II was born and raised in the country.
His father gave him good education,
and allows him plenty Of money. But
John, with all other attachments, never
could accustom himself to the society of
females, not because he did not like the
girls, but because his shy nature would
not permit him to ASSOCIATE with the fair
sex. 1t once happened-not very long
ago cither-that Johns father had some
very important business to transact in
the city. He also has, some very par
ticular affairs to attend to at home, which
demanded his personal attention, and not
possessing the power of ubiquity. he
delegated lis son John to transact that
in the city.
John being thus commissioned, i'm
mcdiately proceeded to the city, and to
the residence of his fathers old friend,
whom he found to be very nice old
gentleman, with beautiful daughter,
and gold spcctaclcs,
John was ushered into the parlor Ga
new thing for HIM, and motioned to
scat-no q sofa, (anothcr new thing.)
But we must use his own language: |
took my Seat, aud ,wades observations
Everything was i'ne, Fine carpets, fine
sofas, fine tables, fine curtains, fine books,
fine everything, and especially fine
young lady, who was dressed in fine silk,
fine satin, and who had fine curls, and
fine appearance generally.
A fter chatting with the old gentleman
a few minutes, he took down his hat,
told HE to make myself at home for IN
hour or two. and left-lctt me alone with
his daughter, and small mischievous
boy, the young lady's brother l didn't
relish the situation at all. The idea of

The Confederate Constituti0n-lnterest
ing Disclosures.

AS piece of historical informa-
ton, the letter of Mr.. r. Barnwell
Rhett regarding the construction
Of the Confederate Constitution is
both curious and valuable.
At the outset the dilemma pre-.
sented to the Confederate leaders
was this-whether, on the one
hand, to cling as closely as possible
to the old forms and the cold flag"
of the United States, to the ap-
proved Constitution, and to the
familiar divisions and prescribed
scope of executive, legislative and
judicial authority, or to strike out
in some new path, and essay o
"more perfect Union" The form
er method had the advantage of
familiarity, tradition and long ex-
perience; the latter that of bold
nees and independence. However,
the former triumphed. The Con-
federate flag was substantially the
old "Stars and Stripes" with some
stars blotted out and some stripes

Lying Abed In the Merning.

love to rove In the shady grove,
Where gentle zephyrs arc floating;
Ilove to sit at the festal board,
Where buckwheat cakes are smoking.
Hove to gaze at the golden blaze,
Whore Sol the West is adorning;
But this love far better than all
To lie abed in the morning.
That poets should sing of the joys of Spring
Is not in the least snrprieing; a
But l can't conceive why man should weav,
sonnet to carly rising. .
Though Franklin of old was q sage, I'm toll
can't go with him in scorning
The blissful scenes in tho land of dreams-
When lying abed in the morning.
love to lie when the sunbeams shy
Come peeping through tho curtain;
When phantoms bright regale the sight
With visions Of coffee aud muffius;
When the birds loud trill from the distant hill
The chorus of nature is joining :
II there's ought below con ba,ish woe,
Ills lying abed in the morning.
Let those who choose to retire to snooze
When the ducks and chickens arc going,
And rub their eyes when forced to rise
At chanticleer's dismal growing;
They loose the sight of the gorgeous night,
Aud spend their days in yawning-
Till midnight damp Ill burn the lamp,
And lie abed in the moi ming.

Committee do not doubt but that
they would do good work, but as
they were all made by the same
party the Committee did not dis:
criminate as to which was best, ae
they all appeared to be alike.
Mr.. T. F. .Lanier exhibited a
scythe and cradle Of his own man
ufacture, and was well made, and
is entitled to specia! notice.
Mr.. F. W. r. Nance exhibited
a tread mill which was we'll suited
to drive machinery when small
power, only, is required.
Mr.. III. w. Lawson exhibited a
lot of tin of his own manufacture.
There was no competition in the
tin. This lot although not very
extensive was not without merit.
and the Committee report favora-
bly, upon it.
Mr.. B. L. Norris exhibited a
pair of horse shoes that were of
fine polish and turn, and although
there was no competition, the Com
mittee think that they were very
fine and hard to beat.
The wagons, buggies, cradle and
horse shoes were represented to be
of District manufacture.
