Love Without Nonsense.
NOT A BIT LIKE A NOVEL.
Once upen a time there wats a fair
_"ung maiden, uh-so ntiome wms Mary,
alibtiough they called her Moll, for
short. She wasn't a tall dark-eyed
ai,den, with clear, tran-parent bkin,
anA lips like cherries, and cheeks
suffosed with bitishes. She dilA't
hav glossy blaelc hair, sweeping back
in wavy treFes from her queenly
bro* and her form was't, a bit like
Hebe 'ii. No, there was none of these
thingi--on the contrary, she was
short anA thin, and had red hair and
freokles, and the also sported nag
gle teeth and wore pads, but still she
%vas a righ't nice girl, and there was's
.young ma; 2 who fell in love with her.

So, you see, there really was n
Snosssity for William to-come at mid

ana throw a rope-ladder up tU
her window, and whistle three timeS
en his fingers, and bring her down in

There was another follow in love with o,

to drive bim into the big war, the
Emprevs Eugenie yas making up a

The crazy ladies of the court bad ex.

so the Empress set about getting ip
a style for the races whibl shaoud be

Nip, hot husband was crazy in war.
Eugenie sent for Worth, the man

and dandelions, and any and every

which wer6 full of wounded French

who left that County some six mbntha
since, and for the last four months

arrested this young man was drawn
against Wesley Scott and Joshua
Shearl, whose natnes were scratched
out and Hanoo6k'i name interlined.
It was brought out in the evidence
that Hendricks and Nortis tated,
after the arrest, to Hancock, that he
woqld not have arrested him if. Scott
had not got away. Col. Ri. A.
Aiston, known familiarly about
Charleston na "Bob," was called in
as counsel for Hancook, in oonneotion

a warrant was issued for Hendricks,
who was arrested for false imprison

linibeon continued until next Thurs
day, in order that evidence may be
obtaintid from Charleston convicting

LiVense Tax-Miniaters.
From information received in an
interview, 1Nay 6, *ith the Attorney.
.eneral of Soithli Carolina, lion. D.
I. Chamberlain, we feel authorized
to say to the mihisters, that so doubt.
ful is the license tax law, in its ap.
plication to the ministry, particular.
ly the itinerant, that they may rest
qIulet until further and timely notice.
We are persuaded that a fuller no.
ri1aintance with' the peouliarrolatins
of ministers to their charges-rela
tions which it is hardly 'possible for
the Attorney Generpl suffie.jently to
have knoWn in lf tieir"dferences
and bearings-Iiil, inMk6' it Wbnfltent
and clear that, expecting, poisibly a
few peculiar eases, the ministexi of the
Gospel, as in'uhl d6 not come pvithin
the purvfew of the license tax law,
and' that if the tntantiobn of tli6se who
framed and those who enacted the
law can be ascertainod, it will be
fournd that the imposing of licen tax
on the ministers of the Gospel wns not
in their thoughts, though the wording
is not as explicit as i should have
been.
't'he tWultiplicity of the pu'blic
business, and the obscurity in the
wording of the law, we would, on' our
own responsibility, mention as an ex
eusei for any opinion ef the Attoz'fey
teneral, p'reviously eipressed, and
as subjecting the ministers of the
Gospel, as such, to a license tax.
