1t is not to sweep The house and
make the beds aud darn The socks,

man wants a wife.
II this is all be wants, hired ser
wants can do that cheaper than a
wife.
If this is all, when a young mar
calls to { a young lady, send him
into the pantry to taste the bread
and cakes that she has made or send
him to see the needle work and bed
making, or put a broom in her hands
and send him to witness its use.
Such things are important, and
the wise young man will quietly
look after them.
But what the true man mos
wants OF a wife is her companion
ship, sympathy, and love.
The way of life has many dreary
places 10 il, and man needs a com

Sunday his dwelling was in great dan

bis family had retired, he was sudden
" awakened by a fame of fire just at
the foot of his bed shooting up to the
ceiling. Mrs. Brown had &c usual
placed her and her childrens c-~.---ns
on chair at the foot of the bed, be-
fore retiring, and it is supposed a
spark of fire must have gotten among
them. When NJ. Brown saw the
fame he sprang from bed and showed
the chair and clothing into the ire,
place, and thus saved lis house, bnt
the clothing and chair were burned
up. 1t was quite an unfortunate oc-
currence. Mr.. Brown has the SYM
pathy of the community in his losses.

TOO MUCH SPIRITS.

OF Late a great many Clarendon
men have been going to Charleston.
Railroad fare was very low, other
friends were going, and they thought
they too would go to the city to spend
a part of their money. In this large
number of course there were some
ereenhorns. But the greenhorns,
as far as we can learn, generally Kept
quiet, with the exception of few, on
one of whom we heard this tale told:
s.You may think George ". Williams
or Andrew Simonds may be the rich-
est person in Charleston, but he is not;
old man Co is certainly the richest
one there, for he is member OF near
" every firm in the city"
But of these greenhorns it is not
our purpose to write. We have bet
ter and a true tale, and on better game.
Among these visitors to the beautiful
city by the sea, were two Of our most
substantial and best known citizens.
They are both strict church members,
and before this not word has been
brought against them. But they
painted the town red when in Charles
ton. The first one went to a whole
sale house to lay in his years pro-
visions He bought all the necessa-
ries of life, and then an evil spirit
seized him, and he must needs buy
spirits, too. The painting then began.
We do not know how much he bought
but when he went to the depot tc
haul his freight he found, in addition
to -four, bacon, etc, several jugs and
demijohns, and an empty barrel o:
which he knew nothing, all shippec
by this grocery house! He remem
bered after leaving this house goine
to King Street, and stopping at
shooting gallery, where a great man,
persons were shooting parlor riff
but were unable to bit the mark. Gu
worthy friend took matters in his OWL
hand, and told the proprietor OF tn.
gallery that he could hit the mari
every time. He was told to take tn
rife; and until he missed twice, b
would have to pay nothing 10 shoot
And our friend did it. Re@arkin;
; that any Santee hunter could hit tha
mark with one eye shut, he bega
shooting, and to the astonishment c
!. the proprietor and the admiration {
, the spectators, he never missed tn
the mark. After a while, however, b
wearied OF this, and to the gratihce
o ticn Of the shooting gallery man b
n left to continue his painting the cit
g red. We will not follow him fl he
5. in his course. Our other frienu's &
|, reer was similar in refeaelce to tt
q spirits, only the jugs and demijohn

A Bar Room Drug Store.
T Columbia Register.

MARION, S. c., Feb. 11.-Our quiet
little town has of late been almost up
set by internal convulsions in the ma
ture of frauds in the town election,
and again by the indictment of one
OF the druggists for selling whiskey
without a license.
To-day the latter case came to a
head, was tried, and the offending
member convicted and fined.
By her charter Marion must be a
"dry town. for twenty years, and to
her credit, it can be said that her peo-
pie are determined to live under and
By that law, though a small element
are striving to bring the old curse up
on her again.
On the 11th of January last, a new
drug store was opened in Marion,
despite the fact that for town of the
magnitude of this one, where there
We're already three established stores
of that nature, with an aggregation OF
only about l,500 or 1000 people from
whom to draw their support.
This new firm opened out in the
name of DR.. E. L. Brown, graduate,
holding a diploma from the Charles
ton Medical College, and S. G. White
heart, the proprietor, some years back,
of bar-room.
From the beginning the firm was
looked upon with suspicion, from the
fact that already competition was in
that line SO sharp. That the illicit
sale of whiskey was carried on was
morally certain, but until Monday
(salesday) no convicting evidence
could be gathered. On that day DR..
Brown was arrested and held for trial
to-day. The testimony shows that
in so short time as one month, his
store has filed and filed 22S prescrip-
tons, out of which four are shown to
have been for medicine, and the re-
naming 224 for wbiskey.
A jury was demanded, which was
, granted by the Council, and within
five minutes aftcrsthe charge from the
Interdant, a verdict Of guilty was rem,
{ dered. DR.. Brown was sentenced tc
{ pay a fine of one hundred dollars Of
, to serve thirty days in jal-the ut
, most penalty allowed by law. The
: town was represented by G. A. Woods
; and the defendant by Gen. ". "
!, Harllee and Junius II. Evans.
r The verdict has an almost univers
: al approval. The present Town Coun
3 Gil are men in every way suitable TO
5 the position to which they have bee,
