W e have heretofore briefly mentioned tho death of this well-known and useful Divine The Charleston Courier gives the following parti culm- of hi death and a short sketch of his life : "He died in the town of Greenville, In, this Mate, on Monday last, the people of that place evincing every respect for the memory or one who b id so universnllv e 1 nl eared himself to the people of Somh Carolina as Dr. Manly, by bis winniuc and cminont traits of character and .prac tical usefulness from early manhood among 1 hcni, bad done. Dr. Manly died of pneumonia, but for some time past had suffered from paraly- ak, Olid otherwise from that impaired and declining health usually attendant upOn advanced years, lie was born in North Carolina, in 1798, and at the time ot hi demise was in the 71t year ot his age. f le entered the ministry at an early age and soon proved himself to be as distin guished in the fields of secular acquire- menis, as no was protouna iu Iheoloetcal I t a. a .a Dr. M a nl v was a men of great depth f T piety, but withal was so very ami-ibto in disposition and approachable to every one, that even the young and guy sought companionship and counsel. his 1 Ue accepted the pastoral charge of tbe First Baptist Church, in this place, in 1826, filling that positiou very acceptably and efficiently till 1 837, a period of tde van years. Dr. Manly was then called to the Presidency of the University of Alabama, and for a length of time served thai seat of learning with a seal and an abil i t y that added greatly to its already distinguished usefulness a id high tone.

Thus has lived and passed from his great usefulness and tho church militant here, to tlin church triumphant in Heaven, the Rev. Basil Manly, D.

A yonng mm in busine must ae knowledgo one mathematical hut, He knows by experience about how many hours of sleep, he need to be as fresh oue day as on tho previous day. He mast acknowledge the fact that he can not set tiji late and rise eurlyiftnd get thi amount of 'sTcep7"'Tliere''is',a' right main? cmalical obstacle to the accomplishment of snch a fact. It he needs seven hours sleep as many young men dor-or eight hours, as more young men do - he can not get them between 1 o'clock A. M. and 7 o'clock A. M. If he insists on late hours, he must neglect either his sleep at ono from tevcn and leaving eight. The question) is whether or not he appreciates this impofsibiltu in the eve iing when be is called upon to decide between " inl. ly g od time" and his bed. One verv frt nu- ent mistake is that lost sleep can be "made up." In the first place, whatever a young man may intend to do. he verv aeblom acctually tries to 4 make up ' for lost sleep. If he needs eieht honra' and gets bnt five, lie 'usually makes up the lost three by sleeping about one hour longer than usual the next niht. n. periwps he depend on Sunday on bal ancing the whole week, LmmmmmmV " hoars' extra sleep, "makes up ror ten honr lost. In tbe second place, one hour of regular sleep is w.mh, for purposes of recuperation, at least two hours of "make up" plumber. There is practically no such thing as "inakine un lost sleep. w w a a A Beactifvl Pkntiuent: SbortU before the departure of the lamented He- nber for India, he preached a sermon which contained this beaut it'll illustration: 'Life bears us on like the stream nf mighty river. Our boat first glides down the mighty channel through the playful- mnriuuriiigs of the little brook an 1 Ipc windings of its grassy borders. The trees shed their blossoms over oar young heads ; the flowers seem to offer themselves to the yonng hands ; we are happy iu hope, and grasp eagerly at the beauties around us; hut the stream hurries on, and Still onr hands are empty. Our course iu youth and manhood is along a deeper aud wider flood, among objects more striking and magnificent.
