EDGEFIELD, s. p, JUNE a. 1851
TIE BENEFITS OF RAIL ROADS.

We take the following from the Editorial
Correspondence of the Patriot d. Mountaineer
Last Wednesday morning L started to Co
lumbia with my family, and as we passed rapid
ly on, could but notice the new impetus given
to labor and capital all along the Greenville
Railroad. There were old fields, grown up in
pine, cleared again to make wood for the engine
Great quantities of timber were to be seen
every where for the use of the Road. New
houses have been built along the line-steam
saw mills have been put up-lands have in
creased in value two, three and five fold, since
the Road was projected-villages and towns
have sprung up, as if by magic between Colum-
bia and Greenville. That tide of emigration
which onceialmost depopulated the upper Dis
tricts of South Carolina, has ceased, and our
people now love to live where their fathers lv-
ed before them. All this change, progress and
improvement, we owe. to the system of Rail
roads in South Carolina. A few patriotic and
enterprising men have generously expended
their money for the good of theif country. In
this State it is badge of patriotism to own
Railroad stock, and every man Of wealth or
means should be ashamed to confess that he is
not the holder of such stock.

LOVET0 MAN,

Abu Ben Adehm-may his tribe Increase
Awoke one night from deep dream of peace
And saw within the twilight in his room,
Making it rich and like a lily in bloom,
An angel writing in book of gold.
Exceeding peace had made Ben Adchm bold,
And to the presence in the room he said,
What writcst thou The vision raised its head,
And with look made all of sweet accord,
Answered, The names of those who love the Lord
And is mine one Ben Adehm asked. Not so,
The angel said. Ben Adehm spoke more low,
But cheerily still, and said I pray thee then,
Write mine as one who loves his fellow men.
The angel wrote and vanished. The next night
He came again, with great weakening light
And showed the names whom love Of God had
blessed,
And 10! Ben Adehrn's name led all the rest.
LEIGH HUST.

THE TURN OF LIFE.

Between the years of forty and sixty, man
who has properly regulated himself may be
considered as in the prime of life. His matured
strength of constitution renders him almost nm
nervous to the attacks of disease, and expert
cnce has given soundness to his Judgment. His
mind is resoute, firm and equal allahis func-
tions are in the highest order; he.. assumes the
mastery over business; builds upga.competence
OH the foundation he has formed in early man
hood, and passes through a period OF HE atten-
ded by many qualifications. Having gone q
year or two past sixty, he arrives at critical
period in the road Of existence the river OF
death flows before him, and he remains at a
stand still. But athwart the river is viaduct,
called .aThe Turn OF Life" which, if crossed
in safety, leadsto the valley of sold age, round
which the river winds, and then flows beyond
without a boat or causeway to effect its passage.
The bridge is, however, constructed OF fragile
materials, and it depends upon how it is trod-
den whether it bend or break. sGout, apoplexy,
and other bad characters are also in the vicinity
to waylay the traveller, and thrust him from
the pass but let him grid up his loins, and pro-
vide himself with fitting staff, anu he may
trudge on in safety with perfect composure.
TO quit metaphor i" The Turn of Life" is a
turn either into prolonged. walk, or into the
grave. The system and powers having reached
their utmost expansion, now begin either to
close like flowers at sunset, or break down at
once. One injudicous stimuant, a single fatal
excitement, may force it beyond its strength
whilst careful supply Of props, and the with
drawal of all that tends to force plant, will
sustain it in: beauty and yigor until night has
entirely set in. ,4sa. s7
