IN THE RIGHT BE STRONG.

Go boldly forth and fear no i'll,
When fierce oppressors rise;
Let mental strength Astounding still,
Such puny foes despise.
Though stung with many bitter word,
And prosecuted long,
Yet let them pass as if unhcard,
And in the right be strong
The noblest causes ever known
Have met with scott and jeer-
The brave, though journeying alone,
Should never yield to fear
Go onward-up the rugged steep,
Beyond the tagging throng;
Thy own hearts counsel wisely keep,
And in the right be strong
Although grown weary, strive not less,
No duty leave undone;
Soon will @oppressors join to bless
The deeds thy daring won.
The strife once over, then will earth
Send forth her sweetest song,
To laud and bless the noble worth
That in the right was strongl
Have faith-have courage-never fear,
The promise is in sight;
TIE lamp of Truth is shining clear,
To Danish Errors night.
Though trials gather thick and fast,
And all the world be wrong;
Onward, still onward to the last,
And in the right be strong

CIR ENOUGH SLEEP. We have often
heard young men remark that four or
five hours sleep was all they wanted, and
all that the human system required .---
The habit Of going without sufficient
sleep is very injurious. Thousands, no
doubt, permanently injure their health
in this way. We live in fast age,
when everybody seems to be trying
to inyert the order Of nature. II
folks will persist in turning night in
to day, it is not TO be wondered at that
few last out the allotted term of life. -
No matter what be mans occupation
physical or mental, or, like Othello's,
"gone, and living in idlcness con-
stitution cannot last, depend upon it,
without sulhciency Of regular and re-
freshiDg sleep. John Hunter, the sur
geon, died acknowledgements aGec-
ton of the heart, a disease greatly en-
couraged by want Of sleep. In a just
published volume by medical man,
there is one great lesson that hard stu
dents and literary men may learn, and
that is, that Hunter probably killed him
self by taking too little sleep. -Four
hours rest at night and one after dinner,
cannot be deemed sufficient 10 recruit the
exhausted powers Of body and mind. -
Certainly not; and the consequence was,
that Hunter died early. If men will
insist on cheating Sleep, her twin sister,
Death" will ayonge the insult.

FACTS About TIE PRESIDENTS. -Four
Of the first seven were from Virginia. -
Two Of the same name from Massa-
chusetts, and the seventh from Tennes-
sec. All but one were sixty six years
old on leaving Office, having served two
terms; and one Of them who had served
but one term, would have been sixty-six
years Of age at the end of another. -
Three Of tho seven died on the 4th Of
July, and two of them on the same day
and year Two of them were on the
Subcommittee of three that drafted the
Declaration Of Independence, and these
two died on the same day and year, and
on the Adversary of the Declaration of
Independence, and just half a century
from the day of Declaration. The names
Of three Of the seven ended in "son, +"
yet neither of these transmitted his name
to son. In respect to the names of all
it may be said in conclusion, the initials
Of two Of the seven were the same, and
of two others that they were the same.
The remaining one, who stands alone in
this particular, stands alone also in the
love and admiration of his countrymen
and the civilized world-WAsHINGToN
Of the first five, only one had son and
that son was also President.

New POSTAGE LAw.-The following
regulations have been made by the Post
master General, in order to carry out
the provisions of the act just passed, re-
curing prepayment on all transient
printed matter, viz:
|. Books not weighing over four
pounds may be sent in the mail prepaid
by postage stamps, at one cent an ounce,
any distance in the United States under
three thousand miles, and at two cents
an ounce over three thousand miles; pro-
vided they are put up without cover or
wrapper, or in cover or wrapper open
at the ends or sides, so that their char
acter may be determined without re-
moving the wrapper
2. Unsealed circulars, advertisements,
business cards, transient newspapers, and
every other article Of transient printed
matter, except books, not weighing over
three ounces, sent in the mail to any part
of the United States, are chargeable
with one cent postage each, to be pre-
paid by postage stamps. Where more
than one circular is printed on sheet
or circular and letter, each must be
charged with single rate This applies
to lottery and other kindred sheets as
suming the form and name of newspa-
pers; and the miscellaneous matter in
such sheets must also be charged with
one rate. A business card on an unseal-
ed envelope of circular subjects the
entire packet to letter postage. Any
transient matter, like circular or hand
bill, enclosed in or with a periodical OF
newspaper sent to a subscriber, or to any
other person, subjects the whole package
to letter postage; and whenever subec
to letter postage, from being sealed o.
from any cause whatever, all printed
matter, without exception, must be pre-
paid or excluded from the mail 1t j
the duty of the postmaster at the mail
ing Office, as well as at the Office of de
livery, carefully to examine all printer
matter, in order to sec that it is charged
with the proper rate of postage and t.
detect fraud. At Offices where postag
stamps cannot be procured postmaster
are authorized to receive money in pre-
payment of postage on transient matter
but they should be careful to keep
supply Of stamps on hand.

A HEARSE,

We are requested to state to the people of York
vlle that our enterprising young friends, Messrs.
WALKER & WEIxERT, propose to build Hearse
for the use of the place, if they can get the proper
encouragement. They will construct one for a
reasonable price or keep it themselves to be hired
at moderate rates. An expression of the citizens
generally is desired on thesubject. 1t is scarcely
necessary that we should explain the proprety Of
such an innovation. To many it will be sufficient
to say that other places have them. To those who
wish more serious reason, we would say that
there is decency and convenience about n Hearse,
which cannot we'll be dispensed with without the
appearance of barbarity. Besides, it adds to the
solemnity of the funeral procession, that solemn
pageant, which reminds US at once of our mortali-
ty and our Immortality. We may put back the
great thought or hide it in the busy cares of life,
but friend after friend falling around us, will
bring again and again to our mind the beautiful
lines of Mrs. Hemans:
"Leaves have their time to fall
And flowers to wither at the North winds breath
And stars to set-but all
Thou hast all seasons for thine own, 0 death ~
1t is solemn thing to die-to 90 to the dream
less sumbers in the "narrow house." and the care
bestowed on the silent realm of tombs is not the
pompous trappings Of vanity. There is on elo-
quence in those marble monitors of the destiny
which awaits all, that teaches US on important and
useful lesson. Every town should have spacious

NORTH CAROLINA,

A writer in the Greensboro Time, takes occasion
to boast Of the Old North State, in the following
manner:
"The State of North Carolina is situated just
half way between Cape Sable of Nova Scotia and
Cape Sable of Florida, and her politics are just
half way between the free soiers of the North and
the sccessionists of the South. She contains so,
704 square miles or about one fifty eighth of the
territory of the United States and thousandth
part of the land surface Of the globe Her great
est length is only $50 miles and her greatest
breadth 220 yet go varied are her soil and climate
TINT all the agricultural and horticultural produc-
tions Of the Union are raised within her limits
She is the only State in the Union, which, in 1850,
filled up all the blanks in the census reports. On
the same parallel of latitude $50 within her bor-
ders, are produced cotton and clover. uheat and
rice Irish potatoes and sweet potatoes barley and
peas iron and lead, copper and chalcedony, jasper
and silver and mica, gold and garnetts. She con-
tains every mineral and precious stone mentioned
in the description of the New Jerusalem, Rev.
xxi"
We clip from an exchange another item of her
greatness. Honor to whom honor is due-but the
"secessionists of the South, would not be losers
if this star Of her glory would set forever. We
suppose the writer of the above was too modest
to publish the following fulsome piece of 1attery:
"Five thousand eight hundred and eighty. one
barrels of whiskey, containing forty one gallons
each, were conveyed over the Seaboard railroad
between the first of january, 1856, and the first
of February, 1867, to various points on the line Of
the road and the contiguous parts of North Caro-
lima" .-

cold weather. Cold rains and severe frosts have
prevented seeds in the ground from terminating; /;
and excepting a. few Apple and Cherry trees fruit
sail killed, and every kind Of vegetation wears
gloomy appearance. 1t is feared that the wheat
crop is damaged
: The Galveston Civilian, of the 11th, says: In
Texas VIC have information that the frost on the
night Of the 9Th very ga;.erally killed the young
cotton, and materially injured the corn though
much OF it is not killed. Fortunately large a
plnnHt of the rcplant cotinu WAS not yet up, and
will escape injury. This visitation upon our State
has been quite general W. have IN reason to
: fear That good crops may not yet be PRODUCED
late as it is, as such things nave happened in form
! er years.
| letter from Texas. dued 9tkfnst.. says that
Cotton and Corn of the second planting, and just
up to fine stand were I'll killed and that there
was not seed enough for n third plnnting, so that
! the loss would be disastrous to planters, who had
made short crop last year. \ letter from Mo-
bile says that in the interior Of Alabama. Corn
was cut down and all Cotton that was up, was
killed A letter from Memphis, Tennessee, says
that the late heavy frost would compel planters in
! that vicinity 10 repiant. The Nashville, Tenn,
Patriot, of the 2lst inst, says that almost every
! thing in the shape Of vegetation has been killed
or withered by the continued cold weather.
! Browuville and Matamoms were visited by o
snow storm on the 18th Of March, followed by a
hoar frost, which killed the tender vegetation.-
Such o visitation was never before known at that
! place.
A gentleman just from Dallas, who is largely
engaged in manufacturing -four in that place, ex-
presses the opinion that the late frost has not se-
riously injured the wheat crop of that country,
though he left home two days before the FROST
Should this crop have escaped harm, he says
very large amount Of -four will be brought to lious-
ton by wa gons, to find market there and in this

THE e. G. RECORDER.

We have received the April number of this neat
College monthly. With the exception of frequent
typographical errors, showing negligence in read
ing the proof sheets, it makes fair appearance.
THE Battle of Bloody Brook" is failure so far
as therhymeis concerned. "Youths" and "troops"
'sone" and ''song" "youths" and ''fruit'' and
many other instances are farfetched and not much
after they are brought. The prose essays are
generally good We had the pleasure of meeting
one of the young editors-AIr ". L. Pressly,
few days ago. Ills soi"uru in Oar town was too
brief for him to sec all its beauties, but we hope
he was we'll enough pleased to ''call again" II
he is judge of beauty, as we believe he is, he
saw enough to make him often revert to the fleet

UN1yERsITY OF VIRGINIA.

We are indebted to Mr.. A. A. MOORE for q
Catalogue of this institution. The total number
of students in attendance is six hundred and forty
FIVE of which fifty are from South Carolina.
There is one feature about this University,
which We should like to see adopted by this State
in reference to the S. G. College, viz The provision
for the admission of fifty students without pay-
ment of Professors fees or University charges
Another wise regulation is that students are not
admitted under the age of seventeen unless they
accompany an older brother. Merchants and 9TH
ers are prohibited under severe penalties from
crediting students, who are required to surrender
all their funds into the hands of the Patron. The
Library contains about twenty-five thousand vol
umns.
