BUSINESS MEN PAUSE AND THINK.
Your ALL IS AT STAKE The election
of Lincoln is honestly dreaded by the
South as an evil so insufferable as to cause
| it to look at the dark portals of secession as
a refuge, just as man oppressed by grief
and despair contemplates the grave-while
no man at the North has any fears in re-
gard to any interest or any right, should
Lincoln be defeated.
But if Black Republicanism, by its az.
gressions, forces secession on the South, ii
is all mistake to suppose that the South
will be the only sufferer. Indeed, the
North will be the great sufferer. How,
we will now proceed briefly to show.
The North can furnish the South moth.
ing which she cannot get elsewhere on bet.
ter terms. A separation will cut off the
entire Southern demand for all Northern
articles, aud the North can nowhere else
find customers to be substituted for the
South. The South will still have custo'
mers for all that it has to sell, and the
North, which cannot possibly do without
Southern cotton, rice, tobacco, tar, turpen
tine, lumber, &c., would have to purchase
them at advanced rates.
Now the North pays its European debts
with Southern produce sent to Europe
with the proceeds of which the South pur
chases from the North and gives he4 Dill
on Europe. In case of secession, and o
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1860-11-01

the South being supplied from Europe,
where will the North get funds to pay her
European debts? She will have to send
her specie, and then what will be her con-
dition? The immense freights now given
by the North to Northern ships would be
lost by secession.
Why will the North, by its cruel and
unwarrantable aggressious on the South,
render that dreadful alternative-secession
an only mode of safety?
Would you seek to retain the South by
violence? Read the words of Edward Ev-
erett:
"The suggestion that the Union can be
maintained by the numerical predominance
and military prowess of one section, exer-
ted to coerce the other into submission, is,
in my judgment, as self.contradictory as it
is dangerous. 1t comes loaded with the
death.smell from fields wet with brothers
blood Ifthe vital principle Of all repub-
lican government is 'the consent of the
governed much more does union Of co.
equal sovereign States require, as its basis,
the harmony of its members and their VOL
untary cooperation in its organic func-
tions."
But suppose the North, willing thus to
make the earth smoke with brothers blood,
do you not know that cotton and tobacco
are too important to England and France
for them to allow their production to be
curtailed? Your cities would fall beneath
their bombardments, mere masses of ruin.
England having accomplished the long
cherished aim of her hate and rivalry, our
separation and our weakness, would be sat-
is6ed by having us standing beacon to
her own people against Representative
Government; and European monarchs, no
longer fearing our example and influence,
would wish US to remain unharmed further,
that we might be their dependant custo-
mers. The very men of the North who
scout the idea of secession by the South,
under trials far more aggravating than all
that the colonies ever endured from Eng
land, and ten.fold more than any people in
Europe would endure from equals, would
themselves resist tithe of such offences.
When the North, by its exactious, its
aggressions, aud its violation of Coustitu-
tional rights, drives the South to secession,
it will, by its own needless act, cut itself
off from the great source of its wealth,
power and prosperity. 1t will be the gull.

A GOOD REASON FOR LAUGHTER-A
spendthrift was once laying awake in bed,
when he saw man enter his room eau.
tiously, and attempt to pick the lock of his
writing-desk. The rogue was not . little
disconnected at hearing a loud laugh from
the occupant Of the apartment, whom he
supposed asleep. why do you laugh p
asked the theft. 4 am laughing, my good
fellow, said the spendthrift, to think what
pains you are taking, and what risk you run,

desk where the lawful owner can never
find any by day?' The thief vanished at
once. .---

GOOD ADvIoE.-Those who wish. to do
good, but hesitate to do it, would do well to
read the following. The reason may be
suggested to them by the perusal:
Do not delude yourself with the idea that
you can please everybody. Who ever knew
anybody that was worth anything that had
nobody to find fault with him You would'
have to do evil in many cases to please the
evil fatter some to crafty their pride; in
dulge the selfish, submit to the tyrannical,
be tool for the ambitious, and be careful
not to have anything as good as those who
desire to have everything superior to their
neighbors. Ifyou are public man, should
you be diligent, you must expect to have
many secretly dislike you and talk against
you, for your success; and if you accomp-
lish little, though many show themselves
friendly, it often leaks out that some who
appear pleasant to you, can do thus because
they do not fear your rivalry-they may
smile upon you outwardly, and yet enter
tain contempt for your ineficiency. Az
ways do that which is right, be diligeut, do
the most you can, pay no regard tofsqlt;s
finders, and you will find as many friends as
any sensible man may need desire.

Oh why do We meet if early to partf
Oh! where is the bliss untinged with alloy!
How cruel is fate, to tear from the heart
The presence beloved, that thrilled it with JOY
Oh why do we love, if only to lose
The idol the soul 80 fondy enshrines,
While, day after day, each moment reneWs
The links of the chain affection entWines!
Oh why do we smile, if so soon to sigh
For pleasures once gone we no more can know
Oh why should we live far better to die, g.,
When thoughts of the past o'erwhelm US WIN
woe.
Oh why do we linger 80 long on the way
That leads to rest, but found in the grave
While friend after friend is passing away
Each moment of time, like wave after wave
Ave, thus is the world yet why should we care
At grief let US smile-'t is folly to sigh.
Why pine for the past for the future why ieaf
To- day let us laugh-to' morrow we Ole.
Tho such be life's joys-all feeting and vain,
Tho baneful the flowers that bloom on the
way,
Let's gather, and wear them, in spite OF the pail
They leave in the breast when faded away.

SLIPPERY PEopLE.-There is class Of
people who resemble eels in their manner Of:
going through life. They are your smooth
people who slip through the hand,whenF
you attempt to catch them, and; leave you
wondering how they could have escaped.
The hand of morals, law, or right failsstoa
hold them, aud yet they seem to recognize
them all. A bargain with such men al
ways results in their gain; there is some
loop left for them to hang an advantage on;
something that will rebound to their partic.
ular glori6cation and profit. They are
splendid managers of benevolent institu-
tions, occupy nigh places in the moral
world-for such are not those men who
get caught; and if they get caught, they
manage to slip through; are great on mort.
cages, lend money on the right sort Of Sc
curity, and never lose, and whichever way
they fall they alight all right. They are
politicians, and always manage to be on the
winning side. In life they are unexception-
able, with characters excellent. But they
are slippery, nevertheless, and even while
praising them, as men may, in their short.
sightedness, and they wriggle through to
the end, the veil will be lifted, and the
time that tries all do justice to them.

SONNET TO MISS 49,
All all that's beautiful e'er speaks of Love,
And love eer melts and moves in beauty hence
This yearuiug deep within-this burning sense
OF some soft signing in the breast that moves
When gazing on the tinted evening sky,
And on fair fields and flowers, green wales and
hills,
And rock, and rivers running-aud which thrills
The heart, till tea: drops gather to the eve.
Oh, Love- While thus sit and gaze, "Rejoice
In quiet peace of soul - seems from all things
To blend and breathe; and the weird whisper
ings
Of Memory-it's still small, witching, voice
Are moving warm and moving deepin me;
And loudly speaks all loveliness of Thee!

paT Among the Acul mountains there has
been found, ina old house, a bust of Lord
Nelson. 1t is of white marble, somewhat
stained by time and neglect. Nelson is.
represented in his costume Of Admiral, and
bears on his breast five decorations. One
in commemoration of the battle Of Abourir,
has the inscription 'Rear Admirable Lord
Nelson of the Nile Another medal bears
the words: Almighty God has blessed his
Majesty's glory This bust, interesting in
its artistic and historical associations, was
found on an altar devoted to the fetish
worship, where for halfa century it has
been reverenced as the Deity Of the Noun
tain Streams. The names of the sculptors
were 'Coale and Lealy, sof Lambeth Thus
for fifty years bust Of an English Admiral
has been worshiped as an heather idol
The finder of the statue has refused an Of

WHAT WE LEARNED BY THE LATE E..
cL1psE.-The solar eclipse of July II,
1860, was more thoroughly observed than
any other that ever occurred. In addition
to the great number of trained observers
who were scattered along the line of its
path, from the State of Oregon to Egypt,
the new art Of astronomical photography
lent its powerful aid towards obtaining
complete history of the phenomena. In
former total eclipses, when the sun was
completely hidden by the moon, while still
brighter objects, appearing like protuber-
ances, were seen extending into the corona,
there had been much discussion among as.
tronomers in regard to these appearances,
some believing that they were produced by
the action of the earth's atmosphere on the
suns light, others attributing them to the
moon, and others still to the sun. Hopes
had been for some time entertained that
the eclipse of this year would afford obSer-
vations which would settle these questions.
These hopes have not been disappointed.
The corona is luminous atmosphere Of the
sun, brighter than the face of the MOON
gradually becoming fainter as the distance
from the sun increases, till it fades away
in the sky without any defined limit, but
visible at least five hundred thousand
leagues from the body of the sun. The red
protuberances are luminous floating clouds,
floating in the shining atmosphere, all of
them pretty near the surface Of the sun
It is curious fact that some of these clouds
impressed their image on the photographs
paper, though they could not be seen
through with powerful telescopes. This
fact is explained on the supposition that
they may have emitted deep violet light,
mostly composed of chemical rays.
