was walking close behind me and keep

considered to be somewhat familiar
and offensive. Influenced by the sa

and feeling that 1 should soon be re

said nothing, but hurried my pace until
1 reached the steps leading to my own

about two feet all around from each ot
us, eve both, as it wore, walking in a

palpably at tlic time of its occurrence,
and was quite aware that not a particle
of snow touched either ot us while W€
were together, yet, strange to say, it
never struck meas being singular until
I had mounted the steps and found the

After supper and a single glass of a
each, we retired to our respective slec]
iug apartments, to renew our conversi
•ion at breakfast and spend a hnpp
Christmas day together. Some how or
other l did not sleep vcrv well; but, as
I am rather abstemious and quite unus
ed to late suppers, fancied that my rest
lessness was occasioned by even tire
single glass of ale and the few mouth
fuls I had taken to eat. As the day be
gan to dawn, however, I became drow
sy, and sank into a deep and refreshing
* slumber, from which I was aroused
about eight o’clock by the well known
voice of my aged domestic announcing
that breakfast was ready. I was soon
up and dressed, and, as was always my
habit, passed into my study for a few
moments before going down stairs.
Here, to my utter surprise, I perceiv
ed standing on the tabic at which my
friend and I had supped, two glasses ;
one empty, and. the other filled with
ale, beside a plate, the contents of which
appeared not to have been touched. I
was astonished and confused beyond
measure at this ; for, before retiring to
rest, I had locked a door leading out
into the hall at the head of the stairs,
which effectually cut off both my study
and my bed room from all intrusion.
Unable to account for this strange con
; ditiou ofthe table, 1 instantly hastened
1 to the apartment of my friend, and
knocked at the door. Receiving no re

that she had not made up any beds that j
morning, and that not a soul lmd left or J
entered the house that morning. Ut
terly bewildered, 1 was about to make
; some inquiries, when my attention was
arrested by a knock at the ball door, j
It was the postman. He handed me ft
1 letter. 1 opened it and sank into a chair.
; It contained tlie announcement of my
friend’s death, which had occurred at!

A Double Elopement-Extraordinary
Solution of a Matrimonial Riddle.
Our Edgefield neighbors have recent
ly been favored with a sensation not
less racy than startling, in the shape of
nothing less than a double elopement.
The circumstances are as follows :
For some two or three months pasta
family named Riddle, from East Ten
nessee, have been living at Hicks’ old
block yard, in lower Edgefield. The
family consisted of Mr. Riddle, his wife,
a little son of Mrs. R. by a former mar
riage, and a young lady whose name
we were not able to ascertain. Here
comes in the inevitable young gentle
man. His name was Harris, and his
visits were frequent. Having estab
lished a close intimacy with the Riddles
he introduced into their Eden a “sar
pint” named John Lambert. John was
sixty-five and, as the denouement
proved, seductive.
Last Sunday week Harris and Lam
bert went to Riddle's house in compa
ny. Their errand was a sinister one.
They went to tear Mrs. R. from the
embrace of her unsuspecting husband ;
and so the latter was informed by Lam
bert. Riddle snickered at the idea—
’twas a good joke. But when he no
ticed the fiifcu compression of Lam
bert's lip and the ominous glitter of
Harris’ eye—when Lambert growled
out from between his teeth, in the most
approved inelo-dramatic style, that they
had come for Mrs. Riddle, and were
going to have her, and that if he made
any resistance they would “decapitate”
him in the shape of a sheep's tail, Rid
dle realized the intensity of the crisis,
and sprang to the bed for his pistol.
The charges had been drawn. There
was a “traitor in the camp,” Riddle was
betray ed. At this juncture Harris, who
was heavy on the muscle, seized and
•fin/1 cf nYrHli pnmnflip rppi’onnf
wife and undid him with four brief
words. “It is too true.” With imper
turbable calmness, and a grim sort of
smile, as if she were paying off old
scores, she proceeded to revelations,
which filled the sold of Riddle with
any amount of uncomfortable emotion.
In the first place, all arrangements for
the elopement had been systematically
concluded. She was “bound" to go
with Lambert, and the young lady
(name unknown) was bound to go with
Harris. The affliction was certainly a
“hard one" for the “old man,” but she
considerately hoped that he would
“grin and bear it.” Lambert had given
her “something to make her love him
some sweet oblivious antidote—and
that was the long and short of it. She
had, in fact, been a perfect stranger to
love until she met Lambert audit would
be very ungenerous of Riddle to stand
in the way of her happiness. The least
thing he could do for all concerned was
to let her depart in peace.
Strange to say, this singular plea “set
Riddle,” as our informant states, “to
thinking.” Such an aggregation of do
mestic calamity at such short notice
paralyzed as it were, his powers of ac
tion. So he took a seat, utterly sub
dued, and while he was groping in the
dim recesses of his mind for relief from
this great sorrow of his life, morning
came, and with it the express wagon
which was to bear away Mrs. R. and
her luggage. Riddle aroused himself;
lie made a last appeal to liis levanting
better-half, without avail. Lambert’s
love potion was still in “successful op
eration.” Seating lierself on an ancient
cedar chest—the gift of her first hus
band—she waved adieu with a yellow
bandana pocket handkerchief until lost
by distance to the tear-dimmed vision
of her deserted spouse.
At last accounts, Mrs. Riddle, Lam
bert, Harris, and the “young lady,” had
embarked for Cairo, en route, as is sup
posed, for Missouri, where a brother of
Mrs. R. resides.
Lambert is between sixty and sixtv
live years of age, and formerly lived
near Elizabethtown, Ivy., but for the
last three or four years lias been in the
employ df Mr. Kramer, in Edgefield,
lie left behind him a wife, who is old
and afflicted, besides several children,
and, we are informed, grand children.
That husbands are false and that women ave
frail,
Or thatmen with each other's wives meddle,
Is a truth we'll admit—though the wife in
this tale
Is an incomprehensible Riddle.
Good Character.—A young man
who is entering upon life witli a fair
reputation, feels that be possesses a trea
sure above all price; and lie will be
likely to guard it from the contamina
tion of evil; he will also be excited to
make higher and still higher attain
ments in excellence. Character is like
■ stock in trade—the more of it a man
possesses, the greater are his facilities
| for making addition to it; or it is like
an accumulating fund, constantly in
■ creasing iu value, and daily acquiring
1 to itself fresh accessions of stability

The Early Home of Jesus.
Four miles south of the strong Greek
city of Sephoris, hidden nwav among
the hills, then covered from the base to
the crown with vineyards and 11 g trees,
laid a natural nest or basin of rich red
and white e&rtli, star-like in shape, but
a mile in width, and woudcrously ier
tile. Along the sacred and chalky slope
of one of the highest of these hills
spread a small and lovclf village, which
in a land where every stone seemed to
have a story, is remarkable as having
no public history, and no distinguished
native name. Xo great road led upjto
this sunny nook.
Xo traffic came into it, no legions
passed through it; no trade, war, ad
vent ure,pleasure, pomp, passed through
it, flowing from west to east, and from
east to west, along the Roman road.
Rut the meadows were aglow with
wheat and barley. Xcar tlie low-ground
ran a belt of gardens, fenced with
stones, in which myriads of green tigs,
red pomegranates and golden citron
ripened in the summer sun. High up
the slopes, which were lined and plant
ed like the Rhine at Bingen, hung the
vintages, purple grapes. In the plain,
among the corn, and beneath the fig
and mulberry trees, slione daisies, pop
pies, tulips, lilies and anemones, end
less in their profusion and brilliant in
their dyes.
Low down on the hillside sprang a
well of water, bubbling plentiful and
sweet; and above this fountain of life,
ilia long .street, straggling from Ihc
fountain into the synagogue, rose the
homesteads of many shepherds, crafts
men and vine-dressers. It was a lovely
and humble place, of which no ruler,
no historian of Israel had ever taken
notice. Xo Rachael had.•been met and
Kissett into love at tins wen ; no num
had gathered up the sheaves of barley
in yon fields; no tower had been built
for observation on this bight; no camp
had ever been pitched for battle in that
vale. That one who would become
dearer to the fancies of men than either
ituth or Rachel, then walked through
those fields, drew water at this spring,
and passed up and down the lanes of
this hamlet, no seer then ymn’d^Jtaye
surmised. The place was no more than
obscure. The Arab may have pitched
his black tent by the well; the magis
trates of Sephofis must have known the
village, hut the hamlet was never men
tioned by the Jewish scribes. In the
Bible, in the Talmud, in the writings of
Josephus, we search in vain for any re
cord of this sacred place. Like its hap
py neighbors, Nain and Eudor, it was
the abode of husbandmen and oil and
vinedressers, whose lives were spent in
the synagogue, the vineyard and the
olive grove, away from the bright
Greek cities and the busy Homan roads.
No doubt it had once been possessed of
either ail Arab or a Hebrew name, but
we do not know the name except in its
Hellenic form. -The Greeks called the
town Nazaret or Nazareth. •

Manufacturing in the South.
The Baltimore Sun remarks that
among the changes which are likely to
result from the late conflict between
the North and the South, those of a
commercial and manufacturing charac
ter promise to be the most conspicuous.
Before the war, the natural course ol
business was to send cotton from the
South to the Northern Atlantic cities
for the purpose of being manufactured
or re-shipped to Europe, receiving in
ha! ii mi oik.1i arAA/lo no flin nlniifiiirr Gtuf nc
consumed. Now, the tendency is to lo
calize the business of tho South—to
produce there, as far ns possible, the
manufactured goods required for home
consumption. With the growth ol
manufactures in the South, the advan
tages of cheapness, resulting from hav
ing the raw product on the spot, will
be realized, and eventually she may
undersell others, and send her surplus
direct to such foreign markets as arc
need of them. Asa symptom of this
introversion of trade, it may he noted
that between seventy and eighty cotton
mills arc now said to he in process oi
erection in the Southern States, besides
sundry woolen ones, all tending to the
change in trade and business to which
we have adverted. Nor is the tenden
cy confined to (lie South solely, but
seems to bo actuating the people of the
Western States also. There, too, in
creased attention to manufacturing
enterprises is manifested, promising
changes in commercial affair not an
ticipated ten years since. These have
been expediated in the South by the
conflict in arms, while iu the West thee
are the result of views antagonistic tt
those entertained by the manufacturer!
! of the Atlantic States.

II is somewhat amusing to the mirth
fully disposed, to look on and listen at
the cver-fitful twitches and turns, jests
and taunts, witticisms and laugh provo
king remarks, that greet the enr every
day on the street, the pavements and
around the places of public resort.
For it so happens that on almost every
such meeting or occasion, some sensi
tive fellow manifests unmistakable
symptoms ofhaving his toes pinched
lie twists, turns, whittles, spits, knits
his brows, takes a fresh quid ot tobac
co, scratches his massive cranium,
draws a long breath and seeks a new
crowd ; again vouwill see another class,
hurrying along as if going for a Doctor,
head erect, eyes right, neither elbow
ing or being elbowed, never deigning
to touch bis bat, or bid you a good
morning—assuming all the pomposity
and airs of an English Lord, but watch
him a minute, and yob find him going
to a—what do you call it—for a dram
then walk in after him, and his toes are
pinched. Again, walk leisurely around
the morning after one of the papers is
issued and distributed, and look at the
interest with which the poor paper is
turned about and doubled up, looking
if there is any thing said about big F,
or little u ; gradually there is a sober
ing down in looking over the captious
of short articles; watch the muscles of
(lie facOj when an article is found, set
ting forth some facts that reach home;
to the reader he squints, contracts the
muscles of his face, moves his toes, gets
up,' throws down the paper, tells how
much he has paid for Hie paper, for ad
vertisements, &c., but says lie will not
patronise that paper .any longer, lie
don't like such articles; thinks they are
not in keenin'.!- with good taste and dc
cency. This follows Iocs are evidently'
tender, and somebody lias tramped on
them and hurt his feelings; so he falls !
out with the newspapers and resolves
that lie will quit them; he goes to
church and the preacher selects a par
ticular text, and comes down with
sledge hammer vim upon him, and his
toes are again unpleasantly involved,
and he dojiT like the preacher ; thinks
lie is too personal in his remarks, and
so his toes will never get well; his mis
fortune Is, that liis toes are always in
the way, because he chooses to put them
there. XJe can’t enjoy company or so
ciety, because he has tender toe,9, and
is always in dread of getting them hurt;
we would advise such to stay at home
(in the bounds of prudence and for
bearance) till their toes get well, and
then put on heavier shoes ; (humility,
meekness and charity.) But we will
close this article for fear that some
body’s toes may fet be exposed, and
we don’t want to hurt them, lest they
might withdraw their patronage and
influence from your worthy paper—
the Citizen.

ilad he been a white man, the law
would have required a sentence of
from one to fifteen years in the pen
itentiary. None of the oilier blacks
who were sold brought so high a figure.
The law under which this sale was
made was passed by a Radical Legis
lature and approved by the Radical
Governor Bradford. In the Senate it
received every vote except two, and
the vote in the House stood forty-eight

What is singular enough—or what
would be strange in any other times
