THE SPIRIT OF SADNESS.
BY MRS. B. H. STONE

Gently DER my heart it stealeth.
Whence it comes / may not know,
flushing every tone of gladness,
Breathing music sad and low;
Hanging dim and shadowy curtains
Der the windows of my soul,
Holding breathless thought and feeling
Meath its magical control.
Dipping up the crystal tear drops
With dim and unseen hand,
Spreading wells of mist and shadow
Der the spirits fairy land;
Weary task to be repressing
Tears l dare not bid to mount,
And list their low quick dropping
Back into their hidden fount.
Oh, 1 know not why this spirit
Hath such power my soul 10 win,
Even while mine eyes are burning
Weeping silently within;
And low. quick sigh is stifled
Deep within my swelling heart,
As check with painful effort
Tears that to uIy eyelids start.
Happy voices ring ar ound me,
Lightsome forms are gliding by;
Falls the light on brows unclouded
As starlit summer sky.
Music, mirth together blending
Chain each sense with magic art,
All is bright, aud yet this gladness
Wakes no echo in my heart.
Do not ask me why this sadness
Sits enthroned upon my brow,
Do not bid my heart be joyous,
List its mournful answer now.
Should join your gladsome circle !.
Joy would cease it's happy flight,
Trailing in the dust his pinions.
Robbed of all their wonted light. >,
Swell on high your joyous music.
Let the laugh ring loud and light.
Leave me to my world of sadness,
For cannot smile tonight.
Gaze into my eyes and view them
Sending back no answering ray.
Leave me now until the morrow,
And l too will then be gay.

IF You're coming, why don't you
come alongp'

So "Mose" was wont, to say afore-tme,
and it embodies a "good bit'' of practical
philosophy. Every new engine shrieks
| it-every new railway is record of it
every line Of telegraph exemplies it. every
new medium of advertising illustrates it.
The saying originated in the "Bowery,' %
may be, but is destined to be a cosmopo-
lite. 1t began with individuals, it is going
on with nations; it will end with the world
s.If you're coming. why don't you come
along?' 1t is uttered in almost all ton
CUES, in almost all lands. 1t has rung
around Christendom: the iron bedstead
of Procrustes had been left behind, with
the torch and the faggot. II has sounded
like slogan through the political world
and the sold fogies" are among the lug
gage wagons and wounded.
It has electrified the realms Of litera
lture; prose is becoming the living voice
of humanity, and poetry. its echo. The
old Ramage press has given place to the
cylinders whirled by the painting engine
and thought. that moved at funera
pace, now rushes on in tremendous
! charge. The old 'Guard''and "Marion'

Another Editor has Gone

Where all must go-to that last, long, silent home
appointed for all the living and soon it may be our
lot to "jon that innumerable caravan and like our
esteemed friend and cotemporary take our "chamber
in the silent halls of DEATH" Wewere panied to hear
of the death of Joseph W. Ross Esq, the talented
and courteous editor OF the Pckeps Keowee Courier
The announcement was as unexpected and startling,
as it is painful to feelings, for when saw him
last few weeks ago at WILLIAMSON, the bloom OF
vigor and youth was upon his manly brow, and every
apparent and outward circumstance gave promise of
bright and happy future, wtha useful and honorable
career just before him. At the time Of his death Mr.
Ross wasa candidate fof the Legislature with every
reasonable prospect Of being elected he had held the
Office of Commissioner in Equity for sometime, and
was prominent member Of the bar at Pickens. The
following paragraph we copy from the Southern Rights
Advocate of the 9Th inst.
"No young man Of his age could boast of larger
number of true, warm-hearted friends than Mr. Ross.
Suavity of manner and pleasant address, together
with frankness Of heart, and openness Of disposition,
were admirably blended in his character hence his
in attaching friends to himself Possessing
uncommony high sense Of honor, he was governed in
his conduct as public officer, an Editor, candidate
aud citizen by the strict rules OF virtue and morality
His death, from the position he occupied, will be o
source Of and regret to every citizen Of Pen
deton District, will cast gloom over the Legislative

DEEPEST ARTEsIAN WELL IN THE WORLD
Wewere fortunate enough to direct our steps
towards Belcber's immense Sugar Refinery on
Saturday last, for the purpose Of making some
observations Of the artesian well, which is now
being bored at that place. Fortunate we say,
for we never spent an hour more to our inter.
est and profit than the one employed in wit.
Messing the operation Of the digging and in
learning the history and progress Of the work.
This well was commenced about six years
ago by Mr.. Belcher, his object being to secure
for the purposes Of his large Refinery supply
Of pure water. For six months the operations
were continued by hand, and reached a depth
of some two hundred feet below the surface,
when it was found necessary to employ the
agency of steam with suitable machinery.
Since the application Of steam the work has
progressed steadily and perseverngly until the
present time, when the incredible depth Of
twenty-five hundred feet has been reached
This is said to be the deepest artesian well, in
the world. One of the most important that
we now remember OF, is that of Grenelle, near
Paris, in which operations were continued for
eighty years, and which was sunk to depth
of nineteen hundred and sixty one feet below
the ground. And we believe there is another
somewhere in France which numbers about
twenty. one hundred and fifty feet; but nd
have yet reached the distance into the boweR
of the earth that this of Mr.. Belcher's has.

Elements have grown up, and hardy:pioneers

pouring in ;unfailing streams. But the fact s
that it is orlyswithin a year or two that the
real fertility of the soil of Iowa and the health.
fulness of its climate have come to be rightly
appreciated. Hence the rush of emigrants. y
1t is curious to- remark. howevey that all
parts Of our country appear, to be fourishing
and prosperous IN the; same degree, and this in
a ratio far beyond anything known in the pre-
vious history ofthe United States. Our read
ers will have seen this by the numerous para.
graphs we have published from time TO time,
showing the, population Of various towns and
cities according to local senumerations. OF
course. lis likely that the changes which may
occur between the present timesand the period
of The taking Of the next. United States census
may materially affect. the prosperity of some,
ofthose at present fourishing places; but the
increase has been 80 general and SO great that
we cannot help indulging in glowing anticipa.

Northern States, and we think, perhaps, also
in the Southern States, will be found to have
attained most surprising growth. So far as
our own city is concerned, we may speak con,
|fdently, las we are sure that in no previous pc
riod of our career has it made suchastonishing
progress. And from our own observation we
can say the same of New York and Baltimore.
In. fxet, these three great metropolitan cities
appear 70 be the trpest indications of the ma.
tional pulse at all times; and from their prox-
4 unity, and the intimate connection which sub

interests they caaHot help being alike prosper.
