LITTLE SWEETNESS.
She Tells All About What is Going on
at the Hotel.

I'm only little girl, but l think !
have as much right to say what 1
want to abeut things as boy. i
hate boys; they're so mean they
always grab all the strawberries at
the dinner-ta table, and never tell us
when they are going to have any fun.
Only i like Gus Rogers. The other
day Gus told me he was going to let
of some fire works, and he let Bes-
sic Nettle and me go and look at
them. All of us live in a hotel, and
his mothers room has a window with
a balcony. His mother was gone out
to buy some creme de lis TO put on
her face, and he'd went and got eley-
eu boxes of lucifer matches, and ever
so Eany pieces OF CASTLE soap; he
stealed them from the housekeeper
just when she went 10 put them in her
closet, Gus went and told her Mrs.
Nettle wanted her minute, and
while she was gone, be grabbed the
soap ana matches, and when she
came hack he watched her, and she
got real mad, and she scolded Della
CHATS the chambermaid, and said
she knowed she did it; and / was
real glad, because when 1 was turn
ing somersets on my mothers bed,
the other day, Della slapped me, and
said she wasn't going TO make the
bed two times to please me then
Bessie and me sticked the matches
in the soap like ten-pins, and Gus
fired them off, and they blazed like
anything, and they made an awful
smell, and Gus went and turned a
little gas on, SOS his mother would
think it was that.
We get our dinner with the nurs-
es, cause the man that keeps the no.
tel charges full price for children if
they sit at the table in the big din
ing room. Once my mother let me
60 with her, and l talked heap at
the table, and an old lady that sat
next TO US, said, "Little girls should
be seen and not heard' The mean
old thing died last week, and l was
real glad, and L told Della so, and
she said if / went and said things
like that, l couldn't go to heaven.
Much she knows about It; and /
wouldn't want to 60 if dirty old
things like she is went there. Yes
terday Mary, our nurse, told Bessie
Nettle's nurse that she heard Larry
Finnegan was going to marry her.
Larry is one of the walters, and he

dining-room, and Bessie Nettle's
nurse said, "Oh Lord what a lie 80
and Bessie Nettle went into her
mothers room, and her little broth

said, 'Oh Lord what lie p and YOU

the eEw,TcHEp TERRIER.

Sam johnson was "A culled mani
WHO lived down by the sea;
He owned q rat tan 1errier
That stood 'bout one foot three;
And the way tina: ereatur chawed up rats,
Was gorjns for to see.
One day the dog was slumberin'
Behind the kitchen stove,
When suddenly a wicked flea
= An ugly little cove
Commenced upon his faithful back
With many jumps to rove.
Then mp arose that terrier.
With frenzy in his eye
And, waitin' only long enough
To made touching cry,
Commenced to twist hiSseif around
- Most wonderfully spry.
But all in vain, his shape was such
So awful short and fat
That though ne doubled up hisSelf-
And strained hisseif at that,
His mouth was half an inch away,
From where The Nsarlnint sat-
: The dorg set up an awful howl,
And twisted like AN eel,
Emitting cries of misery
At every nip he'd feel,
And tumblin' down and jumpin' up,
And turnin' like a wheel.
But still that most owdacious flea
Kept up a constant c.iaw
Just where he couldn't he scratched out
By any reach of paw,
And always half an inch beyond
His victims swapping jaw.
Sam Johnson heard the noise, and came
.t To save his animiIe:
But when he see the creature spin
A barkin' ali the while
He dreaded hiderfobia,
And then began To rile
" The pup is mad enough" SAYS he,
And luggin' in his AK,
He gave the wretclIid terrier
a pair of awful cracks,
That stretched him out upon the floor
As dead as carpet Lacks.
MORAL.
Take warnin' by this terrier,
Now turned 10 Sassdye meati
And when misfortune's flea shall come
Upon your back to eat,
Beware, or you may die because

CAMERON, an hishman, had been arrested
and lodged in Anderson Jail for Burglary.
We have since been informed that CAMERON
is a Scotchman, and not an LisAman as sta

rs the Irish people have always borne a rep.
utation for honesty almost provcrbial, and we
have a good many Irish cmigrants to this
County who arc making good citizens. We
remember hearing Judge O'NEAL once re-

that it had been a rare thing in his long ofio-
dal career, for an Irishman to be charged with
fraud or dishonesty, though they often broke
into court from tho too free use of the "Shil-

directing the muscle of tho slave, has created
and furnished to tho Northern people a pro.
duct which has built up and cstablishcdthei
manufacturing and commercial wealth and
prosperity. During all his time, our people
applied their surplus capital, to the growth
or purchase of negroes, neglccting altogether
internal improvements, but the result Of tho
late war has completely rcvolutionized the in.
dustrial pursuits of tho South. Possessing q
fertile soil and genial climate, adapted to the
growth of every article of prime necessity,
having abundant water powers for tho most
extensive manufactures, with good shipping
ports for commercial purposes and trained in
lessons of economy and endurance by four
years of privation and hardship, her capital
will henccforth be applied to her own enrich.
ment and territorial Independence. Her rich
harvcsts of cotton can, and in time will be
manufactured at homo without tho expense
of freight to Now York and back, and her
ports and harbors will become the shipping
point for surplus productions. Then the
manufacturing cities of tho North will realize
to the furllest extent, the truth of Senator
Spraguc's assertion, and while their prospects
grow darker tho future of tho South, having
from its natural advantages tho innate germ of
wealth and prosperity will grow brighter and
brighter.
