McLean nas many elements ol* strength, which his competitors will do well to respect.

The following was cuppea irom lhe Columbia Register of last Fri. day, and unless the governor interferes today, Myers will hang toniwrrow: Frank Myers, colored, who was to hang in Georgetown to-dayhas another week of life, at least. The Governor yesterday granted him a respite until next Fri 'ay. Perhap9 the special reason for .the respite is one that has never occurred before. To-day is Good Friday, and, as is the custom with all devout people of the Episcopal Church in Georgetown and elsewhere, they attend services in the church to-day. The church happens to be next to the jail, and if the execution was to take place to-day at the appointed lime the crowds of negroes and those morbidly curious would interfere with the services. Mayor Morgan .1 --j? .L. wrote mat unuer ine uircuuisiaucfs he thought it would be best to postpone the execution,as he felt certain that a large crowd of negroes would be present and it would take an extra force of constables to preserve order. Under these circumstances the Governor readily issued the order for a respite. GREELEYVILLE. Spring is quite upon us now and nature is enfolded in a mantle of emerald beauty.

In an old book,dated 1S20 thereis the following curious love epistle It affords an admirable play upon words: "Madam:?Eost worthy of admiration ! After consideration and much meditation on the great reputation you possess in the nation. I have a strong inclination to become your relation. On your approbation of the declaration, I shall make preparation to remove my situation to a more convenient station to profess my admiration; and if such oblation is worthy of observation and can obtain consideration, it will be i an aggrandization beyond all calcu" - - - - - " ; lation of the joy and exultation of yours, Saxs Dissimulation*." This is the more curious answer;' 1 1 i "Sir:?I perused your oration with mn?li deliberation at the treat infat-1 nation of your imagination to show such veneration on so slight a foundation, Hut, after examination and much serious contemplation, I supposed yonr animation was the fruit of recreation, or had sprung from ostentation to displey your education by an odd enumeration, or rather multipliacation, of words of the same termination, though of great variation in each respective signification. Now, without disputation, your laborious application in so tedious an occupation deserves commendation and thinking imitation a sufficient gratification, I am without hesitation, yours, Mary Moderation." ?Rural World. True pride is a good ihing. Il inspires higher motives and better actions, tfiit lalse pride is Dad. Some people are proud because they possess a little mute of this world's goods than their neighbors; this is pride ot wealth, and is a false pride. Some are proud because they are better educated ?know more ?than their neighbors. This sort ot pride is not so bad; but if such people would only reflect how little they know in comparison to what is to be known, they would better realize bow little they have to be proud of after all. Some people, though poor, are too proud to work. This is mean pride. Work is honorable. The idler is no use to himself or herself or to anybody, but is a dead expense and burden upon honorable people who earn a livlihood and have an excuse for living. A few people are as 4i proud as Lucifer" without having a solitary thing to be proud of. They have neither wealth, knowledge, or wis dom. They are poor, proud fools. ?Kinston Lree Press.
