A BEAUTIFUL LOVE STORY.

The Count do St. Croix, belonging to
one Of the noblest and wealthie.t
families of France, became engaged, after
long courtship, to lady his equal in
position and fortune, and famous for Ter
beauty. Shortly after the happy day
was to render two loving hearts one,
the Count was ordered. Immediately to
tho siege Of Sebastopol; so he girded
on his sabre, aud, ct the head Of his
regiment, marched on to the battle. field,
During the Counts absence it happened
that his beautiful affiahcod had the

and death, she recovered, but found her
beauty hopelessly lost. This disease
had assumed, in her case, the most yiru.

distgured, but scanned and SCARED to
such frightiul extent that she became
hideous to herself, and resolved to pass
the remainder of her days in the strict

A year passed away, when one dav

to France, accompanied by his valet,
presented himself at: the residence of
his betrothed and solicited an interview.
This wos refused. He; however, With
the persistence Of lover, pressed tho
suit, aud finally the lady made her ap-

At the sound Of her voice tho Count
rushed forward to- embrace her, but step.

tears. A heavenly smile broke over
the Counts handsome features, as rais-

HOW ADVERTISING PAYS.

The New York Journal of Commerce
says of one of the Oldest banking hou-
ses in the country: owe are pleased to
learn from its managers that. thcy trace
in their business the benefits of Judi
cious. advertising. Any one would sup
pose that such bank, so long establish.
ed and so widely known, might sell its
bills and drafts, and obtain collections
enough to satisfy any reasonable ambi-
ton, without dollar Of outlay for ad-
vertisine; and so it might be said of
Messrs. Brown Bros. 4 Co., Duncan,
Sherman & Co., and other leading bank
ers, whose advertisements appear all
the year in our columns. Nlessrs. A.
L. Stewart & Co., who are moro, cxten-
sively known than any house on this
continent, pays us annually moro money
for advertising their business than any
of their would.be rivals. If a house is
not we'll known, it should become so by
a liberal Advertising; and tho better it
becomes known, and tho larger its busi-
ness, and the more independent it would
seem to be, the better still docs it pay to
advertise it. Advertising is not only a
means of success, but it is Mt once tho
evidence of it and guarantee of it's
countinuanco. Many noble house date
the decadence of thcir trado from the
suspension of Advertising" Tho Balti-
more Sun adds eff this is true of such
extensive and we'll established houses
as those named--and that it is, no one
can doubt--how much more forcibly
docs it'apply to smaller financial, mer-.
camille and other business enterprises,
and particularly to those seeking to os>
tablish a trade" - D.

to General r. Il. Lee in the following
complimentary manner: "Wo can only

last ounce of powder. IF that French

ABOUT JESUS


"Don't you know about Jesus 2" said
little Mable, . sweet child of six years.
She was visiting us aud left alone with
me on Sunday evening. She was tired
OF amusing herself with the pictures I;
and then, coming to the sofa, she oaress.
ed me in her, winning, ,-childlike way.
"Dear uncle, I want you to tell me
about Jesus. Mamma always
does on Sunday nights" evaded the
question, and talked of something else.
But she would not be put off. Again and
again she would ask: '.Please tell me
about Jesus" Finding did
not comply, she said, at length, opening
her blue eyes wide, "Why, you know
about Jesus, don't your" / did not
know about Jesus, nor did I wish to.
But the prattling Of the dear child led
me to sense of my ignorance and
guilt, and to seek, and, trust, to find
tho dear Jesus, about whom little Mable
was so eager to hear.-ED,

HUSBAND AND WIFE.

Did you ever hear the word "husband"
explained? I? It means literally "the band
OF the house," the support Of it, tho
person who keeps it together, as a band
keeps together sheaf of corn. There
are many married men who are not
husbands, because they are not the
band OF the house. In many cases the
wife is the husband: for oftentimcs it is
she who, by her prudence and thrift and
economy, keeps the house together.
The married man who, by his dissolute
habits, strips his house Of all comfort, is
not husband, for he is not house.
band; instead of keeping things togeth-
or, he soatters them among the pawn
brokers.
And now let US SEQ whether the word
"wife" has not a lesson too. It literal.
y means a Ucaver. The wife is the
person who weaves. Before our great
cotton and cloth factories arose, one of
tho principal empioymcnts in every
house was the fabrication of clothing.
Every family made its own. The wool
was spun into thread by tho girls, who
were therefore called spinsteys; the
thread was woven into cloth by their
mother, who accordingly was called the
,oeuper OF tho soyc and another rom
nant Of this old truth we discover in
the word "heirloon," applied to any old
piece Of furniture which has come down
to us from our ancestors, and which,
though it may be chair or bed, shows
that n loom WINS Onco n most important
article in every house. Thus the word
"wiio" means weaver; and in the word
itself is wrnpt up hint of earnest, in
door. stay at. home occapatiou,' we'll fitted
for her who buars this liame II iSeiccted.

From tho Camden Journal
HOW AN INSANE COLORED MAN
WAS rIsEATED by THE SCOTT
RING.

On Saturday last, as we wore return.
ing from Columbia, We saw on tho train
a colorcd man, q native of Camden,
known as John Pate, in charge of
tho Chairman of tho board Of Coun
ty Commissioners, Mr.. John a. Dos-
we'll.
Upon inquiry, VIC ascertained that
John Pate was insane, and that he had
been carried to Columbia, to bo placod
in the Asylum for the insane, located
in that city, but that he had boon do
nicd admission, because the county had
not tho necessary means, (S86,00) to
pay in advance for him. We asked why
was it, that tho county had not the
means We received for answer, that
Gov. Scott had forbidden the Sheriff to
collect taxes, umtI utter tic clcciion.---
In tho meantime, wo asked what
do you intend to do with John Patio ?
We will be Obliged to put him in the
county Jail, said our informaut.
Thus manacled, with the iron pierc.
ing his wrist, with no crimo upon his
soul, will John Patio be doomed to oc-
cupy folon's coll, and count tho links
upon the chain which fcttcrs his hands

MY DEAR SlR your obliging an.

L fully appreciate the present peril the
