DIRECT TRADE IN CoFFEE.-The wholesale.
grocery dealers in Charleston, says the Courier,
are adopting measures to secure and promote
the direct importation of Coffee for the trade
Of that city.
In Savannah the direct importation of Coffee
has been carried on for years, and of one cargo
which arrived last spring, we believe about 500
bags were purchased by Charleston house to-
supply its trade. In addition to the importa-
ton of Coffee, we are to have direct trade with
India, as MesserS 0. Cohen & Co. will receive
about March next, cargo of gunnv CLOTH Wo,
want our friends to bear these facts in mind
1t is our duty always to give importers the
preference.
We learn that the British barque Greyhound
from Rio Janeiro, with cargo of Coffee, went
ashore on Ossabaw Shoals, at o'clock Satur-
day morning last. The Captain soon after.
went in boat to Ossabaw, thence to Mont
gomcry, from which place he walked up to,
town. We learn, further, that the Captain
engaged the steamer Sampson, and went down
the river in her yesterday morning, to sec if
the vessel can be saved.

Mr.. Editor:-Bcfore I state my last reason
why this Union should be purged of all traitors
to the Constitution, suffer me to say that, my
plan of expulsion would find thousands to de-
fcnd it, who would never be found OH the side
of secession Besides, it would be dignifcd
and just to give the friends of the Constitution
Il chance to define their position, and, should
they be found minority in their States, and
suffer expulsion, it would be their misfortune
and not our fault.
counsel no revolution, nor do wish further
legislation in support of any institution now
cxistingin any OF the States. All that is needed
to heal al our difficulties, is repeal of all laws
in every State and Territory in the Union that
conflicts with the interest or rights OF any OF
their co-States and, this would only be carrying
out the letter and spirit of tic Constitution,
which was adopted for the purpose Of insuring
domestic tranquility"
But the last reason that l will give, why a
change in OFT national character must be ef-
fccted, is that, as q nation protesting belief i'll

duty to guard the sacred depositc committed
to our charge, and while would be far from
encouraging persecution for religious opinions

From Me Wemptis lualanc1e
The Little Bcggar.
BY StLLIE ADA REEDY.

Standing alone with your hair uncurled,
And hands to your forehead pressed,
Thinking if strife in this weary world,
Or peace in the grave were best
Wondering, too. if the samc,good God,
Who fashioned the bright and the gay,
Has set in motion the weary blood
That morrns in your heart to-day!
Poor doubling one pcrchancc my hand
Feels cool to your heated brow
You may lay your weary head on my heart,
1t is Drawer than yours just now
And may my own dead mother send
Reproof from her soul 10 mine,
Whenever my lips refuse TO lend
Kind words to q grief ike thine.
The lady that's coming down the street
Will frown as she passes you
And yet that thing, so dainty and sweet
Is going a-bcgging. too;
Begging for praise Of her qucenly tread,
And praise of her beauty r,re-
Oh child! had rather beg for bread
Than the cold worlds cruel stare.
That man you see was Gair-llared YOUTH
And years have not made him old,
But proud ambition murdered his truth,
And left him gold-bright gold
You have sweet dreams, but all night long
He talks to his soul in woe,
And begs it to forgive the wrong
He did to it years ago.
And there is another who begs for fame
With the air Of prince on his throne.
That strangers may start when they read his nam
Carved out on smooth white stouc;
He bcgs, and the poisoned draugl.t he receives
Cools never the thirsty mind,
But the morscl you get is enough, and it leaves
No bitterness lurking behind.
Your hair is soft. though it is .ncurled,
And your eyes arc wonderous blue,
And you've brothers and sisters all over the worlt
And 1 am your sister too;
Kneel down, little girl, when the moonbeams lal
Angels arc around thy bed,
And think that the happest bcggar of all
Is the beggar that bcgs for bread.

The following beautiful and touching prose

daughter, aged five years and seventeen days
kitte is gone. Where? TO heaven. An an
gel came, and took her away. She was love.
" chiId-gcntle as a lamb; the pet of the
whole family; tue youngest of them all. But
she could not stay with us any longer. She
had an angcl-sister in heaven, who Was waiting
for her. The angel-sister was with us only a
few months, but she has been in heaven many
years. and she must have loved Kittie, for
everybody loved her. The lovelest flowers
arc often plucked. If little voice sweetcr
than others was heard, knew .kittic was
near. Ifmy study-door opened so gently and
slyly that no sound could be heard, l knew
kittic was coming If after an hours quiet
play, a little shadow passed me, and the door
opened and shut as no one else could open and
shut it, $50 as not to disturb papa," 1 knew
kittie was going. When, in the midst of my
composing, | heard gentle voice saying,
"Papa may I stay with youa little while? will be
very still" | did not need to look off my work,
to assufe me that it was my little lamb. You
staid 'sith me too long, Kittie dear, to leave
me so suddenly, and YOU are too still now.
You became my little assistant-my home
angcl-my Youngest and sweetest singing
bird, and l miss the little voice that I have
heard in an adjoining room catching up and
cclloing little snatches Of melody as they were
being composed. miss those soft and sweet
kisses. | miss the little hand that was always
first to be placed upon my forehead, to 'drivc
away the pain" l miss the sound of those
little feet upon the stairs. miss the little
knock at my bedroom door in the morning,
and the triple goodnight kiss in the evening.
!. miss the sweet smiles from the sunniest of
faces. | miss-oh how miss the foremost
in tile little group who came out to meet me
at the gate for the first kiss. do not stoop
so low now, Kittic, to give that first kiss. l
miss you at the table, and at family worship.
| miss your voice in "[ aCant to be an angel"
for nobody could sing it like You. miss you
in my garden. l miss you everywhere; but l
will try not to miss youin heaven. "Papa, if
we are good, will an angel truly come and take
us to heaven when VIC dic?" When the ques-
ton was asked, how little did I think the an
gel was so near But he did "truy" come, and
the sweet flower is translated to more genial
cline. II do wish papa would come" Wait
a little while, Kittie, and papa will come The
journey is notlong. Hewill soon be "home."
