gtimising THE YANKEE PEDLAR. The importance of importing your ow stock, if you are going into the'wool business is very emphatically enforced in the followin capital story,' that comes to us from a ver agreeable correspondent: "Some years ago, I was travelling on th eastern shore of Maryland, and stopped fo the night at the house of a gentleman by th same of Jones. He was not at home, bu his wife received me very politely; I was ii the capacity of a traveling merchant, a peri patetic vender of notions, vulgarly oalled pedlar. She made a few purchases of ai tides useful in the family, and might hav 1 * ? t i i ir T * Dougnt more, naa not lur. uoues rciuiuci unexpectedly, and at once commenced abu siDg me most roundly, and said be didn' want any pedlars about bis house. I gavi him baok the ohange in bl&own ooin till hi cooled down, when I asked him what mad< him mad at all 'gentlemen in my line of bu siness ?" He told me : "A few months ago, a Yankee pedlar wa about here, selling bis ware, and taking pai in anything he could get. My neighbor far mer, Mr. Brown, had a very troublesomi ram; one time he jumped the fence and go into the wheat, and another day into th< corn, and was alwajs where he had no busi ness to be. One day, just as the farmer hac got him out and tied him np, this pedlai came along and wanted to sell his tin-ware ? Mr. Brown, said he would sell him the old ram and take his pay in tin. The pedlai took him up, offering him two dollars wortl of his truok for the ugly old sheep; the farmer agreed, picked out his tin things, the ped - - - ?! 1 - * i!.J 1 lar hoisted the ram, wiin legs ucu, iuiu m: confounded old cart, and drove right along here to my house, and had the impudence, yes, the scoundrel had ! to tell me the ran; had been imported from England by ordei of one of the rich farmers, Jeffers, down the country, and he had agreed to take it to hiin j it had cost $200 on landing, and he was tc have $250 for it when he delivered it tc Mr. Jeffers, but he was so tired of having the plaguey thing in bis wagon, that he would take $100 for it, the first chance he oould get. I was quite anxious to improve my stock, and thought this so fine an opportunity to buy an imported full-blood, as the rascal warranted it to be, that I paid the fellow $100; and he cut the strings and let the ram run. Sure enough, he did run, full split, right over the fence, and I after him, and my niggers coming on. In fifteen minutes, my ram, niggers, and I fetohed up in Brown's yard, whenl Youndthat I had.been sold as well as that rascally old sheep.

He never came this way again ; and if you are one of that ^ort, you had better put up your traps and be moving." Finally, I prevailed on him to let me stop till morning, and to accept a few Yankee notions without fee or reward. But he will nevver forget that 8100 and his neighbor's itm." ' METHOD OF AD VOIDING A DUN. A compositor in one of the daily newspaper offices, though a good fellow, like many ol the Faustian profession, suffers from repeated attacks of limited finances, or revenue disproportional to his disbursements. He has no objection to paying his debts, to the last penny, when he has the money \ but when he is "short," he abhors the idea of meeting one of his creditors,'for he hates a dun as he does the devil, or a dirty ? proof." On one of the not few oocasions of the pressure upon the typo's monetary market, he was descending from the news-room to the street, when he met a collector, who asked him if James H. Smith (giving the printer's real name) worked in that office. " Why do you wish to see him ?" asked Smith. " I have little bill against him (producing the same) for 820, left by a Br. ?who, you remmember, recently died, and whose accounts have been placed in my hands foi collection." "James H. Smith," replied the compositor, repeating his own name slowly, as if it had a mysteriously-familiar sound and he were endeavoring to recall itf " I have heard that name before, surely. James H. Smith, James, James H.?Oh 1 yes, (as with a sudden retic A/1 Kb AmtllnVOf] VlPfP j ^ug uovu w w vhi^pivjw mv>v Certainly he did. I remember now; he worked next to my case, poor follow 1" and the speaker paused and looked sad, and breathed a sigh. "Bid anything happen to him?" questioned the collector, sympathetically. ? Yes; although as good a fellow as evei lived, he died suddenly one morning of th< cholera, after he had been attending the sick bed of a friend." " Bid he leave anything?" asked the mar of bills. "Oh no. The boys had to bury him. 1 remember giving 85 myself to put the gener ous creature under the sod, and it was one ol the best actions of my life. With all hit noble qualities, he died hundreds of dollars worse than nothing." " Then there's no use keeping this bill 1 suppose ?" " Not a bit, my friend," hastilly rejoinec the printer, with a kind of comic solemnity "for I assure you neitheir Jim Smith noi any one of his friends ever was or ever wil be worth a d?n." "Well, good morning, then." " Good morning;" and, as the collector de parted, "I gueas I've got rid of that old bore It wasn't perhaps so much of a story as I wa< telling. Probably I was only anticipating ? little, after all." What is it ??A Western pettifoger once broke out in the following indignant strain ; * Sir, we're enough for ye, the hull of ye. M< and my client can't never be intimidated noi tyranized over, mark that! And sir, just si sure as this court decides against us, we'll file a writ of propagander, sir, and we?'

At a trial in the Court of King's Bench, June, 1833, between certain publishingtwee= dledums, tweedIedees,asto an alleged piracy of an arrangement of the <k Old,English n Gentlemen,"?an old English air, by-the- , s? bye,?Tom Cook, the conjposcr, was subg pccnaed as a witness by one of the parties, y. On his cross-examination by Sir James Scarlet?afterw?rds Lord Abioger?for opposite i p clrlo tlmt louvnort Annnaoh rather flinnantlv - ^ - rr ^ r questioned him thus : e "Now. sir, you say that the two melodies t are the same, but. different; What do you n mean by that, sir ?" - To this Tom promptly answered ?" I said a that the notes in the two copies were alike, '* but with a different accent, the one being e common time, the other io six-eight time ; 3 and consequently the position of the accented >* , notes was different" t Sir James?"What is a musical accent?" e Cook-T*"My terms area guinea a lesson, e sir."?[A loud laugh.] B Sir James, (rather ruffled)?" Nerer mind - your terms here. I asked you what was a musical accent? Can you see it ?" . s Cooke?"No." 1 Sir James?"Can you feel it?" Cooke?"A musician can." [Great laugh* ter.] t Sir James (very angry)?"Now, pray, sir, b don't beat about the bush, but explain to - his lordship, (Lord Denman, who was the 1 judge that tried the cause) and the jury, who r are supposed to know nothing about music, * the meaning of what you call acoent." * Cooke?"Accent in music is .a ceitain r stress laid upon a particular note in the same > manner as youwould Jay a stress upon any 1 given word for tho purpose of being under stood. Thus, if I were to say " You are an J ass," it rests on ass; bnt if I Were to say, \ ? Yon are an ass," it rests on you, Sir j > James." * ' - , 1 Reiterated shouts oflnughter, by the whole j r court in which the bench it^eTF joined, followed this repartee. Silence having been ; at length obtained, the judge, with much > seeming gravity "accosted the chop fallen > counsel thus: ; Lord Denman?" Are you satisfied now, ' Sir James?" > - Sir James (who deep red as he naturally was, to use poor Jack Reeve's own words, bad become scarlet in more than name,) in a great huff, said. ? The witness may go ' down !" And go down he did,-amidst renewedlaughter, in which all joined, particular the learned brothers, except one, who did not see and joke in the matter. CIRCUMSTANCES ALTER CASES. i " -If General Barnes *as not -possessed'of f very superior legal attainments, yet as a lawyer, he had the happy faculty of impressiug hie clients that justice and law were with them in all cases. A rbugh countryman i walked into his office one duy and began his application. > "General Barnes, I have come to get your advice in a case that is giving me some trouble." "What is the matter ?" "SuDnose. now." said the client, "that a r r ' ' man had one spring of water on his land, and his neighbor- living below him was to | build a dam across a creek running through both their Farms, and it was to back the water up into the other man's spring, what ought to be done ?" 1 "Sue bim, sir,?sue him by all means," ' said the General, who always become excited in proportion to the aggravation of his 1 clients. "Yon can recover heavy dain&ses, i sir, and the law will make bim pay well for it. Just give me the case, and Iil bring the * money from bim ; and if he hasn't a great ' deal of property it will break him up sir." "But stop, General!" cried the terrified applicant "for legal advice, "it's me that Ibullt the dam, and it's neighbor Jones that owns the spring, and he has threatened to sue me." The keen lawyer hesitated a moment be' fore he tacked his ship, and kept on, 1 "Ah ! Well, sir, you say you built a dam across the creek. What sort of a dam was that, sir?" " It was a mill-dam." 1 " Mill-dam for grinding grain, was it ?" . 1 asked the General. ' I " Yes, it wa9 just that." "And it's a good neighborhood mill, is it 1J not?a public convenience ?" I "So it is, sir; and you may well say so/' " And all your neighbors bring their grain |! there to be ground, do they?" j " Yes, -sir, all but Jones." I " Then, it is a great public convenience? ,, is it not, sir?" 1 " To bo sure it is. T would not have had , j it built but for that. Tt's so far to any other r j mill, sir." '! " And now/'- said the old lawyer, "you 1 j tell me that thac man Jones is complaining just because the water from your dam happens ' to put back into his little spring, and he is threatening to sue you. Well, all I have to - say is, let him sue, and he'll rue the day he ' ever thought of it, as sure as my name is f Barnes." j ,,,,, * First Meeting of a Negro with a r Bear.?Reading an interesting article respecting the habits of the bear, a pretty good story floated up to the surface, related to me some time since, by my friend the Colonel, ' who had spent most of his fortune and life in r the woods of Florida, now years goue by, which I will attempt to relate?the truth of which you may depend upon, as I heard it direct from his own lips. The Colonel bad a black fellow, a good natured, happy creature, who, one morning J was strolling through the w< ods. whistling 1 and roaring as he went, when suddenly he spied an individual as black as himself, with j much more wool. t^.. -1- - j l: r_:?j ?u,.

A young man named James Powers was hanged at Washington on the 10th inst. for murder Just before mounting the scaffold he .bade his brother farewell, and said "Reraeber whjt I told you?let the li " TK a oomo nnnnonl Koo rrnnn IjUUi diUUC' x uu c*uiuv vuuudvi iiuu ^vt'v from a thousand scaffolds in this country, and its echoes are heart}-in many a prison cell. We waste much breath and ink in speculating upon the causes of crime and its extraordinary increase of late years. But'the confessions of the criminal tell the whole truth of the matter. It is rum that makes demons out of men of originally good impulses ; it is rum that is filling our prisons, feeding-the gallows and diminishing the security of life and property. Under its accursed influence men who, when sober, would die rather than commit a dishonest action, scruple not to perpetrate forgery, robbery and raarder. Of all the propositions for the prevention of crime, we are strongly persuaded that there is none of equal efficacy with the simple advice of young Powers?"Let the liquor alone." And the Cayuga Ohief} in its usual strong and nervous style, takes up the echo and reiterates?"Let Liquor alone !" Brief, but terribly expressive. Pale lips have uttered - * * e ,L. ??+ ;?a Ofti. It lor flgUS iroui lUC dUtUUXUj au u jtn i to ovr ema eloquence has scarce been heard above the base of the infernal anthem which ever goeth up from the hells of the land. Poor Powers left the solemn injunction with his brother. They parted hands at the gallows, and he who was once lovely and pure iu iunocence and watched over by a mother, swung off a red handed murderer. The gallows preaches in vain, however.? Tts last solemn warnings are unheeded. Its rutu made victims stand up iu the shadows of the dark valley and proolaim their startling utterances to" those who hear not. The penitentiary utters the same voice. The almshouse echoes it, aod so does the desolate home and the plague-smitten inmates. It burns on the cheek and brow of the drunkard. Even in thesilenoeof the graves of the nameless ones, as wells as those whose marble remembrances bear the deeply chiseled records of the lost, the same voice is heard, "Let Liquor alone.'1 Spirit of the Aye. WHAT LIQUOR WILL DO. ; A correspondent of the Miesouri Democrat, writing from the Army Camp in Utah, says: A few nights since a drunken row occurred at a liquor shaofy near by, in which several teamsters were horribly mutilated?almost literally cut to pieces. None of them, however, are quite dead, although in a critical condition. The.same night, I aui informed, a soldier bebnging to the fifth colum, whioh i9 also encamped over theriver, wasshotdcad. The night after, a wagou master of an ox team shot one of his ox drivers' through the head. Last Dight two teamsters of a mule train were badly wounded by.pistol shots fired by ox drivers. These deeds of horror are all attributed to the influence of -liquor. Thus you see, rum, that foul fiend and agent of the devil, is here, as elsewhere, doing his full share in r)p<3ti>nnfinn nf Knrnrfn life: ) The Petersburg Democrat give9 the following. as of recent occureoce: Remarkable Case?Some few day? since, while the servants of a Mr. Hobson, of Goochland, were -engaged in harvesting, eleven of thein were suddenly seized with convulsions, aud despite the skill of three physicians, who were immediately called in, a valuable utan died, and the other sufferers barely escaped with their lives. All the servants were in perfect health until a new barrel of whiskey was opened, and they were allowed to take each one a drink therefrom. The symptoms were of suoh an alarming and violent character, that their illness is believed to have been produced by the whiskey, which is generally believed to have contained a large quantity of strychnine.? The Richmond Dispatch understands the liquor is to be analyzed "by a competent chemist, when its poisonous properties, if it possess any, will be ascertained. If it should, the discovery will prove a "dead shot" to whiskey hereafter: for the words of the song, "there's death in the cup," will be literally verified. Au exchange gives the following horrible item : A few days since, Joseph King, a bookkeeper in St. Louis, Mo., was discharged from his situation for intemperance. He bought some strychnine, mixed it with lager beer, drank about half the dose, lay down aDd fell asleep. Meanwhile, Patrick Burke, a porter, coming in, drank off the balance of the beer, and was immediately taken sick. Medical aid was procured, but they both died. THE DANGEROUS DOCTRINE. One of the chief causes by which the evil of intemperance is propogated, is contained in the argument of many men, who should be found on the other side of the question, that the use of liquor is not objectionable, if not drank to intoxication. We are satisfied, that so long as this erroneous opinion prevails, just so loug will the curse of drunkenness abound. So long as exceptions are made to a principle, and the lines of division between soberness and drunkenness are unable to be drawn with any degree of certainty. just so long will thousands be ruined by continually stepping over the defaced landmarks of sobriety and morality. We must fall back upon strictly total abstinence ground, eschew the very least approach to a compromise with wrong, deny, as is our duty, the right of man in health to use alcohol as a beverage in the least quan tity. or in any form, and wage a warfare against this loose temperance morality, which allows a little evil to be good There is no middle ground for temperance men to occupy. The total abstinence platfrom is the only one upon which we can stand ? It is the only consistent doctrine, and the only hope of the world. Thi> doctrine must be enforced in all its purity, or the cause can make no progress. A letting down of our flag of reform in the least, will certainly cause j it to trail in the dust at th< tirst tierce contest with the enemy. Temperance is abstinence from a huitful beverr^e; if can be no less, and possesses vitality as a principle. Per Contra.?The following is given as an instance of what the absence of liquor will do for a community : A Model Town.?It is stated, upon the authority of the orator of the day, for the 5th July, for the town of Peru?a towa of about 1,000 inhabituuts, ou ihe Green Mountains in the Southern part of VeFiuout?that within the last ten years, there has not been a criminal prosecution in that town ; nor a law suit of any kind within two years ; that there is not a pauper or'a drunkard iD the town, and that, during the festivities of the 4th, uot a person was seen at all, so far as could be discoverd, tinder thd influeuce of liqtror. It isjust to add that a prohibitory liquor law has force there. . ??Pi?Bag????? IS ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY MORNING, . AT Two Dollars per year, in Advance.

IT is proposed to publish a new Weekly Paper, at Benncttsville, Marlboro', District, S. C., as early this fall as arrangements can be made to issue it?nn<bn few hundred subscribers can be oh taiued to start with. . The main leading object of the paper will be to advance the cause of Temperance, and especially | to build up the Order of the Sons of Temperance, believing this to be tho organization at present i that, embraces the entire State in the scope of its operation^, and far more systematic, efficient and j powerful than any other human instrumentality i that has yet been devised for the accomplishment ! of what all similar associations propose?the rej formation of drunkards, the suppression of intemperance, and the systematic training of the rising generation in habits of strict sobriety. To indicate unmistakably, the purpose of this paper, it will be called "The South-Carolina Son of Temperance." The offices of the M. W. P. of the Sons of Temperance of North-America, and the Grand Scribe of the G. D. of S. C., located at present where this paper is to be issued, besides being in a com munity of strong, leading, intelligent, active, well informed Sons of Temperance, extraordinary facilities will be enjoyed for rendering the paper all that the Order could desire. Its main leading purpose will be to deserve and to secure the gen eral support of the Order in South Carolina ; but it will also embrace news of interest and importance to the Order generally, and to all Temperance organizations. Subscriptions arc therefore solicited from Sons of Temperance, in our jurisdictions and from other Temperance Associations and individuals, and from all who wish the cause well. As this is to be the only newspaper published in the District, and as it will probably be taken by mauy in the neighborhood, for the local interest it may possess,?visiting,"it may be, the humble abodes of some, unable to take other papers, it is deemed advisable to accomodate and to secure this home patronage, by devoting a small but judiciously filled space to local news and to the general news of the day.

It la not, only a Cathartic, but i-Livcr remedy, noting first on the Liver to eject its morbid matter, then on the stomach and bowele to carry off that matter, thus accomplishing two purposes effeetnally, without any of the painful feelings experiencedin the operations of most Calhartict. It strengthens xhe system at the same time that it purges it"; and when takes daily is moderate doses, will strcsgtheo and build it up with unusual rapidity.
