' tiuued neglect of many of my customers to
5 iny up tlieir indebtedness for the past year
- or mote, I am compelled to adopt
ANOTHER SYSTEM
-$ of doing business. Very many of ray cus
.iTWf-JTT .
tomers have allow ed their accounts to sun
for such an unieasonable length of time
, that a great loss to me, without any benefit
- J to themselves, has beeu the result, Hence
it is that I find it
t
;1 bpcsih to CalitM th Crdit SpUm
and at the same time keep up my stock
. and meet my obligations promptly.
tk I am sincerely thankful for the liberal
5 patronage that has been extended to mc,
l utd now earnestly ask one ami all w ho are
I indebted to mr, no matter how huge or
9 bow small the amount, to call and settle,
'i either by cash or note,
i MORE THE 1ST DAY OF JAMARY, SSTb",
i-a. I need and must hare money. Believ
? iog as I do from past experience (which I
Jl have paid well for) that it will bo better
' for me as well as for my customers to adopt
3 the leady-pay system,
I I WILL NOT,
'i After the FIRST of JANUARY, IS75,
. SKl.L AY HOODS 01 tttF.IIIT.
I am fully convinced that in three cases
out of four persons buying goods never find
a more convenient time to pay than wbeu
they make their puichases, and as an in-
tiucenient to my customers to boy for cash
if or in exchange foi country produce, I will,
'vt after the above date,
KNOCK OFF ONE-HA! F the PROFIT
heretofore realized in this place on goods
f of the same class.
Hoping that my old customers will take
,i io offense at the new mode of doing bnsi
)if less I a:n about to adopt, but will contin
;'f ae to favor ine with their patronage on a
J ' strictly cash basis, which they will be sure
.ilo find tbe very best for all concerned, I
4 j'cd;e myself to mark my gotds down to
-jUbe.lowest cash rates.

! a riCTinu rnozi memory.
! "While sitting alone at the riresMe,
I Watching the embers flicker and blaze,
' Fond Mem'ry painted for tne
A picture of bygone days ;
'Twas that of a fair, sweet face,
i With eyes of the deepest, blue
A figure graceful and slight,
j And hair of a golden hue.
' As I gazed on the beautiful picture
i My eyes grew dim with tears,
J And" backward seemed to flow
) The tide of the weary years.
Then one by one stole back
The halcyon days of yore,
i And 1 again was a happy child,
In fancy living them o'er.
The hand of my cherished friend
I 1 clasped once more in my own,
And he old-lime love of her gentle heart
I Asrain in the blue eves shown.
. -.w 1
She spoke as of old, and my heart with joy
To its deepest depths was stirred,
As melhonght again the tenderest tones
Of her sweet, soft voice I heard.
Wo wandered once more in our childish glee
The meadows and woodlands through,
To gather the daisy and tainplau bright,
J nst as we used to do ;
And again into garlauds our flowers we
twined,
As we sat in the willow's shade,
Listening the while, as was our wont.
To the ictibic the brooklet made.
Methonght again of the fond farewell
For that, absence "so brief to be,"
And my heart grew sad as memory dwelt
On tit last furevcell to me.
Yes, the old-time grief came back,
And bitterest tears I shed
As in fancy once more I gazed
On the face of that dear one deatL
Oh ! many a beautiful picture
Has Memory painted for me,
Of the sunny hours of my childhood
And cherished Ihe scenes will e'er lie.
But in beamy there's none can equal,
Nor fancies as pleasant recall.
As the charming face of toy dear dead
friend
So I love it the best of all.

BY REV. THEOBOLD MATTHEW.
Oh ! whiskey, thou bane of domestic enjoy
ment !
Thou killer of comfort aud causer of care!
'Tisthou nnfittest the mind for employ tnent,
Disgracing the man and degrading the fair.
In hell rhou wert biewed, by the devil in
vented, Imported to earth, to proud mortals pre
sented, To make the last luouxcttU of taau discon
tented, And nil up his measure of grief and des
pair. 'Tis thou art ihe cause of each ill wo com
plain of.
To vice and to folly leading the way ;
All virtue in man thou art surely the bane
of
His road to destruction by night and by
day.
Society's bonds art by thee rnt astiiider
Thou fittest the wretch both Tor bloodshed
and plunder ;
That crime should prevail w hers thou art
used is no wonder.
When man, foolish man, is by thee led
astray.
a xiaiiT or Jion::on.
The setting rays of a c.JJ December sun
were still faintly shining over tlm little vil
lage of Arlington, when the mail-coach
front London drew up, with its attendant
bustle and confusion, before tho ''Blue
Dragon," the principal inn of the place.
As quickly as their numb limbs would let
them, the half-frozen outsiders, ann but
little wanner insiders, clintbetl down from
their perches and entered the parlor, where
a cheei ful lite and still more inviting dinner
were ready to welcome them.
Owing to the shocking state of the roads,
the coach was compelled to stop there that
night, instead of continuing its journey,
and reaching its d jstiaation tho following
day. Of course there were Ike usual num
ber of grumblers, who had the most urgent
business ou hand, and a sprinkling of fasti
dious ones, who were too dignified tosnend
onenight in alow tavern, as they so politely
, termed it, but even these, under the influ
ence of the good cheei, combined with the
generous effects of a little stronger stimu
lant, tseon became appeased, ami in a short
time all were chatting together ou friendly
terms.
tYhch the inner man, not lo sny woman
too, had been refreshed, they all, as if by
coniruou couseut, drew up their chairs to
the fire, with the intention of making a
night of it. Some talked politics, some
discussed mercantile business, some nar
rated travels, otheis adventures the most
exciting of which has given the title to our
story. It was told by an elderly lady, who
( gave it with such emphasis that she alone
j succeeded in really captivating the atten
tion and interest of all. It ran thus :
"Some forty years ago my husband and
myself, then but lately married, were living
iu a little house iu Devonshire. A pictur
esque spoi indeed, and desolate enough for
any bat a newly-married couple, since we
were a good two miles fiom the nearest
village, aud there was no habitation be
tween us and it. We had not been there
long before my husband had cause to dis
miss his man-servant on suspiciou of steal
ing plate, which, though never proved,
clearly pointed to lihu as the thief, and tho
man. had ftince then taken up his abode in
the village, where he lived in an idle and
dissipated manner.
"One morning, soon after this, as my
husband and myself were setting out for a
walk, a message "was put iuto his hands,
which stated that his nncle was dying, and
wished to see him at once. This we
thought strange, as tbe iast accounts we
had received of his health bad been very
good ; but my husband, who had oxpccU
tions iu that quarter, and really did like '
eld geutlctuaii. thought it best to go
aud satisfy himself of the truth with his own
eyes. Accordingly he set out, leaving me
alone the first time since our marriage
and promising to be back again the follow
ing day if possible.
"In the afternoon tho weather changed,
and the sky that had beeu so bright and
blue in the morning soon became clouded
and overcast. The wind too got up with
an ominous sound; eveiy thing, in short,
betokened a coming storm. I went iuto the
house, and hrd haidly taken off my bonnet
and shawl before the first drops of rain be
gan to patter down against the windows.
With tiie falling of the rain a sort of indes
cribable depression seemed to ccnie uioii
me, and do what I would I could not shake
it off. In vain I tried the piatio, a favorite
book, my work it was of no use; it seemed
to settle more and more upotv nao as tho
evening advanced.
"At last, by ten o'clock, I could si and it
iu longer, and, telling my maid I should
not want her again, I went up stairs to
my bed room. On entering, I locked the
door behind rne, and mechanically laid the
key wi tin? mrtiifie-pifcee. I snt down be
foie the lookiogsgl.iss ;.nd began to brush
my hair, atid thinking the while of how
my husband got on, and what was the
eailiest hour I might reasonably expect
him back the next day. Happening to
raise my eyes, I saw a hand creep from be
hind the curtains of the bed, silently take
the key from the man! le-picce, and disap
pear again. How I refiained from shriek
ing out on seeing this 1 scarcely know.
For a moment I felt completely sick with
fear, aud my face, reflected in the glass,
appeared to ire gliastly. Cut it was not
for long, however; once more my heart
began to beat, and the awful reality of my
position suddenly flashed upon me. With
a prese.iceof mind that was quite unintuial
to mc, I continued brushing my hair as
though I had seen nothing, while a hun
dred reflections rushed through my mind.
There I was alone and unprotected, locked
up in a room with an unknown being who
had hidden himself God only knew for
what purpose. To have shown the least
alarm or suspicion of his presence would
have beeu tocouit immediate death ; for
I felt well assured that one who had vakcu
the trouble, to secrete himself would have
been deterred by no scruples to gain his
own ends. What was I tolo? It is ti tie
that m husband's dresssing-njom opened
out, of my bod-room ; but there was no
other outlet from it, and the key most,
over was in the bed-room side of the door.
So I discarded that idea iu despair. Then
I thought of sitting up and reading all
night ; but this, too, would be of no use;
for, even supposing I could keep awake,,
the r mli an would soon lose patiei.ee, and I
would have to face him. Fa. better, then,
to go to bed, simulate sleep, and trust to
Providence for the rest. Accordingly I
put out the light, aud with a beating hcaic,
as I neared the spot where I knew he was
concealed, I crept to bed. To have tokl
me not to go to sleep would have been so
m-.ich breath wasted, fr I never felt less
inclination to do so. The flickering of the
firelight enabled me t.x'isccru thesan-ound-objects,
while without the incessant
patter of the rain, as it fell from the eaves,
seemed to make the silence more oppress
ive. 15y degrees I began to breathe a little
heavily, and at regular intervals, as one
just dropping o.T to sleep, and I even went
so far as to feign to snore. After 1 had
lain like this for tvhat seemed tome hours,
but what could not really have been mote
than twenty minutes, a slight motion be
hind the curtain told me that at last my
enemy was about to come out. I imme
diately closed my eyes ; and only just in
time, for the nest instant I felt that he
was bending over me to asceitaiu whether
I was really asleep.
"Having assured himself on this point,
ho went to the window, opened it, and gave
a low whistle. Another minute, and a lad
der was placed against the siil and soon
a second man was standing by the first. I
then perceived that both wore black masks,
and I heard the one who just entered ask
the other whether the 'old gal' had twigged
anything.
" 'Xo,' he answered ; 'she went to bed
as quietly as a new-born lamb,'
. " 'Then let's set to work at once.'
"With these words, to my great joy, I
saw them going toward my husband's
dressing room. But I had counted my
chickens too soon, for one of them, turning
back, cam 3 and flashed the candle before
my eyes, as if to convince himself that my
sleep was unfeigned. To keep still during
this ordeal was most trying ; for had I be
trayed the slightest consciousness of his
presence, or otherwise moved in the least,
it would have been all up with mo. Seem
ingly satisfied, he rt joined his companion,
and I heard them rifle the plate chest, which
had been placed there for greater security,
with no unworkmanlike hands. All at
once an idea flashed across my mind how,
if by getting out of bed quietly, I could
reach the door, turn tho key upon them,
and so catch them iu a complete trap?
'No sooner thought of than done-; gent
y 1 turned back the clothes and glided
from the bed. As my foot tuo':d the
11 r the clock was striking the first tstrokes
of twelve, and I thought, I heard iu the fat
distant the thud of a horse's gall p. True
it was v-r, faint ? anA T imaged that per
naps aftr all my hea..;;,g bad deceived me ;
,0 1 hl.-ealluily advancd. I was ithiu
three steps of tha dor wLcu I stu-.ul.kd
over a foot-stool I had not noticed. The
noise caused tho robbers to look round,
and our eyes met. Then came the race
for life, foi I knew that I might expect no
mercy at their Laud. We were wilhin
an equal distance of the dii', which, as I
before mentioned, lckt-d on my side. I
made a rush forward, and car.ght hold f
the handle ; they on their side did the
same. For one moment I thought I w::s
lost ; but then gathering up my remaining
strength into one final effort, I pulled it t-,
turned the key, and with one long scieaiu
fell senseless on the floor.
" 'When I recovered I found myself in
the arms of my husband, wbilo a second
glance round the room showed me my two
visitors in the hands of a policeman. The
'denouement' is easily explained.
".My husband upon arriving at his un
cle's found him in the most perfect health,
and quite innocent of having sent him ai-y
mes;-;ge. Heing alarmed at ibis be hur
ried back, and on Lis way through the vil
lage had got the const abulruy foicc (which,
by Xhe-by. consisted of only one man) to
accompany him to his house. When with
in a few paces of it they heard my scream
and seeing the ladder against the window,
had hurried up it. And only just in time,
for the robbers were ou the iuint of break,
iug through the d'jor. It is almost need
less to add that the man hidden in my room
was the s-ervant we had discharged and
who, out of levrnge, had planned this rob
bery with one of his pals. Iu a fortnight's
time they were 'wanted' over Ihe seas i
where I have no doubt they ase still sadly j
ruminating over the vicissitudes of human
life."

The other night a Faycttcville gentleman
was greatly disturbed by a dismal howling
in the kitchen, which he at first supposed
was the sad lefiain of some low-spirited
tom-cat dying from the bronchitis. Trac
ing up the noise he found that it proceeded
from an old negro woman that was rcking
backward and forward in a chair, singing
as vociferously as her feeble lungs would
i.r.o-.v.
''What are you i.ing, Aunt Peggy?"'
exclaimed the i.aie F.iyetteviiliriu.
"I'm a siitgiu' of n Lime, hon?y.,;

"I'm a singtn' 'I'm gw iue for to j in the

"Well, I'd like to know vliat band you

"I)e angel band, honey de Lord's

"Xow, you'd make a nice angel, wouldn't

newspaper tells about a little six year-old
girl in a country town in that State, who
went iule a country store where her father
was lounging, recently, and, tlyly approach
ing him, said :
"Papa, won't you buy me a new dress?'
"What, buy you a new dress, Susy?"
"Vps, p-tpa, won't you?"'
"Well, I'll see; 111 sicak to jour mother
about it."
Elongation to an !i!.irm:::g extent rapidly
spread over tho little face, but a thought
suddenly struck her, and with a smile she
looked up into her father's face and said:
"Well, papa, if you dospeak lo mamma
about it, touch her eay, or she may want
tho new dress herself."
The fat her at once saw the point, and the
new dress was purchased without consul
