T ’E THIRD DAv’S DRAWING »viil positively
take place—at which lime, the Wheel will be in
such situation, as for .holders of Tickets to reasonably
calculate on some respectable prizes. A nobler chance
ior a fortune, in the way of Lottery, was never present
o J io the public. All who may fee! disposed to purchase
Tickets, would act Wisely, to buy, in the JWilledgevilte
,Masonic Hall Lottery bofire the next drawing. Tin- Lot-
very is it bom-:, and tiiough you should be unfortunate,
ihti-e is still the advantage that the money v ill be in cir-
-cahtion ainengst us, and auUetl to this, the chance is eer-
laiijv very giod to realize ten or fifty times the amount
expend- d for Tickets. On examination of die different
drawings, it .will be seen that ibe small prizes are very
much diminished, leaving in the \\ heel nearly all of tiie
valuable ones—Ii. wiil also be recollected, that the prizes
under two hundred dollars, were deposited in the wheel
at the commcnci ment of the drawing, and that there are
jet to he deposited, prizes from two hundred up to

THE SABBATH BELL.
The Sabbath Bell!—how sweetly breathes
O’er hill and dale that hallowed sound,
When Spring her first bright chaplet wrealhes
The Cotter’s bumble porch around—
And glistening meads of vernal green—
The blossomed hough—the spiral corn-*
Smile o’er the brook that flows between,
As shadowing forth a fairer morn.
The Sabbath B; 11 •—'’tis stillness all,
Save where the lamb’s unconscious bleat,
Or the lone wood dove’s plaintive call,
Are mingling with its cadence sweet;
Save where the lark, on soaring wing,
At heaven’s gate pours her matin song—*■
Oh ! thus shall feathered wirblers sins,
Nor man the grateful strain prolong?
The. Subbath Bell!—how soothing flow
Those greetings to the peasant’s breast!
Who knows not labor, ne’er can know
The blessed calm that sweetens rest!
The day spring of his pilgrimage,
Who, freed awhile from eartLlycare,
Turns meekly to the heaven taught page,
And reads his hopes recorded there.
The Sabbath Bell!—yes, not in vain
That bidding on ihe gale is borne—
Glad respite from the . choing wain,
The sounding ax-, the clamorous horn—*.’
Far other thoughts those notes inspire,
When youth forgets his frolic pace,
Arid man and matron, son and sire,
7 heir church way path together trace.
The Sabhath Bell!—ere yet the peal
In listening murmurs melt av ay,
Tis sweet with reverent step to steal
Where rests around each kindred clay
Where burii-d love and severed friends,
Parent and offspring, shrouded !ie !
The teir drop falls—the prayer ascends-*
The living muse, and icarn to die »
The Sabbath Bel!!—’tis sib nt now—
The holy fane the throng receives
The pastor bends his iged brow,
And slowly turns the sacred I aves.
Oh! blest where blending rank-, agree
To tread the paths their fathers trod.
To bead alike the willing knee,
One fold before one fostering God !

CARLTON WELLBORN,
Hindoo Story —One day a disciple ol Siva
wishing to sacrifice to his Idol, left it by the
ide of a tank, while he went to gather flowers
or the offering; a monkey seeing it snatched
it up and carried it off. The disciple, after
earching for it in vain went to his priest, with
tears in his eyes; “A!a>!” cried ho, “I have
lost my Idol, what shall I do!” “Wretch!”—
cried the priest, ‘ thou hast lost thy «>od! then
hou bast only to prepare to die. Nothing but
hy death cun appease the wrath ol Siva. Tbc
only favor that can be granted thee, is to
choose of three kinds of death—that thou
^houldst pull out thy tongue, or be suffocated
hy the steam of incense, or drown thyself,
choose, and choose speedily.” ‘Well, then.”
-.aid the disciple, “since 1 must die, I should
pr-fer drowning to the other kinds ot death,
for then I can advance into the water little hy
little, and so lose my life, as it were, unawares.
I trust, however, that you will accompany me
o the water’s edge, and give me your bles
sing.” The priest willingly consented, and
followed his disc.ple to the stream. As the
latter Went in, the priest loudly exhorted him
to he courageous, promising him perfect hap
oiness in paradise. The disciple was now in
the water up to his neck, when turning to the
priest, he said, “My dear master, belore 1 die,
grant me one favor; lend me your idol that I
may adore it, afier which 1 shall die content
ed.” The priest consented, and the disciple
came to the bank, received the Idol and re-
rn’errd ’he watrr When he had got a con-
sideiable depth, he let fall the idol, asbyacci
d-nt, and cried out with great apparent emo
‘ion. Ah, Sir! what a misfortune! your Idol is
k>t! ii iv gone to the bottom. Alas’ how sin-
t erelv I lament your fate. Yet were it not for
m. attachment to your person, I should bless
tins accjdetd as the happy means of obtaining
for me the advantage ol dying in company with
my cpiiMuul guide. Y-s we rnusl die togeth
er a* we liavt both lost cm l.Lls, and I trust I
shall follow you to ihe paradise of Siva.” H
theo approached the priest, and seizing him.
[>rotested he would die with him; while the
priest, pale and trembling, regarded his wicked
disciple for 90m* time without speaking. At
last he said, “Well, after all, where is the great
harm of losing a little stone image not worth a
farthing? Come to my mata, where I have got
an assortment of Idols; we will take one a
piece, and nobody will he the wiser.”

GREAT RASCALLY DINNER
• It having been ascertained hy the inmates
o< the State Prison or Penitentiary that Mr, Le
onidas Ligbtfinger,* the celebrated Bank Rub
er, has just been committed, for a crime of
embezzling $40,000 the property of the Rank,
1 message was sent to the Keeper by a com.
inittee of the most hardened villians within
the walls, requesting his permission to meet
their honored compeer at a Dinner, proposed
lo be given him in the public yard, at the ex
pense of the prisoners generally. They offered
to submit in the most quiet manner to any ar
rangement the keeper might make by guards,
or otherwise, to prevent the possibility of any
tumujt or attempt to escape At first the
keeper was a good deal at a los9 what an
swer to return, but reflecting tnat he was on
ly responsible for the safe-keeping of the
scoundrels, and, being somewhat curious to
witness so singulars specacle, he determined to
give his consent, and having taken the precau
tion to double his guards, the parti-colored
company assembled precisely at 2 o’clock and
sat down to a scanty dinner, provided for the
occasion Mr. Peter Picklock, in his woollen
cap, was unanimously called upon to preside,
and was supported by Messrs Burglary and
Arson as Vice-Presidents The utmost hilari
ty and good fellowship prevailed, the after
noon pa-sed off in the most delightful johfica-
tioo.and at the usual lock up hour the whole
party were severally conducted to their re
spective dungeons or cells without the occur
rence of a single circumstance to interrupt the
general satisfaction. The following Toasts
were drank with roaring applause, even great
er, if possible, than that at the Barton Dinner
in Ohio, or at the least of Nullification in
Charleston;

Ligbtfinger—We sympathize in his fortunes,
but glory in the brilliancy of his achievements;

After the noise had subsided, Mr Lighttin-
ger arose and thus addressed the company:
Fellow Prisoners: With feelings of unusual
emotion, I rise to return my sincere thanks to
this assembly, which has not its parallel in the
world for the unmerited compliment contain
ed in your toast, and for the very high honor
you have this day confered on me It shall
remain deeply laid up in my bosom and urge
me to new exertions in our glorious cause,
when the tedious forms of an unjust incarcer-
non against which 1 enL r my solemn proiest
are gone through, and I shall again be u-hered
forth to the world, improved and strength
ened by the force of your example. Hunted
from society by the despicable limbs of the
law. for the no greater crime than the venal |
attempt to distribute more equally the bless
cunningif I ever do assent to them. H?s it
not b en recently demonstrated with a power
and eloquence never before equalled, that ma
jotities may oppress? Read the Debates, if
you can procure them, of the late Convention
in Virginia, arrt! the speeches delivered at the
great State Right’s celebration in Charleston,
and say if a donbt can rest upon the subject?—
No fellow prisoners, a power greater than
man’s has given us t he right to roam at large
through this vast Universe, reaping where we
may, and untrammelled by the odious restric
irons, cunningly devised by the grasping and
rapacious; and since it is our unfortunate lot
to live in an age, as yet, unenlightened and
shackled hy the chains which have been art
fully forged by priest and tyrants, let us go on
nobly in our design of revolutionizing the opin
ions of the world, and Dever rest until we in
troduce that primitive and happy state of
things which existed antecedent to all law—
when our fijst parents were left free to wander
forth with the inestimable privilege—
“Where to choose their place of rest,
“And Providence their guide.”
I thank you. fellow prisoners, for the pa
tience with which you have listened to me
and since propriety forbids me to trespass fur
ther upon your time, I will conclude with a
Toast, in which I am sure of your hearty con
currence:

In the present dreary aspect of oor public
•flairs, it is cheering to seethe Ministers of a
respectable class ot Christians coming forward,
and warning their countrymen against the hor
rible results which ere likely to ensue from the
unhappy excitement that now pervades our
state. It is, therefore, with much gratifica
tion we lay the following resolutions before
our readers.
RESOLUTIONS
Of the Saluda Baptist Association, passed at their
late Session, held at Neale’s Creek Church, in
Anderson District, S. C. from the 1th to 'the
9th of Avgust, 1830.
Resolved, 1st. lhat the present unhappy
state of things in the affairs of the General Go
vernment, relating to the Tariff and Internal
Improvement, demands our serious and pray
erful attention as men, as patriots, and us
Christians. We disclaim all intermeddling in
the political viows which are entertained hy
our Statesmen arid Citizens at Lrge. We
carefully avoid the attempt to exert any influ
ence by the expression of our own opinions, on
either side of the divided state of public sen
timent, in relation to the measures of the Gen
eral Government. As 0 religious body, out
views have regard to what may be the sad rc»
suits ol the prese» 1 course of things in a politi
cal, moral, and reL-^ous point of light. Consi
dering that our dearest rights, and the integri
ty, the unbroken whole, of the United S:aler
are m jeopardy, ii t^ocomes us as Christians tcv
approach the throne of the most High, to sup
plicate his aid for the prose, v.ition of those
blessings, which he has so munificently poured
out upon us.
It must be acknowledged, that wc deserve
the displeasure and the judgments of our heav
enly Father, for our pride, our extravagance,
and the abuse of his rich favors, both in cur
national and individual character. And it may
be, that God is about to leave us to our owe
misguided passions as a chastisement, that we
may become a prey to our own sinful hearts.
Or it may be, that leaving us for awhile to
ourselves, we may reach that extremity in cur
national affairs, which may teach us more im
pressively, than we have been taught, by for
mer lessons, the solemn truths, “That it is not
in man that walketh to direct his steps.” That
“Except the Lord build the hou^e, they labor
in vain, that build it; except the Lord keep the
city the watchman waketh in vain.” And
when we shall thus be taught these salutary
lessons, it may please the most high to make
our extremity, the occasion ofhis gracious op
portunity to relieve us from our unhappy con
dition, and to set us up on high again.
But whatever may be the inscrutable de
signs of Jehovah, it must be acknowledged,
that it is our duty to humble ourselves under
his mighty haod. It i 3 true, that God has not
left us as a nation or as individual States. Of
this fact, we have pleasing evidence in the in
crease of piety and benevolence, so actively
employed in the moral machinery, so power-
fully operating through our whole country.—
• What better then can we do, than labor to call
up within our own State, that spirit in our pre-
A Printer's Anecdote.—Asfwe were going
down street last week, we met a man inquir
ing for our office. Expecting a job, we
promptly returned w>th him, and giving him
an inquiring look, as much as to say, Well I’m
ready to wait on vou—-‘I want” said he, "to
buy a paper.” “Yes sir, here’s one, the la
test.” 1 I want an old one, the one with the
account in it of the storm in Ohio.” So we
commenced a search, and at last found one
which we handed lo him.— How much is it?'
he asked. “Six cents.” “What six cents Ur
an old paper I thought you’d let it go for less?
“No sir, wp never take less, without we giv
it away, was the answer. • Well nrp you sure
fhe account is in it?” “O yes, here it is.’’—
“Well now said he, if you will just sit down
and read it to me, I need’nt buy it.” This was
almost too much, hut it was a good one, and
we read the whole account faithfully and hon
estly. After which the chap cooly said, “On,
it is’nt so bad as I thought for,” and walked
out. In half an hour after, meeting him. I got

as an example.

North Avenue, were taken sudd, nly sick on
Saturday night, in such a manner as led to a
