which the writer would have it appear that
our mliclv, published in aneighboring paper
relative to the sun, moon, and planet Venus
bring seen at nncc in the day time, was
nothing very strange after all, and goes only
to give a scientific exposition of his own
ideas of the movements of the heavenly
bodies, closing up with what he would
fuiu have had renders believe was a “ stun.
nor" on us. After allpur kind rcgouls pub-
licly expressed in his behalf, this little act
forcibly reminds us of the striking simili-
tudc bctween the cdttor and u donkey, who
looks tumoly innoccnt, carries a kindly eye,
and behaves in a manner to induce confl-
dcnce in him, but the moment one attempts
to approach or embrace, allows them to get
just near enough to enable hint to’udminis—
tcr a kick in payment for their kindness.

When we started out of New York hur-

ant voyage. The steamer “ Charleston“ isu

company—clerical and ~otherwise-ave ex-
pected to be merry enough to sing, “ Oh for
a life on the occtn wave" the whole jour-
ney. But ‘tis not in mortals ‘to command
success, and the wind—true to .its clmrnc:
fer—changed, and we soon had coold blast
which bronghtn foot of ice on the deck,
then a bend wind for twenty-four hours. At
once the old son god demanded a full bow
of ncknqwledgment, till finally, with can-
vass down and wet deck. we ateomed, con—
siderably crest-fallen, into Charleston bar-
bar.
We got in about five in the ming,.nnd
mt half-past. six o'clock we walked out on
decktotrytmd get a firnt glimpse of the
Sunny South, of which we had dreamed a
little and heard so much. The gloom of
night still hung pnrtinlly on, the heavens,
the grey and black masses floated together
in the other; and just where they were sep-
nrated orange tinted clouds began to show
themselves, and in a little we found these
were the heralds of the great Fire King,
.who was to give us a veiledvinw‘ of himself
before he’passed on bisrestlcse journey. We
stood right roynlly bewfldered' and ‘en-
tranced, astheflnst are of the circle was
lifted from itsbriny bub. One of the par
cougars started suddenly, and, as “limited

when the tire occurred ; and were told, “ In

then said to ourselves—“not to the captain—
“VVhy,therc is hardly a Yankee in all Yankee-
dom who would not. have pulled down those
bricks, drcssed them, and, if he could do
no hing else, peddled them, and with the
money sold roasted peanuts enough to retire
from business."
01' course there are some redeeming fea-
tures. In some parts of the city there are
wide, pleasant streets, with fine shade trees
and good side walks ; than on the shore
there is u very wide, pleasant road, made of
shells thrown up frotn the rivers—extending
on two sides of the city—walled the Battcrv,
which was the fashionable promenade for
citizens a few years ago, but seems of late to
have lost some of its prestige. But. for our-
selves, with whatever of beauty it may have,
if we were looking for a place of rusidcncc
we should not locnte ourselves in this some-
what famous city of the South.
The impression we received in Charleston,
of the slowness and inactivtty of the South,
was not rcmovcd'by ltjotlrncy more into the
interior. “When we began our rule on the
cars we thought. We were going slowly to
allow some train to pass, or perhaps we were
out of fuel; but as we kept the same pace for
nine hours we suppose they usually travel
so. When we got to the first station we
really fancied it was a stopping place like
Stamford, and expected a darkey to call out,
“ ten minutes for refreshments ;“ but we
found, as we went. along, the stations were
all Stamfords, and that the one and some-
times two pnssengem who got in were deem—
ed of sufficient Importance to limp us nil
thcrc so long. All along the line appeared

the cars but two or three log huts, and a few
The towns that were pretentious
enough to lmvc :1 name were all exactly of
one puttcrn: Unc slurc, with :1 pointed board
on, saying, “Dry Goods and Groceries," and
here and their one of the slruttcm closed. and
an inscription in chalk, saying, “ Bananas
and Onions ;“ scvcml small cottngcs; n fcw
log huts; and four or five mulcs standing
hitched ln'u rail near the storc. Then, on
thc platform. a cluster of (lul’kics, who look-
ed at our cars us longingly as if they thought
“'c should reach the millcnium at tlw cud of
our trip. This was repeated all lllt‘ way
tilt)“; the line of u journey ncurly a day in
length. Even nnture here sccms to have
grown monotonous, fol tllcrc urc miles and
mill-s of pine woods on either hltl" of the
cars without change. Btill, in some places
thcv are very beautiful; the pines are so
lull, straight. and refreshingly grccn, and us
you pass slowly along they look likt‘ innu‘
mcrablc min iuturc nvcuucs,with'gothic arches
and hanging drapery. The various kinds of
uiosscs, too, look soft, green and con], and
in the summer must. invite repose,
At thc end of ourjourncy our friends told
us we “ hurl not passed through the host of
the country." Assurcdly we trust wc luld
not, or clsc. when wc have hcmd of thc pov-
crty of the South, the half has not born tnld.
Of course it is not immcnsc wealth that
makes any country truly great and blcsscd;
and if in the North we had :1 little less of
the unholy basic to be rich,u little less suc-
riticc of the brains and hearts of our best
men at the shrine of wealth, it would be fur
better; but certainly here as elsewhere the
middle path would be very desirable.
The future of the South is great and glori-
ous, It is a country teeming with resources.
The woods are full of quadrupcd and wing-
ed life; most of the rivers abound with fish;
and the soil is wonderfully productive of
nature's most delicious stores, its well as
more useful articles of commerce. “'c have
talked with scvrrul who have lost Ilargely
during the u ur, and of course feelings of in«
action and despair greatly prevail, but when
the next generation fcomes, when hope uud
industry are revived. revived by the swim.
of their own brow and brain and not bought
on the brow of another. then the South will
arise and be a great and glorious country.
At present, for very ‘bbvious reasons, the
work of teaching and helping the colored
people must belong greatly tp,‘ the North;
and those of ,us who stay at home can form
no idea of the wretched condition of these
people here. We can wisely spend a por-
tion of ourhflstmgms' -1n,.tllis field, for it
is greatly needed, and, we think also it am
be well repaid in the years to come. Do let.
us be sure and accomplish well the work
God has committed to our trust. . _
But to return to our journey. We gt last
reached the village of Aiken. . It nestles
pleasantly among the pines, and has 3.,ch
clean, attractive appearance. Its sandy. soil,
and pure, soft air, impregnated with pine
odor, are said to be very beneficial for pin];
monary and bronchial diseases, and find; ,
northern invalids have made it' dpltfcedf

" Highland Park," and has the reputation
for being bigh‘in‘yprice, but its table bounti-t
fully spread."-‘ '/ ‘ ' 7
Here, as elsewhere, perfect stillne’ssreigns,
scarcely a leaf is stirred‘ " , and the tops of the
pines look as if they were photographed
against the sky. This is perhaps mot-eno-
