Gr^y ejazed at her wonderingly. She had not known this before. "It is a bitter thing to tear open par? tially healed wounds," Mrs: Brown con? tinued^ "but let me tell you my story." Several years ago, I was about to give a party; a grand affair it was to be, and my head was almost turned while mak? ing preparations. My Willie (his name was Willie, .too.) was about 16 years old. He had never been to school, I had edu? cated him myself. At home, he was all a mother's heart could desire; but he 40g thy, and when I forced him into company he appeared so awkward, that I often felt ashamed of him. This was ojne reason of my deciding to give a party. If he was obliged to act the part of host he would overcome his bashful nets, I thought. Bat Willie never ap? proved of it. "I shall be so glad when tho party is ovor," he said one day; "for since you have got it into your head, I have lost my mother." "Poor little baby I" I responded, slight? ly provoked at his lack of interest. ''I wonder how many more years I shall have you tied to my .apron string V* I spoke saeeringlv, and a proud flash _instantly overspread his face. "I will be tied there no longer," he re? sponded ; "I will seek other company in the future." I was frightened at tile result of my words. Still I made no response. My son, putting on his coat and hat, weut out. It was the first time in his life he ?lad ever gone out without informing me' where ho was going. In good time the party came off. It was a gay affair, and. none wore gayer than Willie. He was sort of an ex? tremist, and took no medium stand. Af? ter that, his books and work were neglec? ted, and his days, as well as evenings, were sjjfnt abroad. Fast young men became his constant companions. I was left alone to mourn over tue ehange I had wrought Aj first he made it a rule to be in ai night at ten o'clock, but after a time he began to stay out later; and day-break sometimes found him from home. I tried to expostulate, tried to win him back to his old habits, but my efforts were unavailing. He had got a taste of a new life, and it held him by a charm. Well do I remember the first night he came home in a state of intoxi? cation. It was hTs seventeenth birthday, just a year from the time I gave the par? ty. I had seen him under the influence of wine once or twice before, but on this occasion he drank so deeply tbat some of his companions had to help bim home. The hours of that night were dreadful hours of self-reproach and agony. I was so glad when morning came to dispel the gloom?so glad when reason returned'to my erring child. He was very much jishamed. He said again and again he would do better; but his resolves were worthless. Two nights later he was again brought home intoxicated. After that it was a common occurrence. He fell lower and lower, squandered all my ready money, and when I refused to mortgage my property, that he might have more, he left me with an oath. That night a large firm was robbed, and it was discovered Ciat Willie was one of the perpetrators of the deed. The next morning the town was alive with excitement, and I almost crazed with anxiety, for my boy had fled. The news passed from mouth to mouth ; my house was ?e?rchcd, and my son called a vil ]im; but I had no 'power to prevent rHESON, S. a,'THURSDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1875. VOL. XI-NO. 14. dither, paths.

There has always been too wide a gap. in the business, and too distant a social relation between Charles tori and the up-country of the State. The recent war with its horrors and its necessities drove a great many families from Charleston to the up-country, and forced a great many soldiers from the up couutry into campaigning on the coast.

The Best Food.?As a rule, not only i the simplest food the bot food,but the nist reasonable is, iu the long run, the tost appetising. There is no difficulty i determining what we should eat, since te products of our climate show us [ainly month by month. Fish, fU>h nd fruit, by their plumpness, tenderness nd ripeness, themselves denote when ley are ready to be eaten. A sound tomach will profit by whatever an un poiled palate enjoys. The wholesomeness of food depends icarly as much on the time it is taken as on the quantity. We have grown so lux Charlesto will be the certain reaction cf urious in our physical as well as mental prosperit;,and enterprise in the up-coun- tastes that we are constantly tempted to try, and < a still further consequence, eat things out of season.

Supposing that it was stolen,e detained the bill and advertised for owner re? peatedly; but, no one claiing it, he invested it in city stock, fveral false claimants appeared for theote, and it was the subject of several lauits, which terminated in Mr. Cobb retning custo? dy. The history of one ofiese claim? ants is as follows: Mr. Ob one day was conversing about the ijney with a man who made so many pA'cular in? quiries that Mr, Cobb raistrujd his mo? tive, and told him the wornJwaa dark and had a large wen on tiJde of her neck, when in fact she jyafi mulatto, and had no such wen.

The delicacies of the season will not hurt us; but delicacies out of season certainly will if long con? tinued. The appetite so jaded as to crave oysters in July, or strawberries in De? cember, needs correction by the adoption of the simplest habits. The palate natur? ally relishes what nature has near at hand. A simple, nure life gives appetite for pure and simple food.

People go about the streets and aboot their busi? ness half doubled over, looking like any? thing but a man; go for hours together, huddling up and shivering, quarreling at the weather; quarreling at the fires, which are not sufficient to warm them, when the fact is, the fault ay in them? selves.
