-intention to resume business in a few days.
They have made arrangements to secure from OF

TIE CHANGE IN THE MAYoRALTY.-Mr.- u
W. Clark, the new military appointee to the
Mayoralty, had conference with Col Cogs'
we'll, the present Mayor, yesterday, and will be
installed at an extra meeting csiledfor to-mor-
row night. It is not known. as yet, whether
the newly appointed aldermen, will qualify.
They were appointed to the position without
being previously consulted by the commanding
General, and the first intirnation they had OF
the honor was the order published yesterday
morning. The name of Mr.. Lindstrom was
first proposed by Col. Cogswen to fill the w.
canoy occasioned by. the death ct Alderman
Courtenay, before the Council was reorganized
by General Candy, but the nomination was not
accepted at the;stime. Mr. .Lindstrom IS q
Swede, and first came to Charleston in 1859
since which time he has been resident here
During the war he is said to have claimed his
allegiance to Sweden, and thus avoided military
service. We understand that he holds property
in the city. -

tighten the cares of a weary mo-
ther; and do the little brothers
and sisters run to her with conf
dence and affection in all their
little troubles and sorrows. Then,
no doubt, she is a prize worth
seeking. But if the opposite is
true, then beware about trusting
her with your house and happi-
ness. ga man must ask his wife's
leave whether he shall thrive or
not,7 and a household with an in

WHO WOULDN'T BE AN EDIToRe
Editing a paper, says the Church
Union, is pleasant business.
If the type is too large, it don't
contain enough reading matter.
If the type is too small, people
won't read it.
If we publish telegraph reports,
people say they are all lies.
If we omit them, people say we
have no enterprise, or suppress
them for political effect.
If we have a few jokes, the peo-
pie say we are a rattle-head.
If we omit them, they say we
are old fossils.
If we publish original matter,
they condemn us for not giving
selections.
1t we give a man a compliment
tary notice, then they censue us
for being partial.
If we publish selections, they
say we are lazy for not writing
more, and giving them what they
have read in some other paper.
If we remain in the Office and
attend to business, folks say we
are too proud to mingle with oul
fellows.
If we do not, they say we never
attend to business.
If we publish poetry, we affect
setimentalism.
IF we do not, we have no liter
ary polish or taste.

Tndolent Girls.

Sometimes they change about, but
not often. A young man may
well think twice before hecommits
his fortune and future prospects
into the hands of such wife. 1t
needs a gold mine or a two hun
dred barrel oil well to support the
extravaganza of a lazy wife, and
when the mine or the well is ex-
hausted, then lifelong discomfort
and misery. Though the mans
income may be ever so great,
there il still need of industry in
the house mother. Great posses
sessions bring great cares with
them. Let no one fancy that in
q house with four servants the
mistress would have nothing to
do. AS a general thing, "POOr
Richards" maxim holds good: "If
you wish to be well waited upon,
wait on yourself if you wish to
be tOlerably well waited upon,
get one to help you; if you wish
not to be waited on at all, get two
to help y0u.'
An indolent girl or woman is
almost sure to be peevish, fret
full one, she>has nothing to do but
to brood over her cares and wor-
ries, until they become mountains.
Her cheeks grow sallow, and her
system isall enfeebled for the want
of wholesome outdoor air and
vigorous exercise.
Young ladies, if you wish to be
beautiful in mind and complexion,
rise early. Do not let your mother
get breakfast alone, and call you
down to eat it. She has done her
share of such work, and it is fair
| ly your turn now. Step about
briskly, toss up the beds, throw
open the shutters and windows,
and let the fresh morning air come
in while you sweep out the cham
bers and thoroughly dust every
nook and corner. Do not leave
the feeding of your poultry to
Bridget's careless hands, but do
it yourself judiciously, and the
difference in the proceeds will buy
you many pretty ribbon or new
dress which you covet. IF you
have time for it, an hour in the
garden, wedding beds or training
plants, will help still further tC
bring the roses to your cheeks and
the dimes into the family treasury
Our American girls do so little
outdoor work, that it is looked
upon as almost unwomanly to bt
seen in the garden at anything
more laborious than picking {
bowl of strawberries. But in for
eign countries, (which we try 81
hard to initiate in matters of dres

! a graceful accomplishment. Ever

Pleasant.

To be an editor. If you let
thing go as it happens, you
are wooden man. If you attempt
to do your duty, you are trying
to rule the country. You are
abused for not publishing any
news, and then you are worse
abused when you do publish the
news. People will take offense if
you notice them in your paper, or
if you don't-so you never know
whether you are to meet a man as
you parted with him or not.
Your party demands the most
implicit allegiance, and on elec-
tion day, when your prestige,
which is your all, is at stake, it
heedlessly or purposely abstains
from voting, and allows you tobe
beaten to death.
If you are neutral on politics
you are of no account to anybody.
You can't support one party new
er so candidly, and high minded.
ly without being denounced as all
that is mean by the other.
If you admit that your political
opponents are men, acting from
as sincere and conscientious mo-
tives as your own, you are in the
market for buyers. That you can
have other than a mercenary or
selfish motive, even in your pray
er, is secuted. t
Your editorials are termed
scurrilous by your enemies and
tame by your trends You are
not read if your paper isn't spicy,
and your paper isn't fit to be re-
ceived into decent family if it is
spicy. If you should take notice
of every cur swapping at your
heels, on the contrary, you would
be blackguard and an idiot in
the bargain. Moreover you would
soon be food for worms, for you
would have a fight on hand every
hour in the day, and an assassin
like Eattack at least once every
night: 1t is well for the editor
and the devils in hell that there
is great deal of u.s. TEx. sl.f
