Be done if energy is used in the procuring OF
immigrants from Europe. The occasion Of
this correspondence is this. On my way to

turning upon the condition of the country

the letter he had received from. the Rev. Mr..

heard any thiIg.of Mr.. Whites letter to Mr..
Merriman, and wrote to him in relation to it,

Rev Mr.. White to Mr.. Merrimau, giving in
formation upon what terms laborers can be
procured, of what character the persons will

As so much labor is removing from this part
of the country; ard as it is important that
the lands should not be left to- grow mp in
weeds, aud thus be converted into wilder.
ness, and be deserted. it is important that our
people should make all necessary efforts to re-
store the country to its former, and even gIea'.
er, prosperity. People must begin to work
to accomplish something. Plans to secure
Immigrants must be matured, and the people
must see to it that their lands shall be cu!:
tivated, and improved The country.ean be
improved, but energy is required to effect it.
The attention of the people will be direct.

Things That Never Die.

The pure, tho bright. the beautiful,
That stirred opr hearts in youth,
The impulse of wordleSs prayer,
The dream OF love and truth,
Tho longings after something lost,
The spirits ycarning cy;
The strivipgs after better bopes,-
(. These things con never. die.
The tinid hand stretched forth to aid
A brother in his need;
That kindly word in grie's dark hour
That proves the friend indeed;
The plea of mercy softly brcathed
When Justice threatens nigh;
= The sorrow Of contritc heart-
These things shall never die.
The memory of clasping hand,
The pressure of kiss,
And all the triacs, sweet and trail,
That mako up loves first bliss,
If with firm, uEchanglng ialtn,
And holy trust and high, x
Those hands have clasp'd, those lips have me
These things shall never die.
The cruel and tho bitter word
That wounded rs it fell,
The chilling want of sympathy,
We feel but never tell.
Tho hard repulse that chills the heart,
Whose hopes were bounding high,
In an unfading record kept,
These things shall never die.
Let nothing pass, for every hand
Must find some work to do;
Lose not Il chance to wolken love,
Be firm and just and true,
So shall light that cam OF fade
Beam on thce from on high,
And angels voices say to thee,
Theso things shall never die.

TO Walters face. "Do you mean that you
will give re a home tto that you will pro

"Yes,' returned tue youth hopefully,

no home. Come, VIC will live together, aud

When the old man saw the joyous tears
leap from his child's eyes, he turned away
and walked quickly from tho house but he
was not so quick but he heard the blessings
that followed him.
And when he walked alone beneath the
starry heavens he wiped his own eyes as
though something troubled him.
Gay as a lark was til. gentle, beautiful
Agnes, when she became the wife Of Walter
Adams. The rose bloomed again upon her
happy face like sunshine all the GGy long
"Do you pray to God to help You to love
me now 2" the old man asked after he had
lived with Walter some months.
"Why. what do ycu mean p Agnes asked
in surprise.
"You used TO pray so, for l have heard
you," returned Noah.
A moment the young wife gazed into her
parents face, and she answered, while she
threw her arms about his neck, @Oh, l-pray
that you may be spared 10 us for long years
in peace and happiness, but love you? Oh !!

Walter loves you very much, Tor he has told

There was something mere than usual in
the old mans eye now.
One evening as the happy trio sat at the
tea table, Walter looked more thoughtful than
was his won't

KINDNESS TO NEGRoEs.-Wo like to Sc.
kindnes, to worthy negroes, and we cncour-
age it on all occasions; We even like to see 6
former master take faithful old servant b,
the hand and give it a kindly shaAe; but there
is certain unmistakable familiarity oitel
exhibited, row a-days, that is sllpremely di'
gus,iug, and we can feel no respect for MAJ,
or woman who can exhibit it.
This Disgusting familiarity is generally at
tccted by persons who have, in former times
been cruel and iuhuman to slaves, and VIII
now, from motives Of policy, would pandcr t.
their worst passions. This is all wrong, anr
caonot but result in evil consequences. This
nsgro will never respectthose who DO moi
respect themselves, and now, taat we have
so little left ua beyond our owr. sclfrespect
If We onoe give that up we shall sink our
selves and our country to state of depravi-
ty in which our,children's children will groyel
through ages OF darkness and misery.

aw puts both on an equality as to the coz
J.act, aud both haye eelual remedies for is
sola ion. Besides annuiIng the law and
setting up in its place the will Of tao coa.
napd;ng officer, the order is obnoxious for
the additional reason, that while it is impcr-
tant to individual and general prosperity, that

NARRow ESCAPE. The down pas
senger train from Columbia, last
Friday, had a very narrow and fortu-
nate escape, by the timely discovery
of q broken rail, from what might
have been q serious accident, attend
ed with loss of life. The discovery
was made by Mr.. George Bryant,
while walking from Orangeburg to
Rowe's Pump. On seeing the de-
fectiye rail, HIr. Bryant remained at
the spot, until the arrival of the train
from Columbia, and stopped it in
time to prevent any accident. The
rsssengers, deeming this action as
worthy of something more than an
expression of thanks, by tho efforts
of Mr.. Al. ID. Harper, Of New York,
made up handsome sum OF money,
which was presented to Mr.. Bryant
as more substantial testimonial of
their appreciation of his noble act.

THE AsHLEY RIVER PHosPHATEs. -
The first expectation of the valuable
deposits of phosphates from their
location on Ashley River, near this
city, took place on Saturday Inst, by
the steamship Falcon, for Baltimore,
which vessel carried among her oargo
shipment Of sixteen tierces of this
manure, It's our hope that this is
but the commencement of q large
and important trade, which will as
sist to an important extent in lifting
the fortunes of some of our citizens
from their present depressed condi-
ton. We hope, however, that those
interested in these deposits may
avoid, 60 far as may be. the policy
hitherto almost unqualifiedly pur-
sued by our people, of sending off
every production Of the country in a
rev state, when. by q little enter
prise, it might be placed in form
which add largely to itsvaiue and to
the wealth OF the State. It can hard
ly be disputed, we think, that we
will never be wealthy and great on
simple agriculture and the exporta-
tion of raw products, The Falcon
carried out rice for Cincinnati and
st. Lonis, cottons for Baltimore and
Philadelphia, and although steamers
are going through "dnll times" at
present, this line appears to be doing
well. - Charleston Ne,Ds.
