A Thoughtful Husband.

If he had confined himself TO his le-
gitimate quill-driving duties, there
would have been no occasion for him to
be strutting around with his left hand
in sling, a patch on his nose, and an
absurd old gum-shoe on one foot.
He was, however, only another vic
tim to that egotistical opinion of all
men, that they can do anything better
than woman.
He came home yesterday and found
his wife putting up peaches in those
old-fashioned tin cans that are closed
with sealing wax. She had an old
apron on, and two or three little
blOtches of sealing wax Ornamented the
floor, while the cat under the table was
licking a piece the size of a postage
stamp upon her back with great as
siduity.
"See here, Maria" said he, you'll
cripple yourself with that hot wax di-
rectly."
But she made no answer and he con-
tinued, oracularly:
"Women never have any mechanical
genius, any way. If there's a way of
doing anything wrong, they're sure to
try it,"
"Do you think you can do any bet
ter ?" she observed, with some acidity.
"Why, of course l can"
"Well, here, just distinguish yourself,
then ?"
So he sat down.
She handed him fresh can, Just out
of the water. He took it in his hand,
and dropped it as though it had been a
streak of lightning, while he stuck his
fingers into his mouth and looked sud-
den death at her, because he could not
swear. She gave him towel to hold
the next one with, and he took it on his
knee, lighted the sealingwax stick, and
commenced prodding around the top,
but the bottom burnt his knee, and he
jerked, bringing the burning wax-stick
across the back of his left hand. Then
he jumped up and hOwled, dropping the
can, which emptied a spoonful of boil
! ing preserves into his slipper. This
made him frantic, and he went dancing
about the kitchen like an inebriated
dervish, waving the burning wax, until
a drop took him on the nose. In his
agony he kicked the offending can
through the window, spattering its con-
tents over the dog, who rushed into the
street bowling, and raised the alarm of
mad dog, that occupied the attention of
all the people within three squares.
+ Then he submitted to be laid upon
the sofa and plastered with flour and
sweet oil until he looked like badly
repaired scare-crow.
He is now willing to take an affidavit
the size of a barn-doOr that he will
hereafter let women be just as awkward
as they choose.

DraytOn Hall, on the Ashley, South Car


The Ashley River, or "up the Ash
ley,n was once the scene of great mag
niticence, the residences and the ways
of living being modelled upon those of
the English nobility, from whom, in
many instances, the planters were de-
scended. This style of living was even
more liberal than its English prototype,
owing to the warm climate-which al
most necessarily promoted Incidence
and consequent lavishness-to the rich
lands, and especially to the number of
slaves employed, making each estate
patriarchal in it's administration, gov
ernment, and system of supplies.
Drayton Hall, the only one of these
old homes now remaining, was built in
174O by Thomas Drayton, ESQ.,, and
named after the family residence, Dray-
ton Hall, Northamptonshire, England;
its cost at that early period being ninety
thousand dollars. 1t is built of brick,
the columns of Portland marble, and
much of the finer material having been
imported from England. Within, the
stairway, the mantels, and the wainscot,
which extends in quaint fashion, from
floor to ceiling, are of solid mahogany,
paneled and elaborately carved, the
wainscOt at later period having been
painted over, probably on account Of
the daily oiling and polishing which
old-time ideas of shining mahogany re-
quired. Over the mantels are frames
set in the wainscot for pictures or coats
of arms, the fire-places are adorned
with colored tiles, and the size of the
rooms, together with the great kitchens
and ovens below, take one back to the
old baronial days in England, when
size was a criterion of grandeur, and
everything belonging to great families
was great also, from the breadth of their
apartments to the bulk of their four
horse coaches. In one of the cellars are
! to be seen a number of marble columns
! lying on the ground, just as they came
| from England. These columns have
given rise to the story that the old man
sion was never entirely finished; but
this is an error, the columns having
been intended, not for the house, but for
a gateway outside. The Drayton fam
! lily occupied the Hall for number of
years. Many personsin Charleston re-
member the stories told by their fathers
and mothers of the dinner-parties and
other entertainments given at Drayton
! Hall, when carpets were laid down over
| the broad flights of steps at both en-
frances and out to the carriage ways,
that the ladies might alight and enter
without endangering the satin Of their
robes.
CORVALLIS occupied DraytOn Hall as
his headquarters during portions of the
years 1850 and 1871, appointing receiv-
ers for the estate, and dOling out rations
of provisions daily to those of the fam
! lily who had remained at home. The
! letters "K. W." are still to be seen cut
into one of the bricks by German SOL
dier-his way of spelling his command
er's name.-COnStdnce f. WOolson, in
HdrpeT'S Magazine for December.

CURSED TO REsT.-At last the grave
of poor GuibOrd is allowed to rest undis-
turbed, but not till it has been cursed
by the priest. Little recks Guibord of
the curses of the priest now. He has
passed beyond their power to harm him
in body or spirit. Six years ago he
died. For six years there has been a
war over the disposal of his ashes. An
appeal to the highest court of the Brit
ish empire was won by the dead man,
and he came back to London to lie
down in his own tomb. But the relig-
ious fanatics would not yet give up the
struggle, and it became necessary to
use the military arm of the government
to carry into effect the decree of the
court. And the frenzy of the ignorant
fanatics was such that it was considered
unsafe even to trust the body to the en-
brace Of mother earth, as it would be
torn away and rent in pieces as soon as
the place should be unguarded. So an
immense sarcophagus of solid stone was
hewn out, in which the remains might
be placed, and sealed with another
stone too heavy to be removed by many
men. Hydraulic cement makes the two
immense stones one, in the center of
which, safe alike from the curses of the
church and the fury of the mob, will lie
till the last trump shall sound, the re-
mains Of man who, though unknown
to fame while he moved among his fell
lows, made more stir in the world after
his death than most do while living.
