The of a dandy Jack with a gold iis neck, a walking stick in his loncst tailor’s coat on his back, less skull, can never make up a father's house and a good asel, and the society of brothers their affections last, while > a young man arc lost in tbo ioneymooo. an Editor?—Why he’s an tio reads newspapers, writes ar subjcct, sets type, reads proof, tails, runs on errands, saws in the garden, talks to all who s blame- for a hundred things ’s bnsines shut hiß own, works to 10 p. m., helps people get rbo forget all about it after requently gets cheated out of ■nings.

The gen > wa» waiting upon her, discov ft, and, as the woman started to ;ht her and got the shoes away But she succeeded eventuaiiy in • escape. Store keepers will ep their eyes open, otherwise ;ing business may lift whatever ft after paying the rent and Bainbridge Argus.— This excellent journal which was stopped during tbo war, and on tha return of peace was resumed under the title of The Chart <£• Compass, has changed its name again to Bainbridge Argue. Wo congratulate our friend, Willis M. Russell, the proprietor, on this change. We think it better suited to tho times, and will, we hope, prove indeed an Argue, and be like its great mythological namesake, of which the poet observes : “This Argus doth o’er tho people's rights an eternal vigil kcop ; No soothing strain of Maria’s son shall lull his hundred eyes to sleep!” Our “prop.” used to have a hand in that office—“a finger in that pi”—once upon a time, and pleasant recollections of that fertile and hospitable region well np in his memory as ho glances over the pages of the Argue. Long may it wave and flourish, and continue its welcome visit to our sane* turn. An Undeserved Kiss.—A diffident bachelor of Hartford was, one evening, re cently, sitting in the balcony of his hotel, ruminating upon his loneliness, and enjoy ing the balmy spring breeze. The seat which he oocupied had been vacated but a short time before by the gentle husband of a loving wife, with whom the happy man had been chatting. In a few moments tho lady returned, and, mistaking the stranger for her husband, tenderly and passionately encircled his neck with her fair arms, and, giving him an affectionate kiss, remarked : “Come, darling, is it not time to retire ?” The relator of tho incident did not await the denouement.— Exchange. A friend, reading the above, had the cruelty to ask us to suppose that we were placed in that fix! and then had the au dacity to emphasise it with that exclama tion which is nearest represented, in print, by whew! We couldn’t comply —we couldn’t “suppose” for an instant—it made onr blood run cold, our flesh creep ; and— we really hope that no “loving wife” will mistake us for a married loan. Oh dear, no! We should “retire” before wo could allow the “darlings” to take that, liberty with us. Just let them try it. That's all. Got Scared.—A countrymen came into tho city on Wednesday to sell his batch of cucumbers and see the Fourth of July. Revalued the produce at four dol lars. At noon ho had not disposed of them, and when the national salute commenced firing he got frightened, thought the war had commenced again, sold his cucumbers for twenty-five conts, and made tracks for home as fast as his mule could loeomote. He could not stand the noise of the big guu3, and possibly thought the conscript officer would be around again soon.—At lanta Neut Era. Se De Kay.—This gentleman, well known to a number of our citizens as one of the editors of the Cuuetitutivnaliet, about the close of the war, and long known as one of the editors and subsequently war correspondent of the Louisville (Ky.) Courier, is now engaged in writing a his tory of the gallant Kentucky Infantry Brigade; and, through the columns of the Louisville Courier, calls upon his old com rades, and all whe know anything of the history of the said Brigade, to send to him such information as they may possess in reference to it. Wo commend his enter prise to the attention of all the friends of that glorious band of veterans, and ask its friends to comply with Mr. D. Kirke’s re quest as speedily as possible. Reduction op Telegraphic Charges. —The Southern Express Company have reduced their telegraphic rates one-half to all points on their lines. This is good nows for tho community, and a good move for the Company. We hope that a large in crease of business may compensate them for this timely reduction. We need more of this spirit; until we havo it, wo may man age to live on each other, but will never get rich.— Columbia S. C. Patriot. Musical Entertainment.
