' "J don't know what you mean." was tho
pjjmpfe answer. ,
' "There, your Honor," said the counsel, ad

necessary to demonstrate the validity of my

She does not comprehend the nature of an
oath.:' A

Assured by the kind tone and manner of the

The little girl stepped hack with a look of
horror, and the red blood mantled inrt blush
all over her face and neck, as sho answered?
\"
She thought ho meant to inquire if .'ho had

again.
The child took tho Bible, and turning rapid
ly to thu chanter containing the flonuuatidmonts,
pointed to tho injunction, '*Tl|tui idialt not hear

that huforu 1 could road."
''Has any ouo talked with you about your

The session of tho South Carolina Confer
ence was held last wcek'io >M organ ton N<.C.
To reach this place by Hail Koad, we wer?'
carried by Columbia to Charlotte, and thence
to Salisbury where the Western North Carolina 1
makes connection with the main line of travel
east. This tour to the east is necessary, from
the fact that, the road from Charlotte toHtatcs
burg is not in use at present, the iron having
been used in the war for military roads. The
Wcsteru North Carolina road is. an important
enterprise, and will soon connect the rich grain
region of Ohio, with the sea-ports of tho old
North State. It. is already completed to Mor
gnnton. and will soon he extended to Ashville,
Tennessee, thence to Morristown and oil to
Ciueinnatti. This will bring the seaboard of
the State in easy connect ion with the trade of
the West. When this road shall he completed
it will be the policy of South Carolina to ex
tend the road from Sparfanburg to Ashville
and thus have direct communication with the
great West aiso. We shall need the hour and
bacon that they have for market and Charles
ton will be its natural depot. Wc hope it will
not be many years before we will be building
factories and extending Pail Roads, and in
every way moving with renewed life in the
march of improvement.

The closing of Aut 1, of the. (J eorgi{\ Recon

that the Treasurer said he must deolinc paying

Another said, "would to God thd Cimvcntiou
