VTe extract from the Working Christian the following classic no* tioo of Greenville : Athene of the Fotttk.?An elo<nueiit living writer, discanting on the glory ot the ancient Athens of "Greece and her political downfall, - remarks : 41 Let no one weep at her hill. Athens.did not expire vn the field of Chrcronca, when she h>Rt her political independence.? Thero was something in her existence which no conquering tword can destroy. Iler genius still lives, conquering the conqueror." This *4 something." this 44 genius," was the |K>wcr of Grecian thought and learning, which has held in sub Jection the enlightened nations of the earth for twenty five centuries. The ancient beautiful Athens has long been, with her noblest sons, lying in the dust of ruin ; but her influcnco will never <lie. Tlie frame-work of her exalted govern* tucnt, the work of her great statesmen, has inhaled the spirit of each { regressive age, and niled in each ?-nlightened nation. Iler bcautiInl and almost perfect language drank in the words of Jesus and his insp red apostles, and has ruled triumphant in the cluirch and in the domains of Polemic thought; while tne genius of her learning and eloquence has given life and Ijeanty to all later discoveries and i ; * I.- A i ucmevcmcniH 111 iiiu rvi <t> mi > | Sciences. Wbo, that meditates on these things, docs not rejoice as lie 8ienrs Greenville, of our own little Carol inn, called the*4 Athens of the South." The resemblance between Greenville ami ancient Athens must be very slight; vet there is a resemblance. The following verse snay suggest some similarity in climate and scenery : " Yet are thy akiea aa blue, (by eraga aa wild, Fweet are thy grorti, ami verdant are thy ftrlda, Thine olive ripe, aa when Minerva rmiled ; And atill hia honied wealth Ilymetlua yiclda. There the blithe bee hia fragrant fortreaa tnitda, Tha free-born wanderer of thy mountain air; Apollo atill thy long rummer gilda, Still, in hia beam, lVntell'a marble* glare; Art, glory, freedom faint, but nature a'.ill i? there." I Greenville is a lovely place ; bnt lier highest and most lasting l>eat:ty is not to he found in connection with hills and mountains, rivers .and cataracts, groves and gardens, handsome women and tasty resiliences ; hut in her institutions of Jcarning and pure'Christianity. The influence of learned educator^ and her noble statesmen has been already felt in tho St Ate and the whole Sonth ; and it is destined to have a still greater power in the land. Once the size and influence of Athens were no greater than that of Greenrilio. But both continued to increase until thev became the wonder of all people. Let our modern Athens f .How on. Let us build up our institutions, and send in the yonng minds and hearts to he moulded for future usefulness our land. To a Young Girl.

Among others was Mrs. Wm. Simpson, who was de scribed as unusually charming with orange blossoms in her hair, decollete dress and long tmil. When the account appeared it road in this wise: 41 Mr. Win. Simpton appeared it n u s n a 1 1 y charming with an orange box on his head, a discolored eye, and in his shirt-tail." Now, there is something about such a costume that does not 6avor of good eocioty; and it was diffi cult to make anybody believe that whatever Mr. Simiieon's vagaries, lie would have seen lit to attend an evening party with an orange l>ox on bis bead and nothing but a shirt on his back. As may be supposed Simpson was angrv atid hostile, and called at the office of the paper to know what such a shamctil description meant. The. editor exnlnined flint it was a typographical error, whereupon Simpson suggested the propriety of hanging the primer who made it in flout of the office as a warning to all careless compositors. The printer was discharged, of course, hut with the love of humor characteristic of the craft. I am sure he would not have foregone the pleasure of perpetrating such a juke for a dozen situations. ?? - 4 " Wanted, a Boy to Attend Bab"?The paper dropped from my hands as I read this advertise merit.

The more perfect his instruments, the more profitable are I hoy. So, also, it is with his working cattle, and his stock. The most perfect in their kind are ever the more profitable. Liberality in good barns, and warm shelters is the source of health, strength, and cotnfort to animals ; causes them to thrive on less food, and secures from damage all sorts of crops. Liberality also in the provision of food tor domestic animals, is the source of fleah, muscle, and manure. Lincralitv to the earth, in seed, culture, and compost, is the source of ! s bounty.
