O!W HAT a RUSH!

r Asst CoURT-DAY, (Monday, March 24,)
IL was great day in town. There was an
unu sually large crowd ofpeople on hand drawn
together by, business, politics, desire to see
each other, to GET bargains, &c. Asusual there
was rush TO Rogers s Fogie'S Cheap Cash Store
but what disappointment, on goingto the Three
Big Doors, to fnd them shut and barred. sWhat!
have they quit y says one 'Haye they shut us
out1' says another ;-just then they saw u card
on the door which read as follows
ROGERS & F0GLE HAVE REM OWED
To Lazior's Old Stand, Courthouse Square.
This fixed tho matter at once, and the almost
disappointed crowd turned away from the Big
Doors to go to Lazier's Old Stand, and here sur
enough, they found Messrs. Rogers & Fogle aud
their Clerks all az busy as bees, piiing up and
selling OFF largo and choice stock of
SPRING 81 SUMMER GOODS,
Just as cheap as ever, and though some people
talk about Goods getting higher. &C., it was not
60 at Rogers s. Fogles', things were going off
cheap, by the yard, gross, dozen or single. -
There they were, Rogers, Fogle, and Clerks,
making the ynrdsticks NY, talking away and say
ing,--'l How d'you do y 'Ohly l214 cts yard y
'sCheap as drip sIlave dress OF OF this piece,
madamP' Yes, Mr.. -, wc'll wait on you in
moment!'-all at one breath. Twas really u
busy day, and the new stock of Goods just re-
ceived has dwindled down so that more will
have to be procured right off.
But don't be scared, New Goods are coming
on, fresh lots every few days, and let the people
como If they run the stock out why just let en-,
there's more Goods down ca st. Call It Lazier's
old stand, and see for yourselves. Come on,
while things are fresh. .

charged his whole duty, it will pain him TO
discover that his untiring efforts have failed to

be accompanied by pain and modification. -

The following comes greeting from an old
friend and correspondent. who has made our
luae-ine readers laugh ready to split their
sides something like thousand times -
la is la ont west. Some years ago an
attachment was issued and levied upon the stock
in trade of stage company, and the conse-
quencc was very disastrous, nf course; passen-
gers were piled up here and there, just where
the writ found them mails were stopped and
the deuce was to pay everywhere.

through the several counties of the state where
the 'pIunder' was held by authority Of the peo-
pie Of the stale of ----, and moved (as
Jones might move, as the law then stood) be-
fore side.judge, for dissolution Of the writ
Jones went forward swimmingly for while,
and knocked over the wriis, one afier another
like row Of bricks. He finally reached the
county Of -, where be found the attorneys
on the other side, and The Judge, all evidently
expecting him for they were popring tho
whiskey dawn the Judge at a log-iavern, telling
him iunny stories, and talRlng extravaganiIy
about his legal ability and The high reputation
which he had acquired on the bench
The judge at last took his seat, put on his
specs, opened the Revised Statutes, and
spread them out solemnly before him, and the
hearing went forward But The Judge grew
drunker aud drunker; his eyes waxed heavy,
and now aud then he gave a half-surge side
ways in his seat. Jones raised several ohjec-
tions to the proceedings, and insisted upon
points of irregularity bot the judge replied
that he di-didn't k-know but Mr. Jo-ones was
right, but he couldn't tra-iravel outside er The
Siaierts. At which the opposite counsel nod
ded their heads aud winked at each other.
AT last Jones saw that it was all Of no use.
Some six or seven times the judge had told
him he couldn't travel outside Of the Siateris.'

other way. He I'D rise upon him =

NAME IN THE SAND.

DY o. d. PRENTICE.
Alone walk on the ocean strand,
A pearly shell was in my hand,
stopped and wrote upon the sand
My name, the year and day;
As onward from the spot passed,
One lingering Look behind cast,
A wave came rolling high and Fast,
And washed my lines away.
And so methought Z will quickly be
With every mark on earth for me.
A wave Of dark oblivion's sea;
win sweep across the place
Where have trod the sandy shore
or time, and been to me no more;
OF nc, my day, the name bore,
To leave no track or trace.
And yet with Him who counts the sand,
And holds the water in his hands,
know a lasting record stands
Inscribed against my name,
OF all this mortal part has wrought,
OF all this thinking soul has thought,
And from these aeeting moments caught,
For glory or for shame.
