Waiting.
BY MRS. ELLEN M. MITCHELL.
? Ti* past the midnight hour,
Was that his tread upon the silent street?
The faintest sound bas power
To make each throbbing' pulse with tumnlt
No, no, I watch in vain ;
The idol I have made is only clay ;
Oh Qod, soothe Thou this pain 1
Roll back the clouds of gloom that shroud my
way.
A woman’s lot is mine ;
To love, to suffer, in meek patience bear
With wrong, yet give no sign
Os outward woe, no token of despair.
Though all the world for.-ake,
I pledged my word with him to live and die ;
That vow I will not break ;
My soul is bound by every tie.
Can I not bear neglects.
At length to lure him from his downward
track!
Is hope forever wrecked f
Will not ray strong love win the truant back?
Hush! heard you not a tone ?
The sleeping babe stirred softly on my breast;
Was that the wind’s low moan ?
The very air with listening seems oppressed.
Whet# is thy father, child ?
This long long weary night will soon be pass
ed ;
Have fiends his steps beguiled
To wicked haunts- -their snares about him cast ?
Oh God ! my weak heart aid.
His reeling, staggering steps at last I know ;
I shrink from him afraid—
Have I not felt the fierce weight of his blow ?
Is this to be my fat e ‘
Night after night ? Will nothing melt bis heart ?
Mast I all vainly wait?
O, demon of the bowl, how strong tbou art!
Sit si ac. —Daring this year four thou
sand one hundred tons of sumac have
lieen gathered tn Virginia. It sold for
twenty dollars a ton, bringing eighty
two thosand dollars.
Now, this is wild sumac, gathered in
the locks of fences, alongside of the
roads and in worn-out old fields. Such
a product cannot he of the highest
grade. Nevertheless, American sumac,
with all these disadvantages, commands
the,best prices in the market.
Owing to the nature of this plant, it
is free from vermin, and its yield is very
uniform being less injured by drought
than almost anything else. One great
argument, then, for raising it is the cer
tainty of the cr->p.
As it is not cultivated, the gatherers
of sumac have to run over a large tract
of country to collect a ton. This de
stroys a very con -iderable portion of its
value to the collector. If however, it
were planted close together, the raiser
would be able to gather it at very little
Knee, and the product would be far
lior to the wild article. It would
h much more, the chemical proper
jf the fruit would Ire far more ac
it would be free from dirt, and
and bring a much higher price than
cs now,
ch is the great demand for sumac in
this country by England and France for
manufacturing purposes, that it would
toect with the most rapid sale, and there
Can be no danger that a ready market
could not be found for all that could be
produced in Virginia.
t We look upon the introduction of the
. regular cultivation of this plant as of the
greatest importance to our State—Nor

The Pioneer’s Daughter.
BY MRS. L. S. GOODWIN.
It was-the winter of 1777, memorable
through all the annals of American his
tory as that in which our suffering army
under General Washington, was en
camped at Valley Forge. Among that
brave and patriotic band, who tracked
the frozen snow with the blood,of their
unprotected feet on the march from
White Marsh, was Alfred Sydney, a
lineal descendant of Sir Philip Sydney,
chamberlain to King Henry 11., and of
Algernon Sydney, who in the time of
Cromwell died on the scaffold, a martyr
to his noble republican principles.
The young wife of Alfred Sydney,
when her husband went forth to fight
the battles of the Revolution, was, with
their infant child, received into the
home of her childhood—her father, Mr.
Vermon, being a sturdy and intelligent
pioneer in a then sparsely settled dis
trict in the State of New*£flrk. This
home is the scene of the present sketch.
“The dangerous proximity t 6 the fron
tier had induced Mr. Vermen’s neigh'
bors, few enough before, to remove near
er the forts and strongholders in posses
sion of our army, untill he was left
quite alone at a distance .0? ten rtites
from any settlement. But being a fear
less man, he was little disturbed by the
circumstance. His wife .being dead,
himself, bis daughter and the infant
comprising the household. Clara Syd
ney, inheriting her father’s spirit of
proud independence, slept quietly in
that insulated home, dreaming not of,
readcoats or scalping knives, and regret
ting only the remoteness from any point
at which news regarding the state of
the country was to be obtained. Glad
ly would she sit alone the long day with
her helpless babe, as often as she could
prevail on her father to go to town for
letters from Alfred, or any tidiugs that
might affect him.
Coe day in January Mr. Vernon set
off early on one of these visits to the
settlement; but when the sun set, and
the brief twilight settled into night, Clara
itoas Still alone. She was neither timid
noir apprehensive, yet she listened eager
ly for he'r father’s footsteps, or stood
before the little square window, her
hand shading her eyes from the firelight,
looking forth into the starry night; but
listened artil looked in vain.
Slipper waited; the dtftall table was
neatly spread, the fragraut tea babbled
on the hearth, the feteakS were
ready, the light Shdrtcuke in the grand
old bakepan >Vas brdwnirtg slightly,
and still Clara Watted for her father,
and waited in Vairi.
At last she was obliged to confess to
herself a feeling of uoeasiness. The
night; clear and still, was severely cold
and without the light of the moon. Her
father might have been belated and lost
his way . and if so, it must be exceed
ingly dimciilt to find in the darkneftS,
with the road deeply buried in uutrack
ed snow, Over whose crusted service he
walked upon snowshoes.
She took down the diurter horn froni
where it depended by a string from a
nail dii the Ortd of the dresser, and going
without, blew it loud and shrill full a
dozto tiifleS; harkening after each blast
till the e'dhdes died away to the Silr
rounding forest, but it called forth no
response of a human voice. Once, in
deed she thought she heard a call, but
a few moments’ listening convinced her
that it vVas ortly the distant baling of a
wild beast—a sdUnd hot Ho Unusual id
that neighborhood as to ekefte aiariri.
The unwonted noise breaking in upon
the stillness had awakened her babe,
and Mrs. Sydney re entered the houSw
in haste to still its wild crying. The
little breature seemed thoroughly frigh.
tened; and fur the next half hour she
carried it in her arms to and fro through
tbtj room, trying ineffectually to still its
'crying. At last) when both were near
ly exhausted, the mother thFew herself
upon the bed, her infant still clasped to
Her breast; where it shortly grew quiet
and tfett asleep.
Clara was not deeply alarmed con
cerning her father; hfi Wits no novice
in forest adventure, had hunted and
camped dfit, doubtleSS; oii many a win
try night like this. Mr. Vernon never
went dtit without his gun and plenty of
iimfntiHitian, and that dfiy he bdrried
with him a small, sharp hatchet, slung
at his belt behind. He bad thus the
means of building a fire and of defend
ing himself against wild beasts. As to
other dangei s peculiar to the period,
she considered them lightly as she had
ever done;
The tall clock at tb*e head of the bed
struck eleven while she lay there medi
tating. It (5001 and rlOt have been long
after this, that she fell into a state be.
tween waking and sleeping —such a
state as most persons, perhaps, experi
ence man}' times in their life, in which
the mind retains more or less conscious
ness of outward things, thoiigh the bod
ily faculties seem bound as in fetterS
of iron.
Her first sensation was of suffering
from cold, which grew more and more
intense every moment. She believed
the tire had burnt out, and wished to
arise and replenish it, but felt that it
was beyond her power. They were ly
ing on the outside of the bed, but she
was glad to remember having drawn
the coverlid snugly over her babe.
In this state of helpless conscious
ness, suddenly there came to her ear
the report of a musket, and immediately
following that a succession of the most
horrible sounds that ever rent the mid
night air, sending dismay to a human
heart—the desperate shouting of a man,
mingling with a fierce yelping of wolves,
closing in upon their prey in determin
ed and irresistible attack.
The interrogation flashed across Clar
a’s mind, was not this purely imaginary,
the effect of the nightmare state that
was sensibly upon her ? But the next
moment she had sprung to her feet and
was standing beside the bed. The
sounds which might have paralyzed her
waking senses, had broken the spell
which bo'und her, while at the same
time they filled her with unutterable
horror
All was silent that instant; not at
sound, near or far, could the closest lis
tener have But the outer
door, opening directly into . the room
where she was, stood ajar, and glancing
'vtildly about the apartment, Clara
thought she conld distinguish by the
feeble' ligh t of the coals Upon the hoaftb,
dark, human shaped shadows shrinking
away into corners. The moon had ris
en, and the sheeted snow spread ghast
ly beneath tbe midnight heaven.
While thus she stood, staring with
suspended breath and almost pulseless
heart, the same horrible intermingling
of voices, brute and human, rose again
in the air and sent through her veins an
icier chill than that of the bitter night
wind sweeping in at the open door.
Forgetting all, herself, her infant—
everything save her lather perishing,
overpowered by those demon brutes,
Clara caught down a loaded musket
from its place against the wall, and
rushed out into the ghastly moonlight.
There she stopped ; what could she
do ? The sounds proceeded from the
woods —they were dying out—present
ly had ceased altogether. Well knfew
the horror-struck woman those raven
ous beasts were slaking their thirst with
a victim’s blood ! A nearer sound at
tracted her. Opposite, three wolves
were running hkafee southward ovej; the
snow. She raised her gun and fired.
One of the red-tongued monsters fell dead,
Ah H there galloped forward tbe more 1
madly, eager to share in the banquet of
their fellows.
Should she re-enter the house? Yes,
the mother’s instinct was strong in her
bOSdffi. Layihg down her Weftphn ah
useless, Clara crept within aDd straight
to the fireplace, Where she kindled a
blaze, in the expectation every instant
of feeling tbe clutch of a savage in her
hair. But when the blaze suddenly il
lumined the apartment, it was seen to
contain no enemy—no being beside her
self and child. In hastening to her
babe after sounding the horn, she prob
ably neglected fastening the door prop
erly, ana the risen wind bad blown it
open.
Morning carte, and after hours of
snch terrible anguish of mind as no
words can describe. At sunrise Clara
went fdrth, half born up by the snow,
half sinking into its frozen depths, to
seek for any traces of the midnight
tragedy, which had robbed her of her
last protector. Her sad mission wah
only too successful. Near the edge of
the woods, within sight of his home,
appeared the revolting evidences of the
combat in which Mr. Vernon, after a
brave defence, had yielded up his life.
The trampled snow was stained with
the blood of man and beast. Three
wolves lay dead within a circuit of a
few yards—one beneath the butt of the
well known musket, which had broken
in twain in dealing its fatal blow.—
A pair of snow-shoes lay beside it.—
A fragment of skull, a thigh and
ankle bone were all that remained of
her father. In gathering these together,
Clara discovered the torn fragment of a
letteSf 1 to herself in her husband’s hand
writing. The collected remains she
bore sacredly back with her to the des
olate dwelling, and buried them in the
snow finder the front window.
Oh, the days that then dragged them
selves past. There was no lack of the
fiefcessarics of life at hand to sustain
them till spring; but Clara could not
bear tbe loneliness and the dreadful rec
ollection that oppressed her, and felt at
times she was going mad. Site would
have been glad 6f the sight of a red-*
coat or an Indian, so he did but bear
the human form, so separated did she
seem from all her species. A little rain
had fallen (tnd jfrozen, mating a stiff
crust on the snow quite strong enough
to bear her weight; she contemplated
the hazardous undertaking of Walking
to the settlement; Bud Only the thought
of exposing her infant to thfi perils of
Such a journey had deterred her so long
On the fifth day after the tragedy,
towards nightfall, Clarh Sydney sat by
the hearth, leaning her pale face on her
hand. The babo lay sleeping on her
lap. Suddenly the" door opened and
her father stood before her. She star
ted, then sank back in her chair shud
dering, fully believing the appearance
supernatural. Mr. Vernon, on his part,
was so struck by his daughter’s strange
aspect, that he could not immediately
speak.
When he did speak, and Clara heard
her fathor’s own voice, and felt bis hand
laid in the old kiudly way on her head,
she burst into tears—tbe first which had
relieved her heart through all its dire
agony.
The facts were these: On the day
that Mr. Vernon went to the settlement,
a man had been arrested, and was to be
triend Jor the commission of a crime ; the
reputation of the pioneer for upright
ness and sagacity, occasioned his sum
mons to act as foreman of the jury. He
immediately procured a person to go
honfl? in bis place, inform his daughter
what had happened, and there await his
return, intrusting to the person Clara’s
letter frorii hgf HilSbfirid; find also len
ding him his own musket. From signs
that afterward appeared, it was sup
posed the man wandered out of his* way
and as night came on built a fire; which,
after the mortn rose, he incautiously left,
and, endeavoring to make his way on to
the house, met the terrible fate describ
ed.
Alfred Sydney, when peace was at
last declared, returned in safety to his
happy, waiting wife. Their first born
Son, the unconscious infant of its moth
er’s care ddririg the pefidd of her
mournful despair, was a hero in the
war of 1812, and rose to a high rank.
Several of their descendants did good
service for thelf country in the recent
civil struggle.
Tunneling Under the- Sea.-—A
scheme has been proposed for uniting
Ireland and Scotland, so as to do away
with the necessity of making a sea pas
sage altogether 1 . (fbe entrance to the
railway tunnel, by which it is to be ac
complished, on the Irish side, is to be
from a point about midday between
Uusbeftden and Cushenhall, on the coast
of Antrim, and on’ (He Scotch rdds tft
Glenstrone, from whence it vVb’uld run’
through the head of the Mull of Con
tyre. The tofft! length of tunnel under
water would bo thirteen miles three
furlongs, and it is said that the ground
through which it would have to be made
is exactly suited for tunneling opera
tions, aud the sandstone for lining it
can be had in any quantity on tho Irish
side. It. is proposed to construct the
tuQnel for a single line only, the ex
treme depth being twenty one feet and
the clear width at the level of the rails
to accommodate wide and narrow-gauge
carriages.

CUTHBERT, GEORGIA, THURSDAY,!JANUARY 13, J87G.
Walter Scott at Work
Even when his eyes were failing, atrd
his fingers gouty, Walter Scott frequent
ly threw off thirty or forty pages of
print before dinner—that, in fact, was
bis task when he wife NvdFk upon
‘Woodstock’ and the ‘Life of Napoleoo;’
and till be had accomplished that, he
did not think himself ; &t liberty to take
his axe and stroll otft into the wood for
an hour’s fehaTp. exercise. In his prime
he thought nothing of throwing off a
novel jn a month. ‘Guy Mannering’
was written in six weeks about Christ
mas, and that he thought easy work.—
Very frequently, hoWeVer, Sir Walter
had a brace of novels on hand together,
or a novel and a poem, or two or
ttfrefe TevTews lor the Edinburgh and
tbe (Quarterly. ‘lVanhoe’ and the‘Mon
astery’ were written together like this ;
and he took up the story of ‘.Wood
stock’ as a diversion to kill time when
he vvAs ahead of tbe press with his ‘Life
of Napoleon.’ Hasty work in literature
is not generally the highest kind of
work ; and of course there is in all Sir
Walter Scott’s works much that Is thin,
and rartbling, and vapid. But with
Sir Walter Scott literature Was not an
art, but a trade. Wbat was good
enough for the public* was good enough
for him; and bis cardinal test of the
value of his work Was the price of its
copyright and its sale. In poetry, he
wrote by inspiration ; takiug up his pen,
like Byron, only when the fit was upon
him; bat when at work upon a novel
or a history, all ho thought of was to
get through his task ; and if he was not
to the vein when be took up bis pen, tfe
simply wrote on, as he said, till he
‘wrote himself into good-humor.’ This
was not generally a very hard task;
and when be had got into a good-humor
with his work, he wrote on as freely
and as gaily as he talked. His manu
scripts testify sufficienly to this. In his
poems you meet with stanzas that are
hardly legible with blots and interlinea
tions ; but the manuscripts of his nov
els are as free from every thing of this
description as his correspondence.—
You may turn over page aftei* pagfe
without finding a single coitectiott. He
never bdgglfid ‘dVet fi Sfihfcence, or cast
about for an expression. ‘His thoughts,’
as bis nmanuesis said, ‘flo&ed easily and
felicitously, without any difficulty to
lay bold of them, or lo find appropriate
language. Ho sat in his fihair (when
dictating,) from which he rose now and
then, took a volume from the book-case,
consulted it, and restored it td the shelf
—all without intermission in tbe cur
rent of ideas, which continued to be de.
livered with no less readiness than if
his mind had been wholly occupied with
the werds he was uttering/ When a di
alogue of peculiar animation was in
progress, James Ballantyne says Scott
walked up and down the room, raising
the parts The file-work Scott left to
the printer; and of several of his sto
ries he did not oven see tbe proofs till
they were in the hands of the public.—
With the exception of the ‘Lay/1 doubt
whether he ever read any of his poems
after they were published. He liked
that better than be anticipated ; but I
do not tbink the perusal increased his
opinion of the critical discernment of
the public He was ‘never fond of bis
own poetry ;’ and when Ballantine told
him that the ‘Lord of the Isle’ and
‘Rokeby’ were paling in the glare and
glitter t)Sf ‘Chiltio Harold’ and the ‘Gia
our,’ he abandoned tbs laurel wreath to
Byron without a struggle, and almost
without a sigh. ‘Since one line bas fail
ed,’ be said, ‘we must strike out some
thing etafe/
This was the §pdr iifldfii &bich he
took up the abandoned manuscript of
‘Waverly,’ which had been lying among
the fishing-tackle of an old drawer for
seven or eight years-, and threw off the
second and third volumes itl three
weeks. When, in tiirif, the fibkela tis
the ‘Author bf Waverly’ ’ began td pall
upon a taste which likes its fiction fresh
and fresh, Scott left tile field to bis imi
tators, acd ttlrned to history. l There is
but one way,’ be said, ‘if you wish to be
read —you must strike out something
novel to suit the hurrtor of the hour ;’
and that was the principle by which he
was governed all through his career.
It was not a very lofty principle to act
upon ; with weaker man it might have
been a dangerous principle, ending, as
in the case of Byron, in the complete de
moralization of his genius. In Scott;
however, it led to nothing morn than a
variation of style. The most volumi
nous author of an age not particularly
distinguished by tbe parity of its litera
ture or tfiofaL; the contempordty of By
ron and Moore, and the personal friend
of George IV., an author; too; who
atoWedly set His Sails to catch the pop
ular breeze, Sir Walter Scott never al
lowed his genius to pollute itself by any
thing that, as a man, he could blfish
for. Talking over his writings at the
close of his career with a friend, and
contrasting their tone with that of Goe
the's; Sir Walter said; with a flush of
pride : ‘!t is a comfort to me to think
that I have tried to unsettle no man’s
faith, to corrupt no man’s principle, and
that 1 have written nothing which on
my death-bed I should wish blotted.’
And his boaßt was true.
tVhaly’s wife one day
chanced to find an elegant piece of white
leather on the road, and she brought it

Jack’s small clothes, which she did very
neatly. Jack set off the next day, lit
tle expecting what was in store for him ;
but when he had trotted about five miles
—it was in the month of July—he be*-
gap to feel mighty uneasy in the saddle
—a feeling that continued to increase
at every moment, till At last, he said ‘it

A Pig. —We were felicitating ourself

How to Core a Cold. —One method
of getting rid of a cold In the head, ac
cording to Good Health, although troub
lesome, is sometimes very successful.—
It consists in abstaining as much as pos
sible from drinking any liquids. By
this means tbe supply of fluid to tbe
bk>qd which goes to keep up tbe dis
charge froffi the fiostriTs, »s Cffil off, and
with it the discharge itself. In this way
a bad cold in tbe bead may some
times be cured in a single day. An
equable temperature also conduces to
recovery. It is always desirable in
winter to remain a lew dayk Altogether
.vithin doors, and to keep one’fc Apart
ment at a constant heat of about sixty
five degrees, This gradu>
ally induces the skin to perspire, by
which its sympathetic friend, the nfaees
membrane, which has been trying, how
ever imperfectly, to do the work of its
neighbor in discharging the secretions
Os 1116 systeifi, is relieved from its efforts.
Sometimes, and especially at the very
commencvouenVof a cold, a farced mo
tion of the skin, by which it is made to
sweat profusely, succeeds. This may
be effected by internal mediciues, aided
by hot drinks, while the body is well
covered with bed clothes. But a far
more effectual sudorific is presented to
the Turkish batbs., The cold douches
should be dispensed with, and tepid #a
ter used instead, as it is desirable that
the pores should remain relaxed. A
cold douche would clOSa them.

The diet is then very plain, being crack

desires to get in order quickly for a cer

made for the purpose. It consists of a
hood which covers tbe face and ex
cludes tbe air, with glasses to permit
tbe use of tbe eyes. To this add a
jacket heavily padded and pants of a
similar character (in some cases eight
folds in thickness,) and fastened at the
ankles with elastics. In these the vic

Work and Wait —There are two
things that always pay, even in this
not over-reitiutterative existence. They
are working and waiting. Either is
useless without the other. Both united
are invincible and inevitably triurnpbahk
He who waits without working is sim.

He who works without waiting is fitful

and waits patiently may have a long
journey before him. but at its close he
will find his reward.
