Under, and in pursuance of the provisions of
the Internal Revenue Law, His Honor, the Com
missioner OF Internal Revenue has, upon due
proof, granted permit to the Southern Orphans
Association to hold its Gift Concert exempt from
all charges whether from the special tax or other
duty in respect to such Gift Concert
This is protection to all agents and exempts
them from any and all liability for license, tax or
otherwise.
This exemption is made upon the ground that
the proceeds of the sale of tickets for this concert
are to be devoted to a charitable object and is
but another evidence of the favor and considera-
ton with which our efforts have been constantly
met in nearly every direction;

POP

And there they sat a-popping corn,
John Stiles and Susan Gutter;
John Stiles as fat as any OK, b t--
And Susan fat as butter.
And there they sat and shelled the corn,
And raked and stirred the fire,
And talked of different kinds Of ears,
And hitched their chairs the higher.
Then Susan, she the pepper shook,
Then John, he shook the pepper,
Till both their faces looked as red
As saucepans made of copper.
And so they shelled, and popped, and ate
All kinds of fun a-poking,
While he haw-haw at her remarks,
And she laughed at his joking.
And still they popped, and still they ate
Johns mouth was like hopper
And stirred the fire and sprinkled salt,
And shook and shook the pepper.
The clock struck nine, the clock struck ten,
And still the corn kept popping
It struck eleven, and then struck twelve,
And still no sign OF stopping!
And John, he ate, and Sue, she thought
The corn did pop and patter,
Till he cried out, 1.-The cOrn's a-hre
Why, Susan what's the matterF
Says she, ''John Stiles, it's one o'clock;
You II die of indigestion.
I'm sick of all this popping corn
Why don't you pop the question =
A correspondent of the Federal Union takes

wing epitaph:
Old Bill is dead, the negroes Pope,
His pulse has ceased to throb;.
Grim death snatched him from the rope,
And saved the hangman's job.
STOP gentle reader, lightly tread.
For fear you make HIM cuss,
We've peace on earth now, he is dead,
But hell is in fuss.

James 4 Piper, d. ". Drake q George a. Piper
have this day formed a copartnership under the
name of PIPER, DRAKE & co. for the pur-
pose of carrying on the DRY GOODS BUSI-
NESS in the store-room lately occupied by Pr
per s. Funkhouser and a special and pressing in
vitation is given to the friends of both the old
firms of Piper & Funkhouser and Drake & Piper,
and the public generally, to give the new firm as
much of their patronage as in days gone by, and
they promise in return to sell goods at as low pri-
ces as they possibly can.
As we are about entering upon a new business,
we have adopted the motto of Short Profits and
Quick Salos," and intend to confne ourselves as
near as practicable to the Cash System, which
will enable us to sell goods much lower than I'M
der the old system of long credit
We intend to give our undivided attention to
the business, and will spare no pains in keeping
ourselves posted in all the nice points of trade SO
that persons, who may patronize us, may rest as
sured that no unreasonable profit shall be charged
for our goods
We expect in a short time to have select stock
of all the newest and best styles Of goods in mar
ket, and, if we mistake not, we will be enabled
to sell them at from 10 to 20 per cent. lower than
they could have been sold had we purchased ear
