A G-OD JOrE.-Our readers will enjoy the stvic in which it is related, not less than the joke, which occurred in the South Carolina fouse of DelegatCs a short time since: The C.lamlia correspondent of the Charles ton im dcares that while the appropria tion bill was under consideration, a certain TepresentLative from Newberry, who is "a chronic case;" in the Legislature, and whom every one who was connected with that body at any period ten years before the war, will remember as the scarnation of good humor, and reco-nize under the familiar name of "Cr is," moved that an appropriation of three silver doliars be made for the wifu of the door keeper, to her own exclusive use and benefit. The uith of the fun lies in the anecdote which tie oki gertlenan referred to, who, by the way, is a gallant old soldier, and has a kindly heart under a pretty rough exterior, tell on himnself as follows: It seem-is that some years since, being a lit tle given to cock-fighting, (which he can't help, as he hails from Edgefield,) he went to Eamburg, very much against tne consent of his better-half, to indulge in his favorite a musement, and, indulging a little too freely, he lost all his money and borrowed from a friend to enable him to return home. On ariv ing at his house late at night he went imredi atelv to his chamber, aroused his good lady,and was received pretty coolly, as she suspected, and justly, that he had gambled away his sub stance. In fact, she refused to speak to him, and quietly rolling ovcr in bed, turned her back cn her liege lord. Not at all discom posed, friend G. walked to the bureau, opened his favorite drawer, and taking out of his pocket three silver dollars, the last be had left, commenced dropping them in and steal ing them out, meanwhile counting one, two, three, four, five, and so on. Mrs. G. contain ed herself under the operation, ignorant of the deception, until be had reached to a hun-. dred and fifty in his count, when utterly un able to conceal her gratification at his sup posed gain, and anxions to conciliate him, she rolled over with the exclamation, "Old man, that blue hen of yours turned out this evening a dozen of as pretty chickens as you have ever seen." Hence the jok e. OE TO A WOOD SELLER.-Wood seller, 'tis too much to ask for that crow's nest; and our finances ndw are such ve can't that sum invest. Five years ago six bits would buy, an half cord of fat pine-the same amount of h'ard word try-superior far to thine. Internal revenue-does it, attach to oak and pine; and must you on a red stamp spit, and stick to logs like thine? What is the cause, do tell us pray, that makes you ask us four, dollars per load-of-gum or bay, drawn by a team so poor? Have greenbacks got at a discount, and specie plenty, too, that you demand such an a-mount as will our purse out do ? Drive on thy fuel, heartless fiend-drive on thy load of wood ; may heaven on thee a snow storm send,when wood could do nic good! Our heniess coop~ and pigless pen, arnd cow less shed must go, before we give the pr,ice, though then the easith was robed in snow. Drive on that. sorry load of' wood until you fnt'd some fool, who has no scase, or is half slewed or never went-to-sohool. The shivering poor will p,ryythat you may find. wood? cheao below,'. apid ffrom, akd Club -foot get.your due, where aWlofi.yoet-ert go. We say, again you have no heart ao moore than 'has your wood ; avaunt: Woodselter ! and depart, if you consult year-i good l.-Co * umbusz Sun. * DomDE C:IARGED.-A god'sto)ry is told of one George Shaffer,. wha; many years ago, * lived at Portsmouth. He had once been out * shooti'g, and3 was coming bomne with his game bag empty and weary, when he stopped at the toll-house for a momnent's rest. "There's a fine lot of ducks back here in the pond," said he to the toll keeper. "What will you * let mue fire into them for ?" "Can't do it" re - sponded the toll-keeper, "I don't want to have my ducks killed." George put his gun in the toll-house, and walked back to take another Iook at the ducks. When: he w-as gone, the the-toll man, who was a wag, drew the shot from the barrel, and replaced the gun. George retuirned and renewed the question. "Well," saia the toll-man, though you ire a good shot, T [don't believe that you can hurt them much.' give me your' money, and you may fire." Tx m meyv was paid, and quite a party, who had gather-ed round, went back to witness - George's discomfiture. He raised his gun, fired, and killed nine of them. "Bless me !" edies the toll-man ; "I took the charge out of your gun." "Yes," said George, "I suppose you would. I always go double charged." ~DoN'T LIKEa Th'E Boys.--The St. Louis Repud lican gives the following part of a letter re ceived' by a-friend from a daughter nine years old, who is 'now at a boarding school, placed there because she was one of those who knew * ~ too uch to stay at home: 4:nz~ DEax FATHER: I was very glad to. bear fr-om you, and hear you are well; but I was not 'a bit glad to hear that mother had a baby, be cause it was a boy. I should be very glad if it were a little girl; I hate boys worse than - ever. Now I am going to tell you what you -ought to name him. I am going to choose a em.~elv 'name, because I don't think boys - 'ought tto have pretty names. Boys are squall ing all the time. You don't have oneni ute's pe'ace while there is a boy baby in the housie;"bot when. you have a. baby sister in - thehouse you never hear it cry. Name him - ' Peter; that is good enough for ~a boy. You must excuse me for writing so 'much about 'boys; the reason I wvote so much about boys is because I don't like them." ANcIENT TYPos.-The Lebanon (Tenn.) eg ister says that or,e of its "jours," \W. L. Bar ry, has worked at the "case" sixty-seven years, and another, W. V. Tunstall, has "fol lowed copy" fifty-five years. When death reads the last "proof sheet" for these old ty pos, he should mark "errors" with -a lenient g, and when their "forms" are "w~orked otf" they should have a "free pass" to that "office" where there is no 'jeffing" for "rule and. figure work," and "fat takes" are "hung on the hook," where the "galleys" are "pro ved" by the "foreman" and "corrected by the "assistant." the "manuscript" all good, "subs" and "sorts" plenty, and where $ and ? never "run short." They have made many and seen man-v * * in their time, and perhaps have used the t and "shooting-stick" to. "close" an argument ; but their "copy" is about "up" their "cases empty," and but little is left now but to "measure" their ' strings." Lord Shaftsbury on one occa sion was ex amining a girl's school, and just as he was about to take leave, he addressed a girl some what older than the rest arnd amuong other things mquired, "W ho made your vile body ?" "Please, my lord," responded the unsophisti cated girl, "Betsy Jones made my body, but I made the skirt mysels." A similar reply is recorded of another char ity scholar, who was under examination in the Psams, "What is the pestilence that waliketh by' daikness ?" "Pleas, sir, bugs." [LRound Table, Punctuation, or the putting of the stops in the right places, cannot be too sedulously studied. We lately read in a country paper, the f>lowing startling acco"nt of Lord Pal tnerston's appearance in the House of Com tnons : "Lord Palmerston then entered on his head, a white hat upon his fect, iarge but well polished boots upon his brow, a dark cloud in his hand, his faithful walking stick in his eye, a menacing glare saying nothing. He sat down-Punch.. LooK orr Foit Hm.-When you find a man writing his advertisement and sticking it up at the post office, or in Hotels, or on street posts, instead of publishing it in his town pa per, look out for him-the very act shows that he is too close fisted to deal with to ad vantage. This is the "frozen truth." A North Carolina editor of a weekly paper gets eff the following salutatory: "In assum ing the control of the Banner I bring very lit tle into it, and I expect to take very little out of it. But I shall try to make a substantial, readable and reliable paper. The Indianapolis Journal says there is an editor in Wayne County, Indiana, whose oath would not convict a weasel of robbing a hen roost, if found in a coop with blood in his mouth. AN AFFECTIONATE 11USBAND.-"Ah, dear doctor, how is my wife to day ?" The doctor shook his head, and said: "You must prepare for the worst." "What !" said the husband, "do you think that she is likely to get over it?" A Goon EXCUSE.-A poor fellow sent to ja:! for marrying two wives, excused himself by saying that when he had one, she fought him, but when be had two, they fought each other. It is told of Lord Norbury, that when passing sentence of death upon a man for stealing a watch, he said to the culprit, "My good fellow, you made a grasp at time, but, egad, you caught eternity." What is the difference between an acceptei and a rejected lover? One kisses his miss, and the other misses his kiss. A wag,having married a gii aamed Church, says he has enjoyed more happiness since be joined the Church than he ever did before. . The gentleman who was overtaken by a train of reflection was so completely carried away that be has not yet got back. What is that which you have not, neither wish to have, yet having one, would not take the world for? A bald head. Columbia Advertisements.

The undersigned, of the late Firm of ROBERT ADGER & CO., has this day commenced the Wholesale and Retail Dry Goods Busiuess AT No. 252 KING STREET, (IN THE~ BEND.) And offers a Stock adapted to a first class Trade. The business will be conducted strictly upon THE ONE..PRICE SYSTEM. The patronage of the friends of his Charleston Advertisements. To the MERCHANTS OF THE SOUTH, The undersigned, Wholesale Dealers, advise you of the fact that Charleston is again a market for the purchase of goods, and in view of the early opening of the spring trade, we beg to so licit the resumption of the patronage so liberally extended to this market in the past. We are aware that many old and respected firms will be missed from our number, but many familiar names will be found in new associations, ready to supply the wants of the Trade, as of yore, and other old and new firms will be added tojour number at an early day. The cash and short credit system having been universally adopt ed in all the Northern markets, we are necessari ly compelled to adopt a like system as the only safe one on which to conduct business, and the heavy percentage once necessary to cover bad debts will now be avoided. Small profits and quick returns will be the rule, and under this working we hope not only to restore to our an cient city its former prosperity, but to extend her trade to the full extent of the capabilities her ex cellent-geographical position and natural advan tages afford. Our interest and ambition combine to stimulate us in attaining this result. The South Carolina Railroad is now open to Columbia, and its President has officially in formed us that the Augusta line will be coniple ted to Blackville this month, and that on the first of February he will receive through freight to Augusta. A line of steamers to Savannah will afford facilities for shipping in that direction. It is our purpose to have in store by the last of February a complete and varied assortment of goods in our respective lines adopted to the spring trade, and every exertion shall be made to promote your interests. We extend to you the hand of commercial fel lowship, and solicit your co-operation and patron age in our efforts to make Charleston the centre of Southern trade. Give us the encouragement we ask, and you will enjoy all the advantages of a cheap home market. Dry Goods. W. T. Burge and Co. Edwin Bates and Co. J. R. Read and Co. Strauss, Vance and Co.
