build prosperity. 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

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.

The Ota' FraricUSo Weekly Despatch
says: *"
4 X mifliber 6f mechanics, con*
posed of cmrpenWrai brick ntasoos,
etc., of this cUjv are .making ar
raugetneut* to emigrate to Mississippi
and Lonsiana. 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

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

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

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

Ining-room they beheld a small
tableladen with the richest food,
and also a large table with many

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

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

the fashionable skirts of the day,

and shaken out again, showing as
little creasing as a chintz similarly
treated.n Tliero are also tableclotbB

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.

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

This bey we like \ we would be
glad to see; wonld like to take by

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
