The damp of death Is coming fast, My fhthor, o'er my brow ; The pest with ell its scenes bee fled, Ao'l I roust turn me now To that dim future, which in sain My feeble eyes decry— Tell tuc, my (ether, in this hour, In whose stern faith to die. In thine ? I've watched thy acornful smile, And heard thy moulting tone, Where'er the Christian's humble hope Was placed ebove thioe own ; I’ve lieerd thee speak of coming death Without a shade of gloom, And laugh et all the childUh fears That cluster round the tomb. Or is it my mother’s faith ? How fondly do I irate, Through roi»v a weary year lung past, That calm end saintly face! How often do 1 call to mind. Now she is 'ueath the sod, Tbe place, the hour in which she drew My early thoughts to God! 'Twas thou she took this sacred book, And frutn its burning page, Resd bow iu truths support the soul In youth and failing age; And bade me iu its precepts live, And by il» precepts die, That I might share a home of love In worlds among the sky. My father, shall 1 look above Amid this gathering g’oom, To Him whose promises of love Extend beyond the tomb ? Or, curse the Being who hath blessed This checkered path of mine, And promises eternal lest! A ud die, my sire, lu thine ? The frowns upon that warrior brow Passed like a cloud sway, .And tears coursed down the rugged cheek, That flowed Ut«t till that day. " Nut, not iu mine," with choking voice. The skeptic made reply : " But in thy mother's holy faith, My daughter may’st though die." Communications. ML V. GURLEY, SC JtGEO. Y 2) E.YTIST, r pAICES pleasuro in announcing to JL the cftlseni •*!

At one time since its iirst ap pearance, this dreaded disease was generally thought lu have d.sap peared tVu.il oar euunty. But this was a sad mistake. It has again made its horrid appearance in two diheront sect.ons of the co:n:tv. Ii in now in tiic Autiocn nciihhorh-vod, and we learn is spreading and likely to spread thousand dollars. This, wc learn, will also l>e litigated. Fakming. This interest is now very much behind, and our farmers put on long faces and look very despoud- ing. The utmost continuous rains since Christmas, have been a great draw-back to them. They all say they have never experienced so much and such continuous rain as has fallen in the Inst three mouths. No one has been able to do any thing with bottom lands. Those who have ditched them, have had their ditches tilled lip and are ns bad ofi as those who have done nothing. Our farmers are also complain ing at tbe extortionary prices they have to pay for their supplies. Some of them, perfectly good, are now having to pay IS cents per pound for their meat on time, when the cash would buy tiic same meat at 12 cents per pound. The merchants thus charging 50 per cent, interest for nine months’ time, or sixty-six and two-thirds cents per annum. This, they can not stand, and arc beginning to see it. Many of them have real ized this fact, and have refused to pay their last year's accounts, and taken the money and bought for cash. This is now the great em barrassment of the merchants. These farmers then give as a rea son for their course, that this ac tion on the part of the merchants doing a credit business, is not le gitimate and right. That the merchant who thus sells to them is only taking advantage of them, by force, to take from them and their families what ought to be the just reward of their labor, and as it is a game of force, they will let the merchant force the money if he can. They say the merchant thus charges them because he can, and on the same principle, they refuse to pay him because they can; that it is a poor rule that don’t work both ways. Personal.

Away up in the mountains, among the wild oats, the grizzlies take their morning mips, after their nightly prowling about in search of any stray calf, pig or other small game.

When the tall wild oats, half way up the mountains, were reached, the party had not ridden more than two minutes among the tall, dry wisps, when the horses suddenly'started, snort ing loudly, and instantly a huge grizzly stood erect, with a terrific presence, high above the dry, wild oats.

On Saturday, the 27th ult., the quiet town of Lexington was thrown into the greatest excite ment by the announcement that this negro had the disease.

Hull, now a resi dent of Augusta, Ga., and one of j Georgia’s most honored sons, as well as one of her prolbundest lawyers, was in Lexington a lew days ago on a 1 nisi ness trip. To J see him on the streets, carries one back in memory to those halcyon days of yore, when all was peace ly, his cruel teeth and red mouth unpleasantly conspicuous. Each man and every horse tor the in stant, seemed petrified—as if, while every nerve and every mus cle aud wary sense was at its ut most tension, they had suddenly looked upon the Medusa. In a second’s time, Pacheco spurred forward, swinging bis iasso. The bear commenced sparring warily, and few professional boxers can fend off as these creatures will. But Pacheco’s lasso shot out like an arrow, and clasped about the huge fore-foot, when the horse (who saw every movement, and \ was just as wide awake as Pacheco) sprang the other way, and the lasso being fast to the pommel, the bear was instantly thrown to the ground, when the two other men, quick as lightning, hud thrown their lassos, and caught the hind-feet; then another rider caught the louse fore-foot, and the four horses took tlu ir posi tions like cavalry animals trained by some noiseless signal, and slowly marched down the moun tain's side, two horses in the van and two in the rear, dragging export and import direct ? - 1. rhe yarn would be stronger. .

Very little ap prehension is now felt as to its spread from this case. Superior Court. Fears are now being entertained by our people, that our Court which is to come off next Monday, will be adjourned as a precaution ary measure in view of the preva lence of the Small-pox. Notwithstanding the small mini her of cases brought to this term of tlin Court, it will be a term for the transaction of a large amount of business. The criminal docket will be quite heavy. The now fa mous Eberhart cases, that is the criminal cases, will stand for trial at this term and are likely to re quire a considerable leugth of time in their trial. Both sides wc learn, arc anxious to try these cases as soon as possible. Besides these, there a:e several others that will take some time to try perior Court to answer the charge. ] But Col. Thurmond is a living, j moving denial of the language of Shakspenrc, when the latter says, "fat paunches usually have lean pates,” for Col. ’] hurmoud’s huge physical proportions, are only equalled by his magnitude ofmi’ d and genially of soul, and all who meet him have only to regret hav ing to separate from him. Wheat and Oat Crops Are looking remarkably fine at this time, and should no misfor tune befall them from now on, we may promise ourselves an abundant harvest, as more of each of these crops have been planted this year, we think, than any year since the war. The most notewoi thy cases brought to the present term of the Court are the cases of Mrs. Stribling, widow of Dr. C. C. Stribling, lately deceased, against the Eberharts, in damages, for the killing of her husband. The damaiMfifci the case are laid at fifty tfflBRuid dollars. This case, ot course, will be stubbornly liti gated. The other most important civil cas,j is that of S. H. Cox ugainst Thomas Atnis, also a case iu dam ages, for alleged back-water from Amis’ mill-pond on the land of Cox.

A colored preacher remarked, “When God inadede fust man He set him up agin de fence to dry.” “Who made de fence?” interrupted an eager listener. “Put dat man out!” ex claimed the colored preacher; “such questions as dat’d destroy all the the ology in de world.” Brown, the disappointed, says that it requires about as long to get a girl wed out ol her twentieth year as for a grassy descent, the rear horses keeping just tnutline enough to prevent the bear from getting any use ot his terrible hind claws. Nalil has painted sonic of these California lassoing scenes, that have been as near justice to such exciting tableaux ns could be done by the paiuter’s art, but nothing could portray the intensity of ex citement nnd action brought forth at such a moment. Pacheco was, at that time, twenty-one years old, and the handsomest man we every looked upon. * 1 guess the panther iu the wil derness was not more fair than he When lie first realized the sud den presence of the terrible cn emy, and stood erect in his stir mps, his face gleaming with the glory of youth, fearlessness and excitement—bis great black eyes sparkling, his white teeth tightly pressed upon his nether lips, per fectly still for a second, he was the most glorious object in nature In no longer time than tiie sight of this could be taken in, lie sprang forward, liis long dark hair tossed wildly for a moment, nud then he had captured the hear, ns related. The captors slowly took their prisouer dowu to the house, where a long, heavy piece of timber lay upon the grass. Fastening the bear's hind feet to the timber with the strong lasso, nud the fore-feet to a strong, deep-driven stake, they stepped away to a respectful distance, their eyes upon the fe rocious creature aud their hands upon their saddle-pommels. We walked up close to the bear to take a careful look at him. All cried out, * Cuiado !’—take care. * Why, he’s all secure,’ we said You don’t thiuk he could get loose ?’ ’Perhaps not, but you’d better keep away.’ And we did. The hear lay with his head be tween his huge paws, covering his eyes, save occasionally when he would furtively lift his eyes like a sulky child, to look at his captors; then covering his eyes again, remain a mouieut and steal another look.
