How, pauSing amidst my play.
A sweet. voiced streamiet, had ave TO my

It's accents were pleasant, and potent,

To call the sweet flowers into birth;
Its half-aroused laughter flowed soft, and
The bob-o-Iink's boisterous mirth.
Il called me to come in the bright morning

To revel with bees midst the bloom;
At the noontide il sang OF the cool green

Far away in the woods deep gloom.

Seemed an Eden of love and of light.
Now childhood and youth, far behind me
they lie.-

On passed away hopes, and their voices
come blent
With tones of those waters sweet fall.
But sometimes. oh, sometimes. those bright
waters sing
In liquid, and beautiful key,
That comes 10 the TeGry Of earth, like {

A sweet hymn, that pictures too family bu

OF the sweet voiced waves of the river o.

Seif-Helping.


Some persons seem fitted by nature
and education to adapt themselves to
any circumstances; while others feel
lost if the associations of their birth
are torn away. These, dependent on
habit and precedent. are mere vessels;
they receive what fortune gives them
but they dread to stand on new path,
lest lion should be in the way, or it
might lead down to death. So they
tremblc and despair.
But the self-helping mould circum-
stances to their need; they make ne
cessity take shape from their will. Ii
one resource fails them, fertile in expe-
dients. they try another. Never paus-
ing to fear, they resolve to do some
thing; and they do it. The very force
of their resolution draws friends around
them; and their cheerful courage
smooths the path to success This is
positive life; the other is living death
how many drag through it,
Courage! one and all. Resolve to
do all you wish done Look not for
ward to some windfall: nor sit gazing
on the old shoes of rich relative.
Give to the winds all ideas of prospect
i've extraneous help. Set about the
work yourself; one step taken. the next
is less difficult. By-and-by, progress
will be easy, unless You depend on
others. Remember, 1.-The gods help
those who help Themselves" Use your
own resources. You have none? How
much time and vitality do you lose
every week in murmurs, regrets, and
enervating reverics? Folly use this
time and strength to purpose. Every
body has some resource. If he has
only an earnest wish, he can direct
this toward heaven; which is the ster
onward; then, as means present them
selves, he can take other steps. But
do something; never waste life in re-
grets.

The Slave Trade.

\ Charleston correspondent of the
Southern Citizen, says:
"Of the slaves imported by the
Wanderer, some are said to have been
taken into Edge6eld district. and
thence distributed to other sections of
the State. If so. they were taken
there by men of high character. and
above the filthy lucre of the thing.
The men in other sections Of the State,
who have received them. have done
SO, not for the reason that they were
slaves, but that they were Africans.
In that district, three primary meet
ings have been called by the resistants.
The first was failure. The second,

An anecdote j. related OF a court
held in village during the past year,
which we regard as one of the richest
IN its line, of any that has been record
ell. and give it 10 our readers as nearly
as we can recollect il.
The case on trial was for the sale Of
liquor. The principal witness was
singularly obtuse; and though confess
ing to having made a purchase. could
not for the life OF him tell what the
article was. The most ingenious
questioning would not bring it out.
At last the attorney asked him. "How
did it taste?"
Il d'no."
Here the court" interposed. allsg-
ing that to be an improper question.
and inquired of the attorney why he
put such an interrcgatory.
"Well, your Honor" replied the
attorney, Il was unable to make the
witness tell what kind Of liquor he
bought; but thought that il he would
tell how it tasted. the court uould be
able 10 determine for itseIf,"
The hit was too palpable: and rot
even the solemnity of the place or the
cause. was sufficient to suppress the
mirth of the audience.

to protect our persons from the attacks

wish the Legislature to deprive any
person Of the ability to swear. Oh.
no. But we want our ears, and those
Of our children. protected from its con-
tamination. To the moral nature of
the young, profanity is an absolute
poison. Our streets are full of little
boys not vet in their teens, whose or
binary conversation is full of horrid
and disgusting oaths; who can seldom
speak in the presence of their play
mates, and not utter obscenity and
profanity. We ask our municipal au-
thorities to keep these oaths and this
language out OF the streets-that's all.
We subscribe to the doctrine that every
mans domicil is his castle. Within
its sacred precincts he may swear and
blaspheme to his hearts content, so
far as we are concerned. But what
right has he to infest the streets and
infect the atmosphere? We ask for
no law to compel profane swearers to
speak decently or be virtuous. These
matters arc between themselves, their
consciences, and their God. But we
do ask that our moral sense and sense
of decency be protected from outrage.
We demand government to protect
us from all well-known causes of
crime and decentralization: for which,
as in duty bound, we will ever pray

What did the wife? She Immediately

few collars. pins, needles, and some
small fancy articles, which she might
offer to ladies, at their homes, and
thus earn her living. Her character
was known; and she was trusted.
Yes; she became pe'ldler. The la
dies on whom she called were pleased
with her cheerfuIness, elegant man

her whole stock of goods. The mer-
chant was promtly paid; more goods

at Beach Island, was attended bv X
teen persons. eight of whom were in
favor of rcsolusions censuring the i'm
portation, five were in favor of resolu-
tions approving it, and three were not
in favor of any resolutions at all. The
third, near the center of the district,
was held week ago, and was attend
ed by about one hundred persons, a
very small majority of whom opposed
minority declared unqualified approx
al, and from previous indications it is
not improbable that another and still
larger meeting will be held, and that,
extending thence, this form of discus
sion will overspread the State. When
fairly started, every popular motive
will extend the movement; and it is
by no means certain, therefore, that
lis widening waves will not break up
all the political network of the
country.
''lt is manifestly the policy of the
Government to stint this feeling of its
prOvender. and so emaciate it: but this
it can not do without evils equally to
be dreaded. The slaves were landed
in Georgia, and to the solidity of the
laws in suppression of the trade they
must be referred. Bills, therefore,
have been found in both the State and
Federal courts against the parties re-
ported to have introduced them. These
must be tried, and that will feed the
feeling. If acquitted, it will inspire
courage. convicted, sympathy. Sc
also with the poor prisoners of the
Echo. They are still in dungeons,
and that, after they were spared by the
grand jury, is a source of feeling
They must come again before the court
in April. Thence again will go this
story to the country. Even those who
would respect the law themselves. are
unwilling to enforce it against foreign
ers. The fate of the ketch Brothers
is undecided. The Julia Dean has
been brought into Noriorlk. and SC
the Government is under the fatal ne
cessity of ministering to an excite

sible interest in allaying. Prudence
would dictate the propriety of with
drawing from the treaty to maintain a
squadron on the coast of Africa, and
SO avoid the odium of furnishing any
but those who come within the limits
of our jurisdiction, but it has been a
merciful dispensation of a benefcent
Providence, that power which ought
to be subverted has never had the pru-
dence to perceive the pressure of op-
posing principles, and it is to be pre-
sumed, therefore, that the power o.
our present Government will also be
pressed, with fatal persistency, to {
final issue.

1t is common! 1t is awful AL
most insensibly those VINO detest it
most are found to initiate others, from
constant contact with those who habit
ually use prolane language. 1t should
be talked against and written down.
1t is national disgrace--a national
nuisance also. In some States it is a
crime that involves punishment by le-
gal process. 1t should be so every
where. We hope our good friends at
the Tea Table will not hesitate to ex-
press decided aversion to the man
who forgets to be a gentleman, and
habitually loads the atmosphere about
him with profanity. Read the fol-
lowing:
Is there any country besides our
own where the Almighty is so often
called upon to send into eternal per-
dition the souls of those who offend
each other? Every where that horrid
imprecation, so familiar that it is un-
necessary to shock you by writing it,
meets the pained ear. / say panied,
because /, for one, can not abhor it
less on account of its frequency, or
consider it less disgusting because it
filters through aristocratic lips. Every
where it pursues me-in crowded
streets, in omnibuses, and, | am sorry
to say, in re,irements which should
afford refuge FROM the disgusting
habit; from old men, whose toothless
lips humble it almost inarticulate;
from those who would resent to the
death any question Of their claim to
the title of gentlemen; from young
men, glorious else, in the strength and
vigor of youth; and sadder still, from
little children, who have the trick, and
handy curses at their sports. An oath
from a child's lips! one would as soon
expect thunderbolt from out the
heart of rose; and vet there are those
who deliberately teach little children
to swear, and think it sport when the
rosy lips, with childish grace, lisp the
demoniac lesson.
An oath from woman's lipsl
With shuddering horror we shrink
away, and ask what bitter cup of
wrong, suffering and despair, man has
doomed her to drink to the dregs, ere
she could so belle her womanhood.
One lovely moonlight night was
returning late from the opera, with a
gentleman friend, the delicious tones /
had heard still floating through my
charmed brain. Suddenly from out
dark angle in a building we passed,
issued woman, old not in years but
in misery, for her long brown hair
curtained face whose beauty had been
its direct curse. To my dying day /
shall never forget the horrid oaths of
that wretched woman. as she faced the
moonlight and me. Perhaps | had
evoked some vision of happier days;
when she, too, had a protecting arm to
lean upon; sure l am, could she have
read my heart. she would not have
cursed me. Oh, the dreadful reckon

who defaced this temple of the living
