A LADY IN 4 GRoG-SHOP.--We take

A LADY IN a GRoG-sHop.--We take
the following from one of our exchanges:
"Considerablc excitement was created,
yesterday, at one of the fashionable drink,
ing saloons of this city, by lady, who ac.
cording to her own statement, "will sober.
zc the men" The lady aforesaid, who be.
longs to upper-tendom, went into bar room
and called for a "brandy smash" with as
much noncha7ancc as regular male topper,
drank the preparation, deposited dime, and
left The bar keeper being handsome man,
has struck for higher wages.
Was the lady disgraced by the act 2
Would she fall under censure for calling fol
a "brandy smash" and paying a "dime" fol
it? If so, what makes it respectable in a
young man, say her brother, for doing pre-
cisely the same thing? The laws and usa.
gcs of society, it is true, will not tolerate
such a fragrant act in lady, but so far as
the mere buying and drinking a brandy
smash at the counter of a grogshop is con-
cerned, the guilt and sin is precisely the
same. The young man who is guilty of the
act should lose his claim to the countenance
and respect of society just as fully as the
young lady. The one should not be held
blameless for sin that would condemn the
other to lasting infamy.-Spirit Of the Age.

THE PROOF OF THE PUDDING.

"Thcse Liquors have no STychnins in them,
The only way to prove this is to try them
The above l'oclicnl couplet occurs in the
advertisement of a liquor seller residing not
an hundred miles from this place. We have
seldom met with anything SO rare either in
Poetry of whiskey. 1t is virtually saying to
the consumer: certain liquors have the dead
ly poison, strychninc, in them-mine has
not, and if you are disposed to doubt my as
scrtion, why, just 'try them," and if they
don't kill you outright you will have the as
surance that l spoke the truth; but if they
should happen to injurc you seriously, or
kill you, forsooth, then you may very rea-
sonably conclude that | advertised falsely.
This is certainly the last way to raise the
wind and to secure custom. We have some
times heard about "the proof Of the pudding"
being the act of masticating the reticulte in
which it was boiled, and this "trying" Of
poisoned liquors to see whether they really
arc poisoned or not, must be an improved
version of the old adage Walk up tipplers
and try a few glasses just to see whether it
will kill you or not-satisfy yourselves upon
this point-"thc only way to prove this is
to try them" "-,SpirH Of the Age.

A PLEASANT AFFAIR.-One da

A PLEASANT AFFA1R.-One day last
week, says the Eastern Argus, merchant
in Gardiner, Me-, offered to give barrel of
flour to Rev. Charles Blake, Baptist minis
ter in that city provided the young ladies
would haul it to him. To this they consent
ed, and having obtained small pair of
trucks, the barrel of -four was placed thereon,
and about forty young ladies took hold of
the ropes and drew the barrel about half a
mile, up one of the steepest hills in Gardi-
ner, to the minister's house. The Gardiner
Band seeing what was going on, headed the
procession, and played some excellent music.
There was large crowd to witness the pro-
ceeding, and cabinet maker, brought out a
very handsome rocking chair, which he fas-
tened to the barrel, and let it 60 as an addi-
tional present to the minister.

A SELL.-The Fall River Monitor tells
the following good story: GA countryman
(farmer) went into store in Boston the
other day, and told the keeper ncighbor of
his had entrusted him with some money to
expend to the best advantage and he meant
to do it where he would be best treated. He
had been used very we'll in Boston by the
traders. and he would not part with the
neighbor's money until he found man who
would treat him about right. With some
suavity, the trader says, Il think I can treat
you to your liking, how do you want to
be treated?' 'Well,' says the farmer, with a
leer in his eye, I'm the first place, want a
glass of toddy,' which was forthcoming
sNow 1 will have nice cigar saysthe couu-
.ryman. 1t was promptly handed him, leis-
urely lighted, and then throwing himself
back, with his feet as high as his head, he
commenced putting away, like Dutchman.
'Now what do you want to purchase? says
the store-keeper. My neighbor handed me
tpo cents, when left home, to buy him a
plug of tobacco have you got the article ?
The store.keeper sloped instanter, and the
next thing that we hear of him was, that his
sides were shaking and his face on fire with
laughter as he was relating the seN to his
friends down town.

RAMSAY'S
HISTORY OF SOUTH CAROLINA

yETILL he rcpubishcd early in 1853, in two
w large Volumes octave, $50 pages each Vol
ume, printed on fine, white paper, bound in sub
stantial cloth gilt. 1t seems hardly necessary to
add anything to the above. Ramsays History of
South Carolina is great work; he has an eye
witness. and participated in many Of the events
about which he writes. We South Carolinians
are too ignorant of our own history, and the Pub
Usher has undertaken the work with a view to
supply demand which has been felt for some
