* ? About the close of last year, I was
looking around for an Almanac for the
present year; the first I found had the
picture of a man in it with the representatives
of the Zodiacal signs pointing
to the different parts of the man's
picture, indicating the effect of the
e^mron the several members of the
human body. And of course it stated
ppfij&r^y and prectiely what kind o!
wsftthpc we would have during the ensumg
year. Not bein? pleased with
v*" this kind of an Almanac, I sent to Columbia,
S. C. for one, and lo ! when it
ajprived I found that it was almost a duplicate
of the former?entirely so in the
items referred to, except it had no vulgar
.looking picture of the old man, ye)
if: gave the signs together with theii
effects upon tjie human body. I fondlj
hope that the Almanac-makers of S
I Carolina have lost the old man's pic
ture en&rely, and that soon they wil
have renounced the false notion of th<
Moon or signs effecting the severa
parts of the human body. It is foolisl
enough for old women to talk of- sow
ing and planting in the Moon, but it i
far more ridiculous to see in a Souther
Almanac of the nineteenth centorjetha
old obscene picture with lines projecte
from all parts of it to the represents
tives of the signs of the Zodiac. Suci
a IVontispiege is well calculated to giv
to all supei?t#tiou9 people, "rumatics

But I have said enough about Almai

A few days ago, I heard of a very sei
sible thing: A certain young lady ws
" * t ' ? 'i j
makingpreparations taje married, and
wrote a note to a gentleman friend of
,hers, simply informing him that she^was
to be married _on a specified evenings
and she could not think of this occasion
passing off without, his presence. Was
not such an invitation as the above
much more sensible than the ordinary
custom of sending out tickets.
"Mr and Mrs. John Smith at ^jgjpr
on the evening of the 17th. instant, at
8 o'-cloek, P. M., January the 9th,
1865." What common sense is there
in such an indefinite and nonsensical
~ z
ticket? The presumption is that Mr.
and Mrs. Smith are at home every evening
when not otherwise occupied.
