FAST LIVING" Lord Byron" says Leigh
Hunt, /" used to 60 about humming all the
morning, and reserved his serious work for
the night He said himself, in converse
ton with Lieut.. Medwyn, that he largely
used the inspiration of gin" to keep up tired
and tagging nature. Schiller resembled him
in both habits. What was the consequence
Byron died at SO. Schiller lived on to 90,
but with broken constitution and shattered
energies. The fire Of genius blazed with in
tense and wasteful briliancy in both, but
soon burned itself out. Night labor and tht
inspiration of gin will make short work with
the most robust constitution.

INDIGESTION. Never be undecided. Never
if you can avoid it, be infrm Of purpose. AL
ways make up your mind to follow a certain
course, after due deliberation, and then when
you have arrived at decision cling to it. Do
not permit triling circumstantia influences
to interfere with your just conclusions. As
Brutus did when he condemned his son Titus
to death, so should you. Consequences are
everything Do right, and the consequences
will not in the end of matters, be disastrous
to you. DO light But strive, every day of
your life, to discover wherein right exists
and of what it is constituted. They who yielC
to accustomed INDIGESTION, will ever be un
prosperous, and, of course, unhappy.

The Mothers First Grief.


She sits beside the cradle,
And her tears are streaming fast
For she sees the present only,
While she thinks of all the past:
Of the day SO full of gladness,
When her first-born's answering kiss
Thril'd her soul with such rapture
That it knew no other bliss,
Of these happy, happy moments!
They but deepen her despair,
For she bends above the cradle,
And her baby is not there
There are words of comfort spoken,
And the leaden clouds of grief
Wear the smiling brow of promise,
And she feels a sad relief;
But her wavering thoughts still wander,
] i'll they settle on the scene
OF the dark and silent chamber,
And of all that might Lave been
For little vacant garment,
Or shining tress of hair,
Tesher heart in tones of anguish,
That her baby is not there!
She sis beside the cradle,
But her tears no longer flow,
For she sees blessed vision,
And forgcts all earthly woj
SANITY eyes look down upon her.
And the voice that hushed the
Stills her spirit with the whisper,
L" Suffer them to come to ME-"
And while her soul is lifted
On the soaring wings of prayer,
Heavens crystal gates swing inward,
And she sees her baby there

PLEASANT HoMEs.-The homes of America
will not become what they should be, until
true idea of lie shall become more widely
implanted. The worship of the dollar does
more to degrade American homes than any
thing than all things else. The chief end of
life is to gather gold, and that gold is count
ed lost which hangs picture upon the wall,
which purchases flowers for the yard, which
buys toy or book for the eager hand of
childhood. Is this the whole of human life?
then it is mean, meagcr, and most undcsira-
bic thing. A child will 60 forth from a stall
glad to find free air and wider pasture. The
influence Of such home upon him in after
life, will be just none at all, or nothing good.
Thousands arc rushing from home like these
every year. They crowd into cities They
crowd into villages. They swarm into all
places where life is clothed with higher
significance ; and the old she'll of home is
deserted by every bird as soon as it can fly.
Ancestral homesteads and patrimonial acres
have no sacredness and when the father and
mother die, the strangers presence obiterate
associations that should be among the most
sacred of all things.
would have you build up for yourselves
and for your children, a home that will never
be lightly parted with--a home which will
be to all whose lives have been associated
With it, the most interesting and precious
spot on earth. would have. that home the
abode of dignity, propriety, grace love, genial
fellowship, and happy associations. Out
from such home | would have good in
fuences flow into neighborhoods. In such q
home I would see ambition taking root, and
receiving all generous culture. And then 1
would see you, young husband and young
wife, happy. Do not deprive yourselves of
!, such influence as will come through an inst-
tuition like this. No money eau pay you for
such deprivation No circumstances but
those Of utter poverty can justify you in
denying these influences to your children

WHITE PEOPLE SOLD AS SLAYEs.-The Ab-
beville Gala Banner gives a curious case of
Villainy. 1t appears that Patience Hicks, a
young woman about seventeen years of age,
who was held as a slave by John Guilford, a
citizen of Henry county, under bill of sale
made to him by one JAMES @. Wilson was
brought before Judge Williams, under writ
of hGbeGS corpus, sued out by Mrs Casa Ann
Hicks, the mother of said girl, who arrived
in the town of Abbeville on Tuesday, the
9th inst On the trial of the case it was
proved that Wilson went to the house of Mrs
Hicks, in Columbus, Georgia, about the first
Of last March, where he remained sick for
several weeks. On his recovery, he desired
to marry the young lady, and finding that
her mother was opposed to their marriage,
he stole her away and brought her to the
mouse of Rev john Guilford, to whom he sold
heF Tor slave. On his return to Columbus,
her brother, boy about fifteen years old,
ana SOLD him to gentleman in Georgia.
Inc Rirl has worked on the plantation and is
considerably sunburnt, which makes her ap-
pear rather dark. The girl Patience had an
infant daughter.
The case was tried before Judge Williams,
of the Probate Court, and the mother and
child were released from the services of Gull
ford The Banner states, however, that the
counsel for Guilford have taken the case to
the Supreme Court, not with the expectation
of again ensEaving the girl, but with the ex-
pectatiOn of clearing Guilford Of the cost, i'm
posed upon him by The Judge Of Probate.

DOUGLAS AS BOLD AS EvER.-The following
is from letter in the Tribune, signed "a
Native Southerner," dated Washington, Aug.
Goth:
ION any evening may be found at the resi-.
dence of Senator Douglas, Democrats of all
shades as well as every class of fence men,
On Friday evening last there was quite a
large gathering there of politicians of all
stripes by special invitation. Prominent a.
mOng the guests were Senator Iverson. of Ca,
Mr.. Br6wh editor os the Constitution, Mr.
Cooihbs editor of the Republic, and many
other leadiug Southern and Northern party
men, There was much private and conf
Dental conversation between Douglas and
the representatives Of the different factions
there assembled. Mr.. Douglas appeared to
take all by surprise by the strong and deei
ded opinions he expressed in conversation
He said the whole slavery question was a
momentous one, and must be fought, and
fought now, to the end and the question
whether himself or another man was to be
nominated to the Presidency, sank into insig
niicance in comparison with the great issue.
He was very vehement in his denunciations.
and ridiculed the idea entertained by many
of his Democratic friends, that by the de.
cision in the Dred Scott case slavery existed
in or went into territories contending that
no such decision had been made, or ii made,
could have no binding force. Such an idea
was ridiculous in the extreme.
