One Of the Museum s old andsaluablc cor
respondents. Mr. Lord. who Is now residing
in Illinois, was short time since travelling
from Jacksonville to Peoria. in that State,
and as he was passing small hut BY the road
side, he noticed a shaggy beaded boy, of about
eight years of age, with large eyes and no hat
dressed In q WORKOUT pair Of bis fathers
srowsers. trying to balance himself en- the
spEntered top of hickory stump.
More for the purpose Of breaking the mo
uotony of riding all day without speaking.

horse up to the fauce and exclaimed
my little boy can you tell me how far ii
is to Sapgammon Bottoms :"
"'Bout six miles, reckon"
do you lire in this house" inquired Mr..
Lord.
II reckon" was the reply.
"Do you enjoy yourself gu. here 10 the
woods ?"
"a heap"
"What ails your pants ?" says Lord.
"Tore EN-" was the laconc answer.
Finding he had hold off genius that could
mt be pumped, Mr.. Lord turned his horse
head to depart, but in his turn wac now hailed
by the boy, who, in comlcal, half reluctant
tone, exclaimed
"What mout be your name?"
Lord was the reply
The boy here grinned all over, even to The
wrinkles in bis fathers trousers, and seemed
hardly able to suppress broad smoker.

you never heard the name before"
Eyes, ! have !" replied the youngstef
"I'pe heard Pap read about you in The b.

Lord put spurs to bis horse, and says that
even the sacred thoughts to which the Incl
dent gave rise, were not sufficient to keep him
from snickering throughout the rest Of bis jour

How doth the tones In woman's heart
Vibrate to each remembered word,
Should memory with its mystic art,
Strike but the hidden chord
How liuger they Ger every line
loved and absent friend has traced,
And find, within their bosom's shrine,
The image INCREASED.
Oh like string of silver bells,
Rung by the ever playful wind,
Does love recprocated spells
Make music in the mind.
How oft tits woman's lot to nurse
A willy serpent in her breast,
Turning life's blessings to a curse,
An adder to its rest.
Yet doth its clankless letters clasp
That glittering thing of love and trust,
Till broken by the lightning grasp,
1t mingies with the dust.

Exchange Hotel.

This Hotel was openeda few days ago,
under tho supervision Of MEssRs. BALLARD
g. HUNTER, citizens Of our District. The
propnetors Of the Exchange promise to
spare no trouble and expense to render their
Hotel worthy of patronage, and we recon-
mend them to the travelling public. 1t would
perhaps be doing our friend J. A. HAssEL-
TINE ESQ.,, Of the Catawba House, injustice,
to pass him by without remark Let it
suffice however, for us merely to say, that
the competitor is not always the victor
The Catawba still flourishes with our port,y
mine host" as proprietor, who bids fair for n
long time yet to give hearty welcome to
the weary traveller.
With such Hotels as the Catawba and
Exchange, we venture to assert that better
accommodations can be found in no other
village than in Lancaster.

Our Academy.

We neglected in n former number to
mention that the Trustees Of our Academy
had elected n Teacher. There were several
applicants, but Mr.. J. w. CARLISLE of Col.
umbia, was with great unanimity elected to
preside over the institution for the ensuing
year. Mr.. CARLISLE has already earned a
reputation as nm able and efficient Teacher,
that our community have cause to rejoice
at their good fortune in securing his seryi-
ccs.
1t is the duty of every parent to sent his
child or children to shool, and now, when
one possessed OF every requisite as Teach
or, is chosen to take charge of the Academy
in our own village, there is, and can be no
excuse that franklin Academy should not
DC well patronized.
In connection with this subject, we take
pleasure in saying that the Trustees with
commendablc zeal, have had the Academy
Building placed in complete repair thus
contributing much to the comfort Of Teach
er and pupils.
