A moment since my merry girls Went bounding forth in childish glee— Those laughing eye*, those roguish curls - Ob, they are worth the world to me. They climbed and clamored for the kiss The good-night kiss that all must share. The silent seal of household bliss, Before the whispered, evening prayer (The "Now I lay me down to sleep,") So softly and so meekly said— May angels guardian watehes keep Around my darlings' peaceful bed. Life, with my pets, fs sunny morn— Tor them eaeb day new glories giew— Tor them new buds of bliss are born, Blue skies, for them, arch all below ; fhoy wake with gladness In their eyes They feel ne oare—they know no ill lach morning bringa some swedt surprise, Which dreams, at night, make sweeter still.' My prayers are with themwbile they sleep— My prayers go with them while they wake— They ere the jewels which I keep Ad cherish for my dear one's sake; Tea, doubly dear they seem to me, Now, motherless in tender years, And thoughts of their futurity Bring sometimes smiles and sometimes tears.

QFEEM MART AMD JOHM KMOI. The beauty, accomplishment* end courage f Mary, Queen of Seotts, have given her irn -3SL3JS advantage tu the controversies tbat have waged concerning her for three hundred Tears. If the question had been one relating to a oicb, or e woman of inferior attraction, the decision would bavo been mueh easier A hi*B is felt by every one unconsciously. She wan beautiful, unfortunate, trained in France by the most unscrupulous politicians in Europe in a court where virtue was a word used in spesehes and poetry, and chastity was a jest, sdo she was badly treated by Elizabeth, who bad no rights over her whatever. Her religion hsrdly professed, prsolioaiiy, to teach her pu rity or mortality. Her circumsunses were very difficulty; her subjects turbolent to an tutrnordinary degree, and the religion of Scot land of the severest form that true Christianity has ever assumed. The rude manners of the sge interfered with the comfort and privacy of ;ibe young Queen. Thcsa are the excuses to he made for her. They are urged so constant ly and earnestly as to blind the most of Mary's adventures to the facts of history. Withcßt descending to the scandal which has been no freely iavished iD this case, wo may say tbat it is certain that Mary first mar ried the French Danpbin, next the handsome and worthless Daroley, of whom she became tired and of whose 'murder her memory has never been cleared- It is certain that in three months aud one week afterwards abe married Both well, nekunwledged on all bauds to have bseu the murderer of her hasbsad, while she w<iß either his accourpltmeo, or at least was perfectly aware of bis guilt, aud hid ased ber power to prevent his punishment. She was constantly placed in equivocal positions with tuose whom she socmen to delight in gathering around her as lovers—Ktano, Douglas, Cardan besides keeping up a sort of system of possi ble rairri&ge with almost every bachelor king and high noble in Europe. We are sorry not to be aMe to say more for Mary; bat this is the plain, nocolored testimony of history. It strong contrast with tb£ figure; which stands oak from the canvass still graceful and fascinating, in that unpopular character, John Knox. It is the peculiar fortune, however, of such men to mellow with time. Those who are really great amid a thousand difficulties can hardly find due appreciation until cau teries have, abed their quiet light upon their grave. Tbat John Knox was a perfect char acter: no msn will maintain. Bis faults are palpible, and are among the first tbiogs seen ui tiiot.

It is remarkable that Kno* has lefi Do work which indicates any special adaption for speculative thought, or for theological or philosophical discussion. His works are po lemic and historic. He was emphatically a man of action, politician, a preacher, a patriot, a hero. John Calvin baa held the struggling world io hie iron grasp these three hundred jeers. He has fixed in adamantine forms the great and eolemn truths revealed by God tr man. Stern, solemn and awful, fearful as they are, we eac not escape from them. The strength of a logic, as fine at. linked mail, and as strong as the ebain which is t> bind Satan before the Millenium, is upon mankind. .No other uninspired man has with such steady and in such absolute white light, never disolv log into the prismatic colore ot imagiuaiiuL, geiod into the depths of eternity, and write down the laws of the moral universe. Kepler fixed his eyes upon the vault of Heaven, and by the power of an extraordinary analysis, snowed how God has fashioned suns and worlds, and by what vast tdeae, which we call i*ws, they move in their maguificient orbits. Calvin by • mightier analysis, and on a grander scale, and with an iuteneer insight, drew nearer io the throne, and caught Irani the deep, involved utterances of a divine philosophy, inspbared the ideas of God from eternity to eternity, these awful laws which have ever since been coming into ectuaiiation in pure morals, in free institutions, in siem courage, in coniprc* bsnnive /#* in gigantic enterprise, and in the comparison of Heaven, has yet made it sacred as the battle ground of God's elect and the ante-chamber of the Eternal. Bullet no man underrate John Kuox.— Boaroely ever had any one harder work to do; and ue did it thoroughly. He breathed the breath of life into Scotland, and every great Presbyterian down to our fmies, has caught somewhat of the spirit of Koox.

THE HARBORS OF SOUTH CARO LEVA Ao inter-sting article m Hunt's Merchant's Magazine gives the following ties iption of the harbors us the coast of South Carolina: GEORGETOWN. Geotgetowo, South Carolina, is seventy two nails* southwest from Cans Fetr. h.ylqg a running among scoals. The depth of ohau nel varies from seven feet to thirty. Tha Pe dee river oonnects Georgetown with the inte rior, being Dsvagible as far as Couway boro' by brigs, lhe blockade of the entrance te tbii harbor would be -asy. Farther down lbs coast empties in tbc Santee rival, whose uoulb in cbdfrneted by shaals, on which the depth of water is only from two to rwo aud a quarter fest. BULL'S BAY. Thjjp is a good barhor of refuge from south east winds, aud very accessible. The depth on the bar at mean low water ;s thirteen feet, and the aceuerage is good in twenty one feet, insida Capers' and Dewces' inlets, below Bull's Baj, admits vessels drawing six feet water. CHARLESTON. The harbor has six entrances, which, begin ning with the one farthest North, are in this order: Mifit's or th# Sullivan's Island chan nel, vrith eleven feet; tho North channel, with eight feet: the Swash with nine feet; the Over all channel, which is not now used; the main ship channel, with eleven feet, and Lawferd ebannel, which gives eleven feet at mean low wutor. The entrance by north channel is ex-. tremoly precarious to vessel# drawing ev6n feet of water, and impassible at low tides to any other. Swaeh ebannel varies in depth from seven lo ten feet. Maffit's channel is narrow at the bulk-head near Fort Monltrie jetiee. Tbc antranees to Charleston are such that a single vael eouid easily bloskade the barbor without being molested from possible fortifisations on shore. Charleston ia aon esc tad with the inteiior by tha Ashley and Cooper rivers, and by two railroads tbat join the national net work. Tbe retraces to Charleston is perfectly promoted by For's Moultrie and Sumter, the latter on a about near tbe cb-mcel. . There are also military works en Morris island and Cumaiiofs P..int. The eity, lying at tbe onnlusttee of two riv ers and surrounded by low riot marshes, is diffieult of approaoh. There ie an approach through Eilfrit'a cut, from Stone river North Ediato river, between Charleston aud St. Helena Sound, baa nine feet af water on its bar at mean low tide. Tbia and the Stone and South Kdisto river entrant#** are good htrbnii of refuge from northeast winds for vessels of light draft. BEAUFORT. Following tbe coast downward, the next seaport of any imp'Ttsnse is Beaufort, South Carolina. Tbis plane, situated on St. Helena Island, is accessible by two inlets; via: the south channel of St. Helena Bouod, in depth seventeen feet; tbe second inlet, of twenty j feet, being tbe southeast channel of Fort Roy al nt nee. Beaufort river haa an average c'.eptb of .'ixteeti feet at low water, tea point within two miles ef the eity, and nearly flf teei up to B anfor*.

'•DIED MIGHT" Coupled with the bridals, printed in little type, leading off the advertisements, jostled by sorry jest, hard behind a market, close be hind a cotillion, what a place a newspaper is, to put a death in. We are reading something about a home, and all at onoe we are in a piaee of graven we are looking over the testimonials to the Elixir of Life, and oome, before we hnow it, upon a "Lied last nigbt." If there were only some tetired and shaded corner in a newspaper, with a willow or an urn in it, where tbe names that have no owo ete; could bo recorded, and we could go when weary when rambling through tbe columns of i.astle and business, and read; and think how surely oue after mother, all nanus tend tbitber; these that stand at tbe bead of the co umn editorial in capitals; (boss that are pointed at with a Sugar, and wondered over with exciauiaticu points, and asked after with iuterrog itions; those that were brides tbe oth er day, and ere brides atiil, but with new bruLgraome; those (bat were heroes, cd found piece in the "leader;" or beautiful aad wo ven in a wreath for "Poet'e Corner." But there is no auah retreat—nothing but a narrow black hue like this • ' to keep the world out, to prevent tbe railway tram, whose times are advertised below, from ruo tit tig over tbe name aad obliterating it. And so it ia like a grave in a thorougfare, covered with dust, end jarred by passing wheels; it gives as pain to look at it, and we are glad it ie only for a day. "Died last oigbt." It was nobody that you know, you think, and so yea pace on to a "*nU" era "bargain" that you see beyond, and forget that there was ever eueb a name uf such a dying in the world. How apt we are to forget thai there are tboee though, who cat hardly see the nemo for the heavy rain what is falling, while the heavn overhead is bright and clear; that eyes do reat thereon, that see a world pet out where you dieoern a name; that wonder how the sua eaa suiat, since sun down oame to tbem; who bear with their hearts the idle laugh that's passing oo tbe wind. "Died last night." A pleasant time ie die, the true light of stars, to fad the way eut from tbe port of earth by evarlaatieg Upe "Died last night." How many died; bow many beautiful and good; Low mauy young and fair; how many revered and wise. Home that you and we knew: perhaps eae that yoa and we loved. We shall hear of it by aad by, and then we shall rswstnber that it was last aigbt she died. To die at aoy time "is a dread and awful thiag;" to die whan day is breaking; to din a( high noon; :• die when the peer! and gold of morning and the glow of noon are ail blended upon the pa'ette of the West, till the sky looks like a great tiated shell thrown up npon tbe shore of Eternity.

De Bow om the Danger* of Peace. The Richmond Dispatch of the 14th cays : De Bow's November Review has ao admira ble article, entitled tb "Perils of Peace." The obvions danger of en immense Yankee immigration, which well Abolitionize the bor der State# et the balloUbox, unless snob res trietions are placed upon tbe exeroise of suf frage as wili prevent them Jron ever having a vote, are painted io letters of light. We have often referred to this danger as one whioh, if not provided against in time, wili render all lbs blnod and treasare expended in this war entirely profitless. The tame writer also oou tends that while our present foreign population wbioh has proved so gallant and faithful in the southern cause, should retain tbe pieces -ion of every right which tbey now bve, tbe suae privilege should not be conferred on fu uire euiigraut* to lbi:> country. He also ex presses the opinion 'hat no European, and, wo may add, northern citiaen, now residing in the south, unless it be one who is still au alien will eoodeiua a feeling which does not deprive northerners or foreigners, now visiting here, of any right which they possess, but only pro. poses to exolade hereafter those who am now eedeavoting to deprive eveiy eomthern man of his liberties.

On arriving at tha scene of the disaster it was ascertained that eaa hundred and seventeen miners were miming, and that 1.800,000 ca bin yarde of water had rushed into the mine, and caused numerous landslips. Tha engin eers are of she opinion tha* it will require three months to pump out the water. Publio rumor casta the blsme en the engineers, but tha fact is that a waterspout burst and caused 4 tor rent, which rushed into the mine with eueh violence and rapidity that even tha overseers had net time to save themselves.
