The Convention was called to order by the President. A resolution was adopted to appoint a j committco from each County, to nominate suitable persons to rcpresont the State in the -National Labor Couveution, to be , held in Washington City, in December next. The committee recomuicuded the following: Joseph IL Ruiney, J. J. Wright, W. 1$. Nash, Lucius Wimbush, colored; ?Simeon Corley, Thomas J. Mackey, while. A member from Orangcburg offered a resolution?which was laid upon the ta ble, after much discussiou?that the fol lowing rates of wages be given to labo rers for cultivating cotton and corn : First class, $15 ; second, ?12 : third, $9; per month; and the laborers shall receive in addition to the above: 3 lbs. bacou, per week, peck com, quart molasses, pint salt, for his board ; and if working for a share of the crop, they shall receive ouc half of all the provision crop Hud one third of the cotton raised upon the farm. The planters to furnish all the farming utensils and sufficient horse power to carry on the limn. She Committee appointed to niemori \ alizo the General Assembly, through their Chairman, T. J. Mackcy, submitted the following : The laborers of /the State of South Carolina, in Convention assembled, beg leave to memorialize your honorable bod)', to furnish an appropriate and effectual remedy Ihr some of the grievances wliich the agricultural laborer now sutlers at tho'hands of the large majority of his employers. We 'believe thut there is no natural antagonism between the interests of the planter and those of the laborer; but on ttte contrary, that fair dealing and a rigid performance of duty on the part of each, will secure the prosperity o! both. We arc aw.no thut luuuy bf thy wrongs to which laborers arc subjected uro beyond lite reach of legislation, but must find their redress in the organized efforts of rhu laborers themselves, acting unitedly within the lines of the law, with a wise regard to the equitable claims of capital and the inalienable rights of labor. Though your honorable body are restricted by constitutional limi tations from fixing the rate ol wages, it is within the scope of your authority to insure more fully than at present their speedy and certain collection ; und. also, by suitable laws, to confer upon the la borer a greater power of self-protection than he now posK. ses, &0. 1. That the claim of the agricultural laborer, for wages duo, shall operate as a preferred lien upon the laud that he works, and that the planter or owner of said land that he works, shall not sell or alienate the same, until such claim is sat isfied. 2. That the Governor shall appoint a discreet un^ proper poison, in euch Coun ty, who shall be designated as "Commis sioner of Contracts j" such person shall be charged with the duty of examining and attesting all contracts between the planter and the laborer, and Bhull act as advisory counsel of the laborer upon nil questions that uiay arise under his con tract, lie shall make a quarterly report to the Bureau of Agricultural Statistics, setting forth the number of laborers in his County ; how employed; tho rate of waged paid and the names ol planters and laborers who may have violated their contracts; all of which shall be laid be fore the General Assembly, at the com mencement of eacl. sessiou thereof, and shall be published for general informa tion. 3. That suits,- of all classes of laborers or employees, for wages due them, shall have precedence oti the calendars of the courts, over all other civil suits, and shall be heard at. the first term of the court, after the declaration of the plain, till'in the same'shall have been filed 4. That the Governor shall bo author [ ized to appoint in each County an officer, whoso duty it shall be to make up the list of jurors and superintend th'c draw ing td (be same, in order that the labor ing classes may have a fair representation on tho juries?n privilege which is prac tically denied thorn in the rural districts, under the operation of the present sys tem*. 5. That when lauds are sold under ex ecution, tho Sheriff shall divido them as nearly as practicable into tracts not ex ceeding fifty acres each, in order that tho small capitalists may be enabled to pur chase. Wo believe that this measure will greatly facilitate .the acquisition ef laud by tho landless, and that it can be rendered legally practicable, by provid ing that the decree of sale 5? each case shall doolaro that ouly so much oi the debtor's Inud, or tho sub-divisions there of, shall bo sold ns may bo necessary to satisfy the judgment. G. That all due bills given by planters to laborers shall specify in terms the special consideration for which the same shall have been given, and shall bo traus fcrublo at the optiou of the holder, and shall operate as a lien upon the crop and land, whenever such due bill is given in lieu of payment for agricultural labor. That nine hours shall bo u lawful day a work' for all mechanics and lahorers en gaged in manufactures, or in any busi ness requiring skilled labor. 7. Abolish all taxes on sales of cotton nnd rice, by cither State or municipal authorities. A Committee of nine, consisting of 1>. V. Jackcon, T. J. Maekey. J. W. ffogan, B. J. Yocum, white; Jos. II. Uuiuey, W. ?. Nash, \V. W. Tucker, Porter Smith, and Lawrence Cain, colored, was appointed to issue an address to the peo ple of the State. '?% A resolution, recommending the forma uf "Mechanical Associations" in each County in the State, was adopted. ? After the usual complimentary resolu tion to the officers of the Convention, it was adjourned sine die, wil^h three time* three clivers. .1? in Is to Farmers. In dressing your fields, cut .your coat according to the cloth. That is. don't run in debt for fertilizers. When your sheep a'ro fleeced, don't lot the wool deal ; ers pull the wool over your eyes, as re gards its value. Never tr' j ton bed itt your house in the day time, while there are plenty of beds in your garden that require your at tool ion. Tiio It;.-; iovcsiuicut of all farmers^ should hi in pTow-x/<W/rs. Nothing pays usurer dividend, yet not always large; but it is certain. ? When you feel like currying favors, go into your stable, and curry your horses, and other stuck. Tlnit pays best. J)o not, as money brokers do with stock, sell your stock of hay ? short." It is better to have several tons loft over till another season. The time to Bhcnr sheep is. when you throw off your own overcoat for the sea son. When a fanners hears a scrnmn on mending one's ways, he should look to his limes, and bridges, and bridges, and sec if all is safe for loaded teams. Gardens should always be put under guard?picket guard, or his fowls will come up to tlic scratch, if ho does not. The only kind of stakes that farmers should hold, are fonco stakes. After raising the best crops you can. the next best thing to raise, is the mort gage ou your farm. When that is '?taken up," a farmer feels "first rate. Never harrow the feelings of people by uncovering old evils; but harrow your fields as much as you please, and nobody will find fault! Ratuy days may be woll spent in prac ticing denistry on rakes and harrows. If a farmer feels like travelling, let him plant hops, and ho can then go from pole t<> ]!<?!<, without much expense. The farmer who can't work without his lager beer, in a few year.- find anoth er kind of hier necessary. No farmer's wife should r. m over her chickens, till they are grown up, as many a little brood has disappeared, one by one, the work of rats. Purity op Character,?There are in youth a beauty ami parity of charnt ter which, when OlICO loin lied nnd defiled, can never he restored ; a fringo more delicate than frostwork, and which when, once torn, and broken, can never be rccmbroidered. ,IIo who spots and soils his garments in youth, though ho tuny seek to make them white again, can never wholly do so, even if ho wash them with his tears. Think of this, ye littlo folks and live so in youth, that when you Come to In; old, there may be.no part of your life that you would feign live over to correct. . An Irishman entered a b.nher-shop, ate with a brush a cup of lather, dug out the ball of soap ut tho buttotu of the cup, ate that, and snt down to warm bis foet. "How did you like your lunch V msked a by-stnudor. Said Pat: "The custard was illegant, but, by my soul, 1 I b'lnvo the egg was a little too long in the wnthcr!" Agricultural Items. ? Jonah Swan, of Milton, Vt, has a grade Durham cow, f:vc .years old, that averaged through tho month ot Juno forty--three pounds of milk per day, and did it without any extra feed, running with nineteen other cows, and having the name feed. The Country Cicntlcmao eays: Tho canker worm in its I:uj,va state, is a mca?ur'iiiff worin, nearly an inch long: tenfootcd. The perfect female insect nearly without wings, ctujffls up the trunk of the tree to deposit their eggs. The i remedies consist therefore in contrivances to prevent tho female from ascending tho tree. A hejt ol canvas or thick paper coated with a mixture of tar and train nil, frequently renewed, has boon em ployed. Circular strjps of zinc, about lour inches wide, cut so that the outer edge may stand outward and downward, like the rim of an umbrella, have proved very efficient. Tho insects cannot crawl around this projection. Sheet iron hat been tried, but thoy cling to the rusty edge and got urdund it. An analysis by Prof! Johnson, of Yale I,College, ol sixteen different kinds of I Tertili/.ers, some of which are sold us high us **'>.?> a ton', shows that a very j large proportion of them are worthless. One specimen, selling at a ton. was shown to be really worth, as a fertilizer, not more than 82.33. Tho first class that graduated at the Now Jersey Agricultural College con sisted of seven young men, of whom one is a farmer, one a railroad engineer, one a mechanical engineer, one a geologist, one a mineralogist, and two are teachers.

A Michigan ?Jokk.?A constable in Michigan recently had a severe "tttssi I" with !. prisoner whom be had taken into custody, and whose clothes were nil torn oil', excepting a shirt during tin drug tie, and who finally made his escape in that plight. While in search of his prisoner, the constable was told by ?'. person to whom he bad relate 1 the Hlory, that ! there bad appeared tit the bouse of one of the neighbors, during tho night, an individual who was stark naked, and who rofuscd to give an ticcotiul of himself, 'flu; neighbor further said that the stranger was still in the house, and might yet be taken, The constable flew around, trot his handcUfis, and rode up to the residence of the informant, to find that the lady of the bonsc had given birth during the night to a very line baby. As the up train on the ?pnrtanblirg ami Union llailroad was passing near Mr. tiist's the other day, a colored woman in attempting to pull a child of (1 in track, was struck by tho engine, and 80 much injured that there \\.e< little hope of her recovery when the train Iclthcr. A coloied man named .lames Daily, residing near Charleston, was murdon ? by soino unknown parties on Saturday night and tho body placed on the rail road track. The Mean Man who got Converted, BY THE "FAT CONTRIBUTOR." Thorc wag a gj*cat revival in tho region where Old Smithcrs, aa everybody colled him, lived, and it took hold of him one day. Smithera was a dreadiul mean man, oppressive to the*poor and all that, and never paying n debt if he could help it. He had been known to turn a poor j widow with a family of small children | out into the street of a cold winter's d?yy because she was unable to pay the rent of I he miserable shanty ahe had of him. ill.- was only known as "Old Smithcrs," although he wasn't so very old cither, but we have noticed that mean men have the prefix "Old" attached to their names, generally, when their neighbors speak of t hem. Old Smithera ' took a habit," as they say in Wisconsin, to attend one of the ''protracted meetings." lie was struck with conviction the first nig':t and hope fully converted, as he claimed, the next. Alter*his conversion he was announced to address his fellow sinners and sintier ossps on the fhihiwiiu* Sunday afternoon The news that Oid Smithera hud got re ligion spread all ub ?ut the neighborhood. Ho.he doubted it; said he was putting it on so as to skin folks a little closer; others more charitable, said it might be true, and they hoped ho would nut be so \ : tu in the future, if it was. When Sunday nftcruoou arrived the church was crowded. The entire neigh borhood turned out to hear what80mean .1 man ns Old Sliiithors would say for himself nftor passing through conviction and conversion. All was still in the church when Old Smithcrs arose tospouk lie begun by tolling what a mean man he had been all his life. Ue said he had probably done more mean things than any mail of It's years and opportunities living, and if there was any mean thing he had foiled to d ?. it v. atj either because In; hadn't thought of it, or there was no good chalice. After going somewhat into detail regarding his meanness, as tonishing even those \. Ito thought they knew him best with tho recital, and de claring his utter unworthiness, he re sumed his. seat. 'J hero was a brief pause, after which it neighbor of Old Suiithcrs, a member of the church, arose and said: "1 have lived nigh neighbor to .Brother Smithcrs lor a long lime. 1 have just listened to Brother Sin it hers' remarks, and an iu , tiinato acquaintance with him und his ? actions It r many years. 1 am prepared to I indorse, in the fullest manner, all the I charges he has made against himself. I and moro too. lie is certainly the [ meatiest mau I ever knew in the whole j course of my lite"?and sat down. Then arose Old Smithcrs, pale and trembling with rage and exclaimed: "Ita a lie. ami I'M whip you a* soon uh you luave th?- church." - ? w ? - - - ?gu? COLOKKD TlIEOLOOV.?' Say Mr. Junis is dar any place in de Bible whar a cuilur'd pussou is-mention'd ?" said old \ 'jossir to his friend. "Well dtiris, an' if you'd bceu to mcot'ii Sunday ye'd heard the prCachen read how Nigger Demus wanted to be born agin." ? Wh' wh'! what ho want to bo born agin for?" ?1 dunuo; 1 .-pec bethought he might I 0 born a white man next time; tin' dar .? ;. good many niggers nlibo now jes like old Demus, but dcy'll all s bo niggers a?Jy how."

Utilizing the Old Man.?Au occasional correspondent of ours, meeting a party il Bettlers the other day in Texas, 1 inquired from the conductor what the men in the fust wagon werninlouded for. "To dear the forests." "\\ ell," s.iid he, ' and what arc those ;n the second for ?" "To build the huts," was the reply. ??And that old white-headed man in the third wagon?what mho for?" was tho next question usked, to which the reply was given : ? Oh. that's my ritlier ; we shall opcu our new cemetery with him I" Our correspondent did not inquire further. What is Thine Aoe.?"Father," said a Persian monarch to an old man who, according to oricntial usuago, bowed before the sovereign's throne, "pray be seated; I cannot rcccivo homage from one bent with yoars, nnd whoso head is. white with the frosts of nge. "And now, father," said tho monarch, when the old man had tak; n the proffer ed scat, "toll me thine age, how many of the sun's revolutions hast thou count ed rt "Sire," answered the old man, "I am but four years old." "What!'' interrupted the king, "fenr est thou not to answer tue falsely, or dost thou jest <mi the very brink of the tomb?" * "I speak not falsely, sir.'" replied the aged man, "neither would 1 offer a fool ish jest on a subject so solemn. Eighty long years have I waited in folly and sin ful pleasures and in amassing wealth, none of which 1 can take with me when I leave this world. Four years only have I spent in doing good to my follow-men ; and shall I count those years that have been utterly wasted ? Arc they not worse than a blank, and is not that por tion only worthy to be reckoned as a part of my life which has truly answered life's best end ?" A Bl.iUHT Mistake.?A gentleman of unquestioned respectability went home late at night. The moon was shining brightly, and after entering the gate in approaching the house, he was surprised to see the figure of a man rise suddenly and face him. The circumstanc was well calculated to make any one tremble. Burglars and robbers were in the city. It was reasonable to suppose this Wai one. But tho gentleman has always understood ti.at iu such emergencies it was always best to put on a show of courage oven if you didn't feel any. To this end he put his baud in his pocket, and then withdrawing it, extended it ttowurds the tuppm-ed outlaw as if jio had a pistol in it and meant to Bhoot Iii 111. The man did the same. Now, the gentle man was only making believe be had a pistol, for he had none ; but he was not certain that the intruder was equally deficient in lire-arm.s. On Hie contrary, he thought be was urnrftf, and the jitccly glitter of a pistol be was sure was flashing before his eyes. 11 is hair bristled with horror, und he cried out. ^ "Stop, you rascal, don't shoot, don't shoot." But still the arm was extended, and the fear of death was heavy upon the gentleman, lie shouted murder, thieves and robbers ! The loud outcries of the frightened citizen nroused his wife, who came rush ing to the door, terror-stricken, inquiring the cause of the alarm. "Why, that rascal is going to .-boot me !" j "What rascal, my dear?" inquired the holy. "There, don't you see him ?" pointing to the siill silent figure. "Why, my dear, that'syour shadow!" "Your shadow." ??Blessed if it ain't; I thought it was a man." % "No, my dear, it i? only tho reflection of a brute, and a very tight one at that." And the "salubrious" citizen was con ducted to bis ei)iich.?2V. U. Pleammc. There was once n very illiterate gen tleman (one Beter Peterson) appointed as justice of the peace. Tho first day Ilia clerk banded him a duplicate writ. "Well, wot shall I do with it ':" was the query. "Nothing but sign your initials." ".My iiisbuls?what are they ?" "Why, two PV replied the clerk im patiently. Cold perspiration stood on the fore head cd' the unhappy magistrate, and be seized n pen, und with desperation in his lace, he wrote : "Too pe/.e." The'longer a woman remains single, tho more apprehensive will she be of entering into the state of wedlock. At seventeen or eighteen a girl will plunge into it, often without the least tear; at twenty she begins to think; at twenty four, weigh and discriminate] at twenty eight, will be afraid of venturing.: at thirty*, will turn about, look down the bill she ascended, and sometimes rejoice, and sometimes repent, that she has at tained that summit. It^is to be feared, however, that tho repentant class pre dominate, from fooling of roraorse through early coquetry. "Died of a Frying Pan"?Is the ' epitaph which the Columbus (Ga.)
