and there some of our best and dearest

Sufler us then to rejoice anfl cohgrat?-! |
Ute om- dear old mother Edgetield that
she has once more been permitted to en

OTivrovrng-and- beloved of-pastors-and
Qwt^ar?ngh jfcis!iastannentality, andi
faithful labor?? lov?, ?o? has so signal^
ly blessed the people. We rejoice to
know that our old mother Church, with
lier present able and beloved pastor, is
revived, and that many of her members
buvo.boou brought to lifo'Mid activity,.
and are no longer dead Idlers, h'uTliv??g

Wo rejoice that pru?y young per?ons

of God. O may thc work ga on, until
every one ?hall know the Lord-until
the wickedness of the wicked shall cease,
and righteousness shall flow down her<
streets as a mighty river.
While we can not deny the fact that wo
regret, that in tho Providence of God,
circumstances have impelled us to sun
der th? social ties, that still bind us in
heart, to the old Palmetto State, we think
there are advantages, both political .and
financial, sufficient to reconcile UH to the
change ; and we are encouraged to hope
that the noble old Stato .of Georgia will
furnish us with a home and a living
both comfortable and pleasant. Though
tho river rolls between us, wc are Alli
near enough to enjoy the anticipation of

among thuin; ' We canpiot jbol Ulfci^j?rty

of our acquaintances prove to bb those of j
original Carolinians. Though iuanotber
State, we still feel like Carolinians, but i
with this enviable difference, we feel like
Carolinians tuted to feel under, the .old
regime of a white mahss gov?rnm'er?.
Breathing here tho breath of freedom,
in every breeze that crosses the Savan
nah, we can more readily "snuff treason"
in the fained gale," and feel a keener
sympathy for the dear old Palmetto, still
groaning under the horrors of Radical
misrule and diabolical villainy,
Residing in the vicinage of tim city,,
we have all thc advantages of both coun
try and town society ; tho .priviljege-, pf
attending religious services in any of the
Humorous Churches, whoso graceful
spires, pointing from earth to heaven,
contribute so much solemn grandeur to
the beauty of the oity; alnoinany oppor
tunities of seeing tho passing lions; and,
if so disposed, of hearing and enjoying
the performances of tho celebrated Stare,

NOT SO MUCH OF A JOKE.-Quite an
amusing joke was perpetrated at a certain
boarding-house in Hudson last Saturday
night. One of the boarders, a very mod
est young man, had occasion to be out late,
and the rest of his household thought
they would play a joke on him and this ,
is the way they did it. They rigged up a
figure supposed to resemble afemale, which
they put in his bed, and they hung on a
chair a skirt, on another a sat of corsets,
hung a dress over the footboard and orna
mented the bureau with false hair, hair
pins and fixings-thus giving the room
the appearance of being occupied by a
lady.
At a late hour the owner of the room
returned and lit the gas and' his eyes be
held such an array of '?Hicieras they were
not wont to gaze upon ; but though bis
eyes were surprised his nose 'did not go
back on him, for it "smeit mice," and he
proceeded quickly to gather up, the figg j
men ts, did them in a bundle, and hid them

gi notlnng had

They have changed everything, from

in every change they have bled the tax

Tv the ?lilor' of tile -Daily JJvi?i i ?.
My attention having boen just called
to thc following paragraph, published in
The Charleston Daily News of yesterday,
1 respectfully ask space in your columns
for the purpose of replying thereto:
" Congressman Elliott (colored,) who is
set down as a candidate, will probably
withdraw at thc right time in favor of one
of the two other aspirants-most likely
.'honest' John. In any event, look for an.'
exciting time when the Senatorial fight
comes on."
. Now, Mr. Editor, penni t-me to say that
there is not the slightest semblance of
truth in the above paragraph. I um a
candidate for the position of United States
Senator from this State, and shall remain
A candidate until thc final vote shall have
been reached by the General Assembly.
.Underlying my candidacy is a question of
Srinciple, right and jus.icc, which I am
etermined, BO fur as I am able, to have
asserted.
Again, Mr.*Editor, I have been inform
ed that the- story is being circulated that
it is my intention to withdraw in favor of
.'Mr. J. J. Patterson'. I do most openly
brand rt??^rjtfnfj [ssjan affhnt {lie? fct
afloat 'for the purpose of strengthening'trie
chances of others interested in the strug
gle. I defy any.man to say that bo. has
ever W?t? t???red 'l? obtrude" hi* 'miserable
carcass upon my presence for the purpose
?of intimating ni the ?lightest manner any
?spch corrupt bargain. I am a candidate
.in good faith, and shall so continue to the
end. r-: ?l( .'../.
To those who know nie, it is unneces
sary to say anything; but I deem it a
matter,of justice to Ibo public, as w.ell as.
to wys?lfj to/?t! once brand .this ,menda
jcious lie With the stigma that it deserves.
I am determined to nave the question at
once'?etti??V?s to whether: ?t?io Jack of
j money slisll exclude men from office, "or
'whether those, qualities alone -that can
conscientiously appeal to the bigher sen
sibilities of our manhood-shall prevail.
My'r <ev6ry effort shall be to have the
whole people of this State, as well as of
the entire country, understand whether or
not the performance of the pledges re
Iceatly made by the Republican party
shall.be-foreshadowod by the blighting in

How is this for ?scene in a church?
The place is a sacred edifice in Bath,
Maine. The pew Ja crowded. The ser
mon is long. A respectable citizen goes
to sleep. In close proximity to him is a
lady. The preacher is in the midBt of a
closing prayer, when the slumberer as
tonished the congregation by grunting
ina tone of complaint, "come, come,
Sarah J lay along; don't crowd sol lay
over, lay ovor!" "Sarah," who was
fortunately in the pew also, nover fora
moment lost her presence of mind, but
administered, ./timely poko with her
parasol; which awakened her dormant
lord, and1 prevented any further rer . _ks
on his part. A warning to sleepy audi
iors or long-winded preachers, no mat
ter which.
A Woman's Stratagem and ita Results:
A story comes from Ath?ns about Greek
brigandage very refreshing to honest peo
ple, and suggestive of the question wheth
er women might not govern Greece better
than its men. One ol' the curses of mod

unextirpated-guild of brigands, ...who. in
fest the land, defying -the gqyern nient,
suppressing commerce, .demoralizing the
peasantry, and robbing ?nd murdering
strangers 01 rich natives. One- of these

A l-'ioggtng by Proxy.
Many years ago, there lived in a beau
tiful little country town in'ISorth Alaba
ma, a genial, warm-hearted did' gehtlfthlan;
Judge H--, well-known throughout thc'
State as well for his distinguished ability
.as his marice*!generosity and congeniality.
Among" hfa'tfrutfof ^do?fc?biis Was vk "rrtf
gro named Jake, or as he was more-fa^
niilkrly called Uncle Jake, and there nev
er lived a-inore provoking old darkgy ; fur
^Jncit; Jake, although a favorite, had .many
weaknesses, and among others he waa
particularly, regardless pf truth, tu such
au extant in iact that occasionally the
i .ti ?.. T i e._f'L_' ' ? _. iff
Hogging for a consideration whenever the
master was disinclined to officiate; and (he
constable of this particular town had ;.
severe reputation for proficiency among,
the darkies who bad now and (?len, be?ti.
so unfortunate as to come under hie bund*.
. Jake, although he had never been there,
was well postea, and had a great repug
narte to Mass? G-, who' was- the in-:
uumbent Ut that timi?. On one occasion.'
during th? Christmas days while th? old?
judge was quite severely indisposed, Un
cle Jake had been guilty of a misdejnean
cr, and-puiiishraent was deemed necessary,
so the judge wrote a note to thc constable
about as follows: ;
Mr. G-: Please give the bearer tliir
ty-nine lashes and charge to me. .
JUDGE II.
Calling on Uncle Jake, the judge or
dered him to carry the note to Qr-!-, who
would give him a grubbing hoe.
Jake started oil' un town, but his sus
picions were aroused. He couldn't un
derstand what thc judge wanted with a
grubbing hoe at Christmas time, and his
conscience'wa* not as clear as it should
have been. The result of his suspicion
was that the truth suddenly flashed upon
him-he was tu be whipped, .. Seeing ,\\
schoolboy upproaebing, lie took out th-j
note and ?alp:
" Massa'Bob, what in dis note? ' Got
so mart" ells morning I got em mixed:''"
Tiie boy read the note and explained
i ts ?contenta to Jake, who..whistled and
laughed to. himself as a bright idea ??iruck
liim. Calling a negro boy, who was near
Juke-said:
" Bov, does you want tb make a quar
ter?" "
" Of course I does."
"Well, take* dis note down Uar, to Mas*
sa G-an'- git a-'grubben . hoo, and- I
wait here 'tjllYQU comes backen' den l
gives you a quarter*;"
The boy hurried off to "accomplish his
errand, and1 in dbe course" delivered'-the
note-td G--, who took him-into; tho.
yard,, locked the gate, and proceeded, des
pite the boy's protestations of innocence,
to administer thc desired flogging, while
Jake hurried olf home, chuckling over the
happy result of what .might have been
serious business for him.
That evening, the judge called him up,
and inquired : .".
" Jake, did you ge,t thc grubbing hoe.?'-'
"No, mana; I give a boy a quarter to
fotch dat note to Massa-G, and I spec
lie got dat hoe.'"

Your Boy's Guests.
Every right-minded home-mother re
gards it ,as a matter of importance to
make her home agreeable'for her . hus
band's guests. If a gentlemen is expect,
ed to dinner, thero is sure to be thc best
linen on thc'fable, and something more
than tho ordinary meal prepared ' She
takes pride and pleasure' in making her
parlor bright, and her guest's room as
comfortable as in her power.
But how many mothers take pains to
make it pleasant for their boy's guests. It
is an excellent-thing for a' boy to have his
boy friends, when they are children of good
principles and behaviour, and it is a lastn
ing blessing to a boy when he has a moth
er who encourages, such intimacies. It'is
.a very easy thing to do. . A kind, pleas
ant word of welcome wh?n he comes will
make him at once feel at home. A little
pains taken to bring out the stereoscope
or book of engravings for his amusement,
permission of your boy to take his toys
into the parlor for the time if he likes, a
little addition 'to tho table fare-all these
trifles make your boy's heart glad, and
endear to you the heart of the stranger.
O how it chills and sours a child's heart
to have mother frown on his friends I How
it angers him to be scolded in their pres
ence! Such a course is like sowing the
wind, and you will surely reap thc whirl
wind.
Thc course of a boy thus treated will j,
be down. Far better have him choose ,,
his friendships under your eye, and enjoy I,
the companionship ot his associates in
your parlor, where -you may join in the*
conversation, and cheer and instruct by
your pleasant lessons. There is nothing
a boy lov?s so well as an intelligent, talk
ing mother. She may regard it'as a great
compliment when he coaxes for another
.half hour at evening, ..with " let's talk a
; little' longer/mother."'
Your; boy will have'associates, if not
by your, permission, he..will ,by stealth,
and companions thus chosen will hardly
fail to lead him to destruction. Is it not
better* to .take the. trouble to make home
pleasant for him and his'friend rather than
run such fearful risks?-Lilllie ra n Ob
