Is back again rested and . ready for business. Mr. Vlsanska, for a number of years, has made It a rule to take a month's rest In tbe Bummer. Tbfe relaxation, the cbaoge of eenery and tbe different association Is beneficial alike to bis health and to hip tired brain and body. He thinks that all active workers that have passed middle life snould take a rest. They can usually do more work In eleven months than in twelve. In speaking of Mr. Visanska's return, it may not be amiss to say something of hlsj |TWI IUCVWI M UU1IUW un>M, ... ? wonderful work In bonding up tbe city of bla Adoption. He came to Abbeville about thirty years ago, bringing with blm $1,500 of ready money. He rented tbe tore room now occupied by Uie Ueaara Thomson Brothers, for wblob be paid an annual rent of *700. He opened a stock of goodi and bla efforts were amply rewarded. Slnoe then tbe Arm of P. Rosenberg <t Co., tuuf gone steadily forward along tbe road to snoceaa for themselves Individually. Their ifxoetlent Judgment, together with their pubFlo aplrlt, baa made tbem an important feeor in all that baa tended to tbe welfare and ipbulldlng of'the elty which they love so ivell, and whlob olty baa been so mncb bene itted by.their presenoe. Some idea of their suooesa in a business way < nay be bad when we express the - belief that bflr wealth today exceeds the combined * veal tb of any four or five of the other richest gen In town. ? Some Idea of their public spirit and of their ralne to tbe material growth of tbe city maybe I ifd when we say we believe there is not oday any fifteen men in this city whose comlined contributions to the pablio enterprises | if tbe olty would exeeed those of P. Rosen mix A Go. Tbey hate bnjjt mora atoretooaaa and own more real eatate and more lock In tbe botel of which we are all ao irond, than any fifteen other cHlieae.

Following tbe dvloe which tbe Lord gave to Ah ram about oing into a far off land, Mr. Visanska's sons, istsad of living in tbe abadow ol the pareo- 1 il roof and instead of spending tbelr patrl- 0 tony in idleness, were sent off to col- 8 ge and when they returned from the lns i- 1 lUons ol learning tbey went oat Into the 1 orld, depending npon their own resources to h jnqaer an honorable pkce among the sont n f men.

In all these ear* be hUa been a man among men. Poaesalng a well defined oharacter ar.d having ironounccd convictions be was not reluotant ospeak bis mind when occasion demanded. Jo matter what may havei been the oppollion In tbe days of his str ngth of person ,nd character be bad the courage of hlB oonlctlonr. In bia early life, or until be was about fifty . ears of age, be was a splendid speclman of landaome manhood; his manner and bla eraonullty at once pointed him ont aa oue rbo stood far above tbe level of tbe oomnon herd. In bis career, In hlB labors, In bts straggles ,nd In tbe difficulties which be met we have onsplcuous and pronounced evidence of the act that If a young mt>n has the ability and he ambition to rise above tbe apbere in rhlch be was b >rn, be should bi$ak away rom tbe envnonment wblch handicaps him, ( ,nd go Into new and uuknown fields of en leavor, where he will be estimated oy nis iwn worth. An uneducated man with ability, and fixdness of purpose will succeed any where, but neb a man will sncoeed lar better when way from those who wonld pot a stumbling lock In his way and who would drag him lown, If they could. A man who Is bom In t olrcle of rich kindred and educated friends , rill always be supported aod held up not tot only by them, but by the fawning Iglorantpoor. But let a boy that Is born In he ranks seek to raise himself above the ommoo level, the chances are that he will tave edoooragement only from those who nay be regarded as the higher and the beter class of citizens. The probabllty Is that f hose of his own kindred and of his own ae- i oclate nslgbbors who should be proud of his ( mcoess, will be the first to fall upon him and ear him to pieces.
