We will" tell the story aahe related it: I had bought a fine silk umbrella and star- 1 ted for the Burnet House, on a rainy day, 1 when I began to refleot upon my extravagance, and to wonder, as I tripped along proudly underita broad and safe cover, wbether or not it would go the way of all umbrel- , ? * ? -A i? las, ana leave mew we piuicoa p^miugo u? . (he storm/' before the day was over. Tree, I could .keep it in my hand; bat then I was . occasional^ so absent minded that I would be . just as apt to sit it down in a public bar room ' or even to have it quietly taken out of my , hand by an adroit 'purloiner.' Suddenly ah idea ooonrred. I stepped in tt hardware store and purehaaed a amal 1 padlock. On arriving at the hotel, I closed my urn- , brella, slipped the look on. to the wire spring wbioh keeps it shut*; and deposited it with the most perfect confidence inv the public reek, waiting for a custom- , er,-. A wh^id'kwbng/eJlow with, a goat- | ee aod-moufrtaohe. stepped op with the most j ^ v^rfeoteioneEalence and took myMdentioaf . JHtfrohren*. Iquifitly sauntered to the. doorr , giving a oasual glance at the weather; my hero essayed to spread the sheltering silk; but |)as! it was no go?again still worse. What , the deuce was the matter ? he looked saw the trap, and the fell of his countenance was ( exactly the step from the sublime to the ridioulous, I had so often beard of, bat never seeifbefore. ? My umbrella quietly deposited in its place, and my gentleman ] meekly sannfeied towards the reading room , and slipped out of another door nmbrella- f leu. ' ' ' < I was by no means satisfied with one ex- ( periment. In a little while I "saw one of i the moet brazen appropriators of small things f (be was especially hard on lunches and i drinks?free) in all Cincinnati. 'Now/ ] said I, 'is my obance.' This customer had an article in his hand, which might in courtesy be stilled the 'ghost I of an umbrella/ and eotton at that. With i a grandiloquent air, he deposited it right side ] of mine, and went to the bar. There he 1 pioked up a treat (it was election time,)and i eat crackers and oheese enormously. Thence < to the reading room, with my eyfi still on < him, and in less than a minute, with a 1 shrug, and buttoning up his coat -an extra f button, he passed in a. rapid business manner to the door picked up my umbrella, with scarcely a glance as he went along. I was ? on hand. With a sudden movement he at- 1 tempted to raise it; no go t 1 Again! Still a failure ! With a decision ' perfectly Napoleonic and worthy of the oc- * casion he was about to tear the slight ob- 1 struction, when I stepped and said: (Don't do that I'll lend you the key 1' 'Ah ! Mr. Beard. Ho! strange mistake j ?thought it was own. Good device; think 1 Til adopt it.' And with the most perfect ease he put my 1 umbrella down, and took his own and vamoosed. I was satisfied. I had found out how to v keep an umbrella?and now I am on my way to Washington to get a patent for it. , 'OUT LOOSE AGAIN, SIB.' A friend of ours, who is a most accomplished salesman, and who is kept very busy in one of the up town dry goods houses, was complimented, not long since, in a manner and form as follows, to wit: He had a countryman in the store and was showing him a very handsome piece of ladies' dress goods, not with any hope of selling it; still there was some slight chance, and besides, it isjiecessary, as our friend avers, to keep constantly iu practice. So he dashed 4 ahead in fine style, praised the richness of the pattern, and extolled the texture of the fabric, held it up to a favorable light, vouched for its ultra fashionableness, and in short let loose a torrent of eloquence, in which it was difficult to distinguish which was the most flattered, the taste of the admiring rustic or the quality of the magnifioent.'mouseline. Bumpkin's eye flashed with gratified pride at the complimentary al lusion to himself, and unconcealed astonishment at the development of beauty in the goods and fluency in the salesman. Catching our friend by the arm, he exclaimed; 'stop right here one minute !' and dashed out of the dOor with two or three rapid bounds. Grosdenap stood still, a little bothered, holding the bolt of goocte across both bands, lust as though he had frozen in the attitude in which he had so thoroughly impressed the rural gentleman. Meanwhile this last mentioned individual whisked two bouncing girls out of a carryall which stood in front of the store, aud half pushing, half pulling them, brought them up in front of him of the fluent tongue. 'Gals! stand there?right there, Sally? and now,.Mister, cut loose again; I just want the gals to hear you/ It is almost needless to say; in view of the - ; r peculiarity of the circumstances, that our friend was utterly overwhelmed* with lis emotions, and for once in : his life failed in his ntteranoe?to the great disappointment of both father and daughters. * .> f " ' ' .* it" - Done'em Often.?Somewhere over-in Jersey & month ago, the manager of a company of itinerant actors was applied to by a lanky-legged chap for an engagement. The fellow who looked lugubrious enough to have been the shadow of a badly acted Hamlet, stumbled across the stage, and unjointing himself, collapsed into a chair. ' "Well, sir, what's your line of business?" queried the manager. "Not particular; anything that pays," he answered. "Ever been on the stage?" ~ "Certen; druve the regler mail six months," remarked the aspirant, throwing a quid of dog-leg at the big fiddle, aitd his left leg over his right knee, at one and the j same time. ** "v - ** * ** i "I think our company is?is full."

Day Booh, has been going the rounds of the newspapers for some time. It is a little remarkable how such a palpable misrepresentation of the true state of things could be suffered to "pass'unnotioed. The writer asserts that the cause of the present distress among many of the Northern merchants, is owing to the indebtedness of Southern merchants to them, who cannot pay, simply because the planters won't sell their cotton. An appeal is made to the Southern planter "to sell as soon as nnoaitilo nnd sustain the character of the South, by discharging the debt she owes, rather than hold on mouths longer, and prodace the downfall of a large class of Northern creditors who have waited long and are still waiting, with a foil reliance and faith upon the determination of the Southern customers to maintain their hitherto high reputation for soundness and reliability," &c. Now, Mr. Editor, the financial pressure among Northern r^erohants, spriogs from no such cause. It t. be traced to altogether different cireumsl i. But that is not our buisiness at present All this talk of Southern indebtedness to the North, is mere moonshine. Our merchants may owe for then?oods; we don't doubt that. Their custom-, ere, the planters, may owe them, and delay payments, because they hav'atsold their ootSon. This may be true, also?but the indebtedness, in the main, is to the banks at home; these legalized brokers' offices or .sharing shops that have oome between the Southern and Northern merchants, to reap ;he rich harvest. Everybody at all familiar with business, rQows how these things are managed nowadays. One of our merchants could not borrow of a bank here $1000 upon a note endorsed by half the District, to go North to buy goods, simply because it pays only six per cent. The New York merchant tells aim "we don't want your money; just give as you note payable at any South Carolina aank." The ink is hardly dry before this io KnnrrVif VPPV hflllk. DCrhaDS.

Who pays for ;he operation ? The planter, who buys the *oods and who is now entreated to sell his sotton at a sacrifice to save the operators.? For the last four months we have heard this ling dong from the newspapers, the factors, ;he merchants, the banks, and the cotton juyers, (who for the most part, are mere >ank puppets,) to "sell your cotton." In the face of a small balance of last year's ;rop unconsumed, anda small crop this year, 1857,) to come in, we have been told coton must go down, down, down. The punc has been hurled at us to boot; and now as he storm is over, and advices from Eurcpe )f a more favorable character, being constanty received, we are greeted with the same sryj?-'/sell your ootton before it is too late." Cotton is better than specie, because it in a < )ill of exchange, and not an exponent of vealth only, but a creator of wealth.?Ex. Hold On.

For each pound of j1 rait, allow a pound of powdered white ingar. Sprinkle half this amount over the 1 >erries, and let.them stand several hours 1 n a cool place, to harden and to form a ' iquor. Put them in a porcelain-lined 1 cettle, and by degrees strew on the sugar.? 1 Boil them slowly fifteen minutes, skimming 1 horoughly, then take them from the syrup I ind spread again on platters, to cool and 1 larden into shape. Then put them into ' ride-mouthed glass bottles, pour the syrup ' in boiling hot and seal the jars. 1 Strawberry Jelley.?Take the berries 1 rhen first ripe and fresh, mash and drain 1 hem through a flannel bag. To each pint ' if juice put a pound of white sugar, and one- ] hird of the white of an egg. Boil slowly bout ten minutes, skimming thoroughly, ] ben dip it into tumblers and oups, and set ' t into a sunny window, uncovered, till it 1 ellies; then seal them over. It will never ' orm a very firm jelly, but it is delioious and leautiful. 1 Strawberry Jam.?Small and poor ber- 1 lea will answer, if clean and free from de- * iay. Mash with a wooden pestle; add to :ach pound one fourth of a pound of brown ( ugar, boil about fifteen minutes, and seal up , n earthen, glass and stone jars. Canned Stawberries.?Put the ber- , ies over the fire without sugar, and almost j io water, and as soon as the whole mass is j aised to the boiling point, dip it while boil- ( ng into the cans (glass is better than tin for i inch acid fruit) and pour over the fruit in ;ach can, a little boiling syrup, nearly thick j mough to candy. Fill perfectly full, and leal air-tight at once. These are fine, eaten vith cream. Strawberries should never be washed for . preserving. If dirty, do not use them. Strawberry shortcake is a luxury. Make a large, ;hick shortcake, split it twice through, and spread with butter and a layer of fresh strawberries and sugar, put the parts togethsr again, and serve hot. Land-Galls.?These are abrasions of the soil, by rain water removing the soil off day lands long cultivated by the old wash away method and leaving the clay exposed. They might be very properly called land-sores of an indolent character and hard to heal. The best way to treat them is to scarify them deep every spring, sow them down in peas, plow them in in the fall and sow in rye; repeat the same operation next year, cover them with all the leaves, stalks, and long manure of any kind, and the third year a tolerable crop of corn or cotton may be grown on them. To manage them to the best advantage, they should be surrounded or cut off to themselves by guard drains of hill-side ditches. When you prune a small branch of a tree, always see that a bud is left opposite the cut; this will help it to heal over quickly; and you will assist the matter still more, by making the out always a sloping one. 19" Experiment shows apples to be equal to potatoes to improve hogs, and decidedly superior for feeding cattle.

It iaa fact that the moderatetti&of intoxicating liquors lead to excess and intemperance. We infer that it is dangerous for any one to take the first glass. It is a fact that intoxioating drinks do morehatm than good. Wo infer that it is the duty of every honest 'roan to exert himself to banish them from the world. ? It is a fact that a grog-shop in any neighborhood perils the health, morals, publio peace, and the lives of the people. We infer that it is the right of the people to have the nuisance removed. It is a fact that liquor selling iff demoralizing to those who eDgage in it, and destructive to the best intersts of society. We infer that it is a crime to license a man to sell liquor, and that the very act of license involves all in guilt. It is a fact that civil government was instituted to protect health, morals, property and life. We infer that a law prohibiting entirely the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors would be constitutional and right. It is a fact that a large propofion of the liquors sold are basely dragged, and villainously cohnterfeited. We infer that those who make and sell those liquors are unhang scoundrels, who deserve the halter. It is a fact thatrthose who make and execute our laws know that hundreds of thousands are slaughtered by poisoned drinks, and yet do nothing to prevent it. We infer that office-holders and politicians think more of the honors and spoils of office, than they do of the public welfare. It is a fact the "Maine Law" has been more strongly degp^idby liquor politicians, than any;otW?rlaw ever^t upon the Statute. Boqk. We infer that it, is the best enactments ever made to arrest the evil, and should be repoduced in substance in every cilvilized State on the globe. A Liquor Dealer.?Mr. Dele van, President of the New York State Temperance Society, in his recent address in the.capitol at Albany,1 dwelfmainly on the now prevailing adqltepvtion of liquors: , . ^ > - ^Within a few weeks,".be said, " it has coxne'te niy knowledge, that'a persoh whose oonsoiene'e revolted at His employment in a large liqoor estabishment, has left it for a more innocent an&oreditable business. He stated that it now only tO^Men, some say four gallons of pore whiskey to raake a barrel of the whiskey of commerce.' To these are added rainwater, camphcne and Arsenic,""the latter to restore the bead destroyed by the water. He said also, that brandy made to imitate the real Frenoh brandy, and of materialofthe most poisonous character, was sold at $4 par gallon, costing only 22 cents. That all kinds }f wines were imitated so closely that the best judges could not discriminate; costing but a trifle, and sold at prices to suit customers^ The higher the standing-of the customer, and the more particular as to his' winee ;he higher the price to satisfy him as to quality. The most celebrated brands were made ise of, and the name of the most celebrated m -L i ? -- .v CiUrOpeon aeiliera giveu, no uic.auuiuc vtoujr ply; and European dealers, be it known, are lot much behind, but much in advadce of ;he American trader in their adulters;ions. He quotes an advertwment of a chemiset ,n New York, who is now prepared to furnish .he flavorings for ever; kind of liquor, and ;he best Congnac brandy, etc. is produced. A Stewed Witch^?You have heard of ;he animal, but have you ever seen'one?? Though a witch,, it is not confined to the feminine sex. We have seen both sorts. If pou wish to see a stewed witch, just enter ihe house of a toper in the morning after he has spent the most of the night at the grogshop. Just turn to the door of his room as he comes out, what a figure does he cut ?? His hair uncombed for a week or more, is now kinky and dishevelled?he is rubbing his eyes, and every and anon, you see them blood-shot and the inner lining of the lids red as if bound with red flannel?his lips dry and huskey?his tongue parohed, scarcely able'to artioulatg?his coat and pants coved with lint and feathers. Ask him how he feels. He stretches himself, gapes apd yawns, as if his joints were dislocated., and mutters out, "I feel like a stewed witch." Sure eDough, he feels exactly like what ho is. Not a witch, but a "stewed witch." His brains are stewed, his eyes are stewed, his lips are stewed?stewed all night at the dram-shop in stinking whiskey. And how changed. Once he was a bewitching young man?in telligent, honest and handsome?the pride of-his family?the foous of a refined social circle?the boast of his townsmen; bat ah 1 bewitching as he was, a glass of wine bewitched him, and now all that you see of this once noble youth is, he is a miserable, loathsome "stewed witch."?Spirit of the Age. Taking a Drink.?Why take a dram, a glass of julep, of toddy, of grog, of wine or any intoxicating liquors ? Will not water do better, infinitely better, in promoting health, comfort and position? Are you thirsty ? nothing can refresh you so well as nature's beverage. Why take a dram then, or a glass of wine ? Can you give a sensible reason for it ? A beast will not drink it. No, the stupid ass will turn away with loathing from it. Perhaps you love it. Is it good ? If so, is it good for soul or body ? Does it promote your wealth, your health, your influence, your oorporal comfort ? How ? Does I it improve you mentally, 'socially, or reli-\ giously 1 Wherein FAJJ experience, history, reason and common seDse, iteaoh otherwise. ,You love it'! Strtnge (Ba't a' mad tfilflove sorrow, poverty, disgrace?the ruin,of self,of family, of reputation, of poverty and the ruin of soul. Yet that is the only true reason why men take a dram.' They love it?yes, better thin they love self,or wife^or children,. or reputation, or country, or friends, or the undying soul. If so, can such be called men ?free men ? Are they not slaves?the slaves of appetite. 0 ! viotim of your owU folly, break the fetters which bind you.
