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." What dthe sailors do with the the ship makes in a day ? knots A pretty female artist can draw ( finally with a brush and a blush. the men A forte that is too much stormed now-a-"days. The piano-forte. When, was beef tea first made in England ? When Henry VII dissolved the Pope's bull. , i Nearly every evil has its compensation. If a man has but one foot he never treads on his own toes. Who is the greatest poulterer in Shake speare ? Claudius, King of Denmark, be cause he "murdered most foul." A woman's tears arc generally more effec tivchan her words. In such cases, wind is a less powerful element than water. The more a woman's waist is shaped like an hour" gliiss, the more it shows us that her sands of life are runningout. It is singular fact that the ladies who know how to preserve everything eslse, can't pre serve their tempers. Yet it may easily be done on the self-scaling principle. It is only to "keep Hi? mouth of the vessel tigUly dosed." V TTFI SBMI-WBBKIIjY edition. New Series. RALEIGH, N. C.,. AUGUST 27, 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.
