THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT
IN SOUTH CAROLINA.

The adoption of the amendment to the
Constitution of the United States abolishing
slavery by the Legislature of South Carolina
has already been announced by telegraph
The subject was brought up in the House Of
Representatives, on the 18th inst, by the
following message from Gov, Perry, inclos-
ing certified copy of the amendment from
Secretary Seward:
Erecutipe Department-SoAth0 Carolina, No

LITTLE THINGS.
Often little things we hear,
nftan l;ttla tb;nos MO nm

Often little things we hear,
Often little things we see,
Waken thoughts that long have sler
Deep down in our memory.
Strangely slight the circumstance
That has force to turn the mind
Backward on the path of years,
To the loved scenes far behind?
IT'S the perfume of flower,
Or quaint old fashioned tune;
Or song-bird mid the leaves
Singing in the sunny June.
'Tis the evening star, mayhap,
In the cleaning silver bright,
Or gold and purple cloud
Waning in the western light.
'Tis the rustling of a dress,
Or a certain tone of voice,
That can make the pulses throb,
That can bid the heart rejoice.
All, my heartl But not of joy
Must alone thy history tell,
Sorrow, shame, and bitter tears
Little things recall as well.
