ALEXANDER, ' tf Dentist. ? '1 A Story for Married Polks. Andrew Lee came home from his shop, where he had worked all day, tired and out of spirits; came home to his wife, who was also tired and out spirits. "A smiling wife and a cheerful home? paradise it would be," said Andrew to himself, as he turned his eyes from the clouded face of Mrs. Lee and and sat down with kni.ted brow, and moody aspect. Not a word was spoken by either. Mrs. Lee was getting supper, and she moved about with a weary step. "Come," said she at last, with a sideglanco 1 l_ __ I l at, ner nusDana. Andrew arose and went to the tablo. -tempted?to epoak mv angry word, but controlled himself and kept silent. He could find no fault with the chop aud homemade bread, nor the fragrant tea. They 1 would have cheered his inward man, if there had been a gleam of sunshine on fhe face of the wife. He noticed she did not cat. , _ i"( "Are you not well, Mary ?" These words wore on his lips, but lie did not utter them, for the face of his wife looked so repcllant, that ho feared an irritating reply. _ . And so, in moody silence, the twain sat together, until Andrew finished his supper. As he pushed his chair back, his wife arose and commenced clearing off the table. "This is purgatory," said Lee to himself, as he commenced walking the floor of their little breakfast-room, with his hands thrust into his trowser pockets, and his chin almost touching his breast. After removing and taking the things into tho kitchen, Mrs. Leo spread a green cover over the table, and placing a freshly trimmed lamp thereon, wfent out and shut the door after her, leaving her husband .k L.nn wifVi Lio t*?nr\lnncnnf ^nnlinfra 1 fn UIVI1V HI' \i UIO Uli|UUUOUIIV AAV took a long deep breath and as he did so paused in his walk stood still for some moments, and then drawing a paper From his pocket, sat down by tho table, opened the sheet and commenced reading. Singularly enough the words upon which his eyes rested were, "Praise your wife." They rather tended to increase the disturbance of mind from which he was suffering. "I should like to have some oe.casion for praising mine." How quickly his thoughts expressed that ill-natured sentiment! But his eyes were on the paper before him, and he read on: "Praise your wife, man: for pity's sake give her a little encouragement, it won't hurt her." Andrew Lee raised his eyes and muttered : "Oh, yes, that is all very well?praise is cheap enough. But praise her for what ? His eyes fell agian on the paper: "She has made your .home comfortable, your hearths bright shining, your food agreeable; for pity's sake tell her you thank her, if nothing more. She don't expect it. It will make her eyes wider than they have been for ten years, but it will do her good for all that, and you too." It seemed to Andrew as if this sentence was written expressly for him and just for the occasion.' It was a complete answer to the question, "Praise her for what ?" and he felt it also a rebuke. He read no further, for thoughts came too busy and in a new direction. Memory was convincing him of injustice to his wife. "She had always made his home as comfortable as she could make it, and had he ottered the slightest return ot praise or commendation ? Ilad he ever told her of the satisfaction he had knQwn or the comfort he had experienced ? He was not able to recall the time or occasion. As he thought thus, Mrs. Lee came in from the kitchen, and, taking her work-basket from the closet, placed it 011 the table, and sitting down without speaking began to sew. Mr. Lee glanced almost steathily at the work in her hands, and saw it was a bosom of a shirt, which she was stitching neatly. He knew that it was for him that she was at work. "Praso your wife." These words were before the eyes of his inind, and he could not look away from them. But he was not ready for this yet. lie still felt moody and unforgiving. The expression of his wife's face he interpreted to meau ill-naturo for which had 110 patience. Ilis eyes foil upon the newspaper that was spread out before him, and he read the sentence : "A kind, cheerful word spoken in a gloomy house is the little rift in the cloud that lets the sunshine through." Lee struggled with himself a little while longer. His own ill-nature was to be conquered first, his moody accusing spirit had to be subdued. lie thought of many things to say, and feared to say them, lest his wife should meet his address with a rebuff. At last, leaning toward her and taking hold of the shirt bosom at which she was at work, he said in a voice that was carefully wodulatad with kindness: "You are doiug the work beautifully, Mary." Mrs. lico made no reyly. But her husband did not fail to notice that she lost almost instantly, the rigid crectucss with which she had been sitting, nor that the motion of the needle had ceased. "My shirts arc better made and whiter than those of any other man in the shop," encouraged to go on. "Arc they ?" Mrs, Lee's voice was low,, aiid/hadin it n alight huskincss. : fehe;did not. turn Iipp Knf linr Vinclvirwl aiw flint. she leaned toward- him,- lie had broken tho ice of reserve, and all was easy now. His hands4were $mong the clouds, and a feeble ray was already struggling 'through the rift it had made. ; vYes Mary," he answered softly, "and I have heard it more than once said what a good wife Andrew Lee must have." , . "Did you ?" was all she said. "Yes, darling," was his warmly spoken answer ; and he stooped down and kiBscdhcr. "How strange you should ask me Buck a question!" r >"If you would tell me so now and then, Andrew, it would do me good," Mrs Lee arose, and leaning her facc against the manly breast of hor husband, stood and wept. > * What a strong light broke in on the mind of Andrew Le? I He had never given his wife even the small reward of praise for .the loving interest she had manifested daily until doubt of his love had entered her soul .and made the light around her thick darkness. No wonder that her face grew clouded, or that what he considered moodiness and illnature took possession of her spirits. "You are good and true, Mary; my dwn dear wife. I am proud of you, and my first desire is for your happiness. Oh, if I could always see your face in sunshine, my hunic would be the dearest place on earth." "How precious to me arc your words of love and praise, Audrcw," said Mrs.. Le?^ Binding up through her tears into his face, "with them in my cars my heart can never bo in shadows. How easy had been the work for Andrew! Ho had swept his hand across the clouded horizon, and now the bright sunshine was gleaming down and flooding that home with joy and beauty. The Winusboro' Nows says: "Henry Houston, who was convicted of the murder of Wm. Powell, near Itidgeway, in this county, at the last session of the court suffered the extreme penalty of the law yesterday, the 26th inst. He was attended to his place of execution by Rev. Peter Pickens and Rev. Pickett, colored. On the gallows he begged all present to take warning by himself, and expressed himself ready to die; at twenty minutes to one o'clock the trap fell, and the soul of Houston was launched from time to oteruity. He lmng twenty-five minutes when Dr. Ladd pronounced the body dead. It was then taken in charge of by bis friends, and carried to Ridgcway where the crime was committed.

Governor Jewell, of Connecticut states that for every dozen marriage J in that State, there is one divorce... Society in the North has suffered most disastrously from the demoralizing effects of the law of divorce. "Women are divorced *Voin their husbands, in some cases before they are aware of the intention of the husbands to separate from them .?The* marriage tie loose, indeed, where it may be thrown off so readily; and deplorable is the conse jnent loss of digniiy and solemnity of the marriage ceremony, which is vital to the virtue andcrdcr of society. Discovery op a Vessel Embedded Six Feet Below the Surface of the Earth.?Yesterday, says the Savannrm Aftnnriitrr nf the 19th instant. while the dredge boat, in charge of Captain J. S. Kennard was. engaged in excavating the embankment from in front of-the proposed entrance to the new dry dock, about six feet below the surface, and at a distance of about seventy-five' feet from low water mark, a small vessel was discovered embedded in the solid earth. After removing tho top earth sufficiently, the craft was discovered to be that of small schooner. Ilcr masts, which projected lengthwise towards the riter from where she had careened, were taken out of. her. Tbc^e is no telling how long tho, vessel' has been juried from sight, in all probability, since the days of Oglothorpo. As she now lies seventy-five feet from low water mark, it wouzd seem natural-to suppose that at the time she was placed there the tide reached that mark, anil consequently, that at some remtoe period the river was much wider than at present. It is hoped some further developments in relation to tiiu nruft nmw lour! fn hor'indrtntififrftt.inn nr at least the discovery of her age. Could the latter fact be discovered, some interesting speculations might be indulged in relative to the gradual filling up of the river along the city front. A Skillful Surgical Operation.?A very skillful and successful surgical operation. that of the transfusion of blood froiu a lamb to a human body, was performed in this city on last Friday afternoon by Drs.-d. j F.King and J. E. Winants. The subject was a colored man, an inmate of the City Hospital, who has bccu suffering for some time past and who has lately seemed in danger of death from'mere exhaustion. When laid upon the table he was too weak to talk? and appeared to have but a few hourSleft to liiin. When his vein was opened but one drop of blood fell from it. The carotid artery of the lamb was opened and the blood of the lamb was forced thence, by the palpitation of the animal's heart, through a small tube, into the patient's cephalic vein. In this wiiv about, oiirlit ounces of blood was conveyed from the lamb to the man. The operation was entirely satisfactory in its remits, and the patient is now doing very well. This is. >ve believe, tlio first operation of the kiud ever porfonned in this city,- und we arc sure that it has ever before been attempted in the State. It was u delicate one, and will ho.well worthy of a full report in some of the surgical journals of the day. Witniiiiyton Journal. RullbfFs brain weighed fifty-nine ounces, boing nine and a bait or ten ounces heavier than the average weight. The heaviest brain ever weighed was that of Cuvier, the French naturalist, which is given by some authorities at sixty-five ounces, and by some at sixtyfour ounces. The brain of Daniel Webster (partly estimated on account of a portion being destroyed by disease,) weighed sixtyfour ounces. The brain of Dr. Abercrombc, of Scotland, weighed sisty-three ounces. | What Masonry Teaches Me. : ' A Few days sinco a gentleman outside the Masonic Fraternity asked us what "Masonry taught.

As a youth was leaving his Christian home for the temptations of eollego life, n pious and beloved sister put into his hand a parting note. Words of sisterly affection and interest were followed by this brief appeal: 'fDcur brother: If at the hour of twilight you arc tempted to go anywhere or engage in anything that would dishonor your parents or your God, remember, I entreat you. your sister is pleading for you at the throne of grace.. That lfour shall be with me hallowed time, devoted to God on your account." * Months passed; and the student won a fair name by his exemplary deportment and attention to study; his sister, untiringly riWflnrl with God for his conversion. At length a precious letter came, bearing the hope that he had found a Saviour. Acknowledging a debt of gratitude to the teachings and prayers of his father and mother, he "says to his sister : ''Among the many influences which, I hope, have been instrumental in leading mo to JesuSj none is more signal than a consciousness I have that you, my dear sister, was daily bearing me in your heart at a particular hour. When tempted to join my associates in some forbidden pleasure, or to spend an evening in an unprofitable manner, a voice seemed to say to me, 'Beware; your sister is praying for you.' I tried to put it away; I I buried myself in'my books to drown the voice I of conscience, but it grew louder and louder. ! A.i+w.ivd nrrmrirOv would not satisfy me, and v I had no rest until I began to pray myscif. I had bitter struggles with my wicked and proud heart. The way of salvation seemed hard and impossible, but I could not turn back. God has heard your prayer, my beloved sistor, and I shall always feel that I owe very iuuch to you." Ah, sister,' brother, friend, you know not the power you wield over thoso brought up at your side.. The love of liome and fric nds even if unsanctificd, may do much; but you know the way to the throne of graeo may encircle a cherished ono with these strong cords of love and influence which,, by God's blessing, shall not be broken cvon by temptation and sophistry in their most wily forms. You may thus win the joy of those' who save a soul from death and hide a multitude of sins.

It does this fairly and admirably, but io does noro. Under its operation, interests as well is mere numbers may be secured in a propter representation. For instance, if the mercantile, the mechanical, or the agricultural interest in any community should deem it important to placo in position a special advocate, it could generally be accomplished by the jystem of cumulating votes upon a certain JI J _x . *n _a aI. _ 1 n juuuiuaic. r or instance, me inorcnanis ox Columbia desire to send a merchant to the Legislature to represent their specific interests. They arrange to cumulate their votes? to concentrate their etrength?upon a certain man, aud the result would be his election. In the same way, it is possible for the mechanical element, or the farming element, ir any other considerable element to secure representation at one and the same timo. rhus, in ltichlaud, it would be possible for this County to be represented in the Legislate by a merchant, a mechanic, a farmer and a professional man, all at the same time. Let. now, such a system as this prevail all over this country. "We mean such a system as will give due representation to numbers and also to interests. And who can fail to see what a change would be produced in the tone and character .of our Legislature by the delegations m out representative' bodies being the geuine and intelligent exponents of all the elements that make up the body poll tic. , " -r . In our Judgment, the cumulative-system of voting is deatided, sooner or later; tp Work a revolution in our public affairs. It iS yet in its infancy. - The system - iff not^very federally understood. It may be, and ho doubt ia, susceptible o mocuncation, 'bt .improvement, or amendment.

Nor do we hesitate to say that ft. comes .to US at a critical periee in OUT experiment of self-geverninenf, under the auspices of unlimited sirfEage.-- Ofoourse, we do mot mean to -affirm that anyByatem of vet- * ing can prevent the deolipe uf a people, or the destruction .of a* government wjleti co^ ruption has laid.hold of the vitals ofa-conn-try?whon the moral forces of tho people faiL to keep life in the body politic. A Condition like this no governmental principal, however wise or just,, can remedy. But assuming that the public virtue and the publicf intelligence aroexerting their jut share of influence, and are strong enough to prevent an organic disease from fastening" itself on the political body, a conserving clement, like that involved in proportional representation, both or numbers and mtejests, must play a most important part in the solution of the yet untried problem of .self-governmant. ^ clever men h^^gHH^pPmited' more vigor earnest, the study of qitfukl philosophy.

Alficri, whose writings have caused a revolution in the dramatio Htcratnre of Italy, was left without a father in his infancy, and wasted his Jearly years. John Ogilby, an author of poetical transactions from Virgil and Homer, began the study of Latin when about forty years of age, and Greek in his forty-fourth. Boccaccio, one the most illustrious writers that ever appeared in Italy, suffered nearly half of his life to pass without improvement. Handql was forty-eight before ho published any of his great works. Dr. T. Arnold, of Rugby, learned German at forty, in orderthat lie might read Niebuhr in the original. Too Many Names.?Quito a funny incident occurcd at the Radical meeting^on Monday night. Our old friend Lydtck charged the colored brethren to register correctly. lie said: "Some of you have so many names, and you register in one name, forget it, and then attempt to vote in another. Now, when you register, get somebody to write down the name ami put it in if/Mii* nnfflrnt.lwil- flinti trlinn vnn tn flio polls to vote be sure to refer to the name in which you registered, and vote by that name." Brother Lydick was very emphatic, and tried hard to beat this idea into the woolly heads of his colored brethren. But what a commentary i, this on the once glorious privilege of suffrage!
