?Sayjfjj ? ".'s ii---r^r_j== A ?*ado is fjslf a man's fortune. Last Words of Jack?-"I'll bo hanged if I go up on that platform." "Tan don't do that again," said the pig to the boy who oat his tail off. A return to the old plan of appren ticing boys to trades is being advo cated. T. Nast is registered on tho alphabe tical list of arrivals at Boston as "Nast rp ? A oorrespondent of a paper having deseribed the Ohio as 'a sickly stream ,' tho editor appended the remark: "That's so?it is confined to its bed." A Western paper has an article on the ears of idiots." A contemporary says that paper is siwsys dragging family affairs before the public. A citizen of Rousevillo, P., boasts that his village can beat Boston out of aight on crooked streets, and then have hdi' crooks enough leftover to start another town. The abolition of the national banking saystom, and tho substitution of free hanking, with nothing but legal tender ' circulation, is now attracting some atten tion. y An Iowa pai er proclaims itself an "honest newspaper," and in another paragraph says: "When a man pro fesses honesta now a-days, keep your eye peeled fiv a thief." A Parisian, whose wife lately died, imagined himself transformed into a weeping willow, and went about the streets' of Paris with a flower pot on his head to announce his transformation. TJie Louisville Courier-Journal says tost "a Tennessee editor, who has been drinking Cincinnati whisky for a month, has written to an Eastern publishing houso for a 'patent inside.'" A Texas bsrber who ornamented his front door with a white knob is said to have had no peace until the last vestige of it had been shot away by his sprightly neighbors, who made use of it as a targot So witty a compliment is rarely made (.;,fs that of Sydney Smith's to his friends, * ? Mrs. Tigho and Mrs. Cuffo : "Ah. there you are 1 the cuff that every one would be glad to wear, and the tie that no one would loose." t t Atv insurance decision in Richmond is to the effect that a Northern company is liable for the amount of premiums paid before the war on policies which lapsed during the war, if the companies refused application for renewal alter the war closed. ~ Tho pcoplo of Providence are highly ftoeensed at the discovery of an old English Gazetcer, published in 1776, which describes Bristol a* a town in Na? England "having a commodious harbor, at the entrance of which lies Rhode Island." Grconsburg wants a directory. It is a nightly occurrence, that many of her citizens cannot find tho way to their homes. It will require a peculiar dir vic tory to elucidato the intricacies of the streets of the town on such ocoasions, however. The host of young men in every large city who apply for employment and fail to get it for the reason that they are nioTeducated or specially fitted for any particular business constitutes a potent argument in favor of reform. Uudor the apprentice system wo should have fewer ignorant mechanics and incompe tent business men. . A young grass widow, aged 25 years, and ex-spouB? of four living husbands, is about to harvest her fifth hay crop in Salt Lake City. Her first husband was a Yaukeo, her second an Italian, ber third a Swiss, her fourth a German, and her prospective fifth is a Polander. The The widow's tastes are truly cosraopoli tain, and she seems ready to take tho world to her glowing and capricious bosom. The Missouri itopublioan says of the pauio : "Wo may aa woll prepare for a second shook at no very distant day, whether it eomos or not; a preparation for it will destroy half its force. The preparation needed is a general payment of debts?nothing more, nothing loss ; and the sooner all classes of individuals resolutely set about this, the hotter it will be for the country." Nothing on earth can smile but hu man beings. Gems may flash reflected light, but what is a dismond flash compared with an eye flash and mirth flash. A fsoe that cannot smile is like a bnt that oannot blossom, and dries upon the stalk. Laughter is day, and sobriety is night, and a smile is the twi ? Ifght that; hovers gently between both, and more bewitching that either. There is a boy in Minnesota who has greatly puzzled the neighboring wild ducks, lie puts a hollow pumpkin over lilt head and WSdes into the poods . whloh 'tho dunks frequent. Presently those woeuspscting birds perceive s floating pumpkin, sod with fjuscks of joy proceed to dig oat the seeds, What tho dusks who view tho scene from a distance oannot understand is the singu lar M (n whioh those who ays iovestb 2 stipg th? p'tjmpkiri ?ttq'dpnlj 41?? ??4 never come to the surface again. The pumpkin also re appears day after day in an undiminished state. The boy thinks that, unless the ducks grew tired of investigating the matter, bo will be able to retire from business in a few weeks more, and devote bis life to the peaceful pursuit of marblea and mumblo Coffee GROWING.? Do you drink coffee? Then you may want to know how it grows. You see only ooffee see d in tho store; and, likely, have never thought much about it ; like the city girl, who though cucumbers grow in slices, just na sho raw them en the fa nit er's table. Coffee comes from South America and the West Indien. Tt grows upon low, bushy trees. Those wpull grow tall like peach-trees, but are clipped at the top to make the fruit hardy. Like tho orango-trce they have blossom and ripe fruit on at the same time. Tho bios stuns arc white; the berrios are groan, red nod purple, according to their age. It's outaido ie muoh like the cborrv?sweet and good. The loaves are a bright, fresh, groen; and the tree is lovely. THE ORANGEBURG NEWS AUGUSTUS B.

There seems to have gone abroad says the Columbia Union* Ifen Ud a mistaken idea us to when the annual fair occurs. We have beeu requested to statu that ? he same commences on Tu-sday, tho 11th of November, aud eloscs on F.idiy, the 15th. Much inconvenience to pers ins living at .i distance has already iiooure 1 oo ac count ol" this mistake iu dates. As an instance, wc mention the fact that a gentleman with c fine horse has arrive 1 here from Roleigb, North Carolina, who states that he was under the impression that the Tair commenced on the 4th of November, an d that a number of Rai cigb pcup'c, intending to viait the lair think like wire, and are making thoir calculations accordingly. R?m?mber the fair is t> be held on the 11th, 15th. 13th, Uth and 15. Tho liondtiKo of American Wo men. The liberty American women have bc.'orc marriage in sharp contrast to tho bondage succeeding tt. Foreigners are as rituell startlud by one as ihoy are sur prised by the other. They think wc fail to shield in time of peril, an 1 ri ar bulwark* iu front of security. They cannot linderstiod how hose nstring, sagacious and -ell helpful, in an u igaur ded state, should require vigilanco and restricti u when possessed of added knowledge, higher responsibilities, aud legal protectors. The freedom of our wedded women should be i? broad aud lull as that of the uuweded. Pomosticity should regulate itself. Tho cord of loyalty, binding love can not b<? ?Uretch ed very far without breaking ; and when it breaks, love i.s released. A man and woman are married to eich othor, not to all their acquaintances aul every cu rious gossip. It is fuir to presume that they know what they wish* and that they can arrange their affairs without inte; mediation. Tho liberty they aro generally wil?ug to give the one to tho other thoy are re strained from giving by tho question of appearauees. From this defercnoo to the society they secretly despise they insnre mutnal weariness anr1 dissonance, and forego likewise tho satisfaction and advancement thoy might hnvo gained by taking more personal aol spiritual latitude Beside the nuptial aha r too often yawns the tomb of woman's pro gress, and, strangely and sadly enough, she assists ut its burial without protest or complaint. Tub Husband.?Ladies sometimes do not value their husbands as they ought. They not unfrequeutly loarn the value of a good husband for the firid tim by the lose of him. Yet the hus band is the very roo. tree of tho hou?e ?the purMPPtstnne uf the edifice?the key-stone called home, He ?? tjpabraa.1} winner of the family-^ju defense and. iu glory?*t?? begionJqg and the emjing of the golden ohaiq of Ufa wqiolt sn.r rounda it?ita oop^ol)^ law giver end its king.

Widow hood is often as associate of saokoloth sod ashes. Orphanhood too often moans desolation and woe. Creole Women. The Creole woman is prettier than the French woman. There is a climatic in fluence in America which refines features and givos delicacy to tho complexion. This is especially the cose in Louisiana, where finely formed woman are often feuud to be the descendants of ignoble looking ancestors. The light olive ti nt of tho woman seems to hare been paint ed over a ground color of blushing lake , nud this pinkish creaminess of the skin saves it from dullness and sallownoss. In a word, there is something of that traaspareoy for whioh painters aro always seeking. She inherits from her mother over the sea the physical characteristics of rouud limbs and delicate extremities, with a figure something slighter?another effect of climate, also that sense of art with which the people are born, but can never entirely acquire. From the same source come her coquetry and her grace of speech and action, but modified. She docs not wear crude colors or awry shapes ; nor docs she express herself with unseemly gesture or discordant tones. Her dress is rather sombre than gay, and her carriage simple and conven tional?for they all walk alike. Smooth ness and graceful propriety archers. In a word there is au absence of angles in her general conduct.? Galaxy. J'nsliio.iM. Tho fashionable umbrella is now more attenuated than ever. Ladies, hats this season consists chiefly of two bows of ribbon aud a stiff OBtrioh feather. The Elizabethan ruffs are assuming proportions more ponderous andawo-ia spiiing thsn ever. Cameos have gone out of fashion for jowelry, having been succeeded by en tuglios?antique, if possible. It is fashionable now to have all tho maid servants in tho household, to wear oayw, Aft?r the English style. Ladies just from Europe wear their hair very plain and low on the ucck?a style all the tago in Paris. Fringes aro to be very fashionable as trimmings this wiuter. Some of the haudsoiucr sorts are as expensive as fine laces, Tho war against gilt and imitation jewelcry continues furiously. As a re sult, very little of it is worn by would be fashionable ladies. Peacock blue is the new color for sashes, which are worn of the widest kind of ribbon, and with long ends down to the skirt of the dress. Peacock blue is very soft and beautiful shade. . NOTICE.
