IN OLDE Cbriotmas at Due We l??jor J. 0. Homphill, Editor of Tha P formed Pr Whenil >vus a boy there was only one Episcopalian living at Due West. All of hi a family were Seoeders, and, except when he went at rare intervals to Abbeville Court House to attend the aervioesj at Trinity Church on the most solemn days in the oalendsr, he worshipped in the village meeting house. There was only one Baptist and two families of Jews, the strait est of tbeir'eect, then living* at Due West. There were not more than half a dozen Human Catholics in the coun ty, and it is' doubtful if one of that faith had ever visited so unusual a community. The celebration of Christ mas at Due West wss in no sense of a religious character, but was a season of good cheer, of the giving of gifts, of merry-making in a primitive but entirely natural way. It was plain Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and Paul, and not St. Matthew, St. Mark, St. Luke, St. John and St. Paul. It was ''the Gospel according to Matthew," and not "the holy Gos pel." It would have been as natural to speak of St. Moses as of St. Mark, of St. Jeremiah as of St. John. The only Siiint known in the community was Santa Clans, and even he was not regarded as worthy 'of auy sort of adoration or worship, but oxAy as a convenient, if somewhat heterodox, messenger of that goodwill which the Almighty manifests to all His - chil dren in all His w?rkB of providence and graoe. The whole temper of the community was against the obsorvr.noo of the'eeason in a religious way, not because its people were unmindful of their duty and obligations, but be cause they and their teachers enter tained a wholesome if exaggerated, idea of the wioked tendencies of saint worship,' and holy days. Christmas in Due West was not, therefore, a reli gious festival when I was a boy, in name at least, although I am suro that it was in~ spirit. There have been many changes doubtless in the last 30 or 40 or 50 years, but when I asked Ralph Grier the other day if Christmas is now regarded as a re ligious season in Due West he an swered; "No, religious services are never held there on/Christmas day unless it falls on the Sabbath." But now, as aforetime, there io ? receBB in tho college exeroiees, and a "swarray" at the Female College dur ing Christmas week, and a turkey din ner, and fresh sausages, and the ex changing of gifts; and dances in the oountry roundabout, and possibly an inoursion of inebriated individuals from Hbgskin and the Nation. , When I was a boy, if the weather was cold . enough, Christmas pame about hog-killing time, and there was always an abundance of good thine? io eat. The family prayers were the same, morning and evening*- us on other days, and every other day, throughout the year; but the coming of the mythical saint with his sleigh and reindeer, the loading of the stock ings : with trompete and drums and dainties thai were good to eat, the giving of gifts that nobody wanted, the ohase of fox and rabbit, and "the slaughter of birds; the holding of Ohristmas tree festivals in some con venient place for the yosr-g aa? old people c? th* town wera much th? S?uio then as tney aw now. It was somewhat difficult, probably, to avoid presumptuous sin even so many years ago, hut the people of Due "West came very near doing the right thing, and drew the line in a very ; uncompromis ing way between what is required and what ia forbidden in the command ments, Sovie of us who have gotten out of touch with the simple faith of tw?se times/ who have learned to eat hoi dinners on Sabbath sndUo call th? day ''Sunday' ' instead of; Sabhathj who' cannot discover much differehca baiwe?u Watt's Version and the United Presbyterian Psalter, who ate getting used to "open communion'/ and all that; sometimes wonder how in the , world w? ever got away from the old times and the bid things/ and wish that might travel; over. th?t samo narrow road ?gain.

AU of us had ambitions in tho60 days and life has not turned cut pre cisely ?,5 ?o expected. My earliest and fondest ambition was to bo a hog driver. Henry YouDg will remember with what excitement the whole com munity was thrilled when the .news came that a drove of Tennessee or Kentucky hogs were on the way from Donaldsville, and with what enthu siasm the grand men were hailed as with their "ho-ho-ho" they cracked their lougo whips in the air and drove their squealing, grunting victims down to Hawthorne's lot for sale and sacri fice. But the hog drover has passed outf?nnd the cookings of the melts on red hot stones, aod the blowing up of the bladders, aad the souse aod the sausage, and the cracklings are only a memory in thoso advanced times of the stookysrd and the combination lard. But as I have said, there were Christmas trees in those days, and even some of the <(uaoo guid" were not averse to "a wee drappio" just for the sake of being neighborly liberal minded. Tho men of Due West,, however, were noted then, as they doubtless are now, for their tem perance in all things, and the women for their self'-effaoecient. The spirit of sacrifice was tho spirit of the com-, munity, and the general disposition of the people was to sharo and share alike in whatever good or evil fortune came about. "The Due West Teles-, nopo" was the church and village newspaper. In it the peoplo were ad vised of wh,at was going on 5a tho out side world, and there was no subject from psalmody to slavery and seces sion which was not discussed in its columns. .There was not a great deal of visiting in the. community, and there was little idle gossip, but there was always the best of feeling among the neighbors, . Quilting parties were not unusual among the elders, and the boys and girls managed aoraebow, as they bave always done everywhere, to maintain frieudly relations. There i was much generous and harmless rivalry amoog the housekeepers in do I meBtio matters, and it was generally ooooeded that there was nothing bet ter than Mrs. Pressly'o molasses pies, Mrs. Grier's cev?-pone, Mrs. Young's quince' pr?serves, Joe Darlington's , mother's candy and 'confections, and my mother's beaten biscuit. It was a wholesome, atmosjlere .?in 'whioh to live, and when Christmas time oeme there was always happiness and con tentment, beeanse for 12 months the people had ? weit: together in unity. I remember one Christmas tree fesr ti val that was given in the old Eu phemian hall on the second floor of the college building, and that the special piize whioh had been placed on tho tree "for the noisest boy in town" was, very unjustly but by ap parently tie; unanimous consent of the judgeB, awarded to me. There wero gifts on the tree for everybody and everybody wes happy until some nicked college boy-??poaajfely hs wss from Beaufort Or Charleston?fired a" rooket from tha college campus through one of the windows of the festal hall, and "came very near put ting out Dannie ?Tones' eye.*' . That was a very serions moment and it marred somewhat tho pleasure of an otherwise very delightful ocoasion. The nearer! appros?h.to the Christ maa dances of the present time in so called ' "advance" spoiety we$i "tho twistifioatio.n party." I havo forgot ten exactly how it was dene, hut% remember that there was winding in and winding out sud tho changing and turning of. partners, and the swinging of corners', and "a"^ lhafe and a' that," to the sound of muaio on piano or fid-' die or 0^ the /band, *hioh in its wild rythme oatae perilously near.being like |g|j$ two-step style of Sousa whioh at this day is not deemed unworthy ac companiment for some of the "songs of htttcao composition" so much af fecteditt our "institutional" religion.

Had a Sure Engagement. When I was a boy the joys of the Ohristmas tirao were inuoh affected by tbe terrible excitement of war and the sorrow which filled every heart beoauso of those who would return homo no more Thero was crops 'on nearly every door in Duo West, and while thoso who were hft behind wont about their accustomed work and strove with all the loyalty of their hearts to help tbo cause of truth and tight, the dread of some impending evil was ever present with them, and with the little folk who were too young to be killed. The day that Livy Grier and Poinsctt Lindsay and Enoch Pruitt -were all buried, one after tho other, in the ohurohyard at Due West will never bo forgotten by the boys and girls of that period. They did not understand, exactly what it meant, perhaps, but they knew that these men had died fighting for thorn and their country. Most of the talk of that time was about the god of war and not about^the Prince of Peace, and it was only natural that in the celebration of tho holiday season there should not have existed that unoonfined joy whioh iaVharaoteristio of happier times. Charleston, S. C. ' ? Mrs. Cummings w83 busy at hor desk, Bays Lippinoolt'a, when Ned, au "old-time1' darxey who had been a servant in her family sicco "befo' de wah" days approaohed her and with many apologies for the interruption, asked, "Miss Sally, can I git oft' two weeks' from today? I has to go to town, ma'am.' i "Two weeks from today. Wby I think bo, Ned. What are you going to do in town?" inquired Mrs. Cum mings, kindly. "I wants to go to a fun'al, Miss Sally; a irien' of mine's gwine to bo buried den," said Ned. "You do not mean two weeks, then, Ned," returned Mrs. Cummings. "Yeo'm, Miss Sully, it's two weeks from today; hain't dat do twenty fust?" "Yea, two weeks from today will be the twenty-fust, but you must be mis taken, they could not keep the body bo long, exoept in a vault." Mrs. Cummings was now tfc aroughly puzzled at tho old darky\a request, and wondered what it all could mean. She knew none of Ned's "set" could afford to pay for a vault and. how could, they be making arrangements for a funeral two weeks hence, with the prospective corpse still alive. The thought mcde her shiver. "Well'm, dat de day," said Ned. "But how can you bo so sure? Sup pose your friend is not dead by that time?!' "Oh, y as'm he eholy will bo by do twonty-fuot; dat's de day he's, gwine to be buried 'nlesshe git out bcfoV "Ned, what do you mean? When did he die?" asked Mrs. Cummings. "Oh, he ain't dead yet.

The Greenwood Journal has been re quested to publish the following facts relating to the ancestry of General Robert Anderson and Capt. James Anderson, two brothers who removed from Augusta county, Virginia, to South Carolina: Tho former, Gen. Robert Anderson, went several years prior to the Revo lutionary War. Ho was an jifioer in that war, serving under General Piok ens in South Carolina and Georgia. His brother, Capt. Jaraes Anderson, sorved throughout the Revolution with the Virginia troops. He was captain of a company from Augusta county, Virginia, and removed to South Carolina in 1786 or 1787. Their father, John Andersou, lived about six miles northeast of Staunt-jn, Augusta county, Virginia, within two miles of the historio OldSlono church, Presbyterian. Ho was ono of its tiret elders and in that ehurch his children were baptized in infancy. According to tho ohuroh record Robert was Bap tized Nov. 15, 1741, and James March 6, 1748 Says the oourt record of Augusta county, made at Staunton in 1740: "John Anderson and Jean, his wife oame from Ireland to Philadelphia and thenoe on to tho neighborhood of Staunton in 1740, bringing their three children, Esther, Mary, Margaret, and entering 50 acres of land for each of the live." Augusta oounty, Virginia, was constituted about the year 1740, and John Anderson was a member of the first commissioners' oourt of the oounty. Tho oourt oonsisted of 20 membsr? appointed by the governor. Of the three ohildren above mentioned Esther and Mary must have died in childhood. The third child, Margaret, became the wifo of Capt. Jas. Allen, tho noted Indian fighter, and was the mother of 10 children, all of whom married and reared large families. She has numer ous descendants now living in Augusta oounty, Virginia. The fourth child John, died young. The fifth ohild was Robert, afterwards Gen. Anderson of South Carolina. He was married on Nov. 6, 1765, to Ann Thompson of Augusta oounty, Virginia. He had throe daughters and one son. His descendants in Anderson county are tho Maxwells, and in Piokens county the Hunters who live at Wolf Creek. The d eeodants of his other daughter, M.-l. Maverick, havo moved to other States. His son, Col. Robert Anderson, had a large family, and many of his descendants, have left South Carolina. The next ohild of John Anderson was Jean (or Jane) who married first Hugh Allen and after his death Wil liam Craig. She left three Allen and six Craig children. The seventh ohild was. James. He was married on Deo. 10,1771, to Ag nes Craig of Augusta oounty, Virginia. In 1786 or 1789, as previously staled he moved to. South Carolina and set tled in what was then Pendleton Dis trict, after divided in half and called Piokens and Anderson, for Gen. Piok ens and Gen. Anderson. James was the father of 11 ohildren, sevenMaugh and four s?ns all of whom are dead and their ohildren have removed to other States, with the single exception of tho descendants of his son, Dr. Wil liam Anderson. His sons, R. H. and W. Anderson still reside at the home stead; 10 miles east of Anderson. His daughters, Mrs. S. C McLees, Mm. R. H. Reid and Mrs. Ann E. Tarraut, all remained in South Caro lina. . Mrs, Ell-a O. Orr lives in Al lante, Mrs. O. L. Burkhead lives in Virginia; Mrs. Augusta V. Anderson and Miss Belle Anderson wont to Ala bama. Both of the latter are dead, as is also Mrs. MoLeos. The eighth ohild of John Anderson was Andrew. He remained in Vir ginia and lived and died at the old homestead. The ninth ohild was William. He remained in Virginia until 1764 and then removed to Kentuoky. These four brothers, Robert, James, Andrew and William, were office? in the Rev olutionary War. Mrs. O. L. Burkhead, :.'V.

Tho City hospital authorities of Atlantic City have fallen in with tho notions of the eminent Brooklyn physician who a few weeks ago broke tho news to n world of waiting patients that soothing po tions hereafter must glvo place to soothing tunes. Quinine in nil Its bitterness is to be swept away before a gule of sonorous sonatas. Ill tusting tonics are to be battered down by the stirring strains of marches. Annoying anaesthetics must glvo way to plaintive, droning melodies, which bring drowsiness and forgetfulnoss to wakeful eyes. Fuu gent paregoric is to be banished from the nursery for "Mother Gooso" tunes in modern vein. The Brooklyn physician conducted his experiments with a self playing pi ano. Sprightly tunes, he found, quick ened sluggish pulses, while melodies, soft and low, soothed temples throb bing with fever. Atlantic City has gone into the musical cure on a more lavish scale. A hospital orchestra baa boon formed, and now while the pa tient listens to the strains of rhythmic waltzes his Ills disappear In the dying tones of the melody. Moving about from room to room the strange medical orchestra fits its tunes to tho ailments of the sick, cheering tho melancholy and quieting the J??ip lng nerves of the excited. The hospital physicians are delighted with the suc cess of their musicul treatment so far and declare tho new field one of tho most promising opened up in many years. Even in the operating room they believe the. effect of the music will bo beneflciully felt. FREE LEGAL ADVICE. Former Cleveland Jtidsrc Will Aid Lltlcanta Unable lo Hire Counsel, Judge A. B. Dissette of Cleveland, O., intends to devote tho rest of his life to furnishing legal aid to those in need and unable to retain counsel, says a dispatch from Cleveland. Tho Judge's term on the common pleas bench expired a few days ago. He is weil past middle life, but his health is excellent, and every indication points to his having many years in which to practice his unique charity.*' "Ten years on tho bench have shown me the need of Just such practical philanthropy," said the Judge. "When a rich man goes to court he has tho ablest legal counsel to care for his in terests. Bnt when a poor man is forced to ask the courts for his rights very often those rights must be forced from the reluctant wealthy. In this case the poor man is at a disadvantage. "The poor man is often compelled to submit to wrongs because he has not the means to seek redress in the courts. He is unable to hire a lawyer. From now on i am going to help persons in that condition. I know that in a cer tain class of coses competent legal counsel can be secured by means of contingent fees. But there are many canes involving rights where thero is no possibility of tbe necessary money being earned In the form of a verdict. "I don't know of any more crying need than that,'' concluded the Judge. "To help the man who is in trouble by giving him the benefit of free legal services?I know of no other better way that a lawyer can do good." RULES FOR SPARKING.
