I'ntil you y use 10 have such large representation in the courts, Jti the jail, and in the penitentia-'v, you are not competent for Ihe I.euMat: vc ha'iN.

If you ever oxpo.-t to make useful . nud worthy citizens, you must cea-e from committing crime. There were now a'?oi:t. Mx or seven hundred prisoner* in the j#?.ni-i tentlary, anda large propoition of them were colored men.

The Judge said lie would no: email on the county the necessity and expense of support- ; in;; them, but would send tliem whore their lvbor would be equivalent to the expense they had put the State t;>. J !c feared that tney were hardened in crime, and what lie had said was intended mor? for the benefit oi the few of their color who were present. That their Rice seemed to have monopolised j crime so much, that it had become di>-1 graceful for others to do so.

Tlie .ludw sdd ] that he didn't know whether it was good pol- j Icy to indict such people as the pri%oner .ves, for such offences or not. When he was Solici- , tor he brought, no meh indictment. That the ' law was expensive, and that the prisoner cost [ tiie county fifty or sixty dollars, maybe more, but nevertheless he hail been indicted and' convicted of a dirty crime, that h.s had aban-1 doned tin* svife \vi)n luui borne himscvi-a ehil-; dren. and with whom lie had lived with since; the days of sUvery.

The only true happiness, was in living at! honest, virtuous and industrious life and those who violated the-e would 1 be certain to come to grief. He wisheil that tiie marlial relations were more observed by J the colored people and iie hoped that Starkes ' example may teach others a lesson. That he had been singled out. lie supposed because bis j; was an aggravated case. That if sonic good ' man in his neighborhood would pay tils tine!; of 510d, he would be released, and he would j llnd that these neighbors were tiie only ones who would befriend him when the test came, j that they were the ones they went to when In i calamity and distress, those whom he had !' been in antagonism with for years.

The Judge then j turned his attention to Alex Itamey, telling j him that he had escaped through a technicality, but that he weut away us a marked man,!; and as a known thief and burglar and that liejl had nodoubt,if he did not reform speedily he would soon be in the Court, of Sessions ai/ain, |. when he need expect uomcrey and would be : punished to the full extent of the law.

Pearson preached a most practi-1 cal and common sense sermon in tin- l'lesby-i teriau church last Sunday night. lie took as his text the words found in the loth chapter of St. Mark,and 3d verse, "Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepul-; cure." The speaker narrated how the two; Mary's thus addressed each other on their way to the sepulchre, for they knew that the stone was great, and beyond their power to i move, and drew from it the inference that many of us anticipated our troubles, and crossed the bridge before we came to it, that ' our present troubles and trials were as much > as we could endure, without courting and an- j tlcipating others, that if we put our trust in God did our present duty and go forward like these two weak and feeble women, we would find as did they, when they came to the sepulchre, thai the stone was rolled away. That the Tact that they had lost their .Saviour was' a great enough trial for them t'> bear without murmuring and expecting trouble as lo who would roll away the stone. The lite of the' Christian was beset with troubles, eares and I snaics, i>ut if they persevered in their good | work, like the Christian in liunyan's 1*11-1 grim's Progress who beheld two fierce and savage lions directly in his path,by faith continued his Journey and as he approached i them found that they were chained, so we j find thiit. mir troubles and nernlexitiesare not: ti8aggravated hs we imagine tin m to be. 'J'lio f greatest and most dllticnlt of all lite stones to be rolled away he said, was the meat sin of unbelief, which nothing but the sijjht of the Cross was able to roll away. The sermon was plain, Interesting and appealed lo one's coin- ! mon sense, ami Is, as are all such sermons, I calculated to do much good. Tiie Literary Club Held a meeting lust Friday night at. the house j of Mr. L. W. Perrln. In the absence of the President, Mr. \V. A. Lee. Vice President J. j \V. Perrln was in the chair. This was the: quarterly meeting of the club. The following I otlicers were elected by acclamation : J. W. j Perrin, President; O. T. Calhoun, Vice Presi-| dent. Kev. R. N. Pratt read a most interestlug essay ou the lie vised New Testament,and one which produced lively discussion. Mr. J Pratt had ceitalnly given his subject careful consideration, anil the members of the club | tnanKcu mm tor me pleasure anu inwruiu-j tlon ho hod given them. The majority ol the club were of the opinion that the Old Testament was good enough lor them, and showed i their preference for It because connected with ! so many hallowed associations. The opinion j was expressed that the Revised New Testament would never take the place of the old, and would never become general in its use, but would eventually flsd its place, where it properly belongs on the desk of the scientific and profound scln lar of Biblical knowledge. The next place of meeting will beat Mr. l?eBruhl'K with Judge Cothran as essayist and Mr. L. Wardlaw Smith as his alternate. We suppose, of course, our merchants will eive their clerks holiday on the S>inst as hristniiis falls this year on Sunday. The clerks} are diligent in business, und deserve one holiday, a year especially, at Christinas festivities. Wo imagine that tiiereare nopeople in the world, who have so little recreation from business and so few seasons for enjoy-1 ment as the Americans. There Is an old sayiug that all work and no play &c., Ac. Let us not realize this in regard to our clerks, and i by all means close up on Monday, and let us I oil enjoy ourselves.

I have seen Ihe American, who, ordinarily would reli-icuslv sci/.o she c?lestial t>y his piu-t>iil and dump him into the 1'uciiia, at one of Ihcss church fairs actually give whole do.lars for his chris- [ tiatii/.ation. i thin!: I am sat" in saying that th:'e<"fourihs of the money raised lite present' i year for church purposes, in this part of the county, aside from ministers salaries, has; been raised by ihis plan. Aside front the ma-j tcrial aid tier!veil, these fairs arc productive of very many tood results, which arc not to j be ignored in the social make up. The pleasant fraternization of those of dill* rent Christian faith is promoted by the commingling :tnd the exchange of amenities and,kindly so-j L-ial graces, the ties of friendship, are mutual- j ly strengthened, the coinpeiition incident to public exhibition encourage tine art work among the ladies, and the younger heads and hearts receive a tuition here thai is hardly acquirable outside of simitar occasions. As this Is a typical fair, the reader will possibly be interested to accompany me for a moment into tlie densely crowded hail. It is fairly an omnium ffiil/untnn of faces. Faces like rose-buds, aglow with the poesy of childhood, wry fact s and faces of queenly mien, faces of wrinkled crones and stalely matrons, faces that suggest the grotesque caricatures some time seen in scare crow statuaiy and faces whose exquisite) loveliness can nevei etude the soul's camera? | faces that spoke inspirations all the way from ( Utopian dtcanis of love to a dish of oysters, i We are in the midsi of what resembles an vnirrpiit of merchandise. On the right sever- | at pairs ol ganders fir- ct us with discordant! vociferation. Along Ihe Me pigs impatiently j s<|tieak, turkeys gobble out their disgust and | iiiii in us iii.'kc a iiismai cacu cum nation. jiclightful aromas mingle with the atmosphere ami :it every step we encounter pretty sales? I girls with wait its lailcn with exquisite cakes ami conli etlotteries. Now we pass in front of a triumphal arch profusely draped with a rich ' and infinite variety of dainty ornamental 1 ami fancy work. We are dazzled by the rcchr. c/ic and elegant display of handieiatt and turn with pleasure to the bright, piquant; faces of the artists. The post otliee is presided > over by two charming young ladies. 1 his is ) emphatically a star route as <1 may well be on ! the qui lia for extraoidinary developments. j The period of realini'-re.-t is marked by the J beginning of thcauction. in the rulcot aue-1 Hom er Mr. ('.
