OF the South Carolina College, at Colum>

You are cmbarking upon strange

Aristides poisoned Socrates, murdered Ct.
cero and crucifed the Lord of Glory
The spirit of Themistocles, of Melitus, of
Anthony and Caiaphas is still in the world
greatly subdued and lawsbound, to be
sure, bu. not extinguished. You may ex.
pect, therefore, at times to be depressed
by your rivals, condemned for your patri-
otism, and tormented for your benefac-
tions; to have your conhence abused
your integrity dorideG and to suffer q
thousand impositions in smaller matters
from those from whom you had right to
expect better things. These arc hard
things to bear, say you. They are so, my
young friends, and you never will bear
them as you should, unless you take the
good book for your guide, and look daily
to its Author for supplies of strength suiii-
cient for your trial. Do this, and all will
bo well at last. With that chart in your
hand, now launch your barque upon the
troubled ocean of life; and when The
squalls strike you, be at least as prudent
as the common sailor, and be found hard
at the helm, with your Chart before you
and your eye fixed on Bethlehem's star"

hear the solemn midnight bells
In startling numbers tolling,
And Ger ny soul in heavy waves
A tide Of grief is rolling.
While all around, the happy world
In sweet repOse is sleeping,
feel so lonely and so sad,
My strength it yield; to weeping.
I'm thinking DER those youthful days,
Which bore no clouds of sorrow;
When bravo with hope, gladly wished
The com ing of each morrow.
Alas! ! wish no morrow now
Lile's hopes are from me taken
And now tread each shadow'd way,
By every joy forsaken.
About my room strange phantoms fit
My cherries fire is dying
And round the window comes the wind,
In mOurnful cadence signing.
Oh, where are they fondly loved
In youths bright summer weather?
What cruel fate hath broke the chain
That bound us then together?
| oft repeat their cherished Rumcs,
But no response is spoken
Alas my eyes are filed with toars-
lily once stout heart is broken.

fully pulling out all tho dry wood, started
with an armful FOR home. The Doctor,
instead of discovering himself, also started
with an armfql of green wood, and follow.

the man threw down his armful. the doc
