MI? O^X^'AlTT, I A Girl'* Lffc. IM SIX CHAPTERS. CHAPTER I. - BA BY HOOD. The dearest of dimple?, the tiniest face, With a baby'? bewitching, Inscrutable graco, Can wo fancy Just uow ano will go tho whole pace, When her wee head has known soventeon summers ? For now eho's a laugh, and a ki af, and a smile, Looking up at niamirta with shy glance all tho . i while; A coquette in her eradlo, she'll ewcotly beguile With a childish flirtation all oomors. X1 Ii AIT Ell II.-OIBLHOOD. A girl-sweeter far for the shy little look, As she bends o'er a novel, or some lesson book, At eomo nice little boy, 'tis her earliest "fluke," In a game that will end in ber wioniog. Though cynical Byron might snoor at a girl Who enjoys bread and butter, tho tiniest ourl On ber head can set youug thoughts in amo? rous whirl, And the loves of a life are beginning. CHAPTER m.-MAIDENHOOD. Grown older, she grows also sweet and eorono, There's a halo of love around pretty nineteen, And she rules o'er & court, an imperious queen, Whoso commands aro so pleasant to follow. Fair lady, I counsel yon, bring down your bird While he sighs for a smile, while he hangs un a word, For a man's heart, as, doubtless, you oftou have heard, Is terribly vacant and hollow. CHAPTER IV.-MATBONHOOD. You're married-now throw off the flimsy dis? guise, Ee'll look on you now with far different oyes, And you'll feign the politest, serenest surprise, If he ever expects wifely duty. What's tho uso of a husband but this, so you'll say. Just to hear all your whims, and to grin, and to pay, He's a? bore, too, sometimes, when ho stops in the way J . Of a victory won by your beauty. " CHAPTER V.-MOTHERHOOD. You've childron? Ab, well: keep them safely . np stairs, Lot them play.with the nursery tables and chairs, They're a Bourco of annoyanco and infinito car'oB, If once you begin any. nursing. You've too many visits-to mako and receive, And you've too many pleasures from morning tm ovo, And you've too many balls, where you'll dance ind deceive In a part that uecds little rehearsing. CHAPTER VI.-THE END. Is the talo well nigh told ? Has tho end como at last, When the pleasures and Bins of your lifo aro all past, And a something is creeping your heart round so fast That you gasp for a breath? With stern face ho Comes in who will strip off tho tinsel and gold, And your heart will coaao beating-your face will grow cold. And the sod and tho daisies upon you bo rolled And I sigh-''Iiequieacalin pace." TUe Illida Have Flown. Last week our Sheriff, with a strong posse, -carried hence thirteen of tho jail birds to the State Penitentiary at Colum? bia, under the order of the Court. Some of these birds of plumage will remain there until their plumage assumes a dif? ferent hue-their sentences varying from one to thirty years. Of the posse that assisted Sheriff Col? lins in removing the prisoners to their future destination, was our old corpulent friend, Charles W-. Tho best of us have our failing, but friend Charles hns an uncommonly strange disposition to bo a "hail fellow" with evorybody-espe? cially with any ono of hoto whom ho has ever seeri. Governor-then General Scott, during a visit to our village in thc palmy days of the Bureau, two or three years ago, had occasion to lodge several days with this samo Charles, who was jailer at that time-a small circumstance which has ever been a subject of moBt gratifying recollection to our rotund friend. Tho facts "will explain tho following scene, which is reported to have taken place at Columbio, last week: Scene-Piazza National Hotel-Charles with tho Sheriff and others of tho posse awaiting breakfast-."-Charles observes Governor R. K., just arrived from Charleston, ndvancing up tho street. As the Governor approaches opposito to where Charles etauds, Charles gives vent to a series of peculiar snorts not unsimi lar to those doleful sounds ono frequent? ly hears emanating from a big bull-frog, as he sits on bis tussick near a stagnant pool in the twilight of evening, signifi? cant of tho fact that he knows a meeting with His Excellency will give him conse? quence among his companions. The Governor approaches still nearer. Charles snorts with increased forco and glances triumphantly at the Sheriff nud the rest, who stund abashed in tho pre? sence of the "big mau," now growing bigger. The Governor is opposito to Charles and is rapidly passing by. Charles, chagrined at tho fnilue of His Excellency to notice him, and fooling his dignity at stake, advances: "Gov'nor, how d'ye." The Governor-turning in blank as? tonishment at the rudely familiar saluta? tion-"Pardon me-nw-I-did any one accost me?" Charles-"Why, Gov'nor, you hain't forgot me, have ye? don't yon remem? ber you boarded with mo fifteen days once, when I was jailor at Marion?" Thc Governor-evidently disconcert? ed, hastily interrupts-"Ah-hem I I had forgotten-I-have the pleasure-that is I am pleased to recognize you-I have a pressing-that is-I must beg you to ex? cuse me just now"-leaving. Charles-"I'll want to seo yo 'fore I leave, Gov'nor, and talk over old mattera, you know-I'll allers remember when you boarded fifteen-" Tho Govoruor-excessively annoyod "Hem-yes-Mr. Wiggins, I shall bo glad to see yon at my room-that is at 10 o'clock. Good morning." Moves hurriedly off. Charles-"Well, I'll seo ye," (raising his voice as the Governor walks off.) "O, Gov'nor, toll Doctor Nagle I'll call for the draft for the money tho State owes me for keeping tho jail." Tb* Governor bowa ia. the distance] and acceleratesbia pace. Charles, vociferating-"You can tell Niles Parker, too", Gov'nor, that I'll want him to fork over the money on jNafrlfV draft." Governor suddenly turns the corner and is seen n?-more.' Wo have ejnce learned that Charles dirt visit ? the. /Governor-Vros jreceived very handsomely-introduced, to tho members of his household; nrtd in particular, dan? dled one of His Excellency's "young hopefuls" on his big knee. * Charles remained over a day and re? turned home last Sunday, with an aug? mented sense of his own importance, but without his money.- Marion Sta)\ -!-' ,AU .-i THE Corroa? SureiiY.-A rcceut do spatch from London states, in effect, that a deputation of gentlemen repre? senting tho Lancashire cotton trade, have united Jin a request to tho Duke of Argyle to obtain Government assist? ance in the production of cotton in tho British colonies. They set forth thc grout depression in trade at present, nud show that relied can only bo lind by Government lending aid to enable ludia to develop tho growing of cotton, so as to compote with.the United States. There is something in this movement both instructive and ohoering to tho Southern planter of cotton. It proves that after a four yearn' suspension of cotton cultivation in the South, nud the extraordinary measures used by the British Government during that period to stimulate its cultivation in its Eastern possessions, and render ther spinners in? dependent of the United States, and, furthermore, notwithstanding the crip? pled condition of thc planting interests of the South since the close of tho war, England still finds horself unable to com? pete with ns in the production of the great staple. At lost accounts, middling uplands was emoted in Liverpool at 12^'d., and yet, with tho nrticlo at this high price, we find the East still unable to furnish it at n profit, nnd tho Lan? cashire spinners calling upon tho Go? vernment to enoonrago production by bounties and other fostering legislation. Tho faots stated put tho cotton culturo of the United States on high ground. Whilo no moro is produced than now, it is clear that wo shall have control of tho market. On the other hand, the pros- ! peet for increased production is moro favorable here than in tho East, and England will always find her progress more than offset by our own. Tho re? tirement of negroes from tho border States to the cotton States before the tide of white immigration, the indus of a large population from China and Japan, and our improved systems of culture, will bring down field labor and make us the permanent masters of the situntiou. This seems to us clear, provided always that tho Government shall cease to in? terfere between capital and labor at the South, and bend its energies to a resto? ration of political union and harmony. If the present war is kept up against the cot tun planting interests, wo can hope for nothing. Our own early impover? ishment and nntional bankruptcy must be the results. If public prosperity nnd national greatness are to be subordi? nated to the aggrandizement oin politi? cal party, tho time will soon como when tho spinners of Lancashire must rely on successful production in tho East, or make up their minds to starve. [Savannah Republican. The English papers record a tolerably smart mot, that is attributed to Earl Cla? rendon, the present foreign minister for Great Britain. Mr. Sumner, after liv? ing into advanced ago a bachelor, mar? ried, threo years since, a young widow of great personal attractions. Recently, tho man and wifu have, on tho ground of incompatibility of temper, separated. Lord Clarendon being asked what im? pression Mr. Sumner's late speech had made upon him, answered: "I have read it, sir, with much interest, and have formed from it a very high opinion of Mrs. Sumner." Three colored children, aged respec? tive^' five, eight, and eleven, were drown? ed in tho Kalamazoo River, at Allegan, Michigan, recently, by their step-mo? ther, who was jealous of them. Tho woman had been married to the father of tho children but a few weeks. At the point in the river where the children were drowned, tho water is only about two feet deep, and, as the mother con? fessed, tho children were held under tho water until lifo was extinct. One of the most powerful labor organ? izations in this country has been formed by the journeymen shoemakers of Mas? sachusetts, nuder the titlo of "Knights of St. Crispin." Tho guild now com? prises about 50,000 members, 40,000 of whom are employed in the boot and shoe producing towns of tho Bay Stute. GEO. HUGGINS' FJIIE A ND LIFE Insurance Agency.
