>THE MAN THE PHINTER LOVES There i? a man (he printer loves, an?l ho is wondrous wise; Whenever he writes (he printer man he dotted* all his i's, And when he Jottcth all of them with carefulness and ease, He punctuates each paragraph and crosses all his t's. Upon one side alone he writes, and never rolls his leaves ; And from the man of ink a smile, and mark "insert," receives, , And when a question he doth ask ? taught wise'y he bnth been ? no tie a i ne goouiy penny stamps lor psstnge back put in. He gives (lie place from which he'writes? his address the printer needs And plainly writes his honored name, so he tint roimcth reads, 'lc reads, rev scs reads, correc's aud rewrites nil again ; And keeps one copy safe and scuds one to the pr liter man. And thus by taking little pains, and trifling care and cost. Assures himself his manuscrips will not be burned or lost. So let all those who long to write take pattern by this man? With jet black ink and paper white do just the best they can. And then the printer man shall know and bless them as bis friends, s\u mrougn me s journey as tuey go, mini that journey ends. ?Loii'lon 'Till-Hits. Mh.Timmi, Stkonc.i.y Emmiiiskd.?Many strong Reformers of Clarendon county are making a strong cllort to get Secretary of State Tindsl to enter the race for Uovernor. The lait issue of the Manning Tum.s contains a card calling on Mr. 'l'indal to enter the race mid a strong editorial endorsing iiitn. Editor Appell says: "The pe< pic of Clarendon have callel upou Mr. Titidal to stand for election, and they have a right to command his services. In calling upon him they rca'izc the necessity of having a man at the head of the government who will so administer the ofliee as to allay the bitterness now existing throughout the State, and bring the people 1 ack to that friendly feeling which existed prior to the revolution of IStH). They n's> realize the damage that is being done to the State by this constant warfare, and believe if there is not something done to pacify matters and restore peace, the Slate will he permanently injured and the Reform movement will go down in disgrace. We must not stop to ask which faction -s doing the damage, but wc should do our utmost to repair any damage done, ami by doing so, tire element of tiie faction who are silicon- in their opposition wid come to us and make the Reform in >ve iniaiii j? miming c*x.'uii|uc lor onin* vein's m follow 5 "hi the name of the llefortucrs of Clarendon we coll upon James K.

They will also recognize in Mr. Timlal a man whose heart is wrapt up in the upbuilding ami success of the deform m >vinient. ami who has devoted years at a sa ritiee to himself for the cause. I.et the llefortners throughout the State when (Itcy go to their club meetings discuss the situation, and say w bet Iter or not the principles we fought so hard for, can be accomplished sooner by having a man at the head whose ambition is to do the greatest good to the gri-atjpl luniitmr Such II TOaU is JatltCS K.

I'n which the Columbia /?.?.'? / gives the following end irscment : This is a strong recommendation find comes from a mm who knows Mr. Tindal intimately and personally. they being of the same county. If Mr. Tindal should enter the race he would have the support of many original lie formers throughout the Sure. It is time lie decided whether he will m ike the canvass, for he may. it lio defers his decision, fuel that promises have been made which will prevent some suppotting liiui who otherwise would.

A. T. V. A Vbuv Tiny I.itti.k li.vnv.?There is quite a curiosity at 24 East Hunter street, in the shape of a recently born giri baby which is attracting ntucli attention and causing considerable discussion. The child, which belongs lo Mr. and Mrs. V. II. Kowii, is probably the smallest one ihat has ever been heard of in the country. It is just eleven inches long and weighs a pound and thrce-quartc: s. Some five weeks ago the babe arrived at the home of the parents and the friends and family thought ii was such a stun 1 child that it cool I hardly live, but strange to say, ii is as well and as hearty as a child "? years of age. The little girl enjoys the best of licabli and gives the parents no trouble at all. One id' the strangest things a' out it is its little limbs, which are about the s ze of a man's finger. The arms tin I legs of the babe aic no larger than the inside of a comuiou sized finger ring and it is with rase that the ring can he put on its arm, by simply putting i s fingers together and pushing tlie ring on its hand. The ring goes to the child's should r without any trouble and does uot seem to hurt it at all, for after the ring is taken off no signs of v. hcic it was slipped on ai c v's h'e The t ny infant can he easily place I in a ' dm > 11 fi,ril..

If any one should see tit to express different views it will only please the writer. And let uie teg you that if you do entertain different views express them through this column: Tli >t it lias been the custom in sonic dis* tiicts to hive-in exhibition of a more or less elaborate nature, no one will nUcuipt to diiiy. The last day has been set apart for yiCt'i/ exercises, and the efforts and thoughts of all the school for two or three months have been bent toward the consutiima ion of such. Th s custom originated many years ago, when the old fashioned education was in vogue, and when ilie exhibition was turned into a kind of verbal examination of the pupils before the trusties an I the patrons t >. show what advancement tin pupils had made. When written examinations were instituted this form of cnicrt!U?m?v<t was abolished; but I lie celebration of tlie last day ot' M'liool was continued and a ligh'cr and more varied programme was subs itiuciV And io-d?y thai school is an exception that does not close with one hundred and one poorly pcrfoiroel dialogues, tnb'eaux, recitations, etc. Indeed co engrossing h is this bee line with some that (ho most important part of the school year is consumed in preparation for such nou-scusical, euervating, and irithiig s'ttlT. Could not this exhibilive preparatory period be spent more profitably? Can we not till the minds ef the children intrusted to cur care and nurture widt something mors stable, elevating, aud useful? To my iiiiud it is obvious that the system generally practiced is wro/iy, and sltoul I be abol slicT at ouce by an cductted pcop'e. The day is mar at baud when time will be spent in another and more profitably way. We have our national holidays, the observance of which is beyond ipiestion, when the pupils will have ample time tor mental diversion and recreation Can we not, then, as an intelligent people, abund >n the exhaustive exhibition that is now in vogue? The last-day exhibition cotncs at a time when both teicher and pupils are almost ex?iiausled atul the addition of extra work is particularly burdensome, i-'iuul examination will <>e passed over in a cursory manner. it not supplanted altogether. Valuab'e lessons wi 1 be burled aside for rehearsal, fun, an 1 Coin ion! performances. The good wo k of the session is uarlial'v obit crated by I his nauseating diversion. lhe-c are a few reasons why I most positive y say that this custom ought to ho aband uivd. The time has gone t>y when tilings should b?. done simply because the} have always been so done, and Lite people >'ti,c f?st rea i/.iug thai they shou d not be d no nt all. The incoming custom, the one that is practiced by the schools if the North, which requires but little preparation and is far more p casing, has b en lately adopted by a few Southern Schools, to celebrate ihc day by a school picnic. Have a pleasant picnic, i ivile a few prominent educitors to address 11 c sell ad on some liteiary subject, and invite the surrounding schools to come and enjoy the day ty.lh your school. A tdcis^nj, day of recrcal on, giinos aUd luuoh ta Cnj?y* ed by all and is, indeed, an appropriate cvlebra!ion for the last dny of scltool. .Such a celebration 1 have at the c^oso of my school every June. If you wish to know how much we enjoy it, I mo?t cordially invite nil my Co.low teachers to be present tit my closing, on lllld of ibis mouth; furthermore, bring as many of your fiicmls ns tvisli to come. o "Before you are n d zen years older you wi.l s.e Itaif the S ales in the Union following the example of S nth Carolina.''
