Tho following extremely quaint and 1 clever note comes to us from oue of our 1 most faithful and most honored sub scribers : t WOODLAWN, S. C., Feb. 22,1881. 8 MESSRS. EDITORS: To-day whenyour v ^^^-WheWregeT^dunTins^^BBHi^^W one cross ; but in this case a cross makes j one dan. Coming, however, in this gen teel way, the thing does not appear to bo ' overdone-;-and one is not so apt ti feel undone. If it were not such a painfully D ? prosy subject, you might well say of all S who are not moved by this gentle hint, 'J "The ghostly dun shall worry his sleep, I And coe*tables cluster around him, > And he shall creep from the wood-hole deep, 1 Where their spectre eyes have found i him.". . . feH^B~It is, however, a matte: of curious ^B^^peculation to Know why ? cross should v T be made use of in giving this notice. It c cannot for one moment be thought that t it is intended as an allusion to the cross ] aa tn instrument of torture for unhappy c delinquents. Stillless;may they indulge the hope that it is a promise of decorat ive honors. Ben Johnson said : ' ..Heaven prepares good men with ' crosses.'' " j Did he mean to sar/ that ncu-.^oper wm j vere Heaven's instruments to j>reparc crosses for these good men.' Long before the Christian era the cross ' was In use as an emblem, having certain 1 mystic meanings attached to it ; but aft- I erwarda it became an instrument of capi- I tal punishment. Christians made use'of | it as a distinguishing sign ; and when the Emperor Constantine obtained the victory over M?nentius, as ho supposed, by the influence of this sign, crosses wei? venerated, and caused to be set up in public places and upon public build ings, until the discovery (or.iuveution) of the truo cross by tho Empress Helena at Jerusalem. "H?rethesespeculations,however, must have an end, for they are not unmixed with dread, when lt is remembered that Halleck s^id : .'The monarch fears s printer's frown." Thanking you for the gentle reminder, and enclosing the year's subscription price, I am, as ever, Very truly youjs. .? ?-;_" s j io pa th y from Augusta.
