for the fox himself, but on expressing it
S-remarked, looking at me with a
most curious expression; why, ma'am,
the foxes they wouldn't know wot to

The greater the degree of

tariffs and exchanges. With
the savage it's a plain matter
here's one and there's the other,
and to many minds his is the

vast army of middleworkers
simpliies intricacies, closes
every transaction and fixes at
once the loss and gain.
What has all this to do with

illustrates the larger-the same
laws and impulses apply. The
strife is for the proft-for the

living is in it. But we are not

with us, by an exchange of
whatever you produce of a

which the farmer now receives

a Ramble Around tho State
acuse.

This grand and magnificent build
ing IS still unfinished, after lapse of
&C years. In the palmy days of the
Palmetto State the foundations were
laid. The building to-day presents a
striking proof "f Che long end dark G..
clipse which, for so many years, obscur.
ed the glory of that once proud ,chival-
rue, and prosperous State. The strong
foundations Of this great house were
laid secure; and the building upon tie
iOundation stone - strong, beautiful,
and grand - is reared Up with artistic
skill. But while the work was thus
progressing, the watchman upon the
nigh Watch Tower of the State, sound
ed the alarm of approaching dauger;-
the sound Of the war trumpet was
heard throughout the length and
breadth Of the Common Wealth. -
The brave, heroic sons of Carolina re.
sponded to the call and rallied to the
Standard o. Liberty and pledged their
lives, the; 9raperty, aud their sacred
honor in defense Of the State.
The wealth, the strength, and the
energy Of the State was directed in a
different channel, and the work on
the great building ceased. And now
huge blocks Of carved and polished
granite lie in confused order around
the walls on all sides, ready for their
proper place in the building when the
master workman calls fpr them
a temporary roofing ls now being
removed and workmen are engaged in
preparing for the completion of the
work. In fnll view in front of .kc
building, upon a granite pedestal,
stands the Confederate Soldier, with
his musket strongly welded with both
hands. There amid the peltiGg storms
and the scorching heat he stands firm,
unmoved - a fit emblem of the brave,
heroic spirit Of that oppressed people,
whose cause he represents.
East aud west, partly obscurcd, as
in deep mourning, stand weeping will
'oSs - weeping over the departed
glory Of the State and for her noble
Fons that sacrificed their lives on the
alter of Liberty. The beautiful Pal,
yneito Tree stands erect - symt0liz
.ug the inherent ard native element
Of that principle Of liberty which ever
burns and groacs in South CaroIinas
pOus, amid adversely and oppression,
and tells to the passing stranger, the
names of those brave warriors ofSoulh
Carolina thst 1eji III the Mexican
War.
The beautiful evergreens around on
every side, cheer up The rambler with
the pleasant thought that there is still
life and hope in the grand old State.
