When 10 Stop.-We were taught this morning practical lesson. It has almost induced us to join the Pence Society, and flatteF the Autocrat of Russia. Passing by the pump from which our office is supplied with wafer, we found there two lads, ap- pfentlces in neighboring establishments, throwing water at each other, and mutually contending for the possession of the pump, with all their might and strength. At length the younger boy, finding himself overpow- cred, offered terms of peace. Retiring a short distance from the pump, he cried out lmploringly to his antagonist, "Now Jim why can't you be still you have wet me as much as I apet you" Jim's answer was brief but il put an end to the war. "Well," said he, " mind how you begin it next time" !" atd with all the dignity of conqueror, he filled his bucket and marched off.

 We thought to ourself whether all quar- rels would not sooner terminate, if either party knew when to stop. We even won- dered, in our disposition to put the princi- pie into practical effect, whether we had not wet fbe Charleston folks as much as they wet us. Upon the whole, we came to the conclusion that we had, but hope they will mind next time how they begin it.
