Going home! That home, unlike those
of earth; when once its portals are passed,
sickness and sorrow, death AMI change are
unknown. A home whose gates are nlaid
with precious stones, and whose streets are
paved with gold. Streams there are, ON
whose banks perennial flowers bloom,
"lbat make glad the city of our God"
There the society will only be the pure and
holy. The only employment, singing "rhe
aong of redce,ning love-" and worshiping
and adorigg our Creator. Aud Jesus will
be there. ''1Ie will feed me, and lead me
unto living fountains of water and God
shall wipe away all tears from mine eyes. /"

HARD SERvtcE.--In conversation with
our friend Todd, the indefalgable Mail
Agent on the Columbia and Greenyille
Railroad, he incidentally mentioned some
Interesting particulars as TO his mail service
We trust he will llpardon their publication,
as they possess interest to the public.
Since his appointment, August 26, 1853,
he has made 585 trips as Mail Route Agent
over the Greenvlle and Columbia Railroad,
286 miles to each trip, making l67,3lo
miles travelled During that time he has
mailed over $4,000 letters. He has en-.
ploycd substitutes for only FIVE trips, and
hasnever lost a trip on accouu: of his own
sickness.
Has any other man in the State Travelled
as many miles IN three years and nine
monthsG 80
II the Government had as faithful and
punctnal agents on some other roads, we
might get some of our mails more regular
ly, and in better time Carolinidn.
