Charleston wants to amend the dispensary law soas to exclude that city from Its operation. As Charleston has never respected tbe law, we see no reason for the passage of the exemption partot tbe bill. After Charleston has tried tbe dispensary law, and when It Is found undesirable will be soon enough lor an effort to exempt Charleston. We have found ibe law so good that we would be glad for Charleston to try It for awhile. ? They Don't Know How Good It In. Our Charleston friends do not know how good a thing tbe dispensary would prove for them.. If tbe foreign born gentlemen who L. ocntrol public sentiment, and who sell .iquor would try the law they would be pleased at tbe satisfactory result. There is no use of making an exception in the case of Charles, ton. Let our Legislators make laws for the whole State. "Msst Killed Father." Wesball expect to see the license newspapers throw stones at Governor McSweeney from this time forward. Tbe people of the I State will stand toblm.and be can afford to ! ? tklnno V/Utlr iOb bUlu|D iwa. When It la discovered that Charleston extended hospitality and civility to a Governor who favored the dispensary it will "most kill father." ' Think of Charleston treating a dispensary , ^Governor with kindness. Loohius; for Wild Cat Bills. I Senator McLanren propose* to remove the ] tag on bank bills. This, we presume, to ] appease onr silver friends who yearn for 50 . oent dollars. With the restraints removadfjj from the banka of issue, the country would ! soon be flooded with money which wonld pos- | albly be aboot as good aa the wild cat bills < that we bad before the war.

Nothing was to be eeflHH^Pv eturn for the book ureas it weiwfae ; weetest of thanks, and* the mere fact * >f the acceptance of a gift does not J orce upon you its returns^ Gift-giving is like iove,^ne desire Is upposed to come from the heart, and 10 gift is worth anything unless it is enfewith that feeling, and that only. iibeD you think you are to accept ^Bfeever to return ? My dearest girl, pRver know how we return thingi Kvwlls world, but everything 4does Sp&lTze itself. You have been a panning companion and have brightKd many , a moment to a woman Those purse Is better filled than yours. 5he sends yon, when a Christmas day ornes, 8ome<lainty present, some prety trine, that she knows you will like, , book about which you have talked, ? o nlntnra f ViO f Oftll Vl Q T70 Dltml r*H ' a pivimv jv? -- ['he return you make should be your hanksgiving and that is all. Your ;ift of a joyful presence $ras made ong before the material one. I do lot mean by this that the woman who 3 not rich must not give. God forbid t. But I do mean she must not think >f attempting to return at once the gift ? bat has come to her. It is vulgar, ny dear. Wait until another* gift day omes round, and then give something hat expresses yourself, the child of rour brain and fingers, rather than of 'our purse. Afier all, Emerson struck be key-note of gift-giving when he aid, "Our gifts are for the most part 1 ixpressionless. Let' the sailor bring J i sea-shell; the poet, a poem ; and the d winter, a picture;" and these are the g< fifts that, being part of yourself, may Sj >e received as of greater value than anything which money could obtain.

Perhaps tbe odd bits, when all is done, .rail really come to more than the sfawningly grater pieces?the chance conversations with rich and poor, the see&sown in odd five minutes.

The world may o?t know us'to applaud, but what to us is the world when God approves ? Keep Warm. Now that the cold weather is beginning, says Harper's Bazar, it is well to remember tbat if the wriBts and ankles are warm, the rest of the body is not likely to suffer. Worsted, wristles have gone out of fashion: but the/muff and the long-sleeved cokt serve quite as good a purpose. Fewf things, how* ever, have been found to take the place of leggings, which, if they ar? worsted, are apt to be awkward, and if they are buttoned and sure to tear the skirts. The long knitted tights were fouad a trouble to put on when one was in a hurry to go out. Yet to have something wbiob can be easily slipped on and off has become a necessity. Woman in the overheated houses of the present day have discovered tbat it is impossible to drees, as their grandmother did in warm unwieldly flannels, or even in the same warm clothes in which they must dress for the streets. They claim, too, tbat if one { dresses in light clothes for the bouse < nH in anmot hlnir warmer for the street < and danger of taking cold is minimized. The ingenious young woman of the present day buys golf stockings without feet, and these she slips over her cotton stockings when she goes out of doors. They are snug enough not to slip or slide, and, having no hooks or catchable pieces about them, answer a purpose in cold weather which nothing else has d?ne. Tbe Bent Place. ? In a recent conversation with one of;; our most gifted and successful pastors we gathered some good lessons. S??be years ago he aspired to a big' city appointment when the bishop read out the appointments be was sent to one not big in tbe estimate of his U?AikiiAn rvnni n f O70Q Ct l*fiQ t I UiCtLli Ci-I. All? UiOt?^J.iUIU V TV MU Q?VMVJ I bis humiliation deep and piercing? "like a knife piercing my heart," was | his way of putting it. "But 1 am over all of that now. Ecclesiaslical position does not make the man." How many aspiring young ministers have felt the * 'piercing like a knife," because they 1 tyave never learned, or having once * teamed, have forgotten the truth that y "position does not make tbe man." j If a man will, unmindful of the * spirit of his Lord, nourish ambition " for places of honorand comfort, "pier- j cinga" and humiliations are the price 1 he must sooner or later pay for learn- i ing better and for being better. In Christ's kingdom our appointed \ place is loftiest, his approval our high- ' estdistinction. Not a place of honor | in uw eyes of men, but a place of mo?t 1 service to him whose chief distinction j was a life of sharpest pain and most j unselfish service, is the place for all 1 who have his spirit. There is neither y cantn or fanaticism in the life modeled j after the pattern of him who said : ' "rum *mnnc vou as he that serveth." ^ i * " 1 A Luncheon Dish of Peppers. Make a well-peasoned mince of any cold meat you have in the house. Cut the tops on green peppers if they are ( small. If large, cut them in half. ( Extract the seeds, and fill the peppers ( with the mince, moistening it wel| 1 with gravy. Pack the peppers closely- 1 together in a baking dish. If you I have more meat than they will hold, ' fill with it the ohinks between them, 1 and pour in more gravy. Cover close- ( ly, and bake twenty minutes to half an hour.
