No Joke
ed

We copy the following ADVERTISE
ment from the North Alabama Regis
ter, not that we are requested to do it,
but that it is a rare production, and
the unfortunate exile has our best
wishes for her safety and security from
such a matrimonial relation.
The undersigned hereby notifies all
persons and the "rest humankind" not
to make any trade or contract with
my wife Elizabeth Stone on my &C.
count, for will not pay any debt or
debts she may make, or has made,
since she decampt, as | am informed
with another man, having left my
house, bed and board without just
cause and without my knowledge or
consent, | hereby forbid any person
or persons from harboring her about
their house, and will put the law in
force against such, in double quick
time, or about as soon as a man could
pull his hand out of ncgro's ,oool, or a
flame Of loathsome fire. Slone on Sat.
urday night went to see his wife as
another negro would, and found she
had sloped with or without white
man good.
Come all you young people take warn
ing by me,
The ripest love is soon cold,
The ripest apple is soonest rotten,
The sycamore balls will soon fall,
And the leaves soon wither;
Place your affections on a smiling swee
heart.
Or else none at at all.

Examination at Mary Sharp
College.

We attended two days during the
examination of the pupils of this COL
lege, which took place this week, SO
we cannot speak from our observation
except for the last two days. We un-
derstand, however, that the young Ia
dies did themselves great credit during
the time we were absent. So far as
our observation extends, according to
our Judgment, the classes exceeded
the usual proficiency heretofore, which
is sayinga good deal in theirfavor. Els
pecially we must be permitted to say
the class in Cicero acquitted them
selves very creditably. Mrs. Graves
has had charge Of the class in the Ian
guages, and the improvement and ad-
vancement Of the pupils in this de-
partment reflect great credit upon her
as teacher and scholar. Our only
regret is that her feeble health will
prevent her from taking charge of her
classes any longer. They are in a
fine way of advancement now, and it
is to be feared her place will be hard
to fill. While we are specific in mott.
cling the merits Of the classes in the
classics, it is not to be understood that
others demand no praise. Everything
went off we'll, and all who are acquain-
ted with the sitting method Of exam
lining classes at this school, know that
there can be no deception played upon
the audience. We are certain that a
"severe sitting the whole idea' was
pursued in all cases to the satisfaction
of able and impartial examiners. -
There was manifested every evidence
of labor on the part ofthe teacher, and
assiduity with the scholars.
The graduating class, consisting of
three accomplished young ladies, re-
ceived the honors of the institution at
the hands of President Graves, with
an appropriate address by him, and af-
forwards a touching valedictory ad,
dress was delived by Miss Vaughan,
Of Chattanooga, one of this class. The
exercises of the occasion were closed
by an able and pointed address by Rev.
J. M. Pendleton, of KY, on the subject
Of female education. This examina.
ton must surely win laurels for the
institution, as it richly merits.

The Fiddle.

No man who is not fiddler can be
fully aware Of the virtues that reside
in fiddle. TO the majority of man
kind, the thing is but q vibratory ma
chine of thin wood, furnished with
frightened strings for production ofmu-
steal sounds; and the nen-liddling por-
ton ofthe community are apt to enter
taiu derogatory notion both of tid-
dies and fddlers, as though there was
something unaccordant with the dig
nifty of human nature in the produc-
ton of melody by shaking the elbow
and twiddling the fingers. Not that
they by any means object to the result
produced, or refuse to listen to the har-
monious combination Of sounds which
horsehair and rosin elicit, or refrain at
all times from responding to the invi-
tation Of the music by tripping though
the mazes of the delightful dance; but
they could not be seen to operate them
selves; they could not submit them
selves to be the fiddlcrs. A small Sec
ton Of society-a dismal, dolorous
and drab-hearted community-go still
further. With them, the terms etc
play the fiddle" and "to play the fool
are synonymous: the notes of fiddle.
string sound irreligiously in their ears
and they look upon fiddler as persons
in highly equivocal, not to say dan
gerous, position.
