YOIITIFITL DREAMS.

Youth is the time to dream. The young
man looks forward with hope to the bright
ness of the future. The young maiden
whose soul is purity and innocence, gazes
forward from the Threshold Of her budding
affections to the great realities of existence.
She paints lover all manliness, love and
beauty, all virtue and true nobility Of char.
acter. Even now, in the vividness of her
ideal, she loves, worsllips the bright being,
whom, poor, bIushing girl we are afraid she
will never find. She pictures the bridal day
with its mingling joys How fondly her
lover looks upon ber-and how earnestly
he promises to love, cherish and protect her,
till death sewers the golden knot.-Then she
imagines The home that will smile blessings
under her fostering guardianship. She dreams
how fondly her husband will love her. How
fondly she will love her hushand-how
smooth and unrufled &ill be the current of
their daily joys!
Trusting girl she mikes no allowance for
family jars, none for washing days Or tight.
ness in the money market. She wonders in
her simplicity that men have ever quarreled
with their wives, or wives with their hus.
bands. She will have none of it. If she
had painted the scene for Paradise it could
not have been more harmonious. Thus she
dreams, but the reality, alas is often sad
commentary on the folly of dreaming.

THE CRADLE AWAY UP IN THE GARRETT.
By NJ. LOUISA CHITwooD.

IT WAS an old fashioned little cradle. The
proud daughter.ia.law would scorn to have
it in the nursery. Her children sleep in
dainty cribs and the relic of olden times is
pushed into a darkened corner, away up in
the garret. 1t is quiet autumnal day !:
such days are full Of memories; !; and the old
grandmother is thinking, thinking. She
arises, at length, and toters up, and up, the
lofty flights of stairs; she passes through the
elegant rooms; she gains the garret, and
sinks down beside that unsightIy cradle; and
bows her trembling head over it, as il watch
ing the sIumbers of babe. That little old
garret, with one long beam of sunlight
streaming from the high window; and the
spider webs woven over the rafters; and one
cricket, singing .lonesomey from some ST.
lent corner is a good place TO dream.
Memory is unfolding picture after picture,
for the grandmother to look upon
She sees cabin home. 1t is in the flush
summer time; there are green boughs in the
fire place, and around the clock, and over
the mantel board. There are short, white,
muslin curtains, drawn partially across the
windows. There are two beds, with bu-
reau between, standing in the eastern part
of the room; and little stand, with the
bible and hymn. book upon its white fringed
cover, beneath the little looking glass. There
is her cupboard, with its brightly polished

FOREIGNERS.

Now we affirm, says the Richmon En-
quirer, speaking Of the prevalent abuse OF
foreigners by the new secret party, that the
indictment against foreign.born Americans
is a gross aud infamous libel; and we cha.
lenge proof of the degrading accusations
OH which they are arraigned before the world.
Are they Lesotted, ignorant, vulgar crew,
as painted by Know Nothing scribbers
For answer, we poin, to Agassiz, Lieber, and
other distinguished savants and literati OF
foreign birth, who contribute their science
and their genius to the glory of America.
Are they lazy vagabonds, without stake in
the community! The intelligent, Industrious
and thrifty merchants, Of loreign.birth, in
our own cities may answer this interrogato.
ry. Have they exhibited incapacity or inf.
deity in discharging the duties OF citizenship
Ilave they been lukewarm or treacherous in
the hour of trial? In reply TO this question,
and in general attestation of the character
of our foreign born ellow.citizens, we will
adduce the authority of one whom the Know
Nothing Wing press will not undertake to
discredt. Hear what Winfield Scott, the
late candidate of the Know Nothing Wing
party for the Presidency, affirms of the pa
triotism and character of our iorelgn.born
population:
"You have been pleased, sir, to allude to
our adopted citizens. | can say that the
Irish, The Germans, the Swiss, the French,
the Britons, and other adopted citizens,
fought in the same rank, under the same
colo,s, side by side with native Americans,
exhibiting like COURAGE and efficiency, unit
ing at every victory in the same enthusiastic
shouts in honor of our flag and our country.
From Vera Cruz to the capital Of Mexico
there was generous rivalry in heroic daF-
ing and brilliant achievements. Let those
who witnessed that career Of ralor and pa
trotism say, if they can, what race, accord
inp to numbers, contributed most to the gen.
eral success and glory Of the campaign.
In the many hard fought battles, there was
no room for invidious distinction. AL prou-
ed themselves the faithful sons Of our be'ou.
ed country, aud no spectator could fail to
dismiss any imaginary prejudice he might
have entertained US to the comparative mer.
its of Americans by birth and Americans by
adoption"
And mark, this language was spoken, moi
in the progress of the canvass, when it might
have been the utlerance of interested mo-
tive and biased judgment; but before Gen
eral Scott was candidate Tor the Preslden
cy, and is therefore the honest and deliber
ale conviction Of his mind. 1t was spoken
at Elzahe,htown, New Jersey, Immediately
after his return from Mexico, in reply to
deputa,ion from the Common Council o.
New York.

THE LATE ADMIRAL PRICE And THE SAUCY
LACK,
A late San Francisco paper says:

A late Dan FRANCISCO paper says
"The obituaries in the late English papers
contain notices of the life and services oi
this officer on the Southern Coast Of the
United States during the last war with Great
Britain. Admiral Price, in cruising up and
down the Southern waters, met in his raids
on our commerce, off the Carolinas and
Georgia, with the celebrated American pri.
vateer, the Saucy Jack. This vessel was
fitted out in Charleston, South Carolina, and
was owned by Messrs. Everhard & Co., of
that city. In vessel Price commanded he
was fallen in with by the Saucy Jack, under
the command of Captain Alexander Taylor,
or Captain Thomas Jervey, from the above
port. The privateer was armed, we believe,
with some ten guns, and manned with over
eighty Carolina and Yankee sailors. The
English vessel was said to be Of much supe.
rior force, but the American vessel, nothing
daunted, unhesitatingy engaged her, and
had close and desperate conflict with her
antagonist. The action was honorably men,
toned by the Government authorities at
Washington and some Of the histories OF the
last war, and is still fresh in the recollection
of the old sailors of Baltimore, Charleston
and Savannah.
The Saucy Jack was one of the most
successful privateers of the last war, and is
said to have made immense sums Of money
for her owners only. In a cruise under the
command of Captain Tay lor, she recaptured
from a British prize a French vessel filled
with fine parapherualia and costly wines and
merchandise, for the Royal Court OF his
Sabel Majesty, King Christophe, at Cape
Hayden. The prize was brought into Char
lesion, and the cargo, consisting of many
articles in great demand, at war prices sold
for large sum of money. Both Captain Jer.
vey and Captain Taylor afterwards received
appointments in the Custom House OF Char.
lesion, under the Administration of that just
and true patriot, James Monroe-the man
who made an offer of his whole estate TO his
country when in her extremities for fluids
Such man could not and did not die rich, as
one bright Fourth Of July plainly showed.
Captain Taylor's family still live in his native
place of Charleston. He died from the ef-
fects of wound by cable, in 1923. Cap
tain Jervcy was afterwards appointed Cap
tain Of the Port, or Naval officer, at Char
lesion, where he died, we believe, about
lS44-leaving a character in every way dis
tnguished as the Sailors Friend and an old
fashioned Carolina gentleman Of a true, lib-
eral and Christian heart. His descendants
still live in Charleston. The old Captain,
like his companion, Taylor, died without
any extra quantity Of the worlds riches.
Taylor died poor, as open.handed Sailors
never fail to do-witness old Truxton and
hundreds of other Ancents of the Sea.
There are doubtless at this time in CaliIor-
MIA old officers aud seamen who know of
the fame Of the Saucy Jack of Charleston.

EAGI For TILE TIMES.

A worthy gentleman, now deceased, but
formerva valued citizen and sagacious coun-
try merchant Of our District, who had sold
out (under Judgments in his favor) the little
farms of many poor man in his neighbor'
hood, declared few years before his death, to
friend of ours, that he had been too hard OH
the poor, with reference to his own pecunia-
ry gain. He said he had not q doubt, but
that he would have been better off, as to
property, himself, if he had delt more tenient.
iy towards his debtors. He proceeded to
explain, that if, instead of selling out his
poor nrighbor's land, to pay the account the
poor neghbor had contracted with his store,
he had iudulged these neighbors and given
them time to pay, as they might be able,
they could have worked along paying IT..
tie ut q time, and continuing TO trade with
him. But by pushing them for their little
debts, he had caused them to be sold out,
and that in very many cases, in order to try
to save his debt, he would bid off their land.
In this way, while he accumulated on his
hands a vast body of land, that he could not
turn to any profit, he lost by removals, SO
many of his neighbors, that bis mercantile
business was SO seriously ly curtailed, that he
was an actual loser by the operation.
Such was the experience Of one who had
few superiors in practical wisdom, and whom
the world called sagacious and shrewd. His
experience as related by himself, not many
years before his death, to friend of ours
who related it to us, is full Of wisdom, that
might be needed to advantage by some al
the present day.--Spartanburg Spartan.
