For the Western Democrat.
TO BELLE,

Fair art thou, Belle, in this thy bridal hour,
Sweet as springs earliest, timid, blushing flower,
Winning all hearts with unaffected grace
Asfondly thou dost gaze thy proud husband face!
Long may thy heart its dream of bliss enjoy!
Peaceful thy days, and "gcod works thy employ;
May he who doth thy pure affections claim
er find thy voice sweeter than the trump OF fame!
And when life's glorious sun with thee shall set,
With tears of grief shall many eyes be wet!
Thv soul shall bask in an immortal scene,
Where loce ne'er dies and Hiss is not dream

BE AGREEABLE.-Tn journeying along the
Road of Life, it is wise thing to make our fellow
travellers our friends. The way, rough though it
seem, may be pleasantly bcguiled with an inter
change of kindly Offices and pleasant words;
Suavitv and forbearance are essential elements OF
good companionship, and no one need expect to
pass through life who does not habituaIy exercise
them in his intercourse with his fellows. The
Ishmaelite whose hand is against every man may
die in ditch without finger being outstrctched
to save him. And why should we rudeiy Joste
and shoulder our neighbors? why tread upon each
others toes? The christian gentleman is always
careful to avoid such collisions, for courtesy and
loyalty to his race portion of his moral and
religious creed; to be loved and honored OF all, his
highest earthly ambition. He seeks to turn away
wrath with soft answer, and if brawler obsti-
naely beset his path, he steps aside to avoid him,
saving as my Uncle Toby said to the pertinacious
fly, AGO thy way; the world is wide enough Tor
thee and me-"

SLAVE MARR1AGEs-An interesting report
has lust been submitted by the Convention of the
South Carolina Episcopal Church, at their session
in 1859, in respect to the marriage of slaves. The
following is the substance Of the decision arrived
at by the committee. The relation Of husband
and wife is declared to be of divine institution,
and to be equally binding on the slave as on the
master. The injunction of the Saviour torblddlns
the separation of husband and wife is obligatory
on the MASTER and every master should SO regulate
the disposal of the slave as not to infringe the he
divine Injunction Voluntary abandonment on
the part of a married slave ought to come within
the same rule as in the case Of free person; but
when the abandonment is involuntary and caused
by circumstances without the control of the parties
the refusal of a I'd marriage would often produce
much evil and hardship; but, in giving its sanction
to such second marriage, the Convention would dc
so in the qualified language applied by the Apostle
to cases of self-restraint The report makes tho
remarkable statement that there is no instance IL
South Carolina of a legal divorce.

A HAPPY MAN.-Georgc W. Kendall, formerly
editor of the New Orleans Picayune; but who for
number of years past has lived upon his farm,
neal New Braunfels, Texas, writes thus glowlngly
to a friend in Boston -:
I have now about f0e thousand sheep, and all
fine stock | realized over seventy five per cent,
profit per annum on the investment since have
been here, which will do for hard times Flocks
now in healthier and finer condition than ever
NV good luck las lasted three years without
intermssion. Iwentto New Orleans last Christmas
time with n,y wife and oldest girl; was gone six
week which was quite long enough wouldn t
live in city if you would give me one |
am in the enjoyment of the very best health
and am now 10 years younger than [ was 10 years

Raz~ At the meeting of the Presbyterian General
Assembly in session at indianapolis, the chairman

FACTS WORTH KNowING-It is asserted that
a mans finger nails grow their complete length in
four months and a half A man living seventy
years, renews his nails hundred and eighty
times Allowing each nail to be half an inch long,
he has grown seven feet and nine inches OF finger
nail, on each fingers and thumbs an aggregate OF
seventy-seven feet and six inches: This shows
that nature intended that men should scratch Tor

DEATHS FROM JoY.-The English papers

TIE ADMINISTRATION AND ITS ABUsERs-
Some people appear to think that the present
administration is more abused than any preceding
it, and argue therefrom that Mr. buchanan must
havo lost the confidence of the country by some
improper act Those who indulge in this sort OF
speculation must have short memories or know little
Of the history of our country. Jefferson, Madison,
and Jackson, all had to pass through this merry
ordeal, and Mr. Buchanan is but enduring what
thew. and all who take a decided and manly part,
must expect from the opposition: We have seen
within few da,s past the Black Republicans
uniting to do honor to the birthday OF Jefferson;
The very men who while he lived, exhausted
language and their own ingenuity in framing
terms Of abuse and reproach, hyrocritcaly pretend
reverence for his name and laud him as the first
of statesmen. So with Jackson; those to whom
his very name was hateful, and who could i: not nc:
believe it possible for him to do or say anything
that was cht are now prepared to endorse him as
an able statesman and the truest OF patriots sc
will it be with Mr.. Buchanan.
