A South Carolina Hero.

eight months a-a, leaving, / believe, a
Wife and two children poor and uns

openly about the rebellion. Twice he

Monongalia county lies upon the PENN
sylvania line. Laurel ridge rises on its
eastern border, and the Monongahela
and Cheat rivers intersect it. The coun-
ty-seat is MorgantoWn Among its eX-
ports are cattle, lumber, flour and iron,
which are transported both by railroad
and steamboat. 1t is an enterprising,
productive, and improving section ofthe
State.
Marion, the next county south, is also
drained by the Monongahela, formed here
by the confluence ofTygart's Valley and
West Fork rivers. 1t is a small county,
rich in coal and iron, with abundant wa
ter-power, magnificent forests, and fine
pasturage. Fairmont, a pleasant village
on both railroad and river, is its capital.
Taylor is a small county, embracing
:ln area less than that of four townships
of government surveys, and formed from
Harrison, Barbour and Marion. 1t is
prominent as the point at which the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad bifurcates
to Wheeling and Parkersburg. 10 the
traveller its surroundings are picturesque
but very forbidding in the eye of the
has population Of only 7,463, yet its
railway facilities have given to land val
uation something like its intrinsic worth,
the average of SIC Oh per acre. Among
these mountains grow yearly 7S,0Ol
bushels of corn, s0,357 pounds OF butter
are produced, and 3,160 tons of hay are
made, and animals are slaughtered to
the value of 81, 3S3.
Barbour county lies further up Tygart's
Valley river, and is also drained by Blu
chanan river and Elk creek. Philippa,
famed as the opening scene of the war of
the rebellion in the State of Virginia, is
the county seat. Its assessed valuation
averages scarcely half as much as that OF
Taylor, simply because it is less favored
in facilities for transportation. The fer
tility of its soil is we'll attested by 1877 $50
bushels of corn, and 1877 ,693 value of
live stock, s53, 452 value OF slaughtered
animals, and large figures generally for
farm products, considered with reference
to its population of only S,95S.
Taking the west fork of the Mononea-
hela, the reader will come to Harrison
county, of which Clarksburg is the prin-
cipal town, situated upon the northwes-
tern Virginia railroad, a branch of the
Baltimore and Ohio. 1t possesses a lime
stone soil, fertile and durable. 1t lsper-
haps the most improved of the inland
counties, and has a farm valuation OF
S4,642, 794, exceeded only by that OF Je1-
ferson and Greenbrier. The value OF its
live stock Is S044 80, eAceeueN oiily ny
Hampshire and Greenbrier. With such
figures, the value of slaughtered animals
s75,SS3, will not be deemed extraordina-
ry. In corn, of which the product is
800, 946 bushels, it is exceeded only by
Hampshire and jackson. Clarksburg is
the seat of a fine trade in coal.
Lewis is Immediately south of Harri-
son, higher up on the same stream pro-
duces 4,4l6 tons of hay, considerable
quantities of grain, possesses excellent
pasturage, and many good and produc-
tive farms.

tous ravines, through which its drain
age is secured, lays bare the several
strata of rocks and minerals, brings to
view the hidden treasures OF the earth,
and renders mining easy and facilitates
the removal and distant transportation
of the precious depositcs sought.
\ word or two at the outset, should
be bestowed on the great variety and re-
markable character of
MINERAL SPRINGS.
Mineral waters in remarkable variety,
exist in all portions of the valley, and
others, still more noted and valuable,
are scattered among the mountain gladeS
of Greenbrier county. These, with those
in Berkeley, are in West Virginia.
There are thermal, saline, carbonated,
and sulphuretted waters, acidulous wa
tiers, impregnated with carbonic acid,
in some instances &C mbining gas equal
to one-half of the water itself. Sulphur,
iron, lime, magnesia and other clements,
variously mingled, give these waters
their peculiar characteristics OF color,
taste and medicinal effect.
Prof. Nm. b. Rogers, former State
| Geologist, thus refers to them: "Niew-
ed singly, in relation to the number, va
riety, and high reputation of its mineral
waters, this region is well entitled to be
proud o. the vast resources of which it
is possessed. Grouped, as these springs
are, at moderate distances apart, pre-
senting within the same district a va
| riety of medicinal chasaeter, for which,
in other Countries, regions remote from
each other require to be visited in sue
cession, placed at a point equally access
ible to the inhabitants of the seaboard
and the great valley of the west, and
situated in region Of grateful summer
temperature, of salubrious climate, and
beauties, they are now rapidly attaining
a celebrity for powerful and varied re-
medal qualities, as well as for the REIN
ed social enjoyments which are annually
gathered around them, destined ere long
to eclipse the older reputation of the
famed fountains of the northern States,,
and to vic even with the long establish
ed character of the most noted of the
watering places of the Old World"
TRAVERTINE.
In Jefferson county, and in all portions
of the valley to a greater or less extent,
exists deposit of mari, in beds of CON-
siderable thickness. 1t is found in the
beds of nearly all the streams, being
formed by precipitation of calcareous
matter from the limestone waters. 1t is
known to geologistsa as travertine. From
It very pure lime is obtained, command
ing a high price in the market, and its
value to agriculture, from its general
diffusion and attainment without the
labor 9uarrying, is not liable to undue
appreciation. Much of it is obtained in
a state so friable that it may be applied
as it is in Europe, directly to the soil,
like mari, obViating the expense of burn
ing. Calcareous manures have proved
of incalculable benefit to eastern Virgin
ia, and have been applied with benefit
to the calcareOus soils of the valley

The melancholy days have come,
The saddest ofthe Year.
OF walling winds, and naked woods.
And meadows brown and scar,
Heaped in the hollows of the grove,
The withered leaves lie dead,
They rustic to the eddying gust,
And to the rabbits tread.
The robin and the wrens are flown.
And from the shrubs the jay,
And from the wood-top calls the crow.
Through all the gloomy day.
Where arc the flowers, the fair young flower.
That lately sprang and stood,
In brighter light and softer air,
A beauteous sisterhood?
Alas they are all in their graves;
The gentle race Of flowers
Are lying in their lowly beds,
With the fair and good of ours
The rain is falling where they lie.
But the cold November rain
Calls not from out the gloomy earth
The lovely ones again.
The Whatsoever and the violet,
They persisted long ago,
And the briar-rose and the orchis died
Amid the summer glow.
But on the hill the golden rod
And the aster i'll the wood,
And the yellow sun-hower by the brook
In autumn beauty stood,
Till fell the frost from the clear, cold heaven,
As falls the plague on men,
And the brightness of their smile was gone
From upland, glade and glen.
And now, when comes the calm mild day
As still such days will come,
To call the squirrel and the bee
From out their winter home;
When the sound of dropping nuts is heard,
Though all the trees are still;
And twinkle in the smoky light
The waters of the rill
The south wind searches for the flowers
Whose fragrance late he BORE
And signs to find them in the wood
And by the stream no more.
And then | think of one who in
Her youthful beauty died,
The fair meek blossom that grew up.
And faded by our side;
In the cool, moist earth we laid her
When the forest cast the leaf,
And we wept that one so lovely,
Should have Il life SO brief;
Yet not unmeet it was that one,
Like that young friend of ours.
So gentle and so beautiful,
Should perish with the flowers.

Somebody who has s'traveled" and
taken sober view Of things generally,
and woman in particular, gives the fol-
lowing advice to young men, and we
know of no better way of setting it be-
fore them than by inserting it here, lie
1yci:
Young man, keepyour eyes open when
you are after a woman. you bite at
the naked hook YOU are green. Is u
pretty dress or form so attractive; or a
pretty face, even? Flounces, boy, are
no sort OF consequence. A pretty face
will grow old. Paint will wash off. The
sweet smile of the tlirt will give way to
the scowl of the termagant. Another
and a far different being will take the
place of the goddess who smiles and eats
your sugar candy. The coquette will
shine in the kitchen corner and with the
one sparkling eye and beaming counte-
nance will look daggers at you. Be-
ware! Keep your eye open, boy, when
you are after the woman. If the dear is
cross, and seolds at her mother in the
room, you may be sure you will get
particular tubs all over the house. If
She bushes when found at domestic du-
ties, be sure she is of the dishrag aris-
tocracy-little breeding and a great deal
less sense. If you marry a girl who
does nothing but to commit woman

walk up like a chicken toa dough pile,
and ask for the article like a man."
