"I am a little boy about so many years old; don't know whether I am a good little boy, but I'm afraid not, for I sometimes do wicked things, and once 1Icut sister's kitten's tail off with the chopping knife, and told her a big dog came along and bit it off and swallowed it down before kitty could say Jack Eobinson. and sister said she was sorry, and it must have been a very naughty dog, but my mother didn't believe me, and said she was afraid I had told a lie, and rm afraid I had too; so then she asked me if I knew where liars went to, and I said yes; that they went to New York and wrote for the newspapers; she said no-they went to the bad place where was nothin' but a lake of fire and brimstone, and then she asked me if I would like to go theie, and I said no! for I didn't think there'd be much skatin' or slidin' on that lake, and the boys couldn't snowball each other on shore, and she said it was more than that, just as though that was not bad enough, for I don't think they can play base ball there, nuther; then she :sked me if I would like to be an angel and have a harp, and I said no! Id rather be a stage driver, and have a big drum, for I coildn't play t'other thing, So I shouldn't like to be an angel, their wings must be in the way when they go swimmin' and play tag 'and leap frog; and besides, it must be hard to fy when one ain't used to it. But it would be jolly to be a stage driver, and have a long whip and touch up the leader, and say, gelang there, what are ye doin', g'on? I shouldlike that much better'n flying; and then mother said there was a dreadful stage accident, and brother Bob hollered and said he guessed I was on it, and then she whipped us both and sent us to bed without any supper, but I didn't care about supper, for they hadn't nothing but bread and butter for tea, and Bob:and I got up, aind he lift ed me into the pantry window and we got a mince pie and a whole hatful of doughnuts. and they thought it w:s the cook and sent her away the next day, and Bob said he didn't care, for she didn't make good pies, and the dough-i nuts wasn't fried enough; and some times I do swear, for I said by golly, the other day, and sister heard me, and she told mother, and mother said I was a bad boy, and would bring her grey hairs to the grave, and she whipped me, but I don't think it did her grey hairs any good, and it hurt me, and when I got up stairs I said gol darn it, but I said it so she didn't hear me, and when she asked me if I didn't think I was very wicked, I said I was afraid I was, and I was sorry ..fr it, and I wouldn't do sb *no more; and then she said I was .a good little boy andtold mue about George WVashington, who cut down the apple tree and was caught at it, and said he did it with his little hatchet, just ats though I hadn't heard all about it before and didn't think he was a big stupid for euttin' wood, when they had a hired man about the house, and dullin' his little hatchet, and be sides, it would have been a good dea~l jollier to let the trees be, so be could harve stolen apples off in the f:dl. I don't carec if he was the father of his com:try, he wasn't smart, aind I'll het you the boys of our school w ould cheat him out of his eye teetb swaxpping jack knive.s and I could lick him and( iot hardly try; I don't think he was healthy either, for I never saw a good little boy that wasn't always sick, and had the mumps, and measles, and the scarlet fever, and wasn't a coughin' all the while, and han't to take castor oil, and, tar water, and couldn't eat cherries, and didn't have his head patted till all the hair was rubbed off by every body that came to his mother's, and be asked how old lie was, and who died to save sinners, and what he had been studying a~t school, andI how far he had got, and lots of other conundrums and have to say his catechism; no, I should not like to be as good little boy; I'd just as lief be an angel and be (lone with it. Ilut I don't think I shall ever be ar good little boy, and other people don't tink so, too. for I 'wasn't never called a good little boy but once, and that was when Uncle Joaim asked me where I stood in myv class, and I told him it 'was next to head.:mnd he called me a good little 'ovr, and asked me who was in my class, :and when I told him only mec and another bov, lhe shook his head and sarid lie wa':s afrid I never would be ai good PL'er UALT.-Of t hi e vari.-us kinds of business in which thous:mds of men are engaged, there are u:any who believe that the trials, perplexities and vicissitudes of their. business are peculiarly trying and really more se rious than in any other pursuit. The road along which ever an active business man travels is a rough and rugged path, beset with "wait-a-bit" thorns, and full of pitfalls, which can only be .,voided by watchful care and circunm speetion. Each has his own burdens to bear, and each gener-ally thiniks he ihas maore than his share. duch of the annoyance and disap poiutinent incident to most kinds of commecrcial business might be av..ided if people would only keep their l'ram ises, and promptly meet their en pie"ents fThe man wlho owes a bill, s:ays: "(Call the fi-st of the mouth, anid your shallI cert:diuly have the mfoney.

The above is the title of an interest ing newspaper recently started at Mar. ion C. H. by Ferd D. Bryant. Esq., who h:s bonght the establishment of the Crescent. It's motto. is, "God save the State," and it has the ring of pure metal. We are glad to add it to our exchange list. The Edgefield Advertiser. The above excellent journal, former ly owned by Mr. D. R. Durisoe, has been recently purchased by Messrs. John E. Bacon and T. J. Adams, two Edgefleld lawyers. The editorial de partment will be conducted by Mr. James T. Bacon, its firmer editor, and Mr. T. J. Adams, who will doubtless muaiutain its high and well merited popularity. The Advertiser has al. ways k-en a welcome viritor to our sanctum. Success attend the old as well as the new regime. Rev. Robert Neumnann.. This gentleman is again in South Carolina endeavoring to forward the scheme of iamigration. Last Mon day he was in Charleston and address ed the pemplu on the subject, and yes terday he arrived in Columbia iWith the same object in view. He thinks that the tide of immigration to this State is ebbing, because the peoplo are too particular as to the laborers they order, wanting English speaking peo ple and those skilled in some special calling. The supply to such orders through his agency inmust necessatily be sumall. HIe desires that all and any number which he may send may be we I e o m ed and find employeut here. Another object of his visit is to reduce, if possible, the immigration cause to some eflict system. Rev. Neumann has done the State much good in the zealous manner in which he has advanced immigration to her shores, and we hope he will continue in his efforts and meet with success. But the people niust heartily co-ope rate. The Legi,slature. The report of the special commit tee. relativ-e to the claim of the South Carolina Bank and Trust C'impany was adopted, the committee discharged, and a concurr"tnt resolution agreed to in both houses, which instructs the State treasurer to pay the bill payable for twenty-five thousand dollars, and authorizes the attorney.general to in stitute suit against ex Treasurer P~ar ktr for the recovery of tihe vouchers belonging to the said bill. On last Thursday and Friday the House was mainly engaged in the dis cussion of the appropriation bill. Its iterpret.ation of curtailinrg expenses was shown in recousidering the appro prition of fifty thousantd to Peniten tiary and( raising it to eighty thous and. The appropriationi to the Or phan Asylum was raise d five thousand. Qui Vive says that "it is common talk that money had been used" in bring ing about these increased ap[propri.. tions. A bili he~ been introduced to authorize the appointment of addition al Trial Justices of Newberry County A recess was taken from Friday evning until 3Mouday night. T1here .no telling i,hen it will adjourn sine die. ~ Ojgigressional. The Senate. after a week's discus sion has passed the bankrupt bill; Sen ator Edmunds who htad charge of it, persistently pressed it upon the Sen ate, and refused to allow any measure to be introduced which might set it aside. for any time whatever. The bill is much moure lenient to the debtor class than the old law; one of its prin ipal features being~ that a debtor, who suspenids the payment of his pa per. cannot be forced into bankruptey under forty days. The bill reduces the fee-s of bankrutpt offieers to one half of that which ~they received un der the old law, and provides that any arrangement for a settlement bet weeni a bankrupt and his creditors shall be signed by at le..st one-half of the cred. itors represeznting one-half of the in debtedness. Suits to recover all sums under $500 may be brought in a State court, under an order fromz a Federal Judge having charge of the estate. Bankrupt officers are required to make full reports o)f all facts in connection with cases comnine before them to the D)istrict Court, and the clerk of the District Courts aire to report to the Attorney.General every year. The Army Appropriation bill, amounting to S28,246.000, passed the louse substantially as it was reported by the committee. During the dis cussion a retrenchment of $203,000 was eficeted by cutting down the ap prpritionk for tile purchase of horses $5i,000, expenses of the Ordnance Depart menit $80,000, manufacture of aris $25,000, purchase of cavalry equipments $25,000, and for manu facture of gun carriages $20,000 - The only increaso mrade was $7,000 for the Army Medical Museum Libra ry. A reduction of over $4,000.000 was made in tihe bill for the present fiscal year. Nothing can be predicted withI cer taity as to the currency question. T e '-infiatiotuists" and "contraction ists" are fighting stubbornly for their respectve views. The South and We4 gco in for more greenbacks, and it is rbble th.m they will be victo m-ious. Patros of Husbandry. Thi*_greatorer, initituted in 1867. has met with unprecedented success. There is no secret organization ib ex. istence, which, in the space of seven years, has like it assumed such gigan tic proportions arid attracted such wide-spread attention. About the middle of last December the number of lodges in the United States num bered near ten thousand, with an ag gregate membership of about seven hundred thou.a--d, but m1.w, co:.Sider ing the rpidity with which this far. niers' movement has advanced, the above figures must be much too small. Indeed, it now officially announced that there between 11,000 and 12,000 granges in the country, and they numi ber nearly 1,000,000 men. From Maine to California this organ ization is augmenting its forces in every State, and in sonme States, in every County, but it is in the West and South thnt the order has been most successful and exerted its infnu. eace most powerfully. Though hav ing no direct connection with politics, its influence has already been fe!t at the ballot by uiting inl a common cau.e the yeomanry of the com.try. It arose from the necessities of the times, from the principle ot self-pro teetion. Up to its initiation every cinsa and iuterest of society has com bined and organized for the promotion of its particular objects, except tho farwing interest. As the Georgia senator, Hon. John B. Gordon, in a recent speech in Congress, eloqueutly said: "Why should it not combine? Has not every interest combined ? Is not the money power of the country con bined, and did it not dictate the finan cial policy of 1862, which has brought such disaster to the pr.Aer, and does it not now, even at this very hour while I speak, by its delegations from Boston, from New York, and else where, block the doors of this chamber to infuence the vote of this body ? Labor combines, and receives at the hands of the government an eight hour law. The fiseries combined, and received from the Government a bounty. Manufacturers combined, and received a high protective tariff. The iron-mongers combine, and, un like the farmer's pigs which must be fattened from his own crib, they have their iron-pigs fattened from the Goverment crib. Railroads co:mbinv, and.by Government bounties and Gov ernment grants they scale the ioun tains and link with bands of steel our Easteru and Western oceans. But, sir, this great interest, which lies at the foundation of all other interests; this interest, without which no interest can survive ; this interest, which num bers among its subjects near 20,000,. 0% of the 40,000,000 of the popula tiou of the country; this interest, which bears on its Atlantean shoulders the wealth, the commerce, the manu factures and the very civilization of the country, has to-day less influence in shaping the legislation of the coun try than the fishers of the salty cod-fish on the shores of New England." But, however negligent agricultu. ralists have heretofore been onth subject of organization, the day hai come when they too see the in.portane and necessity of union, and are deter mined to reap the fruits of it. In then order of the Patrons of HIusbanmdry we see a marked exemplification of this fact, and the uawonted success which it has attained in these few years promise for it a glorious future. Somec are oppised to this muov. ment, but opponents are to be expect ed to every good. thing, and the exis teuce of' such opposition presupposes worth in the objectionable object as the existence of- counterfeits pre suppose that there arc grenuine bills somiewhere. It is thought that it is dangerous for any cl.ass to have such great power asorganization would givE to farmers; so it inight be said that, it is dangerous for a moan to be able to repel the attack of a robber, beenise the 5.tue strong armn mazy strike with cruel blows the defenceless heads of his wife and children. The stale ob jection of secrecy is sometimes urgid, but' that has been shivered intoa thousand aton-s so frequently that it is as foolish to answer it as it is ridie ulous to press it. We prefer to look on the brighi side of the question. We pnrefer to c-ontemaplate the social and intellectual advantag~es which this Order offers to the tillers of the soil, the grreat mneans it affords for thc dissemination of ag. ricultural knowledge by the interchange of views and experience. Union will enable them to carry out plans in. which individuals would fail, experi menits can be made, and imumigration promoted. The great sectional bar riers which have existed so long andc have becen so bitter, this order will tend to break down, by uniting the far mers of all sections in one com:aon brotherhood. Though they claim to have nothing to do with polities, which is em. nently proper, yet their influence will necessarily be felt in that direction. Though a candidate's name or a polit ical speech is never heard within the walls of the lodge, yet exorbitant tax ation atnd deful,:atinmg officials wili have to 6.3 down if the united voice 01 the landowners says so. We wish the grangers success in the great wurk yet to be accom plished by them. EXONExRATE.--Col. D)odamead, Superiutendent of,the Greenville and Columibia Rail Road,who was recentl2 arrested upon the order of the Coroner of ?Newberry cunty, "for crimiinal negligenee connected with the deplora ble accident which resulted in the death of Mr. Laue. was brought be. fore Judge Carpenter, under a writ of Aabeas corpas, and after mature eon. sideration of' all the circumstances o1 the case fully exonerated fmrm any nelignce c.riminl or oherwis." The Model Negro Farmer. The following highly colored picture we clip from an exchange; it i with out local habitation or name, but it is applicable in these sweet scented times anywhere. Of course there are hon orable exceptions, but they are scat. teriiig: The. model negro farmer buys an old mule or blind horse on credit, rents land either for part of the crop or so*wany bales of cotton, procures tools as best he can, buys corn, bacon, etc., for which he gives a lien on his crop. And then, about April, he coumences to prepare for planting corn, either breaking or laying off in rows, to breaking out the middle after the corn is up. Corn planting over, he proceeds, sometime in Nay, to pre pare for cotton. "Cuffee, gwine to use any juanner ?" "No, bless your life, I'se not gwine to buy juanner to put on other folk's lan'." Well after dinner, some sultry evening, he saun ters from his but, and after survey ing his prospects, he says: "Whew! sun gittenl ht; time I'se plantin' my cotton." Hitches up his mule to his one-horse cart and off he goes to hunt cotton seed. Well, after cotton plant ing, then for a fish.and hunt. Some June, Monday morning he wakes up one or two hours by the sun, and af ter breakfast he hitches up his mule to run round his corn : after treating his cotton in somewhat the same way he proceeds to chopping. Then for a big frolic, to say nothing about going to his meetings and to town every Saturday. After this fashion he gets through the year. He then takes what little cotton to market he makes, and sells it for provision bills, returns his mule to its former owner, and goes home broke, colisoling hi:nself by say ing: "If I didn't get any money, I'se had a heap of freedom." He takes down his plank and fire coal, and fig ures thus: 0 is naughr, 5 i a fgure AR for de account., and none for de nigger. He Isys his plank back up in the crack and while reaching out for the poker to pull out his pot:;toes from the fire, he breaks out whistling his favor ite son, Ni'ger work hirl :dl the year etc. Sonething to be Done.

PuirtaDELPmHA, February 10-To. day, the case euntaining the bodies of the Siamese twinis was opened in the preenc of a number of eminent medi cal gentlemen. The embalming pro ess has not been entirely satisfactory in its results, owing to the fact that when the bodies were subjected to the process decomposi.ijon was already far- advanced. At the same time it was believed, that the main points in interest in the case will be fully elicited by an autopsy. A number of medical gentlemen were present at the college to-night, and steps were taken to corn nmence operations. Plaster casts of the bodies have been taken to-day.
