We pnblsh this week a short notice

whose.means are hot ample, W who

The first sweet potatoes of the sea

Dennis Ponder, a well to do thrifty
and honest freedmao, living in Ways

some of our planters at the next Fair,
if thoy don’t look sharp.
Who can beat this?—We have

tion tho aoqg “God Ibless Robert Lee,”
a$ having; fairly; brought dawn the
house, and touching a chord that al
ways vibrates in a Southerner’s breast
when the name of Lee is spoken. As
a happjtprelode to this titoce. a hand
some steel engraving, of 4ho peerless
Christian hero, around which loving
fingers had twined fresh garlands, was
brought on the stage, and placed in
full view of the audience; to many of
whom his care touched brow, wore a
familiar look.
Much as the musical part of the
programme was enjoyed, well,
artistically, and we might say al
most faultlessly carried out and ex
ecuted; yet every one looked forward
to the roaring farce, of “Slasher and
Crasher,” that was to clos.e the enter
tainment. At the cast of characters in
this laughable farce,had been left blank,
every one was on the qui vice to know
who was taking off the various parts.
We have never seen apiece produced
by amateurs better. Some of the par
ties would have reflected credit on
themselves, upon any boards. We will
not be so ungallant, as to fail to notice
Misses Diuah and Rosa Blowhard.
Miss Rosa was the modest, demure,
yet loving thing, that doated on the fas
cinating Crasher, through evil as well
as good report; whilst Miss Diuah in
tent on a husband, kept sleadity in
view,, thp •deyotod Slasher who was
finally led to the altar (we presume
from the finale) by this gentle female,
with the benediction of old Blowhard,
Bless you my children.”
The pieeo was a perfect success, and
kept the audieuce convulsed with
laughter throughout its rendition. To
the ladies*who conceived the affair,
and worked it out to a successful ter
mination, are due great credit; and it
is a matter of regret that the weather
w^aTnot mfge propitious, If such haft
been the rase, we. are asssured thaV
the hall would have been filled to its
utmost capacity.
We trust that the parties may be in
duced to repeat the performance, for
the reason assigned, that many were
deterred from goiug out owing to the
threatening aspect of the evening; be-,
sides feeling assured, that the great
majority who were present on Wednes
day night wonld like to ice it repeated
To Mr. Roscnfeld of Rainbridge
whoso kindly gave several days of his
time to study and rehearsals, and
who cheerfully stayed-over another
day when it was decided to postpono
the concert; to him oar citizens who
enjoyed the rare treat on the evening
of the 23rd, are under many obliga
tions. Whether trilling the notes of
an opera, giving- the delicate touch of
the artist to the ivory keys, or as the
rapturous and sanguine Slasher, he
was alike au fait
At tho conclusion of the farce, it
was announced that all those who
were fond of tripping the light fantas
tic, would have an opportunity of do’
ingso. The hall was soon clcarcd.when
under the inspiring influence of the
excellent music of the Moore Bro’s,
nimble feet were soon in motion, gal-
lant forms, gentlr .nqgportjogj bgelv
maidens, went whirling away to the
bewitching strains of a waltz; and
“all went merry as a marriage bell.”

Book Notice.—Those who have
read “Pelham,” “My Novel,” “The
Ca2tfon3,”4^.wj)l.no^oubt hail with
joy, the advent of another work tram
the same gifted author. For depth of
thought, Bulwer stands, perhaps, unj
rivaled, in the loug list of English
novelists, while his delineation of char
acter is as graphic as that of Sir Wal-
tcwflCotfj. and at the same time all*his
ideas-are draped in the most beautiful
verbiage. In “Leila,” the great au
thor does not di-appoiul us. Tin 1
scene is laid in the troublous times
wficn Ferdinand aud Isabella
dcavoriug to free spain from the pres
ence of the Moors, and is full of thrill
ing scenes aud ph asing romances.—
The pure honesty of the heroine l.ei
la, stands forth in beautiful contrast
with the dark glootny spirit of her fa
ther Alraamcn, the Jew, while the
gentle Christianity ol Queen Isabella
rebukes the stein bigotry of the inquis
itor Torqueniada. The interest
well sustained to the end, and while
we mourn over Ihe tragical death of
the lovely heroine, wc bigh with regret
to think that the hand that penned the
book, is cold in denili. The moral re
futes the idea that mau’s conscience
is a sufficient guide to him; and to one
who wishes to sec ure a readable, in
structive book, and to be posted in the
best of the light literature cf the da v.
copy, of this beautiful tale is indispen
sable. The get up/is excellent and
docs great credit to tho American
publishers. In a careful perusal we
failod to observe a single typographic
al error.
