A Treat for Breakfast. r
At this time of year, in this region, house- a
keepers are bothered considerably to get a pala- ti
table change ot" diet, particularly for breakfast.
I'oilcd, fried or broilc I ham or bacon, from one
week's end to another is the rule and a tough t
beefsteak or mutton chop the exception ; ami i
with the exception we are often forcibly retain- !
?led of the expression of an old friend that
"Cod sends the meat but the devil sends the t
cooks.' Ilonesekeepers, however, can now make l
a delight ful change by gctlingfrom Mr. I'.ller some 1
of those excellent sailed shad which he has just
received. Soak litem, flesh sole down, for about
1* hours, changing the water twice, and then fry I
them to a nice brown and you will have a disli 1
tit for the gods. We've tried them and speak
from a stomachic standpoint. I

Death of Miss Penelope Johnson.
It is our sad ullicc this week to announce the i
death of one of I'nion's most estimable young 1
ladies, Miss Penelope, eldest daughter of Pol.
David Johnson, Sr., w hich occurred on Saturday
night last. Miss Johnson had been a great sufferer
for litany years, front abranchial alleetion,
which at last settled upon her lungs ; hit' the
consolations of (lie pure christian's faith and
hope enabled Iter to endure her sulfcriugs with
an humble and uncomplaining submission to the
w ill of "Him who tempers the wind to the shorn
h,mih mi l "who "loeili all things well. Her re- i
mains were interred in the Pnisconal Church
graveyard on Sunday afternoon, the I'ev. K. I>.
Smart of the Methodist ('lunch reading the
F.piseopal service in the ahsenec of (he Pa-tor.
The funeral was tl.e largest seen in this town
fir many years, ami the profusion of wreaths
ami flowers which were place t upon her grave
attested the high esteem in which she was held
l?v ttll in the community.

The Crops in Union.
Now that the pickers are in the field a good
estimate can l>e made of the cotton crop. Pickets
as well as Farmers tell us that it will require
the most favorable weather am! a very late frost
to make half a crop of cotton in Union County.
In some sections a half crop cannot he made,
while in others the most fivonhle circum-tinwill
not bring more than half a crop. Pickers
are complaining that the hulls arc small and few
on the stalk, which makes it harder to pick a
hundred pounds than usual.

Much Needed Law.
Jk RRvi.b Suoai-h, .Sept. 14, IS70.
Mil. Kwtfott s?Tlierw ? ? a subject now engaging
the attention of the planters <>r this section,
ami wliicli is of vital importance to every community
in our County ami Slate?one loo upon
which tlie statutes of tho State are comparatively
silent.
I refer to I he "enticing inveigling or moving
away," by one party, the laborers, hirelings or
tenants of another.'' I venture the assertion
lhat no section of our County has been free
from such "enticing, inveigling or moving
away," ami yet the only recourse that the farmer
litis had, has been to the old Cnglish law 011
such cases and the decisions of our Supreme
Court, "fis a sad fact, yet a truthful one, that
re//' iii/rrcrl is (he ruling passion of the majority
jf mankind and, in disregard of all custom or
sotinsel, many a man will wilfully attempt to set
it naught the plans of his neighbor, unless restrained
by the stern edict of a law he tindcritands.
Such a case us the following, often
.ap| ens :
A hires a laborer, or laborers, goes to the expense
of building them a house, moves them from
1 distance, and they have actually commenced
vork for A.?perhaps prepared some of his lands
"or planting?when neighbor 1? comes along or
'mis an 4 by means of higher wages promised,
ntices said laborers away, thereby damaging A
10 little in purse, besides disconcerting his
iTiiuav ui itiiigviuviuo iui vuunuiiu^ Ilia I?UIU3 nil
he year.
What is A's remedy ? As wo lnxve said, only
ccourse to ilac old Knglish statutes. It has nlvays
been to me an inexplicable mystery why
nir Legislators have been so loath or easy on
his subject; ami while we arrogate to ourselves
io extreme or even mc<liiiui foresight upon the
object we are of the opinion that some law like
he following is needed in our State :
Let every man be compelled by statute to enerjnbi
a written contract, the first of every year,
vi'li his hirelings or tenants (unless where the
cuancy is lor a term of years) and in default
f entering into such written agreement let him
r them be debarred from prosecuting or tnainaining
any suit against any person or persons
i ho may '-0111100, inveigle or move away" such
iborer or tenant : and let the Hill contain a
luuse making it a criminal offense against any
icrsou who shall wilfully endeavor, even, or
ilio shall knowingly "entice, inveigle or move
way" said laborer: and let there be, also a
lause empowering the farmer or contractor to
laintain a suit for damages against the oflcner."
This wi le spread custom of interfering
rith a neighbor's laborers has become too commit
: Intl if such a law as we have mentioned
hove is enacted we opne it will not only be
cncticial to the individual farmer and contractr,
but will haven saint try effect,in placing the
tltor of our country upon a more stable and
idioble basis, and thereby add not only to the
mount of crops raised annually, but contribute
t till1 general prosperity of nil. li will leii'l to
rente a stronger confidence between the conraclor
ami his laborers, an.I it will serve to
ilengthen the cords of existing friendships heween
neighbors, instead of engendering those
nternal (or infernal if you please) discords that
tow so often arise and disroot the good feelings
n neighborhoods. |,et Trial Justices be emlowered
to approve and file, in a hook kept for
he purpose, such contracts as may be presented
0 them, charging say, Ul cents for the same,
in J there will be no further trouble, so far as
ill law*-abiding citizens or contractors arc consented.
Until men arc taught by the stern penalties of
the law, that every one has rights, in this particular,
that are sacred and not to he violated
with impunity, there will be a disposition, tinIcrlying
the ground work of our social state, to
lord it with "might over right," and keep in
Continued upheaval the <|uieludc of every community,
and our country will be deteriorating
instead of advancing in that material wealth
utd prosperity which the (Sod of Nature lias
placed in our reach. l?y all means let our Legislators
look into the matter this winter, and
if possible let the law be in operation January

For tlie Times.
Difficulty of Self-Government.
iV e do not say that it is easy to acquire habits
which ate against tlie original tendency of
llio character. For one who is born careless and
procrastinating it is exceedingly difficult to be .
methodical and prompt. The instinct is not to
do to-day what can by any possibility be put off
till to-iuorrow ; and trying to take time by the
forelock involves a struggle and much exertion.
Vet, both method und promptitude are to be
learned, and'human nature, being 011 otfe side
of it, automatic habits are formed whereby that
which was in the beginning beyond measure distasteful
becomes comparatively easy. Those
..Tw, -,...11.. .. lot. I,, t.n, v?V
fill over their minor duties?etui help themselves
by tncclinnical aids. They can put their unanswered
letters, for instance, in one place and
their answered ones in another, ami lake pleasure
in seeing the pile of one diminish while that
of the other increases. They can find enough
energy surely Intake a day for their accountsand
persistenly let the unsettled hook weigh like so
ninny inenhi on their thoughts until they are
properly balanced and arranged. They can
force themselves to he orderly by small beginnings,
if they cannot do tilings all at once; and
they can make themselves ashamed <>f the frightful
muddle in which some people live to which
they themselves arc prone, but which, also, if
tliev will hut sec things as they are. they will
understand is a vice and to he avoided as they
would avoid the beginnings of degradation.?
Alt these things are to tic done by conscious and
eniirngenus self discipline; and without that
self discipline flOftlt??* will !? nooamplialnkl.
There is no more a royal road to good habits
than to learning. Step by step, and with painful
effort, we conquer hero, we subdue there.?
We mould ourselves hit hy hit and bout by hour,
till time comes in to help us with our work, nml
habit reacts on itself hy crystali/.ing and consolidating.
or custom becomes necessity and action
automatic. Then we may say that we have
formed good habits, ami we may he, so far, satisfied
with ourselves. I'ui we must always retnctnber
to our condemnation?if we deserve
condemnation? that the most unsatisfactory inclinations
in the world could have been conquered
and turned to good had we tmt the courage
to attack our secret foes and determine on
forcing our way into the higher class of the self
dcseiplined. And what we can do with the
more mechanical habits ot life we can also do
with the moral nature. The irritable and itn
patient can, if they will, learn calmness and patience,
the fretful can he cheerful, the brooding
open hearted, the passiiim.tc can tame down
those wild beasts, within their hearts and the
jealous can become less selfish ami learn
"altruism" for the good of the world. We
can all have the possibility of a conscious if
we do tint cultivate what we have; and we
all have a certain amount of reasoning faculties
which we might, make more of if we
would. If we will, we may be good, at least up
to a certain point; for though it is not given to
every human being to he a hero or a saint, it is
given to every one. not an idiot or born a castaway,
to rise rather than to fall, to cultivate his
virtues rather than sacrifice to his vices. It is
all a question of self discipline, whether the
good has teen uppermost or tlie bad most cherished.
