thithcr in vessel sailing direct from
| Nautcs.
After long ntcrccsSion, the couplc
were induced by the goycrnor-gcncraI TO
repair, on board Dutch vessel, TO the
Isle of Bourbon, where they resided for
many years. In l75i, the count was
removed by m epidemic fever, and his
death was soon followed by that of his
child.
In the succeeding autumn, 1855, the
widow whose cup Of sorrow was now
filled to the brim, went to live in the
Faubourg Montmartrc near Paris, but
six wears later she retired to Brussels at
the invitation Of some of her old friends,
The story of her misiortuncs, though
made known to Il precious few, reached
the ears of Ferdinand Albert II, duke Of
Brunswick -Bcycrn, who allowed her an
annual pension Of sixty thousand HORNS
Although constantly bcsct by troubles
on all sides, and even prosecuted by the
RomisIl propaganda, she resisted all in
yitations to again join her family, By
deeds Of charity she cndcMcd herself to
the poor of Brussels, and finally died,
stcadfast believer in Professionalism, in
September, l772, aged scvcnty-cight.
Perhaps this is all that will ever be
known Of the story Of the Sorrowcd wife
of the Grand Duke Alexis. For many
years after her death, the most remark
able incident, Of her career were con-
ccalcd from the public; and until re-
Gently, historical researches were power
less to recall them. There can be- no
doubt that her cycntiul life was sur
rounded with even darker mystery than
has yet been cleared up But, even IL
ii is, its romanticism impartS TO il AN air
Of ialschood while, ON the other hand,
the knowledge of sworn testimony makes
the seeming fiction more remarkable
than truth. The poet, if not the histo-
rian may yet pay honest tribute to the
memory of the ilI-,tarrcd Charlotte Of
Brunswick. 4, l., Anstin, in APplcton'S

Vcx me no more. No longer I'LL my heart
With strange unrest, 80 near akin to PAIN
FIJI up the doubling void, aud bid depart
The numolcSS shadow which no mortal art
Can Danish never 10 return again,
Break thy sad spell, Release the captive Hope,
So sadly pining for the morning light,
Undo the bonds Of charity, and Opc
Faiths slumbering vision to the wider scope
OF an immortal day dcyOnd the night
Oh, cease thy power Let human love rejoice
That the sweet kisses OF its early bloom
Shall DO perennial That smile and voice,
That form and features of the hearts fond choice
Shall live again beyond the cruel tomb
will not yield. The ioaming tide may rave,
And threaten dircu wreck Of all my love.
The eager tempest shall find me brave
With full reliance on the power that gave,
That it will land us on the shores above.

A LIFE APART.

Across my mind, like idle wind,

A dream anoat, my little boat
And alone steal Out Ia sen
One vanished year, q Lost ami Dear
You rOwcd the little boat for me-
All who can sing Of anything
with none To listen lovingly
Or who can time the ears Ia rhyme
When left To row alone TO sea?

CAMPBELL STATION ITEMS.

1t has now been three weeks since Mr..
Thos. White met with his accident; il
has been a matter of astOnishment to
his physicians and every one else that
he has done so we'll. This is mainly at
tributable to his fine health and his SO
calmly and quietly resigning himself To
his condition. Indeed a murmur has
not escaped his lips since his wound
was first dressed. If he is asked the
question, chow he takes the matter so
cOolly," his reply is ga mans religion is
not worth much TO him if it will not
sustain him under such trying circum-
stances" a. G. Thompson says Mr..
White is the most energetic man in ali
this country.
Mr.. A X. Kerr, has been elected Su-
perintendent OF the Sunday School in
place of Mr.. White. On last Sunday
after Sunday School was over, the

took of the Lords Supper with him.

MT. PLEASANT ITEMS.

Mr.. 0. c. Owen, our most enterp rising
merchant and townsman, left for New
York last Monday morning, for the pur-
pose of purchasing Fall and Winter stock
of dry goods, boots, shoes, hats, queens
ware, hardware, &c. His trade is so enor-
nous, and his stock so large, that it re-
q1ires three rooms, which are connected
by inner doors to contain it, and the as
sistance of three or four clerks to wait
upon his numerous customers during the
business season. His trade comprises,
besides that of this place and vicinity,
considerable portion OF the counties Of
Wayne, Lawrence and Lewis. Mr., Owen
is gentlemen of fine business qualifica-
tions, warm heart, aud never fails to be-
stow literally upon every charitable OBJ
ject, as well as that which affects the pub
lie good; he has by his close attention to
business, gentlemanly bearing and fair
dealing, won a large aud lucrative trade,
and the confidence and esteem OF this en-
tire community. He is certainly one Of
the most energetic and vigilant men of
our country, and now realizes hand
some income. His new stock of goods
will be on hand in few. weeks, and we
assure the public, that thaJ will be OF the
best selection, and will be offered at
moderate prices. We reque.t all thos 1,
who may reed anything in his line, to
give hi call before Purchasing else
where.
We now answer to the best of our knowl-
edge aud ability the query. Who has
the best piece of corn in this section Of
country? Colonel J. w. S. Ridley, owns
a field about fifty acres of which lies just
opposite Maj. B. r. Harris, which is pro-
nounced to be the most regular as stand,
largest stalk, and abounds with the largest
ears. The land upon which it is, was not
many years since, to use the common phra-
seologY, too poor to sprout peas. See
what careful arrangements proper adopta-
ton, civilization will secure!
There is much larger crop of Sugar
cane and tobacco III cultivation this
year than usual, and it is producing re-
markably well. We hope that its cult
walton may be sufficiently remunera!ive
to subvert the growth of cotton in our
county, which is not suited to the king
cotton.
There exists at present a considerable
amount of sickness in this place and vi
cinity. Mrs Matte Irwin, the wife Of
Mr.. S. w. Irwin, citizen of our town,

fever, we are glad to learn is much bet
