CHARlEsTON's TRADE WITH
AFRICA.

1t gives US great pleasure to an
nounce. the gratifying fact that, as
one of the results Of the A=or sevent'
full trip, an order has been received
by I. H. Hall & Co., of Charleston,
for lumber, sashes, doors, blinds,
nails, and other material for the erec-
ton of number Of houses at Mon
rovia. This order was secured for
Charleston by our special cerespon-
dent, Mr.. a. B. Williams, who Ger
tainly lost no time in making known
the advantages of this city as the
shipping port for African trade.
Such material as is now to be sent
out to MonrovA has hitherto been
bought in England, and there is no
doubt that Charleston can supply it
more cheaply, while the cost OF ship
ment will be less. Messrs. Hall &
Co. have engaged freight room on The
-4=o,., which vessel, according to the
calculations or The Exodus Arsocia-
tion, may cross the bar any day, as
she wag ordered to remain no longer
than fifteen days at MonroEias;;gane as;a ner.
i, no reason ybyas5taP5difeel Ebgysass5Pdfels should not
easnsS saS an assortment OF samples
by the A-o, and in this way secure
a footheld in a new field. If the ae-
tion of The Neaos and Courier, in
sending Mr.. Williams to Liberia
shall cause the emigrants. in future
to be properly cared for, and shall.
ip addition, give to Charleston the
import and export trade Of the
"Black Republic" the work of The
Nea0s aad Courier will have been
richer in substantial advantages than
we could have ventured to hope.-I

The Hands That Can Make Good
Bread.
You may talk T. me of accomplished
girls,
ith'.hauds as white sthe liiy"i
And of melting blue eyes, and auburn

But think that decidedly silly.
But when any one mentions lady's
hands,
Tho question pops into my head.
Not of their beauty and golden bands.
But can they make good hretd
There are hands that arc skillful With
pencil and brush,
And can paint : landseapsorface, !;
That eau write sweet notes, and color
brhsh,
with ksossestest beauty sndgrsce.
Perhaps Won wiii call ms gluttonous
chprl,
But, tisy me, 1 prefer instead,
A matter-of-fkct and sensible girl,
With hands that can make good bread.
There are hands that lean play the piano
K with ease.

Can crochet and embroidsr, and si such
as these,
More wssshlesa than aAesal by far.

Like t3pre tha. can make good bread.
We have troubles enough in world like
this,
But one thing lessons it much
Brings household pea,,e. and domestic
bliss.
And that is good dinners, and such,
IF ever you get tired OF this worlds busy
strife,
And take notion to we'd,
Don't fail for your life to get a'wife 3
