A ND for aale, n let of eMj„ n I ' l .MF5 800 W & Sept39 > * D0B .8g^- Beginning at the Bight Had. AU Greenville knew that WiU Norton and Kate Sedley were going to marry—indeed, the parties most interested made no secret of the matter; for months, piles of snowy linen had been steadily growing beneath Kate’s nimtile fingers, and as for Will, he was equally busy. And, for a marvel, most people eeemed to bo satisfied, and agreed in saying what a good match it was and what a fine couple they wonld make. Kate was so neat and indnstrious; not strictly beautiful, but with that natural love liness that youth, health, and a sweet and cheerful temper giro to every woman. And WlU'was a steady, sensible young man, with a stoat heart and broad shoulders, with which to push his way in the world. They both brought into this mutual partner ship, together with the wealth of loving hearts and strong, hopeful hands, a little of worldly gear. Will’s consisted of a new and pretty cottage, every stick of which was laid with his own bands—for he was a house carpenter— and every room constructed with an eye to tho comfort and convenience of its expected mis tress. Kate’s dowry consisted of a few hun dred dollars, left her by an uncle, and which was to be hersat-thaageof eighteen nr, on the nve of her marriage. , Kate thought tbe best use to pat the money to would bo to furnish the house, and so go at once to housekeeping, and Will agreed with her. tif f.X'l lei Awl WO A Then came the all-important subject of se lections; for Kate had only a certain amount, and-was anxious to lay it ont to the best ad vantage. She had neither mother nor sister, but fortunately Aunt Sarah, a kind hearted sensible woman, with no little experience in such matters, was on her annual visit to her brother’s house, and she determined to avail herself of her counsel and assistance. The old lady had been but a few days in the house, but her sharp, kindly eyes had-been sufficiently observing; so she was not at all surprised when her niece said, with a alight blush, lu ,3aJn • ‘I am going to be married next month, aunty!’ 4 - * So I judged, from the appearance of things, «dy dear. And, unless my old oyes deceive mo, ’. you will have a goodhuaband.’ 1 Will is one of the best and kindest of men,’ returned Kate, with a pleased and happy smile. ‘I only wish he was sure of as good a wife. You know the money Uncle Eli left me f Will has built a beautiful little oottage, and I think of famishing it, so that then we can go directly to housekeeping. And, as I shall have to bay * Agood many things, I shoald like your advice * in selecting and arranging them. ‘I think your plan a very good one, niece, ' and shall be glad to give yon any assistance in my power. It will be less expensive than boarding, besides being much pleasanter. The next day Kate showed her aunt over to the bouse, which had just been painted, pa pered and blinded. The lower story contain-; ed four rooms,—parlor, sitting-room, kitchen and wash room,—and above, three chambers, They looked very pleasant and convenient, and Aunt Sarah duly admired them, to Kate’s satisfaction. * I shall have enough to furnish it very nioe- ly,’ she said, * and shall take so much pleasure in arranging and selecting it.* * Yon will have enough to make you very comfortable, my dear,’ returned Aunt Sarah * bat you must not count ou spending a great deal for mere outside show.’ * Oh no, aunt, I intend to do with things that are plain and inexpensive, until we can afford to have better. I think we will go to Brown 1 first. I saw some nice carpeting and curtains there, that will be snch a nlee match for the parlor and paper, and very reasonable they are, too.’ m .no <u As thoy were walking along. Aunt Sarah suggested that before purchasing she make an inventory of what she intended to get together with the price. To this Kate agreed, though quite confident that she had ample means to carry ont the plan she laid down. So Kate began to select furniture; first tor tbe parlor, then the sitting-room then for tho parlor chamber, jotting down the price of each article. They then went to dinner. Aunt Sarah bad promised to make ont a list of what kitchen farnitnre she wonld need, and after dinuer she sat down to rede^h it. In the meantime Kate, at her suggestion, began to add np the long row of figures that had been the result of her morning’s work. Her cheeks flushed as she proceeded, and the result seem ed very unsatisfactory, for eho went over twice. Aunt Sarah noticed her perplexity. ‘ How much will yon have left for your kitch en furniture ?’ she inquired. ‘Three dollars and. fifty cents!’ Tbe old Vutj smiled. ‘ Yon Rill have enough to get a conple of tin piates and a half dozen knives and forks.’ ‘ I don’t understand it. I thought that had aune enoogh-to furnish the house comfor tably.’ ‘So yoshave, my dear; but In your selection yon have had tbo eye more to show than to oomfort.. ’J thought then I would let you take your ow'd Way, bat I knew very well where would terminate, for yon did not begin at the right end.’ <t f - 7 * I don’t know what yon mean, annt.’ ‘ Why, yon should have begun with tho kitcheo, «nd time have secured the things that you must have. Then, if there is any thing left for tbe parlor, it ooold be easily got.’ Kate looked aghast at the list of articles that was handed her. * Shall I need all thosejthlngs, anntt »If you wish to do your work well and eco nomically, you can not got £igng c Tj|ihxle8s pever stint the kitchen and make a show *- tho partor.’ ‘•f’". •• *y-‘' V ‘ I don’t see that I shallhavD any thing left Bat then it will look so odd; so different from I what other people do.

Five yeats later, Mr. Weston^ mortgaged house was sold under the hammer, and all his fine farnitnre with is. Kate has now a very prettily furnished par lor, and enjoys it none the lees that none of its adornments have been purchased at the expense of the happiness of home and the comforts of life. Rich bnt Sensible. Nothing in practical wisdom is more fiuniiiar Americans than that a man’s hands are Ms fortune, and that there is no patrimony better than a good trade. Money, however, some times turns people’s heads so that they forget this: . ■iUiriTtr.J .11 JX The late Col. Colt was himself a practical mechanic. By his will he left to his nephew an immense fortune. At the time of Mr. Colt’s death, the nephew was learning his trado in bis uncle’s shop, working diligently in his overalls by day, subject to the same rules as other apprentices. On his uncle’s death he became a millionaire; bnt, choosing a guardian to manage his prop erty, bo continued his labor and served his ap prenticeship. Now, as he walks the rooms of his fine house, or drives handsome and costly toams, he has tho consciousness that if his rich es take to themselves wings and fly away, he famished with tbe means of getting an hon est livelihood, and may make a fortune for him seif He was a greasy mechanic, and is not asham ed of it. Labor and its accompanying dirt are not dishonorable nor degrading; laziness and its almost neoessary evils are disgusting and destroying. Dirty bands and a sense of independence are to be preferred to kid gloves and a con sciousness of being a mere drone in the human hive. Tools met from neglect,- wear out from use is beneficial.

A letter from Jerusalem, published in the I Journal Official, gives the following account of remarkable archmOlogical discovery made by M. Clermont Gannoau, dragoman to the Con sulate of France in that city. The object, is a great block of basalt found to tho eastward I of the Dead Sea, in the territory of the anciont I Moabites. Upon this block ie engraved an in scription some thirty lines in length, in Phoeni cian characters, commencing with these words: I, Mesa, Son of Cbamos.” Mesa was a Mo-1 abitisb King, who is mentioned in the Bible, and cotemporary with the prophet Elisha, with I Johoeaphat, King of Judea,' aud Ahab, Ocho- zlas and Joram, Kings of Israel. The third and fourth chapters of the Second Book of Kings give a detailed recital of tbe campaign undertaken in concert by Joram and Jehosa-1 phat against Mesa, King of Moab. Tbe in scription upon the stone also refers to the strug-1 gloof Mesa against the King of Israel, and enumerates the towns bnilt and the temples erected by Mesa, and dedicated by him to the | national deity of the Moabites—Chamoe. “The age of this mohament is determined I by the agreement of its statement with Jewish history; it dates nine centuries before' the Christian era and nearly a century later than tbe reign of Solomon. It ta nearly two centu ries earlier than the famous sarcophagus of Echmonnazar, King of Sidon. The Phoenician characters of the inscription present some ar- chalo features not to be found in the same de gree iu any of tho Phoenician monuments hith- It erto known. Tho inscription, however, is de cipherable with almost absolute certainty, as each word is separated by a point, and all tho sentcuces aro divided by vertical lines. Tho lauguago is, with somo slight orthographic va riations, puro Hebrew. This valuable inscrip tion, which enables us to bring a document co- temporary with tho events to which it refers into relation with tho historical recitals of the I Bible, has been forwarded by M. Clermont Ganncau to the Academio des Inscriptions, to-1 gether with a dissertation which will bo imme- J diatoly published.” ■ ■ Tho Southern Home, Gen. D. H. Hill’s now paper, in commenting upon President Grant’s declaration to a Virginia delegation; “That you want manufactures more than chivalry,” reviews the past history of tho South and com pares it with that of the North, and considers carefully whether tho “ chivalry of tho South I’ has dwarfed her intellect, impaired her man hood or diminished her resources,” under the three separate heads. ► *‘ ^■HB Under tho second head, in defending tho manhood of tho South, tho Southern Home says: “That in tho first great rebellion, tho army of tho United States was commanded by a Southern born man. Jn tho war of 1812, An drew Jackson, of Mecklenburg, North Carolina, gained tho most laurels and inflicted tho hea viest blows upon the enemy.
