South CAROLINA AND New YoRK-In Col.
Oaiborne's Lite of Gen. Quitman, he gives an
account of the battle of Ohurubusco. In speak.
ing of the charge made by tile N. Y. Regiment
under Col. Burnett, he says Sergeant Ro-
maine, who carried the national standard, had
his right arm shattered, but supported it with
his left until he received his mortal wound. and
the colors fell. They were seized by Corporal
Lake, who, rushing TO the front, was immediate
ly shot down. Orderly Sergeant Doremus took
possession, and bore it through the storm to the
Mexican breastwork, where he proudly planted
it amid the cheers of the brigade. The flags OF
South Carolina and New York there foated in
glorious fraternity"
We have copied the incident for the sake ol
the closing sentence. Long may the flags Of
South Carolina and New York float side by side
in glorious fraternity. And God forbid that BY
any act of wrong on the part Of either, the two
States should ever be arrayed against each other

Matrimony.

Mrs. George Washington Wylie, a lady writer
whose name is familiar in literary circles, fre
says some good things. The latest of these is
contained in a magazine article-"What is the
Price 2"-from which we make the following
extract, for the benefit OF young gentlemen read
ers who have a weakness for Crinoine:
"You're going to enter into the matrimonial
state, are you, Mr.. Brown? And you think
you're coming into possession of an angel p
Yes, but angels cost money. Did il ever occur
to you what an expensive article your fashiona

market value of wash-tub. You'll find out
one day, however, to your grief. You're doing
remarkably foolish thing when you marry one
of these ca.nea japonica civinities, white hand

should as soon think of marrying frail hot

liking bit OF fun as Well as the next woman,
and possessing a pretty weakness for lively
books and spicy newspapers! That's the arti-
