"TWEUTT-ONE."
The lookedfor day's arrived at last!
I hear you say, ray son?
No more the tardy weeks I count,
I now am twenty-one.
I now am free to do, to choose,
Then, Oh! be wise, my boy,
To choose the right, reject the wrong.
If you would life enjoy.
And have so many years gone by ?
Is it so long my boy,
Since you, a little stranger, came
And filled our hearts with joy ?
Yes, joy was In our pleasant home,
For gratcfhl hearts were there,
For this dear treasure Heaven had lent.
For us to guard with care.
Life's morning sun shone brightly then,
The future promised joy:
How could 1 think that time so soon
Would those bright dreams destroy.
But scon it brought affliction's rod.
And we were forced to bow
And by the cruel stroke we felt
Our very hope laid low.
Yet, why should I, with sorrow's tale,
Now blind your young heart's joy.
Enough, that sorrow, well you know,
Made you an orphan boy.
But He who heeds the fatherless
Xian Miiuijr icu juu vu,
Secure, though dangers thick were spread,
Till you arc "twenty one."
Now while your hearts beats high with joy,
As you the future view,
Let gratitude find there a place,
For all this love to you.
He speaks to-day?regard His voice;
Choose Him your gtilde to be ;
Espouse His cause, and faithful prove,
And He'll prove true to you.
Then when life's pleasant morn Is past,
Twill gild its sitting sun
With Heavenly rays, the happy choice
You make at "twenty-one." A MOTHER.

Sut Lovengood's Daddy Acting Horse.
'Hold that ere hose dowu to the yearth '
'He's spreadio' his tail to fly.'
'Keep bim wharheis.'
These aod like expressions were addressed
to a queer looking, long legged, shortbodied,
white haired, hog eyed, funny sort
of genius, fresh from some seoond hand
olothioe store, and mounted on 'Tarpole,'
a nit? tailed lone, poor horse, enveloped all
uu i 111 a net work of br,dle reins, cruppers,
martingales, straps, sirgsiugles and red ferreting,
who had re:ned up iu front of Pat.
Niok's grooery among a crowd of wild
mountaineers full of fight and bad whiskey.
I say, you darned ash cats, jist keep
your shirts on, will you ? You never seed
a raal horse till I rid up Tarpole is next
to the best borse that ever shelled nubbins,
and he's dead as a still worm ; poor old
Tickey Tail.'
'What killed him, Sut V said an anxious
inquirer.
'Why, nothin', yon tarnation fool; he
jisr died, standing up at that Warn't that
good pluck ? Froze stiff; no, not adzactly,
but starved fust and then frozed afterwards;
so stiff that when dad and me pushed him
over he jist stuck out so, (spreading his
arms and legs) like a carpenters bench, and
we waited seventeen days for him to thaw
afore we could skin him. Well, thar was
dad an' me, (counting his fingers) dad an'
me, Sal an' Jake?fool Jak* we used to
call him, for short?an' Phineas, an' Simeon,
an' Jonas, an' Cbarlotean, an' Cal
Una an Casbus Henry Ulay, an JNoab JUan
Webster, an' Catherine second, an' Cleopatry
Antony, au' Jane -Lindy, an' Torn
Bullion, and the baby, and the prospect,
an' marm herself, all left without any horse
to crop with. That was a nice mess for a
'spectable family to be slushed about io,
warn't it ? I declare if I didn't feel like
stealin' a horse sometimes. Well, we waited
and rested, and waited until well onto
strawberry time, hoping some stray horse
mout come along but dog my cats ef eny
sioh luck as that ever come whar dad is,
he's so dratted mean, an' lazy, an' savage,
an' ugly, an' tryin'.
Well, one nite dad he lay awake all nite,
a snorin', an' a rollin, an' a whisperin' at
marm, an' Dext morn.n' says he :
'Sut, I'll tell you what we'll do I'll be
hoss myself an' pull the plow while you
drive me, and we'll break up corn ground,
and then the old quilt (that's marm) and
the brats kin plant or let it alone, jist as
they please.'
'So out he goes to the pawpaw thicket an'
peeled a ripht smart chance of bark, an'
marrn an' me made gears fur dad, an' they
becurue him mightly ; then he would have
a bridle, so I gits an old umbrella what I
found?it's a little piece uf iron, sorter
like onto a pitchfork, ye know?an' we bent
and twisted it sorter into a bridle bit, snail
shape, (dad wanted it kerbed, as he hadn't
worked for some time he was afeerfed he
mout feel his oats and go to cavortin )?
Well, when we got the bridle all fixed on
dad, he chomped bis bit jist like a horse,
(he always was a most complicated durned
old fool enyhow an' marm always said so
when he warn't about,) then I put on the
eeat-ao' out dad on' I goes into the field,

KOpoer plow oo n?< back
'When we come to the fence, I let down
a gap , that made dad mad, he wanted to
jump the fence on all fours, boss fashun.

right over the bushes an' sprouts same
as a raal horse, the only difference is he
weot on two legs. Presently we come to
a sassafras patch an' dad, he to act up his
character as a hoss. bulged squat" inter it an'
tore down a hornets nest as big as a hoss
head, and all the tribe kivered him right
strate He rared, kicked once ortwice, an'
fotcheda squeal wus norary hoss in the district,
an' sot into runnin' away jist as natural
as you ever seed.
'I let the plow go and hollored, woa, dad,
woa. but ye mout as well said woa to a locomotive.
Jewhilikins, how he run.
'When he come to a bush, he'd olear it
gopher and all; he thot there mout be another
settlement of bald hornets in it; and
that it was safer to go over than thro, an'
quicker done. Every now aDd then, he'd
paw one side of his bead with fust one fore
leg and then tother; then he'd gin himself
an open-handed slap, that sounded like a
wagon whip, and runnin' all the time and
a carryin' that gopher jist about as fast and
high from the yearth as ever a gopher was
carried, I swar When he cum to the fence,
be busted right thru it, taren nigh unto seven

mightly; and here he left the gopher, gears,
swingletree and-klevis, all mixed, up not
wuth a dern; most of bis shirt struck to
the broken end of a splintered rail, and '
nigh onto a pint o' hornets staid with the
shirt, a stingin' it all over?the balance on J
'em, about a gallon and a half, kept on with
dad Qe seemed to run adsactly as fast as
a hornet could fly, for it was the tightest
race I ever did see; down thru the grass
they all wont, the hornets sorter makin' it'
look like smoke all round dad's head, and
he with nothin' on but the bridle, and nigh
onto a yard 'o plow line^ailin' behind him. j
I seed he was aimin' for the swimmin' hole
in the oreek, whar the bluff is over twenty- I
feet perpendicular to the water, and it's
nigh onto ten feet deep. To keep up his
character as a horse, when be got to the
bluff, he jist leaped off, or rather he jist
kept on runnin'. Now, right thar, boys,
he"over did the thing; if that was what
he was arter, for thar's nary hoss ever foal- i
ded, darned fool enough to leap over siob j
a place; a mule moot have done it, but1

dad's bead. He kept up a peart dodgin'
under, sometimes they'd bit bim and sometimes
they'd hit the water, aod the water
was kivered with drowned hornets.
'What on yearth, are you doin' thar,

'Don't (dip) you see these infernal varmints

Ludicrous Incident.?Oq Thursday
evening, Miss Mary Meridith, in prepariug
the articles of dress necessary for her impersonation
of Pauline., in the "Lady of
Lyons," accidently omitted to put into her
basket a pjiir of shoes. She did not discover
the omission uutil after she reached
the theatre, and was nearly ready to go on.
There was time to repair the error if the
little darkey who waited upon her would
hurry back to her lodgings and get them at
once, so the servant was immediately sent.
But the ourtain rose on the first act before
the little darkey returned, and Bcausant,
(Mr Rodgers,) was doing the agreeable io
his best style to the fair Pauline, (Miss
Meridith,) wheu he and the audience were
both somewhat discomposed by the appearance
on the s'tage of a character not mentioned
in the bills It was the little negro,
who, advancing across the stage to where
Pauline was sitting, presented the shoes,
neatly wrapped up, saying, 'I ran all de

Financial Crash.
That the United States is overtrading is
beyond a question, and that, if this state of
things continues, a collapse, a financial crisis,
compared with which those of '37 and
'57 will have been but a breeze, must necessarily
ensue, is equally true. Up to the
end of November last, the value of the dry
goods alone imported into the single port of
New York, from the beginning of the year,
we see stated, was 881,386,000, against
870,031,000 the previous year in the same
period. While the imports have steadily
increased, the volume of exports of domes.
tic products has as steadily diminished.?
Tbre people, instead of retrenching and
economizing, are thus steadily building up
an additional debt, that must be paid ; a ]
debt that will tax them for the next thirty I
' r
or xoriy years
"A wise man foresoeth the evil and
hideth himself," and all prudent business :
1 men should now take in sail and endeavor i
! to reach safely a harbor. The Secretary of j
' tbe United States Treasury in his able re- i
' port, warned the country that disaster was '
ahead. We had hoped that Congress would ;
i have listened to Mr. McCulloch's advice j
i and suggestion ; but it appears that that
body is not. in accord with him, aod refuses
to listeD to his comprehensive financial
schemes.
We doubt if, since the days of Mr. Ham.
ilton, the United States has had so able a
, financier a? the present Secretary. We have
little hope that his plan for the contraction
of the currency, funding the floating debt,
, and a gradual but sure and safe resumption
of specie payments, will be put in operation
I tko nlnoo nf Pho nppopnt. fisnnt TJClir. Tf.
will evidently require two good crops of
- cotton, ere we can hope fot a resumption of
specie payments. And is there any prospect
that we shall soon have that hope real1
ized? From all quarters of the South, the
' tidings ore that the negroes are working
but indifferently, and that .the planters will
1 not have their sanguine hopes of large crops
gratified. We all know how it is here, in
Virginia If then, the cotton is not made,
! the imports must be paid for in Government
i : securities, and those securities must be sent
abroad as gold. What they will bring will
-1 depend upon the estimate in which our
: ability to pay the enormous debt overhang,
ing us is held in Europe. Already enor)!
mous quantities are held abroad, which, if
, I'sent home for sale and realization, would
t ruio us. We cannot tell what would be
)1 the possible effect upon the securities thus
i held when the currency becomes par; for
. they were mostly sold at one-third less than
their face. One thing, however, is very
- certain?that, from present appearances,
. i there is little hope for an early contraction
t of the currency and the resumption of speI
cie puyineBts. Certainly the South, with
r | her system of labor destroyed and her prcs
ent unsettled condition, can do but little in
averting the impending disaster. Our con,
ditiotf is far different from what it would
! have been had the Southern States been
3 i brought back into the Uuion in a'different
way and by different means We can do
, scarcely auythiug as matters stand, and as
, it seems determined they shall stand, to aid
the North. If the North, instead of practicing
retrenchment .and ceouomy, both
' public and private, goes on in the oareer of
extravagance, importing at the rate of
8400,000^000 a year, all of which has to be
paid for in gold, the erash must come with
I terrible effeot. Prudent, wise reduction cf
( expenses and legislation might lessen the
: force of the blow, but we fear we cannot
escape it altogether. This seems to be the
general impression among the best informed
> and most intelligent business circles at the
I North, and they accordingly setting tbeir

.goods, and In view of the early opening of the spring trade,
we beg to solicit the resumption of the patronage so liber
ally extended to this market in the past.
We are aware thatmany old and respected firms will be
missed from our number, hut many familiar names will be
found in new associations, ready to supply Uic wants of the
Trade, as of yore, and other old and new firms will be added
to our number at an early day.
The casli and short credit system having been universally
adopted in all the Northcrir markets, we are necessarily
compelled to adopt a like system as the only safe one on
which to conduct business, and the heavy per ccntagc once
necessary to cover bad debts will now be nvoided. Small
profits find quick returns will be the rule, and under its
working we hope not only to restore to our ancient city its
former prosperity, but to extend Iter trade to the full extent
of the capabilities her excellent geographical position and
natural advantages afford. Our interest and ambition combine
to stimulate us in attaining this result.
The Soutli Carolina Itailroad is now open to Columbia,
and its President has officially informed us that the Augusta
line be completed to lilaclcvillc this month, and that on
the first of February he will receive through freight to Augusta.
A line of steamers to Savannah will afford faeili
tics for shipping in lhatdircction. it is our purpose to have
In store by tlic last or February a complete anil varied assortment
of goods in out respective lines adapted to (lie
spring trade, and every exertion shall be made to promote
your interests.
We extend to >;ou the hand of commercial fellowship,
and solicit your co'-opcration and patronage In our efforts to
make Charleston the centre of Southern trade. Give us
the encouragement we ask, and you will enjoy all the advantages
of a cheap home market.

GENERAL REMARKS.
Revenue Stamps may be used indiscriminately upon any
of the matters or things enumerated in schedule B, excep
proprietary and playing card stamps, for which a special
Use has been provided..
Postage stamps cannot be used iu payment of the duty
chargeable on instruments.
Ills the duty of the maker of an Instrument to allixand
cancel the stamp thereon. If liu neglects to do so, the
parly for whose use it is made may stamp it before it is
used ; but in no case can ltbe legally used without a stamp
and if used alter the 50th of June, 1864, and used without
a stamp, it cannot afterwards be effectually stamped. Any
failure upon the part of the maker of an instrument to appropriately
stamp it, renders him liable to a penalty of two
hundred dollars.
Suits arv commenced in many States by other process
than writ, viz: summons, warrant, publication,'petition,
Sic., in which case these, as the original process, severally
require stamps.
Writs of scire facias arc subject to stamp duty as original
processes. .
Tlii: jurat of an affidavit, taken before a Justice of the

printed or written evidence of any amount of money to be

The assignment of a mo .gage is subject to the same
stamp duty as that imposed upon the original instrument;
that is to say, t'or every sum of five hundred dollars, or
any fractional part thereof, of the amount secured by the
mortgage, at the time of its assignment, there must be affixed
a stamp or stamps, dcuoting a duty of fifty cents.
When two or more persons join in the execution of an
instrument, the stamps to which the instrument is liable
under tiie law, may be affixed and cancelled by one of the
parties.
lit conveyances of real estate,the law provides that the
stamp affixed must answer to the value of the estate on
interest conveyed.
No stamp is required on any warrant of attorney accompanying
a bond or uote, when such bond or note has affixed
titercto the stamp or stamps denoting thC duty required,
and whenever any bond or note is secured by
mortgage, but one stamp duty is required on such papers,
such stamp duty beltig the highest rates required for such
instruments, or either of tliem. in such case a note or
memorandum of the value or denominaton of the stamp
affixed should be made upon the margin or in the acknowledgment
of the instrument which is not stamped.
