The Poor DRuNKARp.--How few
pity him, and care for him9 When he
was a young man, and had means, or
the ability to produce means, he had
friends on all hands. But now that he
is besotted aud drunken, friends have
left him. He is the victim Of fraud,
the butt Of ridicule, the subject of scorn
and contempt, and the loalhing of q
community. Society damns him to
Disgrace and infsny-the law Furnishes
him rs a nuisance and vagrant.
Why sol lie has brought it upon
himself" says the multitude. The as.
sertlon may he true, and it may be false.
Who told him to take the first step 7
Who encouraged him, in his downfall,
t! drink? Who tempted and seduced
him by his efforts to indulge freely I?
Are there not those who did it, and
does not some of the curse lie at their
doors? CERTAINLY.

DIR. BACnMAN.-The editor of .he
Pee Dee Times, reporting a trip to
Greenville, says:
The venerable DR.. Bachman, whose
reputation as naturalist is as great in
Europe as in America, went down in
the same train. The Doctor had some
rare plants along, of which he was very
careful, calling them his children, and
guarding them from injury. He re.
marked that. unlike some of his brother
parsons, he had no apprehensions that
the discoveries Of science would tend 70
weaken the faith Of the world in the
truth of Revelation, but on the contrary,
believed that science confirmed Scrip,
ture.

ToUCuING ScENE.-A very touching
incident occurred at the funeral of Mr..
w. B. Clifton, who died in Louisville,
Ky. last week. Prior TO his decease
he Inanumited his slaves, numbering
some forty, a large number of whom at.
tended his funeral on Saturday last
During the march, an old slave who
had been greatly attached TO his master,
came up quietly 10 the hcarse, the fringe
of which he respectfully kissed, and he.
hind which he walked the whole dis.
tance to the cemetery. After the
prayers at the grave were ended, and
all had gone save the blacks, the old
man signitied TO them 10 kreel, and
throwing himself upon the ground
prayed most vehemently and tearfuIly
for his master and those he had left be.
hind, which so affected the listening
mourners that the place was filled with
clies and groans.

3 SwELLs.-A rough common sense
per,ades the following, in which there
is certainly more truth than poetry:
Great men never SWELL II is only

salatied at the rate of two hundred dol.
lars a year, and dine on potatoes and
dried herring, who put on airs and
fiashy wais,coats, swell, puff, blow, and
endeavor to make others believe that
there are none so great as they. There
is nothing more contemplate in the eye
of sensible people than these self con-
ceited, puffed up creatures in human
shape. Nevertheless, the country is full
of them. Every neighborhood has
more or less of the apish puppets
They may he easily known, for they
generally dress finer than others, and
take greater pains to show il in pea.
cockish struts and actions; they have
more to say when they are in company
than any one else, chew more tobacco,
spit farther and oftener, always smoke ci
gars, talk out in church, carry pistols
and bowie,knivcs, talk more of fighting
and of their great feats of bravery than
anything else wear their hat on one
side of the head, and will associate
with none others than those of their

them and sensible men il as great as

PRAYER.-Prayer is the application
of want 20 Him who only can relieve it :;
the voice of sin 10 Him who alone can
pardon it. II is the urgency Of poverty,
the prostration of humility, the frrvency
of penitence, the confidence of trust.
1t is not eloquence, but earnestness not
the definition Of helplessness, but the
feeling Of it; not figures of speech. but
compunction of soul. 1t is the Lord,
save us. we PERISH" Of drowning Peter,
the cry Of faith to the ear Of mercy.

THE SECRET OF ELoquENcE.--I owe
my success in life TO one single fact,
namely: At the age Of twenty. .seve n,
commenced, and continued for years,
the process of daily reading and speak
ing upon the contents Of some l,istori
cal or scientific book. These off.hand
efforts were mide sometimes in corn
field, at others in the forest, and not
unfrequenily in some distant barn, with
the horse and OK for auditors. 1t is 10
that early practice in the great art of
all arts that ain indebted for the pri.
mary and leading impulses that siimu-
lated mo forward, and shaped and
moulded my entire subsequent destiny
Improve, then, young gentlemen, the
superior advantages you here enjoy
Let not day pass without exercising
your powers Of speech. There is nc
power like that Of oratory. Cesar con
trolled men by exciting Their fears Cic
ero, by captivating their affections, and
swaying their passions. The influence

What will he do !

1t is generally conceded that Mr.. Lincoln
IS elected President of the United States
Now, the question arises, will he attempt to
carry out the principles of his party? Or
rather we should say, viii he attempt to
carry out the spirit which actuates his party?
II he does. he will at once make war upon
the institutions of the South, for he has al
ready said that a house divided against itself
cannot stand, and that the States of the
Union must be all slave or all free. Will
this antagonism of idea in Lincoln resolve
itselfinto antagonism of action? We believe
not We believe he will not stand up to the
programme which his party has prescribed
for him, even when he shall have the ability
to do it, and he will have that ability to a
very limited extent He will Tylerize the
Republican party. They will not find in
him the man they expect. We think so, be-
cause we believe that the inevitable effect of
electing man to the Presidency of the Uni
ted States is to make him to some extent con-
servative. 1t is one thing to make election.

sentiment Of a particular section, and quite

act of hostility to the South, even if he could,

WHAT SHALL WE DO FOR CoFFEE?-lt APP
pears from statistics recently published that
the consumption Of coffee is increasing much
more rapidly than the production. Last year
the total consumption of Europe and the
United States alone was $50, 900 tons, while
the production of all other countries was but
$4,000 tons. The probable consumption of
the present year is estimated at 1856, 900 tons,
and the probable production at PA, 1000 and
of next year the former at $4,000 tons, and
the latter at $4,000. The New York Post
hopes that it will become SO costly that none
but those who can afford without inconve
nience to pay large doctors bills can afford
to use it.
