From Eliza Cook's Journal.
FORTUNE AND LOVE.
Let me live without fortune, ifProvidenco will it;
For Joy can be found where small treasure is shed;
' Those who bear a full cup are most fearful to spill it,
And oftentimes walk with the narrowest trend.
I care not though Fate may deny me profusion,
If earth will but show me some rays from shore;
Tell nic not that God's light is a dreamy illusion;
1 could live without Fortune, but not without Love.1
Oh! 'tis pleasant to know there are beings ahovc us
Who tune the most exquisite strings in our heart.
To feel that they would not be happy without us,
And that we, in our loneliness, sigh when we part,
Old there's something divine in the thought that We
cherish
A star-beam within us, Ihst shines from aboveTo
know, that if all the world gives us should perish,
The greatest of Fortune still dwells in our Lo?e!
Oh! 'tis glory to feel that wo live for some others,
That self is not all we depend on below,
That affection yot linkR us to sisters and brothers,
WI10SC iailll will uo iiuiiKiBiii, utniHi "<MU w vm
WO.
Though the vulture of trouble may harrass our bo.
pom,
Ne'er four while our spirit is fed by the dove;
Let the desert of Life give Eternity's blossom,
And we'll live without Fortuno, while favored by
Love!
Suicidk?On Saturday, the 16th ult?
Mr. Edward Potilton, vvlio was at the time
a circuit picachcrin the Methodist connexion,
killedjhimself at ihe house of Mr. Karns,
in this city, by cutting his throat from ear
lo ear, with his pen knife. The cati e of
ilii? drpndfnl net was intomnerancc.
Having been previously acquainted willi
Mr. Karns, he came to hisjhouse the day he
committed the latal deed, and was invited
lo remain until Monday. He seemed deeply
dejected, spoke much of his past excesses, of
the loss of his religious consolations, and the
wreck of his usefulness as a minister and as
a man. At his request, Mr. K. drew up his
will, Poulton, giving as a reason for the request,
that he did not know how soon lie
might die. By this instrument, the property
of the deceased, amounting to several thousand
dollars in cash and noics, was devised
to his brothers, residing in England, of which
country Mr. Poulton was a native.
Soon after, Mr. Karns, having some business
to transact out of doors, invited his
guest to nmuse himself with some books
which he brought, giving him at the same
lime the pledge of the Washington Total
Abstinence Society to look over. On the
return of Mr. Karns, Poulton told him that
he had signed the pledge during his absence,
and the act had given much relief to his
mind. Mr. K. congratulated hiin warmly
upon his triumph over appetite, gave him a
cordial shake of the hand, and spoke cncouraginglv
of tlie future.
Soon after, tea was announced, but Poulton
declined going to the table, and was left
alone in the room, A few moments after, a
letter inviting Mr Karns to attend a temperance
meeting at Freeporl, was put into his
hands, and going directly to the sitting room
for his spectacles, he discovered the unfortunate
Poulton in the very act of committing
self-murder, grasping firmly m one hand the
kinlo with which he was cutting his tnroat,
and with the other holding his chin.
Mr. Karns, immediately leaped forward
and seized his hand, hut it was so slippery
with blood that he found it impossible to relain
it. Willi a strong effort Poulton broke
from his friendly grasp, and made a desperate
effort to lake the hie of the man who
would preserve Ins. Mr. Knrns found it
necessary to call help, but before any assistance
could arrive, Poulton succeeded in severing
the carotid artery and fell to the door
a hlondv and mangled corpse.
W hut a horrid commentary upon intemperance.
It is worthy of remark also, that
lilts tnan used no intoxicating beverage but
beer. It was this that ruined his character,
destroyed his happiness, and drove him front
wretchedness to despair, and suicide. Let
the beer-tiplcr take warning.

Education and Lirerty go iiaad and
iiand.?When the dark ages covered En.
rope with a midnight gloom, but few persons
bad the benefit of education, and those
few were Priests and Monks. What was
the consequence? Brute force was the
principle upon which governments were established.
The stronger rule was one of
lyrranny. In the history of those times, the
only history of a happy government was
when the monarch was educated.
Upon the first dawning of the light of science
upon mankind, the light of liberty began
to shine.
It was llicn discovered that wlien men
were intelligent, there was less need of force
in governing them; and knowledge and right
reason were inure powerful than the arm of
lyrranny.
Men learned to reason on their rights, and
to question the opinion that might ami birth
gave right to government, and to discover
Kings held ^sftver for their own aggrandizement
anu not for the benefit of the people.
The light of education in England caused
the puopie to think and act for themselves,
to resist the encroachments of power?and
Charles the first to lose his head.
The seeds of that light were cast on our
shores, and when the Pilgrim Fathers landed
on the Plvinoth rock a grain of mustard seed
was sown that now fills the land.
Had it not been for the knowledge of individual
right, inculcated bv education,
our Revolutionary Fathers, when tlicv Treed
themselves from a foreign yoke, would have
returned to the old system of a kingly government.
Rut they found that men when
rightly taught, are capable of self government;
and a system by which the people
ruled, was established.
If education was at this lime universally
promoted in Europe, as il is in our country,
so that inen knew their own power, how
short a time would it be until no head in
Europe would wear a crown?
But to preserve tins liberty, Icarnin2
should not be permitied to languish bv rieg.
lect. The power that achieves liberty is
necessary to preserve it.
Let then every arm be stretched forth to
guard our liberty by diffusing the blessings
of education. Let knowledge?an emanation
from the Deity?illume the humble
dwellhigof the poor, as well as the halls of
the rich. Until our free institutions shall
be so firmly fixed, that the shocks of European
revolutions, the turmoils of nations;
not even the chai ging hand of time shall
be able to move their firm basis.
Until our free and enlightened land shall
stand as a beacon light to guide darkened
nations into the path of true and perfect liberty.
Chinese in San Fkancisco.?Among the
strange groups going to make up the population
of' $?a PraoewcoyfMH the least remarkable
is the emigrants front China. A letter
says:
At least seventy-five houses have been
imported from Canton, and are put up by
Chinese carpenters. Nearly all the chairs
in private families are of Chinese manufacture,
and there are two restaurants in the
town, kept by Kong-sung and VV bang-long,
where very palatable chow-cow, curry, and
tarts are served up by the Celestials.
Another account says: "VVe are so fortunate
as to be located in a section of the
town where large numbers of Chinese have
Ditched tt eir tents, and we have remarked
Willi much interest the character and habits '
of these people. From early morn until late 1
in the evening lluse industrious men are en- 1
gaged in their occupation of house builders, j
ot which a great many have been exported
from China ; ami (he (|tiietncss and order, 1
cheerfulness and temperance, which is ob. 1
servable in their character, is noticed by eve. 1
ry one. Search the city through and you '
will not find an idle Chinaman; and their
cleanliness excels any other people we ever 1
saw. !
The buildings brought from China are 1
generally twenty feet square, one story in !
height, and twelve teel from floor lo ceiling. *
The limbers are round, and many of them '
very crooked. We have noticed in many '
instances me erection 01 umna uuuuings 01 1
double size described above, but we suppose '
:n such cases two seperate farmers are erect- 1
ed together, thus forming a single building. 1
The first movement after raising the frame I
is to attach the window, which consists of a '
frame and blinds without sash. The blind '
is so constructed as to close itscif by its own 1
weight, the slat being of double width out. |
side The timber is very uniform in size, J
and about six or eight inches in diameter. 1
The boards are well seasoned and resembie '
j American cedar. The price of a Chinese
I building such as we have described, mclu- *
ding the erection, is SI500. The building, '
. . r I
however, consists simply of the frame and '
covering. They are brought from Hung- 1
Kong. '
Distance of tiib Stars.?Light is the '
swiftest moving body with which we are
acquainted; it flies from the sun to the earth. '
a distance of ninety-five millions of miles, in '
about eight minutes, or at I lie rate of 192,- 1
000 miles every moment of tunc; yet light, '
incomprehensively swift as its motion is,
would require ten years and 114 days to
fly across this mighty interval; so that il the
star 61 C'tjxiti were supposed to be only just
! now launche into existence, it would be
mote than ten years before its light could '
reach the distant globe on which we dwell, 1
I so as to appear as a small star twinkling in ,
1 our sky. Suppose a cannon ball to move "500 1
! miles every hour without intermission, would ?
| require fourteen millions, two hundred and 1
fifty-five thousand, four hundred and eigh- 1
teen years before it could move across the f
same interval. 1
Wetting Bricks.?Few people, except (
1 builders, are aware of the advantages of I
I .?/ j hnf.nTi IniMiaft I li/>rvv A ii*n I I I
i wl'luiii; uiii,i\.i ugiwiu kuiii^ infill, it ?v <m
j twelve inches) thick, built of good mortar, s
! vvnh qrick well soaked, is stronger in every 1
| respect, than one sixteen inches thick built <
; dry. The reason of this is Hint if the bricks 1
! arc saturated with water they will nut ab- <
stract from the mortar the moisture which is
necessary to crystalization, and, on the con- l
trarv, they will unite chemically with the *
mortar, and become as hard as a rock. On I
the other hand, if the bricks are dry. the im- i
mediately take ail the moisture, from the <
mortar, and leave it too hard to dry, and the '
consequence is that when a building of this I
description is taken down, or tumbles down 1
of its own accord, the mortar falls from it
like so much sand. 1
Tennessee.?Parties in the Tennessee I
legislature are exactly equal. The Demo- I
orals have three majority in one house; the <
wliigs have three majority iu the other; on I
joint ballot there is a tic, ilcucc, when they i
go into convcttion for elections, there is '<
dead lock, and nobody is elected. They
tried to elect a Judjjc on the 19th, but gave <
it up after four ballotings, tic and tie all the i
tunc <
Fashion.?The fashionable ladies of New 1
York, i? is said, have got out a new style of i
brocade for diesses, at only six dollars a 1
yard ! About twenty yards make a pattern.
Then they have little berthas at twenty Ool- <
lars; head dresses nt ten; ostrich feathers at <
tlncc dollars, and Heaven knows what be- I
side. Bv way of antithesis to all this finery,
narrow brimmed hats arc said to be all the 1
rage at present among the men of Gotham, (
and in order to make them superlatively ng- f
Iv, the hat is shaped like an inverted flower i
pot' I
A Sweet Command.?"Now, put that ;
right back where you took it fromP as the t
girl said when her lover snatched a kiss, ;
In the Temperance Advocate of last
week, we find a report of the late meeting of
the Grand Division S. T. We have only room
for the Report ol the Grand Scribe, which is as
follows:?
The Grand Scribe has the satisfaction of
reporting to the Grand Divisinu, for the Inst
cpiarter of the year, which closes the official
term of the present officers, a highly intorL'sting
and most gratifying condition of the
Order in South Carolina.
During the past year, there have been
opened 45 Divisions, with an increase of upwards
of two thousand members, from the
returns made, 7 Divisions having failed to
make returns. During the past quarter, 19
Divisions have been organized, number of
members initiated regularly, 761; by dispensation,
30; admitted by card, 24; withdrawn,
B6; broke the pledge 1st time, 41: do. second
time, 5; signed over, 20; number of
deaths, 5; whole number of members, 1482;
receipts per quarter, 82738. 58 ; per centagc
to G. D. 8142. 38; expended for benefits
and relief, 879. 51 ; amount in the Treasury
of Subordinate Divisions, 82765. 77.
With these lacts before us, which speak
more eloquently than language can depict,
we have every encouragement, with a chain
of posts extending from the sea board to the
mountains; from the eastern poition of the
Slate to the western; guarded by sentinels
daily becoming more- vigilant, regularly
making assaults upon the dominions of Al.
chofiol?practically carrying out the motto
[>f the heroic Naval Commander of Britain,
svery Son is doing his duty, while opposition
meets us from the temperate drinker and
vender of spir.ts. Jt is to be regretted, they
are not alone, but receive the aid ol those,
hoiocver Utile they may intend it, who are
the ministers of the everlasting gospel, and
professed Heralds of the Prince of Peace.?
While it is our duty to enlighten all who
may desire to know our true position, as
members of an Order, which has for its aim
the abolishment of the traffic aud use as a
beverage of intoxicating liquors, we can.

EMBLEMATIC COLORS.
In every early art, we find colors used in
1 symbolic or mystic sense ; and, until the
incicut principles and traditions were wholly
,vorn out of memory or set aside by the lat.
....in r<>li>i-? were :innronri>
|<Umil. 4.V.. ...... _ , , , ,
ito to cerium objects and personages,
ind could not arbitrarily be applied or misippbed.
In die old specimens of stained
jlass, we find significatians scrupulously ateuded
to.
Thus:- While, represented by the tliamond
>r silver, was the emblem of light, religious
Hirity, innocence, virginity, faith, joy and
ife. Our Savour wears white alter his renirrection.
In the judge, it indicated integ*
ity; in the sick man humility; in the woman,
diastiiy. It was the color consecrated to
he virgin, who, however, never wears white,
:xeept in pictures of the Assumption.
Bed, tin: ruby, signified fire, divine love,
ho Holy Spirit. heal or the creat.ve power,
iiid royalty. While and red roses express
ove and innocence, or love and wisdom, as
ri the garland with which die angels crown:d
St. Cecilia. In a bad sense, red sigcifies
jlooil, war, hatred, punishment. Red and
jlack combined were the colors of purgato y
and the devil.
Blue, or the sapphire, expressed heaven,
he firmament, truth eonianry, fidelity.?
Christ and the Virgin wear the red tunic and
due mantle as signifying heavenly love and
icavcnlv trulh. The same colors were giv.
mi to St. John the Evangelist, with this dif:erencc,
that he wore the blue tunic: and the
"eel mantle; in the latter pictures, the colors
ire sometimes red and green.
Yellow, or gold, was the symbol of the sun;
if the gooodncss of God, initiation or rmrriage,
faith, or fruitfulncss* In the pictures
if the apostles. St. Peter wears a yellow
nantlc over a blue tunic. In a bad sense,;
rellow signifies inconstancy, jealousy, deceit, i
n this sense it is given to the traitor Judas,
who is generally habited in dirty yellow.
Green, the emerald, is the color of spring;
if hope particularly hope in immortality; and
if victory, as the color of the palm and the
laurel.
Violet, the aincthvst, signified love and
[ruth; or, passion or suffering. Hence it is !
:he color olien worn nv me martyrs. in ;
some instances our Savour, alter Ins resurrection,
is habited in a violet instead of a
slue mantle. The Virgin also wears violet
liter the crucifixion. Alarv Magdalen, who
is a patron saint wears the red robe, as penicnt
wears violet and blue, the colors of
sorrow and constancy. In the devotional !
representation of her by Timetey della Vita,
alie wears red and green, the colors of love
and hope,
Grey, the color of ashes signified mourn*
irig, humility, and innocence accused : hence
adopted as the dress of the Franciscans (the
gray friars,) hut it has since been changed
lor a dark rusty brown.
Black, expressed the earth , darkness,
mourning, wickedness, negotiation, death,
and was appropriaie to the Prince of Dark* .
ness. In soine old illuminated MSS., Jesus,
in the temptation, wears a black robe.-*
White and black together, signified purity of
life, and mourui.ig or humiliation; hence
adopted by the Dominicians and Carmelites*
The mystical application ol attributes and
colors was more particularly attended to in
thai class of subjects 1 have distinguished as
decotional. in the sacred historical pictures
we find that the attributes are usually omit*
ted as superfluous, and characteristic pro*
priety of color often sacrificed to the general
cflct.?Mis. Jameson's Sacred and
Legendary Art.
A Slight Mistake.?An aged gentle* *
man from the Borders lately resolved to visit
the 'famous London town,' and arrived in
that city in the month of June. A lew day*
after his arrival, having walked from morn
till eve under a sultry sun, he became fa*
tigucd,and wishful to rest himself, he enter* ? '
ed Madame Tussaud's exhibition of wax*
work, and sat down. He had scarcely
done so, when balmy sleep stole o'er hint*
A family party coining up the venerable
gentleman in the chair was taken for one of
Madame T.'s wax-work figures, and accord*
inglv, the party stood to gaze at hiin. The
sire nodded; thev admired.
Well,' quoth the moiher, 'how natural T
At this tlie father?a b.t of a critic in his
own way?planted himself in front of the
supposed figure, and with all the severity of
Edinburgh reviewer, forthwith began to
point out all its faults, and to show the ma*
nv grievous errors into which the artist had
fallen. But all that he said of its faults
could not restrain the youngest girl from
embracing the image?to bestow a kiss! tfnc
did so, and the Borderer awoke. What the
feelings of the party were, it would be dif*
fieult to describe. One of them, in relating
the incident, remarked that tic heard ol the
confusion at the building of the Tower of
Babel, but he questions whether it was &*
great aa that of the party on this occasions
March of Intellect.?A lad in Salem
was asked a few days since by his leacher
what Patrimony meant? "Something left
by a father." was the prompt reply. "And
what would you call it if left by a mother?''
"Why," answered the bov?"Matrimony#
of course." Go, Fayette, and take your
seat, sonny, that's a smart bov.
A colored clergyman, preaching recently
to a black audience at the South, saithj '1

you can buy two ob'em for a farden, bow
berry much more he care for you, dat is ,

If that argument is'nt a colored *non sequi.
lur/ we never saw a colored non sequitur.
Polygamy amo.yg the Desert Mormors.?A
correspondent writing from the
city of Salt Lake, states that the laws of the
community permit the men to have as inanv
wives as ihev can support, and that some of
the oldji* ones have twenty, but that young
men content themselves with live.
A Darijy's DnAtxs.?A couple of fellows
in New York city, happened to tnkc a fancy
to a young lady, and one of them sent the
other a challenge which was accepted; accordingly
they proceeded to the Jerseys to
trv the cold lead. The seconds loaded the
pistols with nothing but powder The one
who received the challenge put a rotten egg
into his pocket, and when the pistols were
discharged, the dandy standing ready to fall
from fright, received the egg plump in his
forehead: which knocked his spindle shanks
quite to the ground and applying both his
hands to his ihcc, sr.rapcd ofF the moving
matter, and turning his eyes mournfully .towards
heaven, exclaimed, "Oh, God ! sec my
brains !!"
Politeness at Home.?Always speak
with the utmost politeness and deference
to your parents and friends. Some children
arc polite and civil, everywhere else
except at home; but there they are coarse
and rude enough. Shameful!
Nothing sits so graceful upon children,
and nothing makes them so lovely, as habitual
respect and dutiful deportment towards
their friends and superiors. It makes the
plainest face beautiful, and gives to common
action a nameless but peculiar charm.
Innocence and Viutit:.?Innocence and
virtue, toough totally different, are often mistaken
lor the same thing. Innocence is
hardly fo he fomul in the world; onr specimens
of it are to he seen in the land), the
dove, and the infant; it consists in ignorance
of evil. Virtue is alone attained through a
knowledge hotli of good and evil, and a do.
lertnincd strife against the latter in all its
forms. The innocence of this world may
often go astray from very ignorance. Virtue
knows hotli the good and the evil path,
hut adheres firmly to the former. Virtue,
then, is hy far the nobler attainment of the
two.
