THE SEXES.

THE SEXES.
The North American says there is an
admirable partition Of qualities between
the sexes which the author of our being
has distributed 10 each, with wisdom that
challenges our unbOunded admiration.
Man is strong, Woman is beautiful.
Manis daring and confident Woman
is diffident and unassuming.
Man is great in action; Woman in sui-
fering.
Man shines abroad Woman at home.
Men talk TO convince; Women to per-
suade and please.
Man has rugged heart; Woman soft
and tender one.
Man prevents misery; Woman relieves
it.
Man has science; Woman taste.
Man has judgement; Woman sensibil-
ity.
Man is being Of justice; Woman an
angel Of meyny.

TMan's Chief absorbing interest in
Life, is attending to the wants of the bo-
dy. This every man of experience is
compelled to acknowledge, however desi-
rous he may be to lend his testimony to
the fact of higher and holier objects, en-
gaging the attention of the mass.
The epitaphs of most mon might read
"He ,cdS born. lie t0iied and Worricd
for foot, clothing and squipagc. He
sought the phantom happiness. He died."
If, then, mankind will still persist in at
tending chiefly to bodily wants. all must
admit that health should claim their first
attention.
To all true enguirers, therefore of the
way toregain orpreserve health,we would
say read with candor the advertisement in
this days paper concerning that celebra
ted and truly valuable medicine,

Premature Mterment, or DeS-
ecration of the TOmb.-A few
days since, Mrs. Pierce, the
wife of Jucge Pierce, and Mrs.
Williams, visited the Strangers
Vault, in Greenwood Cemete-
ry, where the remains of the
late Mrs. Maffit were inferred.
On examination they kiscover-
ed that the body of the deceas-
ed had been turned over; her
clothes torn and hair disorder
ed. Whether she was prema-
turely inferred and awoke from
insensibility TO suffer horrible
second death, or whether some
scoundrel desecrated the tomb,
is unknown.-N. Y. Snn.

Recent DiScCrcry,-It has been recent
ly discovered that medicine has been in-
troduced into our community, which is
exciting the public and profession by its
specific action in the cure of long stand
ing and complicated cases of chills and fc-
yer. A cure is warranted, or money ,e-
funded in every instance where a cure is
not effected. 1t is DR.. Bragg's Indian

We understand that it is intended by

hold Festival for the purpose Of raising
means to defray the balance due for plas-
,ering, for stove pipe, and to pay for put

design Of this festival is very commenda-

pleased to see it largely attended, that the
objects had in view may be fully accom-
plished-as such things most usually are,
when undertaken by the ladies. The fes-
iiysl will be held in the Courthouse, on
Wednesday evening, the 9th inst. Let

Christmas BaH.-From the "note Of
preparation" observable within the past
few days, it is reasonable 10 infer that our
young friends expect TO have pretty ex-
;ensive ball IN this place on the evening
of Christmas day. We judge, from the
indications which we have seen, that as
they have not had "irot" here for good
while, they intend to try TO make amends
ioi the long resting spell they have had.

DEATH FROM A SLIGHr CoLD.-By
neglecting those salutary precautions
winch common sense dictates, many, very
many, fall victims 10 their imprudence. =
We have seen the young bride, blooming,
as it were, as the bird of paradise, the fair
flower of hope, the pride of her father,
and the joy of her mother--her cheek
flushed with anticipations, and her eye
beaming with the soft expression of love
the gay dreams of life dancing on her fan
cy with the rich and variegaied tinls oi
the rainbow's promise. We have seen
all this cbanged-aye, the wedding gar
ment for shroud, and the bridal chamber
for the sepulchre of the dead and all
this from neglecting common cold. Now
before it is too late, use DR.. ROGERS

immediate relief, as thousands of our mos
intelligent families now admit Of its mos
extraordinary cures-cures, Too OF sacf

State Music.-We notice in late No.
of the Union Flag, an editorial article
which takes decided opposition TO the pre-
sent militia sy stem, or rather that portion
Of the law which establishes State Band
Of Music. In our opinion it would be as
well the Militia system in this State was
entirely abolished; and we are more con-
yinced Of The ppoprieiy Of this, since the
enaetment Of the present law. We have
no desire 10 see few persons receive
high annual salaries-and do nothing
simply because the honest yeomanry OF
the State do not see proper 10 muster. II
a fund be raised off each individual who
may not desire 10 parade, let it be applied
10 some benevolent or useful purpose, and
not given away 10 few individuals, who
render no valuable service whatever in
rsturn.--Jef Inquirer.
1--we "second that notion" friend
Lusk. There are hundred objects TO
which that fund might be more usefully
and proftably applied, if the present law
Is continued IN iorce. For ourselves, we
have long looked upon the system of this
State, so far as we have witnessed its op-
Grafton, as a most ridiculous burlesque,
and as failing in any and every respect Of
accomplishing any good; and we are free
10 acknowledge that we would like 10 see
the whole system abolished, and the fund
raised under the present law, remain in
the pockets of the people, instead of GO
ing to fatten a set of pensioned govern
ment leeches at the capitol, who are of nc
earthly use to king or country. We hope
the coming session of the Legislature will
abolish Cor domolish, we don't care which
the entire militia system of the State-o
if fund is raised under the present law
lei it be appropriated in some manner that
will result in profit TO the people.

poRK.-As the season for slaughter

PORK.-As the season for slaughter
ing Is now at hand, we take occasion 10
call the attention Of our farmer readers TO
the fact, that the market for pork is now
krly opened, and all persons having any
of this article to sell, may find certain
market for il at this place, at the following
prices: for hogs from $50 to ITO lbs,
I'll so per hundred pounds; from ITO to
200 lbs, $l IS; for 200 and upwards,
so 90 per hundred, one half cash and
the balance in Goods. In some cases, we
understand That all cash is paid for large
and superior lots. The houses engaged
in this trade are Jas. Atkisson, H. II.
White and Everett s. Ashbury. These
gentlemen have been engaged in putting
up Pork for several years, and in the ag-
sregats have paid higher prices for this
article than they were warranted in doing ;
the advantage has always been on the side
OF the farmer.
The Pork trade has been steadily in
creasing at TIN, point from ye7r to year,
and we notice great improvement in the
size and fatness of those hogs brOugh.sto
market the present season. Should the
recent improvements on our river prove
successful, we venture 10 predict that at
no distant period very heavy packing
business will be done at tins point.
