As long as you make drinking respec table, drinking customs *.vill prevail, and the ploughshare of death, drawn by ter rible disasters, will go on turning up this whole continent, from end to end, with the long, deep, awful furrows of drunk ard's graves. Oh ! how this rum fiend would like to go and hang up a skeleton in your beau tiful ho?so, so that when you Opened the door to go in, you would Bee it in the hall; and when you sat at your table, you would see it hanging from the wall; and when opened your bed-room, you would find it stretched out upon your pillow ; and, waking at night, you would feel its cold hand passing over your face, and pinching at your heart. There is no home bo beautiful but it may be devastated by the awful curse. It throws its jargon into the sweettst harmony. What was it that silenced Sheridan's voice,- aud shattered tho, gol den tceptro with'which he swayed par liaments and courts ? What foul sprite turned the sweet ryhnie of Robert Burns into a tuneless bubble ? What brought down the majestic form of one who awed the American Senate with his eloquence, and after a while carried him home dead drunk from the ofliee of Seere'ury of of State? What was it that swamped the noble spirit [of one of the heroes of the last war, until the other night in a drunken fit, he reeled from the deck of a Western steamer, and was drowned ? There was one whoso voice we all loved to hear. He was one of the most classic orators of tho century; People wandered why a man of so pure a heart, and so excellent a life, should have such n sad countenance always The}' knew not that his wife was a sot, Fatal Avarice. A Camden lafo of avarice and miserly privation^urpasses fiction ui strangeness, avid sctiuj. ?hm-dly credible.. Two old maids of that town, rich in dollars, had liv*d together for nenrly a generation in their aucient, gable end mansion, bolted and barred from all intercouso with the outside world, lest they should be robbed of the treasure they hoarded so carefully, and mailing only occasional sallies from the looked and darkened house to pur chase the scant necessaries which they begrudged themselves. Kot long since the strange sisters, then nearly eighty years of age, purchased a. house upon a dindent street and moved their goods into it. Days uil'.l weeks passed, and the neighbors, discovering no ts\gi-S of living inhabitants about the place, deter mined to fathom the mystery, and with that purpose took police aid and effected an entrance, when a fearful .scene met their astonished gu7.e. In a sitting pos ture, on a ragged, filthy bed, was one of the sisters stark and cold in death, while in the opposite corner crouched, mutter ing and mumbling, cold and starving, the other, wko, with the ruling passion strong even in tho presence of deathj shrieked out, "You've broken in our house aud come to rob us!" exhibiting fear and anger at tnc intrusion instead of delight at what should have been a welcome deliverance from the horrible situation. The poor wretch was taken to a place of comfort and cared for? I though she is not expected to recover. A coroner found.that the deceased hag came to her end by "cold, starvation, and neglect." The Dollar.?The w^rd dollar, so familiar to ^is all, and so important to most of us, conies from the German "Thai," which means "valley" Now by what process can you imagine this word has been made to mean a piece, or sum of money, worth iuour currency one hundred cents? The dictionary clears up the mystery. "Thai," meaning valley is pronounced in German much like our word Uill. From the year 1547 to 1526. the counts of Schlick, an old German family, were accustomed to coin peiecs of money of about an ounce in weight, and worth SI.13 cents of our money, in the small town of Jonchimisthnl, (valley of Joachim,) in Bohcmin. The pieces were called, from tho place where they were, "Joaohimisthnlcr." Thi.r word ?.va* afterwards shortened into "thaler," and still later becamo anglicised into our word dollar. A Singular Character. An old member of Louis XVIII'a body guard died tho other day Lea Batig noIlcs. and was interred at the cemetery of Montmartre. He wai one of those characters that are mere often met with in uotoIs than in real life. His accom plishments were various, lib execution on the violin was only surpassed by his skill in drawing, and both by his talent for versification. This universal genius, Who was nicknamed ''the artist" by his comrades was onepf the best swoixhmen in P iris. His lovo of dueling was such that, notwithstanding all his science, he received many a rapier thrust. One day in particular he fought three duels for the following cogent reasons: the first was with a gentleman who looked at him askew, tho second with an individual who looked Urn in the fucc, the third with a passing stranger who had not looked at him at all. On meeting a cit izen who had the week before lodged his rapier in his ribs, tho indomitable duel list observed to a friend who was support ing him: "Npw, there's a fellow to whom I must administer auothcr good lesson one of these days" A Vanished Illusion. One is almost sure to bo disappointed when he first enters the interior of Jeru salem. However carefully he may have prepared against surprise, he will scilrco ly escape it in more directions than one. The filth of the city ".fill surprise and aunoy him. One who comes to Jerusa lem from Egypt can endure a good deal in this direction ; but even lie will at tained to a high degree of equanimity if he docs not occasionally lose his temper amidst the superabouuding filth of this city. And what ie wor.se, it seems to gather most about the most sacred places. You cannot with any comfort approach 'through the hazaar of tho cotton mer chants?what was doubtless the "Beau tiful Gale15 of"the' temple?without indu ing your breath. The Mohammedans while guarding with keenest vigilance the sacred'enclosure from the pollution of infidel feet, seem quite regardless of the intrusion of filth. Yet it must be confessed that the Jewish quarter of the city is quite as unclean as any part of it; and it often gives one relief, when trav ersing these dity streets, to think that the Jerusalem of the Bible lies half a hundred feet or more beneath the present surface. Industry Its own Reward. Anything we make up our minds to do we can do. There is nothing inipossi dlc to be done by a determined, persever ing effort, and nothing of importance can he accomplished without it. It was la bor that built the pyramids, by labor the arts and sciences were brought to their present state of perfection, and labor is necessary for the health and happiness oi all. Industry is the law of our being, and we are so constituted that when the law is fully rccogn zed, it brings its own reward. Bodily labor is not the only kind that is necessary?mind and body should be exercised. In this way cheer fulness and contentment are promoted, j and wc are prepared to fill with honor any station assigned us by Providence. ^Ye often regard the doom pronounced on man, "In the sweat of thy face ?halt thou eat bread," a curse, but it is really a blessing, for wc find that all rational enjoyment follows in the train of indus trious labor, whether physical or mental. A Threatened Evil. The Philadelphia Commercial List is alarmed at the prospect of the future of the American youth. It says that in nearly every trade there is an organiza tion, generally called a Union, which says that only a certain number of youths shall be intruded in that trado; that when instructed they shall work in strict accordance with the rules of the associa tion, and that no matter how great their skill or natural aptitude for the business, they shall have no greater wages than any idle dissolute bunglers who has been admitted into the organization. Here, in the very centre of free government, we see an organization whose purpose is to destroy freedom of choieu of business in our youth, who restrain skill and tal ent, whose purpose is despotism nnd whose practice is tyranny of the harshest anu most depressing character. 'Coder it the vast "majority of our youth must grijw\iip in enforced idleness, the bright csc! intellect must be hidden-and deprived bf^dcvelopment, and thousands of busy ins, courageous hearts and strong i, whose labor would enrich theni 'es aud increase general properity, be ted to the merest manuel labor and ives of degradation ignorance and paeit Line Upon Line. iha editor cf tne "Courier," Louis bufg, N. C, finds fault with farmers thereabouts because, in common with too many, Southern agriculturists, they "han dle money merely in the capacit) of agisnts for "Western pork raisers." He. oitld have them adopt the better system oflgrbwing less cotton and more corn. Tmswduld fill their barns with yellow galin, their fields with cattle and flocks ot'shecp, enable them to keep their legal tenders at home, and give them a feeling of independence which cannot well exist when they have to rely upon strangers and.speculators for their support. The "Courier" points out that their is as much bfiney and considerable more profit in fewer cotton bales ; that every pound of | mSit the Southern farmer buys .from re mote* iUai'kets lowers the price of his grlnt staple and r.dses the price of pro viiflcns. These things have been said before, but the editor has no faith that hrsgconstitucnts will, heed the repeated cafi? On the contrary} as he affirms, "U|ey- have learned to travel a certain ro$ji and are not to be convinced that tli&o is a better way." |}W.e handle brickbats to stop the ra ty'of Satan's agents, (the hogs) that ^otoken Orangeburg. t Importance of Reading. * .

The Sumter News says Governor Mo ses is going to buy the State House and grouud. We hope so, it will only cost two or three million dollars or so to re pnir, and we know Governor Judas Mo ses will be able to raise the "where with al" to put it in Preston like order before his term expires. Ave rather like it; its internal improvement for "our beloved State/' and by a native Governor, too, of course the public spirited press will commend it. Now, if it was a carpet bagger, we would condemn it ; so would the entire press of the State, for he might carry the State House out of the State, and rather grave consequences would follow. The Lcgislatuie would have no where to meet, but by Moses buying it, he would with bis U6tial generosity lend it to the Legislature occasionally. We bet our money on the natives. Death. "We have all to die. How often we hear this expression from saint and sin ner. But it is really the best sentence the ehristian can use to convey the idea of entering bis long looked for home? Is it not a blessing to die, rather that wc may have perfect rest ? Is it not the v ny that God has wisely provided to take his children home? Decs the Christian real ly look at his passage to glory as a drudg ling task which must be performed? Wo know many of them do not; yet j some of the more nervous look through darkness into heaven, but is it not caused from the gloomy way of which death is spoken rather their own rational judg meat ? Had wo a near and dear earthly friend in a far off land, would we hesitate to brave the rolling billows and the stormy seas that we may see that dear face, to grasp the hand, to hear that lov ing voice ? No, we would deem it tho greatest privilege. Christ has gone be fore ; tho way is clear to our heavenly home; then why should we shrink frora,| it? Should it not thrill tho soul with joy to think of meeting that Saviour, in whose blood we have been washed, to meet him face to face whom we have long seen by the eye of faith ? Is this not enough to light our path to glory? The credulity on ?romau on the sub ject of being loved is rery great; they often mistake.a common liking for a par ticular regard, and on this foundation build up castles in the air and fill them with all tho treasures ef their bright hopes and confiding love, and when some startling fact destroys the visions, they feel as if the whole creation were a blank to them, and tiiey were tho most injured of women. It is safer to be very skepti cal on the subject of being loved; but if | you do make tho mistake, take all the blame to yourself, and save your dignity by secrecy, if you cannot keep from lov ing Repipb for Killing a Town.?The Kingston Gazette speaks truly when it says: "To kill a town, underrate every present and prospective public enterprise, speak ill of the churches and schools tell everybody the hotels are "bad," enlarge the vices of the people, especially the young people; withhold the patronage from your merchants and tradesmen, and buy your goods aud groceries at some other place; and by all means go to the city for your milliuery and such like; never subscribe for the local paper, and if you uro hi business, refuse to adver tise." Congressional. Senator Sawyer will soon introduce a bill creating a body corporate and politic by name of "Southern Homestead and Emigration Company," with power to lease or purchase large tracts or bodies of land anywhere within the United States Territories, und to survey and di vido the same into suitable farms or homesteads of two hundred acres more or less and erect thereon such buildings as may necessary to convenience and com fort of families living thereon. The bill further grants usual authority to issue bonds, sell stock, &c, and prescribes a manner in which its business shall be conducted. The object of this scheme is to give Northern capital a well guaran teed opportunity for investment in that section. The list of iucorporators will include names of most prominent and re liable men in the country. Itow to JDkess.?One of the most im portant things to be considered in dress is the careful covering of the chest and back. Exposing the lungs by inade quate shielding of these portions ?f j the body from the col l ie too gene rally practiced, especially among the ladies. To cover the chest alone most carefully is not enough. There should be a thick covering bei ween the should ers". Why he Did It.?The steamer left on Saturday, and on Sunday, they en countered Very tough weather, which made nearly all the passengers as well as some of tho vessel's employees sick.? Among others was a stout gentleman, who was gasping over the sido of the steamer in a painful manner. At this moment, a sober, solemn-faced person walked up, and tapping the stout geutlo man on the shoulder, in slow, measured words, inquired, "are you Hick, sir?" The response, came quick and to tho pur pose, "yes, you tarnal fool, do you 'spose I'm doing this for fun." Earthquake Fun. Tho Oregon papers are making fun of the last earthquake in that region, for it affected persons in quite different ways. A young gcntlcn.au and lady were out walking at tho urne. About ball an hour uf.er, they returned from their prom enndo and then learned, for the first time, that anything unusual hadoccured. People rushed imo the street scantily clad. One loving husband, who bad ?'just stepped out to see a man on busi ness," rushed home with a billiard cuq , that he had forgotton to replace, in his baud. His wife has vetoed all business engagements after 8 o'clock,. P. M. Tho next little item we take as we find it. One irascible gentleman jumped from bed scantily attired, possessed himsetfof. the cor/bide, and made for the room'of his boys-tip stairs, and . rushed into it, exclaiming, "I'll .show you how to be ' fighting at this time of night." A. Faithtot, Dog.?The Nashua (N. EL) "Telegraph" relates, that not long since a Newfoundland dog belonging to a family was left for a lew minutes in a" room with an open grate, in which7 was a child just old enough to creep. Tho' child crept toward -tne fire, and the dog, who apparently saw and understood the danger, at once laid down between the child and the fire, and remained there! until the mother come to the rescue. Tho. hair was4>urned from the dog's side, and his body was blistered, and yei, noble do; that he was, he did not budge. It b an historical fact that during the three hundred and fifty yeans that the Palace of the Tuileries has been a royal dwelling, no French sovereign has died, within its w?lle. In connection with this* fact another may be mentioned.. Ever since 1588, every French sovereign wlio has made the Tuileries his abode has. been compelled, at some time or other, to quit the shelter of its roof. . wl An old fellow who was noted through, the town for his stuttering as well as for. his shrewdness in making a bargain stop ped at a grocery and inquired: "How m-m-many t-t-turkcys have you' g-g.gnt?" ? ? "Eight, sir," replied the grocer. "T-t-tough or t-t-tender?" "Some are tender and some tough," was the reply. "I keep b-b-boarders," said the, now. customer. "P-pick out the f-f-four t-l toughest ones, if you p-p-p-please." The delighted grocer very willingly complied with the unusual request, and said in hb politest tones: "These are tough ones, sir." Upon which the purchaser coclly put hand upon the remaining four and ex claimed: "I'll t-t-take th-th-these!" To Removb Warts.?Tincture of Cau tharides, with some drops of Tincture of Ioidiue; apply to the warts with a small brush or a little slick, three or four times a-day. In a few days the warts will dis appear. Speaking of Gen. John C. Fremont and his recent stock operations in Paris, the Louisville Courier-Journal says: The best analysis of bis character was given some years ego by a California stump or-, ator who styled him, "A statesman who never made a Bpeech, a General who never fought a battle, a Pathfinder wfto' always lost hb way, and c millionaire not worth a continental," A healthy condition of the mind is largely depending upon a healthly cour dit ion of tho body. As upon the former condition depends the quality of the work we perform, "wo should remembsr that every act of carelessness or indulgence which interferes with our bodily health deprives us of some of our brain power, and tends to diminish our happiness iu life. ".You saved my life at tho battlo of Mnlvern Hill," said a beggar to a cap tain. "Saved your life! How?" said tho graecful^ofiiccr, giving him a quarter. *'I served under you, and when you ran away I followed." I What's whiskey bringing?" inquired a l&rgs dealer in that article. "Bringing men to the gallows, and women and children to want," was tho reply.
