After the table was prepared, there was nothing upon it but bread, butter, and tea. They invited the stranger to eat with them. saying, "We have not much to offer you, but a cup of tea will be refreshing after your long journey." He accepted their hospitality, and as they discussed the frugal meal, he led them, without seeming to do so, to talk of their affairs. "I bought this piece of land." said Mr. Bishop, "at a very low pri.-e, and instead of waiting as I ought to have done, until I had saved the money to build, I thought I would borrow two hundred dol lars. The interest on the money would not be nearly as much as the rent I was paying, and I should be saving something by doing it. I did not think there would be any difficulty in paying back the bor rowed money. But the first year my wife and one of my children; were ill, and the expenses left me without the means to pay the debt. Mr. Merton agreed to wait another year, if I would pay the interest. I did that. This year I was for seven months unable to work at my trade and earn anything; and of course when pay-day comes round, and that is very soon, I shall again be unable to meet the demaid." "But," said the stranger, "will not Mr. Merton wait another year, if you make all the circumstances known to him ?" "No, sir," replied Mr. Bishop; "1 saw him this morning, and he said he must have his nony, and should be obliged to foreclose." "He must be very hard-hearted," replied the traveler. "Not necessarily so," said Mr. Bishop. "The fact is, these rich men- know nothing of the struggles of the poor. They are men just like all the rest of mankind, and I am sure if they had but the faintest idea of what the poor have to pass through, their hearts and their purses would open. You know it has passed into a proverb, 'When a poor man needs assistance, 'he should apply to the poor.' The reason of this is obvious. The poor only know the curse of poverty. They know how heavily it falls, rushing the spirit out of a man ; and, to use my favorite expression, they can at o'nce put 'themselves in the unfort:mnate one's place and ap preciate his di.ffculties, and are therefore always ready to render assistance as far as they are able; and if Mr. Merton had the least idea of what I and my family have to pass through, I think he would be willing to wait several years for his money rather than distress us." With what emotion the stranger listened, may be imagined. A new wrktwas being opened to him. He was passing through an experience that had never been 'his before. Shortly after the c,onclusion of the meal, he rose to 'take his leave, ihanking Mr. ande Mrs. Bishop for their kind hospitality. . They in ited him to stay all night, talling him he was welcome to what they had. He thanked them and said, "I will:.trespass on your kindness no longer. I think I can reach the next village before dark, and be so much further on my journey." Mr. Merton did not sleep much that night. He lay awake thinking. He had received a new revelation. The poor had always been associa ted in his minid with stupidity and ignorance, and the first poor family he had visited he had found far in advance, in intelligent sympathy and real politeness, of the exquis ites and fashionable butterflies of the day. The next day 'a boy called at the cottage, and left a package in a large blue envelop, ~adress to.Mr. Bishop. Mrs. Bishop was very much alarmed wvhen she took it ; for large blue envelopes were~associated in her mind with law and lawvyers, anid thought that it boded no good. She put it away until her husband camne home from his work, when she handed it to him. He opened it in silence, read its contents,and said frequently,"Thank "hat "is it John ?" inquired his I"Good news, wife,' replied John: "such news that I never hoped for, or even dreamed of." "'What is it--what is it ? Tell me quick I want to hear it, if it is any thing good." "Mr. Merton has canceled the mortgage, released me from the debt, both the interest and princi al, and says, any time I need any further assistance, if I will let h imn know, I shall have it." "mso glad, it put~s a new life inm" said the now happy wife. "But what can have come over Mr. Merton ?" -I do not know. It seems strange after the way he talked to me vsterdav morning. I will go right over to his office, and tell him how happy he has made us." He found Mr. Merton in, and ex pressed his gratitude in glowing terms. "What could have induced you," he asked, "to show us so much kindness ?" "I followed your suggestion," re pEed Mr. Merton, "and put myself in your place. I expect it would surprise you very much to learn that the strange traveler to whom you showed so much kindness yesterday was myself. "Indeed !" exclaimed Mr. Bishop, "can that be true ? How did you dis guise yourself so well ?" "I was not so much disguised, after all, but you could not very readily associate Mr. Merton, the lawyer, with a poor wayfaring man -ha! ha! ha "' laughed Mr. Mer ton. "Well, it is a good joke," said Mr. Bishop ; "good in more senses than one. It has terminated very pleas antly for me." "I was surprised," said Mr. Mer ton, "at the broad and liberal views you exp!ressed of men and their ac tions generally. I supposed I had greatly the advantage over you in means, education, and culture; yet how cramped and narrow-minded have been my views besides yours! That wife of yous is an estimable woman, and that boy of yours would be an honor to any man. I tell you, Bishop," said the lawyer, be coming animated, "you are rich rich beyond what money could make you. You have treasure s that gold will not buy. I tell you, you owe me no thanks. Somehow, I seem to have lived years since yesterday morning. I have got into a new world. What I learned at your house is worth more than you owed me, and I am your debtor yet. Hereafter, I shall take as my motto, 'Pat yourself in his place,' and try to regulate my actions by it." AOTS PASSED AT TIIE RE OENT SESSION OF TIlE GEN ERAL ASSE1MBLY.

The following on dit is going the rounds: "Ten years hence the Southern rivers will be dotted with mannfactories like the rivers of New England, and friuged with towns swarming with honest. industrious operatives." This is the faith of the country in the future prosperity of the South, a faith based upon what are now con ceded to -be our superior advantages for madufactdrs. Will the South realize the expecta tions of the country?, That is the practical question, and one which bur people alone have to decide. We be lieve, most sincerely, in the fial suc cess of the South; -in the ability, of the young men to put this section side by side in the prosperous march of the States. With the details of the way in which this great result is to be effected we are not concerned. Of the general plan we tave already spoken, and that idea has found much favor :with the thinking men of this section, and been highly com wended. The general plan is CoNBINA'ION. The wealth of South Carolina now is not concentrated in.a few individuals, but is distributed among the maisses. All see' the necessity of -building-cot ton Mills.' They know the financial success of this State hangs upon the oqtton spindle. There are no men of vast wealth to build these mills. 'The masses must combine to accomplish it. Hlere is found the true mission of the Grangers. If 50,000 Grangers will pay one dollar, a .month into' the eommon -fund, it will realize-the hand some sum of $5000 a; month, or $600,000. -That amount will build two or three first class mills. This practice, continued- five or ten years, will place South Carolina in the very 'fore front of the maunfacturing States. The whole business may be superin tended by a board of directors, in whom the people may repose the, ut m o s t confidence. Each Gratnger would be 'a stoekholdet to the amount of the money paid in. The one' dol-' lar would represent a.share. Let the rule be made that no one should be a member of the Grange wh$ would not comply with the regulation to pay at least $1 a month into this fund;" but let there be no limit to the subscrip tion, except the will of the subscriber. Let those who wish and are able, sub scribe five or ten or fifty dollars 'a! month if they chose. It Iooks to' us that this, is 'the )rue mission of the Grangers. in South Carolina. It embraces, ,we under stand, a large majority of the farmers of the State. They earnestly mainitain its objects is in~ no, sense politieal or partisan. If. this is -so, and it has been. established to meet a great want, what want is so great in South Caro lina as cotton 'Mills ?" The South has alwvays furnished the material out. of which New England has made so many of her citizens millionaires. Shall we continue to do the work and languish in hopeless poverty, while the' enterprising aans of New-England gather in the harvests which we sow ? Will our young men confess by their' supineness, that they. are u,piqual i, Ibrains, enterprise an.dfige tot1 Yankee boy-? ' Witness by the following how those New England cotton mills coin mon fey : *'Recent investigations into the con dition of the cotton mills at Fall River, IMassachusetts, present a glowing pie t.ure of the profits of these enterprises, and of the rapid devolopmnent which they give to the cities and towns in whioh they are located. Dividends of one hundred and forty per cent are declared, stock multiplied ten times in value, and the stock of a bank do ing the~ir business has quadrupled in teni years. "-.Daily Union.
