A Sensible Man i'm south Caroline.

A sensible Man In south Carolina.
Mr.. Perry, distinguished member of
the South Carolina Legislature, in let
ter of resignation of his post, says; !.
"It may be that the Legislature will
take recess, to meet again in May,
There are two reasons which strongly
urge this course to the members. The
business of the country will be left un-a
finished when we adjourn. There ars
five or six hundred matters important to.
the country undisposed of, and our Fed
eral relations may imperiously require
the reassembling ofthe Legislature in the
spring. In all cdndor and frankness, I
mast say, hoaeever, that I do not 6eliere
anything serious mill gro,c out of oar pres
ent eec,teme',t--seither disunion, civil uGr,
nor danger to slavery. y
"My opinion ever has been that the
sole object of the North, in their crusade
against slavery, is to unite the non-slaye-
holding States, and take the Federal Gov-
ernmaent out Of the hands of the South, and
enjoy its po,cers, spoi7s, aud Offices. Be
yond this, they hare no other purpose.
Ever since the election of Mr. j Jefferson,
the Southern States have had the admin,
istration of the Government. If the
non slaveholding States can be united in
their elections, transfer of the Federal
Government must follow, with all its
power and patronage. And do not be-
lieve that if a Black Republican were
elected President of the United States,
with majority in both houses of Con-
gress, that the Federal Government a1o9ld
be administered, II, any material manner,
otheraoise than it has been for the last sirty
gears! The policy of such an Admins
tration would be, in all human probabil-
ity, that of extreme caution toward the
South.

bach an invitation to his wedding. 1t
reads as follows:

I should be happy to have you present

My prospect of married blessedness may
not be so bright, but my experience of
single cmsedness has insured me against
the regret. In short, I long for the
chain, and expect to hug it-with en-
closures-with everlasting satisfaction.

the other room. [ told my man to sit
still few moments and would be back
again. But in going out, was careful
to leave the door ajar, that all we said
in the outer Office might be overheard
The poor lady was there, prompt
enough. 1 asked her to be seated, she
little thinking that the cause of all her
trouble was just in the other room. She
waited patiently for me to introduce the
subject for which I had requested her
attendance.
''I can obtain your bill for you, I
think" said I, in a loud tone; ''but if
[ should tell you that your little savings
would be untouched acithout this pro-
ceeding, would you still insist on carry
ing it through"
"No, never, sir; never in the world!"
she answered, clasping her hands. II
never would cast Henry away! l love
him yet! I always shall love him! He
may wrong me more than he has, but it
will make no difference with my heart.
[ do this only for the sake Of my dear
little girl. She must be cared for, let
whomay be the sufferer 0, dear Henry;
why aoould'nt you be to me what you
once wasp
The last exclamation was uttered in
such touching tone, and came so fresh
from her wounded heart, that man
must have been less than man who
could have heard it unmoved. In an
instant almost, the repentant husband,
moved by her words of anguish and sup
plication, came rushing out from the
inner room and threw his arms around
his wife. He called on his wife to for
give him-to ,torgive him! His heart
was smitten. To find her thus true to
him through the whole of his treachery,
Ind to hear from her own lips that she
still loved him in spite ofhis negligence,
,ut even him to the quick of his nature.
He could bear it no longer.
Tsey embraced, and wept, and en-
oraced each other again. He confessed
lis guilt. He declared that she should
hus suffer no longer. She forgave him
II, and withdrew her petition for di-
'orce altogether. [ saw them leave my
'fice with joy in company. They went
lome. Since that time he has been an
ltered man, and model husband. And
sometimes love to think [ may have
lad hand in it all.

A Wife's Prayer.

If there is anything that comes nearer
to the mploration of Naomi than the
subjoined, then we have not seen it.
Lord, bless and preserve that dear per-
son whom thou hast chosen to be my
husband; let his life be long and blessed,
comfortable and holy; and let me also
become great blessing and comfort unto
him, sharer in all his sorrows; meet
hcl per in all the accidents and changes
in the world; make me amiable forever
in his eyes, and forever dear to him
Unite his heart to me in the dearest love
and holiness, and mine to him in all
sweetness, charity and compliance. Keep
me from ungentleness, all discontented-
ness and unreasonableness of passion and
humor; and make me humble and obe-
dient, useful and observant, that we may
delight in each other according to Thy
blessed Word, and both of us may re-
joice in Thee, having our portion in the
love and service of God forever Amen.

Female Watchmakers.

A movement has been started in Eng
land to encourage young women to learn
the trade of Matchmaking with view to
qualify them to clean and repair watches
"a branch of business in which there is
constant employment in large towns and
cities. The widow of a matchmaker in
Boston, some time ago, maintained her
self for years in working for the trade.
She was very successful in repairing
watches, having been instructed by her
husband when his own powers began to
fail. The American Watch Company at

[From the Baltimore Patriotl
Gov. Hicks and tho Legislaturo Of Marys


Gov. Hicks and tho Legislaturs Of Marys
land.
We cannot bat congratulate "Old
Caesar" On his reply to the discourteoua
action of the House of Delegates, in re-.
gard to the rumor that Gov. Hicks had
sent his congratulations to Mr.. Speaker
Pennington, through the Secretary Of
State. It will be remembered that tho
House, some days ago, passed resolu-
ton appointing committee to waitupon
his Excellency, and to learn from him
whether or not the rumor was true-and
this Notwithstanding several members
declared from their own knowledge that
no such message was sent.
The following is the Governors re-
ply. He shows nerve as well as wisdom
in his response, and if all the American
members would take pattern after Gov.
Hicks, Marcus Dennison and Robert
Turner, they would retain and deserve
the confidence their constituents placed
in them on election day:
STATE OF MARYLAND, y
EXECUTIVE CHAMBER,
Annapolis, Feb. 16, 1860.
10 the House Of Delegates:
GENTLEMEN-I have been informed
by a committee of your House that you
have adopted an order, reciting 'sThat
whereas it appears from the public press
of the country that the Governor of
Maryland has placed this State in false
position, by presenting his eongratula-
tions to Mr.. Pennington, of New Jer-
sey, a Black Republican, upon his elec4
ton to the distinguished position of
Speaker of the House of Representa-
tives;' and directing a committee, ap-
pointed by the Speaker, to inquire of the
Governor whether his congratulations.
were presented at all, aud if so, whether
privately or officially.
l cannot admit the right of the House
of Delegates to make any such inquiry
of me; and the respect which, in my
opinion, ought to be observed by each
of the Government toward,
every other, precludes me from return
ing any answer to such a message, other
than the acknowledgement of its receipt.
THOS. HI. HICKS.

Singular Mortality.

1t is remarkable fact that nearly all
of the candidates for the Vice Presi-
dency in the Democratic National Con-
vention at Cincinnati, in June, 1856,
have since paid the debt of Nature. Linn
Boyd, of kentucky, J. c. Dobbin, of
North Carolina, Gen. Quitman, of Mis-
sissippi, Gen. Rusk, of Texas, Aaron V.
Brown, of Tennessee, were presented as
candidates by their respective States and
obtained large support. They are now
all dead! Gen. Quitman got the highest
number of votes of any candidate on the
first ballot, more even than Breckin-
ridge who finally received the nomina-
tion. He was nominated by the elo-
quent and gifted Harris of Illinois, who
is also deceased. What changes time
makes in four years!

A Long LINZ
By the completion of the Mississippi
Central R. r. we have a continuous rail-
way from Bangor, Me-, to New Orleans,
except four short ferries at Hudson river,
the Susquehanna, the Potomac and James

composed of eighteen independentroads,
costing in the aggregate for 1886 miles
of road $92, 2,794, ,054, or nearly one-tenth
of the whole railway system of the
United States, of which l 1896 miles are
used in this continuous line.

Condensed Cider.

The solidfying of sweet cider has been
accomplished in Connecticut. By the
vacuum process, the cider, taken sweet
from the press, is reduced five gallons
to one, without boiling, and beautiful
jelly is the result, which will keep for
any length of time without mould,
souring, or fermentation of any kind
By the addition of water it is immedi-
ately restored to it's former condition and
becomes cider again. All that is lost by
the process are the impurities that may
exist in the primary apple juice, and the
green sickish taste. The restored cider
is much like drink of prepared tama-
rinds, but is more delicate and palatable.
