Thev cannot nav n. 1112 out visit, they cannot receive a friend, they can- not carry on me uany intercourse of the family, without suspecting that some offence is designed. Thev are as tonehv n l.nir. triggers. If they meet an acquaintance on the street who happens to be preoccupied wun uusiness, mey attribute Ins abstraction to some motive personal to themselves, and take umbrage accordingly. They lay on others the cause of their own irritability. A fit of indigestion makes them see imper tinence in-everybody they come in contact with. Innocent persons, who never dream ed of giving offence, are astonished to find some uufortunate word or some momentary taciturnity mistaken for an insult. The greatest rush ever witnessed IN TUB CITY OF C1IARL0TTK IS AT E. Shrier's Temple of Fashion, To examine his large and fine Stock of Custom-made Clothing, Which has just arrived from New York, made in the very latest styles for the FALL AND WINTER TRADE of 1872. His stock consists of Men's, Youth's and Boy's Clothing ; also, a large and fine stock of Gent's Furnishing Goods, Such as Balioue finest white Shirts, Under-Shirts, Drawers, Socks, Suspenders, Scarfs, lies, liows and Gloves of all kinds. His stock of HATS are of the finest and latest- styles. His stock of Linen and Paper COLLARS are unenualed. His stock of UMBRELLAS are of a new make, such as combination lock, walking cane, aquapella, alpacca, &c, &c. Don't fail to give him a call and examine his Stock before purchasing elsewhere, as he is sure you will find it to your own iuterest, as you can save from twcntj--fi-o to thirty-five per cent by so doing.

Tho Countess Dash, whose death has been recently announced, had "been through a good deal," and at times. found herself in vnrv sorrv circumstances. Jn one occa- sion the gathering clouds seemed so gloomy and the friends so few that the poor lady's heart completely failed her, and she deter mined to put an end to a career so replete with misfortune. Having heard that per sons throwinjf "themselves off a bridge were liable to be picked up again if an expert swimmer happened to be at hand and h.n- ing no desire to be thus fished up she re- ved to go down to the very brink of the Seine, at a point where the river deepened Gradually, and there drown herself corafort- ably, unmolested by any Denevoioni att-en- "firm.

The gentleman began by stating that he should doubtless find many of his audience as incredulous in regard to the marvellous veracity questioned, he would proceed with an attempt at their description, promising beforehand to soeak of nothing save such , as he himself witnessed. Leaving Boteler a ranch, the last evidence of civilization on the route, we proceed up the lellowstone through scenery well calculated to attract the eye, were it not for the excitement with wnicn we aniicipaie wuai is yti. wyu Leaving the main river we strike across to Gardiner's River, ami a short distauce above its mouth wo suddenly are gratified with a sight of extraordinary beauty and of a character such as probably can be found no where else on earth. Here is a valley of innumerable hot springs but this is not all. In every direction, presenting an arrangement of the most extraordinary Lp.antv. wherever these Hot Sprinc exist j j or have existed, we behold what the speak I r describes as "trozen cascades ioniza tions caused by the deposits of the sedi ment which the water holds in solution. Before us is the wonderful White Mountain looking like a succession of waterfalls and cascades of all sizes and varieties whose waters had been suddenly stilled, or petrified, by the hand of an invisible and illimitable Power. Unwillingly leaving this extraordinary scene, to see which is worth a journey ot many hardships and hundreds ot miles, we maKe ior me i eiiowsione.

We have not the space to pause here with the speaker. Strolling from camP view oi with him, we are gratihed with a our first mud volcano spitting, sputtering and fussing. Soon the beauti ful milk-white foam of the Upper or lesser Falls entrances the eye. Then across green meadows, fertile lands, among beds of moun tain flowers, we make our way to the Yel lowstone Lake. Time would fail us were we to try, as did the eloquent lecturer, a description of the extraordinary scenes around the lake.

Said a vouncr husband whose business speculations were unsuccessful, MMv wife silver tea-set, the bridle gift of a rich uncle, doomed me to financial ruin. It involved a hundred unexpected expanses, which, in trying to meet, have made rap the uan ruptlatn." His experience i the expe rience of many others, who, les wise, ao not know what is the goblin of the house, working its destruction. A sagacious father of great wealth exceedingly mortified his daughter by ordering it to be printed on her wedding cards, "No presents except those adapted to an income of 1,000. Said he, ou must not expect to begin life iu the style I am able, by many years of labor, to indulge; and I kuow of noth ing which will tempt you to try it more than the well-intentioned but penucioua gifts of rich friend." Such advice to a daughter was timely. If other parent would follow the same plan, many younj men would be spared years of incessant toil and anxiety ; they would not find them selves on the downward road, because their wives had worn all of their salary, or ex pended it on the appointments of the homo. The fate of the poor man who lound a linch pin, and felt himself obliged to make a car riage to tit it,, is the fate of the husband who finds his bride in the possession o gold and silver valuables, and no largo in come to support theowuer gold and Bilvor style. Husband and Wife. Harmony in the married state is the very first object to bo aimed at. Nothing can preserve affection uninterrupted but a firm resolution never to differ in will, and a de termination in each to consider the lovo of the other as of more value than any object whatever on which a wish has been fixed. How light, in fact, is the sacrifice ot any other wish weighed against the affection of one with whom we are to pass our life! And though opposition in a single instanco will hardly of itself produce alienation, yet every one hashis pouch into which all these oppositions ate put, and while that is filling, the alienation is lnsensioiy going on, ana when filled is complete.

What is the use of rectifying him if the thing bo unimport ant? And if important, let it pass lor tho present, and wait a softer moment and more oncuiatorv occasion ot revising the subject together. It is wonderful how many per sons are rendered unhappy by inattention to the rules of prudence. Thomas Jefferson. Be a Man. The following good advise is clipped from an excellent little paper called the Working Man: "Foolish spending is the father of poverty. Do not be ashamed of hard work. Work "for the best salary or wages you can get, but work for half price rather than bo idle. Bo your own master, and do not let society or fashion swallow up your individ uality hat, coat and boots. Do not cat up or wear out all that you earn. Compel your selfish body to spare something for profits saved. Be stingy to your own appetite, but merciful to ot hers' necessities. See that you are proud, too. Let your pride be of the right kind. Be too proud to be lazy; too proud to give up without conquering every difficulty; too proud to wear a coat you can not afford to buy ; too proud to be in com pany that you cannot keep up within ex penses; too proud to be stingy. . i Hanoep.

The old man and Craton and Avery were arrested upon this confession, and are now in jail at Rut herford ton. The Rtafe proposed to make a witness of Baynard, but Gov. Cald well refused to further respite, and he paid the penalty of his crime on Friday the 16th of October. There was a curious instance of tam pering with a witness and the results there of in a recent murder case in Kentucky. A man named lloberts was accused of killing one Coates, and was committed for trial without bail on the testimony of a sister of the deceased. After indictment Roberts was released on bail, and immediately com menced to pay his addresses to the danger ous witness, and before the trial came on had married her. He was acquitted for want of evidence. . m 1 1 1 m Largest Vineyard. The largest vine yard in the Southern States is said to be one nearFayetteville,N.
