Can we ever forget when he joined the bravo band, Who rose in defence of our dear Southern land. And, in his bright youth, harried on to the fray. How proudly he donned it-the jacket of grey? , His fond mother blessed him, and looked np above, Commending to Heaven thc child of hor love; What anguish was hcr's mortal tongues may not say, When he passed from oar sight, in the jacket of grey.

Unsheathed was the sword, and lighted the brand; We heard in the distance the sounds cf tho fray, And prayed for our boy in thc jacket of grey.

HOTEL LIVING IN NEW YORK.-The proprietors of the Broadway hotels are talking seriously of raising their prices of board from ?$4.50 to $6 per iay, not because they have grown immensely wealthy at the former figure, but because they believe they oan obtain the latter rates as easily; and I believe they can. As it is, the landlords are unable to accommodate the crowds of applicants for board, and they are inclined to establish a tariff, out of pure benevolence to their guests, of course, that will give their customers more room. The prices which some persons pay at the fash? ionable hotels are remarkable. There are families *t the Fifth Avenue who give $500 to $600 a week for their mere lodging and boarding privileges, while their ' 'extras" will reach $300 to $400 more.-New York Letter. A London paper publishes a de? scription of a curious invention, de? signed to catch safe burglars. The depredator no sooner commences, in perfect ignorance of the secret ar? rangements, to force open the door, drill the lock, or move the safo; than by so doing he sends a telegraph message to tho nearest police oflioe, exhibiting the number of thc safe he is attacking, and this number, regis? tered in the police books, has oppo? site to it the address of the house in which the robbery is being effected. AFTER THE STYLE OF HUGH MILLER. That remarkable jonrnnal of civiliza? tion, which in its rage, for progress seems to have jumped over the moon, thus speaks of Gen. Slocum. Gen. Patrick and the other gentlemen that were cn the Democratic ticket at tho late election in New York: "The parade of fossiis of the Silu? rian. Devonian and even remoter ge? ological eras, as fresh-caught seeeders from the Union party, was only calcu? lated to provoke a smile. " A clergyman, at tho examination of the young scholars of his Sunday school, put the following question: "Why did the children of Israel set up a golden calf?" "Because they had not money enough to purchase a COW." IHAVE resumed tho PRACTICE OF LAW. Office at Greenvillo. NOT i_WADDY THOMPSON. Council Chamber, COLUMBIA, NOVKMBRB 2*, 1865.
