White and glistening like a mammoth bridal veil, the December san lay overall the New Hampshire hills ; dark and del-j lento, like the tracery of lacowork, tho leafless woods hold up their bonghs against tho dazzling winter sky-and the Roverend Peter Palmleaf, studying over an embryo sermon in his own especial sanctum, glanced up where a blackbird was whistling in the casements, and thought to himself what a lovely world thc Lord bad made. When, all of a sudden, a shrill voice called through the entry : "Peter, the horse is ready." ??What hone?" asked the Rev. Mr. Palmleaf. "Oar horse, to bo sure!" said Miss] Paulina, bb eistor. "What for?" demanded tho parson,| staring through his near-sighted specta cles at tho door. "To take you to Mr. Darrow's." "why am L going to Mr. Darrow's?" further questioned the man of theology. "Well, I never 1" said Miss Paulina, bouncing into the study, with a yellow pocket handkerchief tied around her c?ad, nnd her sleeves rolled in a business like fashion up to her elbows, "Peter, you grow more moony and absent-minded every day of your life I Have you for gotten our discussion at the breakfast table? Whw vnti arn rrnlno'tn Mr. Dar row's after a'g.rl, to be sure I" "A-girl l"repeated the young minis ter, dreamily rubbing his forehead. "Oh, I do recall something of tho conversa tion. A hired girl." "Yes," nodded the lady briskly. "She's going to leave Mr. Darrow's this morn-1 lng, because the family is BO largo and the work so her.vy. Sho can't find that faull; with our establishment, I guesd. Ask her how much wages she wants, and how o'.d she is, and ask her whether she has any folio wo rc-and be sure you bring her tack with her bundled ; as I must have her or some person to help mo bo fore colwin FhiUnda's folks come from the city." "But suppose ehe won't como ?" said j tho young minister, dubiously, fitting on j the fingers of his gloves. "Then you must make her come," said Miss Paulina, hurriedly retreating to look after a certain ketti?, which was noisily boiling: over at the back of the j house. And thus, charged with his minion, the Rev. Peter Palmleaf got into the ono* horse outter and jingled merrily away. Mr. Darrow's farm houao nestled under a hill, io the protecting shadow of a cluain? of ayarirrflarui. with a artmn fanon in front of it, a red barn at tito rear, hod ; a colony of pigeon-houses at tho sunny Southern anglo; and Mr; Darrow him self, a ruddy-faced, elderly maa with a friqge Of white Whiskers around his chin, was shoveling sway tho pearly m&?sss of snow in front of his door. "Eh 1" said Mr. Darrow leaning on the handlo of his spade, as the bells jingled up iu front of hin gav v and then slopped. "How? Why* it's tho minister 1 Good morning I That there Sunday sermon o' yosra was a. masterpieco. Mo and Squiro Senuox--" "Yes," said Mr. Palmleaf, leisurely alighting, and tying the horse to the post. "But I havo called on business this moraine;." For Mr. Palmleaf was emphatically a man of ono idea, for the timo being, tho "uired giri" had chased all theology out of bis head,. "Eh!" said Mi?.Darrow ; "business?" "Pve como alter n young woman," ?sid tho minister. Mv. Darrow dropped the opado in tho middle of a snow drift. "Do you meant Dolly ?" ho said. "If that's, her name-yes," assarted ! tho minister, solemnly. "You don't moan that-it ia to hie an j engagement?" cried Mr. Darrow. "Well, yes-that ie. if wo suit each! other," said Mr. Palmleaf, mildly. "Jerusalem I" said Mr. Darrow, who had always heard that Mr. Palmleaf, -like most men of genius, waa au "cocon- j trie," but bad sever realizad it before. auch s. thlag ^Ubcuissslsg yo??rsv.

"Oh, of course you can see her " said Mr. Darrow. "She's iu tho dalry, skim-1 ming milk. "Dolly !" raising hu voice to a wild bellow. "Hero's tho Reverend Mr. Pa????es? wants totee yon ?

"Of course I Lavn't." said Dolly, half inclined to laugh, half to be angry. "Then I think you'll suit me," said Mr. Palmleaf, "or rather my sis ter. Our family is not large, tho work is light, and Paulina is a most considerate mistress. Get your bundle." "My-what?" said Dolly, in a bewil derment. ' "Your clothes. I am to take you back with me immediately," said Mr. Palm leaf. "Paulina expects company. It is essential that we obtain help at once." Dolly Darrow looked up with cheeki crimson like any rose, eyes full of deep brown speckles, and lips around which danced a perfect galaxy of dimples. "Wait a minute, piesse," said she. "Certainly," said Mr. Palmleaf. And be sat down on a wooden H tool in the corner, and fell to meditating on the "thirdly" of his uncompleted sermon, while Dolly sped up stairs, three steps at a time. "Father," cried she, flying in tho pres ence of her parents, "tho minister hus mistaken mo for Bridget?" "Eh?" said Mr. Darrow. "You don't tell me," said Mrs. Darrow. "And he wants to hire me," said Dolly, ber eyes gleaming with fun. "And I'm going. Quick-where's my hat and shawl; and mufliers ?" Mrs. Darrow roso up in tho majesty of her black silk gown and gold watch chain. "Dorothy Darrow," said she, "you're never going to hire as a servant." "Yes i am," said Dolly. "It's hotter than private theatricals. Ho's so nice and absent minded, and Paulina is a jewel I Oh, maka haste or ho'll be tired of waiting." And Dolly succeeded in carrying her point. Fifteen minutes later sho had St into tho cutter, with a parcol which r. Palmlef stowed snugly away under tho seat, and tho minister drovo homo with secret exultation. Miss Paulina wan in tho kitchen fry ing sausages for dinner, when Dorothy walked in, with cheeks like carnation?, hair blown all over her face, ami the bundle under her arm. "lloro I am Miss Palmleaf," said she. "Tho hired help at your service I" Miss Pauline Blared. "Why, it's Dorothy," said she. "And I sent Peter after"-. "Yes, I know," said Dolly brightly. "But Bridget was gone, and ho mistook mo for her, and bo has engaged mo tc work hero. And. oh, Miss Paulina, please don't undeceive bim. Bocauso 1 am a smart littlo housekeeper, and I enc help you just as much as any Irish girl could. Just, gi vu mo a trial, that's all.

"Well, then," said tho ministor, ,*entl drawing her toward him, "supposo yo stay in earnest?" ?%ir?" faltered Dolly.

A Visit to the Penitentiary. Io company rith a friend from Charles ton passing through on his way to tho up-country , we strolled towards the Pen itentiary (>ii Sunday afternoon, and at the eutra jce of the guard room found Colonel T? J. Lipscomb, the Superinten dent, and Mr. George Shields, one of tbo Director?, who kindly permitted an in spection of thc grounds and buildings within the enclosure. Accompanied by these gentlemen, wo began the detour, and tho first thing which attracted our attention wa* tho splendid-looking fel lows who composed tho guard, all of whom have been selected with especial care by Colonel Lipscomb, who has them thoroughly disciplined and in a fair way to become sharpshooters. Whenever tho commandant passed one of them ho was greeted with a quick military salute executed with nice precision, which was in like mannner recognized. Tho convicts were receiving their ?Up per, preparatory to the lock-up for the night, in gangs of fifty or more. They were marched into the dining room, where were rows of tables capable of seating ten men each, and at a signal from the officer they began their repast, signaling by uplifted hand when desir ous of anything. After eating tho gangs were marched quickly to tho celia and tho bolts shot in the locks. Tho grounds of the institution aro be ing nicely graded and arranged to per fect a thorough drainage, and ne?-:* gran ito copings havo been laid around the edges whore necessary. Thc Superintendent then invited au examination of tho hospita! and its ac commodation. Tho institution is re markably free from sickness, nono of the few in hospital (seven in number having been put there from any cause in tho remote:.: degree attributable to causes arising from their confinement. Wo received an introduction to the young physician of the penitentiary, Dr. P >c, who, however, was too intent on business to do much moro than acknowl edge tho samo, and wo proceeded around tho cots viewing tho inmates. Ono black fellow contentedly sitting up in bcd we found, upon investigation, with an ugly gun-shot wound through the right thigli, received, we believe, while attempting a burglar" in Williamsburg County. Another convict with hts head covered up wo wero told was a coufimed paralytic. A negro braced up on his elbow in ono of tho cots, recently re turned from tho asylum, nppenrod in a fair way to recover. A whito man sit ting on a stool attracted our nctico on account of his intelligent look and pa tient demeanor, and upon inquiry ascer tained that ho was Butlering badly with rheumatism. Tho poor fellow extended his left arm, showing an ovidont improved condition of what must havo been a bad rheumatic member. Then, baring his right leg to tho knee, ho ouposeu the kneo can which was very much inflamed and below tho limb attenuated and shrunken away greatly. This man is a life prisoner, under sontenco for murder, and upon being directed by Col. Lips comb to speak, said, that ne had boen kept in a cell manacled with a ball and chain under tho former administration of tho institution, but thnt as soon as Col. Lipscomb took charge his irons wore knocked off and ho was transferred to tho hospital, over Binco which he has lu'iu) rm -rm mond. Leaving tho sick, we entered tho com missariat store room. Hero were hung upcompacl, weli-raado buckets for tho uso of prison, piles of striped cotton clothes ready for wear, slacks of oxct I lent Bhoes made at n cost of ninety-four cent* per pair, a forest of brooms put up in pnekages of a dozen, at $1.75 per dozen equally as good as these of Northern make, and numerous other handiwork of the convict labor. Here also wo noticed neat stained poplar wardrobes, which the Superintendent saya ho can supply those in need of for Qvo dollars apiece; they aro fitted up with drawers, pegs and all tho necessary fixtures and aro vary cheap at tho price, enabling many persons to enjoy the lux ury and convenience of such a pioco of furniture who coald not possibly pur chase one at tho fancy price of tho deal ers in furniture. Leaving tho commissary, we entered a handsomo now two-story wooden build ing erected for tho accommodation of tho guard. A room at the foot of the stairs will servo os a reading and writing room. The next apartment is for tho sleeping apartment of tho Captain of the guard, and boyond that a central room for tho new commissary. Thc end apartment tho west end. os it were-is where tho boya will take their lush and whatever else a -cant appropriation will allow thom to indulge in. Con nected with tho dining room is a square pantry and scullery. Tho upper floor of this building will bo divided up into twenty roo m s 8 by 12 feet, with deeping accommodations in each for two guards. Dosconding to ferra firma Mr. Shields called our attention to the foundations of the three-story brick building which is to bo erected as a n '.chine shop to be leased as a manufactory in which tho convict labor can bo utilized. Eighty thousand bricks wore required for tho foundat*>ns. Near by wore numerous iron baso plates, column caps and pintles for the supporting columns of. the floors the hewn timbor for which was plied np ready to be turned. Several propositions havo been handed in for tho ImmedhUo UBoof this building and tho labor which will go with it, among them one shoe factory and another for a stocking factory. After n ploasant walk about the grounds, looking at other objects of in terest, we wended our way out'of the prison walls, stopping, however, long ! enough to notice tue new whito number- ; lng oi the cells, whereby they may be j tho more readily distinguished at night. Colo--ol Lipscomb has also contrived re flectors in connection with the yard lights, which light up the whola face of the galleries and malee the watching as certain as during the day. j Thanking our escort for their courtesy we emerge from the prison bounds, with raony sad reflections upon the perverse ' human nature which will unhesitatingly ' plunge itself into incarceration, perhaps forever, rather than obey tho behests of the almighty and tho laws of man.

Jiegiater. _. _ PPODUOTB OP CONVICT LABOB.-Some interesting facts in relation to labor have | been prepared by Superintendent Wright, of the Massachusetts Bureau of Labor Statistics. According to this expert tho number of convicts In 1878 in all the State prisons of the Union was 29,167, of whom 18,186 were employed in mechan ical industries. The greatest number was in New York n?d tho smallest number was in Bhodo Island, very naturally, thc ona being the largest and the other about the smallest State in the Union. At tho rate of forty cents per day, which was the average, the wages and earnings of convicts for tho wholeyesr amounted to $1,624,616. At $2 per day. which is the average price of similar labor outside of prisons, these same men would have earned $8,121,576 according to Mr. Wright. The products * prison labor, if we take the labor at ,~ per day, did not exceed $20,000,000 in 1878, while the -produces of all the mechanical industries of the United States, amounted to five thousand millions.

Nothing contributes more to that revi val ?r national sentiment at the South, which 'B now one of the chief objecta of Arnotican statesmanship, tbsn the patri otic celebration of those glorious achieve ments in the first revolution which were accomplished by Southern men upon Southern soil, and the memory of which links our State pride with thc glory of the Union. It is therefore fortunate that the meeting which was held at King's Mountain on the 20th of July, to organ ize for a Centennial celebration of the battle which occurred there on tb? 7th of October, 1780, was composed of men of influence and intelligence, and that the measures they adopted were such as are best calculated to accomplish tho end in view. The hatti ? of King's Mountain was one of those abnormal content* which BO fre quently occurred during tho revolution, each one of which illustrates what tho results of thc revolution itself proved, the inadequacy of military Bcience, even when supported hy numbers and courage, to overcome the advantages given by ardent and reckless patriotism end a thorough knowledge or tho scene of operation. The british and their Tory allies were superior in number to tho patriots, and occupied s vastly superior position, and their commander, Col. Patrick Ferguson, was an cxpriunced officer nnd a man of undaunted courage. Hut the Americans divided themselves into three parties and attacked from three difierent directions. The first that attacked him Ferguson charged with tho bayonet and drove down the bill, but in HO doing he exposed himself to a heavy flank fire from the second party, and when be turned on them tho fina rallied and tho third joined in the fray. In a hand to hsud encoun ter Ferguson was killed by Col. Williams, his troops become disheartened, and see ing they wcro out-Qencraled and sur rounded, surrendered, os they bad fought according to rule. It was a fight of which the conquered had no reason to be ashamed, but of which tho victors were juBtly proud, and which tho decendauts of those victors may well celebrate as a glorious event in the history of their country. The plan of organization for the King's Mountain Centennial proposed by tbo meeting, embraces tho seven States of North and South Caroliun, Georgia, Tennesseo, Kentucky, Virginia, and West Virginia. An Executive Com mitteoe was appointed, hended by Col. Anbury Coward, whoso position as tho the head of the King's Mountain Milita ry Scbool and bis military training and pereonal popularity and influence emi nnntly flt him tn perform?.eflbetively tho duties of that office. There are also Committees on invitations and corres pondence, on troops, on police, on trans portation, on ways ana means, on his torical records, on a monument and on preparations of tho grounds, on all which appear the names of men of nhill Ly and influence. It was determined to memo rialize the Legislatures of the seven States already mentioned for BUCII assis tance in the celebration ns.they may seo flt to give, and, in short, a most thorough organization was effected of all interes ted in the patriotic object of tho meeting and there is every reason to expect the King's Mountain Centennial to be the greatest American celebration ever held hy Rniit.hprnern.-News and Courier.
