WANTED A WIFE
, We imagine the author of the following J
is rather hard to please, but we think if any
of our young lady readers will fill the bill
he will make her a good husband.
I want a wife, a Ant rate wife
A girl that' all my own,
To cook iaf meal and cheer my life.
With smiling word and tone.
I want a kind of apple girl,
Ripe, rosy-cheeked and sonnd ;
Whose tender feelings sorter qolrl
And tarn me all around.
- A girl with cheeks and holly-hocks ;
Idustrioua, kind and true.
That's mart enough to foot my socks.
And mend my clothes like new.
A girl that ne'er will pledge a vow
. T any chap bat me ;
. That's been brought up to milk a cow,
And have warm cakes for tea.
Like tatlow dips her eyes most be
As melting and as bright ;
They'll do to court by, you seo.
And save another light.
She mast be graceful as ths bell
f - Upon the lily found ;
And make such butter as will sell
For cents fifty a pound.
A very Bentimental poet, seeing the gam
bols of an ass-foal in a field, vowed that he
should like to send the little thing as a pre
sent to hisj dearest Matilda. ' Do," replied
one of his companions, " and tie a piece of
paper around its neck, bearing the motto :
4 When th;s you, see remember me.' "
" The "VYinvcrly novels were written to build
Ahbotsford; ' Jlasselas " to pay a mother's
.funeral expenses; the 44 Vicar of "Wakefield"
in the hope of discharging an unthrift's debt
Somebody has given utteranc to the
following scrap of philosophy, which if it
be not good is at least cool : 44 The. poor
man's purse may, be empty, but he has as
much-gold, in the sunset and silver in the
moon as anybody."
At Placerville, a Methodist minister went
to a tin shop to buy a blowing horn. ."Select
ing one, he asked the clerk whether it would
make a loud noise V 44 O, yes," said the.
clerk, 44 a h 11 of a noise ?" 44 Weir replied
tltq. minister, "as I want it to blow at camp
meeting, I don't think thatj kind of a noise
will suit," and walked off. j
A justice, better versed in law than in gos
pel, not long since married a couple in this
way : "Hold up your hands. You will
solemnly swear that you will faithfully per
form the duties of your office, jointly and
severally, acoi ding to your best skill and
judgment, so help you God. Fee one dollar."
Wise men say nothing in dangerous tims.
The lion called the sheep to ask her if liis
breath smelt ? She said "Aye," and he bit
off her head for a fool. He called the wolf
and asked him. He said 44 No," and he tore
him in pieces for a flatterer. At last he called
the fox and asked him. "Truly," said he, "I
have got a cold and cannot smell." T he fox
knew what lie was about.
I say, Jones, how is it your wife dresses so
magriificently, and yciu.always appear out of
your elbows ? Jonfcs (impressively and sig
nificantly,) 44 you sec, Thompson, my wife
dresses according to the Gazette of Fashion,
and I according to my Ledger."
A littlegirl, just past her fifth year, while
chatting about the beaux that visited two of
the sex in same house, of more mature age,
being asked, "What doyou mean by beaux,
Annie ?" replied, "Why I mean men that
have not got much senses.".
A gentleman was describing to Douglass
Jerrold the: story of his courtship and mar
ri age how" his wife had been brought up in a
Convent, and was on the point of taking the
veil, when his presence burst upon her en
raptured sight, and she acepted him as her
husband. Jerrold listened to tfie end of the
story and quietly remarked. 44 She simply
thought you better than ram."

Nearly every evil has its compensation.
If a man has but one foot he never treads on

Who is the greatest poulterer in Shake

A woman's tears arc generally more effec

a less powerful element than water.
The more a woman's waist is shaped like

It is singular fact that the ladies who know
how to preserve everything eslse, can't pre

done on the self-scaling principle. It is only

favorable opinion as to its merits. The plan of
yonr Digest, I regard as an excellent one, and I appre
ciate, very highly, the learning, skill, taste and accura

will be exceedingly convenient and useful, both to the
Bar and Bench, and I hope that Its patronage may be
equal to its deserts.

preme Court, say :
We have had, in use. ever since Its publication, last
Fall, your admirable Dioest of the decisions of the Su
preme Court of North Carolina, from the foundation of

ient and the abstracts accurate ; and we and the profes
sion are under many obligations to you. We regard it as
indispensable to the profession In this State. It should
be in the library of every Lawyer."

GENERAL ORDERS.
THE CAROLINAS
order from gen. sickles for the relief o
destitute-immediate collection of cer
tain debts prohibited.
IIdqr's Second Military District,
Charleston, S. C, April 11, 1867.
General Order No. 10. The general des
titution prevailing among the population of this
military district cannot be relieved without afford
ing means for the development of their industrial
resources. The nature and extent of the destitu
tion demand extraordinary measures. The peo
ple are borne down by a heavjp burden of debt, the
crops of grain and garden produce failed last year,
many families have been deprived of shelter, many
more need food and clothing, useful implements
and anxilliarics of husbandry are very scarce; the
laboring population in numerous localities are
threatened with starvation unless supplied with
food by the Government of the United States ; the
inability of a barge portion of the people to pay
taxes leaves the local authorities without adequate
means of relief, and the gravity of the situation
increased by the general disposition shown by
creditors to enforce upon an impoverished people
the immediate collection of all claims. To suffer
all this to go on without restraint or remedy is to I
sacrifice the general good. The rights of creditors !
shall be respected, but the appeal of want and ruf
fering must be heeded. Moved by these consider
ations, the following regulations are announced,
and they will continue in force with such modifi
cation as the occarion may require until the civil
government pf the respective States shall be es
tablished in accordance with the requirements of
the Government of the United States. The com
manding General earnestly desires and confidently
believes that the observanoe of these regulations
and the co-operation of all persons concerned in
employing fairly and justly the advantages still
remaing to them, will mitigate the distress now
existing, and that the avenues of industry, enter
prise, and organization thus opened will contrib
ute to the permanent welfare and future happi
ness of the people.
First : Imprisonment for debt is prohibited, un
less the defendant in eqecution shall be convicted
of a fraudulent concealment or disposition of his
property with intent to hinder, delay, and prevent
the creditor in the recovery of his debt or demand,
and the proceedings now established North and
South Carolina respectively, for the trial and de
termining of such questions, may 1 adopted.
Second. Judgment or decrees for the pavment
of money on causes of action arising between the

causes of action.

plaintiff, or in his absence his agent or attorney,
shall njxin oath, with corroborative testimony, al
lege or prove that the defendant is moving or in
tends fraudulently to remove his property qeyond
the territorial jurisdiction of the Court The sale
of real or personal propertv by foreclosure of
mortgage is likewise suspended for twelve calan-
dar months, except in cases where the payment qf
interest monev accruing since the 15th dav of
Mav, 18G5, shall not have been made before the
dav of sale.
Fourth. Judgments or decrees entered or en
rolled on causes of action arising subsequent to
the 15th of May, 1865, may be indorsed by execu
tion against the property of the defendant, and in
the application of the money arising under such
executions, regard shall be had to the priority of
hens, unless in cases where the good faith of any
lien shali 1 drawn in question. In such cases the
usual mode of proceeding adopted in North and
South Carolina respeetivclv to determine that
question shail lie adopted.
Fifth. All proceedings for the recovery of mon
ev under contracts, whether under seal or bv pa-
role, the consideration for which was the purchase

cutcred or enrolled for such causes of action shall

.Sixth. All advances of moneys, subsistence, im
plements, and fertilizers, loaned, used, employed,
or required for the purpose of aiding the agricul

most efficient remedies in such crises for the lender
will be supported and enforced ; wages for labor
performed in the production of the crops shall be
a lien on the crop, and payment of the amount
due for such wages shall be enforced by the like
remedies provided to secure advances of money
and other means for the cultivation of the solL ,
