the wooden trade with foreign lands, atrade
Of which, in the wet Of England, Exeter
was the centre. The reputation aud sue
cess Of the house OF the Earrings was main
ly owing to the business babits, the pru-
dence, and the activity of the wife of Mat
thew, whose name was additionally known
as Madame Barring. The ladies' In those
days took an active part In the manage
ment Of their husbands affairs. They su-
perintended the labors Of the women en-
gagged as burlers, who pulled the ''goods"
over benches, and with burling-irons, a
sort OF large, sharply pointed tweezers, held
In the right hand, picked out the blacks,
knots and other defects left by tho weavers,
which, with q whisk In the left hand, they
swept into open bags at their sides. II
was one Of the duties OF the mistress now
and then TO go from one end to the other
of the long line of burlers encouraging
the diligent and reprehending the lazy.
Matthew Barring fully appreciated the ser
vices Of his wife, and built for her on the
banks OF the river, a handsome fishing
house of brick, from whose windows she
could uninterruptedly and comfortably in
dulge IN plscatorisl amusement. Pollu-
lions have driven away the fsh, the fishing
house has been razed 10 its founda alton, the
fisher lady has been long slumbering under
the turf Of the St. Leonard cemetery and
the memento raised over her burial place
by her eldest son, John. the senior partner
OF the house Of Johu and Francis Barring,
has wholly disappeared. Most ofthe mem-
bers OF the family are inferred In the
church-yard JUS described, which was sepa.

by a bridge thrown across the public road;
but some Of them repose In the Saints
Rest of the Exeter Presbyterians, and 9TH |
ers In a very pretty hut obscure burial place

from the city.
John and Francis Barring were both men
of singular capacity. Probably they fore |

staple trade upon which their father had
laid the foundation OF his own and their
prosperity; at all events they sought wi |

ANDREW JOHNSON, President.

STEADY HAB Ts.-Emerson, In bis book
on English character, speaks of an old
town In England where a piece Of bread
and draught Of beer was given to every
onewho sho1ld ask 1t al the gate. About
twenty call daily on an average. This is
paid for from fund bequeathed for that
purpose In 1136, moro than seven hun
dred years ago. To show how much trusts
are abused, however, 1t Is complained that
minister takes $1,000 per annum from
the income of the fund intended for the
poor, while this small pittance is only
spent on small beer and crumbs.
Considering the com paratiye ages OF the
two nations, we can nearly match that in
this country. About 1775, the Hon. Theo-
dore Atkinson of Portsmouth, N. H., left a
legacy OF { 1000, the income OF which was
directed TO be distributed In loayes of
bread to the poor of that town every Sun
day. This has been done regularly 70
nearly century; about $4,000 have been
thus spent, and the fund has not been i'm
paired.-hiStorical Magazine.

THE President To Gov. PERRY The
following telegram was sent by the Presi-
dent to Provisional Gov. Perry;
Washington, November q, 1865
To B. F. Perry, Provisional Governor:
do not think 1t necessary for the mem
bers elect for South Carolina to be present
at the organization of Congress. On thG
contrary, 1t will be better policy to present
their certificates of election after the two
Houses have organized, which will then be
simple question, under the Constitution,
of the members taking their seats. Each
HOUSE. must Judge for itselft the election re-
turns and qualifications of its own men,
bers. AS TO what the two Houses will do
In reference to the oath now required TO be
taken before the members can take their
seats is unkno Tn to me, and | do not like
10 predict. But, upon the whole, am of
opinion 1t would be better for the question
to come up and be disposed of after the two
Houses have been organized. hope that
your Legislature will adopt code in refer
ence TO free persons of color that will be
acceptable to the country, at the same time
doing Justice to the white and colored Pop
ulstion.
