4 PLUCKY WOMAN.-We know of a Northern
born and Northern raised lady, who married a
Southern planter and who, with her husband
makes her abode at point just back Of a certain
ETY. on the Mississippi river not n hundred thou
s4nd miles above New Orleans. This lady has
never let an occasion slip which she could abuse
and villify the Southern Confcderacy. A short
time since she was on board steamer, going up
from New Orleans, and was, as usual wagging her
tongue at 2:40 rate against our section. Among
her auditory lady Of the true Southern grit,
who listened to the harangue, while her cheeks
grew pale and red by turns, and her teeth made
deep indentations in her coral lips AT last, when
she could stand it no longer, the Southern matron
rose from her seat and walked over to where the
female speaker letting off her abolition gas,
and, shaking her finger III that lady's face, slowly
and distinctly said:
Madame, have husband two sons and three
brothers in the army Of the Southern Confederacy.
They are fighting for their country, and if they
are killed, they will die like gallant men, and
however great the loss may be to me, l shall have
the consolation of knowing they fell in good
cause. \ OH are woman, and you talk you do
because you know that no Southern gentleman will
force you to stop. | am Southern woman, and
now tell you that you shall not abuse my people in
my presence. If you say another word against the
Southern Coufederacy, 1 shall whip you in the
presence of the passengers
The Southern blood was up, and there would
have been awful wreck of de laini and crnoline
ii that Yankee woman hadn't been Immediately
struck dumb. To make safety doubly sure, she
aso retired to her sate-room and locked the door,
with the key inside.
That's the style of woman for Louisiana to
ewcar by--N o. Delta.

SUBSTITUTE FOR COFFEE.
From the Fayetteville Observer.


Messrs Hale: In one of your late papers, you
have an extract from South Carolina paper con-
corning substitute for tea and coffee, mentioning
particularly, Cacina, or Indian tea. During the
revolutionary war, various articles were used for
tea. Coffee was then scarcely known. In the
change of time coffee has become, especially at the
South, an essential article of household beverage
AS a substitute, great variety of articles have
been used. | have rye, wheat, and peas
roasted and used. Carrots also, have seen sliced
dried and used for the same purpose. But Of all
the articles used as substitute, there is nothing
good, whether in place of tea or coffee, as
plant which is abundant in eastern Carolina viz :
yopon. speak from personal knowledge | have
used it for several years, and have no hesitation in
saying that for me, at least it is much better than
the Chinese tea, or coffee For three years have
scarcely tasted any other table beverage. Seamen
employed in some of our seaports use it much and
1t is an observation made among them that they
can do more work, and endure more fatigue in
using yopon than coffee The taste may at first
not be quite SO palatable, but little makes it
quite agreeable. A little more care in preparing
the article would undoubtedly improve the taste.
In the Province Of Paraguay, and in neighboring
territories, yopon forms important article Of
commerce. 1t is gathered in large quantities, and
is an established article of traffic among the
traders. In this day of retrenchment, | know of
no article which so justly merits the attention of
every North CaroDan a substitute for these
table beverages that have become difficult TO be
obtained. &.
This yopon can be obtained of any Commission
Merchant in Newbern at 81 per bushel 1t is
made like the Chinese tea, or if wanted strong
may be boiled instead Of stepped

"A Word to the "Hard-up.n

For goodness sake, do not look so
melancholy! There are better times in
store for you, see ifthere are not. Why,
man, one would suppose you were con
demned to the pillory, torture, or some
thing like the ".pit and the pendulum. !"
Come, now, be cheerful; if you cannot
pay your debts immediately, dc the best
you can and pay them as you are able.
Scare killed a cat" If you have not
fifty cents to luxuriate upon the deliea-
cles OF the season, appropriate half of the
amount for something more substantial
and wholesome. Kiss your wife, if you
have one; if you have not, kiss somebody
eles', or get married immediately-for
acts Of desperation frequently result
happily aad beuefcially in their effects.
If you have any children, romp With
them; if you have not, romp with your
neighbors. Look upon the bright side
ofeverything-put ona cheerful counte-
nance-keep your ind in the right trim,
and if you fud that your native town
will not support you, why pack up and
sclunteer for the war. Atall events, be
cheerful.-M.
