business there is doing, to say nothing Of " sus-
pended paper" All kinds Of property, save cotton,
have gone down fifty per cent, and in the presel
depressed condition of affairs holders will feel
little like donating any considerable portion of it
to the purposes of revolution. State credit there
is none. And yet an army is to be equipped
and supported, Commissioners are to be sent
abroad, and thousand other things are to be
done, which must increase the burdens of taxa
ton to an untold extent.
1t is alleged that so complete is the prevailing
delirium that few of the South Carolina states
men have already selected for themselves missions
to foreign Courts. This i think may be con-
sidered the last instance of counting chickens

Charleston, which at this season of the year
is usually very much the resort of strangers from

at the hotels are next to nothing, and the pro-

falling off in every other branch of business.
The railways especially suffer from the absence
of Northern travellers. None of them, it is said,

DR.. Scotts Pacific Erpositor for this month
is as handsome and able as any of its pre-
decessors. The notes under the head of
"Church Intelligence" and Literary Record"
are fresh and readable. Here are some fine
lines contributed by G. 7. Sproat. They
were suggested by hearing "Old Hundred"
sung at the close of service in Calvary
Church-and splendidly sung too, with
swelling organ accompaniment, as we know:
Back, back thou earliest me, to the stormy days
of the old mountain Christians o, twas not
Through high cathedrals, that thy bass was rolled;
But amid caverns of the etc nal rocks,
Had among cliffs, the pealng sound went up
To the great ear of God! Did he not hear
And send an answer back to listening hearts,
Stiiling their agony, and stamping them
With faith sublime and hope that cannot diea
And the great band of martyrs sung that hymn
With strains fire could not quenchl Down, down it
rolled
Through the old. hoary agesI Mighty hosts,
Throng upon throng the aged and the young,
The brave, the wise, the beautiful, and good,
Have chanted it with faces beaming bright,
And swelling hearts, and eyes up raised to God!
O, how our fathers loved theel They were old,
And wore the crown of glory, silver hairs,
On brows all scanned with age. The falterug voice
Grew strong again, the dim eye lighted up
With Gods own fire. az from thy hal!owed strains,
They caught new inspiration; and the voice
Quivering with age, sung with the tones of youth,
The song the great Reformer sung.
oh! how sweet
Our mothers sung thee DER our cradle bees,
Or sat upon their knee at eve,
Gathered around the cottage frei
The infant band
Have lisped it, their only earthly song,
Then laid them their mothers breast, and slept
Their little life away. Had they not gone
To sing it with the angels?
Dying men,
Out on the sea, or lost amid the sands
OF the great desert, in the lonely hut
Beneath the palms, in heather lands have sung thee
And by their bed the poor idolatrous
Hath wondered at that sudden burst of joy.
And the 'great company before the throne"
Who sung thee here earth, do they not chant
Beside the crystal river. in such strains
As angels use, each with his harp of gold,
Be Thou, On GoD! EXALTED HIGH!

JAPAN AT THE BAY.-Those of the Japanese
who roamed over San Francisco at will, en-
tering stores and public buildings, factories,
&c showed great interest in what they saw
In many of the stores they made purchases
of notions, pictures, books, and whatever
arrested their fancy, and in every instance in
sisted on paying the money. When the ar
ticles which they wanted were offered them
as gifts, they invariably and pretty positively
refused to receive them. The money was
carried by servant in large bag or bun
die, and seemed common to all, and con-
sisted wholly of Mexican dollars Highly
colored Autographs were much more priced
than rich and elegant engravings.-Pacifc

An eastern Shylock dnnned a mercbant :,

An eastern Shylock dunned merchant to
whom he had loaned money until human en-
durance could bear it no longer. The mer-
chant walked from behind the counter, poked
the fire, turned round once or twice and then
approaching close to his tormentor, said
slowly, "Mr. --, do you think Professor
Ife6ster scas really to blame for murdring Doc
tor Parhman?" The old chap started sud-
denly, laid down his paper, took his specta-
cles in one hand, and hat in the other, and
left the store without saying word, and
has not been there since. As Webster mur-
dered Parkman because the latter bothered
him for lent money, the question scared the
old fellow nigh unto death.

An INDIAN TRADIrIoN.-There is tradi-
ton in California that Spanish galeon, from
Manila, was wrecked near Punta Reyes, over
hundred years ago, and the crew who were
saved made friends with the Indians, and
inter-married and died amongst them. Their
progenies were said to have often been met
with in the forenamed districts of country
prior to the foundation of San Rafael, from
their lighter color and more intelligent ap-
pearance. This was noticed particularly
among some of their chiefs, particularly
Marin.-A. S. Taylor, in Cal Farmer.

SINGING IN SCHooL.-"Music hath charms
to soothe the savage &C., and certainly to
cool down excited school boys, to refresh
them when jaded, and to give the school
room attractions. A pleasant lively song
comes in between the dry recitatons like
plums in mince-pie, like dinner between
the hungry hours, like bath on hot and
dusty day. 1t wakes up the drowsy, COM
forts the nervous, gives vent to the sup
pressed animal spirits. 1t promotes cheer
fulness and order; is a privilege thrust in
between duties, an oasis planted in desert

all means, and at any necessary expense

Now, more than ever before in the history

EDITORIAL CoNsoLATIoN.-When we glance

tobacco became universal within fifty years
of its discovery. Had we invented new
