ATTACHMENTS IND COURTING.

The following excellent little story was cx- tcnsively printed in newspapers about siNtceh years ago. It is good enough to be 5rou2h. forward again. We do not know who wrote it, nor what country furnished the face de- scribed:
 We have heard a good story of which an Alabama sheriff was the hero. Court was in session, and amid the multiplicity of business which crowded upon him at the term time, he stopped at the door of beautiful widow. cn the sunny side of thirty, who by the way had often bestowed melting side gIances upon the aforesaid sheriff He was admitted and the widow appeared; tho confusion and fright which the arrival Of the visitor occasioned set off to greater advantage than usual the capti- vating charms of the widow II. Her checks bore tie beautiful tmts of Inc apple blossom; her lips resembled the rosebuds with which they were filled, rcscmbIed arrows that only invited Jcou Cpardon the pun) to do tull ex- ecution. After few commonplace remarks
 "Madame," said the matter-ol-tact sheriff II have an attachment for you"
 A deeper blush than usual mantlcd the cheeks of the fair widow; the downcast eyes whose glances were ccntercd upon her beauti- ful foot, which, half concealed by her flowing drapery, partly pattcd the floor. She with al equal candor replied:
 Sir the attachment is reciprocal"
 For some time the sheriff maintained an as tonished silence, at length he said:
 "NIadam will you proceed to court?"
 ''Procccd to court" replied the ladywith ; merry laugh; then shaking her head, sh( said:
 "No, Sir; though this is leap year, I vii not take advantage of the license therein granted for my sex; and, therefore, greatly prefer that you should proceed to court"
 "But, madam, the justice is waiting"
 "Let him wait; 1 do not wish to hurry mat ters in so unbecomnga manner; and, besides sir, when the ceremony is performed, wisl you to understand that l greatly prefer minister to justice of the peace"
 A light dawned upon the sheriff's brain.
 Madam" said he, rising from his chai with solemn dignity, there is a great mistak here my language has been misunderstood The attachment of which speak was issue from the office of Squire C., and command me to bring you instantly before him, to an swer a contempt of court, in disobeying subpoena in the case of Smith vs. Jones. --------zs-O Q --sr-------

 YE MOBILE BAYBE.-Some crusty old bachelor thus describes a well-known house hold institution:' It has q strange hostility for its nurses cap and nose, which it will clutch and hold with savage tenacity, if in the least offended It is never happy but in its mothers arms, especially if it is being nursed by gentleman, It prefers the floor to the cradle, which 1t never stops in longer than 1t can help. It is very playful, delightng in pulling the table cloth off, or knocking the China ornaments off the mantle-piece, or up- setting its food on somebody's lap. It invents a new language of its own, almost before it can speak, which is perfectly intelligble to parents, though Greek to every one else. It dislikes treachery in any shape and repels the spoonful of sugar if it fancies there is a powder at the bottom of it. It is not fond of public entertainments, invariably crying before it has been at one five minutes"

i P5ALU OF LIFE

BY LNGFELLOW. Tell me not, in mornful numbers, life is but an empty dream!" For the soul is dead that slumbers, And things are not what they seem, Life is real! Life is earnest!
 And the grave is not its goal; "Dust thou art, to dust returnest,7 Was not spoken of he soul. Not enjoyment and not sorrow, Is our destined endor way; But to act, that each o-morrow Find us further than to-day. Art is long, and Timeis feeting And our hearts, th0gh stout and brave, Still, like mulfed drums, are beating Funeral marches tcthe grave. In the worlds broad field of battle, In the biyouac of life, Be not like dumb, dlJycn cattle! Be a hero ill the strife. Trust no future, howe CT pleasant! Let the dead Past bury its dead. Act-act in the living Present.
 Heart within, and God CT head Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime, And, departing, lelve behind us Footsteps on the sands of time; Footprint, that perhaps another, Sallmgo CT lfes solemn main, A forlorr and shipwrecked brother, Seeing shall take heart again. Let Us, hen, be up and doing,
 Witha heart for any fate; Still ac}ieying, still pursuing,
 Lear to labor and to wait.

"REMINISCENCES OF POLITICAL CAREER. We see it noticed in the Massachusetts pa pers that Josiah Quincy, the venerable Ex- President of the Harvard University, is nine ty years of age. This veteran politician may possibly have to record of himself what no other man has ever had to Say-that he has witnessed the rise and fall of m empire. Born before the Revolution, he was an eye witness of the struggles which ended in the foundation of the Republic; he entered the National Legislature in lS04 rendered him. self conspicuous while there by moving the Impeachment of Jefferson, then President of the United States; lived through the second war with England, and through the various political contests which have since threatened the integrity of the Union, and now, towards the close a career pronacted beyond the usual period allotted to man, he is likely to be 8 spectator of the dissolution and ruin of the powerful confederation built up by the labor. and wisdom of our foretathcrs And it Is g melancholy fuct that few men have conuibut ed more to bring about this result by thoil fierce and yindictiye abolitionism than this nonogenarian politician and one of his sons It is, perhaps, just, though rare, historica retribution, that the former should live tC assist in roaping the dragons teeth that hC has sown.

upon an imperishable foundation. In destroying

Burn, .4ciday, Costiveness, Loss OF appetite,
Headache, and General Dt5ziy.
In many sections Of our country this prepare.

CHARLESTON, Sept. 81, 1850.
I am about to give you a short letter on lite
rary matters.
An impetus has been given to the work of in.
tellectual improvement among our young men,
by the recent organization of ''THE PALMETTO
LYcEUM." This new enterprise aRAsars to be in
high favor, and is daily addinggey to its
roll of membership. 1t proposes to carry out
its good objects by means of Public Lectures,
Essays, and Social Debates. The first course of
Lectures will open early in November, with a
Lecture by B. R. CARROLL, Esq, on "Csroliua
in the olden time" to be followed by Professors
FREDERICK A.. PoRcHER and JNo. McCRADY, of
the Charleston College Rev. J. BARNwELL
CAMPBELL, RoBr. C. G%ILcHRIsr and j. FORREST
GowAN, on topics to be hereafter announced. A
series of Essays by younger members, will be
read before the Lyceum during the winter.
The first debate took place on the evening of
the 18th August. The question was: "Does the
practice of sending young men and wome: a.
broad to be educated, contribute to the welfare
of the rising generation" 1t was decided, after
a spirited debate, in the negative. On Wednes-
day evening last, the second debate took place
before an intelligent audience of ladies and gen.
and the question was: "Would the Alb

Such violent men are to be found in every free
country, and they are probably useful in some
respects. But when the conservative element
becomes so weak that they are made the leaders:
of parties, the country is in great danger. We
should be careful Of how we trust such men at
the present time. They might do something
which the entire nation might have to regret,
without being able to remedy for ages to come.
The great conservative men Of the country are
those to whom We should trust our affairs at
present, and not to those who can make the
greatest noise in abusing the opposite party.
Great political parties are indispensibly neces
sary to the preservation Of liberty in any free
country but it is q great misfortune when these
parties become so hostilely arrayed against each
other, as for one to threaten disuuion because
the other triumphs. The only way to prevent
this in our case is for the parties to have a thor.
ough understanding of each other. This can only
be had by open and free intercourse, and perfect
'libertyio of discussion in every corner of our wide
spread country. Men Of all phases Of opinion
at the South should be perfectly free to go North
and discuss those opinions, and then we in
turn should allow the sam privilege to men Of
the North. When that is the case the people
will understand each other and again begin to
live like brothers as in the time Of our fathers.
Extreme men will loose their influence; the con
sentative elements of the country will govern +;
and we will no more hear the voice of disunion.
Then we will have nothing to fear for the future
of, our country, and We may begin again to be
the guiding star to those striving after liberty in
other portions of the globe.
You are no doubt rather surprised at having
received such a political letter from me. 1t
will serve to show you, that, though have been
so long absent, I do not cease to take interest in
my country. -
