The Iceberg.

AuC 4CCucIS.
Then there are at sea particular spectacles of
enhancing interest one, at least which
must take leave to describe. | refer To our en-
counter with large company of icebergs.-
Perhaps no other sight in the world makes an
impression more unique and profound. Being
in a steamship, we could in the daytime with
ou, peril draw near to them, and get good
views at greater and less distances, of their
motion and bulk There they lay, floating
along in fellowship, the strangest sort of host,
Of all things living or inanimaie in the world.
Like the migratory birds, they were seeking
warmer clme-not, however, 10 refresh, but
to lose their existence. Bits of pole, they had
broken off from their parent source with The
cold instinct of death al their heart, that they
must hurry on 10 waste away and as each
day they missed something Of their icy frame,
and turned uneasly with the shifting weight,
10 and fro in the waters, they were in them
selves so many prophecies, that whatever is
frosty and furbldding in the creation must melt
in the mldntss of equatorial airs and the tro-
pic foods of eternal friendship and love.
Meanwhile, they themselves made a pretty
sharp winter around US, though, SO great was
the curiosity TO survey them, we willingly, at
the early dawn, breasted the boislerous and
cutting wind to gaze long at their solemn troop;
and one sick invalid Of our party was lifted
-, no.
dow in the side of the ship at these new monu-
ments of power and tokens of purity. OF all
shapes ard sizes, they silently swan upon their
way.
The Lord loves variety in all things-the
crystals Of the mine, the flowers Of The fields,
aud the mountains of The earth, and also in what
beforehand we might think only monuIonous-
these cones, and domes and spires, and pyra-
mlds-or shall they not be called chains of icy
hillsl-upon the sea. So the eye was drawn
10 examine, with ever new surprise and delight,
this manifold archilecture-Egyptian, Grecian
and Roman by turns. In the great draft OF
water required fer their enormous and solid
lows as the largest ships are, but seem 10 sail
on in sublime aud sluic disregard, or with al
least faint respect for wind and storm. One
tremendous mass heayed its bulk not fa- from
US, and, as it swept along, seemed temple OF
God upon the deep. IL foundation sank low :,
where beneath the superficial action of the fer
cest waves, il could rest, without rocking upon
the waters, quiet as the solid granite oflhe land.
It's tower shot up like an aspiration TO the
sky. Full in front of the rising sun, il swept
onward, lis sreeple blazing as never upon The
earth blazed marble in the light Of day and
whatever use il did TO serve in the great econo-
mics of nature, it at least answered well for
any ttoughtfnl observer the purpose for wor-
ship in the ministry of the soul. Slowly south
ward it moved ard faded by degrees away,
bearing some holy thought 10 lis shrine of ma
ierial sancty, aud taking its place in memory
forever-though It's temporary and fugitive be-
ing is long since dissolved-and among bethels
of prayer.-C. A. BartOl

the brilliant crowd around, the color
deepened in her delicate cheek, the
light of her rich blue eyes became
every instant moro intensely radiant,
and a smile of ecstasy played round
her eager and half parted lips ALI

miration arose-.-and, maddenedby the
scene, the sounds, and utterly unable
to control my feelings, rushed wild

few minutes in the open air, and in the
beautiful grounds adjoining the house,
when the sound Of coming steps in

not why, but my heart instinctlyely
told me whose those footsteps were,
and, with sort of desperate calmneSs,
silently waited their approach

cheek---I heard the low whisper of De-

round my neck, a fragrant mouth was
breathing close to my cheek, and sweet
blue eyes looked smilingly into mine.

looking lovelier than ever in her mod

only ornament the simple chain of

Our system Of doing business is such
that all may confidently rely on get
ting the best price and early return for
their produce, making it a universal
rule to deposit the Planters money in
Bank, for their own especial use, and
not ours it is therefore, always ready
for them when ordered OF called for.
The practice of specializing on the
Planters funds has, in a great many
instances, resulted disastrously toboth
parties. We, therefore, discard that
principle as illegitimate and dangerous.
We promise strict attention to our pa
irons interest
Having secured the services Of SUI
perior Cotton Salesman, and being
provided with ample room and fac
ties for doing Cotton Business, our
customers may rely or the best prices
and quick sales. The consumption of
cottonnow equaling the production, we
think the planters may safely antici-
pate an ample remuneration for their
labor for years to come.
All cotton consigned TO us will be sto-
red in substantial brick warehouse
and insured, unless otherwise instruct
ed.
Our terms for storing and selling cot
ton is.tJ1y cents pei. bale. Liberal ad-

q Gard to the Public J..

| am compelled to take this
method to correct a rumour, which
has been extensively circulatedin
the county, which places me in
very false light before the COM
munity.
News came to me from various
persons, that David Duke Esq,
had at divers times, and in sundry
places, taken occasion to state
what he said was my position with
regard to Taxes; of these rumors
[ will say nothing, because | do
not wish to involve any one but
myself. On last Monday, during
the sitting of the Police Court, un-
solicited, in a speech, of some
length, of which | was the burden,
he Duke told the court that in
an article in "The Pamela STAR" |
had recommended a tax of fifty per
cent to be levied for county pur-
poses, and that he could not see
why | wished the taxes high if it
were not that might get the per
cent for collecting, or words of a
similar import. | denied having
written such an article, and at the
request of the court read the COM
munication referred to, in which
there is no such expression, or
meaning. Esq, Duke then said
he had read the article only once
but that he inferred from it, that |
was in favor of high taxes, l then
asked him, in as much as he had
misrepresented me there and else
where, to correct the impression !;
he said he would do no such thing.
After the court had adjourned, |
sent to him friend to see if we
could not make an arrangement,
which would prevent unpleasant
feelings; he still said he had moth
ing to take back, and that l might
"rip-ahead." | pronounce the
statement made by Esq. Duke that
day, before the Court, as touching
myself, and those of a similar ma
ture made elsewhere, to be wholly
untrue In substance and detail nv
language has been misquoted, my
meaning perverted, and his infer
ences are false I deny having writ
ten or said anything in favor of
high taxes here follows the para
graph from which he draws such
wonderful differences:
''Heretofore our county scrip has been
Ebelow par, but this need not be the case
any longer, for there are plenty of funds
in the hands of the county treasurer. to
Fliquidate all the claims against the coun-
Fty. This is as it should be. Previous to
this, it has been the case, that when a
spublic job was let out, it was generally
done at a discount of from 10 to so per
SCENT. Any one doing work for the coun-
sly after this time, may be assured of get
ting their scrip cashed Immediately on
presentation, unless the Police Court
shall retrogade back to the old ruinous
COURSE
Amy one can see at a glance,
that the truinous course" spoken
OF above, is that Of suffering the
county to become bankrupt.
l cannot conceive why Esq.
Duke has pitched into me in this
manner; l never injured him;
have always been his friend ant
supporter, and am not his enemy
now; but l cannot be misrepre
sented tamely by any man.

PAINTING AND POWDERING.

We must positively place our
seal of condemnation on the prac-
tice of powdering and painting, so
extensively practiced now by the
ladies. The rouge box is consid-
cred Indispensable, and accompa-
MES them even in paying calls. 1t
was my melancholy duty to assist
in gathering up the fragments of a
buggy that had been dashed to
pieces by a runaway horse ; the
lady, who had fortunately alighted
from the vehicle before the horse
started, manifested great uneasi-
ness about the fate of paper box
and its Notwithstanding the by
ISLANDERS to seek for it in such a
manner as to impress upon their
minds that it contained something
valuable. Presently it was found,
and, 10 a fragment of a looking
glass, two balls-one white and
one red-a nice bruSh-like ball,
composed principally of white
down.
The lady received it with many
thanks, and was presently seen
standing "aside'' in dry goods
store, diligently busting her face
with the downy ball.
Her face soon underwent the
necessary repair and showed 10
traces Of the fright occasioned by
the running away of the herse.
. We abhor the unfairness Of this
practice-passing chalk and red for
fairness and bloom. 1t is an midi
rect falsehood. How can a woman
have a faithful heart when her
cheeks are false.
