Plow over others, for
the cultivation of both Cot
ton and Corn are many, but
only its loading merits: With four wings,
two small and two large, it can be converted
Into Seven different Plows, all of which are
very necessary for the cultivation of dif
ferent crops. And nnothor very important
feature is durability. A Plow completed
will lost a man from two to five years, accord
ing to the soil he cultivates, and will only
cost about Three Dollars to put it up. An
Agency will soon be established in Romo,

The Origin of “Paul Pry.”
The origin of Mr. People’s comedy of
“Paul Pry,” ia not perhaps, generally
known. Its construction was sugges
ted to the author in the following man
ner: v
An old lady living in a narrow street
had passed so much of her time in watch
ing the affairs of her neighbors, that
she acquired tbe power of distinguish
ing the sound of every knock within
hearing. She fell ill, and was confined
to her bed. Unable to observe in per
son what was going on without she sta
tioned her maid at the window as a
substitute for the performance of that
duty.
“Betty, what are you thinking about?
Don’t you hear a double knookatNo.9?
Who is it,?’’
“The first floor lodger, ma’am.”
“Betty, Betty? I declare I must
give you warning. Why don’t you
tell mo what that kiibck is at No.

J;B. MURPHY
RESIDENT DENTIST,
R ESPECTFULLY informs his friends, and
the public generally, that ho continues
tho practice of DENT1STR Y in all its branch
es, and has fitted up an office, over the store
of McGuiro 4 Pinson, where he is prepared
to execute all operations appertaining to Den
tistry, in the most approved manner.
Ho would also oall the particular attention
of those in want of Artificial Work, to his su-
orior style of teeth, set on gold plate ; for
eauty, strength and lifo-like appeaeance,
they are not surpassed. As an impressionhas
been made that my prices for dental opera
tions aro higher than tho usual run of Den
tists, I beg leave to say that they are the same
as ohargea by Dentists at Augusta, Macon
and Savannah. For Artificial Work my char
ges are as follows:
Entire Sets Upper and Lower from$100 to $260
Half Sets, Upper or Lower, from 50 to 150
Temporary Sets, Upper and Lower, 25 each.
Partial Sets in proportion to the above.
As I am well posted insil the late improve
ments of the day, I feel confident that I can
meet the wants of ail who may need tho ser
vices of a Dentist, and if references are want
ed; as to their ntility in answering the purpo
ses of nature, I can give them in abundance,
from those who have tested my skill, for the
last fourteen years, in this, and adjoining
States.

A Phase of City Life.—A hearse
stands before your door, and a long
line of carriages is creeping slowly by,
one after another, behind it. Within
the carriages heads are bowed, and tears
are falling beneath sable veils. “One
of the neighbors,” quietly remarks a
bystander in answer to your query, and
passes on. “One of the neighbors.”—
You never notice the face ana form now
lying in that plumed and tasseled
hearse, behind those, tall black horses;
and yet, for months,* perhaps years, he
has passed and repassed your house ev
ery day, on his way to ana from his bus
iness. His joys and sorrows, hopes and
fears, whatever they might have been,
were nothing to you when he was liv
ing; they are no less so now that he is
dead. And yet you watch that hearse
as it creeps away with him, and the car
riages that follow with their grief-freight
ed burden, with a strange fascination,
and you say to yourself, “it will be just
so when I die. Somebody will say,
carelessly, ‘One of the neighbors;’ and
the ranks will close up again, and the
world will jog on as usual, and I shall
never be missed." And that is life in
the jostling city I Only a brick wall be
tween us and the breaking hearts
through whose sobbing and moaning
we slumber on so peacefully, and yet
the ooean itself could not wider divide
