A Stirring- Appeal for More Energy and Greater Activity in Iiiiil<ling the Town. The creat and pressing need of our town at (Ins lime is a progressive, liberal business council. We candidly say, without the least ueslre to censure, and certainly without que.slioning the sincerity of tlie councils we liuve had for several years, tliat they have done little for the uu-bulldingand enterprise ot the town. At this particular time, when the knife is on the business nerve of the place and i the iron is hot ami ready for the hammer, we I believe it is of the highest importance thatl our people should rise to the occasion and demand with that earnestness born of despair] and hope that will take no denial, that our most liberal and public-spirited men should sacrifice themselves, if necessary,and assume the burdens of the town government. We need men w ho are not afraid to spend a little money, if it be for the good of the town. Our people will support a council that will take the reins in their handsand move forward. t'pon the completion of the railroad to this place the necessity lor much improvement will arise, and we should have no narrow or illiberal views if we are to reap all the advantages which the road will injure. Year alter year we have carried over hundreds of dollars and yet needed improvements are not attempted. Why keep money in the treas .. i, / lU <1 uh,>1,1,1 urj ; 11 11 o nub m? u\. .v not be collected. We do not collect too much, however, and we do not hesitate to say. that now. that so large a sum is raised by the license tax, the property of the town should be taxed proportionately and equitably in order that a good council may not be hampered in any attempts to Improve the place. Many Improvements will suggest themselves to men of ability and energy. We need a market house, where all meats, Ac., should be required to be sold. This would iimire a better market and be advantageous to the sellers. We need a splendidly macadamized street from the square to the depot, even at the cost of a good deal of money. We need an office, which could be in the market house, for the regular and orderly JineetIngs of the council. We netd a wagon j ard, near the square, where all vehicles and stock could be driven, with large sheds; this would protect the stock and remove from our beauiitul square much that detracts from its neatness. We should have less piddling on the .-treets, with several hands and a mule and cart, whose work does not seein to come up to ttie money expended;?and many other things too numerous to mention do we need. In u word, we want a nood strong hand upon the municipal reins of our town which will drive rl^ht ahead with enterprise and judgment. Give A. W.Smith a set of good wardens and the town will shake off the lethargy of the past and put on life and activity. TRUE ABBE VILLI AN. Contributed Locals. Abbeville, S. C., .Sept. 2, IS'JO.

Hetyy Haminger. who was convicted of | rape at the last term of the Court will not he j executed on Friday next. His counsel. WalI ter li. Miller. Esq.. has served notice of ap| peal, which under the law operutes as a stay ! of execution. Among ihe various grounds of appeal we notice an exception based upon the fact that his Honor, in charting Ihe jury as to the several forms in which they nilclit iind a verdict, failed to mention the very important one of "not gulltly." Another ground of appeal is as follows: Because his Honor in charging Ihe Jury that their verdict, should he one of Ihree forms, 'guilty.' 'guilty under the second count,' and 'guilty of an assault and haitery of u high and aggravated nature.' No reference being made to a fourth and additional form of 'not guilty' passed upon the facts." The ease will be heard at the Fall term of the Supreme Court. Mr. Miller was not retained as counsel until the Court had convened. Counsel expects ultimately to succeed in his case as lie in justice should. The case has excited considerable Interest and quite n number of disinterested persons who heard the case tried hclieve that the verdict was wrong, and are urging counsel to do all he can in the prisoner's behulf. AUGUSTA'S NOTES. What a Pretty I.ittle I.ady Writes About. Augusta, Ua., Ancr. ::n, isoo. Augusta is no longer reckoned as one of the sleepy cities of the South, but is one of the most progressive In the country. Col. Dyer, president of the clcctric railway hns completed about fifteen miles of the road in the last few months. The people of Anguslacan leave Suinmcrvllle and run out toTurpin Hill, a distance of five miles for live cen ts. The fruit crop in Georgia has been very poor this season. Our merchants are receiving their fall stock of goods. The cotton Is opening rapidly. The poa crop Is excellent. Corn has turned out well. Sweet potatoes were never better, and the outlook for business Is good generally. Only one more excursion to Tybee, when our chances to visit the seashore at the popular rates will close. Cotton receipts for to-day were 1121 bales, and sales 974. The receipts for the cotton year just closed was over 200.000. The death of Hon. Clay Foster, which occurred at Ills home Wednesday evening, removes one of the ablest members of our bar, and takes away a distinguished* citizen of Georgia. MAUD. DEATH OF A LITTLE CHILD. X Mother's Touching M ortis in Reference to the OcHth or Iter Babe. Mrs. J. H. Peak, of McCormlck, notifies us of the death of her idolized Infant, with the request that we publish a notice of the same. Her own words in telling us of her sorrow, which we reproduce here, are a better expression of the heart than anything that, we could write. Only those who have passed under the rod, and have suffered similar losses, kuow how truly and how deeply, this sorrowing mother mourns for the child which was dearer to her than life Itself. .She says: On last Tuesday evening at7 o'clock we had the painful duty of giving our precious little darling and only child to Jesus. Litt'e Nellie, our blue eyed baby, our beautiful angel, has been transplanted to a fairer clime. She, our baby Nellie, was nine months and twenty-two days old, and it was, oh. so hard, to give her up, even to Jesus ; but Goil, who doeth all things well, aud who makes no mistakes, has comforted my heart, aud I bow in meek submission to bis will, knowlug that he does all for the best.

A riddle full of truth To puzzle vain and giddy youth, Yet those who know the scriptures well, Can easily this riddle tell. Ueneath the heavens acroature once did dwell As the sacred writers unto us do tell; He lived and moved in this lower world It is true, But sin never knew. He never shall in heaven's kingdom dwell, Nor doomed to sutler pains In hell, Yet in him was an immortal soul, Which must be doomed to hell Or live amouf the just. CARD FROM DR.

The Men Who Stay.?Young me clianics make a very egregious mis take, says the Builder's Gazette, whet they begin to think that they do to< much for their employers when thej work a few moments overtime to com plete a small task they are performing just at the time the whistle blows t< quit work. More young men hav< been kept from receiving an advanc< in their wages from this than fron any other known cause. 1 ? ?? 4-/-kV* 4-KA tvtAMAmanfo A JMiipiuyera wnivii tuc uuTciucuia v? young men very closely, and the leas little thing oftentimes places them ii an unfavorable light before their ein ployers. It is the young mail wh< studies the interests of his employer and is not afraid to give him a few mo ments, that gets the rapid advance ment. He is the young man selectet when there are any favors to be grant ed. I can tell in twenty minutes in anj workshop the young man who is mos likely to succeed in his trade. He ii the last to leave his work, and is al ways prompt in beginning it. Thes< fellows that drop their work at thi moment the whistle blows, are always the ones that the employer is ready t< disci arge when business gets a littl< siacK. The young mau who takes the inter est of his work at heart, and lii9 em ployer into consideration, is very rare ly laid off in slack times. Hill Climbing.?"I faw two girL with their escorts walking up Corey Hill, yesterday," says an observer o girls. "One of them went up like ? rubber ball, bouucing and bounding ai every step, chattering briskly to hei companion as she went and stopping now and then to pant a little ana takt a fresh start both with her bounding way of walking and with her chatter Presently' her friend came quietlj along- She was letting the young mau beside her do the talking, and sh( was mounting the long hill witL short, inelastic steps. She used hei neeis as wen as ner ioes in goiut? uf hill." It is a good rule for hill-climbing and one to be remembered in going upstairs. Women doctors say, and many women prove it in practice^ that by going upstairs slowly, witli the foot?heel and toe alike?put firmly on each stair, one may arrive at the top of four flights of stairs really rested, instead of gasping for breath as when one runs upstairs. Going upstairs i6 a good form of exerci.-e if one goes the right way to get its benefits. Boston Transcript. One of Solomon's wise sayings is that "a good man shall be satisfied from himself." (Prov. xiv : 14.) Such a man has the sources of happiness in his own spiritual condition ; and these he carries with him wherever he goes. He is anchored in God, and on good terms wun nun ; auu iuis uuk mui is to him a perpetual fountain of joy. How easy it is for the Lord to abase our pride, to humble our self-confidence, to bring to naught our fondest plans and most cherished purposes and then upou the wreck and ruin of all our hopes. He can lay broader foundations, and build for us better than all our plans, and show us that He is a tender Father, and a gracious God, supreme in power, boundless in wisdom and love. - - Shall Baby ? "When shall I begin to discipline my child ?" is a question which every mother ought to ask. If I say it is hardly possible to begin too early, many will be surprised, if not incredulous. x "I never punished a child before it was two years old," said a dear old lady to me when my first baby lay in niy arms. "1 don't iutend to punish at all," I replied ; for, like most inexperienced / persons, I had fine theories in regard to bringing up children. "I hope you wont need to; but 'Iu Adam's fall, we sinned all,' you know," she said, with a hearty laugh ; thinking, no doubt, that a few years would teach me many things. While my baby was "in arm9," my theories were delightful; but, with creeping, trouble began. The things that lie ought not to touch were the only attractive ones, and most fascinating of all was the book-case. Nothing delighted him more than to lug away till the books tumbled out upon the floor. Persuasion and argumeut were of no avail. "No, no" and "Ba by naughty" were greeted with bright smiles of utter indifference. I began to fear that the child knew he was not doing right, aud that this knowledge added an element of mischievous pleasure. But what waa to be done? I taxed my ingenuity, but I could not keep my child away from the books. Must I give up to a baby of a few months? I nsked myself, ashamed that my theories had failed in the crucial test. Suddenly common eense came to the rescue. A dozen times I had carried the little thing away from the scene of conflict, only to see him creep back, with all speed, at the first opportunity. Then deliberately I threw my theories to the winds, and gave the dear, chubby little hand a smart slap. Such a look of surprise and distress ! It nearly broke my heart. Then a change came over the face, and, with a defiant look that said, "I will," again he attacked the books. Again I slapped the hand ; then I took the sobbing ba by on my knee, talked with and quieted him. When I put him down this time, the books were safe; he would not touch them. The victory was won, I thought, with a sigh, for I was tired out with excitement. It was a relief to conquer, but the method was a trial. Then I remembered that our Heavenly Father teaches obedience in ways quite as hard to us as this had been to. my child, aud I was comforted. Whenever, after that, my baby crept to the books, a decided "No," or, at most, "Mamma punish," was suffi1 1, L: 4. ~c ? , uieui to hteu mm uut ui ujis^luci. The battle had to b? fought again in regard to other things?the poker and tongs, the album, the piano; but in the course of six weeks, I felt safe to tuke my baby anywhere. In the midat of costly bric-a-brac I had no fears, for my child had learned the ' grand lesson of life?obedience. "How do you manage?" a frieud asked me, as we were preparing to. leave her house after a two days' visit. ^ "Much as I wanted to see you, I will confess that I hesitated when I J thought of the child. My cousin's litI tie boy was here a week, and I couldn't , tell how many things he ruined." "Has your cousin ever punished her i child?" I asked. t "Oh, no ! Why, he isn't three years , old yet." I smilea and did not won | tier at her troubles. f There may be some mothers who can spare the rod without spoiling the j child; there may be some children [ more easily influenced than mine; but t for the majority, I do believe some j punishment is necessary, and the earI lier a mother begins the less of it she . will have to do. "Wait until the j child can understand," but who can r :ell how early a child can understand ' the difference between right and wrong? Experience has taught me that if a baby learns to mind before he . 'learns to walk, by the time he is two years old he will have settled into a * l-kU , uauiti ; _ Golden Bale Arithmetic. t "Phil," whispered little Kenneth ) Brooks, "I've got a secret to tell you ; after school." ? "Nice?" asked Phil. i "Yes," was the answer?"nice for me." f "Oh !" said Phil, and his eyebrows t fell. He followed Kenneth around \ the school house after school to hear . the secret. ) "My uncle George has given me a t ticket to go and see the man that eats . tire and shakes eggs out of his hat, and . makes canary birds fire off pistols, and 1 all that. Ever see him?" "No," said Phil hopelessly. "Well, it's first rate, and my ticket j will take me in twice," said Kenneth t cutting a little caper of delfght. * "Same thing both times?" asked DMI i. 1111* 1 "No, sir ee ; n3\v tricks every time, j I say, Phil?" Kenneth continued, 3 struck with the other's mournful look, ) "won't your uncle George give you 2 one ? "I ain't got any uncle George," said . Phil. "That's a fact; how about your . mother. Phil?" "Can't afford it," answered Phil, with his eyes on the ground. 3 Kenneth took his ticket out of his r pocket and looked at it: it certainly f promised to admit the bearer into Moi zart Hall two afternoons: then he t looked at Phil, and a secret wish stole r into his heart that he had not said r anything about his ticket; but after a ? few minutes' struggle, "Phil," be r cried, "I wonder if the man wouldn't change this and make it two tickets r that would take you and me iu one r time?" > Phil's eyes grew bright, and a hapt py little smile crept over his broad lit tie face. "Doyou think he Mould?" , he asked eagerly. "Let's try," said Kenneth ; and the . two little boys started off to the officewindow at the hall. "But, Kenneth," said Phil, stopping [ short, "it aiu't fair for me to take your . ticket." . "It is, though," answered hisfrieud, ! stoutly, " 'cause I'll get more fun from , going once with you than going twice . by myself." i This settled the matter, aud Phil gave in. "So you want two tickets for one time ? said the agent. "Yes, sir,,' said Kenneth, taking off ins sanor nai 10 me great uiuu? uuo for rue and one for Phil, you know." "You do arithmetic by the Golden Rule down here, don't,'you ?" asked the ticket man. j "No, sir, we use Hay's Practical," answered the boys ; and they didn't know for a long tiniQ what that man meant by Golden Rule. Robert Southey asks, "Whence is it (that wars still disgrace the self-styled , Christian world ? It is owing to the ; doctrine of expediency. If Christians j had boldly looked in the face of their ! duty, as developed iii the New Testajmeut, this senseless and infernal sysj tem of wholesale butchery must long I ago have ceased."
