[ftnriiH to tl?e Nci'llrs of S'oriiivr Ycurs, mill llfccivcs 11 Hearty Greeting Irom Old Friends. I'rof. William H'>od. who In so well known [> the people of this Slate. and especially to tie people of Abbeville County, lias been peU'llns; several weeks in this and other ountl'.K, visiting his children, and iucidentliy meeting with old friends wherever lie oes. The lite and labors of Mr. Hood, if written tit, would read almtwt like fiction, or a draft ,poa one's iitiauluatlou or good wishes. By a struggle in- was enabled, as a poor boy, i L-radnate at Krskine College about fifty ?*ars hsjo. He ultervvnrd taught school in Newberry, here be inet Miss MeCaughran, who alter\-ird became Ins wil.% About the year 1<*>S he was elected Professor I Chemistry in Krskine Co 11 ego, which posi011 he tilled foru quarter ol a ceutiiry. During the suspension of the exei eises of le College, alter the war, he was appointed tate Treasurer for the "upper division." t that time South Carolina had two Slate rensurcrs, one for tin1 "lower division" and ne lor the "upper division." During his icumbeiicy oi tiin ofli<:e of treasurer <>i the pper division, the ollice of the sep.irat-* diislons was abolished, and lie was then ina'ie easurer lor the whoio Slate. No one ever uestioued the ability, tin- elliclen-y. or tlie iteyrity of the first treasurer, who held the mds oi tile whole State. When the exercises of Erskine College were >sutned he returned to his position in the nlltge which position he i.tid until about >91. Tlie next year he was elected to a professorup in one of the institutions of learning in le city of Washington, where his salary for ine mouths was SI,500. Instead ot S'JOO as at ie place where he had labored so lout;. From Washington Mr. Hood went to IV-ir>w, Kla., to take charue ef the Higu School i that city. After doing a good work there he became litor of the Courier-Informant, which osition he neld for a year or more. For the last lew years he lias felt able to >ur from his labor, and Is now eniovimrthe ldlan Summer of a well spent lile, freed oiu ull the cares ul money-getting, or breadinning. In the younger years o! his life, Mr. Ilood, ke many others, bad a bard light to Keep ie wolf from tbe door. He bad a large mlly, and be was ambitious to educate icb and ail of them. Jn those days edncaon, or tuition, was not free, aa It is today, be parent then must either pay for the lucation of bis child, or it went urn ducated. 0 pay tbe tuition fees alone of eight chilren rt quired money, to say cotblng of shoes 3d other wearing apparel. How well this labor ot love was performed y him and bis good wife may be best told by reply to us wbich Mr. Hood made in referuce to bis children : MR. HOOD'S CHILOKKN. In reply to your request, I will state tlia ie following are tbe names and residences of y children, named in tbe order of their :es : Mrs. Augusta L., wife of K. P. Blake, of reenwood, !S. O. She lias (i thildreu?the dest a son, now In South Carolina College. Mrs. Maggie E., wile of K. C. Siuari, ol iirtow, Florida., Sbe baso children, two of leui by a first'marriage 10 l)r. .J. II.

Boswell Bartow, Fla., at: I has. one child. Boswell fiom Alabama and Is a lawyer. William Hood. In addition to supporting all these chll eu In their infancy and childhood Mr. ood tackled a llle lusurance policy, which is been the rock upon which so muuy rtnnes have been wrecked, and upon which > many hopes nave met bitter and sore dlsjpoimraeut. Not so with Pro essor Hood, e had a policy which would pay during in if iIih Insiiriil should live lor l wt-ulv-flve liar*, and neshould pay the premium every gnr. 'J his premium Mr. Iiuod paid, and at le expiration of the twenty-live years, leven years ago.) lie received ?4,000 in cash. After this came the appointment to Washigtou and aderward to liartuw, Fla. lie in ouly saved itie $1,000 of insurance, but, y economy, he saved something while he as teacher In Washington and Bartow. Smcc he moved to Bartow, a tiroiher ol ln>. Hood,a Mr. McCaugbran of Newberry, ted and left her SH.nilO. Mr. Hood's Insurance, his earnings in the .tier years, aud Mrs. Hood's legacy puts lese good old people on velvet, with never care or a thought ol the question ol a home r something to eat or to wear. After a long and tuiihlul struggle in the uttleoflife, thee* good people have every -ason u r gratitude to the (jiver of every jod aud pei feet gift. They are in good | eallb. Tb?-ir cl'.Hdien are all living, and ictr lives and charai lers are such oI which ie paieuts have ihe greatest reason to be roud. All the sous are In good positions, nd. as Mrs. Hood expressed it, her sons-ln iw are as ,joi.d as U she had selected them Iii a period cif forty years of mtrrled life, either death nor any great ullliction ban mie to this household. To round nut Hie story, It Is hoped that lany years are yet in *to"e tor Mr. atul Mrs. [ood. This editor knew t.hoiri when their jn had scarcely rliioa above tbe horizon, n<] during "it these years uo threatening loud ever rtimmpassed ihem.

Many a heart has been wounded beyond cure, many a reputation has been stabbed to death, by a few little words. There is a charity which consists in withholding words, in keeping back harshjudgments, in abstaining from speech,.if to speak is to condemn. Such charity hears the tale of slander, but does not repeat it; listens in silence and forbears comment; then locks the unpleasant secret up in the very depths of the heart. mience can sin iuumm , it is a speech that keeps a story alive am! lends it vigor. . It is the kimi and gentle heart that charity abides with the peacefulness of a love. There it makes its home, and by the word withheld and the kindly words outspoken, we have the sign of the dove of peace nestling in the heart. For kind words are like "apples of nold in pictures of silver." Fitly spoken, words fall like the sunshine, the dew, and the summer rain ; but, when unfitly spoken, like the frost, the hail, and the defending tempest. Therefore by our words we proclaim what we are. If the average man could do as much work as he thinks he can there would he iillle demand for labor savimr machinery. The man who for^-ts easiest has the clearest' conscience. i ;..i, ; . '< li;- [ Right y.'&fm ' ' II s also. I .v.jaM - m l in business in Abbeigh to know something and selling: eoods. ?

"Rightly spoken," said the Czar, Two tbe men that plowing are; Tell tbe number If you can. If we?all that plow a man." Quickly answered he the Czar: -i'wo the men now plowing are; ' >'.!a Call that plow a man, and then Three the number of the men." Flashed with anger then tbe Czar. And bis eye gleamed like a star, As be looked tbe courtier through: "Wrong, sir, wrong! 6U11,only two. , ' "Who shall stand beside a Czar, With an empire spreading far?
