her prayers with more than usual deyotedneBs
she then fell into sweet sleep. In the middle Of

her prayers with more than usual deyotedness
she then fell into sweet sleep. In the middle o
in her bed, called to her aunt, pronounced tht
single word "Booth," and then fell back upon he1
| snowy pillow most exceedingly and .emphahcal1y
dead. There she lay, her soft silken ringlets hid
ing her snowy bosom; there she lay, her sweet
mouth 80 liked TINT she seemed to threaten to re:
mark Booth once more, and then die again. This
e the story that s told here by hundreds, and be-
ieved by many. You may take it on its own
merits{?)
It is said that there is nothing new under the
sun. On Saturday night [ certainly saw some
thing new under the moon, which shone down
very prettily upon Oatnan's Park, where the null
titudo, both skaters and non-skatcrs, viewed with
surprise, not ,lnmixed with admiration, the novel
and ingenious contrivance Known as Dayegas
Patent Skaters Support invented by Isaac Dave
ga, ESQ.,, formerly OF your city. It is certainly q
most ingenious affair. It is shaped ike hoop
shirt, or rather like mammoth baby-walker on
ice, and it is impossible for one to fall when
supported thcreby-in fact your correspondent,
who is no skater, tested the thing himself, and
finds it a perfect success. It has been introduced
at Oatman's Park and will, no doubt, soon be in
general use. I am pleased to perceive that q
Southern man can sometimes possess ingenuity
as well as live Yankee.
A few evenings ago, I attended, by special invi-
tation a rehearsal Of the play OF Married Life to
be performed soon by party OF amateurs, COM
posed entirely OF South CnrOlinlanS. There are
ten characters in tho d1anaatis pe1soalte eight of
which are personated by Charlestonians, and the
remaining two by o young lady and gentleman from
Sumter. The piece was performed most admira-
bly, at tho rehearsal, and will soon be giyon in
grand style at the private residence of one of your
ex-ctizens, before an audience in Which Southern
ers will so largely predominant that will forgot
for the moment that VIC arc away from our good
and we'll beloved old home.
Wo wero favored with q heavy fall Of snow on
Saturday night md Sunday, and the sleigh bells
sound merrly again. The weather too, is still IN
their souls and soles content. Day and night,
night and day the slipping and sliding goes on, for
this is a sport that can only be enjoyed at certain
seasons, and so must be taken advantage of whilst
it lasts.
There are upwards of thirty thousand work
women in this city, who US they cannot afford to
board in respectable localities, or rather respecta
bio houscs-fOr oil localities are pretty much tho
same here-there are thousands of virtuous Young
women, say, who are compelled to board IN
houses whore they are exposed to a sorts OF temp
tation wherefore, it is proposed to establish o
city boarding house for their benefit, and num-
ber of benevolent gentlomon have taken the thing
in hand.
