''ALLOW .FOB THE CBAWL."
BT JOHN SAXS.
You have often, no doubt, had occasion to nota.
Though the garment, at first, seeuied certain
to please," ,
That, after soma wearing, tha sleeves of your
coat
Toward the shoulder was crawling, by easy
degrees ;
And that's what the clothier, of course, had ia
mind,
When ho said to his customer : "Long ??not
at all!
The sleeve is all right?as you'll presently fiud?
In cutting a coat we allow for the crawl !"
The expression was one wholly now to me thon;
llul it set me a thinking how well it applies
Not merely to coats but to women and man,
In matters of life as they daily arise;
Consider I lie shrinkage of human affairs?
xnc promise, now grew: me performance now
small !
And lest disappointment should com* unawares,
Remember the sleeve?and "allow lor the
cawl !"
Thesttttcsman who asks for your ballot to save
Your country, so ruslily imperiled to-day,
May covet un nthca and not be a knave,
Whatever the tierce opposition may say;
But the ^'platform" to which he so valiantly
clings.
By which he proposes to stand or to fall?
"Resolutions," remember, are slippery things?
Aud in politics always "allow fortlio crawl!"
You are deeply in love with the sweetest of
girls.
An angel in hoops?only wanting the wings
(If angels could purchase such beautiful curls)
Like a ssiaph she smiles; like a siren she
sings !
Ah.' splendid and vast are the fancies of youth,
But down to plaiu facts tlicy finally fall; I
And happy the couple who, tiadiug the truth,
In conjugal kindness "allow for the crawl !"
i
In brief, recollect that in human affairs ;
In social connections ; in travel and trado ; '
In courtship and marriage ; in sermons and i
prayers, ,
Some grains of concession must always be
made. I
In fine, be a prudent, though generous man ;
Unfriendly with none, veracious with all ;
believe in your neighbor ns much as you can, i
And always be sure to "allow for the crawl !"
RELAPSING INTO BARBAR18X. I
An outrugcuus case of superstition is ere- ]
nting great excitement ou Coosaw Island,
and it is feared bloodshed may result before
the interested neighbors are convinced that J
they arc the victims of their own blind faith '
in the supernatural. It seems that a uian t
named Snipe died a short time ago, of cousumption,
and on his death bed remarked
that if he died his death would be owing to 1
the influence of one Dago Ilagood who some 1
time last January came up behind him and \
putting one hand on each shoulder, asked, j
"Who is it ?" a common custom among all
classes. The circumstance was forgotten by
both, and but for the death of Suipc would s
probably never have been recalled had not
Snipe before his death professed to have
had a vision revealing to him that Ilagood's 1
playfulness had bceu the cause of his sick- j
1J CSS. ?
The friends of Snipe believing that his s
dying declaration must be true, sent to Dr.
Johnson to hold au inquest, but the Doctor,
after hearing the particulars, declined to do (
so. Snipe's lather then threatened that if
the law would not punish Hngood that he,
himself, would shoot him on sight. The ,
neighbors ngaiD came to Heaufort for a cor- '
oner, and alter consultation, INIr. Carleton
concluded, for the Rake of preserving the
peace, he had better g.? j and went and held
an inquent, but no further testimony could
be elicited, and when the jury retired to deliberate
he told them that no verdict against
Hagood could be rendered, as there was
nothing to implicate him iu the death of
Snipe. The jury, all colored, after a long
deliberation, refused to render any other
verdict than that of murder against Ilagood,
and so the case stands at present.
cincc the nbuvc was written we have seen
a copy of tho verdict of the jury which is
worth preserving and is as follows: "That
Adatn Snipe caoio to his death at Coosaw
Island, in Beaufort County, on the 11th day
of April, 1877, and that his death was caused
through one Dago llagood, he having '
souie tiuic previously put his hands around
deceased's neck producing a cough and pois- |
oning said Adam Snipe, thereby wilfully,
unlawfully and feloniously causing the death
of the said A djn? ]
anil dignity of said State.
Mr. Carleton very prop irly refused to
commit llagood on such an absurd charge.?
Jicnu/brt Tribune, 4tli inst.
The Port Koyal Advertiser says that the
jury brought in the same verdict three times,
and that Pago llagood is now in jail.?
JVcwx anil Courier.
Figiit with a Grizzly Hkak.?A California
paper says : Last week Mr. NValpolo,
of Lassen county, started out early in the
morning to visit a deer lick. He had his
rifle, bowie knife, and a large deer hound.
On crossing a deep canon he espied a huge
grizzly about fifty or seventy-five yards off.
He pulled up and blazed away, but he only
wouuded the monster, and before lie had
time to reload his rifle the bear was close
upon him. Mr. Walpole hit him on the
1 1 _ !*! iL _ 1 a. .. f L _!U _ 1 1. * I
ncau wiiu ine out 01 11 io run1, ami ins uu.irship
dealt him one oo the jJhouldcr that paralyzed
litttf tor a second. Mr. Walpolc
drew his howic knife and planted it deep in
the breast. This only enraged the animal
still more, and seizing his distroycr in his
powerful arms, gave him an embrace that
rendered him totally unconscious. He lay
where the bear had dropped him until late
in the afternoon, when a neighbor was attracted
to the spot. The bear was found
not far off dead ns a door nail. He measured
eleven feet in length, and weighed in
the neighborhood of 1,400 pounds. Mr.
Walpolc, although badly bruised, is not seriously
injured.

Civility is to a man what beauty is to a
woman. It creates an instantaneous impression
in bis behalf, while the opposite
quality excites prejudice against him. It is
a real ornament, the most beautiful dress
that a man or woman can wear, and worth
more as a means of winning favor than all
the tine clothes and jewels ever worn.

A BLACK BRUTEOn
Friday afternoon last, Jim Houston,
a stalwart negro, souio 25 or 30 years of age,
liviug on tbe pbutatiou of Mr. Samuel
Barron, in tbe vicinity of Tirsah Church
iu this county, whipped a child of bis owu
color so unmercifully that his life is despaired
of. The victim of tho fiend's brutally
is the son of Ed Witherspoon, a neighbor,
and over whom Houston had ne legal
right of ceutrol. Tho littlo boy was at
lloustou's house, however, by iuvitatiou,
and on the evening in question Houston
sent him Oil SOMHI nrrnnil ill Mr Hnrrnii'i
house. Not making tho haste that Houston
desired, when the little boj, only seven
or eight years old, returned to the field
where Houston was at work, the latter tied
the child's aruis ar^uud a tree and proceeded
to .vhip hiui, first, as the bruto himself admits,
using cedar liuibs, and afterwards
hickory withes, coutiuuiug the Angulation
until the child was literally finyed from the
erown of his head to tho soles of his feet.
The child was then made to walk to the
house, where he remained uncarcd for until
the nest cveuiug, when word reached his
father of the cruel treatment he had received
and he was takcu home, aud his body, a
mass of sores, was dressed. Ou Monday
the child was brought to towu for medical
treutmcnt, aud placed uuder care of Dr.
Alexander, who expresses doubt as to its recovery.
Ou application of the father, Triul
Justice Lewis issued a warraut for the arrest
of tho fiend, and he was promptly
brought before that official ou Mjuday afternoon,
aud by hiui committed to jail to
await the result of the injuries inflicted upju
the child.
Houston appears to have no regrets for
liis barbarous act, speaking of it as though
lio had performed a meritorious deed.?
While ou his way from the courtyard to the
{ail, he received the execrations of men and
women of his own color, some of whom
.bought "Governor Hampton wouldn't make
nu h fuss about it if they were to take the
wretch out and give him a similar flogging
O that which he iuflictcd upon tho child
while a colored woman remarked, "Yes, and
f a white man had whipped a negro that
way, a regiment of soldiers would have been
lent here right off!"?Yorkviltc Enquirer.
.
Not Much Ahead.?A man with the
nost lonesome expression an artist ever conurcd
up for canvas halted at an eating
itand 011 the Central Market yesterday, and
laid :
"My good woman, I have been robbed of
sight thousand dollars in this city."
"Poor mau !" she promptly sighed.
"Yes, robbed of eight thousand dollars,
ind I am a hundred miles from home, and
hungry aud penniless."
"And you want something to cat?"
"Yes, uia'am."
"You shall have it. Sit right down
here."
He sat down and she gave liiui some coffee,
a piece of meat and a biscuit. When
he had finished eating, lie said :
"Madam, did you really believe my
story ?"
"No, sir," she answered.
"You thought I lied, did you?"
"I knew you did."
"But you gave nio food."
"feo I did. My boy fouud a dog yesterday,
and gave him more than he could eat.
I simply gave you what was left to save
filling the slop-pail."
"Madam," began the man, as his mouth

Tom's Gold Dust.?"Uncle," said Tom,
one day, "it scents to mc your things don't
look as well as they might.' They were iu
the garden, and "the things" the boy had
his eyes 011 were the currant bushes.
' Well, sir, what can you improve?" said
his uncle.
"I can try on the currants," said Tom.
"They need to be trimmed out, and the
wood cut off, and the right suckers trained."
' Suppose you try,my boy," said his uncle.
His uncle did not believe much would
come of it; but he had reason to change
his mind. Much did cou.e of it. People,
when they walked in the garden, exclaimed,
"What splendod currants you have got!"
' That boy knows how to take care of his
gold dust," said his uncle softly to himself.
Tom went to collego; and every aceouut
they heard of him he was going ahead?
laying a solid foundation for the future.
"Certainly," said his uncle?certainly ;
that boy knows how to take care of his gold
dust."
Hold dust ! Where did Tom get gold

been to California. He never was a miner.

Wiiat an Old Man Has Noticed.?
I havo noticed (hat all men are honest when

I have noticed that purses will hold pen- ^
nies as well as pounds. el
I have noticed that merit is always measured
in the world by i?s success. I1
i nave noticed, 10 nearly all things, that b'
money is the main object id view.
I have uoticed that in order to be a rea- ^
eonnble creature, it is necessary, at times, to
be down-right mad.
1 have noticed that some men jure so honest
that necessity compels t|iMi' dis- $
honest in the cud. $
1 have noticed that silks, broadcloths and
jewels aro often bought with other people's
money.
I have noticed that whatever is, is right, with
a few exceptions?the left leg and the
left side of a pluui pudding.
I have noticed that the prayer of every
selfish man is "Forgive us our debts,"
while lie makes everybody who owes him ^
pay to the utmost farthing. ^
I have noticed that money is tho fool's
wisdom, tho knave's reputation, tho poor
man's desire, tho covetous man's ambition,
and the idol of all.
