STnee cirtte hewtm times one sel*
dorn visits an old familiar spot, as>
' eoeiated in nr. c.jrvory with prosper" ons
days, without beiog struck
with the sad chrjisres which follow
iuthe wake of war. But particularly
is it so, when after a protrac
lea aDi'encc we rciuru view a
plr.ee, where, in unbroken pleasure,
wV, passed the careless days of
childhood?days between which
and the present lies a gulf of passion
sorrows and regrets.
(J nge marks the progress of
rn?.n, and is often associated with
i'je pleasure of successes which
produce it; but as often tloes it
spring from dire misfortune and
reminds us of want and necessity.
The latter is more commonly ex
prienced in these days of radical
rule and the unlimited stretch of
conscience. I have never been
more struck with the . sequellae of
onr late waF, as on a recent visit to
the home of my childhood in our
once happy and prosperous low
country. Perhaps there is no section
of our snnny South where
nature has not been more lavish' in
her gifts as here among the lew
lands of ?olleton and adjacent
counties. "With lands as rich as
those of historic Egypt, a genial
climate, the most valuable and extensive
forests, filled with deer and
game, while bold and optic streams
water th^ rice lauds aud furnish
the finest fish. It once seemed
that nothing was here wanting to
Tnn/W n. nonnln nrosnerous and
" t z.~ r r
happy. Bat alas! what a change
has come ovei "the spirit of their
dream." As ivell might the darken
ell halls of death compare with
the liveliness of life* as would this
modern Pompeii with the spirit of
it- former days, when all was life
and gaiety, and where dire necessity
bows the .head in sad obedience to
a sadder decree.
Improvements, after leaving the
railroad are few and far between,
like oases in the desert. Feuces
and houses in the county town
(Walterboro) that rot and fall remain
so, until burned by the horde
of Ethiopian parasites that infest
the place. Many fine residences
are in a wreck of ruin, not a vestagc
of enclosure left, and cattle
graze where flower yards and orchards
flourished just seveu years
ago., '
This place was chiefly a summer
scat, where wealthly farmers and
planters .spent the sickly season;
In Summer the population was
about 2,500, in Winter greatly
rcduced by the return of the planters
and their families to their plantations.
It is equi-distant from
the S. C. and C. & S. R. R., an
inconvenience long felt.

not by his worth in gold and silver,

" Tefnpora mutaniur el ftos mutamur
o-im iUis. That a cloud of adversify
has darkened our sunshine, we all
ieel, for there is seldom much left
for u conquered people to hope for;
bat here there seems more to sadden
and less to encourage than in
any other section of our State.
Despite this, however, there are
gome who clo very wen, atm a very
few who having succeeded in making
.rice and cotton, have around them
many of the comforts of better
day?, These did not like Lot} look
back, but with the patience ol
>'oah "when persecuted by an ungodly
generation," surmounted
every obstacle with a heart for
eery fate; while the majority.JI
regret, forget the future in Sid remembrance
of the past.
This proves the fallacy of the
theory that all men were born
tqiial. We of the upper counties
know little of the troubles of this
"unfortunate people. With us "the
eye of the master" may make the
"ox fat" but then the eye of the
master is away when most needed,
at night and early mom in Simmer,
and this a necessity on account of
the great danger of fever 'during
this season ; hence Cufiie it left to
<io as he pleae.es and he invariably
pieces to plunder and destroy,
consequently the grunt of a hog or

Iiice. cotton, peas and corn are
the usual farm products with little
or no small grain. Long cotton
, was formerly planted exclusively;
but sin.ce the war, it has been
found more remunerative to plant
the short staple, which, when it
can be properly worked, produces
from one to two bales per acre.
This, however, is rarely done, as
Cuffie is the chance, ana is more
consuming than producing.
The soil is usually dark and difficult
of cultivation, requiring a
much greater proportion of hoeing.
I was told ihat since the war the}
have tried a system of cultivation,
but that it was invariably a failure
on account of the rapid and rank
growth of the grass.
At the close of the war a great
many were sanguine of success in
in farming, and judging the pres.
en thy the past, invested largely
with a borrowed capital in rice and
cotton, losing sight, it seems, of
the fact that Cuffie was a citizen
and nfiliticiian rather than a laborer.
This delusion was, however, eoonj
" dispelled, for even when a eiv>p,
was made, Cuffie harvested the)
. heads oft* the rice in the fields at
. night, leaving only the stra^ for
| the employer, and when he with
high hopes went to gather his gol'
den crop, it was all but the gold.
These failures produced a perfect
, retroversion, and soon bankruptcy
and the sale of land became as
. common as liens on crops are here.

land owner down there reminds
me'of the man who bought the
elephant, he does not Know what
to do with it.
These wealthy classes are as a
rule, much worse off than those
who were .always poor; wealth
and poverty seem to have shaken
hands, those who were wealthiest
now being poorest. This is more
strikingly the case with the planters.
.The sad iasne. of the war
was to those a vicissitude indeed.

in wealth and pleasure, having
nothing to do but to order and receive,
they are now incapable of
adapting themselves to the circumstances
by which they are.surrounded.
The change seems as groal as
the transit from palace to log hut.
"While those who occupied the
pine country stretching towards
Barnwell?once the poorest people
in the land, being tutored in the.
school of adversity had nothing to
lose or regret,, and much to encourage,
for with emancipation
came greater demand and better
pay for labor.
The negroes are as tltick
as black birds at harvest, and a?
indolent as' their necessities will
permit. This is much to be regretted
inasmuch as they could be
mnde a useful and appreciative peo
pie under proper a regime. As it is
111 this section^ of country, the
crops have to be guarded as closely
as a picket line from harvest until
shipment.
About the tc^vn negroes are
much more intelligent and with
few exceptions there are none over
the age of 12 years of age who
cannot read and write. They are
everywhere in this section more
civil and polite to the whites than
in the up-country.
Tn conclusion it gives me much
pleasure to state that "Rev. Edward
Palmer, father of Dr. Benjamin
Palmer, the great pulpit orator of
New Orteans, is still pastor of the
Presbyterian church at this place,
though now in his 87th year. On
the Sunday before I left this place
I heard him preach an excellent
sermon trom Romans, in which he
eloquently and beautifully portrayed
the conflict of good and evil in
the human heart. His figure is

Memory. ? We often hear of a
"bad memory," "a "treacherous
memory," but seldom of a "srood
memory." Why is this ? Is it because
some are more fatored than
others? By po means. Memory
is as susceptible of improvement as
the voice or any of the faculties.
We have bad memories because we
badly, treat them. Abuse your
brain, your eyes, your stomach, and
they will abuse you, the golden
rule tcgthe contrary notwithstanding
Neglect your memory, your
friends, or your stock, and you can
soon have poor stock, faithless
j friends, and a "bad memory."
Never insult your memory with "I
j can't trnst it. I rely upon my mem.
oranda." Throw your memoranda
j away. "When you wish your mem'orvto
retain anything, you must
impress that something upon jt so
forcibly that its photograph will be
there at all times for you to look
at. To do this, you- must first
make a p>od impression; and then
firmly fix- it?not in one corner,
I bat on the extended pages of what|
{will soon be your veritable memory.
Practice your memory as you do
your music. Frequently brush the
dust off every photograph in its
album. Kepeat stanzas, poems,
j etc. If you go shopping or to
jtown, first impress your memory
with the number of articles you

. Take a strong rope and fasten it
to a beam overhead; to the. lower
end of the rope attach a stick three
feet lori?, convenient to grasp, with
the hands. The rope should be
fastened to the center of the stick,,
which should hang six or eight
inches above the head. Let a person

chirty-five years, ana have been
able to increase the measure of

a free and full development

from consumption. Independently
of its beneficial results, the exercise
is an exceedingly pleasant one,

More than forty years ago, when

cure, the learned doctors of both
hemispheres drew up a prescription,
which was published (for the
working people) in the New York
Sun, and took the name of the
"Sun cholera mixture." Our contemporary
never lent its name to a
better article. We have seen it in
constant use for a number of years,
and found it to be the best remedy
for looseness of the bowels * ever
yet devised. It is to be commended
for several reasons. It is*not to be
mixed with liquor, and therefore
will npt be used as an alcoholic be-,
verage; its ingredients are wellknown
among the common people,
and it will have no prejudice to
combat; each of the materials is
in equal proportion to the other,
and it may therefore be compounded
