216 THE COURANT; A SOUTHERN LITERARY JOURNAL.

ARGENTUM TRIUMPHANS!
-----
BY HENRY P. LELAND.
-----
Over mountain and river,
Field, forest and plain,
The rose-light of sunset
Came beaming again.
From the south blew the soft wind
With balmy perfume.
Bretah of hay newly mown
And flow'rets in bloom.
When out of the forest
And over the plain
Come an old-fashioned chaise
With a new-fashioned twain.
Oh, one was all waistcoat,
And watch-chain and hat;
While the other was bearded
And grey as a rat,
With an eye like a hawk
And a nonchalant air,
That the children of Art
Seem to claim as their share.
For he was an artist
In landscapes excelled,
And seeing this sunset
At first his tongue held:
Then finding that Waistcoat
And Watch-Chain and Hat,
Was driving so fast
He lost this scene and that:--
"Hold up!" said the artist,
"By Jove! what fine tones,
Rose and pearl tints are touching
Up clouds, sticks and stones."
Then out spoke the waistcoat,
"I've seen 'em before,
And got at this minnit
A load in my store:--
I bought a big bill
Of ribbons that shade
And never sold one!"
Here he "laid on the braid."
The artist's head sunk
In the depths of his collar,
As the Gheber's sun turned out
THE ALMIGHTY DOLLAR. Phila. Bulletin.

THE Executive Committee of the State Agricultural Society of

of South Carolina, and the Southern States, to their approaching
Annual Festival. The Premium List is a very comprehensive one,
and Premiums will be awarded on every article of merit coming

LADIES' FANCY WORK, and DOMESTIC ECONOMY.
In addition to the large and admirably-arranged Halls for the
accommodation of Exhibotors, the Committee have made other very
important improvements, which will add much to the comfort and
enjoyment of visitors.
A SPACIOUS AMPHITHEATRE

interest of the Exhibition. The track for the exercise and display
of "fast trotters" has been put in order, and the trotters already
entered promise something exciting.
Visitors will be passed over all the Railroads in the State, during
the week of exhibition, for one fare. All articles and animals,
intended expressly for exhibition, will be passed, (at the owners'
risk) over all the Railroads in South Carolina without charge,
except the South Carolina Railroad, and Cheraw and Darlington
Roads, which will demand one-half freight. Visitors should take the
precaution to procure Return Tickets when they pay their fare, to
avoid embarrassment and delay. Exhibitors will please give the
Railroad Officers timely notice of such animals and articles as they
may wish transported, as well as the time and point of delivery.
