NloTnERs OF WAsu1NeroN AND BYRON.
-" \ good hoy generally makes a good
man." said the mother Of Washington,
' George was always good boy" There
VIC see one great secret of his greatness.
George Washington had mother who
mado him good boy, and instiled into
his heart those principles which raised
him to be the benefactor Of his country,
and one of the brightest ornaments of the
void. The mother Of Washington is en-
titled to nations gratitude She taught
her boy the principles Of obedience and
moral courage, and virtue. She, in great
measure, formed the character of the hero
and the statesman It was by her own
fre-side that she taught her playful boy to
govern himself and thus was he prepared
for the brilliant career of usefulness which
be afterwards pursued. We are indebted
to God for the gift Of Washington but
we are no less indebted to him for the gift
of his inestimablo mother Had she been
a weak, and indulgeni and nnfaithful pa
rent, the unchecked energies of Washing
ton might have prepared the way for life
of crime and dishonored grave.
Byron had mother Just the reverse of
lady W ashington and the character Of
the mother was transferred TO the son. We
do not wonder then, at his character and
conduct, for we see them 10 be the almost
necessary consequences Of tho education
he received, and the scenes he witnessed
in his mothers paror She would at one
time, allow him to discbey with impunity (;
again she would fly into rage and beat
him. She thus taught him to defy au-
thority, human and divine to indulge
without restraint in sin; to give himself
up 10 the power Of every maddoning pas
sion. 1t was the mother Of Byron who
laid the foundation of his prcemlnence in
guilt. She taught him to plunge in the
sea Of profigacy and wretohedness, upon
whose agitated waves he was tossed for
life. II the crimes of the poet deserved
! the execration Of the world, the world can
not forget that it was the mother who fos,
tered in his youthful heart those passions
which made the son IL curse to his fellow
men. Had Byron and Washington ex
changed cradles during the first months o.
their infancy, it IS very certain that theil
! characters would have been entirel,
changed and it is by no means improba
ble that Washington might have been the
licentious proaIgate and Byron the ex
emplar OF virtue, and the bene factor 0
nations.

BpINGING AN OBSTINATE JUROR TO HIS
SENsEs.-The Santa Cruz Sentinel gives
the following account Of a method adopted
in its town to overcome the objections Of
an obstinate juror
Persuasion and starvation are the sp-
proved common law methods of producing
the above result but model method was
lately tried in this town. By some means
a fellow juror, an utter stranger to his
brother jurors, was placed upon tho jury,
who dissented from the verdict agreed to
by the other eleven. They came to a joint
conclusion Of guilty without delay, but the
stranger pertinaciously held out against
them. After an hour of argument, with
no avail, it was at last proposed that the
jury should return verdict of guilty by
eleven jurymen, who believed the other
one to be confederate of the prisoner,
and as great rascal This ended it
stranger saw twenty Vigilance Committees
in his minds eye, and in FIVE minutes the
jury unanimously returned verdict of
guilty"
A Nervous TRAvELLER.-Saysa writer:
recently took trip west, and while pas
sing over the E & Fl. r. R.. being fond
of " the weed" had taken my seat in the
baggage car for the purpose Of indulging
in a Havana" when nervous individual
entered the car and commenced overhaul
ing the baggage. The baggage.master
after cycling him a moment accosted him
rather grufHy with
What's wanting, sir P'
" am looking for my trunk" demure-
ly answered the nervous man,
&" will take care of your trunk, sir
that is my business" returned B. M.
90, I am aware Of that, sir, but ]
would always much rather keep my trunk
under my eye"
Well then, sir, you should have beer
born an elephant, and then you could have
your trunk under your eye the whole
time"
The nervous man suddenly vamosed
WHERE TEEY LEARN IT," don't se
where my children learn such things" i
one of the common phrases in the moth
er's vocabulary. A little incident whicl
we happened to be an eyewitness to, ma.
perhaps help to solve the mystery. W
smiled little at the time, but we hav
thought a great deal of it since, and "
trust not without profit
"Bub," screamed out little bright
eyed girl, somewhat under six years O
age, to youngster seated on the curb
stone, making hasty pudding of the mu
in the gutter, Bub, you good-for-notl
ing little scamp, you come right into tn
house this minute, or III beat you til
the skin COMES off.
"Why, Angelina, Angelina, dear ,wha
do you mean? ? where di you learn sue
talk ?" exclaimed the mother, in a wor
dering tone, as she stood on the step
courte-saying to friend.
Angelina looked up very Innocent.
and answered, Why, mother. you sc
we are playing, and he is my little bo.
and 7 am scolding him, just as you di
me this morning, that's ALL"

The wise man who knows whether
it is going to rain," writes thus to an ag-
ricultural paper, on the subject Of know
ing what the weather will be
When you wish to know what the
weather is to be, 60 and select the small
est cloud you see keep your eye upon it,
and if it decreases and disappears, it
shows state of the air which will be
sure TO be followed by fine weather; but
if it increases in size, take your great
coats with you, if you are going from
home, for falling weather will not be far
of. The reason is this When the air
is becoming charged with electricity, you
will see every cloud attracting all lesser
ones towards it, until it gathers into a
shower; and. on the contrary, when the
fluid is passing off or diffusing itself. then
large cloud will be seen breaking to
pieces and disappearing"

PAWN TOLL" The principal avenue
of our city," writes learned friend in
Detroit, " has toll-gate just by the Elm
wood Cemetery road AS the cemetery
had been laid out some time previous to
the construction of the plank road, it was
made one of the conditions Of the compa-
ny's charter, that all funeral professions
should 60 back and forth free. One day,
as DR.. P-,a celebrated physician,
stopped to pay his toll, he remarked to
the gate-keeper
Considering the benevolent character
of our profession, l think you ought to let
us pass free of charge"
"No, no, Doctor" the keeper readily
replied, "we couldn't afford that. You
send to many dsad heads through here
as il is."
Tho Doctor paid his toll, and never
asked any favor after that Ezchange.

TERRIBLE AFFAIR IN DARLlNGToNS--
We learn from a gentleman from Darling
ton, that on 4th inst, ut Cartersyille, CHS
elvlile or Windham's Box, (for the place
rejoices in all three names, happened one
of the bloodiest affairs that ever took place
within the limits of our State. 1t seems
ttiirdt the. Vigilance Committee having come
into the possession of the information, that
at this place there was great deal of traf,
ticking with, and selling liquor TO the ne
groes in that ncighborhood aud determined
to put a stop to IL. Therefore they sent
message to the owner of the " Doggery,
that they would give him two days to re-
move his whskey, Nc, or they would emp
ty it. A challenge was sent back for them
to come and take it. Accordingly, ON
Thursday, the Committee assembled some
fifty members, and approached the store,
where they were met by about twenty-five
of the opposite party. A difficulty cnsucd,
when a person by the name of Windham.
fired at the Vigilance Committee, but did
no damage. He fell dead immediately,
having been pierced by four or five balls.
a general battle took place, which resulted
III the death OF four persons, two of whom
were killed Immediately, and two subse-
qucntly died from their wounds. Two be-
longed to the Committee, and two to the
other party. Others lie in critical condi-
tions, but we hope that no others will die.
We give the unvarnished tale as related to
us, and will give further particulars next
week. We learn that the excitement is
intense CAcro'c Hcro1d, 9M.
WHAT RAILROADS. HAVE DoNE-Ac-
cording to the estimate, "the United States
has increased in wealth full thousand mil
lions of dollars by railroads. p They have
certainly contributed more to the prosperity
of the country than they have proved re-
muuerative to their owners. Without rail
roads we could never have been the wide
extended republic that we have grown !;
with them we can enlarge our territories
still further. 1t is fortunate conjunction
of events that the locomotive and the mag
netic telegraph, two of the most potential
contrivancos for annihilating space, should
spring into existence just as new republic
was extending its power over a continent.
SMASH UP.-We learn from "A friend
that an accident occurred on the Greenville
d Columbia Railroad, on last Tuesday
morning, of serious nature. When q mile
and half above Golden Grove, the down
passenger train was brought to by the break
ing of an axle belonging to the tender. The
conductor Immediately sent negro back
to notify the freight train, which left Green
| vile an hour after the passenger train, of
the accident. The negro did not 90 far
enough up the road, or else did not give
the proper signal, as the freight train, go
ing at the rate of twenty miles an hour, run
| into the passenger cars, shattcring them in
pieces. A lady and child who were seated
in the hind car, fortunately escaped unhurt:
We have heard the damage estimated at
$4,000. The Anderson train took the pas
scngers and mail on to Columbia.
