5S WEEKLY CONSTITUTIONALIST. Woman's Love. BT NICKOLAS MICHELL. z. Spring, blithe ma'den, tripping soft and light, >»-. mm>»-<. Bidding hie moody dreams and g oom dt* * As Summer sports in rich Insurious bowers, h f <n. a«tl. Me». Mating life gay with tlow ers of love.ineM. As teeming Autumn gives her, mellow store, Ripe fruits and golden corn Heaping abundance till, for flowing o er, she scarce can hold her norn; BtFwoman’s love a wealth of joy will yield AU heart fruits gathered from that fertile field. Without you sun—kind source of heart and light— What were the world we boas. I . . An orphan thing wide wrapt in frost and night, A sad world’s wa- dering ghost; Bo bm, cold, dark and cheerlessly would move Along life’s path bereft cf woman”# love. As the sweet lady moon, with brow serene, BoMspreadsheVcalmingsilver o’er the scene, Brightens its gloom, and stills the storms of strife. As gold, hot glowing in the furnace flame, Defies heat’s waiting might, And unconsumed, does issue forth the same, Only more pure and Bright 1 , . Bo ’mid fierce trials true love ne er expires, Made purer by affliction’s searching fires. As mosses weave a beauty round decay, Hiding the rents of years, Till on the ruin, nigged, worn, and gray, A gentle smile appears; Bo woman’s love gives beauty and a grace « To poverty’s poor shattered dwelling place. The purest fount of joy, the tenderest light, Cheering the heart of woe, Lending to strength sweet softness, weakness, might, Heaven's choicest gift below, The comforter in sickness, still above Owning its source-such is woman’s love. The Result of Writing an Illegible Rand. Reading the anecdote that follows has given us the “ blues " from pure sympathy, for if anybody writes a worse hand than ourself we would be overjoyed to she a specimen of it. Just see the consequences of my lord the Marquis not being a good penman! He proposes for his future wife in due form, and before her engagement to another man. His note is such a scrawl, though, that her father cannot make it out, and somebody else says it is an invitation to a pic-nic, and a negative answer is re turned. My lord the Marquis drops the matter. Mr. Chaplin steps in, is success ful, and upon the eve of marriage, when my Jord the Marquis steals his bride, and thereupon Mr. C. vows revenge, and has it in the way of beggaring his enemy by win ning his money. Can anything be more ro mantic, and at the .same time more pro saically practical. Ruin, utter and abso lute, brought upon a man because he didn’t write a readable hand. The story goes that when the young Marquis of Hastings first proposed for the hand of his wife, before her engagement to Mr. Chaplin, he missed his “tip ” most decidedly. One morning at breakfast, the lady’s noble father received, among his other letters, that in vfrhich the Marquis proposed for her hand. Now the Marquis, from various causes, writes a very illegible hand, worse at sometimes than others, hut always bad. This time it was very bad indeed. “Dear me ’” said the old gentleman, “here’s something from Hastings, I can’t make it out at all.” Some of those present looked at it, and said it was an invitation to a pic-nic. “Ohwrite and say we can't! come.” And this was the answer actually sent to the Marquis. Soon alter she was engaged to Mr. Chaplin, but “bolted,” meet ing the Marquis at a linen draper’s and marrying him right off. When she was safely wedded, she wrote as follows to her affianced: “Dear Harry—l have married Hastings, and I hope I'shall make him a better wife than I could ever have macle you,” which was candid, at least. Swimming.—We all know that breast swimming is the style commonly adopted over the world. Beginners commence on the breast, and in nine instances out of ten they continue to move through the water on their breast all through their lives. It is in the water what walking.is on land.— To the beginner it has the advantage of be ing the easiest to learn, and to the adept it has of having “ last ” about it. Long distances are mostly performed in this style, as being more steady, and, consequently, less fatiguing ; so that here the breast frequently conquers its more dashing rival, the side. Also, when swim ming for pleasure rather than for glory, we instinctively take to the breast. The chief rules are: 1. Spread out your hands (fingers closed) s widely, so as to describe as large a circle as you possibly can. If you watch good breast swimmers you will at first be surprised to observe what a broad sweep they make. 2. The same rules hold for the feet; you cannot describe too large a circle; there fore, send out your legs to their utmost length and breadth. 3. After you have described this circle, in order to complete the stroke, bring the heels together sharply and vigorously. Re member, it is the jerk and quick meeting of the heels which sends you forward. It is in this particular that Gurr especially excels, so that he can propel himself five or six feet each stroke. A long stroke could not be made in any other way. The secret of the matter is this, that after the sharp contact of the heels your body instantly floats along, or rather cuts through the water those five feet without any other es- . fort on your part. The stroke made with hands or arms really is of small service, except to maintain your balance on the water. Every reader of English poetry must re member Lord Byron’s exquisite song to the “Maid of Athens”— Maid of Athens, ere we part, Give, oh! give me back my heart! -etc. Professor James R. Boise, of the Chicago University, has lately given an account of his call upon this celebrated woman in 1851. “Mrs. Black—for such was the unpoetic name of the ‘ Maid of Athens’—appeared to be about fifty years old (if I may presume to conjecture the age of a lady.) One could easily imagine that she might have been beautiful when thirty years younger. Her features were peculiarly Grecian; regular, and well proportioned, with forehead suffi ciently high, black and penetrating eyes aquiline nose, and a pretty mouth and chin. At that time it was not the fashion for ladies to have ears and cheeks, as now—so I cannot speak of those features; but the hair which concealed them was black and glossy. Her form was still erect and graceful, and a little above the medium height.” Upon the above pleasant description, which ought to be inserted in the next edition of Byron, we have but one remark to make. Prof. Boise, with a gallantry highly creditable to so great a scholar, has erred on the safe side in his conjecture of the lady’s age. Byron's song was written in 1810 ; so that if she was but 50 years old when the Professor saw her, she was but nine when Byron gave her that poetic adieu.— lndependent. (From the Columbia Fhcenix. The Charleston Mercury and Our Railroads- Mr. Editor : The Charleston -Mercizry, of the 7th instant, contains an editorial denounc ing the policy of the President and Directors of the Charlotte Railroad, as hostile to Charles ton. This article assumes that the Charlotte Road was built, iu a great degree, by Charles ton capital, when the city only subscribed §IO,OOO to its stock ; that the Charlotte Road “ is operated by foreign interests, and to the detriment of the commercial metropolis of the State, and, therefore, to the detriment of the State.” These are remarkable statements, and will be news to the stockholders of other roads and citizens generally of the State. “ And, not only this, but this same hostile interest is now further strengthened, by length ening the line of this same Charlotte Road to Graniteville. When this extension will be com pleted, a large part of the commerce of this State will be taken off over 300 or 400 miles of North Carolina railroads to Portsmouth, Vir ginia.” The editor continues : "Cotton grown 100 miles from Charleston will, by this policy, be forced to Portsmouth." The general and vague statements contained in the foregoing paragraphs only require repe tition for their refutation. Upon the partial statements in the editor’s remarks about “ equitable arrangements ” and what this road offered, and that declined, it is unnecessary to comment. There are two sides to every con troversy, and it is presumable the editor has heard only one, and his judgment in deciding the case might be regarded as ex parte. It is well known that the Charlotte and Charleston roads, for some reasons, have not harmonized, and that the former, knowing its unpopularity in the State, has endeavored to thrust the city of Charleston into the contro versy, to create some sympathy Or interest in its behalf. We would'rejoice to see the pros perity of Charleston restored, and all the trade and business of the State and adjoining States made tributary to her commerce. And, Mr. F.ditor, did not the Charlotte Road (until the present administration of the South Carolina Railroad, contribute as much as any other road, in proportion to its means, to the commerce and wealth of Charleston ? It brought foreign trade and capital to the city, from nearer Ports mouth than its Northern terminus. But let the friends of Charleston not assume that Charleston is the State—that all the roads in the State were built by her and the State for her interest and the “convenience” of others. These claims have long been set up by the South Carolina Railroad, and the remarks of the Mercury appear more in defense of its poli cy than for the interests of Charleston. The South Carolina Railroad Company, as represented by its Piesident, has been decided ly hostile to the construction of the Columbia and Augusta Railroad ; and has been unceasing in his opposition to it, even after ordering its track to be torn up, and one of its trestles to be torn down, and after the bill he filed to en join its construction was decided against him. As the Charlotte Road has aided in the con struction of this extension, so-called, it seems to have incurred the displeasure of the authori ties of the South Carolina Railroad also. — Hence the many articles in the Mercury denun ciatory of both roads. Now, I am a stock holder and friend of the Columbia and Augusta Railroad, and believe and hope that it will be built not only to Graniteville, but to Augusta ; and also fully concur with the Mercury, that it will take cotton to New York from within one hundred miles ot Charleston, if the pre sent policy of the South Carolina Railroad is continued". I believe it will also take much of the cotton and other freights from Augusta to New York, over the South and North Carolina and Virginia Railroads. I concur fully with the Mercury in this, and believe that the larger portion of the valuable merchandize will come from the North, over this same route of 500 miles, by rail to Augusta. And will it not be a beautiful commentary upon the management of the South Carolina Railroad, as the Mercury states, to take the freight from within 100 miles of Charleston by a different route. This would be a great detriment to Charleston, and I should regret to see it, on her account; but if the South Carolina Railroad cannot take the freight as cheap by rail 100 miles, as other roads can 500, then she and Charleston both deserve to lose it, because the road is owned and governed by Charleston and her interests entirely. I am the friend of internal improvement, and favor the construction of every road that can be built in the State, and invite all the foreign aid and capital to build them through every district in the State. The unwarranted pretension has too long been maintained, that one corporation alone has the sc c and exclusive right to construct ; railroads over nearly one-half of the State of South Carolina, thus denying progress and improvement to a large portion of her people. Such monopolies are not only against the great interests of the State, but contrary to the genius and spirit of a free people and republican insti tutions. Such exclusive rights and privileges should not be tolerated in any State. Since writing the foregoing, I have learned that the Charlotte Road has now in operation a tariff made and proposed by it to the South Carolina Railroad, between ’ Charlotte and Charleston, cheaper by far than any one ever heretofore in operation, either b'cfore or since the war. And that within the last two years it made two tariffs, from Charlotte, through Charleston, to New York, and other Northern cities, cheaper than via the Portsmouth route, and that both of these were departed from by either the South Carolina Railroad or the Steamship Company in the transportation of freights, which caused heavy reclamations to be made upon the line for "over-charges; and thus greatly impaired the confidence of all shippers in the up-country through Charleston. That same cotton thus shipped from Charlotte, when it reached Charleston, was re-shipped via Northeastern Railroad, through Wilmington and Portsmouth to New York, with greatly increased charges in excess of the tariff agreed upon and published. When the Mercury wishes to publish articles which bear interval evidence that all the infor mation contained in them has been derived from officers or agents of the South Carolina Railroad, in their defense, for having, by a suicidal policy, impaired the commerce and prosperity of Charleston, we would suggest that it designate the real party to the contro versy, and not substitute that good old city we all so much love. Two years since it cost $lO per bale of cotton to ship it from Columbia to New York via Charleston. The Charlotte Road relieved the planters and the people of the State by taking it from Columbia to New York at §5 per bale, and now it takes it at §4. This was the unpardonable offence of that road ; and the ffcrnth Carolina Road, seeing the power it had to reduce freights, feared “ the extension,” as it calls the Columbia and Augusta Railroad. Hence the war upon it, by tearing up its track, pulling down its works and filing bills to enjoin its construction. The South Carolina Railroad has exercised its monopolies too long for the good of the State and the city of Charleston ; and now, in order to maintain this monopoly, which has hung like a dead pall upon the ener gies of the people and'the vital prosperity of that good old city, she would strangle, iu its inception, every competing road in the State which would unlock its commerce and give prosperity to her people, as she endeavored to do with the Columbia and Augusta Railroad when struggling for existence in a terribly de pressed condition of the country. Edgefield. Crop Prospects in Decatur. —A letter to the Savannah Republican, from Bainbridge, dated July 7, says “refreshing rains have fallen during the past week. Planters report a great improvement in the corn crop. The cotton, though small, is fine ; the catterpillar is in it on the Chattahoochee ; have heard of several plan ters whose entire crops have been destroyed.” The Eufaula News understands the cotton plant in that section is commencing to feel and show the effects of the long continued drought, and unless good seasons set in shortly, not more than half a crop will.be made. It says the late corn might yet be saved with rain, but the early crop, on which all our hopes were centered, is a decided failure. Relatives take the greatest liberties, and give the least assistance. A drenched agriculturist inquires for direc tion how to plant corn from a boat. Bad place for a box—On the ear.
