YELLOW FEVER.

We observe by telegraphic despatch to the
Columbia Guardian of Monday, that the Board OF
health report forty deaths from Yellow Fever IN
Charleston, for the week. including Saturday last.
The Charleston Mercury says that white frost
was observed on Friday morning last in the vicin-
ty of summerville, and that it probably prevailed
throughout the entire lower country. In the
course of eight or ten days, we think our people
need have no fear in visiting Charleston.

The wheel OF Life. .

I sat beside cottage hearth,
A wheel was standir z near,
A little infant Whirled IL round,
Then started back in fear.
Methought the mystic wheel ofTifs
Was whiTled by that fair child,
And nrstt the ever-leLgtbened cord
Was on the spindle piled.
Time, stealing near the clicking reed,
Was counting oGthe chain!
And every month he tied knot,
And every year skein.
At irst the thread was smooth and white,
No spot or wrinkle there;
For innocence the wheel did turn,
For lifs's immortal heir.
Soon coarser grew the rolling thread,
Uneven gre " the skein;
And passion, with its crimson dye,
Began to leave its stain.
And louder yet the spindle whirled,
And quick the wheel went round;
And fast upon the spool Of life,
Her thread the spindle wound.

men up 10 a conviction Of sin and change
their hearts, why does he leave human

omnipt tent power, and su6due all to him
self? Is any other course consistent with
infinite love? But man, acting as in frset
