Times: ,";

by the peculiar juxtaposition Of a fox and a

the banks. Rcynard, as he o observed the
approach Of his intended prey, betook him.

TENNESSEE.

The Rev. Henry Ruffher, Of Virginia,
who visited Nashville in August last, gives
the following account Of the people.
"You arrive, a stranger at public
house you wish to see men and things,
so you keep good deal about the bar room
and door. Near meal time, you observe
the company increase ; young men and
middle aged men come IN; and as the
minutes wear away, they become restless,
pacing the room near the door that leads
10 tho dining hall, and seeming frequently
% listen, as if they watched for tokens of a
coming person or event. If ignorant of
this custom, your curiousity is excited to
learn the cause oftheir movements and ges.
lures. Wait little, and you will see them
simultaneously rush through the door, and
hurry into the dining room, almost before
you hear the dinner bell. You and other
strangers begin 70 follow. Before you have

. 1He NOBLE DOG.

An affecting incident occurred at Lynn,
on Saturday. A little girl, two years OF
age,a child of Mr.. Ingalls. wandered away
from its parents in the afternoon, and on
the most diligent search could not be found
during the evening. On Sunday morning
the search was renewed by many people
10 vain. An intelligent dog, belonging to
the family, understanding tina. something
was wanting set off in pursuit. In a short
time he returned, and endeavored by signi-
ficant signs to induce some one to follow
him !; but human sagaclty, in this instaLce,
os in many before. was inferior to canine.
Again he went away, and again returned,
and by repeated winnings and fawnings was
at length successful in making himself un,
derstood. A person followed. him, and
found the little sufferer m swamp, where

South CAROLINA TExpERANcE ADVOCATE.
We have received the frst number OF this
paper 1t is published weekly in Columbia on
sheet nearly as large as our own, at too do9'
lars and fty cents per annum, paid in advance,
or three dollars at the close of the year; edl'
ted BY the Rev. julius ]. Du Bose and pub
lished byI. C. Morgan. The paper was set on
foot and is owned by the State Temperance
Society of South Carolina. We consider the
Committee of Publication fortunate in secur.
ina the services Of Mr.. Du Bose as Editor
His character and talents are security that
the paper will prove faithful and able ADvo-
CAFE Of the good cause to which it is devoted.
We are persuaded that, except in extending
the influence Of the Gospel there Is no other
way in which benevolent individuals can 80
eAfsosualiy promote she cause OF social Or
der in South Carolina as by extending the
circulation of the Temperance Advocate.
We take the liberty Of suggesting tina,
Temperance Societies, and where there are
no societies, private individuals take steps
to procure a few copies Of the paper for each

village in the state. ,...,

and its varieties and methods Of cure and
prevention. So far as they can learn,
there is not the least ground to doubt that
the genuine vaccine virus is completely pre-.
venlive Of the small pox but they are fear.
full that much virus has been used that is
no: genuine, andthey are not without appre.
hension that the preventive powers of the
vaccine virus from variolous disease, may
be but temporary, lasting but ten or. fifteen
years. This apprehension is strengthened
by the increase Of small pox Of late, and by
investigations recently Instituted in Europe
upon the subject. :.
Your Committee. therefore, take the lib-
erty of off; ring the following suggestions:
l. That every Physician who attends at
the birth of a child, should see that the child
is vaccnated during its first year. This
will serve to keep most parts Of the State
constantly supplied with virus.
2. That the most careful examination ie
made to ascertain from the appearance Of
the pock and areola, and the symptoms maaj
ifested, that tho virus is genuine, and in sll
cases ofdoubt TO re.vaccinale.
8. That Physicians recommend re-vac-
cination once in ten or twelve years. :,
4. That they. embrace every opportunity
of obtaining the virus directly fromthe sses,
and test its. gepuineness, and endeasbritS.
ascertain from whence the DISEASE in tho
cow originated. ... j.. -

The Charleston CouIer states, on the au'
thority of the annual report Of the President
Of the Bank of Charleston, that this institution
has paid an annual dividend Of 10 per cent on
the capital stock ever since it has been in
operstion, and has surplus of more than
1900, 900. ALI southern banks have been
making large dividends for the last few years.
Their increased profits are, doubtless, owing
to the increased price at which they sell
checks and draughts on northern cities since
the expiration of the U, 8. Bank charter and
the consequent discontinuance ofits branches
in the southern towns. By whom are these
profits paid! By the consumers OF articles
bought at the north, and very large propor-
ton by the agricultural part Of the community.
And who is to blame for this state Of things :?
Not the banks. They are justiiable in avail.
inc themselves of the state of the currency in
the regular course of their business, to in
crease their profits. The people themselves
are to blame; or rather the politicians-the
Office holders and Office seekers-whom the
people suffer to straddle their necks and ride
them at pleasure. That the currency can be
so regulated as to reduce the loss on exchange
almost to nothing was most abundantly proved

time to enter the dining room, you hear
laundering of chairs, succeeded instantly by
sharp confused clatter Of plates, dishes,
knives and forks. When you enter the
room, you find all the most convenient seats
at the table, occupied by a set ofmen, with
heads down and mouths open and pieces
rapidly disappearing from their plates by
the quick three fold operation Of a cut-a
gape-and a swallow. You may take your
seat where you can, and eat as you list
what IS it to them? They see you not,
their eyes are on their plates-they hear
you not, their ears are filled with the music
Of the knives, forks, and glasses. By the
time you are fairly under way with your
meal, you agaln hear the frequent grating
Of chairs on the floor as they rise and de-.

ALL IN YOUR EYE.

A good story was related 10 US to-day by
a member of the bar, who y 5 counsel for
one of the parties. A shsrt time since
Capt H, sailed from the u. States on q
foreign voyage, with q black crew, and
some days before his arrival at Liverpool.
chastised one of them, for dsobedience,
somewhat severely. The man, however,
resumed his duly, and continued to perform
it until they arrived at Liverpool, apparent
Iy :uniuiured--an able bodied and uncom.
planning man but at Liverpool be deserted.
and the Captain heard no more Of him until
his arrival at Boston, long after the whole
affair had escaped from his memory. A
professional letter from Court street an
nounced to him the existence OF q claim q.
gainst him for damages.
Inquiry connected the claim with the above
facts, and informed Capt. H. for the first
time that he had deprived bis man Of one OF
his eyes, and Jack stood there sure enough,
shorn of one of his lustrious orbs-a living
aitesta,ion to the Captains severity and cru
city. Captain H. who by the way seemed to
be kindly and gen,lemanly New. England.
er, felt deeply hurt and grieved 10 his mind,
and expressed the regret he then felt, and
ever must feel, that he had caused the poor
sailor so severe loss, and finally COM
promised the matter by remuneration Of
$500 paid to Jacks counsel. He thea re-
turned to bis vessel and impressed with
sense of pain at the remembrance of the in.
Jury, and of pleasure and ease at the thought
.of having in measure repaired the loss'
! and secured himselffrom farther molesta-
ton on account of it, related to his mates
and men the whole affair, and when ne
called to their minds the time, occasion, and
the person, the men Informed him that Jack
was blind in one eye when he shipped the
same identintical eye for The loss OF which
he had Just recovered 5000 Jack, however,
was gone on spree, and none OF the money
could be recovered. A momentary regret
was occasioned as we reflected on the tri'
umph of villany, but smile gathered on
our brow, and we could not forbear hearty
laugh at Jacks dishonest shrewdness.
