A woman to the holy father wont,
Cotifusion of stn was her intent;
And so her misdemeanors, «reat and Small,
She faithfully rehearsed them all;
And chlefest in her catalogue of bln,
She owned that she a tale-bearer hud been,
And.borne a bit of scandal up and down
To all the long-tongued gossips In the town.
.The holy father for her other sin
Granted the absolution asked of him;
But while for * 11 the rest he pardon gave,
He to! her this offense was very grave,
And that to do fit penance she must go
Outby the wayside where the thistles grow,
And gathering the largest, Yipest one,
Scatter its seeds, and when this was done
She must come back another day
To tell him his command she did obey
The woman, thinking this penance light,
Hastened to do his will that very night,
Feeling rightglad she had escaped so well.
Next day hut on® she went the pi legt to
tell;
The priest sat stAli and heard the story
through.
Then said, " There's something still for
you to do;
Those little thistle seeds which you have
sown
I bid you go regather every one.” ’
The woman said, “ But, father, ’twcfuld be
vain
To try to gather up those seeds again;
The winds have scattered them both far
ana wide,
Over the meadowod vale and mountain
side."
The father answered, '' Now I hope that
from this
The lesson I have taught you will not miss;
You cannot gather back the scattered seeds.
Which far and wide will grow to noxious
weeds;
Nor can the mischief once by scandal sown
By any penance ne again undone.

Mb. Editor Probably a description
of a Ashing excursion undertaken by a
few of Our villagers on tbe eve of June,
willdocbrest some of your readers, or
rather be a lesson to those who would
like to embark hereafter. On said day
about Uiree p. in., a party.of aiileft
town to meet one Mr. Fisherman who
had promised to teach them the mode
of catching and eating flsb. Well,
they lauded first on the Outskirts of
the swamp at Mr. Fisherman’s dwellieg,
but did not find him as per agreement;
but were instructed to continue on their
journey to the lake, where they would
doubtless meet up with him. After
landing at said lake and going through
all the usual duties incumbent upon
fishing excursionists, such as digging
bate, cutting wood, building fires,
singing songs and hollowing generally,
the party quietly sat down to await the
coining of aforesaid Fisherman. About
8 o’clock at night Mr. Fisherman not
having turned up, It was suggested
that a few ash poles bo cut and fishing
lines tied thereto, and that the same
should be baited with fat bacon and
set out for catfish. In a few moments
after Urls 4t was suggested that suppe#
should be commenced, whether there
was fish caught or not. ' Well, the corn
meal was mixed up with lake water,
and the bacon was fried ; alter which
all was called up ; but before grace
was allowed to be said, it was suggested
that the whole pany take a little corh
first, aud by a unanimous vote the
chemical Was imbibed, next the supper,
that fish supper, corn bread and fried
bacon. The meal being over, all hands
thought it best to fish a little, but one
who said it wau no use as "our mans
vill soon be here ; ” and as the party
looked upon said speaker ns sort of
boss and fortune-teller combined, there
was no fishing done. But soon tbe
aforesaid boss was snugly couched
under one of the buggies and snored
so loudly that thdowls began to answer
him iu the swamp. Arousing him from
Ills ahtiober, j i-*t as an owl squeaked,
lie ran out from Under the buggy, and
said, " dere boys, our mans is coming.
Don’t you hero him holler?” Well,
after a long time he was persuaded
that the noise catho from an owl aud
not the Fisherman. After being con
vinced, ho remarked, •'Yell, vat dus
dis d—n ting costs any way? Let me
ze I brings ^ pk meal, 14 lbs bakin
and oun dollars rort of coffee and $11
worth of veels dat broke down in
town,” and theQ by way of casting
stews.”
“ Veil den ; bow much? ”
“ About a double handful.”
"You don’t say so? You dink we
can daste de fish ? ”
“Iduno, sir, but I speck you can,
if they ain’t nil cooked up,”
“ Veil, den ve dries it; cum up, boys,
and let’s dry do sdew. Oh ! first, lot’s
dry some more dat corn fore we eat
des eubber.”
>Jv 0
And all the hands tried the corn, but
not all the supper. Howpver, as soon
as supper was finished, the boss struck
up the familiar piece, “ Yen der ban
bekins to blay, Yen der ban bekios to
blay.” All joined tbe chorus ; and on
inotfbn it was agreed that the whole
party break up tbe fish and go back
home, nine miles to travel and three
o’clock In tbe morning. The party
arrived at homo about day-break, and
the boss went off immediately to our
town wood workman and was informed,
“ Dat dem veels und gosts 15 or 20
dollars,” he says, “the next dime I
von’t go a visblng,” and so won’t I.
And now in our town there are six
wiser men, our German boss—our Trial!
Justice and hia constable .and^ com
mittee of young merchants!.

Once launched in society, it is the
duty of every debutante to make her
self as attractive aa possible. The un
written law is strict on this point. It
is assumed that those within the
charmed circle are deeireus of giving
a fair equivalent for the entertainment
they receive. Nothing, however, will
destroy a debutante more effectually
than an attempt to appear superior to
her surroundings.
The way to retain the approbation
of society is not always the way that
self-respect would dictate, cr true dig
nity could follow. To reign a supreme
favorite Implies more amiability than
most people t^ould care to possess.
“ What man is tbefe who offendeth
not?” And the woman who attains
that degree of perfection Is le&s sensi
tive or more accommodating than one
need desire to be. Extreme forbear
ance is bad in anybody, however
charming it may be from asocial point
of view. It is the duty of woman to
cultivate a sharp tongue" and fiery
scorn for everything that is base, indeli
cate and irreverent. The popular fijj
vorlte, by reason of'UiA office^ rffust

If she succeeds, she will retain the
crown, but her success will be no es
pecial credit to her. It was secured by
the sactiflce of something far better
and more valuable. Perhaps the saa-
Mest fate that can befall a young per
son is popularity, ihe idol consider
ed rhofct worthy of ancient I'eVerehce
was too holy to be profaned by com
mon eyes much less by common touch.
Contrasting the slights, humiliations,
annoyance aud hcart-borninge of the
most fortunate of social toilers with
the serene life of those who are con
tent to shed their light on something
better than socifety, it becomes a mar
vel that candidates for social honors
should ever be found. . The best wo

wives talk of covering their carpets

but W rarely occurs to them that it
would be still wiser to procure appro

that score. Girls must hat# " society,”
and young men will get'druhk, and
the sooner any squeamiShcpse is over

between drunk and sober is to court
Social ostracism. The worldly-wise
toother holds that it is to toler

debauch, than to lose a I4r,ge portion
of her visiting circle. \ q ,
What can be expected from a creed
which teaches that society is the nll-
essentiai thing, and that it# morals are
immaterial? What hope is theie for
the pjrre in heart, or for the voluntari

society is ths-wupreme eilt of life, and
then learn, by observatiotfj that socie

During this debate I must mention,
with special pleaaute, that Gen. Hamp
ton contrived to inject into the belly of
Edmund#’speech an explanation that
sickened it. The South Carolina Sen

this, Gen. llamptbh gave- if’Bit of •*-

when they came to Washington and

taken of this reasonable request. Gen.
Hampton made his points in a telling
style, and exacted from Mr. EdmundJ
an atoennt of confusion and npoto^y
not often conceded by that relentless

that the desired object is found in tbo
person of an ineXperiPficetl giL, or of

without reverence, something of her
holiness has gone froth her. Lastly,
whether the meaning is plain or not,
it is well to impress on every gir l that
while " kiss i» the aurora of love,” it
is also unquestionably " the sunset of
chastity.”
If women only knew their worth
there would be fewer tragedies to re

and outrages of society, or privat#
life, exist? It may be urged that tbe
erection of any rigid standard of mor-
aliiy and propriety wbuld deprive its
advocates of that sine qua non, a pro
posal. The uniuiated thay fear this.
But among men it is an open ffocret
that nothing so much incites than as a
seeming obstacle to his lordly will

Taken at its best, it is a pitiful king
dom over which society reigns. What
ever is mean flourishes, its baseness
concealed under smooth conventional
ities. YY hatever is good and true fails
to please, unless accompanied by mere
tricious graces. The typical m^n Of

the reason, it is certain that the belle

of eau-de-coiogne. There was a pillow
on a sofa by a window, both sWes of
whjch were bloody. A dark dtVss of a
thin texture and a light t-hawl both of
which belonged to Mrs. Hull, were
wrapped around her throat, but not
tightly. These and the bed clothes, as
well as ber hair, were siturated with
cologne and water, from which It is in
ferred that her assaiDnta bat’not in
tended to tnhrder her, and had made
an effort to revive her. Both eyebrows
were singed. Her lingers were badly
torn In the act of pulling oil her rings,
but not enough to account for the
blood on ths pillow, and there was not
a spot of blood oh ber body or on the
bed clothes. It looked as if the blood;
which had probably come from her
nose and ears, had been washed off,
and the pillow removed. Everything
about tbe room Indicated that Airs,
Hull, who was a stout, portly woman.
weighlBg fully three hundred pounds,
had made a struggle. Her gold watch
and chain, a mosaic ring on which was
a full length portrait of a dancing girl,
two solitaire diamond rings, a pair of
cameo ear-rings, and a set of amber
jc*e ry, except the buttons, were car*
ried xway. Th# greater part of these
were in a cabinet in the dining room
adjoining. On tbe top of this Cabinet
were some eighteen large pieces of sil
ver plate, which were not disturbed.
Capt. 'Williams was summoned from
tbe station house, and he, with detect
ives, made a search of the house and
questioned the inmates, but failed to
get any valuable Information.
Mrs. Hull was last seen alive on the
previoud night at 11 o’clock, when she
had been playing whist and chatting
cheerfully wbh her buffband and some
friends who had called upon them.
A colored Cook who had been in the
service of the Hulls about seven months
had been discharged about six weeks
befcffV, after a violent quarrel with Mrs^
Hull. The detectives are looking after
her, though her residence is not known.
A Bedlington terrier dog to which Mrs.
Hull W:is very much attached, had
been poisoned about three weeks be
fore the murder.
Airs. Hull was about 58 years old,-the
daughter of Lawrence DeForrest, an
old Broad street dry goods merchant.
She was married to Dr. Hull when she
was 16, and the union has apparently
always been a happy one. Not lotg
after ber marriage she visited England
with her husband and was presented
to Queen Victoria. She was then
young lady of extraordinary beauty.
She was in fate life a member of the
Sorosls club, and fot many years took
an active part fn all measures looking
to the advancement of women in the
social or rather professional scale.
She Was also fond of literature, and a

1>. T. Corbin on Judge Mackey;
I-ynCk I.arr in Mparinnburg;,
At twelve o’clock on Monday night
a body of one hundred and fifty armed
men entered Spartanburg on horse
back and proceeded to the jail where
they demanded John Moore, a prison
er committed for the outrage and mur
der of Miss Fannie Heaton, on the 5th
Inst. Sheriff Thompson, having been
warned that an attempt would be
made to lynch the prisoner, bad re
moved him to the Air Lino Railroad,
about a mile from io*n, intending to
board the northern bound train and
reach Columbia, but be bad been
watched, and before the train arrived,
the lynchers secured Aloore and took
him to tbe scene of the murder, near
Welford, twelve mile# distant, where
they hung hung hira at ten o’clock on
Tuesday. The lynchers bad given no
tice on Monday night that the hang
ing would occur at ten o'clock on Tues
day, and six hundred persons were
present. Moofe made no confession,
but maintained a stoic indifference to
tbe end.—Lexingtoff Dispatch.
Rough on John Shkiiman. —Talk
about " nepotism " under Grant; but
just make John Shertoan President of
the United States, and the true mean*
log, not only of the word but of tb#
system which It represents, will be un
derstood. it will be not nephews only
but his "sisters and bis cousins and
his aunts.” In the early period of tbe
war, while Sherman was Senator, he
got etery male relative be had on
earth placed oh the pay-roll, and when
the war was over there wasn’t one of
them among tbe killed, wounded or
missing.—St. Louie Globe-Democrat. -
In a letter received recently AIL Cor
bin answers tbe remarks of Judgtf
Mackey, as follows :
I thank you for the newspaper #lip
containing Judge Mackey’s remarks:
I bad seen them before. It is hettalnly
not pleasant fur any one to receive tb#
delkato attentions of a polecat, as ait
that can be done Is to bury your clothes,
fumigate your pefsoh and cleanse your
self bfefore ^ou can again endure your
self or society can endure you. You
will gain nothing by retaliating apod
the polecat, becaus# his stench is the
greatest of all stenches, and the less
you have to do with him the better yod
are off. Judge Mackfey is the worat
polecat I ever met. I had occaelou
once in 1869 to help kick him out of
of tbe CUy’Councll of Charleston Tot
attempting to murder one of hi# fellow-
aldermen in hie seat—while Che C>oalJ-
cll was in session be fired three shot#
at him—and he has never, ceafied sloop
then to throw his polecat stench at
me. I never pay any attention to him,
as even In South Carolina he 1# an out
law and outcast In eodety. I could
not have anything to do with him with
out belittling myself. A charge of
powder would be waited on him, as,
like tbe sickening animal I have com
pared him to, would only more
completely contaminate th? atmo
sphere around him.
Flfre Urala Crop*:
The crops of small gialo harrested
on the farms around Wionsborb this
season have been unusually flna. Of
wheat, Mr. W. B. Garrison made 270
bushels on eight acres—an average pt
33% bushel# to th# acre; Mr. G.
McAIaster gathered 39 bushels from
one acre ; Abraham Monroe, oolored,
colored, 211-2 bushels from fifths
of an aero ; and Fred. Steel*, colored,
311 2 bushels from an acre and a half.
Of oats, Mr. J. F. McMaster mads 20o
bushels from four acres, and Mr. D. R-
Flenniken 900 bushels Irom twenty
