who was
laboring under mania pOtu, had
thrown himself upon the rails for the
purpose of self destruction; but two
females having drawn him off, were
engaged in dreadful struggle to pre-
vent his again throwing himself before
the train. One had deadly grip of
his legs, while the other was kneeling
upon his breast, as the iron horse went
laundering by, just grazing her cloth
ing; indeed so close was she, that her
own escapefrom instant death was most
imminent. The whole scene occupied
but an instant, and scarcely any of the
passengers were aware of the calamity
which had been impending. Those
who witnessed it were horror struck,
knowing the impossibility to prevent
the destruction of all three, if the
maniac succeeded in struggling only a
few inches nearer the rail. lI

And Pa has got cough;

It's just the trip need;
Andwe have purchased heaps of things,
To make the plan succeed;
Ny lawns are lovely, I'll engage;
And such sweet new pink baregel
Well follow where the ''ton" has led,
For Pa is somewhat i'll;
And Ma has got dreadful head,
That aches-to try its skill
Maneuvering for Nell and me,
And Angeline and Rosalie.
Papa declares he'll take the four,
:. Although I'm sure he knows
The thing will cloud our prospects o'er
Forever, with the beaux;
For many heart will turn to clubs,
That courts at length the four Miss

And l may win cot;
But sure no Brown, or Smith, or More,
Need bid for this fair lot:
For am bound to stake nv game
On fulsthree syllables of name.
And yet it is bitter cup,
When youth is in glow,
To give its brightest prospects up,
Because there's such row
Of Misses StUb6s-for all our charms
Are lost in half score of arms.
But Ma has bid me think myself
How Pa will have to plod,
To gain the necessary pelf
For Clara. Blanche, and Maud;
For Pa has got chime of bellies,
Whose music amt the kind that sells.
But must make my outfit go
For something, sure as fate:
IT'S hopes last chance and few can

How badly should hate,
When life is done with all its rubs,
To mark my tomb with, Jeannie Stubbs.

RArrLEsSAKEs.-Mr. J. G. Jones, of
Orangeburg District, writes the Pal
metto Standard, under date of the 10th
inst, as follows: . f-.
ga few days ago, being out hunting.
l encountered and killed two large rat
tlesnakes, measuring four feet seven
inches, one having eleven rattles.-
Those of the other were scattered, and
l could not ascertain how many there
were, but suppose they were equally as
many. They were both females, OF
different stripes, but were found to-
gether. In one found eighteen young
ones, and in the other seventeen, each
measuring about IS inches. These
Young ones were enclosed each in a
separate sack, like the young of squir-
reis and rabbits, and am now satisfied
that the rattlesnakes breed in this way,
instead of laying eggs as is generally
supposed.

CHAPTER VIII.
THE CHANGES OF YEAR.


We change the scene, now, TO farm house in
Virginia. 1t is small and neat, and stands on
slight emnence, overlooking, on either side. a wel
cultivated farm of some three hundred acres. A
negro quarter stands at the distance about hun
drad yards, in and about which are number of
blacks-men, women and children. An elderly
man is walking backwards and forwards before the
door of the dwelling in The cool of the evening and
by his side is young man in earnest conversation
with him. Sometimes the elder of the two walks
forward rapidly, and sometimes pauses and looks
into the face of his companion with expression
of painful surprise. Let us approach them. The
old man is speaking. ,

"Col. Jas. Collier of Steubenyile has been
indicted before the Supreme Court Of the
United States for appropriation of the public
funds whilst collector at the Port Of San
Francisco. 1t is said that be is behind about
three hundred thousand dollars"
The above exceedingly modest paragraph
we clip from the last number of the Buckeye
State. Who is this james Collier that "is
said to be behind about three hundred thou
sand dOllars?' We can inform our readers.
He is one Of the leading wings of Ohio, who
was appointed Collector at San Francisco by
the late Wing Administration. The facts
in the case are these:
A few months since the Department for
wardcd to California the official evidence on
which the charges OF fraud against Collier
are based. The United States District At
torney brought the matter before the grand
jury of San Francisco. who have found a
true bill against Collier for feloniously using
) $780, coo of the public money, as the De-
partment have been notified. The officers
started after Mr.. Collier. (who was at Steu-
benyle, Ohio, when last heard from, by
the Nicaragua line-the Understanding
California On the lst of July. The advices
received by the government, satisfy them
that true bill Will also be found against
Mr.. King, (also a Wing official for improp-
crly using some 100000 OF the public
funds. Whatever may be the final result
of these trials, says a Washington paper,
we feel assured thai the Government are
satisfied that they have ample proof hand
20 bring about a prompt conviction in both
cases. The penalty in each case Is not less
than six months and not more than ten
yeara' Imprisonment.
Such cases of Wing plundering are of
every day occurrence. And with view
to cover up their inlquitv and stupendous
swindling, whi9 papers keep up continual
bowling about ''locoioCo corrupiionW I'll
may be said with truth, that the stealing
of the ''pcopie's" money by whig officials, |
during the past four years, IS without par
lllel in the history of any government
There seems to have been nothing more nor
less than regularly organized banditG
among them, extending throughout every
monetary Office in their possession. The I
Wing Gardner swindle, the Wing Galphin I
;windIe, and others Of like magnitude, are
yet wildly remembered by the people
Ne have now the Wing Collier swindle,
which the Bachcye moIostly tells its readers
