You stood before me, and as approach

bright face, a hidious creature rose be-

out from view. Her picture is burned
into my momory. She was fat, squat

great, squirting green eye, with red
sdge, like a Lima ban cut in malachite
and set, in coral Her hair was the
color of the setting sun or rising moon,

young Seets down her downy neck. Her
nose was like dab ofsoft puddy thrown
against a door, and her mouth rcscsmi rcscm-

over-tightness, or weather crack in n
white oak log, or a ragged edged break
in little boys trousers. Her teeth
stood along, zigzagin that mouth at In
teryals like n line Of antique fence posts.
Her checks owing to carly misfortuncs
in the small po1 liue, looked like twin

A Close Shave.

We have heard of a great many mean,

to have met anything closer or smaller
than the following:
Pat:n Judkius was Justice in n
Western distrlct--a grasping, miserly,
close fstcd, flinty, hearted mat WHO had
grown old and gray in money making.
One day he hired poor man to come
and co some .1e work about his house
Upon removing his coat prernynto:;y to
settling at work, the laborer pipe slipped
out upon the ground, and old Judkins
saw it, and picked it up. After work lug
a while the man thought he would smoke,
but upon looking for his pipe it was not
to be found. Judkins came out while
he was searching, and asked wha, he had
lost.
I've lest my pipe" said the man.
sis this it?' asked Judkins, holding
up the pipe.
The man said it was, and reached out
his hand to take it.

AS TO Low DREssEs.-Most fash
ions owe their origin to an attempt to
to give prominence to the strong poiut
or hide the week point of King or
queen; Thus powder came into,voguc
to conceal queens gray hair, and large
berukcs because a king was bald. We
learn, however, from II belgian paper,
that the custom Of ladies exhibiting
their bus in AL the beauty Of nature
has far more romantic origin. In a
battle in which the French were engac.
ed GALL dates, we may mention arc in
reservo,) their ranks were broken, aud
they were routed. When they retrea-
ted their women barred their breasts and
entrcatcd them to pierce them rather
than permit them to fall into tho hands
of ;he enemy. This was two much for
the gallant Gauls Nerved with fresh
courage they turned, renewed the CON-
BIT and were victorious. From that
hour Frcncn women have on Tstal osea-
sions always been accustomed to wear
their dresses low. IN fact, wien you
see one ono wiio .rpcaE5 - :iavs :arau:

of indcllicnsy, but simply an indication
of the power OF notional sentiment. This
satisfactorily explains what many ikno-

FLoisENCL'S REWARD.
A Christmas STORY,
BY FRANCIS nENsIlAw BADEN

It was Christmas morning. The sun
was shining brightly ON the new fallen
snow. 1t WAS jus, col,l enough to freeze.
The sl"igh-bcIs were ringing mcrrily.
The children were having : gay tine,
skating aud coasting, aud playing tricks
on passcrs-by. One lecrvpit. old man
was III .ewa aswa !yrheir. trice::, and.
lay assstih they feared they nd killed
him. =, = 'T7=i7 ~ sr'y''
Another eye besides theirs witnessed
the accident and its cause. A young
gil stood in the bay Willow of til.
pansion before which Ike old nah had
fallen another Instant, and she came
running down the marble stcss, and uu-
mindful of her costly attire, the rich
silk that fell in heavy folds about her
form, she sank down beside the old man.
exclaiining:
For shame, boys. Como, Eugene,
and help me raise him. Nay, he mnst
be must be carried. Go bring Browu
here"
A moment or two after, Eugene re-
turned, followed by largo, strong look
Ing man, Who, in obclence to the girls
command, raised and bore to the house
the inunimate forh Of tho poor old
stranger.
Gently; gently; Brown Place him
on the lounge" she said.
Restoratives were applied. Tcndcrly
he was cared for. And after 4 short
time, the kind girls efforts were success
full. The old man opened his eyes, and
looked inquiringly iuto her face. She
explained the accident, and WAS holding
glass of wine to his lips, when SER
want came in the room, bearing on a sill
YER waiter card She looked ut it and
said:
"Tell Mr.. Granger will be up very
seen. Ask mamma to entertain him -
Fifteen minutes passed, and still she
fingered with the suffering man. He
was lame, and the fall had occasioned
such severe pain to the afflicted limb,
that lie had tainted. 1t was impossible
for him to walk at all, just then.
A rustic Of silken robes, and Mrs
Cameron gl!dcd into the room, and stood
looking with perfect amazement on the
sccna before her, Knceling beside the
lounge, alternately bathing the face and
placing vino to the lips of the miserable
old man, was her daughter.
"Florenco who ?-what is the mean
ing Of this ?" she asked.
The gentle girl explained, and her
mother said:
Gone of the servants could have at

PAVILION HOTEL.

We copy the following justly de-
served complimentary notice of the
Pavilion Hotel, from the Charleston
Courier
"This popular house, (aud deservedly
SOY announces through its head-Mrs.
H. L. Butter6eld, in the Conrier to-
day, that the price of board has been
reduced. The Pavilion has ever enjoyed
a wide spread reputation, not second to
any other we'll kept and excellent house,
as its generously filled register from
day to day can attest. It is admirably
situated iu one of the most eligible po--
tious of the city-corDer of Meeting and
uasel Streets-with verandahs running
its entire front length, from which an
uninterrupted view can be had. 10 the
character Of its Superintendent, we'll
known host-Mr. X. Hamilton-of6cials
and corps Of employees, it is not ex-
celled; while its table is never behind
in laying before its patrons the sub
stantials and dclicacies Of this aud
adjoining markets. We know that our
friends here and elsewhere will bear US
out in the statement we make Iii re-
ference to The old Pavilion"
