Shllllto and has lived eVerslnev4. lie was a skillful nnJ practical tlUnpr by trade, and established himself in business here in 18M, and has been conllnn'ously before the people ever since-. Ry his tact, foresight and prudence he has been free from all business entanglements dttd embarrassments, and by his falrdenlings and upright course, commanded the respect and confidence of bis fellow-man. His Industry, sterling worth, and conspicuous honesty won for him an enviable placein the hearts of his neighbors, he possessed all the traits of c.hnvaeter that goto make up an (ton* ored and patriotic citizen.

We regret to learn thnt the Methodist Congregation at this pi nee have worked up considerable feeling among the members upon the choice of a location for their new oruan. To an outsider this seems to be an exccodlng' lySnnill matter, mid If we may be permitted to otter a suggestion we would say that any f>lace in the ch urch would answer every posslde use. Now let those members having better sense, better hearts, more mngnaminity, ? fti kptvp f lip HUU U x MI v-? -?. . ? in the most effective way, ykMd their preferences In a true Christian spirit, to those who may be more self-willed ami more disposed to have their own feelings gratified. Brotherly love, aud the love of a common can so make this demand in order that the unity of one of the finest, congregations In the State may be preserved. It would be better never to have *een the organ at all than to create a schism In the church. The Execution of Abram Martin.

The execution will be strictly Jtrivate, and no one will be admitted to the nil yard, except the family of thecondemned man and the Sheriff's guard.

I do not- need I prulse our women?they are known of all. I the days of darkness when the Confederal States, ringed in flame und dying ot a colli ion with superior force, was sinking slowly I Its grave, we all know that the women of tl land we love spurned every dastard who love life Letter than liberty,and underwent unto] agonies of privation for the sake of the loi cause. This Is not the annrourlate place f< further words in their praise" nor are mir the transcendant abilities requisite to tl task; hut !t is enough for mo to say that it but proper that they should he among the fir, to make a struggle to save independence < thought to a section which has lost indepem encc of action. And. therefore, we need in be surprised that Miss Maggie McNincli, warm-hearted South Carolina girl,has laid a offering upon the Litar common to all of 01 people. Her little volume lies before me now. I rich wine-colored binding, its clear-faced typ lt? creamy-tinted leaves, all make it beautifi to the book-lover and precious to the sight i those who sec in such publishing work as th the grey dawn of successful enterprise in 01 midst. The execution of the book would n< disgrace the Appletons or Seribners of tl North, and yet It comos from the hands < Virginia compositors, and from the press of publisher in the Old Dominion?those regioi of outer darkness, if some wiseacres are to 1 t>eli?ved. But it is such work as this which to redeem us from such slurs and to bring tl golden splendor of a new era to the South?a era greater than any preceding it; broad ati tolerant In its views, but firm in the know edge of its rights, and strong enough to prote them. It is not my purpose to deal with the poen which make up so large a part of the Waysl< Flowers.

No one but a woman could have writti it. A Ktrainof pure high pathos runs throua its every line, ami cold is that heart whk tills simple little sketch does not touch si most if not completely to tears. It is but winsome wee thing?a brief tale of a ministe young and of high hopes, ruthlessly jilted V a lade, and slowly passing away in the prln ol glorious manhood?but It takes the holi nature Into the sacred chambers of thehumr soul and shows it that, love is a something t< high by far to be the football of asballow flii It dares have a moral in this age when p? sons and politicians and all their ilk but t< often oiler up their principles for a mess pottage. Flirtation and coquetry are the e\ spirits which tie the shoes of lashionablo li to-day, and the little girl from among li native hills, pine-crowned and darkly risli to the skies, has dared tell, In no uncerla words, the evil consequences resulting titer from. Nor is this all. While we must adinl the courage which has prompted her, aven t! most dyspeptic critic cannot meet with an tiling which would not stand the severest tes of English rhetoric. Sweetly, plainly, simp the little story runs 011 like the brook vrhl* chaticrs along through dewy fields and und rustic bridges?sweet because the God-giv( kiss of Nature is upon its changing watoi and cannot be obliterated save by their d structlon, nor even then. So nat ural Is it th the feelings must respond, and thesurprisi reader finds the sympathetic tear tremblii upon the eye, or else moistening his che< wifli the healing dews of compassionate r gret. Poor Kenneth, farewell! We may It aside the Wayside Flowers but they will ne er wither so long as the lover of literalu mpy find there among them that most touc lug* proae-poem which sings thesuflering true love beneath the knifeof heartless at shameless flirtation. Another word, reader. You too have a du to perform. It is this. You must buy h I book for the sake of Southern litcratur I Here, as elsewhere, perfection Is realized o | of Imperfection, and even If it is examined I the mean and grasping light of bargain at sale you will lose nothing, for the story Kenneth and Bob is cheap at the price of paltry dollar. Buy her book and read It, ai by thus doing you will encourage, as yt should, the rising literature of a rising sc tion. Farewell. Fkank E. Andebson, March, 1SS1.
