FOR THE ERALD.
To Edgefield's Stella.
BY s. BBHCTELF SEBBOH.
Pure one-but, pardon, ere my hasty pen
Forget its tracings for my lovely kin,
And, stealing pulses from my hurried breast,
Forget its secret and unfold the rest.
But leaving self-my secret longings too
1 chant in verse what others think of you.
Angelic maid! most beav'nly of thy traiu!
Thy lips drop nectar in each vocal strain.
Of thee I sing, though others sung before
The charms that link thee with ten thousands
more.
Thy chisl'd featr'es, from the touch of God,
Transcend the crudeness of all meaner sod.
~But is this all? Dear votive truth replies
That Cupid aims his arrows through thine
eyes:
Love-rolling orbs! whose fatal light imparts
Unconscious heat to melt unconscious hearts.
Like Chryseis fair thy flowing tresses fold,
While silken eyebrows tend t' enrich the
whole.
Thus fashioned lovely from thy Maker's
thought,
To please who now think, and as others
ought.
Within thy breast, to animate thy frame,
And fire thy soul with an angelic flame,
He laid innate the fountain source of bliss
For wounded hearts in other States, and this.
And scorning Fashion, with her painted
charms,
He took your airy smoothness to his arms;
For, fearing lest the artist's skillful brush
Might leave some vein untaught to beauty's
blush.
Sat pleasing virtue on her potent throne
Within thy heaving breast (but not alone);
For all the Graces of this gentle queen
Are ever is thy acts and connt'nance seen
These handmaids swift from court their mis
sion haste,
Shoot thought-like through thy frame to
paint thy face.
Thus, nurtured one, thy rosy cheeks alone
Nurse fatal ire from virtue's constant throne.
The Gods have placed thee, and nurse thee
still,
And fates are held subsevient to thy will;
But when thy soul fades to Elysian shades
This heart will breathe no love to other
maids.
Newberry C. H., S. C., Jan. 19, 188.
Our Visit to Newberry.
A. B. Presbyterian.
In the absence of the pastor, Rev.
Mr. McClintock, it was our privilege,
on last Sabbath morning and evening,
to occupy his pulpit in the village of
Newberry. The attendanee was not
large, but encouraging. To us, at
least, the occasion was one of consid
erable interest. The church building,
a neat and substantial one, is eligibly
situated. Its dimensions are not very
imposing, but sufficient, we presume,
to accommodate some two hundred
and fifty, or three hundred persons.
We were pleased so learn that there is
quite a hopeful spirit among the mem
bers, and that the labors of their pas
tor are highly appreciated, as they de
serve to be. It is expected that the
church will soon be in a position to
apply for the whole of a minister's
time.
During our visit, we were very hos
pitably entertained at the residence of
Mr. J. N. Martin, a prominent mera
her of the church. No trouble was
spared to make us perfectly comfor
table. Every thing about Mr. M. is
on a large scale-a large house, largo
rooms, large beds, and an une
monly large heart ! We take this
opportunity to extend to him and
Mrs. M. our sincere thanks for their
unaffected hospitality, which~we shall
not soon forget.
During this occasion, we had the
pleasure of meeting Rev. Mr. Broad
dus, pastor of the Baptist church,
who referred very kindly to Drs. Bon
ner, Lindsay, and Grier. He is a
native of Virginia, and a relative, we
believe, of the Rev. Dr. Broaddus, so
favorably known to our people. We
were also most agreeably surprised
by a call from the Rev. Thomas C.
Ligon, of the Presbyterian church, a
graduate of Erskine College, in the
class of 1861, which numbered some
thirty-four. In consequence of the
war, the exercises of the College were
suspended before these young men
had quite completed the curriculum;
but when the trouble was over, the
Board of Trustees, with great pro
priety, conferred diplomas on all the
surviving members of the class. Mr.
Ligon is the highly efficient and ac
ceptable pastor of two or three
churches in Newberry Count.y. We
wish him abundant success in his
work of faith and labor of love.
It gave us pleasure to observe that
Col. Renwick was enjoying what the
Roman poet calls viridis senectus-a
green old age. Although he has
nearly completed his three score and
ten, his step is firm and elastic, giving
promise of at least another decade. A
daughter, who is a graduate of the
Due West Female College, now Mrs.
,0., leads the church music. and leads
it well. We have seldom heard a
better voice.
We were pleased to renew our ac
quaintance with Mr. E. P. Chalmers,
Clerk of the Court, and other friends,
whom we should like to mention, did
space permit.
On M[onday morning, our courteous
friend and host, Mr. Martin, laid us
under additional obligations by a drive
over town. He took us first to the
Lutheran College, situated on a comn
manding eminence,.from which could
be seen, in the distance, the former
residence of Gen. A. C. Garlington,
Col. Simeon Fair, and others. The
College building occupies the same
ground as formerly, but, if our memn
ory does not mislead us, is entirely
new. The surroundings are very pic
turesque and attractive. In the rear
is a beautiful grove of what Long
fellow calls "murmuring pine." A
large number of young - trees have
the cordial and unanimous support
of the citizens. The Faculty consists
of five, the Rev. Mr. Holland, a dis
abled Confederate soldier, being Pres
ident. Success to him, and the in
stitution over which he presides !
In the course of our drive, we
passed the lot on which once stood
the elegant and hospitable mansion of
Dr. McMorries, unfortunately de
stroyed by fire. We also saw the for
mer residence of Chancellor Johnstone,
a name so familiar to the people of
South Carolina. Upon the whole, we
were much surprised to find that New
berry was so large a town. The pop
ulation is - estimated at twenty-five
hundred ; and, on every hand, there
are indications of growth and pros
perity. Numerous buildings are go
ing up, some of them large and iw
posing. Two hotels are in process of
erection, which, when completed,
would be an ornament to Columbia or
Charleston. Mrs. Mower, a member
of the church in which we attemped
to preach, is erecting a very large and
handsome building on the Public
Square, consisting of four rooms, all
with iron fronts.
Trade seems to be brisk, all the
stores being thronged with customers.
Mr. Martin is doing a fine business,
his sales amounting to eight thousand
dollars a month.
But we must close before the pa
tience of our readers is completely ex
hausted. P.
John, my dear, said she-tenderly,
if you do not buy a bottle of Dr.
Bull's Cough Syrup immediately, I
will go home to my mother; I can't
stand this coughing any longer. He
bought a bottle.
Substantial Indications of Pros
perity.
News and Courier.
The annual circular of the Mercan
tile Agency of Messrs. R. G. Dunn &
Co., just issued, gives something more
solid than the hope of better times.
For seven years the annual reports
were doleful enough. The number of
failures in business kept increasing
until from 4,069 in 1872 it reached
10,478 in 1878. But now this ex
cellent business thermometer records
the fact, which everybody admits, that
the tide has turned and is running
strongly in the opposite direction.
The number of failures in 1879 was
3,820 less than during the previous
year, and the amount of liabilities in
volved declined from $234,383,132 to
$98,149,052, by far the smallest
amount since 1870. During the flush
times of 1872, the year before the
crash, the total amount of liabilities
was $121,056,000.
The circular speaks of the past year
as "phenomenal," both in the extent
and rapidity of its profits, resulting
from the advance in values and the
increased volume of trade, and in the
decrease in losses fronm bad debts. The
statistics of failures show that in the
Western States only one trader in
every 159 failed, as against one in
every 100 in the Middle States; one
in every 93 in the Southern States,
and one in every 85 in the Eastern
States; while in the Pacific States the
failures have equalled -ne in every 45.
The improvement is exhibited more
clearly by recalling that in 1876 every
sixty-ninth man succumbed ; in 1877
every seventy-third ; in 1878 every
sixty-fourth, while for 1879 it was
only every one hundred and fifth
.ader who laid down his load. In an
army of over 700,000 an improvement
so marked would certainly beget a
most hopeful confidence in its chances
of success.
The number of failures and the
amounts of liabilities in the Southern
States, for 1879 and 1878, are as
follows :

Messrs. Dunn & Co. speak with
great confidence of the future, the in
dications all showing that the good
times, so anxionsly looked for, are
coming to stay. The figures presented
by Messrs. Edward Russell & Co. in
in their circular upon mercantile fail
ures are also satisfactory. According
to their statistics, the number of fail
ures is very nearly one-third less than
that for 1878, while the aggregate
liabilities show the very remarkable
reduction of fifty eight per cent., or
consideraby more than one-half. Not
since 1874 has the number been so
small as it was last year, while the in
debtedness upon which default was
made has exceeded that of 1879 in
every year since 1871. The most
marked cases of improvement are in
the large cities. The decrease in li
abilities in New York was from forty.
two and a half millions to thirteen
and a quarter millions, or nearly seven
ty-fve per cent.; in Boston, from
eleven and a quarter to three and a
half millions, or sixty-eight per cent.;
in Philadelphia, from ten millions to
three millions, seventy per cent. ; in
Cincinnati, seven and a half millions
to a little more than one million,
eighty-five per cent. ; in Chicago,
thirteen millions to two and a quarter
millions, eigh ty-three per een t. Rarely
has such a great change for the better
taken place in so short a time.

Of course all good Democrats hope

About Cottonu.
MEssRs. EDIOiRs: The cotton crop
of 1879, as shown by the Bureau of
Statisties, is about 250,000 bales less
than 1878. Our exports for the year
1878 were about 3,400,000 bales, our
home consumption about 1.600,000.
It is fair to estimate that from the de
pression in trade throughout the whole
world there is a scareity of manufac
ured goods; especially is this true in
this country, from the fact that every
actory, warehouse and country store
here has been emptied of manufactured
goods from increase of trade, arising
rom unparallelled prosperity. You
may estimate that we shall want 40
per cent. more cotton for home con
umption than we did last year. This
would require 640,000 bales more than
we raised in the year 1878; add to
~his the 250,000 bales short in the
~rop of 1879, and you have a deficien
y for export of a million bales.
You may take into account the ex
ensive exodus of' negro labor from the]
~otton producing States to the North
estern States. Taking all things
nto consideration, the farmers of the
~otton belt in the Southern States mayt
~xpect to see cotton sell very much <
igher--at least 50 per cent.-above
resent prices. China and India have
een raising about as much cotton as
he Southern States, say 5,000,000s
>ales; but the population of China'l
md India has grown so rapidly in the
ast twenty years tnat they will be
oipelied to stop raising cotton and
aise provisions for their starving peo
~le. T'hus you see the cotton belt in ~
he Southern States will have to furI
sh cotton for the wo.rld-say 12,- b
k
{u.000 bales. South Caroliua can
