NATIONAL ADJURATIoNs.-A French
writer, in curious paper on the different
forms of national oaths and popular objur-
cations. says that most nations swear by a
single name-the fashion remaining un-
changed from the earliest times to the pre-
sent, or as he quantity expresses it, "lentils
are cooked in our day, exactly as when Esau
sold his birth for ten sous plate Of soup"
The supreme object of national alteration,
is usually invoked, coupled generally with
some prominent attribute or popularity,
thus:-
The Chaldean swore "by the god Nebo,
whose right thigh is of gold!'
The Egptain, "by the god Osiris, who has
ears on his heels"
The Hebrew, "by Jehovah, whose feet
rest on the stars p
The Sanscrit, "by Astarte, who made man
from her fair hair"
The Greek, the Etruscan, and the Latin,
"by Zeus, whose eyebrows make the world
tremble :"
The Celt, "by Teutates, who planted the
first forestw
The Teuton and Sclave, "by Odin, and
his fifteen crowsp
The Peruvian, "by the Sun, the soul of
the universe
The Australian, "by the thigh Of the
Bear that fell from heaven!"
The Indian, "by the Great Serpent,
spirit of spirits"

The CREDIT SYsTEM.-From various
sources we see evidences of determination
to extirpate this thorn in the commercial
flesh" We hail each effort in this direc-
tion as an omen of future prosperity and
good. The Pee Dee (Cheraw) Herald, con-
tains notice of agreement, signed by twelve
of the merchants of that place, not to sell
on time, after the first of January, 1858, any
of the following articles {: Sugar, Coffee,
Rice, Molasses, Salt, Bacon, Flour, Pork,
Corn, Meal, Butter or Lard. The Herald
remarks that to the thinking portion OF the
community it will appear very evident that
if the Merchant, who buys on credit, can
not stand the credit tsystem, how can thepoor
unfortunate Editor, who is compelled to pay
cash for everything, stand it. Therefore,
dear beloved friends, give us our Christmas
gift, in the shape of your subscription. We
have done our all, in trying to give you the
markets, the latest news, &c., therefore we
sincerely hope, that you will try and settle
up your Indebtedness Watchman.

PRAISE YOUR WIFE.

Praise your wife, man; for PHYS sake
give her a little encouragement it wont
hurt her. She has made your home COM
Portable, your hearth bright and shining,
your food agreeable PHYS sake tell her
you thank her, if nothing more. She don't
expect it; it will make her eyes open wider
than they have done for these ten years but
it will do her good, and you too.
There are many women thirsting to-day for
the word of praise, the language of encour-
agement Through summers heat and win
ter's toll they have drudged accomplishing
ly; and so accustomed have their fathers,
brothers, and husbands become to their mo.
notonous labors that they look for and upon
them as they do the daily rising of the sun
and its daily going down. Homely, every
day life may be made beautiful by an appre-
citation of its very homeliness. You know
that if the floor is clean, manual labor has
been performed to make it so. You know
that if you can take from your drawer clean
shirt whenever you want it, somebody's fin
gers have ached in the toll of making it so
fresh and agreeable, so smooth and lustrous.
Everything that pleases the eye and the sense
has been produced by constant work, much
thought, great care, and untiring efforts,
bodily and mentally.
1t is not that many men do not appreciate
these things, and feel glow of gratitude for
the numberless attentions bestowed upon
them in sickness and in health, but they are
so selfish in that feeling They don't come
out with a hearty, "How pleasant you make
things look, wife," or, 81 am obliged to you
for taking so much pains" They thank the
tailor for giving them "6ts," they thank the
man in the full omnibus who gives them a
seat, they thank the young lady who moves
along in the concert room in short, they
thank everybody and everything out of doors,
because it is custom, and come home, tip
their chairs back and their heels up, pull out
the newspaper, grumble if their wife asks
them to take the baby; scold if the fire has
gone down or, if everything is just rig int,
shut their mouths with smack of satisfac-
tion but never say to her, ~ thank you"
I tell you what, men, young and old, if
you did but show an ordinary civility toward
those common articles of housekeeping, your
wives; if you gave the one hundred and
sixtieth part Of the compliments you almost
cboked them with before they we're maTied;
if you would stop the badinage about whom
you are going to have when number one is
dead, (such things wives may laugh at, but
they sink deep sometimes y if you would
cease to speak of their faults, however ban
teringly, before others, fewer women would
seek for other sources of happiness than
your cold, so.so.ish affection. Praise your
wife, then, for all the good qualities she has,
and you may rest assured that her defcien-
cies are fully counterbalanced by your own.

Eight of the Indians fell by the volley
now poured in upon them, but strange to say
one of the FIVE that did not fall was The chief
that Death aimed at. This unusual event
was owing to the following cause; the branch
of the bush on which he had stesdied his
aim in firing had suddenly yielded at the
moment he had discharged his piece, render
ing harmless his otherwise unerring aim.
Uttering an imprecation at his ill luck
Death sprang down the bank with the rest
of his companions, and with one bound
reached the side of the Iroquois chief
They grappled and both fell heavily to the
ground, clasped in fearful embrace, and
darted glances of savage hatred at each 9TH
er beneath their knitted and scowling brows.
keep off? shouted Death, as he saw one
or two of his companions in the act of stoop-
ing down to assist him, keep off, and if he
masters me let him CO.
Over and over they rolled, writhing and
straining, but seemingly neither obtaining
any advantage over the other. At last the
head of the Iroquois suddenly came in con-
tact with the point of a rock that protruded
from the bank, stunning him so that he re-
leased his vice grip of Deaths throat; and
the latter, thus released, springing to his feet
finished his career by bringing the heavy
breech of his rife with sledge hammer force
down on his head.
The remaining four Indians had been like
wise dispatched; and the victorious rifemen
(none of whom had received any wound
worth mentioning,) now set up such shout
of triumph for their victory that the echoes
of the wood rung it for minutes after.
AS Col. Innis promised, Death was pro-
NOTED to the vacant post of Lieutenant; and
now dear reader, we beg to inform you that
our hero and the uucompromising veteran
General Morgan, of revolutionary notoriety,
we're one and the same individual About
fortnight after this eventful nigh ,Stanhope's
farm became the scene of as much mirth,
good eating and dancing, as could be posi-
bly, disposed of during twenty-foT hours,
and although we think it will be almost su-
perAuous to do so, will add, that the cause
of all this merry making was the marriage of
the beauteous Hester Stanhope to Lieutenant
Henry Morgan.

NO.. Q.

SPEAKER ORR.-It is useless to disguise
the fact that the election of this gentleman
to the Speakership Of the House Of Repre-
sentatives was not acceptable to the Southern
State Rights portion of the Democracy. He
is not of the number of those who regard
the South first and the Union next; on the
contrary, his thirst for Federal Office renders
him prone to conciliate the Northern aggres-
sionists, as is obvious from his appointments
on the Committees. For instance he places
the notorious Burlingame-the reviler of
the gallant Brooks-upon the Committee Of
Foreign Affairs. The Richmond South,
justly remarks that this affront were bad
enough from any Southern Speaker; but
offered by South Carolinian, it cuts with
ranking effect. This single appointment is
enough to condemn Mr.. Speaker with every
true-hearted Southerner. 1t can not be pal
liated.-Georyia State Press.

SIAM ETIouETTE.-When the Siamese
ambassadors were presented recently to
Queen Victoria, they threw themselves on
their hands and knees, and went the whole
length of the room on all fours, and the
principal ambassador laid his chin on the
step of the throne, and read his address in
that position, and after the formalities they
all backed out in the same awkward Style
The royal gravity was sorely tried by the
ridiculous spectacle. When the distin-
guished foreigners were invited to lunch
in one of the state apartments, they all
pulled out their pipes and filled the hall
with cloud of smoke, to the great horror
of the court and the disgust Of the Queen,
who abominates the weed.

SQUEEZING THE HAND.-It is but lately
that we understood the strange constructions
that are sometimes put upon squeeze of
the hand With some it is entirely equiva-
lent to declaration of love; this is very
surprising indeed. We must take hold of
lady's hand like hot potatoes afraid of
giving squeeze lest we should burn her
fingers. Very fine, truly Now it was our
ancient custom to squeeze every hand that
we had extended to US, especially fair one.
It is no wonder that we have never been
sued for breach of promise. We would
not give rusty nail for one of your cold
formal shakes of the hand. Every person
who intrudes one or two fingers for your
touch Gas if we were afraid of catching a
distemper) should 60 to school awhile to- a
Jolly old farmer He shakes with ven

PEppER.-Pepper is an almost universal

PEprER.-Pepper is an almost universal
condiment. Black pepper irritates and in.
flames the coatings of the stomach red
pepper does not, it excites, but does not ir-
ritate; consequently it should be used in
stead of black pepper. 1t was known to
the Romans, and has been in use in the
East Indies from time immemorial, as it cor
rects that fatulencc which attends the large
use of vegetable food. Persons in health
do not need any pepper in their food. But
to those of weak and languid stomachs, it is
manifold more healthful to use cayenne pep
per at meals than any form Of wine, brandy
or beer that can be named, because it stimu-
lates without the reaction of sleepiness or
debility.-HaWs Journal of Health.

BE FRANK AND DETERM1NED.-Never

BE FRANK AND DETERMINED.-Never
affect to be other than what you are. Learn,
to say, "I do not know" and 81 cannot af-
ford it," with most sonorous distinctness and
emphasis. Men will then believe you when
you say, 81 do know" and 81 can afford
it," Never be ashamed to pass for just
what you truly are, and who you are, and
you are on solid ground. A man is already
of consequence in the world, when it is
known that we can implicitly rely on him
that when he says thing he will do it
Such reputation will give man more real
enjoyment, and is of far greater value to
him, than all the results which display and
pretentions can compass.

FIRST D1scovERrRs.-There is penalty
for doing more or better than your neighbors.
Galileo gained only Imprisonment by his
discoveries. The inventors Of printing did
not fare much better. The first who dis
covered the power Of steam was confined in
the Bicetre, at Paris. DR.. Darwin was con.
sidered almost insane, because, in his inflated
verse, he predicted the uses to which it
would be applied. These were all dlscoV-
cries of men who, rising above their fellows,
toiled at the shadows Of great things their
minds conceived or saw. Statues and bronzes
now celebrate the merit that was denied them
at the time.

a man would crush the very bones of our
fingers, and shake our shoulder out of joint
than that he should poke our paw, as if he
were about to come in contact with bear or
a hyena. The ladies may rest assured of
this; that man who will not squeeze their
hand when he gets hold of it, does not de-
serve to have hand in his possession; and
that he has heart 749 times smaller than a
grain of mustard seed.

BANK DIvIDENDs.--The Charleston
Courier, of Tuesday, says: "The Bank of
Charleston, Peoples Bank, Planters and
Mechanics Bank, Union Bank, South Caro-
lima Bank, and State Bank, have declared
dividends amounting in the aggregate to
ninety-eight thousand eight hundred and
thirty-one dollars. The whole amount of

as included in the above amount, is twenty
thousand four hundred dollars-is forty

MARRIAGE ON THE CARs.-Quite 9

MARRIAGE ON THE CARs.-Quite a
romantic affair occurred on the cars between
Atlanta and Marietta, last Monday morning.
A couple, on matrimony intent, got on the
train at Boltonville, Cobb county, intending
to stop at Marietta, and get the knot tied,
but finding clerical and legal gentleman
from Atlanta on board, the ceremony was
performed while the train was making thirty
miles an hour, and the happy couple went
on their way rejoicing. This was decidedly
fast match, and the only marriage by
steam that has lately come to our notice.

One ray of precious light is gone;
Tho other flowers my garden hath
I'm missing yet the vanished one.
7 miss thee when the cloudless sun
In gorgeous beauty wraps the day
When nature sheds brightness round
That chases gloomy thought away.
I miss thee too when night has thrown
His sable mantle Ger the scene
When other dear ones clustered round
Thou art remembered Immogene.
I miss thee when the gleeful tone
Of childish prattle meets mine ear,
For me note of music's gone
Thy mirthful voice cannot hear.
I miss thee, yet Hopes fairy hand
The veil of time will often raise,
And show thee by my side again
To cheer the evening of my days.

Which meier has felt one sorrow keen
