Good Time Ahead.

The following we copy from The Sumter
Watchman, of Friday last
Our readers, perhaps were not aware of Mr.
Memmingers presence in Sumter, but we GER
tainly had an interview with him last hight
He seemed to have had no other object in his
visit, but TO talk over old times He looked as
natural, as when, many years ago, we entered
his office as a law student, and when in reply
to our noire query how long it would take us
TO acquire knowledge of the law, he replied :
"more than lifetime; for have been practs-
ing so many years, and only have birds
eye view of the subject" In our interview
last night, however, ace felt not half the awe in
his presence, that we did in our verna Tor YER
dant) DAYS. He too, was more companonablc
in fact quite gentleman, and very sociable
and communicative. He took occasion to say
that he had made more money than any other
man during the war; and expressed his sur
prise that the people did not regard his
money as good as Yankee grccnbacks, the
gstening rorgcmt or the glittering gold. This,
however, he aimed to remedy. He had al
ready instructed the various departments to
audit claims but not to pay them. This, he
said, would reduce the circulation very SEN
sibly.
We told hm we were prepared to believe
this, for we had forwarded numerous claims of
deceased soldiers to the Second Auditor, who
had sent back acknowledgements, that the
claims were all right and the parties notified of
it--but the money was not forthcoming. We
had also forwarded printers accounts to Rich
mond, and they remained unpaid-Wc also
had forwarded and had returned to us about
one hundred claims to Charleston for negro
labor on the coast. And if all others Jared
like us, there must be an immense amount of
money Wihheld by Government from lawtul,
and needy claimants, which if paid to them
would of course, increase the circulation!
We propounded some rather grave questions
to the old gentleman as to the morality and
justice of this course, and whether it was cal
culatcd to increase the confidence of the pco-
pie in Government so Indifferent to the set
tcmcnt ofits bis-whercupon he vanished in
to thin air, and left Sumter without any one
knowing how or when he departed. Ifhe had
remained with us until daylight, we would
have given him roast duck and not biscuit for
breakfast; but as he left us so brusquely, we
turned over, took another nap, and woke mp to
rather Stern conclusion that it was all a
dream, destined, like many Of Mr. Mcnomin-
gers vagaries, to melt array into thin air.

y BEAUYIFUL REFLECTIOX.-Bulwer elo-
quently says: " l cannot believe that earth is
mans abiding place. 1t cannot be that our
life is cast up by the ocean of eternity TO float
moment upon its waves, and then sink into
nothingnessl Else, why is it that the glorious
aspirations which leap like angels from the
temple of our heart, are forever wandering
about unsatisfed Why that the rainbow
and clouds come over US with beauty that is
not of earth, and then pass off and leave US to
muse upon their favored loyelineSs? Why is
it that the stars who hold their festival around
the midnight throne. are set above the grasp
of our limited faculties mocking US with their
unapproachable glory? And finally, why is
it that bright forms of human beauty are pre-
sented to our view, and then taken from Us,
leaving the thousand streams of our affections
to flow in Alpine torrents upon our hearts p
We are born for a higher destiny than that Of
earth there is realm where the rainbow
never fades-where the stars will be spread
before US like islands that slumber on the
ocean-anl where The beings that pass before
US like shadows, will stay in our presence for
ever"
Coop MASNERs.-A writeNthus describes
what We are always theorizing about; The
world has always been charmed with fine man
ners; and why should it not? For what are
fine manners but this to carry your soul on
your lip, in your eye, in the palm of your hand
and yet to stand not naked, but clothed upon
by your individual quality-visible, yet inscru
table-given TO the hearts of others, yet con-
tanned in your own bosoms-nobly and human
ly open, yet duly reticent and secured from
Invasion? Polished manners often diSappoint
US A.; good manners never. The former may be
taken on by INDECENT souls the latter imply a
noble and opuleut nature And wait you not
for death, according to the counsel of Solon,
to be named happy if you are permitted fel-
lowship with man Of rich mind, whose indi
vidaal SAVIOR you always finely perceive, and
never more than fnely-who yields you the
perpetual sense of community, and never OF
confusion with your own spirit. The happi-
ness is all the greater. if the fellowship be ac-
corded by a mind emineutly superior to ones
own; for be, while yet more removed, comes
yet nearer, seeming to be that which our own
soul may become in some future life; and SO
yielding rs the sense Of our own being more
deeply and powerfully than it is given BY the
consciousness in our own bosom

are: Take piece Of sponge three-quarters Of

hole through the centre then steep it in water
till it becomes disteuded. Squeeze the water
out, ard put the stem of the pipe through the
hole until the bowl comes in contact with the
centre of the sponge. Charge the pipe and fll
the sponge with cold water; then commence
smoking. and it will be found that saving of
twenty-five per cent in tobacco is effected, with
an improvement in its favor

SMOKING OF ARsENIC.-M. MontigDy, French
Consul in China, in reference TO the use of ar
senic by the Northern Chinese, says they min
gle it with their smoking tobacco. According
to missionaries who had lived long time there,
tobacco free from arsenic is not sold. The same
witnesses assured the Consul that the arsenic
smokers were stout fellows, with " lungs like
blacksmth's bellows and as rosy as cherubs."
The publication of Montignys statement has
called out letter from DR.. Londe, who an
nounces that some years ago, in the course of
discussion at the Academy of Medicine, on
the agents to be employed to cure tubercular
consumption, he told the assembled doctors
that he had found but one successful means of
combating this dreadful disease; that means
was the smoking of arsenic. The doctor reaf
firms his commendation of this remedy.

The " boys :" at Port Royal have some fun

is supposed to have been addressed to General
Hunter by strong minded lady teacher there,
who went out from New England as philan-
thropist upon a salary of $1,000 year. 1t ap-
pears some straggling soldiers upon Paris Is
land, shot bull this disturbed the equanimity
of the lady in question very much, and she
complained in strong terms to the authorities
of the outrage. The memorial is thus rendered
in verse;
Dear General H, my heart is full,
Lamelting for ny butehered ball;
The oaly bull oar islands had,
And all my widowed cows are sad.
With briny tears, and dropping tails.
And loud boo-hoos and bovine walls,
Ny cows lament with wifely zeal
Their perished hopes of fntare veal.
Sad is the wall Of human wife
To see her partner snatched from life;
But he,-the husband Of a score
For him the grief is more and more!
No future hope of golden cream;
Even milk in tea becomes a dream
Whey, bonnyclabber. cheese and curds,
Are now, ah me mere idle words
The cruel soldiers, fierce and full
OF freckless wrath, have shot my bull!
The stateliest bullet scotfers laugh
That e'er was Father" called by calf
bull as noble, firm and fair
As that which aided Joye to bear
Europa from the fiowery glade
Where she, amidst her maidens, played
Dear General H., accept my vows,
And oh take pity on my cows
With whom, bereft of wifely ties,
All tender hearts must sympathize.
Quick to Van Ylet your order send
(By Smiths congenial spirit penned)
And order him, in language fall,
At once 10 send me down bull
Ifpossible, youthful beast,
With warm affections yet unplaced,
Who to my widowed cows may prove
husband of enduring love.
