He's an old, old-fashioned party, Called the honest man, who pays; Yes?the honest man who pays Every dollar he may owe, Keeping up the good old ways That so many scarcely know. If he gives a word of promise 'Tis a bond as good as gold; If he holds a post of honor, Not a trust is ever sold; By the honest man who pays Every debt he may incur. Yielding each a just reward, And no grudging or demur. And I'm told this rare old party Lives?within his income, won By the fairest, squarest dealing We see beneath the sun. And the honest man who pays Always holds it good and right, For the rich to help the needy When the times are tough and tight. ' Bnrying the Hatchet. Not long ag?, Gen. E. B. Vance, a member of Congress from North Caroli? na, made a most patriotic and conciliato? ry speech. In the course of his remarks, he was interrupted by Mr. Kelly, of Pennsylvania, who spoke as follows : I happened to be, on last Decoration Day, in one of the towns of South Caro? lina, when I saw a lady decorating as I had never seen a grave decorated, fram? ing it in sprays of arbor vitfe and letter? ing it beautifully, "as the grave of some? body's loved one." On returning to my hotel I inquired who the soldier was, and learned from a Northern geutleman, who has passed many winters there, that it was a straggling Union soldier who had died of his wounds in that town?Aiken, South Carolina. He also told me that the lady whom I had seen decorating that grave with such care was, to use his phraseology, a rebel's wife, who prayed that somebody might decorate her son's unknown grave. From Augusta, Georgia, my son and his companions, eight in number, re? turned in the evening; they had gone thithor in the morning in roystering spir? its, as is the wont of youth, to see the fes? tivities} of the day, a procession and the unveiling of a monument to Confederate soldiers, and they tell with emotion of the tenderness with which they had seen the ladies of that city decorating the graves of the boys who had worn the blue. I would heal the wouDds of the war; and want to say to the gentleman from North Carolina and others from the South that they must not judge the spirit of us of the North by votes we may give on par? ticular bills or special clauses. And, in conclusion, I now say to him as I have said to my own people and to those of Georgia and through him to the people of the entire South, treasure every tattered flag under which you fought; treasure every broken flag-staff as sacred relics; but attach to each, if you can, its whole story : let it tell all who may be? hold it how many hopefpl youths, how many stalwart men marched forth under it; let it tell where they died, where they were maimed, what widows and or phans were made by the gallantry with which that tattered flag or broken staff was borne. I say to those who wore the grey and to those who wore the blue pre? serve every memento of your valor and your sacrifices, for the day will come when all the people will treasure every memento Qf American courage and sac? rifice made in that great war. ("Ap? plause.] The day will come when those trophies, blending together as the dyes of yonder flag blend, will be cherished as among the richest heritages of a united and unbroken American people, and will warn our countrymen through all time of the terrible cost that would attend an attempt from any quarter to dismember the American Union. [Applause.] It is said that, upon the conclusion of Mr. Kelly's speech, Hon. Ben Hill walked over to the speaker and heaitily congratulated him. Just about that time, Senator Morton, at the other end of the capitol, was reviving the memories of his glorious exploits during the war, and waving the bloody shirt, which he had had freshly .sprinkled for the occa? sion. ? Air. Stewart's last business act was the personal supervision of an advertise? ment for the newspapers. He never found he was doing as much business as he cared to do. He believed in newspa? per advertising, and readers by the thou? sand; and strangely enough never reached the point of imagining himself and his great establishment so well known that advertising was unnecessa j A "Wonderful Subterranean Pal ate. Recent proceedings in the Hungarian Parliament disclosed a most remarkable discovery. The story, as condensed from the official reports, is tha? two peas? ants, from the valley of Ivan-Egerzeg, near the ancient city of Vezprim, and not far from Lake Balaton, came to Pesth, and to a jeweller offered some broken fragments of what evidently wns some very old golden ornaments* for female wear, probably a bracelet or band for the upper arm. The jeweller questioned the shepherds, and, their answers being unsatisfactory, he had the men arrested on suspicion of being thieves. On the examination they told a tale which was so astonishing that it was communicated to the Minister of the Interior, and this functionary ordered an investigation by scientific officers.. The information of I the shepherd was, that in the woods skirt? ing Ivan Egerzeg, where they had some huts for shelter when out at night, they had been digging at a little hill. Sud? denly they came upon what appeared to be a square structure of brick walls, with a stone covering the aperture. Removing this stone, they found that those walls enclosed an opening into the earth, and resolved to sound its depth. Lowering a stone tied to a rope, they ascertained that the shaft, about three feet in diameter, or nine square feet, descended perpen? dicularly to a depth of over a hundred square feet. The pebble they had low? ered reached what seemed like a stone floor beneath, and from the sound itself they judged that this opening must lead to some large subterranean cavern or hall. A day or two afterward the shep? herds were again at work They pre? pared a small square board, freighted with stones, and in the centre of it they {)laced three lighted candles. This they et down through the shaft, and by the light of the candles they saw distinctly that the inner sides of the shaft were smooth and apparently endeded in some large apartment. They nest prepared a rope ladder of the requisite length, se? curing several lanterns, and theu one of j them let himself down the shaft. At the bottom he stood in wonderment as he gazed upon a large square hall, the walls covered with faded paintings, chairs, benches and tables standing around, or? namented with gold and ivory, and large heavy doors, hung on golden hinges, leading to other rooms. The shepherd climbed the ladder and told his compan? ion of the discovery. Both of them went down together, and found them? selves in a succession of rooms abounding with elaborately carved furniture of a style they had never seen before. In some ol them were low, large stands, evidently once used for beds; there were also clos? ets, beaureaus containiug armlets, rings, medals, coins, daggers, chains, swords, shields and halmete. There were also breastplates of leather, covered with iron and studded with ornaments in gold. Some of the armlets they took away, broke them up and carried them to Pesth for sale, in which transaction they were arrested, as above stated. The officers of the Hungarian Min? istry of the Interior began their investigation under the ancient law which makes all such discoveries the property of the crown, and their report, as communicated to Parliament, is still more startling. Their researches clearly establish it as a fact that this subter? ranean structure was undoubtedly an old Roman castle, built many centuries be? fore the Huns and Magyars left their Asiatic homes to invade this part of J Europe. This section of Hungary was the province of Pannonia, of the Roman Empire, and in the vicinity of Lake Balaton there was a large permanent Roman camp, the agricultural and mili? tary settlements of the Romans extend? ing for many miles, and traces of this Roman occupation, which continued down to the sixth century of the Chris? tian era, have repeatedly been found. But how this vast structure, which is said to cover two acres, and built two stories high, with massive walls of stone and brick, was covered with earth to the depth of more than sixty feet, over which a forest of heavy timber had grownup? a forest, too, that is mentioned as exist? ing in the oldest preserved chronicles of | the kingdom the officers have so far found, is impossible to account for. In ope room several skeletons of human be? ings have been found, but the bones were too much decayed to indicate with cer? tainty the race to which they belong. A thorough search of this wonderful build? ing is now proposed. The shaft through which the first discovery was made is be? lieved to have been either a chimney or an observatory or lookout, as iron hooks have been found fastened to the wall in? side, to which means of ascent and de? scent were probably attached. Farming as a Business.?As a busi? ness, farming has not ranked with other* | branches of business, such, for instance, as manufacturing and the like. It has been conducted loosely, without any spe? cial regard to order or system. Few far? mers think it necessary to keep a set of | books in which to make entries of their transactions. No account is kept of the sales of stock, grain, etc., and none of the purchase of supplies. No notice is taken of the actual cost of producing a crop. When the end of the year comes they have very little idea bow much they have made or lost. Now suppose merchants and other business men should adopt this slipshod policy of carrying on their bus? iness, what would be its condition in a very short time? Would it not be miser? ably jumbled up ? And would not this state of things lead to bankruptcy and ruin? The same argument why merch? ants should conduct their business upon systematic plans applies with equal force to agriculture. If the one is a business, so is the other, and if the one finds it in dispensable to keep an accurate record of its entire proceedings, so the other will find it equally important. The farmer will suffer and suffer prodi giously, if he never knows the state of his business. It is an easy matter for him to record every sale he makes or ev ery purchase. There is no necessity of his being a scientific book-keeper to do this. Many of them have sons competent to do this work, and it is a good school? ing for them. In England farming is carried on systematically as any other business. No one pretends to conduct his operations without a regular set of books; and many wealthy farmers em? ploy book-keepers just as our merchants do. The result i3 that every farmer can tell at the close of each year, just how he stands, how much he is out, or what he has made or lost. The American farmer, as a rule, does not know how much he is making or losing. He is moving in the dark all the time, and must remain in the dark continually if he pursues the hap hazard policy which, as a rule, he now follows. Now, farmers, let us give this matter a littlo attention; self-interest and common sense demands it. Just try it one year. It is a great source of in formation as well as usefulness. A New Fashionable Affectation. ?The most popular affectation among young ladies ravenous for social notoriety is the "Florida cough," which is regarded by those who have been abroad as a fine substitute for "Roman malaria," so fash? ionable a few years ago. The Southern malady is supposed to be contracted sit? ting on the piazza of a Magnolia or Jack? sonville hotel, flirting and eating oranges alternately. Those who have never been near either place suffer dreadfully from the disease.?New York Gazette. ? The Duke of Wellington used often to remark that the secret of success lay in embracing every opportunity of being useful ; and that he never forgot the golden rule which he learned in the cat? echism, "of doing your duty in that sta? tion ot life to which it shall please God to call you." This was the secret of j David's n^cess. THE SOUTH AND THE UNION. Address of an ex-Confederate Kentucky Soldier at the Dedication of a Monu? ment. Col. W. C. P. Breckinridge delivered an address at the dedication of a monu? ment to the Confederate dead, in Bowl 'ng Green, Ky., on Tuesday. He re? ferred to the course and cause of the South in the late war, aud then said: "But whether we wish it or not, we are of necessity citizens of this Republic, and there are only two courses before us?one to fold our arms and say it is none of our affair?live in the past and abnegate our manhood in the present. The other to acknowledge our allegiance and perform our whole duty as citizens. We ask no favors?we make no claims. We are cit? izens equal with all other citizens, with free tongues and brave hearts. We love liberty and mean?God willing?to aid all who desire to preserve it. We unite with all good citizens to preserve to our? selves and to posterity the blessings of J good government, administered under the law, and we reserve the privilege of | resisting as may be necessary all who may attempt to usurp those powers or filch those rights; binding our children to no other and different pledge than that to which our fathers bound us, and to which all alike are equally bound. We bear no malice. We keep alive no ani? mosities. We make no confessions of | guilt. We loved the cause and our com? rades. We love their memories. We will honor their graves. We stand by their orphans; but we do this without bitterness to any one and without apolo? gy. While we remember that Lee and Breckinridge died proscribed, and Louis? iana and South Carolina are held by the throat, we wait without impatience or servile importunities for the dawn of a purer and better day?confident that no Polands can be kept enslaved in this country, that all will be free or all en? slaved, and that the liberties of every State are equally at stake, and the day of | a true amnesty is not far distant. We are not prodigals who return confessing that our substance has been wasted in riotous living, even though fatted calves be killed for our feast, and golden rings be ready for our fingers. We simply claim that we are equal citizens of a com? mon country, in which, with God's aid, we will strive to do our part. This is the true basis of reconciliation. A man? ly defense of the causes for which we fought, a frank confession of what was lost, and an honest avowal of our pur? poses to perform all the duties of citizen? ship. More than this would be craven and untrue; less than this unwise and undutiful. Brave men will believe and trust us; patriotic men will welcome our aid; free men will applaud us, and thus, true sons of our mother Commonwealths, and faithful citizens of our common country, we will.do our part to secure to every State and citizen the blessings of constitutional liberty. We will build up our own States by a wider education, in fuller development, and a more liberal culture, and thus add to the strength and glory of the common government, ad? ministered according to the principles of j a revered constitution, and loved because it will be just, impartial and pure. We will do our part to maintain for all citi? zens and every State the inalienable and inestimable rights of American liberty, regaining what may have been taken, preserving what remains, securing to the common government its just powers and true glory. We will strive to realize the glorious vision of our sires?a free coun? try of sovereign States, so strong that all will respect it, so just that all will obey it, so free that all will love it; a country where to do right is the whole compul? sion, to prevent wrong the sole restraint; where fealty is, through love and obedi? ence, an act of the heart. We, my com? rades, stand not in the way of the realiza? tion of this bright future. Let the curse of the patriot fall upon those who do." Benjamin H. Wilson. Another representative South Caroli? nian is no more. Colonel Benjamin H. Wilson, of Georgetown, died on Tuesday morning, at the residence of Colonel C. Irvine Walker, in this city. Colonel Wilson was born at Montenna Plantation, Georgetown District, in 1818. His early education was acquired under the auspices of the venerable "Winyah Indigo Society," and by them he was 3ent to the South Carolina College, where he graduated with distinction in the class of 1839. He studied law in the office of Henry A. DeSaussure, Esq., in Charles? ton, and after his admission to the Bar commenced the practice of law in Georgetown, where he continued to re? side and to practice his profession with? out intermission until his death, in his fifty-eighth year. He soon acquired the confidence and esteem <e his community and obtained a large and remunerative practice, which he retained to the end. He was at one time a law partner of Judge Robert Munro, one of the last of the old Judges of South Carolina who survives, and he was subsequently the partner of Judge A. J. Shaw, who was one of his warmest and most intimate friends. He always took an earnest and decided part in public affairs, and repre? sented the Parish of Prince George Winyah in the Legislature for many suc? cessive years, in the House of Represen? tatives, and afterwards in the Senate. For this service his temperament pecu? liarly fitted him, and few men in the State have exercised a more widespread personal influence on all questions of | State concern than he did. The tradi? tions of "The Mess," in which he lived during the sessions of the Legislature in Columbia, will long be remembered for their genial hospitality and the large social and personal influence which they exerted. Earnest, brave and fearless, he was genial and cordial, and attached every one to him by his attractive and lovable qualities. His friendships were life-lomj, and survived through' good report and evil report. There was no sacrifice that he was not always ready and willing to make for his friends, except the mainte? nance of a principle and the performance of a duty. In politics he was an earnest State Rights Democrat. A fervent champion of the "Parish system" of the State, he was one of the earliest and most consistent advocates of the State's closer union with the National Democratic party, and participated in its Conven? tions. He was a member of the National Democratic Convention which met in Charleston in 1860, and his last labor was in the Convention which recently met in Columbia to re-organize the Dem? ocratic party in the State. He for many years conducted the Geoigetown Times, and in journalism dis? played the same qualities as in politics? outspoken, uncompromising earnestness, tempered by the genial kindness and generosity of his nature. Alter the war he was appointed by the Federal authorities Provost Marshal of | Georgetown, and the fearless and impar? tial manner in which he discharged the important duties committed to him com? manded the respect of all classes of the community. He was a member of the Episcopal Church, and took the most earnest inter? est in its affairs, being for many years a Vestryman of the Church in Georgetown and a delegate to its Diocesan Conven? tions. He was prevented from attending the recent meeting by his last illness. Col. Wilson's death was not wholly un? expected, but the pain and the sorrow will, for this, be none the less severe at the thousand firesides where he was known and admired. It had been hoped that he, still in his mellow maturity, might have lived to witness the political redemption of the people whom he loved so devotedly and served so well. Then, indeed, would the highest aspiration of j his later years have been realized and his dearest wish accomplished.?Charleston Nexes and Courier, Yllh inst. Kissing the Bride?The custom of I kissing the bride at a nedding is of great antiquity, and while among the most re? fined classes it has fallen into disuse, it is still insisted on by many people with great-rigor. A very amusing story is told of a Kentucky backwoodsman who had, after a long and ardent courtship of the belle of one of the Kentucky cities, won her for a bride. She had for a long time wavered in her choice, undecided wheth? er to take him or a gentleman of wealth and position in the city, but finally choosing the humbler lot in obedience to her heart. The wedding was celebrated in great style, and the manly groom was almost as much admired for his colossal proportions and athletic symmetry as was the bride for her exceeding loveliness. Among the guests was the unsuccessful suitor, who was well aware of the jealousy with which the groom had regarded him but who had overcome his chagrin at his failure and was sincerely anxious to con? gratulate the bride. One by one the Suests offered their good wishes and their earty kisses, while the groom looked on with approval and delight. At length among the rest came the rejected lover. The young groom watched him keenly, but without the least animosity in his expression. The unfortunate rival felt the delicacy of his position, and not car? ing to provoke the husband's ire he did not proffer the salute which was custom? ary. As he was giving place to others af? ter wishing the newly married pair well, the groom grasped his arm with his iron fingers, and in a low tone said: She's my wife now, and I propose to see that she is treated as well as ray wife should be treated. If you don't kiss her I'll break every bone in your body." Rather than quarrel the gentleman kissed the not unwilling bride, and the groom was satisfied. ? Stammering.?A gentleman who stammered from childhood almost up to manhood gives a very simple remedy for the misfortune. "Go into a room where you will be quiet and alone, get some book that will interest but not excite you, and sit down and read two nhours aloud to yourself, keeping your" teeth together. Do the same thing every two or three days, or once a week if very tiresome, al? ways taking care to read slowly and dis? tinctly, moving the lips but not the teeth. Then, when conversing with others, try to speak as slowly and distinctly as pos? sible, and make up your mind that you will not stammer. Well, I tried this remedy, not having much faith in it, I must coufess, but willing to do almost anything to cure myself of such an an? noying difficulty. I read for two hours aloud with my teeth together. The first result was to make my tongue and jaws ache, that is, while I wa3 reading, and the next to make me feel as if something bad loosened my talking apparatus, for I sould speak with less difficulty imme? diately. The change was so great that 3very one who knew me remarked it. I repeated the remedy every five or six days for a month, and then at longer intervals until cured." All Sorts of Paragraphs. ?

No snails, worms or green moss gets about the water. It is free from rust or other impurities, and can be operated by a small child with ease, and brings the water fresher than any oth? er Pump. It is of stone, glazed inside and outside, and never will decay. It improves the water beyond a doubt by ventilating the well, and keeping it like a moving stream of | water. With a hose attached, it becomes a good fire-engine, ever ready at your door to extinguish the flames in case of fire. It is better and cheaper than insurance. Its work? ing gives complete satisfaction, as those acquainted with it will testify. It is a home enterprise, permanently established, and relies on its own merits, upon which it asks your patronage. This Pump is represented in Anderson and adjoining Counties, together with the Counties of Hart and Elbert in Georgia, by aloitzo Xj. welch:, Anderson C. . IT., S.

"The ANSON HARDY CUTTING MACHINES are the best and cheapest low priced machine made, and have a national repntation for utility and du? rability."?(The Electro-typer, Chicago.) "The ANSON HARDY PAPER CUTTER is by far the best machine which can be obtained for a less price than one hundred dollars. It is of great strength. ? "These machines have always taken the highest stand. It is the only machine to which is applied the patent Movable Cutting Board. This device has a reputation of itself; by it, the cutting board can be instantly and accurately moved, so that a perfect cut is insured. This is a very important point in this machine, and one that is possessed by no other. It greatly reduces the labor or preparation in work? ing the paper backward and Jorward. We cannot too strongly recommend the advantages of this pat? ent movable board. It is worth the price.of this machine, and purchasers should fully understand how highly it is to be valued:"?(RoweU'i & Co.'a Monthly Reporter and Printer's Gazette.) The LATEST IMPROVED HARDY CARD CUTTER is pronounced the most eesikable C^kd Cutter in the market, for the general uses of a printing office. |_ The well-known EUGGLEfl CARD CUTTER with my latest improvements, is sun preferred by many printers, and holds its favoritism over othsr machines. . . , .?:-,'() -8S- None genuine but these having1 my fall ad? dress lettered in the castings.
