Tho Ladies arc especially invited to
examino their stock before buying.
They will always strive to keep goods
suited to tho tasto of tl?e Ladies of
our District. In the DrcRS Goods Department
they havo beautiful plain,
striped and plaid Poplins, DeLancs,
Empress Cloths, Reps, Flannels,

Flannel, DeBagcs and Silks. They

Abbeville can boast of as fine a >
Millinery llouso as any in in the <
Stato of South Carolina?in fact, as |
fine as any in any city, North or s
South. The stock will comparo with
any Retail llouso in Charleston, Bui- c
timore or New York. The Ladies t
can have no pica for sending off for (
their millinery any longer, for Messrs. t
Fowler & McDonald can show as prct- c
ty goods, as tine goods, as stylish i
goods as can be found in Baltimore 1
or New York. And, besides, they c
can prove their prices to be from 25 i
to 50 percent, lower than city prices.
They have every style of Hat and
Bonnet that is out. Should anv now
/
and novel ?t3-le make its appearance
in New York, they have arrangements
by which lo get it immediately,
hence there is no necessity for the Ladiet
of Abbeville to pay city prices
when they can do better at home.
Mrs. Saasard has had experience,
both in Europe and America, and, we
think, has the coniidence of every
Lady of taste in Abbeville. She is
assisted by Mrs. Jno. A. Wier whose 1
good taste and skill in this Department
is well known to the Ladies of
Abbeville, and will always be pleased
to see her friends at thg 'Emporium of
of Fashion. Mrs. Sassard ai:d Mrs.

CARE OF INFANTS AT NIGHT.
From the Note Book of an Eminent
Physician.
It is said that Sir Edward Codrington,
when a young officer at
Toulon, was eo anxious to distinguish
himself that ho passed the
greater part of the day on the deck,
watching for signuls to give intelligence
of the movements of the
French vessels, and when he retired,lie
sank inio a sleep so profound
that the loudest noises did not
awake hira; but when the word
"signal" was whispered in his cabin
he immediately sprang up. This
anecdote proves how sleepless in
the midst of theprofoundest slumbers
is that faculty of the sou!
which for the time being is intensely
excited.
The same truth is well illustrated
iu the case of the mother. She is
the most sleepless person in the
household. For months, and often
for years, she does not enjoy two
consecutive hours of sleep. But it
is not the noises in the' street, nor
anxiety, nor nervousness, that disturb
her repose. She can sleep
soundlj when others arc made
wakeful by unusual sounds or voices.
But there is one sound, one voice,
more potent in her ears than all !
others; it is the voice of her child.
When that is heard even iu the
faintest whisper, sho arouses from
the deepest sleep: how insensible
she may be to other voices, that
one never fails to be heard by her
quick ear.
Mothers often relate that, long
after their children have grown to
manhood and womanhood, they are
startled from their slumbers by the
old and familiar erics of their babyhood.
This instinctive wakefulness of
tho mother to the wants of her
child teaches a most important lessen
in the care of children at night.
It is a growingpractiee in our first-.
nlncc fo m i 1 * a? *?? 4.11.. 1*? 1
viima 1UIUII1I.O IU UVJIIIIIUU lllU Illliint
to the care of the nurse at night,
that the mother may not be disturbed,
but may have hep regular and
full amount of sleep. This is done
under the pretence that the mother's
health requires that her night's
rest should not be broken by the
care of the child. Except in extraordinary
cases, there is no truth in
the assertion; if the mother and
child are iu ordinary health, the
proper care of her infant at night
does not tax the mother beyond her
Strength : while the iiulirinim nnro
of the child by the mother diminishes
greatly the irritability and
restlessness ot the former.
But there are certain positive
evils and dangers atttending the
care of the infant by a nurse at
night. It will prove, in nine cases
out of teu, that the nurse considers
her own sleep of paramount importance,
and in about the proportion
given it will be found that she manages
to obtain it. In the first place
her affections are not stimulated by
the child, and hence her sympathies
are not enlisted in its care and welfare.
She sleeps quite unconscious
and of undisturbed by its cries.
when its plaintive voice penetrates
to the mother's ear, though iu a
distant and secluded part of the
house. Thus many a helpless infant
that has become tired of lying
in one position, and merely requires
to he changed to secure perfect
rest and }uiet cries itself asleep
from sheer exhaustion, unable to
arouse the leaden ears of its nurse.
One of the first and most dangerous
consequences of committing
the child to the care of the nurse
at night, is her liability when asleep
tr? iiuorJnn on/1 I*- ?:i1-?*
vv V*uiivt cuiuiuui iv wniiuui
hearing its stifled cries. The English
mortuary records show that
two or three hundred children are
thus killed annually.
But if the child escapes death or
injury from this cause, it is by no
means free from danger from other
ources. It is liable to be habitually
dragged to sleep. This may
and doubtless will' be regarded by
mauy as an unjust suspicion upon
their own "faithful" nurses; but
there are too many facts accumulated
againBt them to make it
doubtfnl. It must be assumed as a
truth that nurses will have their own
usyal, amount of sleep:.. If they
can not obtain it on account of the
restlessness-of the child* they soon
learn the reriaedr for Ua al?or?lAo?_

minister tho anodyne with liberal
hand every night, or at least when
they fear the child will disturb their
own slumbers. A child thus treat- 1
ed soon becomes unusually irrita- (
ble and peevish, its digestion is impaired,
its complexion is a dirty, 1
sallow hue, it sutlers from con6tipa- 1
tion, and finally sleeps soundly ^
only when under the iulluence of
its accustomed drusr. IIow manv
w 1
children in every wealthy and fash- '
ionable coranluuity, with good na- f
tive constitutions, fall into prema- i
ture decay from this cau8e, it is itn- <
possible to determine; but the cor- t
oners inquests prove that many in- i
iauts die annually from the impru- i
dent ueo of the drugs in constant 1
U80 in many nurseries. '
It can but be regarded as an axt
iom of the utmost importance in
tho rearing of children, that the j
mother should have the personal t
charge and care of them at night.
A medical \Oitcr of great experience
says: "Ilow many children
sleep the sleep of death through C
the undue administration of carmi- j
natives and other nostrums! It ?
requires the mothers greatest vigi- j
lance to prevent such weapons be- t
ing introduced into the nursery; t

BOBBY ROB'S LITTLE SERMON.
t
Yesterday morning Bobby Rob j
climcd up iuto liis grandmother's arm I

to the children in the nursery :
J r
" Beloved Hearers and Ciiil'rxn : t
?I'm goiu' to preach to you about j
ahoes. It was what my aunty told ^
me oneet, and it is true. Every morn- {
in', beloved hearers and chil'ren,
there's two pair of shoes a stand in*
by every boy's and girlH bed,?not by
the cradles, coz babies don't know
enough. Well one pair of shoes is c
nice, and makes you good natured and |
pleasant; and tho other pair is all .
wrong, and makes you just as cross as
Lirrfirs Tf vnn nnt ?' ? ??1 ?
?0??... j vv* |/uu vvn tiiU gUUU puir, I
you'll walk through tho day as good i
and cheerful as a birdy bird, and
cvcrybody'll like to hear you cOmin',
and your stop'll be just like tho music j
of a beautiful hand-organ with little ,
men and women all danciug round and t
round; aud everywhere'a you go, ,
things will seem all right and nice,
and you won't even mind having your ,
face washod, nor your hair curkd, if'
they don't pull too awful. But if you .
put on tho other pair, you won't have t
any comfort, and nobody won't want e
you, and everything will kind o' crack. t
Now, my hearers and chil'rcn, (Oh, j
Mai*y Ann! mamma eaid you musn't
jump up your witch box while any of
us was a preachin'I) Now, my hearers,
'emember these two kind of shoes
Is by everybody's bed every mornin'.
You can't see 'em ; but they are there,
and all you've got to do is to say, I'll ?

shoes, and wear 'em all day, and not
forget it, and you'll do bully. But *
just aH sure as you don't, your fcot'll c
slip into the bad shoes afore you know *
it; and then look out! 1
"Now, my hearors and ehilren, I 8
must get down. The breakfess-bell is fl
a ringin'. I want you all to 'emern- ^
ber what I just said to you,?and an- *
other thing: if you'vo got on your ^
good-natured shoes this mornin', you'll a
wait for me till I get my hair brushed,

A' Canary's Antipathy.?It may t
interest some of your readers to note t
the extraordinary antipathy for eer- p
tain colors of a pet canary-hird of d
ours. Any shade of violot or bluo C
appears to drive him mad. lie not o
only flutters, but beats himself against b
tho wires or the bottom of tho cage, t
and I really believe would kill him- r
self if tho objectionable color was v
not removed. Tho least bit of either b
of these colors is detected by him in a
a moment. One day, while my wife C
was feeding her pets, the cook came t
to speak to her, and had some ribbon v
of a violet shade to her can. Poor I v
littlo Dickey was off in a moment, *
violently beating and fluttering till t
the cap strings disappeared. We a
have tried him with almost every e
other color, and he takes no notice, C
I may add that he was brought up by n
the band, and is so tame that be te V

The most useful and interesting letters
we get here from homo arc from

This is petrified truth. Happily

jtop. Thoy seldom deal in abstractions
or homilies. Conseqnently their

ilways entertaining. Now, therefore,

PaiVATE Property IN LAW BOOKS
-A good story is told of John W.
Crockett and Jim Gibson, both ol
hem able lawyers, and in full pracico,
in .tho early days of Jackson's
purchase. They both roBided in Fulled
in Fulton, in Hickmaa county.?
)n one occasion thoy were employed
n opposite sides, in an ejectment case,
eforo a magistrate. The Court was
teld in a school house. Crocket was
eading the law to the court, and
?hen he got through, Gibson asked
iim for his book, saying that the
tatote just read was new to him
'rocket refitted to give it to him on
he ground that it was his own priate
property, and if Mr." Gibson
ranted tbo benefit of law books there
vera some for sale. The court ruled
hat the book was private property,
nd that Gibson had no right'to see it
zcept. with Mr. Crockett's coneonttibson
was now puttied, but, being a
a an of resources, he fell upon a plan
?hich completely upset Crockett^
alculati'ons- He stepped back and
oirod under a desk an old copy ' 61
foah Webster's spelling book, and in
ddrtSslng the Court be read from tfca

"Lot mo see that book." "No. yon

tuiug wry imo mis uas Dcet done in (
tbo discovey of tho anccstbotic known ,
as chloral-hydrate. When tho prop- j
er quantity is judiciously injcctcd, a ^
sound, refreshing sleep ensues, from ,
which tho patient awakes with the ,
appetite and resilient spirits which
, follow the sloop of health. It is ^aid
I to bo superior to cither, chloroform ]
and morphine, aud may bo taken with (
water, mucilage or orange-peel. It is ,
due to the experiments of Dr. Lio- (
bright, of Berlin, who first brought it
to light last July, and was introduced
, into this ceuntry three woeks ago by
Dr. Jacoby. With the exception of
tho small quantity brought by Dr.
Jacoby, there is none in tho United
St.ates, to that its success among slocplc8B
Americans remains to bo tried.
A Country Ciioie.?The 6in??ng
of a couutry choir is thus described
in a volumo called "Homespun, or
Fivc-and-Twcnty Years Af?o."
"As I look at such matters, nothing
sweeter or purer, or more delicious to
l a simple bouI, can bo conceived than
tho unaffected singing of a country
choir. There is so littlo scientific fusB
and professional palaver about it.
And tho melodies come out so full
and clear?a creation each by itself,
t rising and falling in its cadcncc liko
the steady swell of the sea ! I know
few things, for myself, moro true and
hearty. There stands the choral row,
male and female, heads orcct and
mouths oponed wide, letting out souls
and voices together ; the fiddlo squeaking
with excitement to get tho lead,
and tho hard-working choristoi', with
quick eye thrown to one sido and tho
j other, actually singing down the
whole! As to tho molody itsolf?so
simple and direct, so plaintive, so stir*
ring, filling tho houso as with a flood
from floor to ceiling, and drifting out
through tho open doors and windows
into tbo echoing street?it is enough
. to move the moat worldly heart that
' ever tried to mint itself into money.
One hardly thinks he catches such so'
raphio strains again, though he goes
* all the way from New England to
* Rome."
* Lira's Sunshine.?Tho sunshine of
I life is made up of every little beam
that is bright all tho timo. In the
nursery, in the playground in the
schoolroom, there is room all the time
for little acts of kindnesv that cost
nothing, but are worth more than
'gold or silver. To give up something
1 whore giving np will provent unhappiness;
to yield when persisting will
' ohafe and fVet others; to go a little
- around rather than come against an*
other; to take an ill word, or a cross
look, rather than resent it~these are
the ways in which clouds and storms
' are kept off, and a pleasant, smiling
' sunshine secure even in the humble
' home, among poor people, as in fami'
lies of higher stations. Much that we
' term the miseries of life would be
> avoided by adopting this rule of con
duct.

I VJU'
Horace Greeley on Farming.
At a Press Dinnor given At Delmonico's
on Saturday night, at which the
magnates of the New York newspaper
and periodical press?male and
female?were present, one of the
toasts, "Country Farming and City
Bditing," waa specially provided lor
Mr. Greeley, who, when called upon,
ropliod as follows:
I don't quite understand whether I
.v, ->
?ui uA|jtLiuu iu uumuuBirate an agreement
or a contrariety between these
two things. At any rate, if the purpoao
of the sentiment is to affirm that
:>no of theae pursuits is as delightful
and attractive as the other, I respectfully
non-concur. ]Laughter and applause.]
As to city editing, I have
something more of it than I have do
sired, and moro than I could onjoy.
&.B to my farming, there aro gentlemen
who have spoken of it rather
more freely than their limited knowledge
of tlio subjoct' would admit. I
think I have seen somo elaborate
statements of the cost of each turnip
? [laughter]?and these statements
were made by gentlemen who I was
not aware, were so attentive to the
cost of things as these calculations
would seem to imply. I havo not
mado any such calculations myself,
for I have been a little shy of doing
so. [Laughter.]
Let mo, howover, say a few words
about country farming which is a thing
very much believe in. Having done
some share of work in the world, I
lay down this proposition ; That any
man or woman who can get their
work done by eight o'clock at night
need not consider their condition a
hard one. But when the work
stretches far into the night, to elevon,
twelve, one, two, three, it beginB to bo
irksome. I find it irksome. I am not
now so fond of sitting up with a news
paper all night, or with anybody else.
This, then, I can Bay for country farming,
that while it has somo ruggod aspects,
and docs not promiso any such
brilliant and rapid advancos to fortune
as some of our friends like to achieve
in Wall-street, it is ju6t about the
safest and surest thing any one can
ongage in ; and it is moreover, a tranquil
aud certain delight to any human
being who can enjoy his own society[Laughter
and applause.] My little
place while it is nothing to brag of?
paughter]?there is this to be said
about it. I have got the most delightful
baru full of corn, rich, golden corn,
that over you saw in your lives.?
Now, that is something achieved,
something to look at. I have been at
work on the press for forty years;
and this seems to be the hardship.
Tou work for days, and months and
years, and what have you to show ?
Something, I hope, in mental growth;
something in firmness of purpose;
something in clearness of intention,
but outwardly, nothing! Thirty
years have passed away, and where is
the fVuit of all that labor ? How
can your labors compare with those
of the man who hasproduced a book?
And hero let me say that in my
judgment, no good book ever waa or
can be produced on the instigation oi
of a $50,000 check. Such books as
that of John Bunyan have been produced
by authors who nover thought
they would get a dime for them. [Applause.]
Those are the books that
live. The books that the $50,000
checks will buy?will ihcy sell? I
hope so; but the world ip .charitable
and soon forget them. Country farming
will holp also to develope one of
the phases of the question of woman's
rights?wherein I have not so full a
part as some of our friends would
wist. Country farming gives just the
right field for the development of
your energies. [Laughter.] Lots of
you are wanted to take your part in
country farming. [Rehewed laughter.]
Tou need not dispute nor olamor?there
it is. "The world is all before
you where to choose." If any lady
wants her righta-3[ am a woodchopper?I
surrender my share of
work. There' aro plenty of opportunities
; so, then, why don't some of
our frionds who want their rights
come out into the country and take
them ? There need be no controversy.
"Vfade enough is the world; and
there is work enough for all. I hope
that some of this dto and controvorsy
will roll itself abroad in the country ;
and our excellent friend, "the last
best gift," and so on, will achieve her
rights with her own right hand,
[Great applause.]

Tue Men who win Womsn.?4?0d
lias made tho sexes that women, liko
children, cling to the men; lean npon
them as though they were superior ia
' mind and body. They make them
the sans of systems, and theif children
revolve aroand them. Men are godt,
if thoy bat knew, and woman burning
incense at theso shrines. Women,
therefore, who have good minds and
hearts, want men to lean upon.
Think of their reverencing a drunkard,
a liar, a fool, or a libertine. * If a
mau would have a woman to do him
homage, he must be manly in overy
sonso; a true gentleman, not after tho
Chesterfield school, but golite because
his heart is full of kindness to all; ono
who treats her with respect, even, deference,
because she is a woman ; who
never coudescends to say silly things
to her, who brings her up to his level
if his mind is above hers; who is never
over auxious to do right, who has
no time to be frivolous with her.
Always dignified in speeoh and act,
who never spends too much upon her:
nevor yields to temptation, even if she
puts it in his way; ambitious to make
ma mam iu the world, whether bho
encourages him or not; who is never
fumiliar with her to tbe extent of be*
ing an adopted brother or cousin;
who is never over-carcful about drese;
alway pleasant and considerate, but
always keeping his place of tho man
?tho head, and never losing it. Such
deportmont, with noble principals,
good mind, energy and Industry, will
win any woman in tho world who ia
worth, winning.

Simplicity in Beauty.?The late
Filz Greene Hallock said : "A letter
fell into my hands which a Scotch eervent
girl had written to her lover.
Its stylo charmed me. It was fairly
inimitable. I wondered how in her
oircumstacos in life, she could hav? acquired
so elegant a style. I showed
the letter to some of my liteiary
friends in tho city of New York, and
they unanimously agreed that it was
a model of boauty and elegance. I
then determined to solve the mystery,,
and 1 went to the house where she
was employed, and asked her how it
wan mat, in bar bumble circumstances
in life, she acquired a style that the*
most cultivated mhaAt could not bat
admire. 'Sir/ said eh*'I oaiaa Uy this
country four years ago*. Then 1 could
not read or write. . Bot since them X
havo learned to read and wrdta^bot 1
have not yet learned to spell ;jso always
when I sit down to write a let*
ter, I select these words which are so
short and simple that I am sore to*
know how to spoil them. There vai
the whole secret. The reply of that
imp)e minded Scotch girl condensed
a world of rhetoric into a nut shell.
Simplicity is beauty. Simplicity is
power. -w

reported in Ohio. A city man, accustomed
to lodge in one of the koslest
