REFUGEES FOR THE uNMARR1AiAs1x.

George billiard, in one of ls capital let
tiers from London to thessBoston Courier,
'speaks of a class of "sojohrners in London
who are men of birth and breeding, but not
possessed of an income sufficient to marry
for marriage, here, upon small income
is solemn thing-who have no homes, or
rather houses, oftheir own, and pass their
Lives in Lodgings with occasional visits to
the continent" etc. lie then proceeds to
speak Of the ''club life," which is the subs,i
tute, to such men, for domestic bliss -
: "Bubthere is one element in the life of
such man which I have not stated he
would, almost Invariably, be member of
someone 7of the many clubs in London,
which are such characteristic features of
anodern London life. In his club he would
find all the material comforts Of the most
Luxurious home, at a very moderate ex-
pense:-a well.chosen library all the lead..
in reviews, magazines, and newspapers,
foreign and domestic pen, ink and paper;
the attendance Of well-trained servants;
and besides these, he may take all bis
meals at: the club, and upon any scale of
expense that he chooses. Thsse CLUBS are
successful applications of aggssgation .lor
combination which lies at the bottom Of
so many Of the socialistic schemes Of the
presnkday the principle is right, and the
only question is how far it can be carried,
any fartheIfh than it has been done in. the
London club. The principle is, that what is
done for many moro cbeaply in proportion to
the numbers, than what is done for one

TO NTARATURH THE ARTS NHws poIrc


dollars ior the Ireasurers of the Poor, Road and
Public buildings throughout the State, and
this regard as at least seven thousand dollars
moro than it should be. 1t is to be borne in
m'nd that the commissions, though they are
large are not their only income; they frequeu-
tly have large amounts of cash on hand which
they use three or six months without accounting
for interest, and will just here take the last
| Reports of the Treasurers in our own District
for example. They had cash in hand the first
OF October over five thousand dollars, this
was IN their hands for three months at that
time, Qhe first of July ,eing the time pres
cribed by law for the Tax Collector making
settlement with the Treasurers) and presume
the most of this sum remained in their hands
to the first Of January, say six months. This
at the legal interest, would give them the sum
of one hundred and seventy.fve dollars Is
any reasonable man prepared to cay that the
use of this money for six months without inter-
eel is not ample compensation for receiving the
money from the Tax Collector, counting il over
and charging themselves with the samei
Now, sir, my position is, tho Treasures of the
Boards of Commissioners throughout the State
u
commission instead of six, and this would save
three and half per cent. this year OH two hun
dred thousand dollars, or the sum of seven
thousand dollars This added to eighteen thous-
and of additional or extra pay to the Collectors,
will make the sum Of twenty five thousand dol
lars. You and your readers have these facts and
calculations to examine. If my propositions are
fair, and the calculations correct think bove
made out my case-that for want of Legislation.
there will be twenty. five thousand dollars of the
''people's money" expended this year without any
equivalent This sum, OF course, is not very
large for the State Of South Carolina to give
away, but, Sir, it might have been applied to
pay the interest OH some OF the State debts. Or
if the Legislature had granted aid to tho Blue
Ridge Railroad it would have paid interest on
four hundred thousand dollars, at six and
fourth per ceul, which would have kept il in
motion. o
have only to say, in conclusion, Sir, that
hope this subject WtILbe taken up by some per-
son more capable than myself and discussed,
and when the next Legislature assembles,sthey
may see the propriety of netting in the case
The remedy is with that body, and sirould they
fail to reduce the present rate of commissions al
lowed to the Tax Collectors, and the Treasures
and Public Buildings throughout the State, shall
conclude that the men holding these offices,
have strong friends in the Legislature of our
State.

The night was made for cooling shade,
For silence. and for sleep,
And when was a child, laid,
My hands upon my breast and prayed,
And sank to slumbers deep;
Childlike as then, l lie to.night ~;
And watch my lonely cabin light,
Each movement ofthe swnying lamp,
Shows how the vessel reels;
AS Ger the deck the billows tramp,
And all her timbers strain and cramp,
With every shock she feels;
II starts and'shudders, while it burns,
And in its hinged socket turns,
Now swinging slow, and slanting low,
1t almost level lies;
And yet know, while to and fro

With restless fdll and rise,
The steady shaft is still upright,
Posing its little globe OF light,
o hand of God! o lamp of pcacel
Opromiao of my soul
Though weak and tossed. and i'll al ease
Amid the roar of shifting seas.
The ships convusive roll,
Z own, with love and tender awe,
You perfect type of faith and law!
A heavenly trust my spirit calns!
My soul with light;
The ocean sings his solemn psalms,
The wild winds cllant-I cross my palms.

Under the Gotta 9 roof again
I heard the soothing summer rain, -, 20.
