Low measures of feeling are better
than ecstacies for ordinary life. Heaven
sends its rains in gentle drops, else the
flowers would be beaten to pieces.
If the tear of woman passes away
lightly, so fntters away still more lightly
her smile; and the latter, still oftener
than the former, is only appearance.
1t is generally true that we Judge too
bitterly and harshly the faults of every
Office which we do not ourselves hold.
With love, the heart becomes fair and
fertile garden, glowing with snnshine
and warm hues, and exhaling sweet
odors.
The good fortune Of the bad bow their
heads down to TIE earth; the bad for
tune of the good turns their faces up to
heaven.
Every country should be bounded
North, South, East, and West, by truth,
justice, charity, and peace.

EMANATIoNs FROM THE EXECUTIVE
Adolph Feininger has been appointed
Librarian and State House Keeper, from
and after the 18th inst.
Jacob NJ. Pincud, Magistrate at Wood
vile, Charleston County.
P. w. Goodwin, Magistrate at Hodges
Station, in place of J. Roger, resigned
J. A. Leland, at Greenwood, in place
of J. B. Tarrant.
Thomas Anderson, Magistrate in Fair
field County, in place of J. A. Gran y
ton, disqualified.
James e. Quattlebaum, Magistrate for
Orangeburg.
E. W. Everson, of Richland, and G.
S. Bull, of Orangeburg, Notaries Pub
lie.
Edgar A. Nicholson, Deputy Surveyor
for Beaufort County.
The Governor has pardoned Thomas
Graham, who was sentenced to be hung
on the 30th of April last, but was re-
spited for the purpose of procuring i'm
portant testimony not adduced at the
trial. After reviewing the testimony
of Brudick, the Governor says: The
testimony of Brudick explains satisfac-
torily several matters that were made to
bear prejudicially against the prisoner,
and it is deeply 20 be regretted that the
efforts of the Sheriff to find him were
not successful, so that his evidence could
have been produced on tho trial. It
wonld have prevented the preparation
of grave error in consigning, under the
forms of law, an innocent man to death ,
and his name to infamy. This has hap
PLY been prevented by the humane
efforts of few patriotic citizens in Sc.
curing the evidence necessary to his ex,
culpation. It affords me high gratifi
cation to state my conviction, which is
fully sustained by the evidence, that the
death of james Thomas was clearly the
result of accident, and, accordingly, to
grant full pardon to Thomas Graham,
ignorantly and wrongfully convicted OF
his murder, and to order his discharge
from confinement.
Cyrus Conchman was convicted of the
murder of Robert p. Suggs, near Flo
renee, on the 10th Of January last, and
was sentenced to be hung on the 30th of
April. He was respited to afford an op-
portunity to re-examine the testimony.
Upon full investigation, the Governor
has come to the conclusion that there
is not sufficient in it to justify him i'll in
terfering with the course of the law as
embodied in his sentence, and it will
therefore be executed on Friday, the
18th inst.
Charles D. Gehrals was convicted al
the Orangeburg Court Of assault and
battery, with intent to kill, and fined
$500 The Governor has remitted the
penalty, on the ground OF violent provo,
cation in the most infamous abuse OF the
defendant and his family by the prose.

The blood is the great nutritive fluid.
It's Office is two-fold. 1t provides mate
rial for the regeneration of all parts, and
receiving the products of their waste, it
conveys them to proper organs for re-
moval from the system. Thus it carries
lifo to the body, and removing therefrom
effete matters, it carries off the seeds of
disease and death. Pure blood is, in
fine, the great nutritive element of the
body, the great nourisher of the tissues,
the very life of the flesh, the very es-
sence of health. HEINITsH's QUEEN DE-
LIGHT is the great medicine for the blood,
and everybody should try it. Countless
are the testimonials in its favor. 1t is
truly the only medicine now needed as
summer tonic and liver invigorator. jill

While berry bush and bSamble spray
Along the hot wall simmer.
The plow-share glitters in the sun
Through murdered daises clinging;
The neeEed birds leave busy bees
To do the noon-day singing.
Bright noon no eager question asks,
But like en- old nurse story,
Told as she holds us on her breast,
Croons soft Of love and glory.
The weary plowman's lazy length
Lies in the shadow narrow,
That clings about the haystack foot,
Careless as guarded sparrow.
Oh, peaceful hour of summer noonl
Life has its midnight slumber;
Has it no noon day rest for us,
When cares shall cease to cumber?
