Squire Ilm'?** Co?r^-.l?f;>. Squire Bray, of Caswcll, xumi Ninth Carolina paper, was huuling another wile, hut his son Bob, a wild blade, knocked bun out of it. In the capacious breast pocket of the pquire's great coat reposed a pint tickler well filled, that he only proposed using on bis way back from seeing the widow Brown. Now just before ho started Bob slipped the tickler out and put in its place a small alarm cock, care fully wound up and set for 11 P. M The Equiio had si t the lire out ami j was well on with his overcoat, hold- | ing the widow's hand at tbo door and putting his sweetest licks for tlie last "Yes, your first husband, my dear, was one of my best friends, and we'll visit his and my lost Hannah's graves won't we, love?" "Ah, yes, for where was there a sweeter woman than your poor Hannah ?" asked the widow. ''A good woman; she was good enough, but there's a living one just as sweet," said the squire, and he. was draw ng her to him lor a kiss, when w hi/./, wi/.z z'zzcr-wizzer hiz/.er-iiiig whir-r-r-r . ting ! b.?ng ! the clock went oil'inside of him. 'Oh laud!" scrcumed the widow, "he's shooting to pieces! It's Hannah's old penalty a playiu' in biyeofhiml" 'She'd haunt me ! She alters told me so I" cried the squire, Tunning in a sloop for his horse, with both hands pressed to hi.- breast and ?tbo clock stid striking, tin;, ting He rode like Old Knick was after him, aud never knew the racket till be felt lor his tickler ami pulled out the little clock that Bob hud bought at auction. The widow believes to this day that old man Bray is a walk ing volcano. --?mm mma> . * . - Lx-Jtul^c Carpenter. The C&fudcu i/nii'ii"' of a recent ?date says : This distinguished ex-Judge of tln flfth Circuit is now on a visit to South j Carolina, We regret to state that i Iii? health is very had, and that lu- i? j not the robust, hale looking man that ' ho was five years ago. He gives glowing accounts of the Northwes:, ? aud seems despite his ailings, to be in good spir'us. We really enjoyed a pleasant evening with l.im, and while it was indeed a great pleasure to mee;. him, we were sorry to near him speak so gloomily of the political future ol the south. As a judge h..- was able, fair and impartial, and the ermine, while he wore it was novtrsoiled by him, and for this reas in, ontti 1c of all personal consideration, we value tliini. But his political ideas seemed to us to be far fetched and prejudic ed. He says that the wave which recently gave so many Republican gains is only a gentle breeze just started, which by November nex will have grown into a perfect stonn, sweeping away the last vestige of Democracy outside of the Southern States. He may he right, perhaps ho is, but when u&ked the reasons he cannot give any that are solid, save that of undying hatred upon the part .of i he North against, the South. A Chnerl'iil i'irc.
