Marrying Under Difficulties.
Il TiTOini0 Story.

" Al Ii AIN JO4NTS, small farmer In
~ our vicinity, had daughter, as
pretty and buxom lass as ever thumped
buttermilk in churn and whether you
saw her carrying eggs to market on Il flea
bitten mare, or helping to stir applebut-
ter at a boiling frolic, or making long
reach at quilting, or sitting demurely in
the log Westinghouse, on Sunday-in
short, wherever you saw her she always
looked as pretty, if not prettier, than she
ever did before
Notwithstanding her attractions, it
will scarcely be credited that Sally had
really reached the mature age of eighteen
without any avowed suitor. Admirers,
nay lovers, she had by the score; and
W henever liquor was convenient, many
signing bachelor would willingly have
given his riding horse, Or even his share
in Dads farm for her. There was indeed,
no lack Of will on their part; the difficult
ty was in mastering up courage to make
the proposal. Mankind seemed, for once
to be impressed with proper sense of
its own unworthiness. Now far be it
from any one to infer from this that Sal
ly was prudish or unapproachable. On
the contrary, she was as good-humored,
as comely, and disposed to be as loving
as she was loveable. Poor Sally it is
great misfortune for girl to be too hand
some; almost as great as to be too ugly.
There she was, sociable and warm hearted
as pigeon, amiable as a aturtle-dove, look
ing soft encouragement, as plainly as maid
en- modesty permitted, to her bashful
company of admirers, who dawdle about
her, twiddling their thumbs, biting the
bark of their riding switches, and play
ing a number of other sheepish tricks,
but saying never word to the purpose
Sally was entering on her nineteenth
year when she was one day heard to OBJ
serve that men were the meanest, siowest,
cowardliest, ornariest creatures in short,
good for nothing but to lay under an APP
pie tree with their mouths open, and wait
until the apples dropped into them.
This observation was circulated from
mouth to mouth, and like the riddle of
the Sphinx, was deeply pondered by Sal
ly's lovers. If any of them had wit
enough to solve its meaning, certainly no
one had pluck enough to prove the an
swer.
Not Of this poor-spirited crowd was
Sam Bates, stalwart youth, who stood
in winter, six feet two inches in his
stockings-in summer he didn't wear
any Sam was not handsome in the Or
dinary sense of the term. He was freck-
led, had a big mouth, and carroty hair.
His feet-but no NATTER he usually
bought number fourteen and half boots,
because they fitted him better than seven
or eights. Sam was wagon-maker by
profession, owned a fourishing shop, and
several hundred acres of unimproved

To hide her confusion, Sally covered her
face with her apron, when she felt an
arm thrown around her and heard stem
torian voice shout, She's mine, by Gaul-
ley"
Sam Bates cleared swath as if he
had been in graiR-feld, bore his unre-
sisting prize into the house and slammed
the door on the cheering crowd.
The wedding came off that night, and
on the following morning Sam rode home
driving his white COW before and carry
ing his wife behind HIM"

THE SMACK IN SCHOOL.

The following incident in a district
school is told by Mr.. William Pitt Pal
mer, of New York, President of the
Insurance Company in poet
ical address before "The Literary Socic.
ty," in Stockbridge, Massachusetts,, his
native home:-
district school not far away,
Mid Berkshire hills, one winters day
Was humming with its wonted noise
or three-score mingled girls and boys;
Some few upon their task intent,
But more on furtive mischief bent;
The while the masters downward look
Was fastened on copy-book,
When suddenly, behind his back,
Rose sharp and clear Il rOusing SMACK!
As 'twere a battery of bliss
Let off in one tremendous kiss
whats that?" the startled master cried;
THAT, thir," little imp replies,
"Wath William Willlth if you pleathe-
l thaw him kith Thuthanna Peathe"
With frown to make statue thrill,
The master thundered "Hither, Willr'
Like wretch o'ertaken in his track,
With stolen chattes on his back,
Will hung his head with fear and shame,
And to the awful presence came
great, green bashful simpleton,
The butt of all good natured fun
With smile suppressed, and birch upraised
The threatener faltered-"Tm amazed
That you my biggest pupil, should
Be guilty OF an act so rude!
Before the whole set school to boot
What evil genius put you to't!'

But when Susanna shook her curls,
And whispered was 'fraid of girls,
And dursn't kiss baby's doll,

Curious Sentence.

The following curious remarks are said
to have accompanied the passing of the
sentence, by "a judge of the olden
time upon criminal, against whom
the circumstantial evidence was rather
slight
" Prisoner at the bar, you have been
found guilty by a jury Of your country
men, of a crime which subjects you to
the penalty of death. You say you are
innocent of the charge the truth of that
assertion is known to only you and your
Maker. 1t is my duty to leave you for
execution. lfguity, you know you richly
deserve the fate which awaits if innocent
it will be great qualification to feel that
you are hanged without such a crime on
your conscience; in either case you will
be delivered from world of care p

A BackwOOds Jury

4 kNE OF your correspondents few
" weeks ago gave you an amusing
description Of an Arkansas Court scene,
where certain pig-stealer was summoned
to answer for coveting his neighbours
hogs. 1t reminded me of case de-
scribed to me by legal gentlemen some
years since, as having occurred in the
State, indicative of the Intelligence as q
backwoods jury.
1t appears thata character in those
parts, notorious not for the most enviable
and right system of morals, was indicted
imprisoned, and about to be tried for
stealing certain smoked hog-better
known as " bacon" Judge B, eminent
as a lawyer, (since Senator in Congress)
happened at the same time to have
business in the same court, and at the
urgent request Of the unfortunate victim
of the law, he was indeed to visit him
in the Jail.
After short dialogue, the Judge was
requested to act as his counsei-a fee Of
fifty dollars at the same time being qrOf-
fered. Judge B, upon questioning
the man found that-1st, he had stolen
the bacon I'd, that several witnesses had
seen him in the act, who were summoned
to give their testimony against him and
Sd, that a portion of the bacon was found
in his actual possession. Under these
circumstances, Judge-declined taking
the fee saying that he could do nothing
for him, and that his conviction was
certain.
Prisoner" But, Judge, L want you to
get up and talk it to 'em"
Judge B. " 1t would do you no
good, my man-the testimony cannot fail
to convict you. cannot conscientiously
take your money"
Prisoner" That's my lookout Judge;
all | want of you is to get tup and talk to
EN-"
The Judge being thus pressed, told the
man that it would undertake his defence,
but that it would entirely futile
The cause came on the next day. The
witnesses swore point blank to the identity
of the prisoner, his stealing and being in
possession of the bacon. Judge B,
according to promise, got up and ad-
dressed the jury, talking to them" in
way any thing rather than to the purpose
for about fifteen minutes and the case
went to the jury What was his aston
ishment when they without leaving the
box brought in the prisoner not
Gnihy {" He was, of course, Immediately
liberated.
Judge B, taking him aside, said
" "Nellmy man what can have induced the
jury to bring in such verdict, is beyond
my comprehension how, with such tes-
timony, they could bring you in "not
guilty." is utterly unaccountable to
me.
Judge" said the released culprit,
with knowing wink, =" cjght'on en- had
some of tie bacon ~
The rascsl knew perfectly we'll that the
eminence Of the counsel would shelter
the jury in bringing in verdict for the
party for whom he might act.

MI, EDITOR: We desire to express our
decided preference for Col. E. p. Jones,
of Greenville, az, our candidate for Con-
gross from this Congressional District.
South Carolina has now an opportu-
nifty to send Representative man to
Washington. Let him be Representa-
tiue man! Let him be true and tried
Carolinian, who will be recognized in
Congress as speaking for the State.
Whose personal honor will be the evil
dence of his bearing a warrant from our
people, and whose character will COM
mand attention and respect for his utter
ances in our behalf.
Such man is Col. Jones' He is tho
roughly Carolinian and entirely identi-
fed with our upper country.
At the sound of the first trumpet notes
of war, Col. Jones responded with his
musket on his shoulder. With prompt
and ready spirit his gallant comrades
elevated him to high command, and fol-
lowed his lead to battle. A tried and
trusted soldier of the State-an uncor-
rupted and incorruptible citizen-a ge-
nial son of tho up country-sanS peur CT
SanS reprochc-Col. Z. P. Jones is our
choice for Congress.

to produce the bodies of certain prison

Holden is sustained by the Supreme
Court of the State. By what authority
does Judge Brooks disregard the action
