A IltisEA ADVERTBED. B low we copy an advertise-
ment from the Cleveland Plaiadealer :—" My 1 A to husband,
Isaiah Faulkner, has lately advertised to the pubbe that I
have lett his bed and board without aoy provocation, and
that ha will pay no debts of my contracting. Now, it is
true that I have left him, but not his bed or board, II
Inver had a bed that was not borrowed, nor any board"
worth hawing, except the last spring freshet. Al tor pay-
ing debts, nobody will be wiser fur his advertisement ; he
bas hard work to get to owe any, and don't pay on principle
when he does. His promisee are poor moonshine, and his
credq a "dried up" balloon. I hereby give notice to all
married and unmarried women to be on their guard against
his coaling round—he is rcd heeded and 'angerous.
Put him out; don't trust, hi:n on my account—Jane
Faulkner."

CHARLSTON Swag.—The oorstant sea b-rez t and the
skilful arrangements for ventilation make even the. simmer
'heats endureble withia the city; but beyond it, on the
marshes, the season as its perils. The Swamps, always
unhealthy, are especially danger.ui by night. To sleep on
a rice plan!atiou is a risk the nativea have been taught by
long experience to avoid. By day the grounds may he
traversed with impunity, but the night air, "sleepinz got,"
is fatal. Rail% ays have superseded the river steamers as
the mode of conveyance to the nuntry districts • to rains
the last trair, therefore, at the close cf day's excu' sin",
is a more serious dilemma than being similarly stranded at
Ge-enwich or Richmond. The course in such a case is to
hunt up some friendly home in a " pine barren," these
tracts being less liable to the sickly icflience of the marshes
pr. ,
-per • or, if that is impracticable. to return to the mane on
you have left and literelly- make a night of it, kindling
a large wood B,e, as one means of defying the foul fiend
malaria, and assisting the defence with cigars and brandy
and water. Sleep must be kept cif by every expedient;
nor must you venture out till the sun is well above the boil
sou. One might be tempted to risk the danger once for
the variety of the bivouac; but the seniors shake their
Leads, Ind would rather not.—Lettv in the Times.
