REGISTER AND HERALD, WINNS

We observe in the Register Of Saturday,
received here Saturday night, that friend
Britton has disposed Of his interest in those
papers, to Mr.. D. Wyatt Aiken; therefore
the Register and Herald hereafter will be
under the management of Messrs Gillaird g.
Aiken. Although pleased to number Mr.
Aiken among the editorial corps, and know
ing from his attainments, that he will dis.
charge his duties alike creditably to himself
and proftably to his patrons, still, we are
sorry to part with friend Britton, and hope
ere long to find him engaged in the same
vocation in some other locality in the State.
p. s. Tho proprictors of the Register
have been in the habit of sending us Friday 5
and Saturdays paper by the cross mail
which leaves Winnsboro on Saturday morn
ing, (for which favor we are extremely OBJ
lged) but Of late, we have received the pa
per of those days about the Wednesday fol-
lowing, in most mutillated condition, so
saturated with water, and besmeared with
mud, that we won Id rather it would have
remained on the road. Last Saturday night
however, we received one which looked like
a new pin, for the print is beautiful. We
trust the Proprietors will send US the paper
on Saturday by the cross mail, it is Of con-
siderable advantage to us.

Fearing we are making this article rather
long, We will conclude by making one more
observation.
Byron says, Curiosity is loto vice, and
he loathes 1t. his low, mean and contemp-
table. In this republican country, every one
who has little ofthis worlds goods, and is
lot guilty of any heinous misdemeanor, is
considered gentleman. There are not
however, superabundance of gentlemen
according to the English term in our land
One of the greatest marks of gentleman
in our opinion, is to see him attend to his
business and deal chdritably with all men.
"ln all things is there n fitness discord
with discord hath its music.
And the harmony of nature is preserved
by each one knowing his place"

MISCELL ANEOUS,
Business in Charleston.
TANKS OWN BARD.

TIE fall business is fairly open and
promises better than it has ever done at
any other period Of our history. A gen
netiman engaged in extensive business, q
Jew days ago informed us, that he has sold
more goods already than during the whole
OF last season. His is perhaps a solitary
instance OF such excessive increase, but
every consideration concurs in the belief
that the increase has been general.
Ihe causes of this are various. There
are many from the States of Alabama and
mississippi, who have been in the habit of
RECEIVING portion of their fall supply from
Eew,orleans, they are thrown upon
Charleston; there are others who were
IN the habit of purchasing in New York
ior shipment by way Of New Orleans.
The channel through New Orleans being
closed, they have been compelled to come
70 Charleston. Added to this, there is
more money in the country than there
mas ever been at any time before, and the
facts that through the extension of our
railroads, larger tract of country has
become tributary to this road, that Charles
ton has been more healthy than any
other city upon the Atlantic coast. and
we have causes which together nigh,
pave very naturally prepared us for what
mas come to pass.-- Charleston Standard

TO WHO, TO WHO.


NThe following very clever dun was
written by Percy Howe, editor of the Pine
Knot
Twas on cold autumnal night,
A dismal one to view,
Dark clouds obscured fair Venus light,
And not n star appeared in sight,
As the thick forest through,
Muggins-ss usual-"blue,"
Bent homeward, tacking left and right,
When all at once he brought up tight,
Against an old dead ycw
At which he "rounded to-
And "squaring off" as if to fight,
Said with an oath sha'n't indite,
"--Infernal scoundrel youI
Nght-an' I'll lick you black or whitcr
Just then above him flew
AN OWL which on branch did light,
a few feet DER the boozy wight,
And then commencel-"To who
To who--to who-to who !"
ouoth Muggins-"Dont you think to fright
A fellow of my weight and hight,
With your-ter who-ter who,
Yon cursed bugaboo!
And IT you're Belzebub, its quite,
Unnecessary you should light
For Muggins aint your due
For money matters are all right!
The printers paid up-honor bright ~
Thereat the owl withdrew,
And Muggins mizzled too.
But there are other chaps who might
be caught out late some dismal night,
Who haven't paid what's due.
They know to who--.to who,

tell you, mot much," but when you touch
upon Hardware, he will tell you that the

in Charleston, is sufficient to pay his ex-

once. We may speak moro fully on this
subject at another time.

"Certainly they should. 1t is the duty of
every one, and it is the desire of all healthy
minded persons to array themselves in be-

law respecting the ornamental, is this -
Whatever is merely ornamental, is barbarous.
Every pillar must support something; every
pin, pin something; every ring mean some
thing; every pendant have use, or be an
emblem or reminder. Beautiful is the wed

maiden's finger, when it is worn in rcmem-
brance of the absent lover. Pleasing to see,
also, whether upon shirt or chemisette, are
the golden studs which serve for buttons
and the diamond pin, -hen it seems to per.

Happy, too, are some Of those contriyances
which at once bind the hair and adorn the
head and blessed be those necklaces from
which something hangs which keeps the
heart warm.
Another law is, that the ornamental must
be real Mere inexperience or ignorance,
or custom, may induce person to indulge
in an excess of ornament; but to wear sham
or borrowed jcwelry, indicates weakness
of character, which is simply pitiful."
