timorous flrpavtmcut. A BRIDAL TOUR. , There were three of them. Oue was a bride, the other a happy groom, with red ears and maiden whiskers, and the third was the bride's mother. They were at the Grand Trunk Depot yesterday morning to take the train West. The young man clasped his young wife's fat hand, rolled up his eyes and they seemed happy while the mother-in-law paraded up and down the sitting room with lordly air and seemed well satisfied. Pretty soon the groom went out, and when he returned he threw five pop corn balls and a big bar of peanut candy into the bride's lap, and Vi o tirlnrl tnn nM lorlxr o n rtfKor fika film 11 n imilUVU b ilv VIU AMU J UUVblllyi LJI1 v VUlUbV4 U|7 her nose, raised her spectacles, and thus addressed the young man with red ears: "See here, Peter White, you are married to Sabiutha, ain't you?" "Why, of course." "Aud I have a right to feel an interest in you." "Of course." "Aud we are now on your bridal tower, aint' we?" "Yes." "Well, now, Peter, you've been squandering money all along, Peter. You took a hack ; you bought oysters; you bought a jack-knife ; and you've just thrown money away. I feel that it is my duty to tell you to hold up before you make a fool of yourself?" "Whose money is this?" he asked, growing very red in the face. "It's yours, and what is yours is Sabintha's, and it is my duty, as her mother, to speak out when I see you fooling your money away." "I guess I can take care of my money ?" he retorted. "Perhaps you can, Peter White, but there are those in your family who can't." He struggled with his feelings as the bride shook her head at him and then asked : "Did I marry you ?" "No, sir, you didn't, you little bow-legged apology for a man ; but I have a right to speak for my daughter." "You can speak all you want to, but I want you to understand that I can manage my own affairs, and that I don't care for your advice." "Peter White!" she slowly responded, waiving the peanut candy close to his nose, "I see we've got to have a fuss, and we might as well have it now !" "Ma! ma!" whispered the bride, pulling at the old lady's shawl. "You needn't ma me, Sabintha! This Peter White has deceived us both about temper, and I'm going to tell him just what I think of him ! He commenced this fuss and we'll see who'll end it!" "You mind your business and I'll attend to mine!" growled Peter. "Oh! you hump backed hypocrite!" she hissed, jabbing at his eye with the peanut bar. "Only a month ago you called me 'Mother Hull,' and was going to give me the best room in the new house!" "You'll never have a room in a house of mine!" he exclaimed. "And I don't want one, you red eared hypocrite !" "Don't, Peter?don't, ma!" sobbed the bride. "It's my duty, Sabintha; it's your mother's-!" "Don't cry, Sabby," he interrupted; "don't mind what she says !" "Try to set my daughter up agin me, will you ?" hissed the old lady, as she brought the peanut bar down on his nose. "Oh, ma!" yelled the bride. "You old wretch!" hissed Peter, as he clawed at her. "None of the Whites will ever run over exclaimed the mother-in-law, as she got hold of his shirt collar and hauled him around. "I'll knock your old " "You can't knock nothing!" she interrupted, backing him against the table. "Ma ! Oh-h-h ! ma !" howled Sabintha. The dozen other passengers in the room who nad been interested and amused listeners, here interrupted, and Peter was released from the old lady's grasp, his collar having been torn off and cheek scratched. "I expected this and prepared for it!" panted the mother-in-law, as she leaned against the wall. "This doesn't end it by any means! This bridal tower will come to a stop to-morrow, and then we'll see whether I've got any business to speak up for Sabiutha or not!" As the train moved away the old lady wore a grim smile. Sabiutha was weeping, and Peter was struggling with another paper collar. A Terrible Mistake.?He took the evening train, and, in locking through the cars, discovered a female sitting alone in a seat, and it instantly occurred to him that she might be lonely. A veil dropped over her face, but there was no reason to suppose that she was not good-looking, and he gallantly raised his hat and sat down besides her, remarking, with a lovely smile, "It's lonely traveling alone."

He was practiced in all the arts of polite tactics, and spoke to her softly of this great, desolate world, with appropriate allusions to human hearts. He told her how he had hungered aud thirsted after the affection of a true heart, and had yearned to feel the breath of the heavenly flame of love. "No," he sighed, he had no wife: no one to love and caress him and mend his suspenders ; and when he inquired if she was treading the path of life single and alone, she murmured so pensively and sad that he felt compelled to put his arm on the back of the seat lest she should fall out of the window?which was closed. They reached Bristol, and just as the train stopped he heard a grating, hissing sound close to his ear, and the words, "You villain you old hypocritical sinner! I'll make you think you've been struck by a beam of heavenly flame, you old owl." He looked round just far enough to get a glimpse of a pair of flashing eyes and the; face of his wife, who had murmured to him ' so fondly along the journey. A sudden spasm seized him, but he managed to accompany her from the train ; and as they moved into j the darkness towards home, her flashing eyes lit up his paleface with spectral effect. Ax Uxhkard of Ppesidext.?A Front' Street saloon-keeper is a great historical scholar, and he will argue for hours on issues, events, and men of past celebrity. Old , Preston was well aware of this, and he drop- j ped into the place one warm day last week; and said, "By crackey, Jim, but this is warm ! I haven't been so warm since Gener-1 al Cass was the President of the United j States." "What!" said Jim, "General Cass never was President of the United States." "Why, yes, he was," replied Preston, with well-feigned astonishment. "I'll bet you the drinks for the house he wasn't," said the excited proprietor. "Done!" answered the old man, and he drew forth a pocket-book, unfolded a page of: the Congressional Globe of 1848-9, and pro- J ceeded to read that President Taylor having died on Saturday, and Vice President Fill-' more not being at Washington, the President of the Senate, General Caes, became President of the United States until the following Monday, pending Fillmore's inauguration. When the old man had finished reading he ' looked around and said, "Come up, boys. A little Stoughton in mine, Jim. Must excuse ignorance, you know." Then he rambled out, while Jim rammed the bottle back on the shelf, soused the turabiers in the rinse, aud, as he wiped up the counter, remarked, "I have seen a good many mean men in my time, but for a first-class star, old Preston can take the money." 1 ^gticwWural gtpBrtment. [Original.] AGRICULTURAL SCHOOLS. A notion, radically wrong, prevails with respect to the education of the working class of our country. By working class, we mean farmers and mechanics. It is the current opinion of most persons that lawyers, physicians, merchants and preachers should be educated ; but no education is necessary for those who are designed to labor as farmers and mechanics. The truth is, our people are practically of the notion that manual labor and ignorance are indissolubly wedded. This is the prevailing notion all over the South. If a man is seen engaged in any manual employment, the conclusion is jumped to at once, that the fellow is an ignoramus, with no mental training at all, or is barely able to read and sign his name, so that, with difficulty, it can be read. Unfortunately, this is too near the truth. Our country, to day, is groaning beneath a burden of ignorance, laziness and crime. Ignorance and crime are wedded together. There are certain things that all classes of society should be taught. These lie at the foundation of all education. They form a kind of base upon which a special education may be laid. 1 his acquired, the pupil should be trained in the thiugs which pertain more especially to his proposed avocation. The pupil who expects to spend his life in the practice of law, should study law; the pupil who contemplates the practice of medicine, as the occupation of his life, should study those things which have a direct bearing upon his profession; the pupil who contemplates the preaching of the gospel, should study the Bible. Instructions for the study of law, medicine and theology, we have in all sections of our country. Here the thing stops. It is takeu for granted that men are born with all the training that is necessary to cultivate a farm successfully. This is not the notion of professional men alone ; but of farmers themselves. The same insane notions prevail amongst mechanics and with respect to mechanics. All this stuff about natural competency is nonsense. No man is even capable of farming successfully any more than any man is born a lawyer. Every lawyer learns law by studying law, and then by practicing it. The same is true with respect to farming. In or der to farm successfully, there must be a correct theory, and that theory put into practice, is successful farming. No man is born with theories in his head. These have to be learned. In the nature of things, theory precedes practice. This is just what*^ want acknowledged and followed in this country. We want an agricultural school in every county in the State of South Carolina, in which young men who.expect to make a living by holding the plow, can learn the true theory of cultivating the soil. Some one is ready to say this is a book farming system you are attempting to establish. We care not by what opprobrious name you call it; we need something inaugurated which will produce a change in the farming system of the country. We are sorry it is so, but truth demands that we say that in the South, geuerally, there is more ignorance manifested in the tilling of the soil and less success, considering the climate and soil, than in any place under the shining sun where ag' riculture is followed to the extent that it ie here. Every law of nature is violated by some who call themselves farmers, and only a few are understood and obeyed by any of our Southern farmers. The growth of plants is a subject of which many of our farmers know absolutely nothing. Most of them do not even observe closely enough the growth of the crops which they cultivate, to learn anything about their nature. The reason of this is, most of our farmers have not education sufficient to enable them to study their own profession. They are about as well posted in law as they are in the science of agriculture. We expect the ignorant lawyer or physician to fail. Why should we not expect the farmer, who is ignorant of the nature of his avocation, to fail? He must partially fail, whatever may be our calculations. There are some things which every boy should learn before he takes hold of the handles of the plow, or should study at the same time that he is learning to plow. Learning ; to plow is simply learning to use an imple- j ment. More than this is required to make a j farmer. He must have a knowledge of the j law of vegetable life. The success of the ' farmer depends upon his obedience to these laws. How can he obey a law of which he j knows nothing? The way to learn these laws J is to study them in the school where they are | taught. We have no such schools in our j country. We ought to have them. The wel- j fare of the country requires that such schools be established and properly manned and thor-1 oughly equipped. Boys not Suited to the Farm.?If the 1 only good that a boy did about the farm was to repair the pump, hang gates, make mole j traps, put in rake teeth, file the saw, and hang the grindstone, and he did these things well, obviously the farm is not the place for ! him?but a machine shop is. If a bo/ will walk a half-dozen miles after the day's work ; is done to hear a political speech ; if he ; takes time from play to attend trials before a justice of the peace, and sits up half the night when he is going to school to learn declamations, which brings down the house at spelliing schools, most likely he will do the world more good if you put a law book and not a manure fork into his hand. If he earns more money iu trading jack knives and fish lines on rainy days, thau he does in hoeing potatoes and cutting grain in fair weather, give him a chance at the yard-stick and not have him around troubling the other boys who are handling horse rakes and pitch forks, and the like employments. Again, if a boy i is skillful in skinning small animals and stuff- j ing small birds; if he practiced making pills of mud when he was a child, and extracted teeth c A?i i,, ? ...i?? iruui JttWS Ul ucau 11UJ3C3 MIHI piutxio MUCH he got older; if he reads physiology while his brothers are deep in "Robinson Cruso," he j will be far more likely to succeed with a scythe.?Phrenological Journal. ?. ??

The usual treatment is to give a teaspoonful of castor oil daily, reduce the food, turn the , fowls out and let them stratch, giving them, j morning and evening, a few pills of bread and castile soap, with a pinch of cayenne pepper in each. A western farmer says that he discovered many years ago that wood could be made to last longer than iron in the ground. Time and weather, he says, seem to have no effect on it. Posts can be prepared for less than two cents apiece. This is the recipe : Take boiled linseed oil and stir it in pulverized charcoal to the consistency of paint. Put a j coat of this over the timber, and, he adds, there is not a man who will live to see it rot. i; Reading fa* the ^ahhath. CONDUCTED BY UEV. ROBERT LATHAN. [Original.1 THE FUTURE. It is the opinion of many good men that the kingdom of our Lord and His Christ, is fast approaching. Many are anxiously looking forward for a more general outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon men, when multitudes will be convicted, converted and brought savingly to Jesus Christ. Some are so sanguine as to expect that the year which is drawing nigh, will be a year remarkable for the multitude that will be born from above. May it n.v .1 A OAArnO A Kn ouirlnnf Thp UC J5U.

Although conscious that he is engaged in a had cause, and destined, ultimately, to fail, he never ceases to try. The signs of the times seem to indicate the approach of a change in the moral world. This is an age of revolutions. It may be that we are on the borders of a moral and religious revolution, similar to those which have taken place in the old world at different periods. Martin Luther headed a revolution in Germany ; John Knox, in Scotland, and the "Holy Club," of which John Wesley was the acknowledged leader, in England. These men were but the instruments in God's hand, by which His church was purged of sin, folly and superstition. We do not say that there were no reformers before the individuals mentioned. Neither do we say that there have been none since them. There were reformers before Luther, and there have been reformers since Wesley; but these men stand in the moral world like three huge pillars which mark these epochs in the world's history. There is no land on earth but to-day experiences the trnnrl H/vnp hv these three men. Luther and J Knox freed the world from the thraldom of Popery, and Wesley freed the Church from a lifeless formality. It seems as if the world is Bearing that point where another reformation will be needed. Wickedness is increasing, and the love of many is waxing cold. A cold and lifeless formality has taken possession of many of the Churches in Christendom, whilst others are given up to a vain and unscriptural show. This state of things cannot last. The Church must repent, or she will be chastized. Evidently, God has something against us all. Things are not as they should be. They are not as they would be if we all did our duty. God has a controversy with his church. The sins of his professed people have caused him to lay his chasteniug hand upon us. What will the future be, is the question which we all may ask ? If we repent and do our duty, God will smile upon us and bless us. If we do not repent and do our duty, he will visit us in his anger and chastize us in his displeasure. A good time may be coming, but like the plenty which was once in Samaria, we shall only see it with our eyes, but not taste thereof. [Original.] STARTLING. There was a period iu the world's history when there was no death in the world. It was that period when there was no sin in the world. It was a period of short duration. How long, no one certainly knows. InHpfi, nitely.it lasted from the moment that Adam was created, to the moment that he eat the forbidden fruit. Ever since that fatal act, sin and death have both been in our world and they will remain until "the righteous are all saved, the wicked all damned, and God's eternal government approved." How long that will be no man knows. Although sin has been in the world so long, there seems to be particular periods in which particular sins are more common than they are at other times. Not only so, but there are some sins that are rarely found singly and alone. The individual who habitually is guilty of the one, is either guilty of the other or liable to commit it, at any time. Such is the sin of drunkenness. The man who is a habitual drunkard, rarely is innocent iu every other respect. He is almost certain to be a profane swearer, a dirty-mouthed blackguard, a profligate and a vagabond. When a man becomes a drunkard he becomes something else?no telling what. Drunkness is a sin. It is a heinous sin. It is a complicated sin. A sin against society and a sin against God Almighty. The drunkard may say he buys his own intoxicatiug liquors and pays for them by his own labor; therefore, it is no body's business whether he gets drunk or not! As well might the incendiary say he buys the matches with which he burns his neighbor's dwelling; or the assassin say he buys the instruments with which he murders his unsuspecting victim. No man has a right to trample on the rights of others. The drunkard, by his looks, by his words and by his actions, tramples upon the rights of his fellow men. Every man has it guaranteed to him by the God of nature to be treated decently. This the drunkard can not do. Hence, he sins against society. But great as may be the sin of drunkenness, wneil regarueu as asm against society, it is iar greater when viewed as a sin against God. Drunkenness unfits man for serving?God in this world and, consequently, foreujoying him in the next world. This is a legitimate conclusion and in perfect harmony with the teachings of the Bible. That no drunkard shall inherit enternal life is just as true as whosever believes in Jesus Christ shall be saved. Both declarations rest upon the same authority. If the one declaration is true, so must be the other; if the one is not true, so must be the other. The prevalence of drinking at the present time is alarming. It would be fanaticism to say that the drinking of a single dram is a sin ; but dram drinking leads to a habitual drunkenness. It is evident that with multitudes, dram drinking has already merged into drunkeuness. How is this thing to be stopped ? We auswer, professed Christians must set their faces against the practice. They must discourage the practice by avoiding the appearance of evil themselves aud by living sober and honest lives. Uentleness.?A neatnen wno stood in a crowd iu Calcutta, listening to a missionary disputing with a Brahmin, said he knew which was right, though he did not understand the lauguage. He knew he was in the wrong who lost his temper first. For the most part, this is a very accurate way of judging. Try to avoid debating with people. State your opinion and let them state theirs. If you see that a stick is crooked, and you want people to see how crooked it is, lay a straight rod down beside it; that will be quite enough. But if you are drawn into controversy, use very hard arguments and very soft words. Frequently you can not convince a man by tugging at his reason ; but you can persuade him by winning his affections.?Spurgeon. J&3?" A saint in rags is more honorable than j a sinner in robes. I A NEW FAMILY STORY PAPER ! THE FAMILY VISITOR. ? In order to meet the requirements of a large class of readers who take no interest in much of the reading matter with which the inside pages of the ENQUIRER are necessarily filled, we have determined to commence the publication, on the first of January, 1876, of a new paper, to be called the FAMILY VISITOR, which, besides contain ing matter prepared expressly for it, will also be made up from the LITERARY AND MISCELLANEOUS DEPATMENTSOFTIIE ENQUIRER, thus affording a purely Literary and Miscellaneous publication, entirely devoid of local and other matter unadapted to the tastes of the general reader. To accomplish this object, therefore, the FAMILY VISITOR will contain no matter of a local character, either of the affairs of this or adjoining counties, nor will there be any advertisements of a local nature admitted in its columns. It is the proprietor's purpose, by entirely excluding this class of matter, to render the FAMILY VISITOR an entertaining, instructive Home Companion in every familv throughout the land. THE LITERARY FEATURES. The same Serial Stories published in the ENQUIRER will be transferred to the columns of the FAMILY VISITOR and among other original Stories will be published during the year, "PICGTOLA," a bile of California and frontier life, by MRS. HENRY DEAS; "THE IRON CHEST;" "LOST AND FOUND; OR, THE WHITE FAWN OF THE FOR EST"-stories of unusual merit and replete with dramatic plot and stirring incident. In addition to the Serial Stories, the FAMILY VISITOR will also contain short Tales and Sketches, complete in the numbers containing them. HISTflaiCALSKETCHISOF SIHTICMDLIIA. These admirable Historical Skethos will bo published in the FAMILY VISITOR. They are written by Rkv. Robkrt Lathan, who has bestowed upon the task much thought and extensive research. Tracing the rise and progress of the State from colonial times, the Sketches will also contain the stirring scenes and important events, the anecdotes and. incidents?legendary and authentic?connected with the early history of the State, and which have never before been fully published. Much of the material of the Sketches?especially that relative to the middle and upper portions of the State?being traditional, many of the events portrayed having never been in print, and written in Mr. Lathan's easy, familiar style, they will be read with peculiar interest by all classes; while no more entertaining or instructive history could bo placed in the hands ; of the youth, or those who would inform themselves upon Colonial and Revolutionary events. THE OTHER DEPARTMENTS. THE RELIGIOUS DEPARTMENT. -This Department of the FAMILY VISITOR will be conducted by Rev. Mr. Lathan, and in addition to choice selections, will also contain original articles, on appropriate subjects, from his pen ; and whileahigh moral and religious tone will pervade this Department, nothing shall be admitted of a sectarian or controversial character. CHILDREN'S DEPARTMENT.?A due portion of the FAMILY VISITOR will be appropriated for Children and Youth, and their Department will bo prepared with special care to furnish innocent amusement, and to inculcate knowledge and sound moral principles. AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT.?The Farmer's Department will be prepared with special reference to the needs of Agriculture and Horticulture in the South, containing only practical articles on the subjects discussed. HUMOROUS DEPARTMENT.?To this De a. ? ?in c%A mf r?rl flift WU on/1 Hnmnr of (UlILIIlUllb Win l/U OUllllVW/U wiu ?rivwi?\i ?. the day, including Anecdote, Reparteeand Sentiment, free from coarseness or inelegancies. Besides the above leading features, the FAMILY VISITOR will contain Items on light current topics; a compendium of the freshest and most important General News; Editorials on appropriate subjects, intended to promote the welfare and prosperity of our people; and a variety of other matter interesting and instructive to all.

YORKVILLE ENQUIRER. VOLUME 23.?1870. y THE YORKVILLE ENQUIRER, which, on [1 the lstofJanuary, 1876, will enter upon the Twene ty-hecond volume, is a large, twenty-eight column paper, handsomely printed on clear, legible type, and devoted to the Political, Social, Aog ricultural and commercial interests of the h South. In announcing the new volume, we are s enabled to promise increased attractions in all the a different departments of the paper, conspicuous among them being the Serial Stories, written expressly for the Enquirer. e A.S| a non-partisan, independent family newspas per, the future editorial conduct of the Enquirer 1 can be as well judged by the pastas by any prom* ise which we might now feel disposed to make. n An experience of thirty-five years in the newspar per business?of which time at least one-half has 3 been unremittingly devoted to the management J of the Enquirer?fully convinces the proprietor that the plan he adopted on assuming control of I the paper, is the correct mode of journalism in the present day. The true mission of the newspaper - is to place before the public facts as they may exist, unbiased by partisan feelings or sinister motives; and the propriety of this course is fully attested, j not only by the success of the Enquirer, which - can truthfully claim the largest circulation of any e country newspaper in the South, butalso by many 15 other of the most popular and widely circulated t papers of the day. TTie course thus indicated we y shall continue to pursue, aiming to publish a LITERARY AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER, i which shall be a welcome visitor to the Home Clr? cle, and acceptable alike to all classes of readers. I Hence, the news department of the Enquirer, e whether of matters at homo or abroad?political or otherwise?will be conducted with the utmost care, '? and only facts as they seem to exist, will be pre0 scnted, free from sectional or partv bias. LITERARY DEPARTMENT. r y The original Serial Stories for the new volume will possess unusual interest?being from the pens of the most popular serial writers. With the first number will be commenced a highly ex citing and thrilling story of California and frontier g life, by Mrs. Henry Deas, entitled e PICCIOLA, e . Which, as a vivid portrayal of life on the Pacific r coast, with adventure, crime, temptation and trir umph, is one of the moat sensational, yet capti^ vating and pleasing stories of Western life yet written. This story will be followed by others r throughout the year, of which we can mention ;1 the following as now ready: "THE IRON - CHEST," a story of domestic life, abounding in ? mystery and secresy; and a racy, spirited and roI man tic story entitled "LOST AND FOUND ; Or, e the White Fawn op the Forest." In addition i to these, other stories of unusual interest will be * published during the volume. I HISTORICAL SrETCHES. f The Historical Sketches op the Early - History op South Carolina will constitute an 1 important feature of the volume. These Sketches ^ are written by Rev. Robert Lathan, and commencing with the earliest settlement of the State g in colonial times, gradually trace its rise and pror gress. To the writing and compilation of these 1 Sketches the author has devoted much thought and extensive research. Besides the colonial history, they will contain the stirring scenes and important events, the anecdotes and incidents?leg? endary and authentic?which have never before * been fully published, connected with theRevolul tionary history of the State. Much of the mateit rial of these Sketches being traditional?many of g the events portrayed having never been in print? b and written in Mr. Lathan's easy, fainiliarstyle, ' they will be read with peculiar satisfaction, not only in our own State, but by every one having a just appreciation of the history of anome ancesr try in their struggle forlihertvand independence, ; CHESTER CORRESPONDENCE. To meet the demrfnds of our increasing eirculaH tion in Chester county, we have engaged the sert vices of Brainerh MoLure. Esq., who will con(j tribute a letter of correspondence from Cheater ' 2 regularly eiwh week. These letters are devoted J entirely to Chester affairs?to the interests of the town and county?and written in the racy and a;raphie style peculiar to Mr. McLure, they cannot fail to he of interest to our readers in Chester, 15 as well as elsewhere in the State. THE OTHER DEPARTMENTS. I In addition to the above features, Rev. Mr. Lathan will continue his regular contributions to . the "Sabbath Reading," and the "Children's Der partment," which, under his management for the 1 past six vears, have been an importantattraction ; and with the usual melange of Miscellaneous J Reading adapted to all tastes; the Agricultural e Department, containing practical and useful int formationforthefarmerandhouse-wife; acolumn " of Humorous Reading every week ; "Scraps and ] Facts," embrocingiightcurrenttopics; acompend t of the News Abroad and at Home; Correspondence; Commercial and Market Reports ; Editorial Articles upon appropriate subjects, intended ^o promote the prosperity and welfare of our , people, we hope to make the Enquirer replete ? asanentertaininganrl instructiverarouv journal. ?
