POETFlY? For the Anderson Intelligencer, PASSING THOUGHTS. The pattering rain is falling fastr It seems to be keeping time To moments past, tho "long ago/T How silvery the chime! Old memories darting thro' the braia Go swiftly to the heart; The past darts up in bold relief, Old thoughts that make me start. Words long forgotten oome again Inwhispers low and sweet; Eyes?speaking, eyes?exert a spelt I'm nothing loth to meet. Smiles, thoughts and words all form a chain I Tfch??eacnes ages Taacfc \ AgesTT&rtyetrve^mt Degun' To walk life's beaten track. Saw, strange that youta should backwBTdl look! How strange, but oh, how real! A short by-way of sorrow, and We leave the world ideaL ?JF6 .meet the world with studied pride, No sign of inward pai n ; To coldly act an unfelt ljart, Who never thought to feign. The spirit-voices of the past Axe hushed and silent now; The clouds that darkly hover round Are mimicked on my brow. The rain-drops seem but*dancing sprites, Whose witchery in gone ; We struggle?but in vara^-with late, In darkness and alone. '- ? , ? XULA. ft* ' ttt " WHY BANGS HATED DOGS. "Get out!" "Bangs, that is my dog!" "Yes, I know it. Get, you brute!" And he shied at him and iron paper-weight. My face flushed'. ' ' Bangs," said: I, "excuse me, but I've an affection for that dog." "Excuse me, Fills, but I've an antipathy agaiust all dogs. Get out,- vermin!" And he gave my ftet black-atid-tah a vicious kick, that sent him bowling into the corridor. - Bangs shut the door and put the key in_his pocket. Wistfay Plus, the next time yotf come to my office you would leave that brute behind. I've a most unconquerable antipathy against all canines, and ?"_ _ ..........._ B^ggjaigbtghaye said more, but the look on my^faceiiflaist "nave^ convinced him that I was seri?U6ly -angry. "Suppose we let this pass," he said. "I was wrong,-I'll admit;; I ought not to have kicked Jour ptrp^utyou don't-know how I hate 'em, ig aud little. Sit down, Pills, and let me tell you something that heretofore has been a secret with_ me?a, secret hidden, from the cold, un sympathuang world.' I feel that now some ex? planation is proper for me to make, in hopes that it may prevent a misunderstanding be? tween two such firm friends as we have been in the past, and, I hope, will be in the future." 'I sat down in the chair Bangs pointed to, and said ".Goon,!' - ? . '"I db not know," continued Bangs, "that I ever had any particular dislike to dogs previous to the circumstances 'which I am about to re? late, Do. you .remember the spring I took a trip into the country?" "Very well," I replied. ?''That was some six years ago. I have con? fined myself Very closely to business ever since my admittance to the bar, and I thought a month in the country would freshen me up considerably." "It did not seem to, if I remember rightly," I said. "You'll not wonder at it, Pills, when I tell you a?l about the facts. I went down to a'little seasitre resort; called' San Marino?ever "been there?" - "Never." "Well, it's a jqueer sort of a place. There is a very fine stream of water courses down from the mountains and empties-into the sea about half a mile from tbe town; although there is no town there, only a little hotel and black? smith's shoo. The stream empties into the sea in winter, during the heavy rains, bufiu sum? mer time the surf ' banks- up the mouth with sand and forms Quite a lake or Jagoon.

The San M*-| rifcoV Book waVfifleoTto-lts uttriost wpaeityj that season. It was a curio us kind.of .a - crowd gathered there. City sportsmen, with dogs, guiiSj^sJ^th^Me^-eterw St\ women, and, for the' Beuern^bTXhe^sea-breeze, young Jyys, fourteen-,or, fifteeg yeaia old, making'thek first trip- from home alone?tiro T a<^r fTMB wffVnrn?ft nnw^t Vt clergy? man, who rode down from the city on his velocipede?and three or four young ladies and a dozcflgffiak-y^chool ffifo. On .the whoie, it was asjqljy^c/ew asj^eiei; gathered together. With' horseback riding, boating;, fishing and bunting, the time passed rapidly enough. I said there were three-or four young ladies, but, so far as I was concerned, there was only one, Miss Tootie Tusby?excuse me. Pills, bnt I ca*n^spfokAbaWnnme-wi thoufc emotion"? aOTEfehg* drc'w:fort;h his handkerchief, and wiped bis eyes vigorously. "I cannot describe all her charms; but, Pills, if ever there w?? an angel in this world she was one. I devoted myself to her from the first. Wben Mis3 Tootie rode I rode. If she walked. I, walked. When she . went ?sbing Bangs went fishlcg. If she sailed on the" lake Bangs was there.itlsfj. Pillsj I loved that girl, ?and when I think of what separated us, you; will excise me, but,''?there the handkerchief came into requisition, and Bangs' voice failed1 him completely. . "Did you propose?" I asked. : MNo, Pills, no..: AM. if I only bad, if I only bad!" "What-prevented?", ?;; "Well, nothing but my own folly. I was, iaint-hearted when it came to that. I had it in my mouth a dozen times/ "but my tongue failed me. There was another fellow there, too, that made me terribly jealous: She didn't ?how him any particular favors, but he was a great admirer of her, any one conld see', and I really wasn't certain in my .mind, which she preferred. She might, in time, perhaps, have shown some preference and my. doubts been dispelled, had it not been for the affair that happened which I am about to relate,, arid which blighted all ray future life." "Bad as.that?*' I.aiked, ? ? . 'Tills, you never was in.love; you uever lost the one heaven assigned for vou?you don't know anything at all about it." "That's it; go on." "There was a party at the San Marino House one evening, a soiree dansante, or something like that they called it, They sent up to the city for music, and went in for a gay time. I was counted out somewhat, for you know I don't dance. The other fellow did. More than that, be danced with Tootie nearly all the time. Pills, you don't krfow anything at all about it;, you never had the girl you love dancing with j your rival all the evening, right before your eyes, while you sit in the corner like a knot on a log?nee him in the quadrilles, when all the rest of the couples simply take <iach other's hands and promenade, see that fellow just put his arm around that girl and go waltzing or polkaing all about the room, every time right in front of you, aud that cussed feUiow treading on your corns every chance he can got?you do?rt know anything about it." I admitted my ignorance. "Well, I couldn't stand it; it was too much. I rushed out and started toward the sea. I don't know as I bad any intentions of suicide, but I was in a desperate mood. The path to the beach lay along by the side of the lagoon, and by the time I had gone a hundred yards I changed my mind and thought I wouldn't go to the beach, but would take a swim in the lake. That is about all the accomplishment I Eassess, and one can't show that off before the idies, you know?not in the same way you can dancing. "I dis disrobed under the branches of a hoge alder, or a sycamore, or some such tree, and struck out for the other side of the lake. The moon was shining brightly, and the water was warm and delightful. I grew cool, and soon was enjoying to the.utmost the Uuury..J.ofJhjB situation. I almost forgot for the time Miss Tusby and admirer. Having crossed tofthe opposite side, I swam along in the dark shadow of the alders till I came to the sea beach. Then I noticed that the moon was getting low. I must return before I was missed at the party. After a short rest I plunged;; in again, .and strucJrJbut for the place where I left my clothes. I could find it^easy by the large tree growing there. In fifteen minutes I was there, and Pills, I tell you, Che situation of things about that time was precarious." "How's that?" "I couldn't find my clothes! Gone, sir, every article except my plug hat. I rushed around among the brush and. nettles, and poisoned oak, like a setter after quail. Jerusa? lem! Whew! I tell you I got a dose that lasted me for a month. Not a rag of clothing could I find. I happened to look up the path to the hotel. What do you suppose I saw ? A cursed grey hound that belonged to my rival with my white vest, tossing it upon his nose, and dragging it about .amongst the dirt and tan weed as though it had been an old dish? cloth. The situation 'flashed upon me in an instant. The dog had stolen my clothes in sport, and there"I was, out there in the night air, with no possible show of getting into the house without' being discovered. Pleasant, wasu'tit? r\ "You don't know anything at all about it, sir. That was nothing to what followed. Just as I was wondering how in the dickens I was to get out of the scrape, I looked up towards the hotel, and saw something that fairly made my blood freeze in my veins. I saw three per? sons coming down *he path.. I at once recog? nized them as my rival, Wirkins, MJss Tootle and another young lady. They met the dog when about half way between the lake and the hotel. I saw by their actious that the discove? ry of the vest had alarmed them. They all came hurriedly down the path toward the very spot where I stood. Pills, that' was a situation I hope never to be placed in -again !'\ r - ~ J "Undoubtedly;! jDidyou takejto ?atirtf't^' ~ "I dare not do .'it,' but"it'wcml(^ive?befn.1| better if I had. You see I had been JnTtfie water too long already. I was in an awful shiver?gooseflesh all over me. ] There wasn't time to deliberate long. My first thought ?was to spring up into the tree, and I did so. They came rushing down to the water's edge, under the tree just beneath me. I could- bear their voices plainly. They were discussing the-rirtA)-* ability of my being drowned., "I was roosted there on a limb, shivering like sin, with nothing on but my plug hat, you know. it /. t?} "By and by they began to talk about going back to the hotel ana giving the alarm. - I could bear one of the young ladies weeping; bait bang me if I could tell which one. I was anxious to know, of course, for if it was Miss Tootie, the fact would be significant, at least. In my anxiety to discover which one was weep? ing, I crept noiselessly out a few feet further on the limb. I didn't stop to consider that the sycamore is a very brittle tree. Stretching my neck to the utmost, I peered down through the leaves, and?crash !" "The limb broke!" "Yes, sir; and I found myself stretched out at full length on the sand, right in the midst of them. ,jQ^JypHCTj^bn^ know anything sbiMSMt !-I prn-yed-fbVnneaTtb qutike to open the ground and swallow me up; but it didnH. "The girls looked at me in astonishment, a moment, and there was a tremendous flattering of white dresses as they ran back towards the hotel. Wilkins burst into a roar of laughter and kept it up until I sprang uo, collared himr and toid him if he valued his life to go to the hotel and bring me my valise, which contained an extra suit of clothing. I made him promise to keep mum, too, until I was clear of the place. He was glad to do that, for if I left Mid hiM Uia ifh.nln field la kmMff TT? brought the valise as he promised, and I walked e^^ite*hiic hi^t tplhe next hotel.

Immigration. Oar readers will remember that the Legisla? ture, just before its adjournment, passed a joint resolution on thd subject of immigration, which requires the Clerks of both Houses to compile all the information necessary in regard to the resources of the several counties in this State, together with the inducements afforded to im? migrants, agriculturally and otherwise, and to prepare the same in suitable form for the use of the General Assembly, with a view of pre? senting to the world'the unrivalled agricultural, manufacturing' and mineral resources of this State. We'are glad to know that this resolu? tion is to be carried out, in a practicable and sensible form, and that the information is to be collated fully, under the superintendence of the Clerks. We copy the followiug paragraph from the Aiken Tribune: '? From a recent interview with Messrs. Wood? ruff and Jones, we learn that they propose en? listing at once the services of a cultivated and reliable gentleman in each county of the State, in the preparation of this work, and will fur? nish him with a synoptical series of inquiries with regard to the soil, climate, temperature, productions, manufacturing, mechanical and mining resources, &c., peculiar to the territory in which he resides, and request such further information, statistical and otherwise, relevant to the subject, at), in his judgment, may con duce to the general object in view. In this way \ they will be enabled to supply the Legislature with full reports of the capabilities of each county and that body can then designate a re? sponsible commission to collate them, and pre? sent to the work, in a compact and apprehen? sible shape, a res ume of the resources of this State in the same way as has been done bene? ficially in-many Northern and Western States. The: work devolved upon the gentlemen who maybe requested to undertake it must be done gratuitously, as no provision for its payment has been made, but we cannot doubt that it will be cheerfully discharged by those who have the true interest of South Carolina at heart, and who vill be complimented by such a selection. It will afford a grand opportunity of doing good service to the State, by making a judicious and intelligent representation of its resources, as well as by leaving the Legislature without an excuse for longer procrastination in the matter of legislation looking to the attrac? tion of immigra ion.to our soil. The Coming Man.?Whileour fine girls are bemoaning the lack of young men and the scarcity of beaux who are marriageable and who mean marriage, there is a class of young men whom they do?not recognize at all, ana yet who will furnish the next generation its men of enterprise, of position, and of wealth. It is not the sons of the rich who will, as a rule, remain rki. The sons of the poor will get rich; and these are to-day, drudging in offices and counting rooms and store houses and machine saops and printing establish? ments : the men who, in twelve years, will con? trol 'the nation socially, politically and finan? cially. Every man of them means to be married ; they, vill as a rule make good hus? bands, they are ia] at work trying to win success. They are men ' who would be easily improved by a recognition and by bringing them into good, intelligent society; yet they are but lit? tle noticed, as if they were so many dogs. Virtuous young men from the country.come into the city and live for years without any society and. are regarded by the fashiocable vounc women with indifferenc,ejxnd contempt;. bufe3^artoung: men hav*&W$ld ?PP$ wtj future', arfd when'their success is" won,'in what? ever field or enterprise it may be, the fashion? able may be glad to receive them as belonging to their own mmber. We regret to say as a rule, the young men for whom a position has been won by virtuous and enterprising fathers, amount to bdtVeTy little in the world; and we rejoice to say tliat companions chosen from those who. nave their fortunes to make and their positions to win, are those to whom a well bred woman can generally with safety (entrust her .happiness, ana herself. umt which,.although genuine enough as far as they go, dohofcrepresont their face1 value, because they Uafea befcn' "narrowed" by cutting strios, length wi8e;i'frorrsom^ip^io^W6dtes:: Atr With every day,' M%uMJ^^o^e^ njeateof. their lull value. h4 .flotes most jcobarnqnlyoperated upottj?ax*?j$to*>&t.\Mt\ Idenotoination of $5.

Bather than this, these fastidious girls will submit to any.priva? tions, and; pass hours of each day in-listless idleness that ought and could be put to-profita? ble use. ''Another 'of* the'- results .of this false pride is the fostering of a spirit of idleness, which almost cowpletelyi^fits themfor house duties, andjhbretjspeclally ra&SvMes devolve upou them al'tei marriage. Hence the many unhappy, marriages growing out of a want of familiarity With household duties, and a posi? tive disinclination to perform them.

Mosey.?The dollar that represents a carnal gratification, an indulgence, a sin, is worse than valueless. Money has only a relative and representative vfJue* v Its i worth consists in what it will procure:1 ItWty'purchase for its possessor a curse as well-as a. blessing:.- If in ? vested in intelligence, knowledge, culture, in doing good;' in the acquisition of' spiritual treasures,- it rises far above jiar in real value, and cannot be appreciated by any worldly standard. But how much'money goes off in smoke ; how much is used to purchase shame ; how much is spent in painful and fatal experi? ments with the wages of vice and" the Illicit charms of transgression, for which there returns to the soul at last only such compensations as remorse, woe, pain and death.
