Enormous BUSINESS FOR ONE New ToRE
MERcHANT.-We are happy to inform our fell
low-Citizens that there is one place in our city
where the physician, apothccary, and country
merchant, can 80 and purchase pure Wines
and Liquors, as pure as i'm, orted, and of the
best quality. We do not intend to give an
elaborate description of this merchants ey-
tcnsivc business, although it viii repay any
stranger or citizen to visit Udolpho Wolfe's
extensive warehouse, Nos. Is, 20 and %,
Beaver street, aud Nos. II. 70 and q, Mark
etfcld street. His stock Of Schnapps on hand
ready for shipment could not have been less
than thirty thousand cases the Brandy, some
ten thousand cases-Eintages of 1886 to 1855 !;
and ten thousand cases OF Madeira, Sherry
and Port Wine, Scotch and Irish Whisky,
jamaica and st. Croiz Rum, some very old
and equal to any in this country. He also
had three large cellars, filled with Brandy,
Wine, &c, in casks, under CuStom-House key,
ready for bottling. Mr.. Wolfe's sales of
Schnapps last year amounted to one hundred
and eighty thousand dozen, and we hope in
less than two years he may be equally sue
cessful with his Brandies and Wines.
His business merits the patronage of every
lover of his species. Private families who
wish pure Wines and Liquors for medical u Sc
should send their orders dire ct to Mr.. Wolfe,
until every Apothecary in the land make up
their minds to discard the poisonous stuff from
their shelves, and replace it with Wolfe's pure
Wines and Liquors.
We understand Mr.. Wolfe, for the accom-
mediation of small dealers in the country. puts

Such a man. and such a merchant, should be

"The Old Pear Trae.n

IT'S a curious old Pear Tree, with its moss
grown limbs turned crookedly up TO the blue
sky. Years and years ago, when the Indian
still roved through thsgs woods, and my
grandfather was yet young, there came an
old Indian warrior to him, and said, holding
n small sprig in his hand, "White from yon
spot my forefathers' wigwam opened to the
East, and there | first learned to draw the
bow, moons ago, and there | should like to
die. But the decree has been spoken, and
we must leave our homo for the land Of the
setting sun: but before | go, | would plant
this little tree to mark the place Of mybirth,"
and taking q hunting knife from his belt he
placed the tree in the ground. Stranger"
said he, ''let this come to q great tree, that
while | live, the spot may be sacred from
the hands of the pale faces" and casting q
mourntul glance around him, he was gone.
And there the tree stands, nearly a centu-
ry old and each year the ripe fruit drops to
the ground, the moss grows heavier, and the
branches thicker.
With what awe we listened to its story,
and wondered Of the old Indians fate how
we seemed again to soc the forest trees, and

that Indian spirits were dancing round thC

Well-deserved Tribute.

We copy on our first page, a communfca-
ton from the "Christian Sun" with reference
TO the publication Of a volume embracing the
Biography and writings of INVALID" a val
ued Contributor to our columns, and also to
many other papers and periodicals in the
South. His writings are well known and ap-
preciated by tens of thousands of readers
who have dwell with admiration upon his
chaste and eloquent compositions, whose
hearts have warmed with pious emotions as
they pe:used his sacred tie achings, while the
eye moistened with sympathy and affection
ate regard for the afflicted sufferer, who has
been confnedto his couch for long and weary
years. Those acquainted with his writings
and the peculiar circumstances under which
they are indited, would hail such a work as the
one contemplated, with very great pleasure.
and would purchase it for its intrinsic value
to say nothing of the happiness it would
afford them to contribute to the education of
the faithful little Amanuensis-his young
sister-who has for so long been in his con-
slant attendant in the sick chamber, and who
has committed to writing the inspiring
thoughts of the gifted Author. We hope the
volume will be prepared for the press as
soon as possible.

A Sign and a Warning.

We publish on our first page to-day, a
Communication from a venerable gentleman
of Mechenburg county,t the tone and sub
stance Of which are wq}khy Of c@nsideraYeu.
The writer is i christiaS phiIanaaropist IND
patriot-one whose sands of life are we'll
nigh run a man who~speaks of the evils
and dangers that surround and threaten our
country, free from the motives Of mere poll
ticians and alarmists. If then, such an one
looks with such excited distrust and fear at
the signs Of the times with regard to nation
al affairs, it may be taken as a pretty fair in
South-the old, sober-sided fathers, as we'll
as the ardent, hotblooded youth..are prepar-
ed to meet and espouse any course Of action
which the safety, the seh.respcct, the honor
Of the South may require should be taken
We regard such evidences as this, as giving
the strongest assurance that the sentiment
has taken strong hold upon the hearts and
resolves of our people" Equality IN the
Union, or Independence out Of it." We
pray that wise and prudent ~counsels may en-
sure the former, and avert the necessity for
a recourse to the latter. But our people are
becoming tired of the humiliation ever threat
ened the South, and are ready to cry-If the
crisis has to come, let 1t come at once.
Our respected and venerable Correspon-
dent also gives a timely warning against the
indulgence in exciting drinks, at this peculiar
juncture Of affairs. He says truly, it is
time when cool heads, sober judgments, anC
brave hearts are needed, and that strong
drinks, so we'll calculated to inhame the pas
sions and exasperate tn. feelings of men
should be ~scrupulously avoided. It is by tn
avoidance of these, that men are prepared t
act discreetly and wisely while on the cor
trary their indulgence prepares for v:olenc
and rashness that lead to lamentable and di
astrous consequences.
We sincerely trust that tbs fearsef-ov
