For the Spirit of the Age.
To the Social Circle.

DEAR CIRcLE:-Hope you will pardon q
stranger for addressing you SO Familiarity,
and thus forcing himself uncalled for into
your literary sanctum. Altho' unknown to
you, yet | have for long, long days that have
passed and gone, been holding sweet con-
verse with the Circle; and therefore know
that this innocent little drop from a sea-shore
fountain, will, if found worthy. introduce me
to a little band of kind and noble hearts, and
forgiving dispositions. And now, while hui
mid night and setting strars bid sleep, l find
myself beside my little table with my most
intimate companion, a camphene lamp, land,
gentle young ladies. | am ashamed to acknowl-
edge it. for / have been tossed on 'life's stor-
my sea- for many a long years, and / am not
an old bachelor nor a widower) and with the
exhilarating ~ music of thirteen or more
mosquitoes and half a dozen gallinippers,
and the unpleasant snorings of my somnifer-
Gus chum, a golden haired-blue eyed little
boy of fifteen, trying to frame a passport
graceful enough to give me admittance into
your social pArlor so exquisitely furnished
with literate erudition. And in so doing feel
assured, Dear Circle, | wish not, / ask not an
elevated position, not the middle seat of your
embroidered COUCH but simply to be usher
ed in as a mere monogram and introduced tc
an humble seat on the velvet ottoman at char
ming Sallie's feet, where can see and mo-
be seen, hear and not be heard, where there il
not magma solitude but where friendship il
the ease and discharge of the fulness of tbs
heart
My predominant idea in thus addressing
you is, hereafter to PROFOUND occasionally
subject, rather to ask the better Judgement
on certain topics, of some one of the learned
Circle, the talented Editor or the gifted Ed
tress, knowing that your great desire and in
tention is TO raise the standard of Southern
literature, impart knowledge, plant and Gu
tlvate the seeds of virtue, do good in a genel
al way, and last but not least to extend ae
quaintance. If, Dear Circle, you think thi
will answer for my debut. l will close witt
!, the wish, that the laurel wreaths, with whic
you have so long decorated the columns
the Age, may never wither and decay, br
; emain fresh and green, and be handed dow
as monuments of your goodness and grea
/, ness, to generations yet unborn.
HARD.
Scott's Hill, 9th Aug, 1857.
, Welcome, gallant "HARo," to a seat
our Circle" and a home in our hearts
q You rightly esteem our object. and we shs
4 be pleased to hear a proposal Ladies, {
t generally, you KNOW and an calculation {
SO, in forwarding the literary and moral 0
= jeets We have in view. Let US hear fro
you soon. ]-CIRcLE.

SUDDEN DEATH.-A correspondent informs

fifth, of Dagie county. He was sitting in the
porch, as well as usual, and had justdespateh.
ed a servant on an errand, who had procee-
ded but short distance when he called to him
to come back Upon bisimmediate return be
found his master in the agonies of death, and
in a few minutes he was q corpse. The de.
ceased was subject to violent spasms. Mr..
e. was in the 60th year Of his age. He left
a wife and nine children to mourn his loss.

A KETCH

An old lady sat in her rocking chair think
ing of other days. Sadly she bowed her
head, and ~unconsiously uttered aloud her
th lughts. Il am g ting DID," said She
!" The SHOWS Of many winters have silvered
head with many a thread Of care, and
| am left all alone and yet | am not alone
tor He who has promised to take care of the
" widow and fatherlesss" is with me still
and though all the world may turn away
from me, He will still be my friend.
How strange is life !" How many chan
ges have come over me, since the season of
my golden youth. How well do l remen.b Der
my early days. Times have changed since
then. How little did l think when | was a
happy bride, that so much of sorrow and
care, would ever have been my portion. l
little dreamed that the one | then loved SO
wildly, would ever have been taken away
But, alas all this, and more, have come to
pass: My first, my only love, lies cold in
death. The heart that once beat so truly, is
stllled. No more shall | see him or hear his
loved voice, till the last trump shall awake
him from his dreamless slumber.
The old lady bent lower still, and her en-
feebled frame was swayed by strong emo
lions. The wind whistled without, the hail
battered against the windows, the darkness
increased, and ever and mon the vivid light.
nings played around about her! But she
regarded them not, her thoughts had car.
ried her back to the past, and she was revel
ling in scenes long since gone by. Again
she breaks the silence:
My children too, all have left me moi
one remains to cheer me in my old age
Some are dead some lave homes of theil
own, where they are too happy to remember
| their old mother; but | cannot blame them
they are only fulfilling their destiny. The,
are happy life's sky is bright above them
/, God grant that they may never know tn,
agony of feeling that they are ALL ALONE !!
Thus she sat and unused, till darkness hat
covered the face of the earth and thus vii
4 muse thousands of the human race. Fo
when we begin life, everything is beautiful
2 and fair, and we look forward to enioying
lifetime of pleasure. But as we get older
9 the prospect darkens, until ct last old az
d comes on, bringing sorrow and disappoint
ment.
I? How soop the dreams of earth depart,
n Its hopes, Oh vhat are they,
d How often from the dropping heart,
a They melt and fade away
Like the soft cloud that gently floats
Across the summer sky
n Like dewdrops differing meath the sun,
Earth's fairest visions die

Extinct of a letter :

We organized Cumberland Division, No.
l36, on the 9th of June, with s charter
members, and we now number 80, most Of
whom have never been Sons before and We
hope in q short time to number 60. We
have some opposition, but as you know those
that oppose temperance have little inf uence
above what the love of liquor gives them
we hope to break down all the dogeries after
q while.

bS Fifty years ago, George Peabody
lodged one night at the old Stickney Hotel,
concord. New Hampshire. He paid for his
lodging and breakfast by saving wood. Such
was the great American London Banker at
the age OF twelve. What has been done can

sr" Address before the Students and
others of Holston Conference Female Col
lege, at Asheville. on Commencement day,
1857 by Rev. E-astus Rowley, A. NJ" We
have perused this chaste and instructive
address with much interest and profit. The
gifted speaker does only justice to female in
tellect and character, by his strong endorse
ment Of the capacity Of the one for the high
est cultivation and the influence of the other
upon the destiny Of the human race. We
may take occasion to make some extracts for
our Lady readers.
We had the pleasure Of meeting with the
accomplished President of the Holston Con
ference Female College and his near 3O
pupils, while on our visit to Asheyille. Il il
perhaps the largest Female Institution in tn
State, and there are very many application
for admission, which have to be declined 70
want of room. Additions are being made t.
the College buildings, and in a short tim
some four or five hundred young ladies vii
be receiving their education there. In sue
a beautiful, healthy country, and among sue
a community, the Institution is bound to prC
.. gress to an unprecedented extent.

The Liauor Dealers.

There are certain wild shores infested by |
bands Of Wreckers, whose business it is to
watch along their dangerous coasts, and
seize whatever may float within their reach
from the wrecks on the ~neighboring shoals. |
To increase their chance Of such aecursed
spoil, they set themselves systematically at
work to bring about as many shipwrecks as
they can-false signals are given-beacons
are quenched-movable lights devised, and
every means employed to decoy vessels in the
ofing upon the fatal shore. Figure that
scene, when night and storm are on the deep
and the tempest bowls along the fatal reef
and through tbs darkness, family heard
above the roar of the surge, comes the boom
OF the signalgun,~ announcing a vessel in
distress A moment more and it comes
again, more distinct, and yonder, at length,
its light trembles to the eye as some billow
losses it above the horizon. The wall of
despair already comes to the aching ear l.
And here on the shore are voices heard, and
torches glance, but not in pity or for help
and on the cliff above burns the false beacon
that lured them to the rocksl A momert
more and she strikes And for an instant
while the storm lulls as if relenting, VOC
hear the shrieks of the lost, the cry o
the spent-swimmer and the case of the YES
sci as spills her treasures and lives into tn
deepl Witness what JOY is felt on tina
shore Their work has prospered. A littl,
floats to their hands-but ali! how little o
all that precious cargo! Yet that is theil
reward. For this they lured so much to des
t~ruction. Such is their business-and tn
brother of it is here amongst US. this trad
in drinks. There is a circumstantial horro
around the one, while the other works NOR
quietly, under cover, and by piecemeal br
in this essential feature they stand side b
side-they each create a vast inde6nii
amount of woe and damage to others, tn
out of the terrible wreck they may gain
little! And if the one deserves legal pr
lection, give it to the other likewise.
