Vet purer than the robe she wears;
White flowers she holds, the fairest

Loves hue upon that gentle cheek,
Loves light beneath that iong:f.;c

Revisiting the Old Scenes.
Our beloved friend, Joe Bouknight,
who has sold his broad acres or Saluda,
and gone to live in Charleston, is once
more among rs. Indeed Joe thinks that
he will have to come back at least every
two months. And this speaks well for
his heart. He has been hunting the deer
IN Cooper River, and seriously Thinks
of going into the rice culture. From the
Saluda to the Cooper! And from cotton
to rice So runs the world away!
Artistic Cake Decoration.
Those huge and royal cakes at the
acknowledgement wedding, decorated
with such artistic taste and such a lavish
hand. They were the work of Mrs.
Robt. II. Minis. And never, before the
war or since the war. in this country or
in lands beyond the sea, have we seen
ANYTHING at all to equal them!
Brave, Bright and Beautiful.
AS we write, at III A. NJ. on Tuesday,
our whole town, especially Il public
square, presents a scene that is brave,
bright and beautiful. The Edgefield Ri
fes. in c9Aranks and full feather, are
roceiyfng and welcoming thsir guests,
the Hussars and the Rangers. The streets
are crowded with men and children,
while the piazzas along m ain street,
where the tilt is to take place, arc filled
with fair women-daintily arrayed-and
little girls that look like angels. A band
from Augusta is rending the air with
brassy melody, while high above all
sounds the shrill bugle calling the
knights to the fray. And bets run high
as to who will be the victors-whether
the old veteran Hussars or tho youthful
Rangers from out of the West. And to-
night the ball, where beauty and bravery
will exult together. 1t is clearly to be
seen that this Fest of the gallant Rifles
is going to prove a success full of grace
and glory.
a Welcome Accession.

son of the brave Capt. w. H. Norris, of
