TT JLUU Character Building. A little hnv watched dtv bv dav the building of a house across (lie street. ? His father, noticing it said to him one ' day: ' "My son, are you going to be a bricklayer?" 1 "No, father," he answered ; "I have ' been thinking what a little thing a brick is, and yet what a great house 1 they make of it." What a summing up this isof a great fact in life! It is not ^reat thing*, but 1 very many small things that make up j the sum of life. It is out of the daily j thoughts and deeds, insignificant as many of them may appear, that a beautiful and strong character is built, i Sometimes there will come a great str.tin or Jest of a man's character. This will show of what material# it is j constructed, and how the meterials arej put together. Character buildiug proceeds slowly,! but goes on all the time. Every day j i some of the work is done; for every I day's thoughts, words, Impulses, pas-1' sions aud deedsenter into the building, j i Every young person should see that the materials entering: into his structure and the construction itself he of i the hest, so as to be capable of sustaining any strain that may be put upon it i in life.? Exchange. There is nothing gained in the govi eminent of children by threatening flint iu tint nprfonnpH Thp futility of the habit of saying to a little i one that if he is not good, the mother! will do so, and followed by the fail- ] ure to do it, was well exemplified the; other day. In reply to the remark,: "If Mary is not quite, mother will) have to put ou her hat and g<j, away," j the three-year old daughter said, | "Mamma, I jes' wish you would godis time."

The scientists of France have been investigating the rapid increase of alcoholism in that land, the historic home of wine. A9 a result, the French Academy of Medicine, oue of < the mo6t illustrious scientific bodies in the world, has adopted a series of resolutions, not only delating that the drink evil has become a "permanent danger," attacking "the very life and force of the country," but layiug stress on the fact that even the purest alco- 1 hoi is "always and fundamentally a poison." 1 The reward of one duty is the power to fulfill another.

Then, again, since a very large part if all drugs in use are botanical, they aave in the pharmacopoeia the same r,n ? + l>n i?a { n KntoniT I ho Jtliurs mat lurj nave in uwtuuj?imv icientific names. Two-thirds of such jrugs havn't any English names, and jo couldn't be written"in English. But suppose a doctor did write a prescription in English for some uneducated patient. The patient reads it thiuks he remembers it, and so tries to get it filled from memory the suc:>ud time. Sunnose. for instance, it jailed for iodide of potassium, and he ^ot it confused with cyanide of potassium. He could safely take ten grains af the first, but one g ain of the second would kill him. That's an extreme case, but it will serve for an illustration. Don't you see how Latin is protection and a safeguard to the patient? Prescriptions in Latin he can't read, and consequently does not try to remember. Now for a final reason. Latin is a language that is used by scientific men the world over, and no other lauguage is. You can get a Latin prescription filled in any country on the face of the earth where there is a drug store. The worst that can befall a boy is to have the liberty to stay out late at night. This is too often a fatal privilege, be cause it is mosiiy during me nours 01 the night that all mischief is plauned and executed. The boys who are permitted the freedom of the public streets at all hours of the night are the boys who fill our workhouses and bring sorrow upon their relatives aud frinds. All parents should keep their boys off tne streets aua at tiome at nignt. One of the bad habits into which a young man is likely to fall is that of spending his time 011 the streetB when there is nothing there of any special importance to him. This is an age of progress, and for people to be able tn meet the demands of the different kinds of business they must spend their time at some profitable employment. Thousands of good books are being published that are worthy of the attention of any young person, and time is too precious to be spent in wavs that have no tendencv to elevatf a boy to something graud, noble aud profitable. If only 40 per cent oi the time that i9 idled away by younp people could be spent in good reading or something of like character, w< would have scores of giant minds, anc the calls for men to hold places of in tluence and respect would not be s( numerous and loud.

A few evenings since, I heard a lady say to a gentleman caller, laying her hand caressingly upon the shoulder of a boy of ten years : "1DI8 is my nine man. ne never uses slang, never swears, never said a saucy word to his parents in his life; does whatever lie is told, and is a boy his mother can trust implicitly." "Ah," said the visitor (who is a man of extensive business relations), that is the kind of boys men are made of!" And he immediately commenced casting aooiu to see ir ne nau not neea of such a boy in his establishment. There were several situations he could offer, but the mother shook her head, smiled aud said : "No, he is in school now, and I want him to tit himself for the highest position he can reach." When the visitor was retiring he saia to me nappy parents : "Such a boy is beyond price, and you are rich in your possessions." Now little boys, what do you think of such a boy? A boy who never swears, never uses slang phrases, nor .is saucy, nor disobedient, and whom I his mother can trust? Did you ever think how much that means? "Whom his mother can trust!" Tin vriii b nnur tliuf. if to Mio liiirhpcit j recommendation a lioy can carry into ithe world with him? It means so much, and only what is good and worthy of aspiring to. And this little boy is not a pale "goody-goody" boy, who exists only in storiep. He is a bright, manly little fellow ; loves his skates, his marbles, his ball, and, oh ! dearly loves to play ! And sometimes it is a great trial to . leave his sports and run errands that seem always to claim nis time. SALE OF PIMM, PROPtTY.

Despite tbe fact tbat reference is somen met had lu the newspapers to the "leadlDg news papers of South Carolina," we believe It If true that South Carolina has no leadlug news paper, and we also believe that tbe edltorla conduct of the dally press of this State woulc warrant tbe belief that no newspaper li South Carolina aspires to be a leader of thi people. A newspaper that might hope to be a leadei of the people must be fair and courteous t< all tbe citizens of the Slate for whom It li printed. A great newspaper while holdlnj fast to principle, truth and honor, regards tbi feellngB, prejudices and Idiosyncrasies o those who differ from it on questions or pub lie policy. When a newspaper descends from tbe hlgt pedestal on which a leading newspaper sboulc omuu, auu |cio uuttu iuiv i uwo auu kuium mud and slime at any considerably portloi or the people It cannot be truly said tobei leading newspaper. While Its lufluence may be lelt In tbe cir cumscrlbed field Id which It labors, and wblli It may have some followers, yet If It does no command the respect and goodwill of tbi public It 1b In no sense a "leading news pa per." How can It lead a people against wbon It fights, and for whom It expresses con tempt? The people want a Just paper, aDd tbej have a right to be treated fairly. Tbey havi a right to expect other than tbe partlzai boosting of one side and despicable abuse o me omer. Our newspapers are good enough parlizani and they seem to be satisfied with no iilgbe ambltloo, but we believe thai do dally news paper in ibis State has sought the higher grander and more praise-worthy position o leader of tbe people. And do State in the Union could be In mori need ol a leading newspaper than South Car ollna. Tbe people of this State are In want of i brave paper that will present the Issues fair ly. They are tolerant with newspapers whlcl have convictions. They respect tbe edlto who Is honest and outspoken, even If the; uiBHgree wuu uiui. South Carolina needs a leading newspape ?a newspaper that will treat country peopli with respect?a newspaper tbat Is not so tbor oughly filled wltb self-conceit that It bas n< respect for bis county brethren. South Carolina has been surfeited wltl mud-slioging and character-destroying. South CaioliDa is tired of having all sort of charges made against ber trusted officials and the people cannot and do not have prope respect for newspapers tbat are forever mak log charges, so Tar us the proof is concerned tbat are not true. Perhaps a hundred chargei ? possibly a thousand ? have been mad< against the Reform administration. WUei put to the test, has one of the them beer proved true? Can an honest public have pro found respect and confidence In newspaperi that would assail character and make un founded charges ? II the public doeB not hav< tbe highest respect for persons who assume to be detectives aDd who really find offenders how shall they respect newspapers that are constantly assailing character, and as often falling to bring tbe proof?
