A judiclous wife is always chipping off
from her husbands moral nature little twigs
that are growing in wrong directions She
keeps him in shape by continual pruning. If
you say anything silly she will afectionatey
tell you so. II you declare that you will do
some absurd thing, she will find means of
preventing your doing it. And by far the
chief part Of all the common sense there is
in this world belongs unquestionably to
woman. The wisest things a man commonly
does, are those which his wife counsels him
to do. A wife is the grand wieder of the
moral pruning-knife. If Johnson's wife had
lived, there would have been no boarding up
of orange peel--no touching all the posts in
walking along the streets---no eating and
drinking with disgusting yoracity If Oil
yer Goldsmith had been married, he would
never have worn that memorable and ridicu-
lous coat Whenever you find a man whom
you know little about, odly dressed, or talking
absurdly, or exhibiting any eccentricity OF
manner, you may be tolerably sure that he is
not married man; for the corners are round
ed of--the little shoots are pruned away, in
married men. Wives generally have much
more sense than their husbands-especally
when their husbands are clever men. The
wife's adyices are like the ballast that keeps
the ship steady. They are wholesome, though
painful shears, clipping off little growths OF
self-eonceit

GERMAN SOCIETIES. The following letter is
published with pleasure:
CHARLESTON, September IA, 1aGs
Editor Charleston Daily News:
SR-Permit me to correct some errors in
your local news of this morning.
I am at present, on account Of ill-health, not
connected with the Philharm onic Society. Pro-
fessors Deden and Eckel are the leaders, and
sincerely hope our splendid amateur corps will
aid these gentlemen in their efforts Such an
institution will be, as it has been in those
happy days gone by, an ornament TO our city.
Speaking of the German societies, you con-
fer upon me the honor Of being father to the
system of our social gatherings. These socie-
ties are limitations Of those in the fatherland,
for our young people. German school teach
ers are obliged to go through most thorough
musical training, in addition to their ordinary
studies, in order to form out OF school nu-
cleus around which art and refined intellec. .ual
amusement can gather. 1t is thought very
important to guide the youth in spending their
leisure hours. The old people always assist
and lend through their presence dignity to the
occasion. Having been trained from early
childhood for the profession of teaching, and
feeling it to be my duty to assist as much as
possible in the preservation OF good habits and
a cultivation of art and science, I devote much
time to several OF these societies, but am not
the father Of the system.
This occasion, sir, I cannot pass without
thanking you for the universal kind attention
you have always shown to our German popula-
ton. Iknow they do appreciate it, and am
almost certain that you do not suffer from it,
We are often misunderstood aud accused OF
being specific German. This is not 80. We
are as true to our adopted country as the most
loyal. We readily adopt anything good and
reject the bad. Social amusements, like the
one spoken Of above, we preserve on account
of the healthy influence they exert upon our
youth. Can nobody do something for the lost
youth on our street corners?
90 Most respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
A. J. HOFFMAN.

THE FANCY GooDs BUSINESS OF CHARLES
ToN.--MEssRs NORTH, STEELE & WARDELL.--
There is, perhaps, no branch OF business that
embraces greater variety of articles, or in
which the stock is more variegated, as that
found in the fancy goods or notion houses.
This branch Of trade has been followed as q
separate line since the days Of wooden nut
megs, and in Charleston it formed one Of the
principal features OF her large commercial
business. Before the war the fancy goods
houses were among the largest in the city, and
their annual receipts compared fayorably with
those OF other branches, but at that time they
connected the millinery with the fancy goods
business; but these are now separated, and the
business conductedin 10 different establishments.
After 'the'war the fancy goods business was
soon recuperated, and has continued to hold
its own in this market.
One of the largest and most prominent firms
dealing in this yle of merchandise is tha. OF
Messrs. North, steele Wardel, on the west
side Of Meeting-street, two doors from Hasel
The stock of this firm, though established since
the war, is perfect in every detail, and the Gus

for any item on his book.
The first floor is occupied with rows OF tables
on which are displayed the finest jewelry that
ever dazzled the beau mond, and sold at fabu-
lously low prices. Pearls, topazes, rubies and
precious stones seem to be at q discount, and
the astopishment is only quieted when 1t is
whispered that all is not gold that glitters. The
ladies and the milliners,. who are the principal
persons interested, will be pleased to learn that
the line OF buttons exhibited on the opposite Ia
BILE is the most elaborate assortment in theSouth
embracing every variety from the PLAIN, COM
mon and diminutive to those Of Brobodinaglan
proportions and of the same startling differ
ences in pattern and style. The shelves OF
this floor are filed with that Dondescrlpt COL
lection known as notions, which includes every
thing, from jews harp to gun cap.ss Further
on the vista opens on hosiery of every shade,
color and price from England and New Eng
land, but all serviceable and cheap for the
money. Other tables contain silk nets, col
lars, belts, brushes, &c. Pipes, cutlery, but
tons, spool cotton, writing paper, soap, &o.,
complete the stock on this floor.
The second stIry is another ala pcdrida,
containing an endless variety of gouds, more
valuable and different assortment from those
on the first floor. At the entrance OF the stairs

JOHN ]. AuDUBoN.-The Savannah Republi-
can publishes card calling for relief for the
fam Iy of John J. Audubon, the celebrated
naturalist. It is signed by VIM. R. Smith, who
says that having been for the last thirty-four
years engaged in making collections in natu-
raj history upon this vast continent, he deems
| it his duty, as the oldest living traveller in
| America, to make the disclosure OF the
nee ly and necesstous condition of the family
| of MIR. Audubon, and to invoke from the pub
Lie appreciation and sympathy such substantial
contribution and relief as will place them be-
yond suffering and want
In another part of the card he says that, un-
fortunately, it has happened that those elabo-
rate and invaluable works on orDithology and
zoology, which established his fame on per-
manent and enduring basis, and the letter
press for which were originally drawn By that
elegant and accomplished scholar, the Rev.
DR.. Bachman, Of Charleston, South Carolina,
have, from the intervention of causes entirely
beyond the control Of the surviving friends and
family Of MIR. Audubon, become almost extinct,
while the public demand for them has stesdily
increased with the growing admiration for their
author.
Anxious to crafty the wishes Of admirers Of
the illustrious naturalist, as well as to secure
from oblivion and preserve for future ages
these matured fruits of his labors, proceeded
to Charleston to consult with and make inquiry
Of DR.. Bachman relative to these works. 1t is
perhaps not generally known that the sons Of
Mr.. Audubon, Victor snd John Audubon, whose
early and untimely demise disappointed the
promise OF much honorable usefulness to the
world, were both the sons-in-iaw Of this gentle
man.
As the result of my interview with DR.. Bach
man, ascertained that Mrs. Audubon, the
widow Of the great naturalist, had still the
possession Of the original plates belonging to
the works on ornithology and zoology, but that
| in consequence Of the demise Of the two sons,
Victor and John, there was no capable repre-
sentative Of the family lett to undertake the re-
production, in new edition of these invaluable
works. twill thus be seen that unless timely
and efficient measures are adopted for the re-
viyal Of these rich stores Of scientific know
ledge, the public will and must be deprived to
great extent Of the fruits OF his labor and in
| dustry."
| He concludes by referring persons desirous
| OF oontributingjto DE-. Bachman, who will ap-
propriate all contributions for the benefit Of the
widow.

DIsoRDERLY HoUsEs.-H men become lit
tie too noisy over their glasses in bar-room,
OF if q colored woman gives dancing party
and her guests become loudly merry, at once
the barkeeper or the woman, as the case may
be, is hauled up by an ever vigilant police and
reported to the Mayor for keeping disor, -erly
house. In ninety-nine cases out of hundred
the accused is found guilty and sentenced to
pay fine of from twenty to one hundred
dollars. The gist of the offence is not
the breach of morals, but the disturb
ance Of the peace aud quiet OF the
city. Now, We would suggest that there Is
another class of disorderly houses, in regard
to which the police deserve no credit for their
vigilance. They have been an unabated nul-
ssnce in this city ever since emancipation.
These are the places where the negroes hold
what they call prayer-meetings. Now, OF
course We believe that the negroes have as
much right to hold prayer meetings as white
people, and it is all very proper and right that
they should hold prayer-meetings: but then
they should conduct themselves with
the same regard for other peoples
rights and comfort that white persons
do. Instead Of being quiet and orderly,
they never preach, pray or sing without yelling
at the top Of their voices, and adding to these
acknowledged religious exercises blrbarous
shouting, thus disturbing the neighborhood
around in most intolerable manner. In ad-
dition to this, they generally keep up their
meetings until twelve o'clock at night, thus
making the nuisance greater. A well conduct
ed and orderly negro prayer meeting is re-
spectacle assembly with which no one has any
right to interfere, but disorderly prayer
meeting should be as much subject for the
police as disorderly bsrroom or a disorderly
dance house. There is negro ranch in Went
worth-stre.t, opposite Glebe-street, which, on
Sunday nights, and sometimes on Saturday
nights, is the scene Of orgies which pass un-
der the name of prayer meetings, but would
do credit to .Pandemonium. The attention OF
our police officers is hereby directed to this
subject, and they are requested to inquire If
there is no means of abating this common and
well known nuisance.
