A Marrow Escape.

1t is truly wonderful how inscru>
tably the mercies of Providence are
dispensed. Sometimes-we know
not why-we are thrown into
danger from which no human aid
can rescue Us, nor the deepest
mortal forethought save us; but the
Divine Hand is extended to stay
our impetuous fall at the very mo-
ment which we regard as our last.
We wish to warn our friends Of one
particular danger, which was suggest
ed bv an occurrence which TRANSFERRED
in our city about four o'clock last Tues
day morning. We give the facts as
related to us: n young dispenser OF
medicine, ,flmiliarly called dob" for
short, WIS quietly resting Oh his viz
tuous couch under the protecting can
opy of the wings of Morpheus. y
bright little form with snowy pinionS,
resembling his Malinda Jane, tioated
through his imagination and called
him her drake" He opened his
"ruby lips" to di>gorge the love which
had for weeks been infaming his giz-
gard; but before he could articulate
the word "duck" huge rat thrust hi+
unwelcome proboscis into the Oriticc
thus opened in Bob's head, vainly
thinking in his haste that he had found
the home Of his ancestors. But for
tunately the hole closed up quickly
and clinched Mr.. Rats head, which
he resented by leaving the impression
of his front teeth on the lower flap o
Bob's mouth. Although badly wound
ed, and compelled to carry his moutl
done,up in Il rag and supported by
sling, he has the satisfaction Of know
ing that the rat did not 90 deel
enough to find out what he ate TO
supper.

IT'S necessary that every vocation
should be understood by those who
engage in their choice, and hence l
write in a suggestive way. The mer-
camille part of our town, contrary to
usage and discretion of all other towns
of my knowledge, have established by
pernicious cnoniving barter trade
with our country patrons that Is false
" colored to the sensible man, yet has
its alluring tendency; /. C., We have by
the course alluded to engaged for 3
long time in a trade with the planter
for his produce, allowing him the
outside price We can reasonably ex-
pect to realize for it for our goods at
lower price than we ought to cell them
for cash. Now the Objectionable fea-
ture is that if We as merchants are
willing t. buy the farmers products
and give him our goods at cash price
then he should be willing to be con-
tented if we allow him for his produce
Just what he would be willing to sci
them at for the cash. This is AZ
equitable principle Of business ant
nothing short is, and solonga We COLI
tiuue to so trade the farmer, acting
upon good judgment, will Away
have plenty of barter and no money
to pay us for our goods, and the ten
denc ruins beyond cavil.
