The young ladies were taking vaca-.

Abram Venable, a contemporary of iMr. Calhoun. Wonderful is the only word that will express the tenacity *of this gentleman's memory, as, stand ing faultlessly erect amid tile wrdok of other days, h-o deseanted upon tho hallowed past, and deplored the present. As he stood tvith oncoirer'ed head-z his snowy looks dishevelled by the breeze, his arm shaking with the in firmities of age, speaking of the great (lead-he reminded us of a pea'rl 6f untold value stranded upon the shore 'of time. The other institution (aid it is nothing less,) is the 'maiumoth -*utore, and botanical warehbuse of Wallace Bros. & Stephenson, to which I before referred, as claiming to sell a quarter of a million. This is certainly a curiosity to0 any vhiitor from a cotton region, an'd ii richly worth inspection. As well as we'ca', .jidge and as we are informed, those .gentleman have now on hand a stock of merchandize worth seventy-five thousand dollars-and their supply It greatly roducod. They have thirty salesmen and port'ers, and their sholvei supply almdst every wan't of their customers, who come from seven counties with roots and herbs, to barter for goods. In short it is a 'coinpleto oinnium gatherurn. T'a . botanical warehouse is removed fr'6m the Store a short distaneo, and ih t*o stories high. It ilandor th6 s'apervi.
