The Pine Tree. t stands where Nature's pulses freeze Beneath the Polar eye, And hangs h drooping banners out 'Neath India'9 burning sky. From North to South, from East to West, Where'er the sun may shine, It lifts and waves its lordly creat The all enduring Pine. i In regions wildest and unknown, Beside the restless sea, It breathes its deep and mellow tone Through Nature's minstrelsy; 'Tis heard upon the mountain's breast, And by the river's line, And 'raid the buy haunts of man, The melancholy iue. Its balmy breath is on the air, Amid the fore9t gloom, The early winds of morning bear It? delicate perfume; Its dewy odor fills the sense At evening's slow decline, Ar.d night's soft pinions linger still Around the fragrant Pine. I love it it hath been to me, An old familiar frjend, And broadly o'er my native land Its waving branches bend; And widely through its hallowed soil Its rugged roots entwine, And wreath with every thought of home The well remembered Pine. I love it for its music breathes O'er many a hallowed spot Where lie the loved and lowly dead, Who may not be forgot; And wheu I seek their holy rest, Oh ! may this heart recline, My Southern Home, upon thy breast, Beneath the mourning Pine. Stephen Oirard. A recent number of the Household Words contains a sketch of Stephen Girard. It is not correct in all particulars, and yet it em bodies many interesting facts, in the history of the celebrated banker. After giving th leading events in the early life of Girard, the writer proceeds as follows : In 1812 Stephen Girard, the one eyed cabin boy of Bordeaux, purchased the banking premises of the old Bank of the United States (whose charter was not renewed) and started the Girard Bank, a large private establish ment, which not only conferred advantages on the community greater than the State institu tion upon which it was founded, but, while the public credit was skaken, and the Gov erument finances were exhausted by war, the Girard Bank could command large subscrip uons of loan, and put itself in the position ol i he principal creditor of the country. In 1814 Giraid subscribed the whole of a large Government loan from patriotic motives, and in 1817 he contributed by his unshaken credit and undiminished fuuds to bring about the resumption of specie payments. In 1 83 1 his operations were so extensive that when the country was placed in extreme embar rassment from the scarcity of money by rea son of the balance of trade being againt it; he was enabled, by a single transaction with an eminent English firm, to turn the ex changes and cause specie to flow into the States. " p ., To add to his singular and deficient char acter, he was deaf iu one ear, could only speak broken English, never conversed upon anything but business, and wore the same old Coat, cut iu the French style, foT five years together. An old rickety chair, remarkable for its asre, land marked with the initials "S. G ," drawn by a faded horse, was used when he rode about the city. He had no sense of hospitality, no friend to share his house or his table. lie was deferential in appearance to rank and famdy; violent aud passionate only to; one man an old and faithful clerk named Hobergot. His theologi ral opinions were heterodox in the extreme, and he loved to name his splendid vessels after Voltage and Rousseau. He was de voted to the improvement of his adopted city and country; he was a determined follower of ostentatious charity. No man ever applied to him for a large public grant in vaia, while the starving beggar was invariably sent fioro his gate. He steadily rose every morn ing before the lark, and unceasing labor was ihe daily worship of his life. Stephen Girard began his remarkable trad ing career with one object, which he steadily kept in view al! his long life the making of money' for the power it conferred. He was content, at starting, with the small profits of the retail trader, willing to labor in any capa city to make these profits secure. He prac ticed the most rigid personal economy; he resisted all the allurements of pleasure; be exacted the last fartbing that wai due him, and be paid ih laal farthing that he owed. MIi8: COUNTY, N. V. lie took every advantage the law allowed him in resisting a claim; he used men just so far as they would accomplish his purpose; he paid his servants no more than the market price; when a faithful cashier died, he ex hibited the utmost indifference, making no provision for his family, and uttering no senti ment of regret for his loss. He would hig gle for a penny with a huckster in the streets; be would deny the watchman at bis bank the customary Christmas present of a great coat. Thui he attained his eighty second year. In 1830, he had nearly lost the sight of his one eye, and used to be seen groping about his bank, disregarding every offer of assis tance. Crossing one of the Philadelphia road", be 'a knocked down by a passing wagon, his face wajs bruised, and his right ear was nearly cut off. His one eye, which before opened slightly, was now entirely closed; he gradually wasted away, and his health declined. On the ,twenty-sixth of December, Stephen Girard expired in a back room, ou the third floor of his house, iif Water street, Philadelphia, leaving the bulk ot his large fortune, upwards of a million sterling, to found charities, and to benefit the city and the country in which, he had ac quired it. He left this monument in the "Girard Col lege," that marble roofed palace fur the edu cation and protection of the orphan children of the poor, which stands, the most perfect model of architecture in the New World, high above the buildings of Philadelphia, visible from every eminence of the surround ing country. Every detail of the external and internal arrangement of this Orphan College was set forth clearly and carefully in his will; showing that the design upon which he had lavished the mass of his wealth was not the hastily developed fancy of a few hours or days, but was the heart cherished, silent project of his whole life. Murder or tlie Sheriff o I Campbell County and an Assisting officer by Coun terfeiters. Just on going to press, we learn the particu lars of an outrageous murder by counterfeit ers in Cam bell county.-. From two sources we have the full particulars, which are be yond all doubt. One letter from Jacksboro', to a gentleman in Kuox-ville, says: We had an awful occurrence here to day, in the mountain, four miles north of this. A man by the name of Turner, of Anderson county, and another nmed Lewis stayed at Laban Sharp's last night, and offered him a $20 counterfeit H amburg bill. Sharp said he could not change it, but would go to town with them. After; they got into town, they paid their bill and left; and Sharp got the Sheriff, S. D. Queener, and Travis Gibson, and pursued them, yhen they got up with them Queener put bis band on Turner, and said he arrested him. Turner pulled out his pistol and wounded Queener. They both jumped off their horses, and Queener knock ed him down and held him until he saw Lewis stab Gibson, causing immediate death. Queener ran up, and was also stabbed in the neck, above the collar bone, and in the shoul der, and fell. (He has since expired.) Sharp about this time came up; and Lewis and Turner broke and ran. The postmaster of Jacksboro,' has instantly dispatched intelligence of the affair; and as the assassins are supposed to have made for some point on the railroad it may be hoped they will be arrested. This occurrence gives additional assurance of the existence of a band of counterfeiters in that region, and the citizens cannot be too vigilant. Kuoxville Citizen. Johx Chinaman's Ice. A newly arrived John Chinaman, in Shasta, California, pur chased some ice recently, and finding it very wet, laid it out to dry in the sun. On going to look for it again he found that it had dis appeared, and forthwith accused the whole Chinese neighborhood with larceny. A gen- eral riot was tbe consequence. . Unfortunate Accident. We learn that on Tuesday the 3d instant, about 1 o'clock, I A. M., the Stage from Charlotte to Asheville ; was upset near Shelby, and a man named John Campbell, formerly of Asheville, who was on the box witb the driver, was instantly killed. Tbe driver was arrested and lodged in jail on a charge of murder; hut we learn that whiskey was the cause of tbe unfortunate .jiffair.i Hulherford Enquirer. Elegant Epitaph. The attention of bach elors is respectfully invited to the following : Here lies a man who looked so high, He passed all common damsels by; And they who looked as high as he, Declared his bride they would not be; Bo, 'twixt thera both he died a batch, And cot his gone to tbe Old Scratch. WHOLE No. 474. Wild Cats, A gentleman, having in his possession ten or twelve hundred dollars on a certain bank ing institution away out West, went up to the counter, one fine morning, and addressed the teller in the fallowing language: "Good morning, wir. Beautiful weather, sir! Ahem! 1 have Something over a thousand dollars' worth of your money in my pocket. Do you redeem ?" The teller says : Good morning, sir smiles blandly, and answers, 'we redeem, sir, but we do not pay specie. j 'Do not pay specie, hey ? Suspended , I suppose!?' Suspended.' What do you redeem with V was tbe next question. . . 'With bills on the other banks,' replied the clerk, pleasantly, 'And those, I presume, are also non specie paying banks ?' : I ;. 'Very probably they are, sir,' bowing very politely. :r 'Well, then, what kind of bills can you give me?' 'Most any kind, sir. Give you Red Cat V j 'Can't stand it.' i 4 Weil, then, how's Grav Cat?' 'Taiu't worth a cuss I' 'Well, Til try and accomodate you witb White Cat.' I - 'It wouldn't be any accommodation at all. I don't want your infernal Wild Cat mone) neither Red Cat, Gray Cat, Black Cat, White Cat or Tom Cat. I wouldn't use it to litter a horse with. Haven't you got some money on Eastern Banks ?' 'No, sir,' softly and very polite. 'Eastern Banks are principally specie paying institu tions.' 'If not Eastern, then, have you bills on any other banks that do pay specie?' 'No, sir,' bowing most courteously. 'Well, then,' drawing his package from his pocket w;ith a desperate expression of coun tenance, 'can you give me tolerably executed counterfeit bills on any bank that does pay specie ' 'No, sir !? very loud, and looks as if he felt insulted. 4 , . i j A People Without Teeth. Dr. Living ston's Travels in Africa, recently republished from the English edition, by Harpers, is con sidered one of the most valuable books of modern times. Arnoner curious and amusinsr things in it is the -following apcount of a strange deformity existing in a tribe of negroes in the sun roasted country he had explored. Every man, woman and child connected with the tribe are without front teeth. Inquiring into the cause of this unnatural appearance it was given to him thus : "Once upon a time, the chief of Jthe tribe, like many better men in civilized countries, was possessed of a refractory wife. He endur ed her imprudence and annoyance for many jears, but one day in his passion, becoming suddenly aroused, he gave her what is term ed in civilized parlance a "plug" in the mouth w.ith his fist. The blow must have been well aimed, for it relieved the mouth of the proud woman of all her front teeth. Thus despoiled of beauty the sable matron hid herself ip shame and afterwards became a tractable and obe dieut wife. The warriors of the tribe in coun oil assembled, observed the good results of that one blow of the chief and being troubled generally, with disobedient wives resolved at once to follow his pugilistic example. Each repaired to his home; and rested not content ed until Itheir wives were forcibly relieved of their front teeth. k l. - - - !" . .. A young lady who wore spectacles ex claimed in a voice of sentimental enthusiasm, to a young plowman who was walking along the road: "Do you sir, appreciate the beauty of that landscape ? Oh, aee those darling sheep and lambs." "Them's hogs, miss," was the steutorian reply. At the Fourth of Julv celebration held at Lexington the following toast was offered : "Hoops and Tight Pants the unqualified representatives of financial extremes. May the charms of the ladies be as bouodless as their skirts, ano! may the'gents never get as tight as their breeches." A New Zealand ehief maintained that he had a good title to his land, because he had eaten the former owner. Was there no law ver on hand to advise the poor victim that he had his writ of ejectment? An editor in Iowa has become so hollow from depending upon the printing business alone for bread, that he proposes to sell him self for stovepipe at three cents a foot They are eating ripe peaches at Mempbis, Tennessee, at 3 por buheh Good Tastb.

It should overcome the force v. ith wbich this world draws us to itself. Were there a country on earth tvniting nil that U beautiful in nature, all that is great fh virtue, genius and the liberal art?, and numbering amongf i.s citizens the most illustrious patriots, poets philanthropists of our age, how eagerly should we cross the ocean to viit ft ! And how immeasurably greater are the attractions of Heaven! There live the elder brethren- ofV creation, Ihe sons of the morning, who sang ' for joy at the creation of our race; there tfce " great and good of all ages and climes; the friends, benefactors, deliverers and ornaments of tbe race; the patriarch, prophet, apostle and martyr; the true heroes of public and still more of private life; tbe father, mother, wife, husband, ehild, who unrecorded by man, have walked before God in the beauty of love and self sacrificing virtue. There ar v all who have built up in onr hearts tbe powW of goodness and truth; the writers from whose pages we hare the inspiration of pure and lofty sentiments; tbe friends whose counten ances have shed light throogh our hearts.. There they are gathered together, safe from every storm, triumphant over evil; and they say to us, "Come join us in our everlasting blessedness; come and bear apart in our song .if rr? clium rni . 1 , . . r, .1 : .1-1 r progress and works of love." They say to us, "Cherish now in your earlv life that spirit and virtue of Christ which is the beginning and dawn of Heaven, and we shall soon wel come you with more than human frtodahip to our own immortality." Chamiing. The Dust and Hot Winds in India. Campaigning can only be conducted at an enormous cost. The hottest day that comeif let some one who is sincerely desirous of un- -derstancling what the dry winds of Iudia are like, repair to ah iroa foundry in full activity, and let him stand in front of the fire when the furnace-door is open; but unless he can add to it the odors procurable by standing over the grating of a Straud cook shop in the dog days, he will have but a poor idea of the nastiness of the blast, which, sweeping over- burning sandy plains covered with putrifying remains, whisks clouds of pulverized animal matter along with it, and rushes in dense yellow volumes all over the city and the plains -... arouna it. To the increasing heat there is added length of days, greater power to tbe wind, and, if possible, more dust. Of the latter it is quite beyond the powers of writing to give a description. It is so fino and subtle that long after the causes which raised it have ceased to exert their influence, you may see it like a veil of gauze between your eyes and every object. The sun, while yet six or seven degrees' above the horizon, is hid from sight by it, as though the luminary were enveloped in a thick fog, and at early morning, and evening this vapor of dust suspended high in air seems like a rain cloud clinging to a hill side. When this dust is set rapidly in mo tion by a hot wind,1 and when the grosser sand, composed of minute fragments of taic, scales of mica, and earth, is impelled in quick successive waves through the heated at mosphere, the effect is quite sufficient to make one detest India for ever. Every article in your tent, your hair, eyes and nose are filled and covered with dust, which de posits a coating half an inch thick all over the tent. W. II. Russell, in London Times. What is the World ? k dream within a dream as we grow older each step has an inward awakening. The youth awakes, as he thitiks, from childhood; the full grown, man despises the pursuits of youth as visionary; the old man looks on manhood as a feverish dream. " Is death the last sleep ? No it is the final awakening. Sir Walter Scott. Mrs. Partington' ox Uomhstead Exemp tion. ''Homestead exemption," exclaimed Ali s. Partington, throwing, down the paper, ''its' come to a pretty pass, indeed, that men are going to exempt themselves from home just when tbey please,, without any proviso for cold nights." Hoops. The Penobscot Indians aire how doing a smashing business in manufacturing hoops for ladies dresses out of basket stuff. The red ladies of the forest have also adopted tbe fashion in its greatest amplitude. Tit for Tat. Beunett, of the New York Herald, calls his opponents "tbin skinned." If they had been horse whipped as often as he probably their hides would have become aa thick as bis. Ssow ik Julv. The wife of George Snow in Arkansas, gave birth to three children last Monday week. We suppose this might be called a "small sprinkling" of snow. A chaplain at a State Prison was , asked by a friend how his parishioners were. "Ail under convictron," was the reply. Excess of ceremony shows a want of breed ing; that civility is the best which excludes all superfluous formality. New Ekglaxd Morality.
