FOR THE HERALD.
Our next week’s issue will oonuiu
the 0|teiiing chapter of a story entitled
“NINA, oe ▲ Talk ok the Amemicam
Devolution.”
The story will be written by a Geor*
gian expressly for the columns of the
Hehald, and will be continued through
several months; and parties who wish
to keep up with the plot ss it is devel
oped by the author, will do well to
subscribe for the Hkkald at once,as wo
will be unable, without extra pay, to
furnish back numbers of our paper
To say nothing of the other matter
that the Hkkald will contain, the story
itself will be richly worth the sub*
soription price of our paper. In ar
ranging for the publication of this new
romance, we huve been actuated solely
by the desire to please our readers; aud
we trust therefore that our old subscri
bers will exert themselves to obtain
new subscriprious for the Hkkald, so
that we may not suffer loss by reason
of our efforts to supply the wants of
our readers.
The Safety of Sorrow
There is a story of a painter, that we
have somewhere read, that beautifully
illustrates the dark aud bitter experi
ences through which men are sometimes
called to pass. The artist was busy
upon one of the frescoes in the dome
of a Romish cathedral. Absorbed in
the contemplation ol the charming cre
ations of his own "pencil, aud entirely
forgetful of the dizzy height at which
ho was suspended, he stepped back to
admire his work. A brother artist
happening to turn in a fortunate mo*
meut, obeerved his peril. To cry out,
as he thought, would increase the dan
ger. With an impulse, that seemed
almost an inspiration, the friend of the
imperilled artist seized his. brush aud
dashed it full agaiust the beautiful cre
ation upon the wall. Instantly the ar
tist’s reverie was broken. He leaped
foiward, picked up the offending brush
aud augrily demanded an explanation
of the outrage. His friend merely re
plied, pointing to the Uizzj depth be
low, “The picture is spoiled but the
painter is saved.”
God often deals with us in the same
wise compassion. We go on painting
pictures. Our whole hearts are in the
work as we stand lost iu admiration be
fore it. We forget duty, God, every
thing t in the rapt absorption of our
cherished work. Tlieu comes the brush
of Providence dashing against the pict-
lialf blended with our human
grief, our hearts turn in rebellion at
the blow. We can see the ruin of the
desigus we have been jMtieutly and
lovingly elaborating for years, and all
that is left of life seems to us, now, but
a splash ujh»u the wall. By aud by,
when our blending tears have given
place to clearer reason aud a finer faith,
we will see that the blow came not a
moment too soon, and that the hand
that gave it was guided by the highest
mercy. We may not be aware of the
abyss upon whose fatal edge wc are
treading until long after the peril has
been averted, Indeed, we may never
know of it in this life.; but we may rest
assured that the wisdom aud watchful
ness of God are infinitely superior to
our own. We can trust even if wo
cannot see, and may learn to look upon
the destruction of our dearest hopes,
our most cherished pictures,not merely
with resignation, hut with a loving trust
iu the goodness and mercy of God; as
sured, even though we may not now
comprehend the clouded mysteries of
affliction and suffering, that a time
will tome when all the ways of Provi
dence will be completely vindicated and
when it will be seen that the sorest
griefs which burden the hearts of
Christians here are really their most
safe-guards, and that “all things,” sor
row as well an joy, disappointments as
well as success, shattered hopes and
ruined pictures, will “work togeth
er for good” to those who feel that they
are only pilgrims and strangers here,
and who are prepared to accept, or
forego whatever way-side comforts will
help or hinder them in their journey
to the Heavenly City. To all such the
comment upon every shattered fancy
and ruined hope will be “The picture
is spoiled, but the artist is saved.”
A friend to all,
“Ora.”
Sudden Death,
It is our painful duty to ohronicle
the death ot ene of our oldest and bent
citizens—R. D. Allen, Esq., who died
ou Sunday last at about 6 o’clock p. M.
at his residence in this town. At the
time of his death he was sixty-one years
five^nonths and eighteen days of age.
His death, while not unexpected to
his friends, was nevertheless sudden
aud was caused by h stroke of paralysis,
of which he had hud several previous
attacks.
Mr. Allen had for a long number of
years been a consistent member of the
Methodist church, and through all
that time had illustrated the beuuties
aud graces of the Christian’s life. His
church will fiud it hard to supply his
place.
Our deceased friend had for neatly
twenty years been engaged iu the mer
cantile business iu our town, aud his
business was always conducted on
principles of the strictest justice and
bouor. No man stood higher in Lusi
ness circles and his name was synono-
mously with punctuality and honor.
Mr. Allen we believe was a native
of North Carolina, but removed to this
State while he Was yet a boy. lie
leaves a devoted wife and six children
to mourn Ins loss. To the bereaved
family we extend our deepest sympa
thy iu this their hour of trouble; and
knowing the inability of all human
sympathy to console the sorrowing
heart, we would point them to Him
whelms promised to b«- a husband to the
widow and a father to the orphan aud
whose loving hand will bind up the
broken heart wheu all earthly help has
fuiled.

Swallowed a Pin.
We are sorry to relate the un
fortunate occurance which happen
ed to Mrs. Mandy Brewer a few
day8 ago. This good lady on re
tiring to bed at night,placed three
pins in her mouth, but in taking
them out of her aioflth, to her as
tonished surpraise found that, there
remained only two. On swallow
ing immediately thereafter, the
pin was distinctly and paiufully
felt in her throat, which still re
mains unextracted. Dr. Smith
informs ue he hag made every ef
fort to extract the pin but the pain
being so sever to the lady it was
immossible to do so,as the pin had
lodged cross wise in her throat.
This should be a warning to those
ladies who use so vast a number
of pins, and so frequently and wn-
thoughtfully place them in their
mouths.
Burned.

burning her neck, head and face in u
shocking uiauuer. She was found in
this position and it is supposed that
she was overcome with heat and fainted
fulling ss above stated.
Her suffering was intense. Both
eyes protruded from their sockets, and
with the scalds, presented a sickening
H[>cctacle. Th* accident is peculiarly
unfortunate owing to the destitute
