? . -aw . __u - . I ! THE BACHELOR'S SOLILOQUY. Marry, br not to marry ? That's the question ? Whether lis nobler in the mind to sutler The sullen silence of these cob-webbed rooms. Or seek in festive hulls sotue cheerful dame, And, by uniting, end it? To live alone No more. And by mnrying suy we end The hcnrtachc and the thousand make shifts liachelors are heirs to; lis a cons animation Devoutly to se wished. To marry, to live In rcaco 1 Perchance in war?ay, there's thejrub; Tor in the marriage state what ills may come, When wc have shuffled off our liberty \t,..? ...i. - ... > *? -.uo? .iiun? us 1'iiunc?inert s ine rcspcci That makes us dread the bonds of wedlock; For who could bear the noise of scolding wives, The fits ofsplecn, the extravagance of dress. 'Ihe thirst for concerts, for plays, and for balls. The insolence of servants, and the spurns That patient husbands 'rom their consorts take, When he himself might his o.uietness gain lly living single? Who would wish to bear The jeering name of bachelor, But that the dread of something after marriage (Ah, that vast expenditure of income The tongue can scarcely tell) puzzles the will. And makes us rather choose the singlo life. Than go to jail for debts wo know not of. Kconomy thus makes bachelc rs of us still, And thus our melancholy resolution Is still increased upon more serious thought. Tuk Great Flood in Europe.?London, January 1).?.V Barliu dispatch to tho Times says : Tho inundations arc taking the form of a groat public catastrophe. Tho distress is increasing hourly. ThJ military and civil authorities arc tuakiog tho greatest exertions to mitigate the misery of the disaster. There is no sign yet that the crisis of tho calamity is rcachod.

Direct rail communication with France and Italy is interrupted. From Rutherford to the Sea.?The Act to renew and amend the charter of the Union, Gaffney City and Rutherfo/dton railroad Company provides that the company shall be organized and the construction of the road commenced within six ycarB from the first of January 1883. It also provides that Spartanburg, Union and Newberry countios, or any town, city or township within their borders, may subscribe to the capital stock of the company such sum as a majority of their voters may authorizo the county commissioners or 110 proper municipal authorities to subscribe, the subscriptions to be made in 7 per cent. coupou tonus, payable in equal installments of sixteen, twenty , twenty-four atul twenty-eight years after issue, and to bo of tlic denomination of$100, 8300 and 81,000, the funds realized on such bonds to be expended exclusively in the construction of the railroad within the limits of the territory subscribing. Tho question of subscribing to tho railroad is to be decided at a popular election to be ordered by the county commissioners, upon the application of one hundred voters. If tho subscription should be voted, the couuty auditor or the town treasurer is icquircd to assess annually upon tho property of tin cities, town, county or township such per centum of taxes as will be necessary to pay the interest on the bonds subscribed to the railroad. Tho couipauy have tho authority to extend the railroad from Union to Newberry and thence by the most practicable route to nnv roint on tho scacoast in Beaufort county, running the road by or near Edgefield and Hamburg or Aiken. A stockbroker, returning to his office the day after a substantial luncheon with a client,said, complacently, to his head clerk, ''Mr. Putkin, the world lookt different to a man when he has a bottle of champagne in him." "Yes, sir," replied tho clerk, siguifi. cantly, "and ho looks different to the IIow Dkomuoole was Ruined. ? George C. Orouigoolc, iu 1835, was oue of the ablest uien iu Cougress, but his fault was dissipation : Reuiorse'for a sing! : act of folly?a folly'then fashionable among the chivulry?led him to dissipation, .lie had fricud, a classmate at college, from whom he was Dearly inseparable. If not a blood rolulion he was at least couuectod with Gcu. Dromgoole's family by his marriage. The two frieuds had a slight difficulty, iu which the lie was given aud the result was a challenge to the field of (so-called) honor. At the first fire the challenger fell pierce I by a . ball of Dromgoole's pistol, a lifeless corpso. From the moment George C. Drouigoole saw his fricud weltering iu his blood he knew no peace of mind. Iu tho silcut watches of the night ho could still seo the ghastly face of tho companion of his boyish days as he lay dead?murdered ; and n'ght after night iu his dreams the duel would be repeated, and it was only when be drank deep that he could find rest from the horrid phantom. The victim left a wife and several small children in reduced circumstances, and although in comfortable circumstances himself, Drouigoolc dared not offer relief, because he was tho murderer of the widow's husband and father of her orphan children. From that moment his resolve was taken, and no miser hoarded his resources with more of care or tried harder to increase his wealth and to place it ou a sure foundation than did^ General Dromgoolo, and although sou c might guess yet nouc ever knew the reason, until after bis death it was found that all he possessed^was given to tho heirs of his unfortunate friend. To leave it iu money might, ho feared, cause, those to whom it was bequeathed to reject it and having a fine opinion of Ohio and of her prosperity, ho iuvested most of it iu lands in the counties of Pickaway and Scio-? to, wkcro kc was certain it would rise in value.? Cincinnati Enquirer. Drunkard's Wives.?If there bo a lonely womau, amid the multitude of lone and sorrowful women, more to be pitied than auotber, I think that it is a wife looking upon the one she has promised to honor, lyiug upon the bed with his hat and boots on. Her comforter, who swore at her as long as he could speak at all. Her protector, utterly unable to brush a fly from his owu face. Iler companion, lyiug in the stupor of death , with uono ot its solemn dignity. As he is entirely uuconscious, I wonder if she never employs the slowly passing moments in taking down her old idol, her ideal, from its place in her memory, and comparing it with the broken and defaced image before her. Of all poor, broken idols, scattered iuto fragments for the divino patience ol womanhood to gather. togcthor and cement with tears, such a ruin as this sceuis the most impossibly to mold anew iuto any form of homeliness. And if there is a commandmcnt^sccuiiugly impossible to obey,*it is for a woman to love a man whom she is iu deadly fear of, obey a man who can't speak his commands intelligently. The theory of recoguizing our friends in a future world is a beautiful ono, aud worthy of much thought,S^but.. I think it is commendable to try to keep them in a condition to recognize us',in this world, try to keep a man while he is alive so he will know his wife and childrcu, and not, as often occurs, turn them out iuto a storm of a winter midnight, or murder them in his frenzy ?Anvil. Don't live single'an hour of your life without doing what is to he done in it, aud going straight through it from beginning to end. Work, play, study?whatever it is ?take hold at once; aud finish it up squarely and cleanly; then, to the next thing, without letting any moments drop between. It is wonderful to see how many hours these prompt people contrive to make of a day; it i9 as if they picked up the moments that the dawdlers lost. And, if you find your self when you have so many things pressing upon you, that you hardly know how to bogin, let me tell you a secret: take hold of the very first one that comes to hand, and you will find the rest all fall into file, and followaftcr, like a company of we 11 drilled soldiers; and, though work may be hard to meet when it charges in a squad, it is easily vanquished ifyou can bring it into lino You may have often seen the anecdote of the man who was asked how he had accom* plished so much in his life : "My father taught me," was the reply, "when I had anything to do, to go and do it." There is the secret?the magic word, Now. From a Ball Room to a Fire?The Abbeville Press ami Banner of Wedenesdiy sys, in describing the burning of Barker's wagon shops in that town on the night of the 27th ultimo: "When the alarm of fire was given tho young people of the town wore participating in tho pleasures of u go r man at Judge McGowan's, onlyashort way off. The party camo down cn masse, 1 aving only the Judge to krep house.? Tho ladies stood under the 'Big Oak Tree,' while'thcir escorts woiked like Trojans to prevent the spread of the flames, and it is due to their exertions, and to the generous aid of a number of colored men, that other and greater dumago was not done. Ncvor in the history of fires did a better dressed set of firemen appear at a burning building, nor did firemen ever work with more daring and energy. Tho gentlemen from the party were there in spike-tail coats, and other fine and fashionable party attire.? They seemed to forget their clothing, and nnllorl rlnwn wnll<a wntor frnm (tin r ?? ? ^ --WW- ..w?. v..v wells and up ladders, as if they weie members of a hook and ladder company. A stranger standing off looking on, said to us that he had never seen the 'bloods' of a town work as well at a firo as they did on that occasion." A Confederate bond is worth now exactly \fhat it was in 180-4 r A Little New Enulanet Family.? The New Eoglund Medical Monthly reoords ibo following ca?o : Among tho papers of the lato Thos. Atwater, of New Haven, Conn., the following memoranda wore recently, found : "Mrs. Mubie, No. 100,. Twenty-ninth street, Now York, of the firiu^of Topping A Co., has been married forty-eight months. July 24th, 1868, had.:.:~*?73l oMId. July 30th, 1859, '* .."3.2 children. March 29th, 1800, " March 4th, 1801, ?? ....8 " Feb. 18th, 1862, ? ,/i 4 Total 12 " These children wero all bom within three years and soven mouths, and are nil living aud healthy. This is a oopy from a memorandum given by tho father, Mr Mubie. Only let a woman bo suro that she is precious to ber husband, not useful, convenient or necessary, but lovable and "just right;" lot her feel that her caro and lovo arc appreciated and returned with interest; lot her judgm :nt ,be asked and respected on subjects in which thcro is a common interest, and she would not change places with a queen. Her sun will rise and set with her husband; she will desire no higher sphere than that afforded by her home, and she will keep her good looks and good temper as lung as health and lifo are spared licr. She will boar pain, toil and anxiety without a murmer; for her husband's lovo will give her strength and patience; adver sity will lose the sharpness of its sting, shielded and sheltered as she is by him. About Twins.?"So you have got twius at your house," said Mrs. Bczumbc to little Tounny Samuclsou. "Yes maui, two of'em." "What arc you going to call them ?" "Thuudcr and lightning." "Why, those aro strange names to call childrcu." "Well, that's what pa callulthcm as soou as he heard they were in tho house".? Texas Si/tings. . Tho Newberry Herald supports Gov. Thompson's Citil Service Reform principles, but mildly suggests that he hns carried them a little too far in reappointing a Newberry Trial Justioe who died a year ago. 53d YEAR, p ODE Y'S 11 LADY'SBOOK FOR 1883, will contain A.

THE above cat represents a section and Gate of a strong, cheap and durable Steel Wire Fence which is now being used at the North and Northwest in preference to any other kind of fencing. Wherever it has been tried it has given great aatisfactibn. It is a net work without barbs and will keep out small pigs or any other animals that may injure gardens or farm crops. It makes no shade and shelters no entmiss crops or poultry. , It is just the fence for Gardens, Lots, Lawns Parks and Cemeteries. Being dipped in Rust proof paint it will last a life time, and is better than board fence in every respect. It iB easily and quickly put up.
