FERRY. ^CONTINUED FROM LA8T WKFE.] . |in(i \4 hkmU .-rffPTf- rrrT-f mm v ? V RICUABD TKADON. This gentleman was a native of the citv of Charleston, and a graduate of the South Carolina College. 3?W many j*ears he ewercised an extensive influence over tho State of S -nth Carolina and the Southern States as editor of the Charles ton Courier. lie was a most efficient. and able writer on various subjects. At one time he spoke ot collecting his essays, and publish ing them in two or three volumes. Mr. Yeadon was 4 lawjer, and stood deservedly high at the Charleston Bar, a Bar always distinguished for its learning, talents and eloquence. Hie professional income was very large from his admission to the Bar till the close of lm life. He was one of the most laborious tnen I ever knew, >?1 j . .u J _ 1 ? 1 iiiiu couiu reau, write una smuy all night, and ill the morning appear us fresh and bright as it' his repose had not been disturbed? Ilia preparation in his cases in court was minute and exhausting At the same time he was writing for his paper most elaborate editorials. F??r several years, ho was a distinguished and useful member ot the Legislature. In the discharge of his duties in the House and on committees, he was prompt, diligent and laborious. Mr. Yeadon commenced life poor, and by his honest industry and devotion to his profession and newspaper, he had accumulated before the warjfc an estat - worth three or four hundred thousand dollars. Whilst staying at his house during the Commercial Convention in Charleston many years before the war, ho showed me his income receipts, which then amounted to nearly thirty thousand dollars annually. T.iey were largely increased after that time. But the war came, ami two-thirds of his ostato wore lost. The wreck of his fortune though at his dcu'h, when collected, realized one hundred and twenty or thirty thousand dollars lie left no child to inherit his name and loi'tunc. His adopted son and nephew who took' liis name was killed during the war. But notwithstanding this large accumulation ot fortune, Mr. Yeadon was a most generous, charitable and liberal geutlemue throughout life. lie gave on all occasions with ulilteral hand where duty required. To hid relations, he was extremely kind, ar.d shared wiih thetn his priucolv fortune.? At Ids own expense he went to Boston and brought Inane the remains of his distinguished friend, Hugh S. Legare. He performed in farr, the same-service to those of Preston S. B'Ooks. Daring ^he war, ho uniformed and titled put a handsome and gallant company of Infantry, which assumed the jiume of the Yeadon Guards. After th^infamous cdndnct of General Butler, at New Orleans, and his attrocknis insult to the ladies of the Cresent City, he offered 4 reward ot ten thousand dollars fop Butlers head. When'one of his nieces' was married, he presented her with a house and lot in Charlestonf worth eight or ten thousand dollar^ ilr Vendon's hospitality was pntJunjjjJpd. Mfttfy "of "his friends gnd acquainthiicoh made his lumto their hotne vphilst in town. His entertainments wero frequent, extensive and elegant. I have,- on several occasions, shared thctrt, And jknow how han/jgorqo and agroea ble they wero-^ Mr. Yeadon was g ryry pleasant and jo.* 6ns coin panion when not depressed in spir its and feelings. But he was, nnforInnately, gnbiept to gppjfc of mel anolioly and despondency without adjr cause whatever. It was said of him with a groat doal of truth i that "be waaalways in the garret oeMgnw s?

The election at that time was going on in Charleston, and Yeadon headed the ticket. Tlnsadelighted Idm terry much. Col. SeyimJur' was the last member elected on the ticket, lie and Yeadon roomed together in Co lumbia, and inclining their wit at each f>tber, Yeardon used to call hitn his tail. Nothing delighted Yeadon fnore than a pun. I once said to him lie'a as "my mentor." lie was pleased with the expression, and afterwards introduced me to Mrs. LeConte as his * tclemachus." Thereupon Mrs. LeConte said your " tall Amicus." This pun was treasured up by him, and repeated often in my presence. Whilst a member ot the Legislature, he kept house o; c or two sessions. anfl Hl'flrv dav hod a nnvlu , j ...... " t " *7 of friends to dine with him. On one occasion, after tlio cloth was removed, and the wines were in tree circulation, Mr. Yeadom stinok the table will* the handle of his knife to call the attention of his guests, and said that he had a curious document to rend them which was written by his friend Perry, tei. or twelve years previ ously. My curiosity was some what excited to know what it was. He then prefafted by saying, that a client of ids wfU once in Greenville and employed n.c to transact some law business there. Th'e client's wife having died before the busi ncss was perfected, ho had to employ him to do the business over ugajn, for which he charged hi mi one hundred and fifty dollars.? 'l'he client complained of his charge, and exhibited a receipt of miue.tor precisely the same services. After receiving his fee of one hundred and tittv dollars, he begged his cl ient fori he receipt I had given hiui for the same services. My receipt 6t:Sied minutely inv charge, wliich amounted to ten dollar*, u\\ told I was once dining with Mr. Yeadou at Mr. Poinsett's, when Yeadon with great feeling remark ed tlmt his. greatest mortification in lifo, was that hib political principles and judgment as to the true interests ot Smith Carolina, had always thrown him in opposition to what seemed the public sentiment of the State, lie loved his State as much as any of her son*, and would sacrifice himself tor bor as quickly its any one. And yet, all lus hie, ho hud been taunted as a snrt of traitor to the land of his birth, when he knew and felt that his love for South Carolina, hud alone urged hi in to pursue tiie policy lie did. |u 1800 and 1851 the political excitement in South Cur iiua in favor of secession and dia union became so violent and over whelming, mat every newspaper in tiie State yielded to the popular storm and the Charleston Courier amongst them. 1 was grvatly chagrined and mortified when I bhvV this, and' \vr6te my frieffd Yeadon in to .. --- - w.vi V'W %vr *MV ?MII? biing and full ot ilie Courier It distressed liim beyond measure.? Tne proprietors ot the Charleston Courier determined to direct its fottue course,, and save its paripn- ! age. Mr. Yeadon was not respon sible tor its summerset. Tins muzzling tuo press and silencing all opposition to tho revolutionary movement of the State by a systurn of terrorism, determined a tow gentlemen In Greenville to*start a Jjxjiott papef and bid dctianeo to tlio storm. In a few months it was manifest that thoitsMiids of the best aifcd most intelligent men in the State sympathised with the movement inf Gregnville, and at the fa)l elections it was ascertained that ^ large majesty of the State was opposed to sepasato seeession.

Tiik Way to Taxe It.?THere ire different ways of taking a joke. I3ut evidently the right and philosophical method is to receive it with becming good grfce and ;$ood humor. Whenever we do ihis we place before lis a shield from which the pointed witticism glances, and falls harmlessly to"the ground. The pungency of a joke exists in n great measure in the mortification and bad grace which characterizes the victim of jocose allusions. And the perpetrators of jokes lose half of the enjoymojit of the occasion when in a spirit of situplo good nature we receive i ho harmless shafts.
