"Your wife is a good washerwoman, isn't she ?" said the young bachelor to the polite and obsequious man. "Yaas, sir; she commonly always gives satisfaction," replied the husband of the laundress. "Well," resumed the young bachelor, in his blandest and most insinuating manner, "you can tell your wife that I esteem her very highly as one possessing many womanly and Christian virtues?a domestic gem and household ornament, a social luminary and moral beacon, an exemplary Christian, a gentle, loving wife, a washerwoman among 10,000, and altogether lovely; but there is one objection." "What's that, sah ?" inquired the smiling African, who had been showing two rows of spotless ivories, and a cavernous opening at the head while his wife was being so extravagantly eulogized. "What'sdat, boss?" "She puts all the starch in my socks, and none in my shirts ; she washes or irons all the buttons off, and forgets to replace them ; exchanges my clothes for those of some other patron, and, if you'll lock at this (holding up a garment) you'll see how inconvenient it would be to wear either pantaloons, cuffs or collars, with such a shirt as she sends me. It may be that she cuts off the arms and collar to make the tail longer, but I can't see what the deuce she should want to rufile the edges for." The darkey looked a little disgusted as he wrapped the garment up to take it home, and he only said : "Idea sending a man dat kin' o' shirt!"?Vicfaburg Herald. +. ^ ? No Accommodation*.?The other night, while oue of the coroners was enjoying his first hour's sleep, a great knocking on the door aroused him, and he put his head out of the window and inquired what was wanted. "Come down, coroner?your services are required !" was the answer. The official hurriedly dressed, descended, and as he reached the gate he inquired : "How far is it ?" "0, only a block and a half," was the re At UUUiU ut a guvu jvnw u mi^ vuivi j uuvivv should make a mistake, and swear in the bestlooking man for governor." "Yes," the governor promptly replied ; "and it would be a greater joke if be should swear in the houestest man as treasurer." The colonel stopped the conversation. A Busy Man.?A citizeu of Vicksburg, who wanted a few hours' work done about his yard the other day, accosted a colored man, and inquired if he would like the job. "I'd like to do it, but I haven't time," was the answer. "Why, you don't seem to be doing any thing." "I don't, eh? Well, now, I'ze gwine a fishin' to day. To-morrow I'ze gwine over de river. Next day I'ze gwine a huutin'. Next day I'ze got to get my butes fixed. Next day I'ze gwine to mend de table, and de Lawd only knows how I'ze gwine to get frew de week onless I hire a man to help me!" The Peroration.?"And when in after days," said a learned counsel in the court, "we meet together around the social health, where I shall no longer be oppresed by the heart and burden of the day ; and you, gentlemen, will find yourselves in other scenes than this, at rest from arduous labors ; then, as we talk together of by-gone times, may you be able to say that the first thing you did on returning to the jury-room, was to unanimously agree that you could place no reliance whatever upon the testimony of that man, John Smith." Pi/.exed.?An old fellow prowling through the alley by Moffat building the other day, came upon a lot of half decayed oranges which had just been thrown out. He was sorting them over when a boy came along, and taking In the situation in an instant, he shouted : "Them's put there to pizen dogs, mister, and if you bite in one of'em yor're a dead mau." The old fellow moved off, and the boy sat down and stuffed himself until he was orange colored clear around behind his ears. They Fixed it.?Two boys, packed away in a sugar hogshead behind one of the stores yesterday, were heard talking as follows : First boy?"So you have to work in the garden, eh ?" Second boy?"Yes; and it's just killing me by inches!" First boy?"I see it is ; but we can fix it. I'll come around there to-night and hoe up all the cabbages, and you git up afore daylight and pull up all of the onions, and then we'll have good times all the rest of the summer." Ax Eye to Trade.?"Papa, did you see those nice little guns down to the store ?" asked a little six-year-old boy. "Yes, Harry, I saw them. But I have so many children to feed and clothe that I cannot afford to buy you one," replied the father, seriously. Little Harry glanced at the baby in the cradle with no loving expression on bis face. Finally he said: "Well, papa, I'll tell you what you can do ; you can swap little Tommy for a gun." I'1 J' The caller finally opened a gate, passed around to the summer kitchen, and as the coroner followed him in he said : "I've been threatening to move that infernal old stove over into the corner for more than a month, and now if you'll take hold we'll have 9orae beer afterwards." The coroner went right home, and when his wife asked him if it was suicide or an accidental death he replied : "Don't talk to me?I'm sleepy. ?. * Ready for Her.?The other day a Detroit mother poured some ink on the pantry shelf near the sugar box, and went up stairs, leaviug her small son playiug with the cat. When she came down the boy sat by the wiudow, wearing a placid, innocent look, but there were ink-stains on his fingers. "There ! you've been at the sugar," she exclaimed, as she seized him by the collar. "Mother, do you think I'd steal sugar?" he asked, in a tone of surprise. "Look at those stains on your finger. What made 'em ?" "T'hnco efaina mntVior "Yes, those stains." "Well, I cannot tell you a bold lie, mother?I think I've commenced to mortify." She wasn't quite sure, and he was allowed to go out and play circus. + A Child's Lesson.?A Louisville parent; who is much given to the very thoughtless habit of swearing whenever his temper is ruffled by even the smallest circumstance, was trying to pull on a pair of wet boots the other day. He was much vexed, as usual, but the presence of his little four-year old boy "Caused him to restrain the tide of oaths that were pressing hard for an outlet. Charlie evidently comprehended the situation, and remarked to his papa that there was only one way to get them on. Pausing a bit for breath, and expressing his impatience for a moment, he said, testily : "What do you know about it?" "Do you really want to know papa?" "Yes; out with it!" "Well," said the precocious Charley, "just cuss 'em on, papa." The father doesn't "cuss" any more now? at least when he's at home. 0 ? The Governor's Joke.?When Governor Harvv and Treasurer Hayes, of Kansas, were about to be sworn into their respective offices en the second Monday in January, 1870, they met in the governor's private room. While waiting for the Supreme Court judge, who was detained for a few moments beyond the appointed time, the treasurer-elect said, lit* ..?..1.1 V?

Every acre of South Carolina will yield, annually, if its surface is J broken six inches deep, fifty dollars clear of all expenses. Wear out every acre of land in the State, and let it lie for fifteen years, and it will be as good as it was when the virgin for- rj est was first cut down. The farmer has fewer ^ difficulties with which to contend in South j Carolina than in any other State in the Union. ^ Never, since the State was first settled, in 1670, has there been a total failure of the crops. If ^ it was too dry for the up-lands, the bottoms ? made a tremendous crop. If it was too wet r for the low-lands, the uplands brought forth in | handfuls. This is a fact which is often ig- t ! nored. . It is worthy to be remembered, that it has [ never been known that an Irishman ever came j ^ to South Carolina who did not accumulate a j f considerable fortune, provided he was not a ; t drunkard. It did not matter how poor he < was when he came ; if he would abstain from fc whisky he grew rich. Another startling fact is, that nine-tenths j of the farmers of South Carolina do not work ? more than eight mouths out of the twelve ; and that they spend more during the four idle t months than they make during the eight months that they work. This is one cause of j the hard times. With farmers, as with other j men, the devil always finds some mischief for idle hands to do. It is a fact to be deplored, that South Carolina farmers do not, as a class, i think much about their occupation. They t are not fond of making experiments. j [Original.] 1 IMPROVEMENT. f The past ten years have been a period of ( sore trial and yexation to most South Caroli- j na farmers. For a period of more than one i * ? 1 1. 1 D/?C 4.L _ hundred ana nicy years previous iu ioou, me ( labor of the State had been performed by t slaves. A few white men, and, at one time, a j still fewer number of white women, labored ? on the farm ; but for the last century it was j not regarded as reputable for a white man to j plow, and it was regarded as bordering on in- t famy, to see a white woman with a hoe in her j hand. Even the slaves of the State, looked ? down, with contempt, upon those whites who , labored. One hundred and fifty years ago, in 1710, there were 4,100 negro*slaves in South Carolina, and 1,100 Iudian slaves, together with 120 white servants. The free white population was only 3,960. Thus, we see that the slave population, at that early day, want* * ed but a little of being twice as large as the ! free white inhabitants. From that day on | the number of slaves increased steadily. It J was regarded, for a long time, as barely hon- i orablefor theowuer of a farm to superintend 1 it; but to hold the plow was quite a different } thing. This fact, of itself, accounts for the ! present condition of things. The young 1 white men of South Carolina, as soon as the war was over and it became evident that the J negro was, to all intents and purposes, free, 1 began with a zeal worthy of a better cause, to ( look out for some position in which they could [ make bread aud not be forced to scratch their 1 hands or soil their clothes. The first year or two after freedom came to ( the negro, the negro women all turned cooks, ^ * ?J m a?% f nwnA/1 moAkoni/to Tf moo *tiuu u1c 11 eg i u uieu IU1UCU LUCUiiau iv/O. jl v nao strange to see a huge negro woman who had f been accustomed, all her life, to cook nothing ) but bacon and corn bread, offering herself as 1 a pastry cook. It was just as ridiculous to . see an awkward field hand attempting to play 1 the part of a house-carpenter. Distressing as 1 the times were, even the soberest could not r suppress a smile when such a creature was f seen at their doors with saw and hammer 1 slung over his shoulder, and a lead pencil ^ neatly adjusted behind his ear. Ridiculous, absurd and laughable as it was ^ for the poor ignorant negroes thus to act when j, turned free; it was no more so than the way g in which a large number of the whites acted, j The country .was soon flooded, not only with 'J cooks and mechanics, but with school-teachers, c clerks and shop-keepers. It has often been c said that times always produce men to meet J present emergencies. Certain it is, that the t few year3 after freedom came to the negr.o, ( produced more school-teachers, clerks, and j office-seekers amongst white boys, than had { been produced in South Carolina from the 3 time that William Sayle landed on Ashley a river, up to that moment. Striplings who j had spent their school days in following t hounds, or in more infamous pursuits, got up v an agreement in which it was proposed to t teach the children of the country "redin, ritin v and rithraatic." One good, sober-sided igno- 1 ramus prosecuted, with success, his claims to j one of the most important and honorable offices in the State, whilst he persisted, during , his official career, in prefixing the following r to many instruments which proceeded from 1 his office: "Aperd befoar mea an was dooly c sourn." 1 This is only a sample. Boys, as if by mag- ' ic, became adepts in all the arts and sciences. t They knew how to do everything, but work ; \ and were ready to do anything but make e bread by the sweat of their face. They were c ready to teach school, sell dry goods or whis- 8 ky, practice law or physic, superintend a sun- ^ day-school or preach, or do anything but hold the plow or drive the plane. Such was the v spasmodic results of freeing the negro. It o I drove both negro and white man to the bor- r j ders of desperation ; or if not to desperation, 0 j to the most ridiculous follies. These days of absurdities are fast passing ! away. They will soon begone, and will serve c ; no other purpose than for future generations r to laugh at. Self-constituted cooks and jack- e leg carpenters, among the negroes, have either 1 ; fallen, or are fast falling back into the class r ! of humble field hands ; and the literary asses and office-seeking jackanapes, among the g j whites, are leaving the groves of the learned, ( and the counting-rooms of the merchant, for t : the beauties of the corn-field. The tables are t i turning. It is no longer a disgrace to work; I ; but to be idle is becoming to be infamous. ( This is a grand improvement. A brighter j day is coming. We will have good times yet. ( The fields of our couutry will be enriched, t and a land for ten years cursed with drones, j s idlers and impostors, will soon be made by 8 ! art, what God made it?a good land?a land which is fanned by as pure air as any on the ^ globe, and from whose hills sparkling foun-11 tains burst to quench the thirst of man and j r : beasts j j South Carolina has been cursed with raon- j s grel politicians and a class of would-be aris- j( tocracy, but their days are numbered. Their ! ? race is run, and their latter eud will be j g shame ; and the time is not far distant, when ' t the rewards of honest toil will be distributed V j ; K to the men of industry and economy. | r ! i Common wheat flour, made into a paste, 11 I with cold water applied dry, will take out c grease spots without injuring the most delicate I a i fabric. I ? parting for the $abhath. CONDUCTED BY REV. ROBERT LATH AN. [Original.] FRUIT-BEARING CHRISTIANS. "Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bring orth much fruit and ye shall be my disciples." fob n 15:8. Most of us who profess to be followers of Tesus Christ, would do well to give these vords of the Saviour our prayerful attention, rhe relation which exists between God the ather, Christ the Saviour, and true Christians, s stated iu the previous context. It is this: Christ is the true vine, God is the cultivator, ind believers in Christ are the branches, rhe test of being iu Christ is stated to be 'bearing much fruit." The fruit meant is, epentance, faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, nid a godly life. Evidently these three hings are wanting to a deplorable degree iu he lives of most professors. "By their fruits," ays the Saviour in another place, "ye shall mow them." Here it is said if ye briug forth nuch fruit?if your lives abound in repenance, in constant dependence by faith on the rnviour, if you are humble, laborious followirs of Christ, then ye shall be, or appear to be, ind be conscious that you are my disciples, tfo more reasonable test could be applied; tnd yet when applied, many must come uuler the head of dead branches?barren Agrees. Many of us rarely are sorry in the ight way for our sins. We hang our heads n shame when our sins are exposed to the knowledge of our fellow men. Then we are :orry that we are disgraced ; but we are not lorry that we have offended our heavenly ather. Our faith is less than a grain of rausard seed. We murmur and repine, and re)el against the providence of God. In our iglorance we often think we could manage the iffairs of the world much better than God loes it. This is not all; our lives are in every mrticular like the lives of our neighbors. We go to church and support the gospel. So lo they. We support a fair exterior. So do hey. They do every thing we do; and when t is asked, what do ye more than others, we ire silent. We can think of nothing save a rnrren profession that marks us as Christians, [t is to be feared that many of us have a name ,o live, whilst, in reality, we are dead. We Hive never ueeu euuvoucu , uc*v*> wuij oined the church. We have uever repented ; ve have only reformed. ? ? t * [Original 1 DEATH. It is not pleasant to think about death ; jut pleasant or unpleasant, the subject is breed upon us. In its sway over the hunan family, death reigns with marked impar;iality. There is no discharge in that war. No favors are shown the rich, and no pity is extended to the poor. The rich and the poor, he old and the young, the strong and the veak, the honored, and the dishonored, are uowed down alike, as if no differences exsted amongst the human family. It is customary to call death a monster. And so it is. It is the first-born of sin ; but .here are greater monsters in the world than leath. An interest in the Lord Jesus Christ ieprives death of its sting and the grave of ts victory. To those of the human family vho have no interest in the Lord Jesus Christ, leath is a monster, aud the grave is an awful dace. It separates the nearest friends, and levers forever the teuderest ties, lo such leath is, in reality, a parting without any relnion. When the wicked man dies, his soul s driven to that place where God has forgoten to be gracious, and his body is laid away u the grave, as in a prison, there to be kept intil Jesus shall come to judge the world in ighteousuess. Then it will be raised up, and oul and body will be united and driven away nto unquenchable fire. This makes death to he wicked man a terrible thing. Not that le dreads it, for many ungodly raeu do not ear death; but it really is a fearful thing, [o the believer in Christ it is made a real blesshg. Were there no such a thing as death, ind other things continued'as they are at iresent, this world would not be inhabitable, die world would literally be full of old, worn >ut, emaciated men and women, who would last a gloom over the whole globe. Every louse would be crammed to its utmost capacty with the living skeletons of human beings, he powers of whose senses had departed. )ur cities and large towns, and even couutry daces, would be tilled with multitudes of old >ersons whose very existeuce would be a ource of misery to themselves, and of gloom nid sadness to the young. It is sad that children are called upon to ay the bodies of their aged parents away in he grave thereto moulder into dust; but it vould be more sad, were they to continue in his world for countless generations afflicted vith the wasting infirmities of old age. Death s a kind of scavenger that carries away the efuse matter and worn out members of the mman family. It is a penalty?the wages of in?but a kind and merciful God, in it as in nauy other things, brings light out of darkless, and order out of confusion. In one word, ie brings good out of evil. The old wear ?ut and they must all die. It is a blessed hing that such is the case. Were all the hunau family since the days of Adam, up to the iresent moment, still living upon this earth, his world would present a haggard sight vhich no language can describe. Lgypt, covired with frogs, would be a lovely place in :oraparison with the world we inhabit were uch the case. Notwithstanding all this, there is something ; -ery solemn connected with death. In the j irder of nature it stands in close connection J vith the resurrection and final judgment. The : irder that God has fixed, is life and death, ! esurrection and judgment. Life, be it long ir short, is the only period that is afforded us j o prepare for eternity. When death lays his ' cy hand upon us, it changes our countenance j ,nd sends us away from this worid of gracious | iDDortunities. It is then eternally too late to ! epeut. At that juncture of affairs God ceass to offer pardon. The Lamb of God beloraes the lion of the tribe of Judah. To the ighteous, hope becomes a reality and faith a 'ruition. To the ungodly offers of mercy cease o be mirae, hope dies and their sin-cursed ouls are met by the frowns of a righteous jod. Then commences the ineffable bliss of he believer, aud the weeping and gnashing of! eeth of the gospel-despiser. That was a wise j >rayer which the ancient poet and patriarch ' iffered up when he besought God that he ! night be enabled so to number his days that ' te might be enabled to apply his heart to wisloin. Not what the world calls wisdom ; but! he true wisdom, the salvation of the immortal oul through the peace-speaking blood of Je us Christ. To die with an interest in Christ Jesus is ! ;reat gain ; but to die in our sins is to lose all. Alien we take a proper view of death and he connection in which it stands with the esurection and the fiual judgment, it is a subect about which we should often think. We hould reflect that when we stand over a fresh lug grave which is soon to receive a lifeless j :orps, that this fact announces to us another act of awful solemnity. It tells us that mother immortal soul has gone to heaven or j o hell, and that another frail body is soon to >e laid in the grave, there to remain until the esurrection, when soul and body will be again j inited and share similar joys, or suffer sirni- : ar woes. To die is a solemn thing ; but to , lie and go to hell aud live with spirits lost in j , pit of endless woe, if thought of aright, must; ill the soul with horror. I JOHN W.
