RICUABD TKADON.
This gentleman was a native of
the citv of Charleston, and a graduate
of the South Carolina College.
3?W many j*ears he ewercised an
extensive influence over tho State
of S -nth Carolina and the Southern
States as editor of the Charles
ton Courier. lie was a most efficient.
and able writer on various
subjects. At one time he spoke ot
collecting his essays, and publish
ing them in two or three volumes.
Mr. Yeadon was 4 lawjer, and
stood deservedly high at the
Charleston Bar, a Bar always distinguished
for its learning, talents
and eloquence. Hie professional
income was very large from his
admission to the Bar till the close
of lm life. He was one of the
most laborious tnen I ever knew,
>?1 j . .u J _ 1 ? 1
iiiiu couiu reau, write una smuy
all night, and ill the morning appear
us fresh and bright as it' his
repose had not been disturbed?
Ilia preparation in his cases in
court was minute and exhausting
At the same time he was writing
for his paper most elaborate editorials.
F??r several years, ho was
a distinguished and useful member
ot the Legislature. In the discharge
of his duties in the House
and on committees, he was prompt,
diligent and laborious.
Mr. Yeadon commenced life
poor, and by his honest industry
and devotion to his profession and
newspaper, he had accumulated
before the warjfc an estat - worth
three or four hundred thousand
dollars. Whilst staying at his
house during the Commercial Convention
in Charleston many years
before the war, ho showed me his
income receipts, which then
amounted to nearly thirty thousand
dollars annually. T.iey were
largely increased after that time.
But the war came, ami two-thirds
of his ostato wore lost. The wreck
of his fortune though at his dcu'h,
when collected, realized one hundred
and twenty or thirty thousand
dollars lie left no child to
inherit his name and loi'tunc. His
adopted son and nephew who took'
liis name was killed during the
war. But notwithstanding this
large accumulation ot fortune, Mr.
Yeadon was a most generous, charitable
and liberal geutlemue
throughout life. lie gave on all
occasions with ulilteral hand where
duty required. To hid relations,
he was extremely kind, ar.d shared
wiih thetn his priucolv fortune.?
At Ids own expense he went to
Boston and brought Inane the remains
of his distinguished friend,
Hugh S. Legare. He performed
in farr, the same-service to those
of Preston S. B'Ooks. Daring
^he war, ho uniformed and titled
put a handsome and gallant company
of Infantry, which assumed the
jiume of the Yeadon Guards. After
th^infamous cdndnct of General
Butler, at New Orleans, and
his attrocknis insult to the ladies of
the Cresent City, he offered 4 reward
ot ten thousand dollars fop
Butlers head. When'one of his
nieces' was married, he presented
her with a house and lot in Charlestonf
worth eight or ten thousand
dollar^
ilr Vendon's hospitality was

g ryry pleasant and jo.* 6ns coin

gnbiept to gppjfc of mel
anolioly and despondency without
adjr cause whatever. It was said
of him with a groat doal of truth

member elected on the ticket, lie
and Yeadon roomed together in Co
lumbia, and inclining their wit at
each f>tber, Yeardon used to call
hitn his tail. Nothing delighted
Yeadon fnore than a pun. I once
said to him lie'a as "my mentor."
lie was pleased with the expression,
and afterwards introduced
me to Mrs. LeConte as his
* tclemachus." Thereupon Mrs.
LeConte said your " tall Amicus."
This pun was treasured up by him,
and repeated often in my presence.
Whilst a member ot the Legislature,
he kept house o; c or two sessions.

of friends to dine with him. On
one occasion, after tlio cloth was
removed, and the wines were in
tree circulation, Mr. Yeadom
stinok the table will* the handle
of his knife to call the attention of
his guests, and said that he had a
curious document to rend them
which was written by his friend
Perry, tei. or twelve years previ
ously. My curiosity was some
what excited to know what it was.
He then prefafted by saying, that a
client of ids wfU once in Greenville
and employed n.c to transact some
law business there. Th'e client's
wife having died before the busi
ncss was perfected, ho had to employ
him to do the business over
ugajn, for which he charged hi mi
one hundred and fifty dollars.?
'l'he client complained of his
charge, and exhibited a receipt of
miue.tor precisely the same services.
After receiving his fee of
one hundred and tittv dollars, he
begged his cl ient fori he receipt I
had given hiui for the same services.

I was once dining with Mr.
Yeadou at Mr. Poinsett's, when
Yeadon with great feeling remark
ed tlmt his. greatest mortification
in lifo, was that hib political principles
and judgment as to the true
interests ot Smith Carolina, had always
thrown him in opposition to
what seemed the public sentiment
of the State, lie loved his State
as much as any of her son*, and
would sacrifice himself tor bor as
quickly its any one. And yet, all
lus hie, ho hud been taunted as a
snrt of traitor to the land of his
birth, when he knew and felt that
his love for South Carolina, hud
alone urged hi in to pursue tiie policy
lie did. |u 1800 and 1851 the
political excitement in South Cur
iiua in favor of secession and dia
union became so violent and over
whelming, mat every newspaper
in tiie State yielded to the popular
storm and the Charleston Courier
amongst them. 1 was grvatly

Tne proprietors ot the Charleston
Courier determined to direct its
fottue course,, and save its paripn- !
age. Mr. Yeadon was not respon
sible tor its summerset. Tins
muzzling tuo press and silencing
all opposition to tho revolutionary
movement of the State by a systurn
of terrorism, determined a tow
gentlemen In Greenville to*start a
Jjxjiott papef and bid dctianeo to

was manifest that thoitsMiids of the
best aifcd most intelligent men in
the State sympathised with the
movement inf Gregnville, and at

that ^ large majesty of the State
was opposed to sepasato seeession.

How to Acquire a Fortune.
Thero is, even to a child, something
faciuating in being rich and
great. Men toil and struggle night
and day to make a fortune and 1
gain - a name and place amongst
the honorable of the earth. 'lb?
aim of every noble?souled boy is
to bo an honorableand useful man.
How can he most easily attain the
object of his desires? In order to !
be regarded by others' as a good j
and great tnan, he must first be
good ami great. If he Require
property, that will give him posiLion
in society and infiueuce over
his associates. Hence, it is the
duty of every boy to use all law~
fill endeavors to acquire some pro- 1
property. Evervbodv should have
Something that, in a legal sense, is
his own. Thero are other things
that give a man position in society
and lender him useful, as well
as property, and thoy are easier
acquired. It is not very easy tor
a poor bay to make a largo fortune
when that fortune oonsists-in laud
and nfioney. A good practical ed
1 ncation is in all civilized countries
more remunerative'thdrV'aliytliing
else. An education whiclf will cost
in actual caslj not more than tit- ,
teeu hiirulied dollars, will yield to
its possessor, if he is moral and
upright, an annual income of one
thousand dollars. This, a business
man would say, is a good invest
rnent. Ben. Franklin was a poor
boy. II?8 aim, when a boy, was
to make a man, ' This ho accom

influence was felt all over the civilized

one hundred dollars a ybar saved

without any loss of furnitnre and

Tiik Way to Taxe It.?THere
ire different ways of taking a joke.
I3ut evidently the right and philosophical
method is to receive it
with becming good grfce and
;$ood humor. Whenever we do
ihis we place before lis a shield
from which the pointed witticism
glances, and falls harmlessly to"the
ground. The pungency of a joke
exists in n great measure in the
mortification and bad grace which
characterizes the victim of jocose
allusions. And the perpetrators
of jokes lose half of the enjoymojit
of the occasion when in a spirit of
situplo good nature we receive
i ho harmless shafts. The .worse
possible deed that a lady or gentleman
could commit in this con nection
is to 6how temper. A nod
to the wise is sufficient.
Wjuat Makes ? ?It is not
the best things?that is, the things
which we call best?that make
men ; it is not the pleasant things ;
it is nut the caliu experience of
life-; it is life's rugged experiences,
its tempests, its trials. The discipline
of life is hero food and
there evil, here troubio > d there
joy, here rudeness and there even
nes9, one working with the other;
and the alternations of the one and
the other which necessitate adaptations
constitute that part of the
education which makes a man, in
distinction from an animal, which
has nb education. The successful
mau invariably bears the mark of
the struggles which he has had to
undergo on his brow.
Croup.?This is the season for
croup?a disease that requires immediate
relief, and oho that often
proves fatal where miles have to
be traveled for a physician, us in

My boy, there is no place oh earth
for a lazy inan or a lazy boy, except

lounge along the whole throe score
years pnd ten ol their unprofitable
existenco only to live unrospooted
