No election by thc people in Rhode Island. Old Tray, we have no doubt, was an honest dog, but it was his fault as well as misfortune to bc found in bad company. The Union Herald lino called upon Judge Andrews -to tell what he knows about the passage of "those claims." The public schools in many of the dis tricts have closed as a result of the in formation obtained nt the trustee meeting of last. Monday. The meeting was very successful In accomplishing its object. One of the speakers getting somewhat excited emphasized his words by tirin<' oil' a pistol, which fortunately did no ^pjerage although th': room was crowded. ' We wish to explain to our readers the reason why several personal squibs appeared in our last issue. It is not our style to expose or attack any ene unless first attacked or wc see that lue exposure is a muller of great public interest. A copy of the Nevis and Times came into our pos session before our going to press and knowing thc author of eertiun personal allusion, all that wc said of a per sonal nature was elicited in reply. Allen Brown was not one of those who bought some of that mort? aged land but there was a transaction in reference to some landrin winch Alien Brown was interested.

On Sunday last, Marshal Wolfe was informed by some of the work men on Izlar & Dibble's new office that a man was in this vicinity whom i hey recognized as one who had com mitted a murder in Augusta several months ago. Marshal Wolfe discov ered that a man answering thc de scription of thc murderer had been lo have his fortune told, had left two dollars and was expected to return as soon as thc fates could bc consult i ed in reference to his destiny. Thc fortune teller was well posted as to the suspicions against him and when ho returned accused him of be ing a murderer, when he instantly fled. Ile was captured and is now waiting for a requisition from thc Governor of Georgia. The man's name was Rubin Gcrtcr.v We under stand bc has confessed the crime. Banabus Williamson has sued the FREE CITIZEN for $20,000 damages done to his reputation ! Think ol the plethoric reputation of a county clerk being bled by a few squibs from our feeble organ to the tune of $20,000 ! This is certainly more effectual ser vice than we had anticipated. Thiel little field piece of ours must bc worth preserving and keeping in good repair, j j as wc ure more than certain we shall have further use for it. Next week we expect to publish thc complaint of the same Banabus Wil liamson, omitting thc chorus after the first verse, lt displays great legal acumen, ami is worthy the profound study of every aspirant to the legal profession. We shall charge withing for the advertisement. All that we have said about said Barnabus Williamson lias been stated from good mot ives and for justifiable ends and wc have faith in our ubi!it3 to prove in justification the turk ol every assertion. "Senator Andrew* introduced, anil had passed through the Semite, j ?hil resolution r? baling thc tax<> ni . prop erty I st hy itu* late lire in mir > ni u. hu the resolution wa* h?st in the linnhe. Our Stfualor did his part td the w??rk. [?Vi tc? ?? Tina ? We are quite willing to give Senator Andrews credit for any good work, and we object to the above extract only so far as it has a tendency to reflect upon the House delegation. A bill was intro duced in the House to rtsbate the tuxes on all the property destroyed by the tire; while the "joint resolution" provided for thc- rebutement of taxes only ott such property as was not insured. As there were similar cases in other counties, il seemed to be the opinion of the House that thes'j should be all provided for in one hill. So the committee to which was referred thc House hill reported unfa vorably. That, tho '.joint resolution" was lost in thc House wu? not owing to any lack of interest, energy or influence on thc part of our representativo?, but to thc fact that. It did not reach thc House In time to get the required read ing to become a law. and as the result shared tho fate of a great, many other bibs and joint resolutions. Why the Ends do not Meet. There are thousands of families in this country and abroad who have always difficulty in making ends meet. Many of them are diligenl workers and earn well, but their pur pose of cottage and comfort are frus trated, and their purses empty. They aro, constantly falling short of their desired goal. They arc of that, large class who arc ever making mort gages upon their earnings before they are received. They always flatter themselves that great successes are ia stone for them next year so they go on spending foolishly in the mean time. The wants of these people are never satisfied. Like spoiled chil dren, that which hangs so gracefully upon the shoulders of rich neighbors they must have. Everything that con tributes to manhood ami independ ence is sacrified in order to get it. That was not the way Benjamin Franklin mounted up to high emi nencc in financial and intellectual strength. He earned before he spent and always expended with thought ful judgment. His investments al ways hi ought homo good returns. He <*ns the friend of struggling worth, and because a wisc spender he was capable of giving a helpins hand where help was needed. Franklin always made the ends meet, and helped others to do so. In the matter of domestic expendi tures we have lost the common sense of our forefathers, and have conse quently missed thc contentment which distinguished them. Wc must, if wc would bc independent and and able to hell) others, have reference again to first principles, amt refuse to en croach upon capital, dealing spnrng ly oven with the interest income. The family that, would be prosperous and powerful for good must reduce iheir wants and increase their exer tions. In thc day of activity and high wages preparation is to be made b>r rainey days; and how can this he done, it', in the swelling iide, every member of the family with furs and leathers is aping the style and out lay of families whose income is ten times as great. What shall wc say of that large class who daily waste, aye, worse than waste, dollar after dollar upon rum and tobacco? Who is surprised that these people after a while are unable to make ends meet, and that their families arc thriftless and ex travagant? There are thousands of amilies living in fashionable and ex pensive quarters,sweat ing and schem ing to equal their neighbors in what is ca led gentility, ordering from thc market canvass back ducks and the choicest cuts, who arc wasting their substance and beggaring themselves. In the course of time a panie s? r? lbese pitiful families, ami they are more helpless than dismantled ships j in a storm. The linisucd scholar and j?real apostle, St. Paul,-had a trade. Ile always made thc ends meet. ile wasn't too proud to work at thal trade for his daily bread even when he was thc 'nearer of heaven's high commission. , Ile would not he bur densome lo any. Of course he never borrowed, for he always worked. No wonder lin- pi-oplc were ready to, give him lheinselve>.. St. Paul was a great doer. Ile had no difficulty in soiling himself to altered circum alances. He was content in utiy con dition. Dollinf, bk?' our faculties, ar?' from God, ami if wu misuse (hem, cert!.ii. il. I? i hele wdl be chilli ?d- \ in making the ind-- meei. There is nothing like the common sense of Christian itv to make families comfortable. Invest inenls for others never fail of I dividends. RKAD AN HOUR ? DAY. There was a lad, who, at foin leen, wr.i nppiv. -. ticed to a soap dealer. One ol' his resolutions was to read an hour :t day, or at, least at that rate, and be had an old silver watch, left him by his uncle, which he timed his reading by. He stayed seven years with I is master, and it was saul when he w twenty-one he knew a much as thc young squirl? did. Now let. us see . how much time he had to read in, r.< seven years, at the rate of one lu.... a day. It would be two thousand li - . hundred and ii fly-fi vc hours, which al the rate of eight hours a day, would equal to three hundred and ten days ; equal to forty-five weeks; nearly a year's'reading. Thai time spent in treasuring up useful knowledge wuold pile up a very Iorgo stoi c. I am sure it is wovih trying for. Try what you cando. Begin now.

Tliere is soon to be a paper entitieii ns above, issued from this office, and pub lished in the ?ntcrest* of the M. E. Church in this portion of our work. Since the unwise removal of the Charleston Advocate^ our work has been enlarging and extending in this section and demands multiplying for a local or gan. The Charleston Advocate was for two years published tn Charleston. It wits during this eventful period In the history of our cause in the South, one ol the most important auxiliaries of our ivork. Its removal left a vacant place liere which has not since been tilled, is an old saying, "thatblessings brighten as they take their Hight." This was cm phatlcally true in reference to our claper tor this coast. Many were taken by sur prise nt hs sudden removal and were anxious for Its return. If we had been us fully advertised of the wants and wishes of thc people in this section, be fore the transfer of that paper to Atlanta. Ca., as we were after It was done, lt would never have gone from us. The Methodist Advocate is a good paper und ?illly conducted, but it is too distant from thu Atlantic coast to meet our local wants in this suclion. Our work on this coast ilillcrs in some particulars from our work in thu section of Atlanta, or the valley- ol tile Mississippi. Its peculiar phases can not bc met by those who live at a dis Lance from ns. and are not conversant willi the exigencies and demands of this ellon.
