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

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.

Death in the Pnlpit?{Singular and

Tlie Rev. Benjamin Eaton, first
and onl y rector of Trinity Church,

with death while stnn()ing in his

laying his bony hand to the right

clammy b-oath on the cheek of
beauty, and watting the silver

and as lie saw that his time had
come, his words struggled for utterance.
lie faltered. His weak
oning limbs staggered. A gentleman
who advanced to his assistance
was waved buck. For ten
minutes more he spoke, his word*
only audible to those near him.?
The excitement of tlio audience
was fearful. Three times lie struggled
to continue, saying i I am
very sick, but I must pay." Ago in

j What a Typograhicul Blander did
for Mrs Simpson.
The Now York correspondent
of the Cincinnati Times, writes :
A tew evenings since a reception
was given at tho house of a
well known merchant in Lexington
I A fAttitA o??/l no not ni<nl ??no n 11
anvi ua a iia.'iiai i vouu
one of llies so called society weeklies
undertook to chronicle, in the
millinery and innntna maker style,
the 44 distinguished" persons who
were present. 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.

Iciirned to drink, to swear and

Ah ! inv lad, or whoever yon are
who may be tempted by such a
call, let me tell you that you may
better work in the field, or at a
forge, or digging ditches, anything
honest, than to degrade yourself'

So, also, it is with his working

Liberality in good barns, and

Having tried every system oi

ally endorse the following from r
iorreapendent of the Prairie Far
ner : I mean, try cultivating yonr
t raw berries in stools. For once
idhere strictly to the plan of cut
ing off every rnnner and keeping
lown all foreign growth, every*
hing except your plants. Let me
uiviiUI vnn to apl?*ot tlm fiir.fomoH
Wilton'* Albany. Select a good
liece of ground, about sixty feet
:quare, and put It in excellent
iltli. Then take a garden line
hat trill reach across it, and at
snrly in March as yon can, or first
>i April, get good, strong, well
rooted plants, nnd put them out
by the line, two feet apart each
nay?spreading out the roots fan
diapc?and cover up to, but not
over, the crown. Work this plant
every ten days during the growing
season : and about the tnid
tile of December following, scatter
some kind of seedless straw
nil over the plat ? plants nnd nil?
about two inches thick, as a win
ler protection, and let this straw
remain over the bed until about
the last of Mnrch following; a*
which time pass over it with r.
pitchfork, and move the straw
from the crowns of the plants on
ly, leaving it all around and under
them as a spring and summer
much, which will keen ilio olanto
moist, and then vonr work is done
until bearing season is over.?
Cultivated in this way, }-our bor?
ries will l>o inncb larger and the
yield enormus. If the season
should bo a good one, yon will
gather from a pint to a quart to
the stool. After they are done
bearing, spade up the bend?straw
and all?and keep it clean of runners
and filth, as you did tho season
l>cfore; and tho following Do
cembcr nppty fresh mulching, and
so on from year to year, and your
bed will last in fine condition for
many years. Try it once, and
you will never adopt any other
plan. Pull off all blossoms the
first year. I
