NOT THAT KIND OF A MAN.
Rev. Dr. P. the other day found a pact of
playing cards in the possession of his oldest
boy, and after giving the lad a thrashing for
owning such engines of Satan, the doctor
placed the cards in bis own pocket, intending
to destroy them at the first opportunity. But
he forgot about. them, and subsequently,
while on the cars on the way to the city/ he
pulled out his handkerchief, and the cards
came out with it and fell upon the floor. The
doctor gathered them up, with a very red
face, and while he was arranging them in
his hbnd, he saw a rough-looking man in the
seat opposite to him wink at him. He turned
1 1 J 1 l_? J -
is neaa away, out upoa loo&iug aruuuu a
moment later, the man winked at him again.
Then he winked several times, and finally
he came over, and sitting down by the side of
the doctor, he said:
"I say, pardner, what's your little game 1"
"I don't understand you, sir," replied the
doctor.
"Oh, you needn't mind me," said the man.
"I'm doing a little at that thing myself.
Now, how do you work it?"
"What do you mean ? How do I work
what ?"
"Oh, you know well enough. What' do
you skin 'em on ?"
"Skin them! Skin who ? Really, sir, your
remarks are incomprehensible to me." *
"Now, see here.. I understand the whole
thing. You're hunting up somebody to plej
seven-up with, and you intend to beat them
out of their money. Now don't you!"
"You don't know who you are talking to."
."Now, I'll tell you what I'll' do. There's
uo man ou this earth that kin turn jacks
faster'n I kin; and less me an you start up a
game on some of these fellers, and I'll rifn
three or four jacks up my sleeve, with a couple
of aces, maybe, and when we get to town

we ii awiae me pronis auu go uuwu nuu gut
roaring drunk at the tavern. Is it a bargain
?"
"You are a scoundrel, sir!" exclaimed the
doctor. "Let me change my seat if you
please.".
"Won't do it? Won't club in with me and
try a few games ?"
"Certainly not, sir."
"Won't lend me them jacks to put in my
sleeve ?" j ?
"You seem to forget that I am a clergyman,
sir."
"A cler? Oh, no. You don't mean to
say that?that?you are a preacher; now,
honest, are you ?"
"Yes, sir, I am Rev. Dr. P."
"Too bad! too bad! Believe me if I didn't
think you were one of those fellows who play
cards on the cars to gouge greenhorns out of
their money. You look like one, anyway,
now don't you ? And what are you doing
with that pack, old man, hey ? Would you
mind if I showed you how to run 'em over,
so's when you play they can't fool you ? I'll
do it for nothing." 1 j
Then Dr. Potts went into the hind car and
got off at the next station. When he got
home he gave that boy of his a couple of extra
flocrcings in order to ease his feelings. >

The Father of the First Baby.? Dear
Sister: I now take my seat and sit down to
take this opportunity to inform you that I am
a daddy at last. Abbie has got a nice fat
baby, and we hope these few lines may find
you enjoying the same blessing. Now this is
to be strictly a business letter. Firstly, as I
said before, Abbie has got as nice a baby as
ever made up faces. Nextly, I have swapped
away old Buckskin, and I think I have a
very nice horse; it is girl and weighs niue
pounds (I mean the baby), and it is as fat as
k butter, and has got a good strong pair of
*. lungs. She has got blue eyes aud a dimple
L in the chin (I mean the baby now), and just
tbe^ prettiest mouth that evor opened to. receive
pap; and judging from her teeth I
should think she is about six years old (I
mean the horse now). She is sound, smooth
and kind (I mean the horse or baby either,
now), and the doctor says she is the fairest he
ever saw, without exception. (He means the
baby). I got twenty-five dollars to boot (not
on the baby, though for in its case the boot
is on the other foot, and two or three Bizes
larger as near as I can find out). She is as
hearty as a pig. ate an egg, a biscuit, and
drank three cups of tea for dinner (I mean
Abbie). "She is getting along nicely, and
if she don't have any bad luck she will get
along first rate. She is troubled with disorders
of the stomach, and they say that is a
sign of the colic. (I mean the baby.) I hope
it is, for the nurse says colicky babies never
die. She talks out of her nose, and takes
snuff. (The nurse, I mean, now).
There, I've been reading this over, and I
see plainly that I ain't fit to write. The
amount of it is, I am frustrated. I am a happy
daddy and that accounts for it; so you must
excuse me this time. s. h. s
Two Soldiers.?Colonel B. was standing
in the square, when he spied a farmer, who
some weeks ago, had sold him a load of very
"crooked" hay. The party in question is an
active professor of religion, and a most zealous
worker for his pocket. The man's profession
and practice being in such a marked
contrast, caused the colonel to eye him with
dislike. When he came up, the colonel
charged him with deception in the matter of
the bay. The skinflint stoutly denied the
charge. The colonel drew himself up at full
height, and disdainfully observed :
"I am asoldier, sir?not a liar."
"So am I a soldier," whined the promoter
of "crooked" hay.
"You!" exclaimed the colonel, in a tone
of disgust. "What kind of a soldier are
you ?"
"I'm a soldier of the cross," said skinflint,
with a flourish of the hand.
"That may be," said the colonel, dryly;
"but you've been on a furlough ever since I
knew you."

No Receipt.?An Irishman went into a
butcher's shop and asked, "Have you any
sheep's heads, raisther?" "0, yes," was the
reply. Pat, after a good deal of higgling,
bought one, and then wished to know how
to make it ready. The shopman began to
tell him, but Pat, not being blessed with a
good memory, asked him to "write it down on
a piece of paper," and meantime laid down
his purchase at the shop door. A dog, seeing
a good chance, seized the head and bolted
? down the street. , Pat immediately gave
chase, bawling, at the top of his voice. "Come
back wid me sheep's head, ye robber, ye!"
but after a stiff run had to give in dead beat,
when he consoled himself with the remark,
"Never moind; he hasn't got the resate how
to make it ready."

A Crown.?A Quaker having married for
his wife a member of the church of England,
1 -1 _ A xl_ ? ^nlor/vw.
WAS ft8K6Qy flrtyr ujc uorctuuuj' ^ uj KUO man
for his fee, which he said was a crown.
The Quaker, astonished at the demand, said
if he could be shown any text ih Scripture
which proved the fee a crown, he would give
it, upon which the clergyman turned to the
twelfth chapter of Proverbs, verse fourth,
where it is said, "A virtuous woman is a crown
to her husband." "Thou art right," replied
the Quaker, "in thy assertion ; Solomon was
a wise man. Here is thy money, which thou
hast well and truly earned."
JBafAn exchange wants ladies to takeoff
their hats in church ; but as long as half the
ladies go to church for the purpose of displaying
their hats', it is hardly possible that
the suggestion will be adopted?unless a glass
case is placed alongside of the pulpit for their
accommodation, and the name is prominently
affixed to each hat.
I?** Any excuse is bettr than none. A toper
says he would be a temperate man in a
minute if it wasn't for his wife. He knows
she'd be lonesome if she hadn't something to
find fault with.

When the Spaniards conquered Pert^ in
the sixteenth century, they earned some potatoes
to Europe and sent them to the Pope.
The raw plant was cultivated a little in Spain,
Italy, Burgundy and the Netherlands, and
from a certain resemblance to the truffle, an
esculent fungus growing in the earth, the Italians
gave them the name of Tartuji, or Taratufolio,
whence the Germans derive their word
KartoffeL The French called them "Apples
of the earth," Pommes de terre, while in Aus?J
-? C m
irm auu puruuuu ui \jeriuaujr, i>uc wjuumtui
expression Erd apfel is used.
John Hawkins first introduced tbem into
England in 1565. Walter Raleigh brought
them here in 1584, and finally, Admiral
Drake in 1586. The latter sent some to a
friend to plant/with the remark that the fruit
was excellent and nutricious, so that it would
be very useful in Europe. His friend actually
planted the tubers, and they grew nicely.
But when the seed balls were ripe, he took
these instead of the tubers and fried them in
butter, and, sprinkling sugar and cinnamou
over them, placed them before some compauy
as a great rarity. Of course these balls tasted
disgustingly, And the assembly concluded that
the fruit would not ripen in Europe. The
gardener pulled up the plants and burned
them. The> gentleman who chanced to be
present, stepped upon one of the baked potatoes
as it lay in the ashes, when it broke open
and he noticed that it was white as snow and
mealy, and had such an agreeable smell that
he tasted it, and found it very palatable.
The new vegetable was thus rescued, but for
a century after, it was only cultivated in his
garden, and in 1600 the Queen of England
mndn t.hfi rflmnrir in hftr hnnsfi-hnnk that a
pound of potatoes cost two shillings, (about
fifty cents.)
From England the plant was gradually introduced
into Holland and France, but at first
it only appeared as an expensive rarity on
royal tables, or a decoration in princely rooms.
Louis XIV, was accustomed to wear a potatoblossom
in his button-hole, and his queen wore
a wreath of them as a head-ornament at court
balls. As in many other circumstances,
scarcity and hunger accomplished a general
distribution. The grain tirops had failed for
several years, and in 1771 a nourishing plant
was sought to relieve this need. In 1773 an
apothecary, named Parmentier, wrote an essay,
to which was awarded a prize by the
Academy of Natural Science, and in this he
directed the attention of political economists
to the potato. He also cultivated several
acres of them himself. The king was so delighted
with the excellent yield that he exclaimed,
"You have found bread foi the poor!"
But the poor, and especially the peasants,
would not try them, but despised and "corned
the strange bulb. Parmantier now adopk?d a
stratagem:' He ma'de'a public ahluouh'cemeni,
that his potatoes w$it ?ajr ripe, but tlfet they
were so valuable that he had obtained from
tne King a special protection, ana every one
who stole a potato would suffer a double penalty.
This worked to perfection. The peasants
came at night and stole the potatoes,
carried them home, and on trial found them
803g0Q<Lth?t in a short tipM eyeryu corner of
the field was dug'ove?" and Cleaned out, "and
the next Spring hundreds of peasants planted
stolen potatoes.
The potato was introduced into Germany
still later, although planted in the botanical
gardens as early as 1588. In many parts
they were introduced in the years of famine
in the Thirty Years' War, and then in the
beginning of the eighteenth century they were
cultivated and prepared in various ways as
food for feeding hogs, for powder, and in making
starch. Every time the grain harvest
failed, the potato made rapid advances into
favor. The manner in which the Prussian
Government aided its introduction is well
told by the celebrated Nettlebeck in his autobiography
: "I was a youngster about six or
'seven years old, and just putting on trowsers?
say about 1743 or 1744?when there was a
dreadful scarcity, so that many persons died
of hunger. In the following year the city of
Kolberg received a present by the favor of
Frederick the Great, a thing utterly unknown
up to that time. A large freight-wagon full

announcement was made throughout the city
and suburbs that every owner of a garden
should be at the City Hall at a certain hour,
and by the grace of the king a benefit was to
be conferred on them. People began to conjecture
what that had to do with the gift, and
the less they knew the more they wondered.
The City Fathers now exhibited the fruit to
the assembled multitude, and a long lecture
was delivered on planting, cultivating and
cooking them. It would certainly have been
much better to have given out written or
printed instructions, for in the noise and tumult
very few paid any attention to the lecture.
On the contrary, the good people took
the highly-praised tubers with wonder, smelled
and tasted, and shook their heads. Some
were thrown to the dogs, who snuffed about
them, and of course rejected them with disdain;
"Judgment' was' pronounced agaitist
them. "See," said they, "they have no smell,
no taste, and even the dogs will not eat them;
what help will they be to us ?" The belief
was general that they grew on trees. Very
few were planted as they should have been,
some sticking single ones in the ground here
and there, paying no further attention to
them. Others piled them in heaps and threw
a little dirt over them.
"The next year another load of potatoes
was sent, but. experience bad taught tbem
something," and a person was sent along who

the planting and took care that they were attended
to."
In many places the Government was
obliged to use compulsory measures, and
dragoons watched the peasants to see that
they planted potatoes. In other places the
priestsand clergy endeavored to enlighten the
people and stimulate them, but everywhere
the progress was slow.
Before it had become fairly established, the
disease appeared, which first, in 17f>4, infested
Erzgebirge, then in 1780?1790 South Germany
and Hanover, and in 1830 West Germany.
In the great famine of 1770 in Bohe
raia, where they had no potatoes, 180,000 persons
starved, while in Silesia, where potatoes
were already cultivated, all lived.
In Switzerland, potatoes were frequently
cultivated as early as 1730: in the famine of
1771, they saved thousands of lives, but they
did not come into general use until the beginning
of this century, and principally since the
scarcity of 1817.
A Few Facts for Bee-Keepers.?A
worker bee isfrom five to six days old before
it comes out of the hive for the first time to
take an airing, and it is from fourteen to sixteen
days old before it begins to gather either
pollen or honey.
All swarms engaged in building comb,
when they have not a fertile queen, build only
drone and stone comb, and all the comb in
the lower or breeding apartment of the hive
should be worker brood comb, except a very
small quantity of drone comb?four inches
square being amply sufficient.
The more prolific the queen is the more
young bees you have, and the more surplus
honey will be stored up, other things being
equal.
Never allow the combs to become mouldy.
Never double swarms or stocks of bees in
the fall, but attend to that and make them
| strong during the summer by taking brood
j and strong stocks and giving it to the weak.
A drone-laying queen should be taken
i away and one producing workers put in her
j place, else the colony will soon come to
i naught. _
i As a rule, as soon as an ltalia.0 queen shows
signs of old age, or feebleness, the bees theinl
selves will "supercede" her.
All stocks should be kept strong in order
I to be successful.

CONDUCTED BY
REV. ROBERT LATHAN.
IS THERE A HELL I
There is a hell. Rationalism rules it out,
but there is where our modern essayists and
the Bible differ. People say there ought not
to be a hell, but there is where the modern
theologians and the Lord God Almighty differ.
I am one of those few benighted mortals
in this day who take the whole Bible. "What!
you do not believe every thing in it ?" Every
thing; absolutely every thing. "What!
that about the serpent in Eden, and the sun
standing still, and the whale swallowing Jonah
?" Every thing. I believe it all as
much as 1 do my own existence. "Well,
theu, you caonot have read the arguments on
the other side." Yes, I have; read them
dav and night, read them by the year, read
every word that Tom Paine, or Theodore
Parker, or Renan, ever wrote on the subject;
read them from the title page to the last
word, of the last line, of the last page, of the
last book ; read them until it is only through
the mercy of God that I did not kill my soul
throug^he'sin of reading them ; read them
until I found out that the land of scepticism
is a desert, where the sands are red hotcoals,
swept by the smothering simoon of all-consuming
^wretchedness, read - them until I
have found that there are two hells instead
of one?the hell of scepticism, and the hell
spoken of in the Bible, and I believe in the
last because it is the more tolerable. Come
to my house some time, at six o'clock in the
evening, and I will show you fifty-four passages
in the Bible, all positively asserting that
there is suoh a place, and as many more implying
it. If I do not believe God when be
tells me a thing ten times, certainly I will
when he tells it to me twenty times. If I do
not believe what he has asserted twenty times;
I will when be has told it to me forty times,
but if I doubt him the fortieth time, certainly
when he anounces a thing to me the fiftyfourth
time I had better accept it. Paul
says, "They shall be punished with everlastiuE
destruction from the presence of the
Lord." Luke says, "There shall be weeping
and gnashing of teeth when ye shall see
Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the
prophets in the kingdom of God, and you
yourself thrust out." Christ, who ought to
know, says, "And these shall go away into
everlasting punishment." It is not more
certain that there is a city called Constantinople
or Moscow, than that there is a great
metropolis of suffering ; that Satan rules over
it; that there are fires that cannot be pat
out, and tears that ever fall, and groans that
are forever uttered.
There may be a difference of opinion about
the exact nature of that suffering. You
may, if you like, disoard the old-fashioned
notion of fire, but the Bible, in many places,
s^ys that the suffering is like fire; and if it is
like fire, it is as severe as fira; and if it is as
severe as fire, it might as well be fire. You
say that it is a mental torture, and not physical.
But you know that mental torture is
worse than physical. So the style of suffering
that you believe in, is far more intolerable
than the style of suffering your fathers and
mothers used to believe in. A dying man of
large means said, "I would give thirty thousand
pounds to have it proved to me satisfactorily
that there is no hell." Such proof
cannot be presented. But suppose you throw
overboard most of the testimony on this subject,
is there not some slight possibility that
there is such a place ? If there should be,
and you have made no preparation to escape it,
what then? A young woman, dying, said to
her father?"Father, why did you not tell
me there was such a place?" "What place1?"
"A hell!" He said ?"Jenney, there is no
such place. God is merciful. There will be
no future suffering!" She said?"I know
there is such a place! My feet are slipping
into it this moment! I am lost! Why did
you not tell me there is such a place?" It-is
the awfbl, stupendous, consuming, incontrovertible
fact to the universe.?Dr. T. De
Witt Talmage.
A SAD RECORD.
I was in Father Taylor's study talking
with him about his eventful life. We were
discussing some features of the temperance
question, when he took down from the shelf a
plain pocket Bible and asked me to examine
it. On the fly-leaf was written: " , from
his mother." Turning over the pages, I observed
in some places they were torn, blister*
* ? 1 *.t IV- -1 T V J il . L!
ed and stained witn oiooa. 1 asuea me History.
He replied: "Some years ago I was
sent for in haste to visit a young man who
was dangerously ill. I went to the house.
In a miserable garret I found a lad, pale,
weak and faint from the loss of blood. He
had been attacked with severe hemorrhage,
and knew that he was soon to die; that he
had been leading a'life of dissipation, had
become a slave to drink, and had been
brought by it to his present condition. 'My
mother was a goodly woman,' he said. 'She
instructed me faithfully, prayed forme tenderly,
and tried to make ine a good man.
I left home to come to Boston to try to make
my own living. I intended to do right, and
follow my mother's counsels. Her last gift
to me was this Bible. At first I read it daily,
attended worship every Sabbath; but I fell
into bad company, and gradually went astray,
until I lost all manliness and became a
wretched drunkard. I have burst a blood
vessel and am dying. For God's sake and
my mother's pray for me.' I then left him in
great distress. The next day I found him
dead. He was lying with the book clasped to
hjs lips. It was wet with tears and blood,
and torn with the convalsive agonies. -Some
years after I made a temperance speech in
Philadelphia. I related the incident, and
held up the book as I did so. There was a
stir in the audienoe. A poor woman, with a
sad, heart broken expression, arose and totter
ed to the platform. She implored me to let
her have the book. The stillness of the
room was terrible. Every eye was fixed
upon her. With trembling hands she turned
to the fly-leaf?then, with a scream, she fell
fainting to the floor. She had read the name
of her own son, and for the first time knew of
his sad fate."
J6T* It hath been the advice of some spirit*
ual persons that such as were able should set
apart some certain place in their dwellings
for private devotions only, which, if they constantly
performed there, and nothing else,
their very entrance into it would tell them
what, to do in it, and quickly make their
chamber-thoughts, their table-thoughts, and
their jolly, worldly, but muoh more their sinful
thoughts and purposes, fly out of their
hearts.?South.

Three Great Words.?A Christian traveler
tells us that he saw the following admonition
printed on a folio sheet in an inn in
Savho, and it was found, he learned, in every
house in the district: "Understand well the
force of the words?a God, a moment, an
eternity: a God who sees you ; a moment
which flies from you ; an eternity which
awaits you: a God whom you serve so ill; a
moment ot whicn you so little prone; an eternity
which you hazard so rashly."
A Serious Thought.?Suppose there was
a book in which the whole life was recorded,
each page of which contained the events of a
day, and at the beginning was written; "This
is the life of a rational, immortal, accountable
creature, placed in this world to prepare
for eternity!" 0 what an amount of guilt
would the record of each (Jay present!?Dr,
Pay8on.
No life can be low where great ends are
followed; and the spirit that will not work its
mission within the trammel of circumstance,
will never be a true servant of that Master
who came to found a kingdom of heaven upon
earth, and who had to associate with him in
the work men of another spirit than his own I

YORKVILLE ENQUIRER.
VOLUME ae.~1876.
THE YORKVILLE ENQUIRER is now in
its twenty-second volume, and is a large twentyeight
column newspaper, handsomely printed on
clear, legible type, and devoted to the Political,
Social, Agricultural and Commercial Interests
of the South. We are enabled to promise
increased attractions in all the different departments
of the paper, conspicuous among them
being the
SERIAL STORIESs
written expressly for its columns.
As a non-partisan, independent family newspaper,
the future editorial conduct of the Enquirer
can be as well judged by the past as by any promise
which we might now feel disposed to make.
An experience of thirty-five years in the newspaper
business?of which time at least one-half has
been unremittingly devoted to the management
of the Enquirer?tally oonvinces the proprietor
that the plan he adopted on assuming control of
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,
not only by the success of the Enquirer, which
can truthfully claim the largest circulation of any
country newspaper in the South, but also by many
other of the most popular and widely circulated
papers of the day. The course thus indicated we
shall continue to pursue, aiming to publish a
LITERARY AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER,
which shall be a welcome visitor to the Home Circle,
and acceptable alike to all classes of readers.
Hence, the news department of the Enquirer,
whether of matters at home or abroad?political or
otherwise?willbe conducted with the utmost care,
and only facts as they seem to exist, will be presented,
free from sectional or party bias.
LITERARY DEPARTMENT.
The original Serial Stories are an attractive
feature of the paper, being from the pens of the
most sprightly and entertaining story writers of
the day, and abound with dramatic plot and stirring
incident.
HISTORICAL SKETCHES.
The Historical Sketches op the Early
History of 8outh Carolina will constitute an
Important feature of the volume. These Sketches
are written by Rev. Rorert Lathan, and com
moncing with the earliest settlement or the State
in colonial times, gradually trace its rise and progress.
To the writing and compilation of these
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?legendary
and authentic?which have never before
been fully published, connected with the Revolutionary
history of the State. Much of the material
of these Sketches being traditional?many of
the events portrayed having never been in print?
and written in Mr. Lathan's easy, familiarstyle,
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 a noble ancestry
in their struggle for liberty and independence.
CHESTER CORRESPONDENCE.
I To meet the demands of our increasing circulation
in Chester county, we have engaged the services
of Brainerd MoLure, Esq., who will contribute
a letter of corrrespondenoe from Chester
regularly each week. These letters are devoted
entirely to Chester affairs?to the interests of the
town and county?and written in the racy and
graphic style peculiar to Mr. McLitre, they cannot
fail to be of interest to our readers in Chester,
as well as elsewhere in the State.
THE OTHER DEPARTMENTS.
In addition to the above features, Rev. Mr. Lathan
will continue his regular contributions to
the "Sabbath Reading," and the "Children's Department,"
which, under his management for the
past six years, have been an important attraction;
and with the usual melange of Miscellaneous
Reading adapted to all tastes; the Agricultural
Department, containing practical and useful information
for the former and house-wifo; a column
of Humorous Reading every week; "Scraps and
Facts,"embracinglight current topics; a compend
of the New8 Abroad and at Home; Correspon?

Articles upon appropriate subjects, intended
to promote the prosperity and welfare of our
people, we hope to make the Enquirer replete
as an entertaining and instructive Family Journal.

some pattern and neat finish, and warranted equal
in every other respect to any Cooking Stove sold

with purchasers is the feet that our patterns and
sizes are never changed. Should a piece gat accidentally
broken at any time, we can replace It at
the mere cost of casting. Not simply because it

merits as an article of household economy, do
