! Perhaps 1t was not much for him, out
of the opulence of his gifts, to bestOw n
small share upon me, hut to me it was
life. it was affiuenoe. The formless Wis
Ions that had always haunted me were
embodied in him-he gave me the key
to all mysteries. ! had always been r
strange, dreamy child knew I was
dreamy, and my mother said was
strange-and now I know why had
been so. I had far-reachings after
knowledge, dim intimations of the beau
ty which dwells in art, and now that my
mind had been thought into com-
muniOn with his, learned that / was
indeed horn for higher, nOhler things
than to herd with pessantsi my peers
were elsewhere my life must be else
where. It was not with any flush of
pride that I first realized this. Vain
glorying comes from successful cOmpeti-
tion with our rivals, and when I first
felt that had been created for higher
sphere than that to which the accident
of birth had confined me, eXulted in
1t no more than the bird does in his won
drOusg ift Of song. How could fail to
love him who ha,l unvailed to me this
new world? Remember how dependent
sickness is-think how chivalrOus and
tender, how noble and good inc showed
himself to me! As day after day the
music of his voice was poured into my
ear, as his eye rested upon me with fer
vent love, as every latent force in my
nature allied itself to him, what wonder
was it that I, proud, passionate, and
eager for sympathy and affection, grew
to love him as only such souls GAN love.
All my life long there had been an I'M
satisfied void in my heart; it had sought
clamorously to be filed, it had peopIed
the solitude Of the forest with visionary
shapes whose spirits could respond to
me. Now here was the reality of my
widest dreams, and with what bliss and
peace did it fill my whole soul? It
flooded me like light, it bathed me in
almost celestial glory. Life was no
longer the barren waste it seemed to me
in many moods. 1t was like garden,
in whose midst is a fountain, whose pRP-
ennial waters nurture fragrant flowers,
and the music of whose falling is per
petual melody. How I rejoiccd in my
beauty now, for it gave him pleasure-it
was one Of the things which lept me a
charm in his eyes, and ] loved it for his
sake.
I liked to heaT his voiee in its praise
when he Wanted the rich smoOthness Of
my raven braids, when ne looked adj

NO Mercy to tho Thleve..

Our cotemporary of the Camden Jour
nal unites with us in the call for action
against the faithless criminal State Of
ficials. who have 30 ruined our finances
and wounded our prosperity. Under
the head of ''No Mercy to the Thieves. +"
the Journal says:
Every lover of his native State owes
1T both to her and himself at this time to
aid IN bringing to merited punish % ent
the thieves who have plundered US fur
the last three years. Every fact known
to any one, which is likely to be Of as.
sistanoe in this great work, should be
made public. Every dark, under hand
ed, mean and dirty trick should be ex-
posed. No mercy should be shown to
the thieves.
The case stands thus: a bout three
and half years ago, the Republican
party came Into power in this State.
they found deDt, all told, foatine and
funded, of less than Sc, 1000, 600. In
three years, that debt has been tripled.
nearly quadrupled, by the thieves. Gov.
Scott has made. during that period, six
different statements Of the debt, and un-
blusbingly and knowingly falsified every
one of them.
"The taxes of the State have been
quadrupled during tho three years, and
poor people. as we all, white and color.
ed, are, we cannot, do what We will, paw
them and prosper. 1t is impossible.
"The number of salaried Offices has
been quadrupled, and in addition to
paying for an extravngant and expensive
State Government. we are also com.
poiied to sustain an equally extravagant
and expensive, proportionately, County
Government.
Every prominent official in the State.
connected with the financial operations
OF the government, is stepped in the
frauds that have been perpetrated. The
gravest charges against them have been
met by silence. Very feeble attempts
have been made to throw the burden of
guilt upon the hirelings ready to do the
bidding OF their masters, and the most
outrageous frauds have become 30 com
mon that the people have almost ceased
to be interested in their recital. Now.
however, since the entering wedge has
been driven into this mass of corruption.
and the beginning Of the horrors that
nnderlfe 1t has been reached, we should
continue to press the matter until we
probe it to the bottom, split it wide
open, and let in light upon the very end
of it.
THE time for action, continued and
]udicious action, has nrrived. Let us
act"

Ool. T.. then showed that the City
Hall was to be eerected asa cost Of 8l38,-
600. when the Chairman of tho Commit
tee OF Ways and Means,t OF th5 louncll,
had assured several citizens, before the
contract was awarded to State Senator j.
NJ. Allen, that the cost would not exceed
$50. 900; that the architect had made
similar statements, and that, more than
all. Messrs. Troy and Fry, experienced
mechanics and responsible oitizens, had
| examined the plans for the building and
stated, under oath, that the cost of erec-
ton should not exceed, including the
compensation Of the contractors, S7S. 900.
and that they would undertake the work
for that sum. giving good security for its
faithful performance.
The speaker then exposed the secret
manner in which the Council had order
ed the issuing Of bonds to the amount
OF $3.50, 600, which had been pledged to
Or. Neagle to obtain an advance of
$50. 600; and this, too, on ruinous terms,
when Hardy Solomon, Esq, President OF
one OF the banks in this city, had offered
to secure the amount on reasonable
terms. Not only had this issuing of
bonds been done in secret, but the CITY
Clerk had been instructed to suppress
all allusion to the fact in the official copy
OF the proceedings published in the
newspapers.
Col. i. next explained the scheme by
which the Legislature was asked to give
tho Council authority to issue $500. 600
worth of eight per cent. !7onds, and
showed that the interest OF these bonds
would exceed, by about SIG, 900, tho
annual income of the city.
Col. Thomas closed with an eloouent
appeal to the taxpayers OF Columbia, to
unite and bring this corrupt City Coun-
Oil before the courts; and that while he
could not advocate the Hoge and
Worthington policy of hanging public
plunderers to the lamp.posts, he hoped
that no lawful means would be left un-
tried to arrest the career of fraud and
swindling which the Council was pursu
ing.
Col. Thomas speech was powerful
one, and elicited the frequent and hearty
applause Of the Intelligent audience that
listened TO i: with deep attention.
James .. Tradewell, Esq, spoke at
some length, defending the City Council
from the charge made OF being in the
ring, &c.
Mr.. John Q. Soegers, in reply, stated
that the contractors who, at the request
Of the Board of Trade, had estimated
the cost of building the City Hall, re-
ported that the work could be done at q
cost OF S76, 900; and that they we're
willing to undertake it for that price,
and he would 60 their security.
The resolution and protest we're
unanimously adopted.

THE TRUE NOBILITY OF EARTH The
Legislature of Alabama agreed to pay
three lawyers, employed in the Stanton
railroad suit at Knoxville, $4,000 One
OF these. Gen. James II. Clunton, was
Killed and left his family poor. The
other two. Messrs. Stone and Clopton,
transferred their interest in the fee OF
