Forbearance.

There is no virtue which Temperance strives moreto

manwho will follow closely its teachings, and observe
honestly its requirements who will not experience

These are words of immense truth and force requiring
really more Doral courage and frmness than is fire..

qurng skill to be sure, but otener physical force
Courage and energy may accomplish it easily, and at
the same time be the very instruments Of ministerng
to personal vanity and qualification. An Alexander
might conquer the world, and yet be slave to his
own passions and appetite. he is only free man
in the full sense Of the word, who can rule his spirit
This requires more true moral courage frmness and
selfsacrfce than great military chiefains are COM
monty found to possess Unfortunately our bravest
men are often the soonest slain and alas too often
the noblest spirits are the first to be humbed in the
dust Appetite is cruel tyrant and he is not free
man who is led captive at its will. He that ruleh his
spirit must so discipline his mind as almost by intui'
ton to discard every sentiment and feeling thererom
of doubtful propriety or of hurtful tendency. By
the term, He that rueth his spirit" understand s
meant perfect control over SELF and subduing Of
the inner man under complete mental discipline which

direct them into proper channel A man may ac-
quire great worldly hme-yca, by bis extraordinary
military skill take even city with as much ease as
ever Napoleon Bonaparte did-and yet that very man
may be an obedient subject to some gross passion
which enslaves every faculty and sentiment Of his NOR
al parts yes the willing captive to some unholy appe

M.Ion PERRY.--This gentleman amuses his
leisure moments in Court at the city Of Wash
incton in fabricating ridiculous comparisons for
South Carolina "sccessionists. A crazy man
comes into Court and announces that the Union
is dissolved, and for this intrusion he was prop
crly sent to prison. "ses there" says the MAJOR,
"therc goes secessionist. and straightway writes
this ridiculous absurdity to the Patriot. Every
drunkard thinks himself the only sober man in
a crowd, and every inmate Of Bedlam believes
the world gone mad. May not this be the Ma
jor's prcdicament!
We should not be surprised ifhe sues out a
writ de lunatico inquire''do against South Ca
roIra before he leaves Washington. DR.. Gardi-
ner: the Dentist. may probably furnish him with

WHOLESALE DESTRUCTION OF LETTERS
On Wednesday last seven hundred bushels, or
about one million, of dead letters were de-
stroyed, in accordance with the usage Of the
Post Office Department. They were carted to
Monument Square, and spread over line Of
two or three hundred feet when the match was
applied. The entire mass of combustible ma.
terial was soon in blaze, and several hours
elapsed before the conHagration was completed; /;
the official attendants meanwhile rakiug the
burning fragments to facilitate operations.
The atmosphere for thousands of feet around
was filled with charred fragments. A large
number of persons witnessed the proceedings
with much interest - Washington Republic.

Snrinp has Come.

How delightful is the Spring Season, when nature
assumes her wonted cecrflness having disrobed her
self Of Winters grey suit putting on the varegaed
coors of the season. With birds and flowers all seem
bright and Joyous The soul which cannot feel the
charms offspring must indeed be cold and unhappy
Welook forward with joyful anticpations to this de-
lightful, season. and may well exclam-.
"Come, gentle spring, ethereal mildness, come,
And from the bosom. Of yon dropping cloud,
While music wakes around, yelled in shower
Of shadowing roses, on our plains descend"
There is melancholy pleasure in contemplating the
changes ofthe seasons, AID hew apty do they Illus
trate :he changes Shuman,lifc Spring may well be
called the bright and joyous days of childhood-Sum
mcr tile full bloom ofle-and Autumn its sober and
sedate time Of frefectiopWnter the stern season of
declining years All of these have deep and signif
cant meaning. We have the spring, the soft season
of our youth With buoyant hopes and joyous hearts,
we gladly welcome its approach; but oh to how many
does this season have but few charms? The spring
time Of the heart with them is gone and ais but one
unchanging Winter. Then may We not minister to
such whilst our cup may be full, are we to have no
thought for others around US? Yea let US think that
time to mourn may soon come, aud we shall need
the sympathetic tear and that it is not always Spring
Spring will soon pass away and let its record secure
for US an Inheritance in that better land where Spring
eternal and never changing Spring abidcs Our ideas
of happiness cannot be very correct if we conne them
to earth, for
"Such is life, awhile we play
Enamored of each fragile flower.

,Carolinians,, which, together with the novelty
of the thing, drew out quite large concourse
of our citizens TO witness the arrival of the two
trains. they came evof in quiet, handsome
style, andwere greeted with a shout, which was
cordially responded to bythose within the cars.
There having been no previous arrangement,
there was no ceremony; and the visitors there

We cannot deny ourselves the pleasure it
affords US to welcome, most cordially welcome

to cultivate more intimate personal and com.
mercial relations between the people.-Augus-
