M., the literary address. by Kev. j. u. uauoway, 01 Yoritviue, ueiorea well-llllcd house, cannot be too highly commended. Suecess of life was, mainly, the gifted speaker's theme. Laying tiie foundations of character in experimental religion, lie showed that, uilh will -.and work, the superstructure of success could not be a failure. So strong and impressive, so replete with cultured style was the address that, we learn, the repoiti is present sought a coppy for publication. Yorkville may well feel favored by so gifted a minister in her midst. ? A eclipse of the moon wiiloccuron the2Jn of July, and will be more interesting than the one of January 28th.

Some months ago there was a Young Men's remperance Union at tliis place. I.ike till itlier good associations it flourished for only i short while. Why did it terminate a failiire? Simply because the older people and members failed to attend its regular meetings, riiey will always come for a short while and Ja-n ease themselves away as quietly as possible. Whenever young people see that older m es are evading doing good work they most nvariably use their influence against it too. IVIiere is there a single instance in t lie annals >!'history that tlie young have failed to do [heir duty to <?od when led on by their ancestors to do right. We see day after day ivhere neglect upon the part of the old to do heir duty leads to the destruction of the foung. We can mention a great number of men In mr city that lias been much bene tiled by lies? temperance unions. Men that had trown old and gray haired and were slaves to :lie bottle after joining the temperance union jppt their vows sacred to od and to man. Whore arc tho officials of tlie Temperance Union of our town of tho year 1XS7? What tre tliey doing? If they are still alive let hem c>mo forward and prove themselves noiwo ,?f mirl to fix anso of Christ. "Let tiicin come salth tile Unci." We need a revival 011 temperance ind we want It to come. Wc see and feel its leed, so let it come. 1 f yon seo a man drownng and see possible chances of your laving him and don't do it the life of that nan hangs upon you an everlasting itigtna. lid us have a temperance revival? There was preaching In our Presbyterian ihurch on last Thursday evening by Rev. lobn McI.ees. On Friday evening by Key. rlasseii, of Cross Hill, S. C. O11 Sunday uorning Mr. Iiassell preached an excellent icrinon on "moralism." His ideas and argunents were very clear and convincing. He lid his subject due justice. We think the executive committee showed ,*ery Poor taste in selecting Hodges, S. ('., as in appropriate place to hold a .State campaign neeting. While there is no people upon this rartli more hospitable than those of Hodges uid community and none more ready to ihow their hospitality than they are, yet we liink a place should have been selected vhere there are better railroad facilities, vhere people from all parts ol the country :ould cotne. It only suits the people of Abbeville, Greenwood, Donualds and Cokesbury, vhile there are numbers of others place* eft out. So Tar as grounds, water, etc., are jonccraed, 110 better place could have been :hosen than Hodges. A great many of our people are making ^reparations to attend "gala week" in Greenville. This will certainly be a big advertiseneat for the mountain city. Honey Williams, Jr., colored, was very bady hurt last Saturday by falling from a lumicr cur.

Whether the I crowd is big or little we expect to dine it, but lis this is a dry town, will not wine it. The Indies of the Presbyterian and Methodist churches will during the day furnish, for a small consideration, to all desiring such luxuries, cake, ice cream, Ice lemonade, Ac., and as their receipts will be devoted to a worthy object, benefit of their respective churches, we bespeak for them a liberal patronage.

A few days ago a tap was found about one hundred yards from where the buggy stood that night, supposed to tie tiie long lost one. Theaverage litlledarkey seems to be almost proof against lightning. Another instance to record, this time at Mr. L. C. Mauldin's, last Tuesday, when two of them were knocked down under an apple tree, but they were up and agoing In a few minutes. A new wrinkle in evolution, a sort of cvoluting backwards. A nut for Dr. Woodrow, or anjr one else who chooses to tackle the subject and throw some light upon It. A few evenings since several gentlemen were discussing the subject for the special benefit of a darkey present, and when the idea was given that we sprang from the monkey, said darkey took issue with us, and said thut he believed that Ihe souls of the old time darkles went Into monkeys, as he had seen monkeys that looked exactly like some old niggers that lived long time ago.

Up to the past twenty-four hours the weather has been extremely warm, the thermometer most of the time up in the nineties. Since then we have been blest with refreshing rains. Dr. and Mrs. J. A. Gibert, of Bordeaux, spent several days last week with Mrs. Dr. Taggart. Mrs. Barksdale, of Macon, Ga., is visiting her daughter, Mrs. J. S. Johnson. Mr. and Mrs. M. P.

F OLD VIRGINIA SCHOOL, write for a cat( Extracts from Lowndesville Advertiser Politics and Religion. As a State and a nation, wo are verging on a period in our history when the moral stamina, and the professed civilization of our country, will be thoroughly tested. Nothing brings out so vividly the exact attainments of a people, as a political campaign. It is becoming (rightfully so, too) a test of the solidity of a man's religion. This is one of the best signs of our times. There is nothing more absurd and pernicious in tendency than the opinion that a man's public administrations or acts are entirely disconnected from his private life. It sounds childish and is the outgrowth of a false idea, to teaeh a distinction along thi9 line. You sometimes hear men talking against a man's carrying his religious sentiments into politics, as though they were to be totally distinct. The unthinking, and the corrupt politician always talk that way, but the man of reason, who knows and feels the worth of life, and the inseparable relation of every part of a man's character, knows better, and in spite of all to the contrary, he knows that a man's political acts, and religious principles, are conjunctive. You cannot separate them. The one is an index to the other. A man's political views, and the exercise of his right of suffrage, determine beyond question what he is religiously, despite all he may profess to the contrary. Any individual act determining public weal or woe, does as much to fix a man's religious worth, as any act between man and man. The feelings of friendship, or the promise of nnmhirmtion. or the old secret custom of "you tickle me and I will tickle you," cannot palliate the offence of a man in compromising his religious convictions, for the sake of political intrigues. We maintain the ground, that a man's politics and religion are inseparably connected, and that whatever he is in the one, he is in the other. If he makes his religious convictions first, and those convictions are intelligent and high, then he will aot and vote politically in the light of his religious life, but if he puts politics first and, at least for the time being, sells out and compromises bis religious convictions, it will only be a matter of time, when the man will regulate all of his religious life, upon the same basis. Our politics and religion will be in quality as educating and elevating in fluences just what we make them by our personal acts, and individual lives. Vote as you pray. If a man is a friend, and there is much about him you like, and yet you know he is not whathe should be religiously, and tbat he is defective in his sympathies and aspirations concerning certain lines of action, necessary t) the promotion of the best interests of the country, then as a Christian, you ar6 duty bound to look out for some man who will represent, and take care of this interest, although you are not in your social relations half so familiar as with the other. It takes backbone?it takes grit?to act upon this high plane, but it will take the exercise of this to . bring the needed reform, if it ever comes, and now is the time to act. Vote for no man who is not known to be in hearty sympathy with all the intellectual and moral interests of the country. If every religious man in this country will carry his religion! with him into this political campaign, 1 and to the ballot-box, then you will begin to see reform and progress, indicative of the pcrmence of our Christian civilization. "Tote Fair." There is something quite significant in the slaug phrase "tote fair," when applied to dealing fairly with each other in political contests. It is a phrase which should be kept in mind by a great many political partisans, candidates, and newspaper editors. If there is anything in the world to be deplored, in the world of public affairs, it is unfair means, and measures to defeat an opponent. It is damaging, for the time being at least, ' to the good name of the man you oppose, and it is a certain injury to the man who inflicts the unjust wound, 1 It is as much taxation 011 the better feelings and moral sentiments of a ' man's life to deal unfairly in the political realm, as it is in any other. We should first of all find out, as best we can, a man's character?what 1 he is in his intellectual and moral attainments, and whether he is a wor- 1 shipper of parties or principles?and if lie is a man of integrity, and equipped ' for tlie position sought, then he should 1 have the full benefitof it; antlif lie is successful, the man feels that he is the 1 1 1 friend of all, and that he is not called 1 upon to resort to tricks and deceptions 1 in order to strengthen his hopes of oflice, and make successful his public 1 administration. "Tote fair." This is the method which makes a country prosperous, a people harmonious, and ' a government permanent. It keeps down prejudice, makes up sympathy, and the high attainments of the ser- ] vant of the people, in integrity, hon- 1 or, and devotion to principle, becomes < worthy of imitation and public appre- ! ciation. I Let the great word right be the motto i of every man, and, acting on this basis, men are not half so apt to err, i and if errors are committed, they are i more charitably criticised, and more < |easily corrected.

If a man, who would be the servant of the people, has defects in his character and they are known to be defects in his character, then it is fair and right to give publicity to them ; but if he is all that the highest and best judgment of the best thinkers of the country demand, and if altogether worthy of the position sought, then we as an opponent deal with him fairly. Never attempt to hatch up objections against him which are not real, and thereby place him nnder a cloud of suspicion which is altogether unfounded. The man that does it will form the habit of defrauding his fellows of their good names, and will soon bring himself down to the base idea that character is only a myth, and a good name cheap. Nothing he may do for a friend will ever condone for me wrong ne nas aonean opponent. If you would be truly manly, broad in view, and magnanimous in spirit, then, in politics, as well as anywhere else, learn to tote fair. Extracts from Christian Neighbor Power of Dlncrimnation. "I looked around my audience," said the old Grecian orator, <4and they had dwindled away?one ouly remained. But that one was Plato, and this was enough for me." The attention of one mind of worth was more prized than the listening ears of thousands of common ones. The appreciation of a few noble minds is always to be valued above the clamerous applause of empty pated men, that these latter are counted by hundreds. Too often a man seeks approval of some act or opinion, and goes to the "idle multitude" for it?all that is desired is a "backing,"?failing this he considers his cause a failure, being destitute of perseverance, and a determination to follow the right though he walks alone. A noisy indiscriminating chorus of applause is more to be desired by such a man than the "well done" of a few clear-minded, iiirlimmid thinL-oi'u ftuira Tloon Sinn. J UUIV1UUO UUIUIkVtUl W Ayvuftl UlWIl ley, "The heroes of maukind are the mountains, the highlands of the moral world. They diversify its monotony, they furnish the watershed of its history, as the Grampians or the Alps or the Andes which tower over the lowlands and fertilize the plains and divide the basins of the world of nature'. To be blind to this superiority, to be indifferent to these eminences, to think only of their defects or their angularities, is as depressing to the intellectual sense of beauty and worth as was that strange unconciousness of physical grandeur, which, in the last century caused Oliver Goldsmith to prefer the continuous plain of Holland to the hills and rocks of which he complained as intercepting by their deformities the views of the unfortunate traveller in Scotland." "Appreciation of genius is the next thing to genius," says another, and truly when we see the indiscriminate praise bestowed upon this thing, and the'equally unreasonable condemna tion which crushes auothfcr, one must place at high value the power of judging between the shoddy and the true, the half sincere and the genuine. Despite our glorious Constitution no two men were ever born free and equal, not in any sense whatever, except before the law?and there only theoretically, as witness the different judgment meted out to different men for the same crime. Admit that the great mass of mankind measure up to the stature of what is indefinitely termed the average man, but please do not deny to others a greater breadth and height. Remember the great dean'smountains, and highlands of the moral world which diversity its surface, and because these rise above you do not complain that they intercept your view?if you cannot attain to their height get what glimpse you can between the mountains. + ^m-+ ChnrleMton Improvement mid Hotel Company.
