not hope to pull off with her garments as long
as she lives Such friend is not to be caught
for the shaking of every bush. Her
intent is to gobble her up and carry her off
bodily. To carry her off bodily to ''Mr.
Richardson" She has spotted the prize; her
covetous arms are outstretched; her decoy is
the continued call, ''my darling" "my
darlng;" her purse is free; her home doors
are open; and ''Mr. Richardson" stands all
ready to Find way into smooth paths" for
her. Very smooth are these verdure-clad
paths to the eye of uncorrupted innocence,
and very swift the descent to the precipice
whittier all of them conduct. And all along
by the way, only flowers blossoming thickly,
inviting grottoes and sylvan recesses, messy
mating for little feet, the music of dripping
waters, and ''such larks, Pip"
The end is the ashes Of every hope of hap
piness. The dstraught little wife and mother
cannot but be overwhelmed with such
wretchedness as her heart never dreamed Of
Her husbands life is in the hands of jury of
twelve men. Her children enter on the world
with such black shadow across their inno-
cent vision as will never lift itself and release
them. The one for whom all this wicked
plotting was Matched has died by the insane
violence he did not scruple to defy. All
these trumpet-tongued letters proclaim the
whole OF the criminal secret to the world.
The cause and effect are too close together to
let the seasonable lesson be lost between.
Even Mr.. Greeley cannot swear down the
force of these letters.

A FEMALE observation-disclosures and her
needs. For complaints and irregularities to
which her sex is exclusively liable, HEINITsH's
QUEENS DELIGHT is recommended on the au-
thority OF wives, mothers and nurses, who have
tested It's tonic and regulating properties, and
"know whereof they speak," and also with the
sanction Of able physicians. who have admi-
nlstered the QUEES's DELIGHT to their female
results. Almost all female complaints are
complicated with mental gloom and despon-
dency, the gentle and lasting exhilarating
adapted to such cases. AS remedy for hys-
terra and mental depression, it has no equal
in the world. Nursing mothers find it An ad-
mirable invigorant. 1t is highly satisfactory
that this preparation should prove 60 emil
nently beneficial to the sex. Young and old
will find relief always. For sale by FISHER &

PROPOSED SALE OF CUBA.-An unoffi-
oial letter has been received at Wash
ington from Madrid, giving information,
claimed to be based on Trustworthy
sources, that the Spanish officials are
willing to enter into negotiations for the
sale of Cuba to the United States for
100000 in goidS free from all claims for
indemnity Of whatever character, but
that the public sentiment in Spain is SO
strong against this that it would be un-
safe for the regency to enter upon any
such negotiations. In confirmation of
this statement, it is reported that similar
information is in possession of mem
ber of the Senate Committee on Foreign
Relations.

The immaculate Whittemore has at last
come to grief. Although he stoutly
averrcd that one witness was inimical to
him, and swore falsely, and that he had
never heard of another to whom he had
offered to sell cadetship for $4,000,
the Military Committee of the House
cannot see it in that light. They have
reported hin. for expulsion, and the
House is to vote upon it to day. The
case must be bad indeed, when the
Committee, which like all the committees
of the House is of course intensely
partisan, felt impelled to bring in such
report.

How much is expressed in the fine old
sentiment, live and let live! How blessed
is the man who lives and lets live! How
cheering to see his fields teeming with
the richest verdure! what pleasure to
look on and see his sleek and plump ami
mails of every age and variety! Where,
in the world besides, can be found such
happy faces, such contented spirits and
such grateful hearts as can be found on
his estate? May God forever bless those
whose real, heartfelt sentiments are,
Live and let live"

The DECLINE OF AMERICAN COMMERCE.
The report on the decline of American
commerce, submitted to Congress the
other day, shows that from 1861 to 1866.
our tonnage engaged in the foreign trade
decreased from 2.642, 62S tons to 1,492,-
926 tons-a loss of over 43 per cent. :;
while Great Britain, in the same time,
gained 9S6,715 tons, or more than 80
per cent. The estimated value of the
tonnage of the United States engaged in
the foreign carrying trade in 1861, was,
$10S. .347, 748; in 1869, the estimated value
Of the same tonnage was, $40, 0,4SS,9 ,945,
with net loss in yearly earnings of
$50, 2,619, COL. Since 1853, our exports
have doubled. while the percentage car
ried in American vessels has fallen from
81 per cent. to "a per cent. To remedy
this, it is proposed to re-admit vessels
which sought the protection of foreign
flag during the war, to American regis
try; to admit foreign built vessels to
American registry free of duty, or on
payment OF a moderate tonnage duty; to
allow drawback on ship-building ma
terials; to allow withdrawal of stores in
tended for consumption from bond; to
exempt tonnage from all except Federal
taxes, and to subsidize American steam
ship lines.

The FATE OF HOME ENTERPRISE AT THE
HANDS OF THE PRESENT TREaIME.-Accord-
ing to the educational bill recently
adopted by the present Legislature. the
following persons compose the Committee
on Textbooks: Governor Scott, Messrs.
r. Tomlinson, Jillson, Maxwell (colored)
and Smalls (colored) We learn that at
meeting, held on Monday evening, the
question came up as to the selection of
textbooks for the public schools for
South Carolina. For some time past,
Philadelphia and New York have had their
agents here, to secure the privilege of
feeding the young of South Carolina
on Northern pabulum. Our renterprisipg
publishers, Messrs. Duflie & Chapman,
also presented the claims of their series
of readers and writing books. But, as
might have been anticipated, they were
not acceptable to the Board. New York
prevailed, and thus we have tho way in
which the Educational Committee pro-
pose to foster home enterprise. The
series of readers presented by Messrs
Duffie & Chapman we're prepared by
Professor Reynolds, and are really liable
to no objection, even at the hands of this
committee. We hope that the public
will bear this incident in mind. Let the
private schools. at least, sect to it that
they encourage home publications.
