We believe tbe further they go in that direction the better. We rejoice in the increasing tendency,to weigh and value men by what they do rather than by what they have done or by what their fathers have done. We are glad to think that this tendency prevails among all classes, high and low, rich and poor, and that the opposition to it is becoming so scanty and feeble that it is more an object for laughter than a cause for fear. There is no class division in South Carolina. The men who believe in man* hood, in progressive thought and action and real 'Democracy are among all the social degrees and sub degrees; those who cling to the ideas of a century ago are distributed likewise.

"Outlived Her Usefulness." . -The-following tonching article, from the pen of the late Mr. J. D. Chaplin, has. been often. printed elsewhere, -both in this country and in' England. Its needful lesson can now speak to the young with peculiar force, and we there? fore gladly give it a place in our col umB: Not long since a man in middle life came to.our door, asking for the minis? ter.' When informed that he was out of town he seemed disappointed and anx? ious. On being questioned as to his business he replied. "I have lost my mother; as this place used to be her home, and as my father lies here we have come to lay her beside him." " :My heart ;ro8e, in sympathy, and I said, "Youhave met with a great loss." " "Well, yes," he replied, with hesitan? cy, "a mother is a great loss in general, but our mother had outlived her useful neso. She was in her second childhood, and her mind had grown as weak as her body, bo that , she was no comfort to herself and was a burden to everybody. There were Beven of us, sons and daugh? ters; and we agreed to keep, her among us a year about. But I have had more than my Bbare of her, for she was too feeble to be moved when my time was out and that was1 more than three months be? fore her death. But then flbe was a good ; {motherherjp day, and toiled very hard to ibringjur up;" j i '-Without looking at the face of "the heartless man,I directed him to the house ...... * ? of a neighboring pastor; and returned to :-my nursery. .Lgazed on the merry little faces which smiled or grew sad in imita? tion?those little ones to whose ear no word; in cur language is so Bweet as f'mqther'H?and Tendered if that- day.. c^^^e^^^om^rhen^^y would say of me "She-has outlive'd her' usefulness; she ?as?no" comfort to herselffand-a burden to everybody else 1" And I hoped that before such a day bhould dawn 1 might -be taken to my rest? God forbid that I 'should butliv.e the love of ray children ! 'Bathei let me die while my heartis part of theirs, that my grave may be watered -by.their tears, and my love linked with theirhopes of heaven. When the bell tolled for. the mother's burial, I went to the 8anctuary to pay'ray ouly token of .respect to the.aged stranger; for I felt rtbat I could give her memory a tear, even though her own children had none to shed. "She, was ? good mother in her day,, and. toiled hard to bring ub all up?she was no comfort to herself, and a burden to everybody ehe." These cruel, heart? less words rang in my ears as I saw the coffin borne'up the aisle. The bell tolled . long and loud, untiHts iron tongue had chronicled the-years of tbe toil worn mother.

From.that rtoj sixty each stroke told of the warmhearted mother and -, grandmother, living over again her own joys and sorrows iu those, of children and children's children.

She begins to grow feeble, requires B?mfe care, ia not always perfectly patient or satisfied. She goes from one child; to'/ another, so that no place seems like home.

A look of patient endurance? ! we fancied, also, an expression of grief for unrequited love?sat on her marble features. Her children were there, clad in weeds of woe, and in irony we remem? ber the strong man'b word, "she" was a good mother in her day." When the bell ceased tolling, tbe strange minister rose in the pulpit. His form was' very erect, and his voice strong, but his nair was silvery white. He read several passages ofScriptureexpressive of God's compassion for feeble man, and especially of his tenderness when gray hairs'are on him and his strength faileth. He then made some touching remarks on human frailty, and dependence on God, urging ail present to make their peace with their Master while in health, that they might claim. His promises when heart and flesh failed them. "Then," he said, "the.eternal God shall be thy refuge and beneath thee shall be the everlasting arms." Leaning over the desk, and gazing in? tently on the coffined form, before him, he then said reverently, "From a little child I have honored the aged; but never till,gray hairs covered my own head, did I know truly how much love' and sympathy this class have a right to demand of their fellow creatures. Now, I feel it. Our mother," he added, most tenderly, "who now lies in death before all us was a stranger to me, as are of these, bee descendants. All I know of her is what her son has told me to day ?that she was brought to this town from afar, sixty-nine years ago, a happy bride; that here she passed the most of her life toiling, as only mothers have strength to toil, until she had reared a large family of sods and "daughters ; that she left her home here, clad in the weeds of widow? hood, to dwell among her children, till health and strength left her. God forbid that conscience Bhould accuse any of you of ingratitude or murmuring on account of tbe care she has been to you of Ia<e. When you go back to your homes be careful of your example before your own children j for the fruit of your own doing you will surely reap from them when you totter on the brink of the grave. I entreat you as a friend, as one who has himself, entered the evening of life, that yon may never say in the pres ence of yonr families nor of heaven, 'Our mother has outlived her usefulness?she was a burden to us/ Never, never I A mother can never live so long as that! No : when she can no longer labox for her children, nor yet care for herself, she can fall like a precious weight on their bosoms, and call forth by her helpless ness all the noble, generous feelings of their hearts." Adieu, then, poor toil worn mother ; there are no more days of pain for thee. Undying vigor and everlasting usefulness ere thy inheritance.?Religious Telescope, Heredity In Crime. Washington, August 5.?The Secret Service officials are watching with con? siderable interest the progress of the trial of Charles Jonhson at Sarnia, Ontario, on the charge of counterfeiting. Johnson is a member of a family which has been notorious as counterfeiters for a.quarter of a century. His grandfather was a famous counterfeiter in his day. His father and mother are well known to the police, while his six brothers and Bisters enjoy the distinction of being among the I most audacious and qlever sbovers of the ."queer" in the country. .The Johnson .family lived for many years in the vicini? ty of Dunkirk, N. Y., but the present home of such as were fortunate enough to keep out of jail is in Canada. Charles Johnson was arrested in Feb? ruary last at Detroit, Mich., for counter? feiting- five dollar certificates. He escaped to Canada, where be was arrested by the Dominion officials- for a similar offense against the laws of that country. He is one of the most expert counterfeit? ers living. He is a man about 50 years of age, and has spent half bis life in various Eastern and Western prisons. It is expected that he will be sentenced by the Canadian courts to a term of twenty years in the penitentiary, in which event he. will probably die there. ' - The Secret Service official from whom these facts were obtained was asked if counterfeiting was on the increase in this country. He replied that it was, but that the probabilities of arrest kept pace with it. A decade ago counterfeiting was a low and laborious process. Eighteen months and sometimes two years were frequently expended in preparatory work | before a single note was put into circula? tion. At the present time, by the aid of the photographic and electro typing pro? cess, two weeks is ail that is required. Quite naturally, the increased facilities for counterfeiting add enormously to the number of those who engage in it. Silver counterfeiting, the official continued, is a new branch'of the business, which has sprung up since the resumption of specie payments. The ? principal offenders in this line are Italians, who seem to lack the skill necessary for the more delicate I work of bank note counterfeiting. "Is it possible" was asked, "for a man j-tq follow the business; of counterfeiting Jong'witbont detection ?" "No," was the reply. "They are us ually apprehended in from thirty to ninety days." ' "Why do they risk the chances of a long imprisonment for so Blight a gain ?" "Because in the first place they are too lazy to earn an honest living, and in the second place each thinks himself too clever to be apprehended." How Seedless Raisins are Produced. ? "What, is a. seedless raisin and how' is it produced ?" recently queried a re? porter of an importer of fruits. "The next time you eat a piece of I mince pie," he.replied, "you will find the seedless raisin in it if the meat has been properly prepared. It is a smallish, cream colored fruit, about, the size of a gooBebeity, and is used with an unbroken skin. It comes . from Smryna and is called the Sultana. It is grown seedless simply by arresting one of the laws of Nature. When the grape is about one half ripe the end of the. vine is lent down and buried in the ground. This prevents the formation of seed and the full. development of the fruit, but it ripens all the same and has a delicious flavor. Seedless raisins have entirely supplanted other kinds in fine pudddiug* and pies. They retail at about FO cents perpcuod. ?

The Orlando (Fla) Record tells a remarkable story of the effects of a mad stone in a case of snake bite. A colored woman was bitten by a ground rattler, one of the most poisonous known. Two persons procured a madstone and went to the woman, whom they fouud in great agony, writhing and twisting on the bed, bo as to require two men to hold ber. They applied the stone to the wound, after first putting it in hot vinegar, with the ' most extraordinary results. The stone ' firmly attached itself to the wound and remained about four minutes, adhearing like a leech. It was then placed in warm water and threw off a greasy fluid of I grayish color, with a slight mixture of green. After a few minutes it was re? placed again, when it remained only about a minute. By this time the woman was free of pain and asleep, aud is m.w doing well. Bucklen' 5 Arnica Salvo.

Under the auspices of the Young Men's Christian Association the usual afternoon service was held yesterday in Association Hall. After several hymns had been tunefully rendered by the glee club and prayer was said, Mr. W. H. Sage wa3 introduced to the audience and delivered an interest ing address^on "Walking and Running." The speaker in his preliminary remarks explained that he was something of a pedestrian, and had taken walking trips every year for the past ten years, and he thought walking was somewhat analo? gous to a Christian's life. He thought that there was both walking and running in religion, but he for one did not believe in living always at a fever heat cf reli? gion. Heconsidered iL a dangerous course, and one that often led to despair. A steady walk with God meant that a man should not be more pious on Sunday than on any other day. Mr. Sage quoted several texts from tbe Biblewhere walking and running are mentioned. For instance, "Enoch walked with God," "Noah walked with God" and "Know ye that of all that run in the race one alone receiveth the prize." "Walking," he said, "is spoken of in the Bible as the proper attitude for tbe Christian, and running is spoken of as an exercise, usually employed in flight from danger. Whereever you find in the Bible the word 'walk' spoken of, it refers to companionship, as 'Enoch walked with God.' But there are very few texts in the Bible, except where there is danger, or the girding the loins for some compe? tition, that running is mentioned. The steadiness of Christian life is companion? ship. .1 ' , "NoW, aa to a walking trip, I think it emblematic of Christian life. Tbe walking trip always has a definite begin? ning ; it always has its experiences by the way, and it always has a definite ending. And a Christian's life is com? posed of just these three things."?New York Herald.

Leid, of the well-known and reliable Drug firm of Simpson, Reid & Co., says: Messrs. Hill Baos?Sirs : With much satisfaction I recommend your Fruit Pre? serving Liquid and Powder. I have tried the same with tomatoes, plums, apples, peaches and cherries. Find all the above perfectly preserved, with tbe natural taste of fruit, with no unpleasant tastp what? ever. Yours, R. A. Reih. Messes. Hill Bros?Dear Sins: Al? though we used your Preserving Fluid with misgivings, we have no hesitancy now in saying the fruit and vegetables have kept perfectly, and without any unpleas? ant flavor. The great advantage over the ordinary method of canning is, that tbe Fluid is more reliable, keeps larger pack? ages, and they can be opened and re-open? ed without injury to the fruit, &c. R. Marcus Bueriss. jlSr* Take care of your early fruit. Yours truly, HILL BROTHERS.

Baltimore, Ms., Jan. 28,1SS8. 1 have boon a sufferer for 6 years witli Catarrh, Ulcerated Soro Throat.and llheuniatisni of the Cilest, from Blood Poison. About four weeks ago I was passing the Botanic Blood Balm Store, Ho. 8 North Street, Baltimore. I went in and consulted your agout about my case. He gave me one of your B. B. B. "Book of Wonders," which I read. I called in a few days afterward and got a bottle of your Botanic Blood Balm?B. B.-B. I am now on the third bottle and will say that I have felt a marked improvement since the third day after commencing to use your medicine I now have no trouble from my throat, and bare improved so much in every way that I am satisfied that by the use of your medicine I will soon bo all right. I have taken many and some good prescriptions and medicines for this trouble, but I think your B. B. B. the best remtdy I have had, and I cheer? fully recommend your "Botanic Blood Balm" to the public as the quickest and best Blood remedy I have found, after six long years of search for health. Very respectfully yours, Joseph w. Flowers. ONE BOTTLE DID IT-BOILS CURED AND HEALTH RESTORED. B. B. B. Co., Atlanta, Ga.: Gents: My sister was afflicted for a number of years with bolls scattered about all over her per? son. They would make their appearance every spring, and last through tho summer and until late in the fall. Her health was sadly impaired, losing flesh and strength every day; in fact, they were sapping her life. I gave her one bottle of B. B. B., and the effect was like magic, producing a complete cure and restoring her health. To-day she is perfectly .sound and her health fully re? stored. It is without doubt tho best and most valuable Blood Purifier now on the market. Yours, etc., D. M. McRae. Wayneslwo, Miss., July 14,18S7. INFORMATION.
