A Iittle Romance About Garibaldi.

A gentleman who sat next me the other
day at a dinner party gave me q little bit
of romance about Marchesa Garlbaldi,
as the second wife Of the famous Italian
general is called. / had heard that she
was the wife of Garibaldi's son.
"Not at ALL" said my dinner table com,
panion, Milanese count, who knew all
aboutthe strange affair "she.is the second
wife Of the general himself. She left him
the day after the wedding and they have
never met since"
| looked all the questions / was dying
to ask, upon which he added, with laugh
and shrug, as if he Knew more than was
proper to tell at that moment:
"No reasons were ever gwen on either
side"
The subject was dropped, but it recalled
to Inc a strange story | had. heard some
wears ago of q second marriage Of Garibal-
dis, and which served well to join on to
the unfinished or broken link that my
dinner acquaintance had given me- I'll
tell it to YOU as it was told ito me, and
YOU can ioin the two links or.not, just as
YOU please. 1t was at least q dozen years
ago. The lady was young, stitled, rich,
handsome and fast No name was given
me She conceived desperate, passionate
admiration for the famous fMberator OF
Italy" She was young enough to be
Garibaldi's daughter, and he was passing
then, as he has always, for the lnconsola-
Bile widower-the celebrated : Anita" his
first wife, who accompanied him through
MANY of his adventures, and whose sad
death has been so often and so touchingly
described, is supposed to be the only love
of Garibaldis Life. Nevertheless, themar-
riage took place between the General and
the Young 1ombardy Marchesa. But sad
to relate, { on the wedding day, after the
ceremony Garibaldi received information,
with undoubted proofs, of tho immortality
been informed sooner? l cannot tell you
anything but the simple storHas | heard
it. l never ask questions oni such occa-
sions. think it keeps the fream of
romance from rising properly3 When the
newly married pair were left talSne, Garibal.
di told his young wife what tie had heard,
but said: If you will saysyou are an
honest woman, l will take your word"
"But if can not, what thenY" asked
the Marchesa.
1--WE must part forever this very mo-
ment,p replied Garibaldi.
The young woman turned, left her
husband of an hour, and never saw him
again. 1t was said that the stories against
her character were false, and the young
girl, though gay, was innocent But her
pride was so wounded at the charge being
made by her husband at that moment and
is such a peremptory manner, that she
scorned to justify herself; his want of
faith in her dispalled her illusions and
broke the charm Of her love.

gy The Empire with Emperor Ulys-
SOS may he among the things in store for
this land. We say the people can avert
it, We have faith that there may be
among the eventualities of the next four
years something that will cheer the heart
of the patriotic people of all parties,
something that will change the present
drift of events and bring about reaction.
The story of Tuesday Is black, but Hope
throws over the sable page some faint
CLEANS of light. We must not despair,
but leaving the future in the hands of
the God of History, 60 about our daily
work with uncrushed hearts and strong,
steady, self-reliant hands. We of the
South haye little to hope for from Grant.
BUTT may be that now he fancies him-
self4ecure in the possession of coveted
power and patronage, he may relax some
what of his grip upon our throats. AT
any rate the philosophy of events is
deeper than the mad designs of any
despot. 1t is our hope that there will be
somewhere, at some time, some evolu-
ton of good for those who keep their
souls white against the day of deliver
ance.-Wilmington Star.

yourself? 1t is well to think of this, as
it may change the whole question.

The Warming has been Needed.

Since the exposure Of the attempts
made by certain INSCRIPTIONS local deal
ers, to palm oil their coarse astringents,
made from cheap and impure materials,
in the place of the great national tonic,
Hostetters Stomach Bitters, public opin-
ion has set strongly against these EN-
pirics and their preparations. Their oc-
cupation is gone, or soon will he. When
the light is let into deception it soon
willis down. Persons who triile with
theirown health, by using unknown pre-
parations, with 10 guarantee to sustain
them, when an established specific,
proven by twenty years experience to
be exactly what it is claimed to be, is
within their reach, are sure 10 repent
their temerity. Many have done so in
this instance, but it is hoped that the
truth plainly spoken has arrested the
evil. III the meantime the demand forthe
leading protective medicine of America
wasnever SO great as it has been this sea-
son. From the fever and ague districts
of the west, south west, and south, it is
literally overwhelming, and it may be
said of the advices from all parts Of the
cures it is cflecting in dyspepsia, bilious
complaints and chronic constipation,
that their name is legion" Every
where the sick and feeble seem to have
rcalizod tho imnOrtauce of "holdiur fast
that which is good" and Of avoiding
what is spurious and dangerous"
The numerous " Bitters," under vari-
Gus names, which merconary dealers ell
dcavor to substitute for Hostetter's Ston-
ach Bittcrs, should be avoided, for theil
own sakes, by the sick and public al
largo. Hostctter's Bitters are procurablC
in bottles only, and never sold in bulk.

Self-Respect.

A brave man struggling with adversely
is sight worthy of the gods And a
brave people, whose fate it has been to
succumb to superior power, and to drink
to the dregs the bitterness of humiliation,
if they but preserve their integrity, and
keep the whiteness of their souls, will
shine on the pages of history and forever
attract equally the suffrages of admiration
and sympathy. But they must never for
felt their self-respect, must be true to
themselves always, true to honorand duty,
and be no less boldly than discreetiy re-
gardful of their proper character If beat
en- On one point, they must show their vigor
and manhood on another.
In their day of power and pride, the
people of South Carolina staked every
thing upon principle. They were the ad-
yanced guard of the States rights column
in its grand struggle with consolidation.
While the contest was on the floor of the
Senate, where the mighty champions of
debate met and measured their swords of
argument the victory usually remained
with the advocates of her views. Those
whom she furnished for the arena, if not
always successful, were always able and
always respectable. No man, not even
the matchless Webster, could cope with
John C. Calhoun, when fully reused upon
his favorite theme of the rights of
the States. These doctrines, SO un-
answerably maintained, and SO glori-
ously enshrined in the volumes Of his
works, were put in issue on the field of
battle, and went down in the strife. But
"Truth crush'd to earth will rise again,
The eternal years of God are hers"
History has her revenges, and the cause
which to-day lies bleeding will, in the
revolutions of the wheel Of time acquire
power for its maintenance corresponding
to its intrinsic virtue and worth. We
have but to yield to the storm which we
cannot resist, and, like flexible plant,
only bend to rise again erect and stately
as ever. Let us not lose faith in our
selves, nor in God. Let us not abandon
our'country, nor turn our backs upon its
past, nor despair Of its future fortunes

A DELIGHTFUL SURPRIsE.-Ladies
whose faces are clouded by superficial
discolorations, and who have resolved to
try HAGAN's MAGNOLIA BALM as q reme-
dy, have no idea Of the welcome surprise
they will receive from their mirrors after
a few applications of that healthful puri-
fer of the complexion. If at all eXcita-
BILE, they will scream with rapture on
beholding the change whether the blem-
ish it is desired to remove be sallowness,
blotches, pimples, freckles, roughness,
or an unnatural pallor, it is bound to
disappear under the tonic operation of
this wonderful agent. To say that the
blemish disappears, does not, however,
convey any idea of the effect produced
by this celebrated beautitier. The un-
slightly tinge, whether diffused over the
whole countenance or in spots, or patches,
Is replaced by uniform, pearly bloom,
to which no description can do justice.

%. Give ME- a Home in the South

O! give me a home in the South,
Down by the murmuring stream,
Where the fragrant magnolias bloom,
Life's likes midsummer's dream;
Beautiful stars Of the night
Peep thro' the curtains OF space,
Shedding their soft mellow light,
Loving to smile on my face.
O! give me home in the South,
The loveliest spot on the earth!
/ care not how humble it be,
The dear, sunny land of my birth.
O! give me home in the South,
Where the moeking birds gather and
sing
Their melodies cheerful and gay,
Welcoming beautiful Spring;
Where the river floats gayly along,
In its winding way out to the sea;
I care not where others may dwell,
A home in the South give to me.
o! give me home in the South
A home meath Southern sky,
Where I've lived all the Summer OF life,
Where the friends of my youth live
and die.
When Pm called by the Angel of Death
To leave all love on the earth,
May the Angel then find me asleep
In the beautiful land of my BIRTH.
