: AN Awful CALAMITY. We learn that an
awful calamity has befallen some eight citi.
zens and three soldiers of Chester, S. G. 1t
seems that these persons demanded and re.
cei7ed the keys belonging to the Medical Purs
yager's Department, and entered the building
locking for fine liquors. In their search they
, came across q cask Of antiraonial wine, and
each took hearty drink thereby causing
death to two or three in a few hours after
wards. The others of the party are not ex-
pected to live. It is feared that there are
more persons who drank of this wine, not
knowing its deadly poison when taken IN
large doses.

beautiful tea or coffee SGT, which formerly graced
President Davis Mansion. It Was q perfect
miniature of a railroad locomotive; With tender
attached. The locomotive boiler receives. the
coffee or tea, makes and discharges it through q
spiggot, q steam whistle indicating when the tea
or coffee is ready. The boiler Of the locomotive
is of porcelain, and the figure Of the fremen Of
the same material, appears on the locomotive,
vigorously ringing the bell, which is supposed to
mean the breakfast, dinner or supper bell. The
tender carries the sugar insan elegant caisson,
with goblet for. cognac, and stunning small cut
glasses. The sides of the tender are enbellished
With racks for cigars. The most curious con-
triyance of a!ly is a secret music box, located
somewhere iu the tender, which being set, plays
eight popular airs. The whole establishments,
engine and tender rests upon. two beautiful
enameIed walters. Upon the side of the locono-
tive is emblazoned, St'President Jefferson Davis :"
Upon the front Just where the cow-catcher ought
to be, appears the confederate banner and the;
battle-hag entwined, with the national ensign OF

A word of Consolation.

Our subscribers will bear With US for q while
longer, and only for a short time we trust; the
difficulties attending the publication of . paper
at the present time, are many, and Of such a
character as would try the patience Of job;
every thing is awry, nothing right its IKE pull
ing up stream. Irregular mail facilities or more
properly, occasional mails and no facilities, no
exchanges, and the worst of all no currency, are
few of the perplezities. Owing to the lack Of
a circulating medium, or currency. re ere thrown
as fat as founder, can get no one to work for
us. nor any material to work with, therefore in
the face of these ineonyeniencies We beg a little
indulgence. Until We drift into smooth sea asains
it will be impossible to issue sheet more than
once a week, and with that our kind readers must
rest content. Perhaps it may be not aaliss to
say further, though we do not believe that re
have an unreasonable subscriber on eur books,
or one not open to conviction, that though they
have paid up in advance, We are row working TOR
nothing, absolutely nothing, and not one of them
but will fully understand and appreciate our posi-
ton. If there are any however who object, and
think an unfair advantage has been taken, we beg
them to call up and We viii refund with consid-
erable interest. The few who have bat lately
sent il their subscriptions We regret not being
able to stand ap to-. Others will receirs it, as
published, until their time expires. -.

A Revival.

| In the town nf C. lived a preacher by
the name of Smith Now Smith was /
clever fellow in his way, and withal zeal
Gus christian. One Sunday, us he entered
the pulpit, the day being very warm, hC
took off his coat and rolled up his sleeves
30 as to fight the devil easier, as he ex
pressed It. Just as he got ready to com
mence his sermon, a loud groan was heard
on the right-hand side Of the house,
The sharp ears Of Smith, catching the
noise. he got down out of the pulpit, and
made the best of his way across the church
in the direction whence the noise proceeded
and addressed Tom Nj Ia notoriou.
wagl thus:
Smith.-"O. verify, the ways of the
wicked are wonderful know the Lord is
working within you. You miserable sinner!

Smith.-''O, verify, another proof the
Lord is working with you! o. what did
you see?'
Tom. 81 saw Satan himself. sitting on
a black throne, with large crowd of imps
surrounding him."
Smith.-'True, most truel Pray 20

Tom.-And after while, one of the imps
approached him. and asked his satanic ma
jesty when he would allow him to visit a
certain town. But Satan told him to go
and sit down"
Smith. True! Every word of this is
the truth, my brethren, addressing the
audienee.). ~
Tom.-"And after awhile another imp
approached, and asked Satan when he
would send to the town Of c., to get
some more sinners"
Smith.-''Truc! and what did he say? O,
there a great deal in dreams!'
Tom. He clustered up and spoke thus,
'Bosh! go away! I've got Smith therel''
Smith (indignantl Its an abominable
falshood. My hearers, don't believe this
man. He is an impostor''
But it did not do Smith any good, as Tom
sncaked out Of church amidst roar of
laughter ..
Whenever Smith went to preach, after
that, he kept his coat on.

Fate of Fast Mem.

The vicious die early. They fall like
shadows or tumble wrecks and ruins into

before forty. "The wicked liveth not hall
his days. " The world at once ratl6es the
truth and assigns the reason, by describing
the dissolute life Of fastmen F" that is, they
live fast, they spend twelve hours in six,
getting through the whole before the meri-

ers are in the glory of light. 'Thcir sun
goeth down while it is day." And they
might have helped it. Many one dies be-

and Byron. to whom, when dissipated and
profgate, thirty-seven is so fatal, and your
obscure and nameless wandering stars, who
waste their time in libertine indulgence
they cannot live, they must die early. They

They run at such rate that the fire goes

Getting Married.

A rather laughable transaction took place
a week or two ago in the town of De Witt;
Clinton, Michigan, in which love and br,sii-
ness are so intermixed that it requires an
adept to distinguish between the two. A
milk safe pedler called at the house to sell
enc. The woman informed him that she
was widow, and would much rather have a
man. The pcdlcr informed her that he
would send her man if she would take
safe. She took it, and the pedler went on
his way rejoicing. He soon met man who
he ascertained had no entcrprising compan-
ion, and directed him to the widow. Going
on he called at house to sell safe, and
was informed that the man was widower,
and would prefer wife. He told him that
i. he would purchase safe he would direct
him where to get woman. He took the
safe, and the pedler directed him to tho
same widow. When he reached her he was
about an hour too late, the first having lust
secured the prize. The kind-hearted wo-
man, however, sent hin to second widow,
whom he secured, and both loving couples
we're married that afternoon.

one whom he specially wished to see. He

the possibility of giving the meeting to his

reverence FOR the name and fame Of the
great statesman Of New England. viii be
interested in the following, which We take
from late address of George Tckuor Cur
tis in New York. 1t is valuable contri.
button to our political history. Alr: Curtis
says:
''DASisL WEBSTER IF LIVING WOULD HAVE
BEEN A DEMOCRAT.
I'm all the early part of my life was g
political follower of Daniel Webster. The
school in which he trained .he young men
who came under his influences and really
gave themselves to his teachings, was en-
tircly inconsistent with any sympathy or
cooperation in sectional party; and it was
only short time before his death that the
tendencies of a large part of Northern
Wings to cotivert themselves into sectional
party began to appear But the signs of
this change did appear, and Mr. Webster
saw and comprehended their full import. ~

against them; and the manner in which he
did 1t, IN my case, can never forget: The
scene was iu that plainly y-furnishcd apart-

time was three days before his death Be-

light sufhced, as he closed them at night,
and could open on it with the dawn. Be
yond the lake stretched the great farm
which he so loved to cultivate, and then the
low beach and the ocean. He had been
very i'll for several weeks, and it was appar-
ent to all about him that his life was now
grandly drawing to its close: He had that
morning, for the first time during several
days, paid some attention to the political
news; it was just before the Presidential
election which resulted in the choice of Gen.
Pierce over Gen. Scott, and the returns
from some of the previous State elccti6ns
were coming in. pretty heavily against US
Wings. We We're alone together, and I
mentioned to him the news which had come
down from Boston the night before. Call
ing me to his bedside by my Christian
name, he said: THE Wing candidate will
not be elected. You love your country, and
you think its welfare involved in Wing sue

you, to give no countenance to a sectional

A Brace OF Sfamnterers.

Stephen c. was jovial soul, and hesi-
tatcd not to play trick on any one. A
mtng his acquaintances was a young lady
and young man, both of whom stammered
very badly. They were not acquainted with
each other.
Bob F., the young nan alluded to-,
was quite ST nsative, and to think that any
one Vas making fun of his defect, made
him frequently fly into passion. 1t was
Stephens fortune to meet both of them ut
a party, and he soon determined oh joke.
Miss Sue,' said he, approaching his
lady friend, may | have the pleasure Of
introducing you tc one of my acquaintances
a worthy young aentleman?'
'Cer-cer-cer-tainly sir"
Away he started for Bob F..
"Bohgold fellow, here is a nice girl
want to introduce you to. Come on. ~
does she tawtaw-talk?' =
"Yes-like blazes."
So off they started, and soon approached
the scat of the lady. Stephen introduced
them and Immediately drew to one side that
he might see how they would manage each
other, when his ears were greeted with the
following conversation:
How are you enjoy-joy-joying yourself
th-th-this evening marin?'
''Th-th-thank you, pleasantly. But it is
ra-ra-rathcr warm.
Bobs brow contracted, but he restrained
his f. lngs, and continued:
81 re-pr-r- presume you are acquainted
with most of those pre- r-r-p esent?"
"Ye-ye;y yes, sir with all be-be.bo:
lieve," said she smiling ~,
But the smile ruined her forever in Bob's
estimation; for hastily rising, he exclaimed:
By th-th-thunder! a-a-dam, if that is
thy WV way you make f-f:fun of f-f-fel-
lows's in-fr-6rmities; you may 60 to gr-gr-
grass"
Stephen laughed immoderately all the
tine, and was subsequently called to ac-
count for the trick, but his good nature
drove away all bad feelings.
