Rev. Gabe Tucker’* Remark*
You iu»y notch it on de palin’* as
mighty rcsky plan
To make your judgment by de clo’es
dat kivers up a man;
for 1 hardly needs to tell you how you
often come across
^ fjfty-dollar saddle on a twenty-dol
lar boss;
wukin’ in de low groun’s, you dis
kiver, as you go,
pat ,> fines’ shuck may hide de
meanes' nubbin in a row.
I think a man has got a mighty slender
chance for heben
Pst holds on to his piety but one day
out o’seben;
Pat talks about do sinners wid a heap
o'solemn chat,
And nebber drups a nickle in de mis
sionary bat;
Pat's foremost in de meetin’-bouse for
raisin’ all de chimes,
Hut lays aside his ’ligion wid his Hun-
dav pantaloons.
I neblier judge' o’people dat I meets
along de way
Hv de places whar de come fum an’
de houses whar dey stay;
for de bantam chicken’s awful fond
o'roostin' nretty high,
An’ de turkey-buzzard sails above de
eagle in de sky;
Pev ketches little miuners in de middle
* ‘ of de sea,
An' you finds de smalles' possum up de
biggest kind o'tree!
—Scribner.
We Can Do With So Little.
A little work, a little play
To keep us going—and so good-day!
A little warmth, a little light
Of love's bestowing—and ao good-night!
A little fun to match the sorrow
Of each day’s g.owing— and to good-
morrow!
A little trust that when we die
We rrnp our sowinar! And so-god-by!
[George du Maurier.
Budge's Version of The Flood.
That afternoon I devoted to making
ahomiuetfor Miss Mayton, and a
most delightful occupation I found it.
It was no florist's bouquet, composed
of only a few kinds of flowers, wired
upon sticks, and arranged according
to geometric pattern. I used many a
rare flower, too shy of bloom to re
commend itself to florists; I combined
tints almost as numeieous as the
flowers were, and perfumes to which
ei*y bouquets are utter strangers.
At length it was finished, but my
delight suddenly became clauded by
the dreadful thought, “What will peo
ple say?” Ah! I had it. I had seen
in one of the library-drawers a small
pasteboard boa, shaped like a band
box; doubtless that would hold it. I
found the boa; it was just the size I
neoeded. I dropped my card into the
bottom—no danger of a lady not flud-
ind the card accompanying a gift of
flowers—neatly fitted the bouquet in
the centre of the boa, and went in
search of Mike. He winked cheer-
ingty as I explained the nature of his
errand, and he whispered:
"I'll do it as clane as a whistle, yer
honor. Mistress Clarkson's cook an’
mesilf understand each other, an’ I’m
used to goin‘ up the back way. Niver
a man will see but the angels, an'
won't tell."
••Very well. Mike; here’s a dollar for
you; you'll find the boa on the hat-
rack, in the hall."
Toddie disappeared somewhere
after supper, and came back very
disconsolate.
“Can’t find my dolly's k'adle," be
whined.
"Never mind, old pet." said I.sooth
ingly. “Uncle will ride you on his
foot."
"Hut I want n.y dolly’s k'adle,"
said lie, piteously rolling out his
lower lip.
“Don't you want me to tell you a
story'/"
For a moment Toddie’s face indicat
ed a terrible internal conflict between
old Adam and mother Eve; but curi
osity finally overpowered natural de
pravity. and Toddie murmured.
"Yesh,"
“What shall I tell you about?"
' Hoot Nawiideark."
“About what?”
"He means Noah an' de ark," ex
claimed Budge.
"Datsh what I shay—Nawndeark,”
declared Toddie.
"Well, said I, hastily refreshing my
lueuioi y by picking up the Bible—for
Helen, like most people, is pretty
sure to toriret to paek her Bible when
site runs away from home for a few
days—“well, once it rained forty days
and nights, and everybody was drown
ed from the fane of the earth except
ing Noah, a righteous man, who was
saved with all his family in an ark
wliieh the Lord commanded him to
biidd."
"Uncle Harry,” said Budge, after
contemplating me with oiien eyes and
month for at least two minutes afte
1 bad finished, "do you think that's
Noah?"
“ Vrtaiuly, Budge; here’s the whole
story in the Bible."
"Well, 1 don’t think it's Noah one
single bit," said he, with emphasis.
“I think we must read different
Rib'es, Budge; hut let’s hear your
Version."
“Huh?''
"Tell me about Noah, if you know
lo much about him "
“l w ill if you want me to. Once
the Lord felt so uncomfortable cos
folks was bad that he was sorry he
ever made anybody, or any world or
anything. But Noah wasn’t bad;
Hie Lord liked him first-rate, so he
tol | Noah to build a big ark, and
Hi n the Lord would make it rain*
*o e v e r y t) o d y should be
thewned but Noah an’ hla litti*
boy* an’ girl*, ttn - doggie* an ,
puaaies an’ mamua-cowa an’ little-
boy-cows an’ little girl cows an’ hoaaea
•n’ everything; they’d go in the ark
an’ wouldn’t get wetted a bit when it
rained. An’ Noah took lot* of thing*
to eat in the ark—cookiea an’ milk
an’ oatmeal an’ strawberriea an’ por-
gies an’ -oh!, yea;.an’ plum-puddin'a
an’ pumpkin pies. But Noah didn’t
want everybody to get drowned, ao he
talked to folks an’said,‘It’a gotn’ to
rain awful pretty soon; you’d better
be good, an’ then the Lord’ll let you
eome into my ark.’ An’ they jua’
aaid, ‘Oh! if it rain* we'll go in the
houae till it stop*;’ an’ other folk*
said, ’We ain't afraid of rain; we’ve
got an umbrella. An’aome moie said
they wasn’t goln’ to be afraid of just
a rain. But It did rain though, am
folks went in their houses, an’ the
water came in, an’ they went up
stair*, an the water came up there,
au, they got on the op of the houaes,
an up in big trees, an’ up it, moun
tains, an’ the water went after them
everywhere an’ drowned everybody,
only just except Noah an’ the people
in the ark. An’it rained forty days
an’ nights, an’ then it stopped, an.
Noah got out of the ark, an’ he an’
his little boys an’ girls went wher
ever they wanted^©, an’ everything
in the world was all theirs; there
wasn’t anybody to tell ’em to go home,
nor no kindergarten schools to go to,
nor no bad boys to fight ’em, nor
nothin’ Now tell us 'nother story.*’
An. I want my dolly’s k’adle
Ocken Hawwy, I wants my dolly’s
k’adle, tause my dolly’s in it, an’ I
wan to shee her,” interrupted Toddie
Just then came a knock at the
door. ‘•Come in!’’ I shouted.
In stepped Mike, with an air of the
greatest secrecy, handad me a letter
and the indentical box in which I
had sent the flowers to Miss Mayton.
What could it mean? I hastily open
ed the envelope, and at the same
time Toddie shrieked:
"Oh! darsh my dolly’s k'adle—dere
tizh!” snatched and opened the box,
and displayed—his doll! My heart
sickened, and did not regain its
strength during the perusal of the
following note:
"Miss Mayton herewith return* to
Mr. Burton the package which just
arrived, with hig card. She recog
nizes the contents as a portion of the
apparent property of one of Mr. Bur
ton’s nephews, but is unable to un
derstand why it should have been
sent to her.
“June 20, 1875.”
“Toddie,” I roared, as my younger
nephew carressed his loathsome doll,
and murmured endearing words to it,
“where did you get that box?”
“On the hat-wack,” replied the
youth, with perfect fearlessness. “I
keeps it in ze book-case djawer, an’
somebody took it 'way and put nasty
ole’ flowers in it."
"Where are those flowers?" I de
manded.
Toddie looked up with conslderabl*
surprise, but promptly replied:
“I freed’ em away—don't want no
ole flowers in my dolly’s k’adle.
That’s ze way she wocks—see.

The Poverty of the Slate.
The J’ost observes with plea
sure that Wofford college has
opened with a larger attendance
than ever.
Converse college has 400 stu
dents, largest number in its his
tory.
The Winthrop College at Rock
Hill has matriculated 400.
The South Carolina College
has 200 students.
The attendance at Furman is
increased
And also at Newberry college.
Both the female colleges at
Columbia are prosperous.
The college at Clinton appears
to be doing well.
Erskine college at Due West
is reported to be enjoying the
greatest prosperity—more stu
dents than ever.
The female achools at Due
West, Greenville and William-
ston have no complaints to en
ter.
The Citadel and the College
of Charleston are prosperous.
More thau 300 boys are at
Clemson.
More boys and girls in South
Carolina are to-day receiving
the benefits of collegiate train
ing than at any period hereto
fore. The increase over last
year, if the newspaper reports
are accurate, is very consider
able. The probability is that
the percentage of college stu
dents in this state is higher
than in any past year.
Nevertheless, it is to be borne
in mind always that the state is
in the grip of the money power,
that the plutocrats have the
people by the throat and that
calamity and distress prevail as
the effect of the gold standard.
It takes money to send a boy
or girl to college.
The gold standard has wrought
ruin and desolation so the sil-
verities insist.
The colleges should close. As
long as they are open the) are
a menace to W. J. Bryan and
the "popocrats.’’ — Charleston
