A wo man's groud social aim should bu to please. And let tuc tull you how it is to bo done. A woman eau please tho oyo by her ap pearance, her face und figure. Shu attn j.leaso thu cur by studying thu art ot' elocution, uot buvd to any of us, for by nature wu spunk with finer utticulatiou than men. Shu eui piensa tho mind by cuhL vating ber own-?so lar, ot loust, as to make her ti good listonoi; und us much farther ns ?ho will. Shu can please tho fuuoy by ladies' wit, of which all of us havo a share. Shu can plcaso tho heart by uniiu bility. Beauty of person is only uno fea?, turo of true beauty. HULK TWO.-Modesty is thc ground on Wilton all a woman's charms appear lo tho best advantage. lu manners, dress, cou? versation, remember always that modesty must never bu forgotten, Thero is uow-s lays a tendency in women tu rebel against old fushioued modesty. Thc doctrine of liberty is spreading muong us, for which I thanh (Jed. But the first effects of that doc tri nc on our minds uro a little confus ing, Wo aro growing mote independent atid moro individual.

Hut remember, I use the word modesty in u high senso. Not 'prudery. Prudery is ou the surf iee; uiodcsty is ?ti the si ul Rosalind in her loy's .snit i. dcljghtfulty modest, hut uot very prudish.

Another source ol misunderstanding coin s Iront tho novel writers Wo me the novel readers, und tho novelist is foi etd tu write heroines tu suit our tw.sto. lie docs m t want lo offend us. Thus il comes aluut that eve? lim malo novelist is loo often depicting women's women, after all. And I believe scores pf modern girls arc seriously misled for this ! very reason. They believe I hey ure (hiding out what men ll.ii.h them, when in truth they arc reading their own notions bunded hack to thom under a pretty disguise. HULK FI VI:.-Wouii n's beauties aro sel dom men's beauties. It' ten men and ten women were to go into the same company und each sex choose the prettiest woman lhere, us they thought, >i>u would rarely lind that they choose the sante. If this bc SO, WO OUglli not to trust OUISCIVCS even as tu our faces without Cptisiduriug that thc sex wc ure to ploase must in the end settle ibu question, and will selilo thu question in its owu way. KULK SIX.-Oaynty tempered l>y se riousness is ibo huppitst mai,ncr in society, Hy which 1 mean that in ail our giji iy thero ought tu be a him of Self recul loci icu.

Cotiutuly no woman ought to le a mocker. U u h? SKVKN.-Always F peak low. This is obvious. In Support pf it 1 need only quote ?Shakespeare, who cut ld it "un excellent thing in wumuti." HULK KIUIIT,-A plain woman can never be pretty. ?She eau always bu fusel nuting if she tnlics pains. 1 weil remember a mini who wus a great admirer of our sex telling me that one of thu most fascinating women bc hud ever known was not only not pi etty, but ns to her face decidedly plain ugly, only thu wold is rude. I asked my friend, "How, then, did shu faoir.ute?" I weil remember bia reply.

A NEW MASIS Ol' KIClMtrSKNTATIO.V. Tiaro is utmthor matter willoh is worthy of some uttention. According to tho Cou?? utitutiou of tho Democratic party each comity is entitled to representation in thc Stnlo Convention iii proportion to Us? repre sentation in both brunches of tho General Assembly. There is u feeling in favor of changing this rule and making tho Demo? eratic vote in tho different counties thc basis of representation in tlic State Couvctition. According to the present rulucouuties which huvj thc smallest Democratic strength uro cutitled to equal representation in thc nominating convention with counties which havo tho greatest Democratic strength. Dorkcley County, for instance, with <x total Democratic strength of less than three hundred voters, lias u right to scud two moto delegates to tho State Couvctition than Anderson Cuunty.whero thc Registered strengt h of ibo Democracy ia gicatly in cxeesi of tho Republican vote. Thc same (statement, ol facts will apply to many oilier counties in the State, which arc represented in the cou voulions of tho patty not in pro pOttiou to tho number of Democratic voters but according to their total population, lt ii reasonable that in shaping the policy und in enoosing the candidates of tho party thc counties which do must lo secure a Demo-' I eratic victory should bo entitled to tho j birgit representation. Tim voiiug strength of the party, and not thc total populaliuu in thu din ero ot oouotics, should Lo the basis of lOprcscntution in thc conventions of tho party; There aro a number of excellent Democrats in Dorkeley und Denn fort Couti ties, but there ute nut enough ot'thetti. Thc Constitution ol' tho party .should be chanced in (his impoitaiit pelicular. 1 have favored .such a poiiey lor years, und tho exceeding fairness of tho proposition must strike evciy one with great force. There can be no chango in thc composition Of tho August Convention, but that body .should devise some plan by which there can be finnie more rciuttablo basis of repre sentation il.au that which at present exists. - J.

It oaunot bc otherwise than a source ol regret to every thoughtful Democrat to .?ce in different portion!) of our Stulo more 01 lesa controversy mid faction iuuniiestin<> itself in (ho Dciuoorutio Clubs. UuSes? this spirit is ohooked, thc cud of Demo crtic ascendency in South Carolina is not for distant. Factions weakened the Rc publicin party a few yeats ugo to such un extent thul although.!hey hud a majority ol forty thousand voters, their party by schism and lack of unity ol action, lost the State government, und have not yet been able tc recover it. With this practical lesionaste thc result of divisions, thc Democratic party ought to avoid tho rock upon which th( Republican majority was wrecked, lu ul1 dissensions ono or tho oilier party is apt tc bo wrong in thc beginning, but us a geneva thing if tho other party does not assume ? mistaken position, the distention is not upi lo extend very far. Most commonly boll sides in a controversy aro dpt to take ?tide. lVnsihlc groUud in somo purl, of tlic dispute and thcie is thc point where crimination und recrimination begin. In polities there i.-> but one sain rule io govern our ucliom and that is tito right of u majority legiti? mutely and fairly exercised lo rule. The minority of tc-duy, however, may bo thc minority of to morrow, and tlic very ex istence of political ascendency io South Carolina depends upon thc principle ol bea: ?ng und foi bearing, which will maki tlic members of thc puny willing to yield their personal views and wishes to tlioso ol tho majority, trusting (o tho vindication o time und those changea in opinion willoi aie sine to make things even sooner 01 later. In diflicultics like those which hu vt occurred in some parts of thc State, tin advocates of both sides nro moro thai likely to bc excited mid act with verj little deliberation. Things LVO said (lia tiro Useless and unkind-that only fan in stead ol healing thc breach.

Wo hope ii future that all differences between Demo crats in South Carolina, muy to averted We havo lighting enough to do against OU common enemy, and it is most u O fortuna ti to waste our strength in quarrels with cad other. Unity of porposo is not enough It requires unity of action to defeat, tin Republicans in South Carolina, It i: better for us to \ield our preferences ns ti some things, t ha ii to risk losing thc con tro ol South Carolina. At present thc Dem o.-r..cy is in no danger, but if tho loca disSOUSious ure continued it is only n qucstiot of limo us to when these troubles will dis tract our counties and thc State itself.

In October, 1873, Mr. Gibbs sowed tho land in wheat. iu June, 1871, ho harvested nine and one half bushels to '.ho aero. As soon us thc wheat was cut ho sowed whip* noorwill peas aud plowed theai under, having picked cuough peas to pay for tho seed peas, seed wlicac and plowing. Iii 1875 Mr. (Jibbs harvested l-l bushels of wheat. Tho season was belter than tho avetage, however. Tho same pea was sowu und plowed under again. Tho vinos woro so largo this time that u harrow had to bu' run ahead of thc plow in tho samo direction. Twenty bushels of peas pei aero were gnthorcdjthis year which word sold for otic dollar par bushel tho next sum mer. In June, 18715, scvcnt3cu and one half bushels of wheat per aero wcro har-* vested. Peas sowu und turned under as usual, lu IS77 tweuty-thrco bushels ot* wheat per uoro wero harvested. Tho Henson un average one. In tho spring of 1877 clover Recd were sown on tho wheat; und harrowed in with a light harrow, lu 1878 ttio lund was pastured until luto summer. In tho full, tho stand of clover not being .sulGcient to leave over, it was turned under und tho lund put io wheat-. No manure was used nil this lime, except a little stable manure ou a plat that was much poorer than thc rest. The iucreusc seemed to be in tho weight uud length of tho heads and not ir. tho straw. Mr. (J?bbs prefers tho whippoorwill pea, becauso it is curlier and matures moro peas and vines before tho time for plowing und becauso tho vined grow in ti way to bc moro easily turned under. If sown in rows und uultivutc?| j ibo peas aro just so much the better. j A Country Full of Monoy* t Thc Lynchburg Virginian says: Socad idea may bu formed of tho vast amount of oapitul in this country now socking invest.. mont, when it can bu stated that a Now York finnuoicr hus offered to piuco 8200, 000,000 of government bonds, bearing two per cent interest, in ono year's time. Thero is nu doubt, therefore, that ut least 8500, 000,000 of eupilul is really ?coking profitable investment nt this time, und with thc S200,-> 000,000 soon to bo put into circulation by ! disbursement fur pensions and public works, presents an enormous aggregate of money - a sum ample to multo business unusually active in tho autumn if applied to enter prises in legit?malo trade channels. With all the railroads, towns und cities that oro being built in our comparatively now cOutl I ry-ai itch of which is now being reclaimed from tho wilderness-it is simply marvelous that there can bc so much money seeking invesmout in bonds, at such ratos of interest. Dut this is unotucr evidence of the prog-?, russ wc arc making ia tho accumulation of wealth. The great harvests that have been gath ered over this vast continent during tho present summer, will add many millions moro to previous accumulations uud furnish thc curliest of financial stability for years td conic, If thc pcoplo can keep their heads, and avoid falling into wild and uncertain speculations, thc result of which, very of ten, is panic, with ruin to thousands, and general distress in buisucss circles. Dut, so far as appears now, our country is in u most prosperous condition, with cncoura?-? ing prospects fur tho futuro. An Italian professor has issued a ghastly volume on suicide. In all this world it seems Calabria stands lowest on the soalo of those who urn woury of breath. Norway stands third und Ireland fourth.

Tho small German States arc tho very highest.
