There 4? quite a class in every CotnthunityVbo do not deem it dishonorable to ..re-' pudiate a printing bill, and who are scrupulously honorable in tbeir other business transactions. Some sett on the principle, that because they subscribe for a paper, it Is an insult to ask pay for advertising in its columns. They do net pause to reflect that the white paper and presswork cost nearly what they pay each week for their favorite lonrnal: and that the printers' uiiib, salaries, rema boo incidents, must Come out of the'Advertising patronage. And this leads us to another point?gratuitous advertising. Few peopie seein to comprehend that newspaper publishing, like niercbecidJeiDg, is a busi ne&&. Our dry goods merchant sells his prints and domestics; our Bocer his coffee, tea and bo useId supplies. Osrtain columns in & newspaper are devoted to promfrigating its opinions and the dissemination of what journalists term strictly news. The other columns are tfife publisher's dry goods and groceries?for sale, fto one not a professional beggar, would think of assing a dry goods merchant or grocer to furnish him a bolt of domestic or barrel of floor grati*:? Yet newspapers are asked every day to print, gratis^ communications of a purely personal character, end which should be paid for, like other advertising, litis is not because of any wish to impose on publisbeiV, but' because fo few comprehend that, iu asking free publication of matter of this kind, they are asking us to give them <ntr goods and groceries for noiK> ing. It is upon the proceeds of the columns of hit paper that a publisher relies for the bnlk of his current expenses and his profits.? We hope we<apeakrnlain]y enough to be understood. If a gentleman desires, by * published communication, to advauos the pecuniary, political or any other interests of mmself or a friend, he should certainly be willing to pay for the journal's columns in which it appears. . For the type-setting of this matter the publisher pays cash.? Whv should he be expected to do this? Certainly not because A. or B. may be a subscriber; for it is presumed he obtains "value received n for his subscription. In a word: newspaper publishing is a business. All ptber than its editorial and news columns are its goods, which, like those of other Merchants, should be paid tor. A column of advertising space is so much domestic, flour or coffee, for sale at the market price.

Hard and dull time bore is the cause." . For aomo time there baa been a constant tide of emigration from aUL parts of the South to California. It was represented?as the land | flowing with milk and boney, where we could easily repair tho broken fortunes of the war. We were told that the doors of employment were open to all, and that the laborer, especially, was met by high wages and aheartv welrom? Tariousletters reached os. Some Appeared in the public print, urging those who conld move to fly from the Republican disorganization and starving terms of the Sotfth and take refuge under the golden shadows of California. Others warned us that all was not gold that glitters, and that unless the pocket was well lined there was no hope on the Pacific coast. Bat the restlessness of human nature prevailed, and the tide etili flows in one unbroken stream. It is certainly to tho interests of the Pacific ooast, as it is with every new country, to encourage emigration, particularly the white bone and sinew of the older States. And the words of caution spoken by leading journals of that distant section come to us with all the sanelion of disinterested testimony. If wo have ears, let as hear. The fact seems to t>e that every avenue of employment in the way of clerkship, or the professions, is crowded and blocked, and every by-way of labor is occupied or pre-engaged by the Chinainen.. They have the refusal of every contract of work because ibey can live on leas, and underbid the native laborer. Tbis is so far the ease that an exodus of white labor threatens, and already the column has commenced its march back to Mississippi and Louisiana. Sometime ago #e met a middle aged gentleman who left this State just after the war with .the debris of hfs means, and has siuco travelled all over the East and Wost to discover a loca tioti for profitable investment, and returus to set up business in Orangeburg. Tbis speaks volumes for the advantages of our State. There is a general cry of dull, hard tiroes everywhere, aud the prospccts for business are no worse with us than with those who look I better tbe more distant tbey are. At home we are certain of friends; when we emigrate we are certain ot nothing except the diminishing greenbacks of the original pile. We, therefore, advise our people, one and all. to stay at home and help fight tue good jiglit for the weal, liberty ana fair name of our State.? Charleston Gazette, t German Family Life. Rev. Dr. Stevens contributes to The Methodist, the following interesting article on life in Germany : A good German home is the best in the world. I say this peremptorily. German mothers are thoroughly maternal and extremely affectionate; German fathers re generally forbearing and moderate, and singularly inclined to u domestication German children generally grow ??. a* tor instinct, with aa admirable mixture of filial reverence and affection. The Germans love large families; the move children, the better, according to their philosophy of life; mu *mmJ fPNnuiy nave aoundance of them.

Stimulant. *?*?* ^ ??f 1 Here is a temperance lecture by George B. Prentice: There is a time when the pntee lies low In the bosom and beats low in the veins ; When the spirit sleeps th4 steep which, apparently, knows no waking: sloops it) Its house of clay, and the windows are shot, the doors hnng with the invisible crape of melancholy ; when we wish the gclden sunshine pitchy darkness, and'with to fancy clouds where no clouds be. This is a eiate 01 sicKness wlien pbyeic may be thrown to thedogB, for we want none of it. What shall raise the spirit! What shall mqhe the heart beat music again, and the pulses, through all the myriad thronged halls, in the house of life! What shall make the sun kiss tho eastern hills again for us, with all bis old awakening gladness, and the night overflow with moonlight, love and gladness 1 Love itself is the greatest stimulant, the most intoxicating of all, and perforins all these miracles, and is a miracle itself, and in not at the drugstore, whatever they tav. The counterfelt is in the market, but t he winged god ts not a money changer, we assure yon. Men have Iried many things, but still they ask for stipiulant. Men try to bury the floating dead of their own 60uls in the wine cup,,but the corpses rise. We see the r faces in the bubbles. The intoxication of di ink sets tho world whirling again and the pulses to playing music, and the thoughts galloping, but the first clock rune down sooaer, and an unnatural stimulant only leaves the house it filled with the wildest revelry, more silent, more sad, more deserted. There is only one stimulant that never intoxicates?dntv. Dntv puts a clear sky over every man into which the sky light?happiness?always goes singing. The Love of the Beautiful.? Place a young girl under the care of a kind-hearted, graceful woman and she, unconsciously to herself, grows into a graceful lady. Place a boy in the establishment of a thorough going, straightforward business man, and the boy becomes a self-reliant, practical business man. Children aro susceptible creatures, and circumstances, scenes and actions always impress them. As yon influence them, not by arbitrary rules, not by stern example alone, but in a thousand other ways that speaks through bright scci es, soft utterances and pretty pictures, so will they grow. Teach your children then to love tko beautiful. Qive them a corner in the garden for, flowers, encourage them to put in shape the hanging baskets, allow thein to have their favorite trees, lead theui to wander in the prettiest wood lets, show them where they can best lew the sunset, rouse thera in the morning, not with the stern u time to work," but with the enthusiastic "see the sunrise!" Buy for them pretty pictures, and encourage them to decorate their rooms, each in his or her childish why. The instinct is in them. Give them nn inch and they will go a mile. Allow them the privilege and they will make your home beautiful. God is Just.?- An incident of Decoration Day, (May 30) has only iiist now come to notice on authority perfectly trustworthy,- The re* fusel on that day to allow the Confederate graves fn Arlington Getnetary to be decorated; toe fretmovat and trampling upon the few flowers drbpped upon the sleeping * Rebels," are facts which are still fresh la the minds of all. It will also be remembered tbat Saturday evening, after the prand Army of the Republic had left Arlington, there came on t severe storm, ac-1 compaoied by thunder and light ninxr And torrents of rain. Il?e following morning all was calm any sunny again. The night and storm had wrought a remarkable change in Arlington Ceinotary. The wind had caught up the flowers which decked the graves of the Union dead, and had bestowed them lavishly, tenderly upon the neglected reetipfpplaoes of the dead of the " Loet Onuee." Knoe deep in some pleeos lay the beautifn) flowers, in perfumed and colored drifts, with rain-drops glistening in the soft petals, like fresh fill len tears. The Noble Queen. pace: in a time of famine, a beggar woman, went through a village asking al ma. .. From aorae bo usee she was sent away with rough words} others she received a very small gift; only one poor gardener, as she was vary cold, invited ber into his warm rooms, and his wife, who had just baked cakes, gave ber a nice large pieoe. The next day, all the people at whose door the beggar woman bad called, were invited to supper in the Queen's ? since. When tbev came into tbe i Ining-room they beheld a small tableladen with the richest food, and also a large table with many plates on which there was here and there a piece of moaldy bread, a few artichokes, or a handful of bran; but, for tbe most part, the plates were entirely empty.

New TJsk for Paper.?Paper cravats, shirt-bosoms, and waistbands are becoming quite common among us, while the Japanese paper handkerchiefs are being intro-, duced abroad." But by a late En- ] glish invention this fabric is now to be used in the manufacture of clothing. The samples exhibited are sewn with a machine, giving seams almost as strong as a woven fabric, and possess great strength and flexibility. The inventor has particularly applied his process to the production of petticoats, which arc oither printed in imitation of the fashionable skirts of the day, or stamped ont with open work nt fiiiMi hpnnfir nr?rt a a ha amount of tabor with scissors and needle could imitate. Imitation cretonnes and chintzes for bed furniture are also made. The felted material "is so flexible that a curtain may be twisted into a rope and shaken out again, showing as little creasing as a chintz similarly treated.n Tliero are also tableclotbB similarly embossed with designs of great beauty. Imitation leather, impermeable to water, is likewise made of it, and produces a cheap and useful corering for furniture, and even serves for shoes. Tue Sweet Singkks of Israel.? It is a very remarkable fact that many of the finest singers and loftiest composers of Europe are Isrealites ; and, indeed, not a few of the profonndest musical critics and acutest writers on the aesthetics of music are of this same persuasion. We need merely mention a few names, known to every person of the least artistic culture, in illustration ot our 'assertion, and these are Meyerbeer, Mendelssohn, and Halevy. And it is seldom that a first-class musical performance is gotten up, either in this country or in Europe, without the assistance of Jewisn musical skill. It was not in vain, therefore, that the sweet IsrfceHtish singer of old bade his subjects and descendants to touch the harp and sound the timbrel; they have done it trom the days of David down to the present epoch, and many of the soblimeat creations of musical genius that have ever entranced tne heart of man find, their origin in tho inspirations of Jewish bards. 4 .as* v SevknSims.?1.

The Richest Boy in AmericaThe papers are telling about a boy in Hew England, now fourteen years of age, who is supposed to be the richest boy in the United States, because be has a great deal of mouey. - To our mind, the richest boy in America is the one who is good hearted, honest, intelligent, ambitious, willing to do right. He is the one who loves his mother, and always has a kind word for her; who loves his sister or sisters, and tries to help them, and regards them with true affection. He is the boy who does not call his father the "old man," but who lovpft liirn nnrl onpnL-n Irin^lv and of him, and tries to help him ?a the hairs of his old ago gather fast upon his brow. The richest boy is the one who has pluck to fight his destiny and future. He is the one who has tho manhood to do right and be hon* est, and is striving to be somebody ; who is above doing a mean action ; who would not tell a lie to screen himself or betray a friend. He is the boy who has a heart for others ; whose young raind is full of noble thoughts for the future, and is determined to win a name by good deeds. This is tho richest boy in America. "Which one of our readers is it i This bey we like \ we would be glad to see; wonld like to take by tne band and tell him to go on earnestly, that success might crown bis efforts. And if be is a poor boy, we shonld meet bim at the threshold, bid liim enter, and give him good advice, well and kindly meant. That other rich boy in New England we don't care any thing about, for there are fools and snob* enough to worship, flatter and spoil him. a a A Good WoMAsr.?Years may pass over her bead, but if benevolence and virtue dwell i n her heart, she is cheerful as when the spring of life opened to her view. When we look at a good woman we never think of her age. Bbe looks as charming as when the roses of yonth first bloomed on her checks. That rose not faded yet? it never will fade. In her neighborhood she is the friend and benefactor. Who does not respect and love the woman who has passed her days in acts of kindmes and mercy ? W<> rr>nn?t <n<>h * WAinan MVAr can grow old.
