Indian Summer, Each day breaking forth
into glorious sunshine! Smiling skies re-
dient with tintS OF opaliae, enriched with
gold and ametlist. OF marvellous b. auty
these days are indeed, seemingly made Tor
Joy and delight, with nothing enervatlng in
their heat nothing depressing in their cold
Creating that delicious atmosphere n
which we ere wont % luXurinte. Just let a
fellow get his pedal extremities elevated to
the proper altitude, ingratiate MS spinal
vertebre, in the requisite position for coil
fort with one of Bfailstord's Flor de Gu
ba's" and Emile lola s latest production as
auxiliaries to solid happiness and then
all we ask OF the humble being Of THIS nun
dane sphere is embodied in The modest re-
quest Of Dlogenes to Alexander, Stand out
Of my light, out Of my sunshine.
.Blest power of sunshine ! genial day,
What balm, what Efe IS thy ray!
To feel thee is such real bliss,
That had the world 70 JOY but this,
To sit in sunshine calm and sweet,
1t were world too exquisite"
We greet thee, I. PeZ, with q smile, and
thanks for your--ouc-complimen
We are not dangerous, and your avoirdu-
pois and stature inspire US with "a meek
heart and due reverance, for alas we can't
boast the same peutiful endowment Of
weight and height. Without diSparaging
any of our fraternity, We accord L. PeZ as
one of the exoticS comprising the variegattd
boouet of Times correspondents, the exait-
ed position Of the 'NobleSt Roman of them
all.' The copious stream Of beautiful SEN
timent which impregnated his last article,
was delightful.
An apostrophe avowed recently that
we were done with observations upon pri-
marieS, and meant it, but 2 friend consid-
erately reminds Us that in our presumptu-
Gus invasion into the precincts Of the chas-
tened, sad, and serious contemplatlons Of
some disappointed gentlemen. we should
have tempered our criticisms and depictions
by s6rerlng to that band Of pusilanimous
and mendacious hypocrites who with falla-
cious promises and seductive aatte-y, allur-
ed them to the ragged edge Of the precipice
Of disappointment. We are not so equotis-
teal as to think orr views vii. affect public
opinion, or mould popular sentiment, and
It is with temerity we venture our sent.-
ments. We do consider the political hypo-
crite, who hesitates not to violate the COM
mand: Thou shalt not bear false witness
against thy neighbor;" who makes more
promises in ten minutes than he can fulfill
IN as Many years-and can out PhariSee the
Pharisee for vanity in his ability to deceive,
we repeat ,re do consider him 4 most con-
tcmptible specimen of degenerate humanity.
Let him read with care, the 5th chapter OF
Acts, and be warned by the fate of Ananias
and Sapphira Turn sinner turn and
''sln no more" or else you Will subsequently
abide in c warmer cline. |; the de-, when
he turns the key OF this gentry, doesn't plug
up the key hole, their internal souls are ST.
small that they will sneak out and cheat
his majesty of what belongs to him.
20 for 4 tongue 10 curse the slave,
Whose treason like blight.
Comes oer the courSeIs OF the brave
And blasts them in their hour Of might:
Nav be at LIST with lips OF dame
On tie parclet: desert, thirsting die,
While lakes that shone n mocherv nigh
Are fading Oft untouched, unu.s,ct,
Like the once glorious hopes he blasted!
And when from eartL his spir; flies,
Just Prophet, lei the damned one dwell
Full in sight of Paradise,
Beho.,l:ns heaven and feeling he'll =
Misses Carrie and Mimic Bates, OF Wa
teree, haze for the past week been welcom-
ed guests at Capt. }. J. Rroughtons.
Conspicuous among the many who enjoy
ed the Hospitality of Capt. Brorsi,ton last
week, Was Nj. H. Drauc Tin dn!, the hand
some young merchant at Hodges Corner.
The countenance OF our friend, j., is
wreathed IN a pleasant smile. He IS the
happy father of . bouncing boy. May this
go,o1g gentleman life pilgrimage be rada-
ted witt sunshine and beautiticG with ros-
es-frce from sorrows cloud, except tne re-
gret OF his inability to claim old Clarendon
as his birth place. ARdoSAUr.
