TO CANVASS THE RETURNS OF PERSONAL PROPERTY OP ABBEVILLE COUNTY. Who They Are and What is Expected of Them. The returns of thevarlouR Townships will be forwarded to the Township Board of Ah sessors by or before March (Jth; they will then haveunt.il March 121 li for examining the re turns. Try and forward the returns to tills office by the 12th or 13th of March. It In clearly the duty of this Board to scrutinize each return carefully and to see that each item of property listed thereon is assessed at its true market value. There is no rule to return property at fi6% per cent, of its actual value. Where parties are suspected of having credits above their indebtedness or any o.ther character of property that does not appear 011 their sworn return, it is the duty of the Board to enter such property or report the case to the Auditor for Investigation. This Is also the year for the re-assessment of real estate. I hope the Board will see to It that land is assessed at Its truo market value. For example, as it would sell at Master's sale. In every instance where there is a material change in the return of an individual be sure and notify the party,so that he may have the power to appeal to the County Board of Equalization. The County Board of Equalization will bold Its annual meeting in the Auditor's office, Friday. March 16lh. The work of the County Board may require more than a day.

JONES When I tell this story ray hearers sten with interest until I finish, and len look at rae and at one another 1 a very knowing way, as though ley said : "You may fool others, but du cannot make us believe it." [owever, if I tell you I saw it, you ill believe me, I hope. My uncle and sister and I were at in the garden one day watching a ttle toad, and ray uncle took a twig id very, very gently scratched firet 1 one side of the toad then on the her. The toad evidently enjoyed it, r he would roll slowly from side to de und blink very expressively. I iok the twig and did as my uncle ad done. If, thought I, he roll from de to side as I touch him, what ould he do if I run the twig down s back? I did so and what do you liuk happened? His skin, which as thin and dirty, parted in a neat ;tle seam, showing a bright new int. hf?lnw : and then mv ouiet little ad showed bis knowledge, for he mtly and carefully pulled off his iter skin, taking it off the body and gs first, and then blinking it over a eyes, till?where had it gone? He id rolled it in a ball, and swallowed i Unlovable Women. WortblDgton's Magazine. Beware of three women?the one bo does not love children, the one ho does not love flowers, and she who enly declares she does not like her women. There is something anting in such, and in all probability i place is supplied by some Unlovely ait. Men may smile and jest a little over nderness lavished on a baby, but ter all, the prattle every womanly Dmau involuntarily breaks into at the jht of the tiny beings is very sweet masculine ears. It was the first aguage they ever knew, and, in spite the jest or smile, the sweetest on ife's or sweetheart's lips. They may ugh, too, at the garden tools, which ems like playthings to their strength; it in their hearts they associate, id rightly, refinement of character id life with the pursuit of gardening, ad as for thewoman who does not re for ner own sex, and boldly avows she creates only an unfavorable imession against her own self for a keeping condemnation of a sex bich contains innumerable examples all that is beautiful and worthy in iman character. It is a Christian grace to have pleas* it and affectionate thoughts about en, to rejoice in their excellencies, id charitably |to forget, as far as may ), shortcomings. It is the attribute a pure and beautiful nature to have i eye quick to discern, and a warm ?art to honor, all this is fair and 'ightand generous in human nature, he words which discourage the char y mat "tniDKein no evil," ana give ?ennes3, if not malignity, to the dis?very of imperfection, are corrupt id unwholesome; they are not to be token by ourselves, and not to be jtened to when spoken by others. Faith sees worlds that arenot open i any other eye. It hasbeen well id : "The Holy Spirit can put an 'e of faith into the soul, and thur. ake the things of God manifest to it, i He did to the Old Testa ment saints ho saw things afar off." Burnt corn is reported to be a sure ire for hog cholera. It is said to have ?en discovered by burning a pile of >rn belouging to a distilery in Peoria, 1.

It is not one tremendous offort that will make us good but constant succession of struggles with little sins. It is not until we have passed through the furnace that we are able to know how much dross there is in our composition. He that preaches the gospel of good hard sense has an important mission to fill. Some men are more careless about the company they keep than they are of the breed of their dogs. The true road to wealth?make all you can, honestly, and spend less than you make. The more true religion a man puts in his business, the better, nobler and more permanent is his success. We love God because he first loved us; and we love God the more dearly because he has prompted one of-his dearly loved ones to love us also. If a man should register all his opinions upon love, politic?, religion literature, etc., beginning from his youth, aud so go on to old age, what a bundle of inconsistencies and contradictions would appear at last. 1 V ?Whatever else may fail, be sure that God's everlasting love will not fail?

All outward distress to such a mind is but as the rattling of the hail upon the tiles to him that sits within the house at a sumptuous banquet. We must do at onca, and with our might, the merciful deed that our band findeth to do, else it will never be done, for the band will find other tasks, and the arrears fall through. And every unconsummated good feeling, every unfulfilled purpose, that his Spirit lias prompted, shall one day charge us as faithless and recreant before God. The devil don't do half the harm to the church that church members do. Be honest. Dishonesty seldom makes one rich, and when it does, riches are a curse.
