A few afternoons ago we were in the union depot, at Columbi i, wait ing for the departure of the Charles ton train. Anrio'js. rc atless people were moving in evtry direotion about the depot. We sat there and studied the faces of numbers of them as they walked around. We oould easily toll tho woman of culture and refinement, and feel sure of her social standing. Her face and form and manner told her position in life. And it was easy to select tho gentle man ; the man who had hadjoppor tunities, and who bad soon some thing *f thu world. But somehow it soemed to us that in all that crowd our eyes did not fall upon ono whose face, dress and demeanor made tho impression on us that ho was any thing Uko the gentleman of former days. His conduct, in the presenco of ladies, lacked evidence of that gallantry so conspicuous in tho old-' time gentleman. Ile would whip out his deadly cigarette, strike a match on tho back of his leg, sti k the llamo to tho thing and puff away. It ;\11 seemed to he a matter of | course, and tho young women chatted away with him as merrily as you please. Finally our eyes restodgjupon a courtly old gentlomanj standing in front of tho door. Ile and a young man had just met, and soon wero engaged in earnest 2 conversation. They appeared mutually deferential the ono to the other, but somehow it | seemed to us that tim elder outdid the younger, and it was all so easy and graceful. At last a lady ap proached, having recognized thc elderly man. As quick as thought one hand grasped his hat, which ho raised from his head, while he gave her tho other, with a hearty hand shake. There ho stood, with bat raised, as tho conversation went on. There was not tho slightest cidenco of affectation or formality. It seemed to be second nature with him, and just the thing for a gentleman to clo. We said to ourselves, there is a gen tleman-a gentleman of tho old Wschool-and for the lack of his type * thc manhood and tho womanhood of our State aro all the worse off. We knew him when we first"saw bim. Wo knew him ovor ^thirty years ago when we were a student at Furmaii University. I Ie J was a gentleman then. Ho is still one, Ile was a gentleman when bo rode at the hoad of his men and led them into the deadly coull ?otu that tried the souls of his noble braves. Ile ^^was younger when we first saw him, Splint lie is tho Haine gallant, affable gentleman, whoso agc can never take away from him his magnanimity of soul and his high regard for ladies, and his genuine politeness. We wonder if such men oro (?not born gentlemen, and if they can really help being what they aro ! Be it so. We wish the young men of this day could learn of them the genuine worth of true politeness, and prac tice it until it should become second nature with them. The man to whom wo refer was called by tho students and almost every one eine in Green ville, where he was rector rof Christ Ch ?roh years ago, Gen. Ellison Ca pers. They call him now Bishop Capers. Grand old veteran of the cross-wo wish the world ?had more soldiers like you to striko for that Christianity which softens, refines any elevates men to the highest typo of manhood. Tho groatost compli ment that can he paid to any one is to say that ho is a Christian gentle man. No one nood trouble himself to say this about Bishop Ellison Ca pers, for his manner proclaims tho fact with far moro oloquonco than words can.-Greenwood Journal. \ Th? Evil Ol Profanity. I now have a little time at my ooxumand and I do not know how I can better engage myself than to write a few words in regard to thajt j vioe which to my mind towers like the Alps compared with the other vices common to mankind. I refer to profanity, the disrespectful use of God's name, that always inexcusable and moBt fearful habit some people dare. Yes, dare to engage is a dare to their Creator himself, personally and direot to his faoe. What de fiance. What an insult ! How oan man do it and still live ? It's past ] comprehending. But why is pro fanity suoh a sin ? Why is it wrong j at all, since it is not a sin against our fellow man ? There is but ono answer. It is sin direot against God himself. God's name is holy and an objeot of respect and adoration in the highest. David said, "How ex cellent is thy name in all the earth." Yes, God's namo excels all others. There is but ono name given whereby we may be saved, and yet some will dishonor that preoious name with vile oaths and obsoeno language. What a shame ! What wickedness ! If we aro to give an acoount for our idle words, then what about our pro fanity ? Aro we not taught that it is | not that which goeth into a man, that defiles him, but that which pro ceedeth out from h'm. And how true it is. Now liston ! Had you thought of it. The first petition which we aro taught to invoke in the Lord's prayer is "Hallowed be Thy Name ?" Amen ! So let it bo now and for evermore. Then again, if there is | any ono* namo that is doar and pre oious it is God's name. Why, man, do wo not have eternal lifo only by believing on that name? If then by behoving and honoring that precious name, we have eternal life, what but eternal death shall be our lot if we abuse and dishonor that name ? A child can understand that proposi tion and none but an idiot need stumble. Now liually. One dis tinction accorded to the redeemed in heaven above is that God has Baid that his very name shall rest upon them-a glorious honor. Now, man, hear me ! When you make uso of | God's holy name disrespectfully, you do all in your power to discredit and cheapen that honor and glory that God has conferred upon the dear ones of yours who have gone before. You would take their crown of glory and trample upon it. Now, man, will you quit?-N. L. Fant, in An derson Mail. Roso Valued at $30,000. A new rose of exceptional beauty was originated by a Washington gardener, and retained there because Washington florists outbid their ri vals, nod a new and bountiful fern constituted the main attraction of the flower and chrysanthemum show, which formed a feature of the I monthly meeting of the Washington Florists' Club, hold recently. Thc new Queen Beatrice rose is a peculiar shade of pink, which has the unusual quality of showing up well io any light. It was originated by Peter Bissett, gardener to Mrs. Gardiner Hubbard, at her country seat at Twin Oaks. Florists all over tho United States were anxious to own this plant, but F. H. Kramer, of Washington, bas bought it and values it at $80,000. The club bas awarded to tho now Queen Beatrice rose a certificate of merit, the first of tho kind ever given by the club. Tho'new flower is so striking and beautiful that all con sented to the award. Thc new fern was obtained from the tropics by plant breeders at Soar? borough-on-the-Hudson. Tho scien tific name for it is "Neophroiosis Boworsii," and it is one of the most a-tractive and showy members of tho fern family. 60 YE^RS* PERIENCE TRADE MARKS DESIGNS COPYRIGHTS AC.
