EDGEFIELD ADVERTISER SUPP LEHEN T. EDGEFIELD, S. C., DECEMBER 20, 1865. ti* I wish I was an Editor. I with I wai an editor I really do indeed ; It seems to mo that editors Get everything they need. They get tho biggest and the best Of everything that grows, And get in free to circuses And other kind of shows ; And when a mammoth cheese is cut, They always.get a slice, For saying Mrs. Smith knows how To mako it very nice. The largest pumpkin, longest beet, And other garden stnST, Is blown into the sanotum by An editorial puff. The biggest bug will speak to them, No matter how they dress A shabby coat is nothing-if You own a printing press. At Ladies' Fairs they're almost hugged By pretty girls, you know, That they may crack up' everything The ladies havo to show. And thus they get a blow-out free At every party feed Thc reason is-because they write, And other people read. * 4* ??--" Artemus Ward's Autobiography. BT HIMSELF. Nu YORK, SEAR FIFTH AVBNOO HOTEL, ) Org.31ct. j Dr, Sir :-Yrs, into which you ask m< to send you sum l?adin incidents of m j life so you can write my bogirfry for th( papers, came dooly to hand. I have nc doubt that a article onto my life, gramat tycally jerked and properly punctooated would be a addition io the choise litera toor of the day. *.*.** I wa- born in the State of Maine, ol parents. As a infant, I attracted a great deal of attention. Thenabers would stand over my cradle for hours, and say, "How brite that little face looks. How much he nose !" The young ladies would car ry me round in thare arms, saying I was " muzzer's bezzy darlin, i:nd sweety 'eely 'ittle ting." lt was nice, though I wasn't old enufTto appreciate it. I'm a healthy old darlin now. 1 have al I us sustained a good moral ksracter. I was never a railroad director in my life. Al tho in early life I did not invariably confine mysolf to truth in ray small bill, I have bin gradooly grown respect&bler and respectabler every year. I luv my children, and never mistake another man's wife for my own. 1 am not a member of any meetin house, but "I firmly believe in meetin houses, and shouldn't feel safe to take a dose of laudnum. and lay down, in the street of a village that hadn't any, with a thousand dollars in my vest pocket. My tempermentis billious, altho I don't owe a dollar in the world. I am a early riser. My wife is a Pres byterian. 1 may add that I am also bald hedded. I keep two cows. I live in Baldinsville, Indiany. My next door naber is old Steve Billins. Ile tell you a little story about old Steve that will make you lar? He jined the church last spring, and '.he minister said. u You must go home now, brother Billins, and erect a family altar in your house," whereupon the egrejisold cuss went horne and bilt a reglar pulpit in hissettin room. He had the jiners in his house every four days. 1 am 56 (56) years of age. Time with his relentless scythe, is ever bizzy. He gathers 'em in-he gathers 'em in. I keep a pig this year. I don't think of ennything more, Mr. Editir. If you should give my portrait in con nection with my biogfry, please have me engraved in a languishing attytood, lean ing on a marble pillar-leaving in my back hair as it is now. Trooly yours, . ARTEMUS WARD. 1 .? - v NOT SO ENCOURAGING.-The Celestials do not take very kindly to Christianity. With twenty-four missionaries and twelve native helpers in China, the American Foreign Mission organization, ieports " the baptism of a first convert," a man who was "of respectable condition." Millions of money, contributed in the United States to convert the Chinese and the result is a solitary baptism ! Half the money would have secured the bap tism of ten thousand worse than heathen here at our own doors. A Youngster, four years old, being ask ed by his parents if he had said his pray ers it night, during his absence from home, replied, " No, but I counted a hun dred !" There is no safer protection against burglars than to feed your baby before going to bed with green apples. THEOLOGICAL!-Many years ago, when new sects in New England began to break the good old congregational barries, and make incursions into the sheepfolds of the regular clergy, a reverend divine, whom I well knew-a man at once of infinite good sense and good humor-encountered one of these irregular practitioners at the house of one of his flock. They had a pretty hot discussion on their points of difference and at length the interloper, finding more than his match at polemics, wound up by saying : " Well, Doctor, you'll at least allow that it was commanded to preach the Gospel to every critter ?" " True," rejoined the Doctor ; " true enough. But then I never did hear it ^?as commanded to every 'critter' to preach the Gospel." THE SUFFRAGE - QUESTION.-Pete. Cuff, what does de white folk? niean when dey torks about giving us kulled geramen de Electric Francis ? * Cuff.-You's wrong. Pete, you's .wrong in your pronuncification. It isn't de Elec tric Francis, it am de Elcctum French ease^-which is de same as de Right ob Sofferin. ' Pete-Well, old fellar, we's had de wrong ob sufferin' 'bout long enuff, and for my part, I doesent want no more of no kinder sufferin'. Cuff.-Pete, you's a ignoranimus. De Right ob Sufferin* means going to de poles and kissin de buck, and puttin' bal lads in de ballad boxes, and singin' and hoorayin', and gettin' treated with Bore bung and Mungoheeler whisky, same as de poor white trash does. Pete.-Oh ! dat's it, is it ? And how much is we to get for our trubble, Uncle Cuff? Cuff.-Same as de poor white folks I speck it 'pends on wot votes is wuth in de market. I reckon 'bout free dollars apiece. Pete.-You doesn't say so, Cuff! Den I goes in for de Electric Franois jam up to de handle. It am poplar wid dis child, it am. Gorramitey bress de Electum French-ease and 'Merican independence ind de Bar Strangled Banner. Yah ! ?ah! Yah! A Tennessee pardon seeker gives the ollowing. description of how he obtained lis pardon: Had a personal interview with the Chief Magistrate, and asktd him br a small pardon, if he had any more eft. Chief Magistrate wanted to know ?vhat position I held in the rebel army, The answer was faint, somewhat hesita ling, somewhat sh*?ky-I .said : " Quar erniaster." Chief Magistrate chuckled, md turned his head to conceal a sardonic mile. " My ancient and venerable friend," ie said, " if you think that your depart nent of the rebellion endangered the Un on cause, your innocence is a pardon in ts?lf." If Brigham Young's one hundred wives ivor their lord with Curtain Lectures, rhat, oh what, must be the nature of Young's Night Thoughts." Law Notice. FL.
