WINTER.-On Monday morning
this venerable parsonage, came in from
the North making call for old clothes
and comfortable fires at the same
time taking up the withered leaves on
the earth and dancing about the corn
ers with their lifeless trunks. All
that was gay and beautiful at spring
time must now wither and soon the
funeral dirge Of the old year will be
sung by the winds of December. Let
it pass-though we may sigh for the
memory of the present. when it is
gone; let it be brief sigh and leave
no traces of its existanee. Life at
best, is short, its season is too soon
over, to allow much time to be in
dulgea in brooding over the memories
Of the past. Let them pass on to OBJ
livion, after the holy lesson they in
culcate has been craven on the heart.
The pestileuce goes with the dieing
year; let both be shrowded in the
same winding g-sheet that the memory
Of both may be forgotten together.
They teach us the Christian lesson
we cannot live always, therefore
should the whole race be united in the |
bonds Of Friendship love aud truth"
JAIL BREAkING.- On Sunday morn
ing last between the hours of 3 and 4 |
o'clock, four negro men confined in
the old jail broke through the wall
and escaped. 1t seems that during
the day on Saturday, they had stolen
a erow-bar used in the construction of
the new Jail and secreted it under their
bed clothes. With this they managed
to make hole in the wall Of the first
floor, large enough for four of The
Of their company to get
through. A fat fellow put his head
and shoulders through the opening but
could not drag his body; in this man-
ner the escape OF others was prevented
A prisoner in the upper story gave
the alarm, but it was not heard in
time to secure the four men on the
outside. The jailor offers reward
of $50 for their apprehension.
Since writing the above one of the
negroes has been captured.
Es- At the landing Of the Gypsy on
Monday, we observed three casks rolled
ashore, that did not wear much the APP
pearance Of hardware = on close in
spection we were pleased to find them
directed to an establishment, that with
is usual foresight in spiritual move
nents as well as temporal, seem to an
.icipate the action of the next legisla-
,ure; and the certain influence the
Southern Organ is seeking after. We
'hould not suppose from the supply
y the Gipsy, that it would give out,
before another reaction takes place in
spiritual affairs" f.
