The Abbeyi,,e Riges supper.

i Abbevilie has not been very jolly or merry
this Christmas, at least in n public way. Al
j most the only public entertainment given
was the hot supper given in behalf of our RI
/ tie Company, and u was rather poorly attend
| ed. A moro magnificent and suns pnlous sup
| per never was seen ipSpur town than the one
which the ladies OF A&berille had contributed
TO tie entertainment TIE Dleat table was
grooming under turkeys, roast pigs, hams and
their appctizing accomplishments. The cake
table was Ikea city confectionery stlow-win-
a,ow, itc chief ornament being q large cake
most beautifully designed with appropriate
military ornaments. We never saw a greater
profusion OF sweetables. The fruit, candy,
! and flower table was u pretty sight; and the
toystcr-table was bountifully supplied The
supper truly YES plente0us, but the part&kers
thereof were few. There was enough on the
tables to have supplied five hundred people
4 with q hearty supper and we had expected
! to see some hundreds at the entertainment
d The apathy shown by SO MANY OF our towns
4 peopi3 on this occasion Is greatly to beregret-
lied, We doubt if ene-half of the Rif1emcn
themselves xere present. AS a consequence
the proceeds were 6nsaequateiy small. Sew.
| erai Of the members of the Band formed
1t themselves in1e ap oncbestrSl band. and play
! cd some eautifa airs which eniivened what
4 could otherwise have been a very dull even.
1 ing. One source OF amusement was the post
office. We wish the AEbeviile Rifles much
i greater success when next they give such an
entertainment

Charming Letters,

At the Rifle Club Entertainment last Fri
day night At the Fenlale Academy there wa,
q post office over which Postmaster Genera!
Key had no control, but which was presided
over by as fair Il pOstmiStresS as ever deliver.
ed Al letter. Early in the evening we were in
formed that there was Il letter in the office iol
us, but which epistle was then held for the
poStagc-2J cents. We forked over the rcquiS.
tie quarter, and received a white envelope IN
which was enclosed a half sheet of note pa
per on which were inscribed, in q loud
hand" the following eXquiSltcly beautiful
and original lines:
ar you love me, like ! love you,
No knife can cut our love in too
TSigncd.l Your Darling
This in the chirography of a gentleman was
truly touching and could not fail TO move
the coolest masculine heart. The writing Of
letters shows the intellectual culture OF the
author, as well as the condition of the heaTt.
We think every entertainment should have
Il post Office, where lov6-!cttcrS may be the
delightful harbingcrS OF that happiness
which lnortals terrestrial dream Is in store for
them in the sweet by and by" Later in the
evening the startling Information reached us
that there was another letter for MS in that
post office, which like the rirs., was held for
postage. AS Il lamb to the slaughter, c
marched up to the delivery door, and deposit
ed the requisite moan OF silver. receiving
in return, the following very beautiful lines,
which not only reflect the tender sentiment
OF the ycarning heart. but also exhibit tn"
true poetic tire. coupled with originality and
the eternal fitness of things:
= "Youa are forty. II you arc day,
M Yet no husband comes your way;
II is too bad that such q face
Should live alone in such q place.
Take in your sign, and get thee West,
There aged maidcns thrive the best:
For liOOSicrS, when they seek q pal,
Are all content if she's a GAL
This post Office was very different from
Postmaster General Keys Offices in that II
pa~id'cNpenscS. Between seven and eight dol.
lars were received, while the expenses were
very light. as nO Congressional documents
or other matter Of great weight WAS trans
mitted through this postal route.

That fine white COW OF ours which has often
stood in the shade Of the big oak tree in front
of the Aston House. has been hauled TO her
last resting place lover the hills" leaving an
orphan only two days old. She was an amia-
BILE COW and never kicked over the large
bucket which she generously filled twice q
day with the richest and sweetest l .'lk.s She
was also remarkable for her honesty, and
POSSESSED u sciupulous regard for frccdmen's
crops! I'm never entering their "swcet fields OF
living green no matter how low the fence
may have been. She was industrious, and
never loafed on the Public Square. ard no ir

head. She never stole apples out Of the real
gate of 4 North Carolina apple wagon, oil
robbed Il buggy of tho eatables that may have
been stored ava beneath the seat.
