I'oultuy Hints.?To be successful 1
in raising chielcens several things arc
necessary. Never set a lien in a box
above the ground, but on the ground
always. It a person is so situated thai
the eggs can't be set on the ground,
mi ino nest about three inches deep
with fresh earth, then make the rest
on that, and at tiio end of the lirst
wck, wash them off* in milk warm
water; do the same at the end of the
second week, and if the eggs are imprcguant,
every one will hatch. It an
egg gets broken and the other eggs
get smeared over with it, the eggs so
smcaied will not hatch unless washed
clean. Eggs require a certain amount
of moisture tor them to hatch well.
When the chickens are, hatched eontine
them for twenty-four hours and
do not feed them; after that food with
tho yolk of hard boiled eggs for two
or three days, then with mush without
salt for a few days more, then feed
with meal and water. Try these hints
and you'll. find this information is
worth five years' subscription to this

Drinking Dancing, Music, (xcucral Conference
>1. II. Church South.
Mil Khitok it) your paper of the
20th inst., \ on adopt an ait'cic in your
c litoii 1 collimnsaccredited to t he Now
York World, which contains four
counts ngnisnl t he late (lenoral C'onlei enee
ot the M. IC. Church, South, all ol
which arc incorrect, as may be seen in
the published proceedings, and are calculated
to mislead the uninformed.
We ask that yon do that able body of
ecclesiastical legislators, and the large
body of Christians whom they represent,
the justice to place this denial
as conspicuously in your columns as
the charges against them appealed.
1st. In the first paragraph ol the
said article the late General Conference
of the Methodist Kpisoopal
Church, Sout h, is represented as having
passcd|a new law on the subject ol
temperance.
The General Conference enacted no
new law on the subject of temperance.
They simply defined the spirit of the
old law which forbids "Drunkenness,
or drinking any spirituous liquors, unless
in cases of necessity." The church
has ever held that the use of intoxicating
liquors as a beverage is deleterious
to piety and good morals; and il
if iu n o it* ??An ?/ 1 -
.v .??.u m iw line iti uo <i uevorago,
it was wrong to make and sell it lor
that purpose. This interpretation 0}
the law was unquestioned, until within
the last few years, when such a tide
dI demoralizing influences set in as to
induce some of her members to endeavor
to evade the spirit and practice of
the law by appealing to the letter saying
"making and selling spirituous
liquors are not named in the letter of
the law, and therefore it is not unlawful."
The action of the General Conference
simply defined the spirit of the
old law as it was accepted and practiced
from the foundation of the church
in 6rdor to meet the quibbling referred
to. While all the pulpits of the old
and new world are raising their warning
and denouncing voice against this
most destructive evil; while thtroomtnon
voice of humanity is raised
against it, the arraignment of the
Methodist church before the public for
doing the same cannot he explained on
any principal of charity or justice.
2d. 'Idle second paragraph seeks to
make it appear that the General
Conference pronounced against fine
music in divine worship. All that
was said and done by the General
Conference on this subject was to enter
a protest against the tendency in
some places to convert the church of
[?od into an opera, and cogregational
singing into praise of proxy. Nor did
lliey inact that ministers should lead
the singing as the paragraph would
appear to show, but they expressed
the opinion that the ministers are the
conservators of the public worship,
and that they should exercise their
aflico to suppress meretricious and 1111levotional
music in the house of God.
The Methodist elturch is noted lor her
high-souled devotional music as opposed
to the operatic.
;3d. The third paragraph would lead
ns to suppose that the General Conference
took new grounds upon the
subject of dancing. The Methodist
I'.hurch Ktdl holds views on that subject
which were syehronoos with, and
. ver antedated the foundation of the
Christian church, which every inlorined
reader ot ecclesiastical literature
knows full well. Heathen writers
condemn it as a social evil, and the
church at large has over deemed it at
^Vn Indeper
WAYBOHO, S. C., SAr
enmity with piety and devotion. The
Methodist church is not uni<pie on this
Buhjecl; she occupies common grounds 1
with nil the other churches ; hut sho j
may he more rigid in enforcing her
l >rt?eo nt h
I 1
The Methodist church for years j
adopted the wise policy of avoiding us
far as possible special legislation, and ,
laid down general principles for the !
1 government of her members. But in I
these latter days the spirit of worldli- i
ness and disobedience to law in its I
spirit and practice, having taken j
shelter behind the letter ol the law the i
General Conference thought best to i
leave the quibbler without excuse, and
declare against dancing in the letter |
of the law as the church has always
done in tlie spirit and practice.
That the church should be arrainged
for making her practice consistent
with a well accepted principle ot
Christendom does not look fair.
4th. The fourth paragraph presents !
the General Conference as agreeing to
organic union with the M. E. church,
North.
They did receive fraternal messengers
lroni the General Conference ol
the M. E. church, North, empowered
simply to expicss fraternal regard.
They did appoint fraternal messengers
in return with similar instruction, and
also a commission to meet a similar
commission from the General Conference
North to adjust questions, (chiefly
involving ownership of property)
which since the war have proved harriers
to Christian charity bid ween
these bodies. But they declared most
emphatically against organic union
with theiu.
Thus it is scon 11?t. the impressions
intended to ho made against the M. 10.
church, South, ui tho four paragraphs
of the paper arc untrue a.ml unjust in
every particular.
'l'ho Methodist church stands now
whore she over stood, hold to maintain
the principles accepted by Christendom,
and notwithstanding the socnlled
"Asceticism" and "Puritanism." by t he
admission of the article in question,
from being one of the youngest ?>l the
sisterhood of churches, she has grown
to be one ol the largest and most influential.

CnursTtAN Communion.?The Christian
World gives in very plain words .
the difference between the Baptists of
Knglaml and America on the question
of Christian communion. It says;
"In respect of freedom of commun- \
ion, the Bapt ists of the States are jusj (
a century behind the Baptists of Pugland.
A hundred years ago it was
held by Baptists to be scandalous lor
a person who had been immersed to i
sit down at tho Lord's Supper with ,
one who had only been sprinkled; and
that is just the state of tilings prevailing
on the oilier side of the Atlantic '
to-day. Nearly every Knglish Bap- i
tist professing to any sort ol education is
now ashamed of this species ol bigotry;
and it may be hoped that the
leaven of common sense Christian
charity, which certain brethren seek <
to put into the American churches, ,v
will have its wholesome elfect in due (
time."
[From the Union-Herald.] i
The situation of affairs not only in t
this State, but throughout the 1 Tiled
_ JJ J
States, is very much mixed. Jn tins
State we are on the eve of a campaign, '
and all the elements, inside and out- 1
side, conspire to make it one of the 1
hottest Hummers on record outside of i
the State; the American press are
pouring their broadsides into our
craft. Whenever an editor of any of 1
the metropolitan or provincial press '
of the country is troubled with in- i
digestion and grows querulous, he ,
turns to South Carolina and finds any .
amount of material for any amount of
healthy "cussing." The worst of it *
ip., that wo cannot say aught to a good *
(h-ul that is written against us. We c
might turn upon them and hay, that ,
corruption "breeds its maggots in the
sun" in other States as in our "more
sunny chine;" but wo don't know {
the lacts there, while all that they <
have to do is to send some live news- '
paper man down here, and almost (
anybody will tell him anything he
wants to know, and perhaps a good
deal more, according to the quiet or '
inflamed condition of his imagination* ,
ile that as it may, there can bo no
doubt about the desperate state of
affairs. There can bo little doubt
that some man will have to ho elected
as Governor who will restore confi- *
deuce to our people and to the country
at large. It is altogether too soon to (
point out me political Messiah ; but it I
may bo Haul, with Homo reliance upon
our laith and credit, that if wo wore
tbo Israelites and the Governor of this
State was our Moses, wo would prefer
to turn to Pharoah and give him a
square stand-up-light before we would
trust to cross an ordinary ditch, much
less ailed Sea, no matter how accommodating
the waters might bo. j

run DAY, -I UXK 'J 7, I
Suuv?l Oout of a HiIV.
Tho narrative which I am about t<>
write was lolil to mo one bleak cold
night in a country parlor. It was one
ot those nights in midwinter, when
the wind sweat over the land makiiif
i 7 r>
everything tingl*5 with its frosty
breath, that f was seated hetore a
blazing lire, surrounded by a jolly half
ctozcn hoys ami an old balchelor, A.
Peter (liven, about forty and eight
years old.
It was just the night without to
make those within enjoy a good story,
so each of us had to tell his favorite
story, save .Mr. (liven, and as he was
a jolly story teller, we were somewhat
surprised to hear him say, "I have no
story to toil that would interest you,'1
so we had to lind other entertainments
lor a while, w hen ono of the boys told
mo to ask him how it happened that
he never got married,. tSo I did.
"Well, gentlemen," he began, "it
does not s< em right lor me to tell how
that happened, but as it is about myself,
I don't care much. Von see
when I was young we had to walk as
high as live miles to church and singing
school which was our chief enjoyment.
lint this don't have anything
to do with my not, getting a wife, but
1 just, wanted to show you how we
had some trouble them days in getting
our sport.
.Joint Sr .th and 1 were like brothers,
or like 4.Mary and her l imb.'
Where one went the other was sure
to go. w e went to see two sisters,
and as we were not the best boys imaginable,
the old gentleman look umbrage
and would not allow us l?> come
near the house, so we would take the
gins lo t lie orul (tl 111 e lane :i:nl there
we would have to take the final kiss.
We soon got tired of litis sort of
lun, and 1 told John, on our way from
singing school one night that I was
going to lake Sadie home, and that I
was going into the house, too.
lie saiu tne old man would ruin me
if 1 did.
1 told him I was going to risk il
myhow, let come what would.
lie said he would risk il il I would.
So home we went with the girls.
When we got to the end of the lane I
told the girls we proposed going all
the way.
Tho.y looked at each other in a way
1 didn't like too well, lmt said they
(t he old folks') would be in bed, so the}'
lidn'l earo iI we did. i
They were a little more surprised
ai hen 1 told them we thought of going
n a little while, but all was quiet
wlmn .ve got it) the house, so we had i
io trouble in getting into the kitchen.
Then and there we hud our first
jourt, and I made, up my mind to ask
Sadie to he my wife the next time I
jatne 1 <
Ii was now past the turn of the
light and as we had four miles to :
walk, I told John we had better be i
going. So we stepped out on the
torch, but just as we did so the skv I
kVHH lit v>p l>y lightning, and one trcnendous
thunder peal rolled along ilio
Mountain sides. Its echo hud not
lied out in the far oil' vales until the
ain began to pour from the garnered
ullncss of the clouds. We waited for
t to stop until we were all sleepy,
>vhen the girls said we could go to
>ed in the little room at the head of
die stairs which led out of the kitchen,
is their father did not get up early we
jould be hortio before the old folks
were astir, bo after bidding the girls
i sweet good night , and hugging them
v little, and wishing them pleasant
dreams, and promising them to come
)ack on the next Sunday night, wc
itartcd (o bed.
We didn't have far to go, as the
bed stood near the head of the stairs.
John was soon in bed, but as I always
was a little slow and full of curiosity,
1 was looking around the little room.
At last 1 thought I would sit down
on a chest, which was spread over
with a nice white cloth, while I drew
off my boots. Ho down I sat, when,
stars of the cast! I went plump into a
big custard pie!
I thought John would die laughing,
lor lie said I smashed that custard all
to thunder and the plate right in two.
You see wo had to bo awful quiet,
so the old man would not hear.
I was now ready to get in bod, so I

put the light out and picked up my
boots thinking to put them in a in< re
convenient place, when down one of 1
my legs went through a pipe hole, '
which had been covered by paper, up ,
to my hip.
v.., ? ? ?
i ivi) viiu j>.ut Ml 111 ( was up Stall's
while the longest part ot me was in
tiio kitchen.
As my leg was very long, it reached
a shell which was occupied by dishis, i
pans, cotVoo pots, etc., ami turned it
over with a (remendons crash.
The girls had not retired, and we ,
con hi hear them laugh lit u> split j
their sides. <
1 felt awlul ashamed, and was scare 1 '
until my heart was in my threat, for 1
expected the old man every moment. |
I extricated my leg from the confmind- 1
cd hole just in time, lor the old lady
looked into the kitchen from tin? room '
door and asked w hat all thai noise
was about-.
'The gills put her oil* as best they ;
could and 1 went to bed, while John >
was t rangling himself under the eo\or (
to keep from laughing aloud. ,
We soon wen., ofV into the land of
dreams with the hope of waking early. I
I wish I could tell you my dreams, but
it would take me loo long. One moment
1 would lancy myself by (
the side of my Sadie, sipping nee- I
tar from her heaven-bedewed lips, 1
and the next 1 would be Hying from
the old man, while lie would be Hour- ,
ishing his cane over my head.
This came to an end by John giv- s
itig me a kick.
On waking up and looking around
I saw John's eyes as big as my li-t., <
while the sun was beaming in at I lie
window. )
What to do wo couldn't (oil, lor wo
hoard thoold man having family prayor
in t ho kitchen.
John looked out of the window and |
said wo could get down over the

said ho. (
So in in}' hurry my fool got fasten- I
od in the hod clothes, and out I linn- *
bled, head foremost, turned over and
nown the- slops until I struck the door,
which was fastened by a wood* n but- j
Ion, and it gave way, out 1 rolled in i
IVont of the old man. e
Ho threw up his hands and cried: (
'I,ord save us!' for lie thought it was
? a

The old lady screamed until you !
could have heard her a mile. '
1 was so scared and bewildered that (
r i . f H
1 could not got up at once. It was
warm weather and I didn't have on i
anything but a well, one garment. I
When I beard the girls snickering
it made mc mad, and I jumped up and

When I got into the barn yard I

sprang into the barn and began to '
