Elopenent With 9 Married Ksn.

r About week ago the household ofa
Carolina farmer, who resides in Barn,
well District, vas disturbed by the mys.
terious disappearance of one of its mem.
bers, young and con6ding girl, Of some
fifteen summers. Suspicion pointed to
her disappearance with man named
Boyd, who would not require many
strokes Of fburnt. cork to constitute him
..truly loil' in color, aud who had aban,
doned his own wife and children about
the came period, in the same neighbor-
hood. Acting on this suspicion, ,ithe anx-
ious and distressed father arrived in this
city Yesterday mernihg, IN search :"f his
absent and misguided child. Making
known the object Of his visit at police
headquarters, he was accorded co-opers-
ton and soon placed him in possession
of painful yst positive knowledge of the
correctness of his suspicious. Boyd,
with q heartlessness only equaled by the
cruel abandonment of his wife. and chill.
dren, by ins;nusting overtures Of mar
rage, had induced the, trusting girl to
forsake her home to join and share his
unce r,ain fortunes in this city. Arriv-
ing here, be provided her with home Of
,ouestio nable comfort, in q rude saanty
on Bay.stre, t, near Sibley's Alley. Boyd.
we are informed, has manifested great
uneasiness since his arrival here, lest the
father of the girl should pursue and over
take him, and has been making dhigent
inquiry rs to the means by which he
and his companion could escape from the
city on the free list, ss he Claimed not to
have a dollar in the world.
When the father and the officers visi-
ted the house, yesterday morning, Boyd
was said to be absent at work in Ham.
burg. Failing to get glimpse of him,
the father succeeded in inducing his
daughter to return to her home, without
having any collision with the: man to
whom she had committed herself -.'.

LIVE AND LBARN.-The longer one. lives
the moro he must learn, tbere Is no disput-
ing the fact, aad We hope no one WIN at>
tempt to dispute it. In the Manufacture Of
brick for instance. we innocentfy supposed
that after the clay was mixed, pressed. dried
and placed In the kiln, q simple good fire
was all sufficient to complete the making.
But this is not all, we were mistaken, and
have found out what more Is needed, thus
learning 1t is never too late to acquire, ,knowl-
edge. The secret Of making good bard
brick consist not altogether in The degree
of heat, as once foolishly supposed. but in
the number of boys aud men employed in
supplying the fire with fuel, and that each
one 50 employed must be accompanied by
ten or more men or boys, and as many cur
dogs to help make the welkin ring, or night
hideous with their howls. This is the pros
gramme for night. that is if there are any hab-
itations in the neighborhood, butin the day
it matters not. as it is known that everv one
being awake. the general and natural hub
bub together with the fire is sufficient. The
secret then consists in the noise, at night the
shouting of men and boys, the yelling Of
dogs, &C.,, all these are necessary to the suc>
cessful making Of good brick. The reverse
of this will certainly insure lot Of poor, soft
brick We give this Information gratis
that any One disposed to manufacture the
0 s.me, may pursue the right course, aud we
hope those already minated in the modus
operandi will not be down on us Ike thous>
and of bricks, for letting out the secret.

We are panied to know that our friends
the Rev. J. Z. Mendeuhall and Rev. Sam'l
Dunwoody have each been recently bereft of
. lovely child. The former of most inter-
esting and amiable daughter. in her eleventh
year, and the latter of promising little boy,
dren-how suggestive of ripe and holy
thought! What food of memories pour
upon the soul when these pretty pictures of
frail mortality lie before rs, pulseless, mar
bled, still! Who that has not a dear little
friend in the realms Of light and love? Who
that cannot refer to some moment Of life
when childhood and infancy administered
sweet smiles, pleasant words and gentle
deeds7 Without the loves Of childhood life
would lose its pathos. poetry and sentiment!
We cannot determine why the sunny sheart>
ed, bright>eyed, buoysnt youth, abouudiDg
in health and vigor, and often the stay Of
starved and crushed hearts, is removed.
The great truisms Of death are not altogeth>
er revealed. When the delicate threads in
their woof of life are broken, We taste sor.
row that is exquisite; but the bitter draught
yields sweetness that no other experience
can, when faith and hope and love enable us
to return bearing our sheaves! We arc
awakened by the impulsious Of deity-and
move in an higher atmosphere Of thought.
How lovely must be the celestial word-for
thither have the good and the beautiful" Of
earth been tending in all the ages of time.

who found after his good wife had made up
and served the same, that he could do
nothing with them. He tried one, could
neither bite nor break it, and called to his
assistance his little son, and how each at
one end they commenced to pull, and how
it stretched and stretched, until finally his
son disappeared. and never returned more,
and how the good farmer vowed never to
buy any more of such -four. Now as We
never publish anony nous communications,
We are forced to lay this one aside, for fear
lest the good farmer may attempt to do
us injury. 'We do Lot object to hear from
him, but ne, must give his name in future,
and moreover must tell what became of
the little boy and the other end of the roll

Rosrxosr CEMErERY.-Recently. exam.
lining an illustrated catalogue Of Iron work,
in which are a variety of specimens or
patterns for fences or enclosures for burial
lots, our thoughts reverted at once to Rose
mont Cemetery, and its great need of such
ornamentation as these beautiful railings
afford, and that all other Cemeteries, those
of Columbia, Charleston, Augusta, Savan-
nah. &C., are beautiful in this respect, being
thus made doubly attractive as place of
resort and quiet meditation to the friends
and families of those who moulder in the
sod. Rosement needs something of this
kind, besides too that beauty which ever
greens, dropping foliage, trailing vines,
shade trees and flowers give. There is no
ostentstious pride in this beautifying and
adorning the city of our dead, but rather it
shows love and affection and tender mem
ory for the loved and gone. And who
would not rather visit spot thus made
beautiful, than the almost barren waste
which Rosement now presents. Here and
there is an enclosure tastefully laid of, but
the large proportion of the lots have no.
thing more than the mournful mound to
show that there is a burial lot, and here
sleep the loved and the lost. In most cases
perhaps an inability to incur the cost Of
ornanenting or enclosing these lots is the
cause of nothing having been done. In
others it is not 50, however. and as far as
possible, all that can be done should be.
These iron enclosures have much to recon-
mend them, the chic: features of which
are their beauty, durability and cbeapness.
So much to be preferred are they to
wood, that the variety Of style and flush
and size are sufficient to please the .saoss
artistic eye, all of which cannot be realized

- - We had wandered for
many hours through tangled forests OF
Tropical shrubs and trees, some OF them
emitting most delicious and invigoratins
odor, when we suddenly came upon large
and we'll cultivated plantation. in the CEN
tire of which were several buildings. Enter
ing these, we found them to be the ''press
houses" stills, &C., where the sugar cane
is crushed for the manufacture of St. Croix
Rum. Over 100 Coolies we're at work, and
the smell from the fomenting watts was very
e1hilarsting and pleasant. We were shown
through the entire establishment. and learn
ed that all the Rum here produced was
shipped to Messrs. P. H. Drake / Co., New
York, to be made into their celebrated
Plantation Bitters. The peculiar good ef-
fects of this Rum-which is the purest and
best in the worid-are wellknown. Not
a single case OF Dyspepsia, Fever and Ague,
Consumption, or any such disease can be
found on this Island, (except Of invalids
come here for their health, ard they are
almost always cured). Combined with Cal
isaya Bark, Cascarilla. and other impor-
tant ingredients, this Rum becomes Planta-
tion Bitteis; and surely no aner Tonic and
general Family Remedy was ever seen.
The combination OF these Bitters was first
discovered here many years ago, and all
the Natives swear by Plantation Bitters,
and say "thers is nothing like it." Judg.
ing by the robust health Of the witnesses, l
an certain their testimony 10 true.
