THE .STOCK LAW. In the List number of the Kdgc fteld Aifirrtisri' Ceti. M W. Gary gives his opinion on the question of extending the provision of the stock ! law to Fdgetield County in answer to a note addressed to him by thirty seven citizens of the county. No says that the lands of this State originally belonged to the Slate, and were by degroes granted to the eitb /.eus of the State. For years there wore thousands of acres known as; "public hinds," which furnished :i common range for the stock of every citizen. Now there sue no public lands and the products of the soil have changed, the small fields have changed and commons for pasturage are unknown. I know of no lav.- that gives the owner of stock the right to pasture them upon the land ni his neighbor, and ho is liable under an old statute to an action for damages for trespass of stock. 'Then the stock owner has no right to complain if his neighbors claim exclusive right to pasturage upon their lands. As there is no law or equity in the claim of the stuck owner, I propose next to consider the proposed ohauge in the law from an economical standpoint. The first thing to ascertain is: \V hat is the value of the stock in this Slate? The second is: What is the rest of the fencing of the State? By reference to the statistics id I ST I, of the agricultural department (?f the General Government, the value of our stock ia $2,401,282. The cost of fencing is $21,1 .'10,878. These ligures disclose the astounding fact that we expend more than ten dol lars in building fences to keep out one dollar's worth of stock. It is evident that the custom, as it now exists, is in favor of the owner of ?stock, and puts at a disadvantage die land owner, the tenter and the laborer, in the ratio of ten dollars to the dollar. An.1, it must no! be for gotten that this is a cotton growing State, and that stock raising is only in incident in our agricultural pur suits. The present system of labor makes the adoption of the stock law an agricultural necessity. It is a notorious fact that the average value of our land per acre will not reach four dollars, as is evidenced by our various public sales of land. The! ... cost of building the fem e is morel thai) the market value of the land, and t here is a wide spread dispoM-j tiou on the pari of the freedmen to ditrk the splitting of rails. There are but few moss fences in our best organized farms; and plantations, as a general rule, only have an outside fence, and it not strong enough to ceep the stock out of our Heids. Stock that is not kept under fence usually -appears when turned out at large. ?lf-prcservatto:i is the lirst law of iiu;ttrc, and itie tillers of the soil will kill stock before tiny will lose their crops, upon which .< pchds the sup port of themselves, their wives and children. And enlightened public opinion will not blame them for it. (Jen. Gary says that he did not press ibis mailer while he was in the Senate because he thought it was best 0 wait until Newberry, Aikeu and Lexington were ready t<> adopt the law, and so save the expense of build ing a line fence bei ween the counties. Gen. Slccdmau, of Ohio, recently visited Gen. Hancock and .M r. Tilden, rite former wouldn't talk about poli tics til all. and the latter declared ho had retired from the held of political 1 ho..ght and acti vity forever ? mil, he said, as Horatio Seymour retired in 1808, but permanently. Win n Gen; Steedman ventured to remark that perhaps the Democrats would want him in 1881, .Mr. Tilden with a mournful air and a husky whisper replied, "Top lale! too late!" John C. Calhouu, a grandson of the great South Carolina Senator and an inmate of the Insane Asylum at Stockton, Gal., was drowned on Saturday in the vicinity of San Francisco. A GOOD'Ol.l) MAN. "You sco, my- children," he said, as it litt If group huddled around hi in, "there is no habit that you cannot rid yourself of if you nre resolved. Now, in my early youth I was n sail or, and contracted the popular hahit of swearing at everything and uoth ing. Without provocation I would nittlc otl' a string of oaths and vio late the commandment a hundred times n day. When I left the sea my mother's early teaching returned to nie; and 1 mentally resolved ti nt I would never swear again. That was forty years ago, and I have never violated the promise? 1 made myself. Some of you have little habits which yon can easily rid your self of; promise use now, my dearies, that yon will call up your worst ha hit and drop it to-night." The promises were readily givou and then came calls for a story. It was his hahit to supplement his lit tle lecture by stories. " Tell us a story of the sea." lisped a little voice. The. old man smiled, and picked up ji conch from the htnrlh. "Well, little beauty, I will let the shell tell it." lie placed it to his ear, closed his eyes, and said: "Hark! I hear the sea. It is the Meditersueun, and before me is a ship plunging upon the stormy waves. The crew are huddled about in terror, and tin* vessel plunges along in the lightingrout, with no hand at the helm. Hut there is one form thai trembles not. It stauds at the bow with upturned face, gazing into the heavens." "Oh, that's Paul, I, know," ex claimed a childish voice. "Right again, my child. Inspired by a divine faith, he stands unmoved in the Viight; ru either fear nor pain cau move him. lit is u true man, uutl?" The old man paused; and the shell dropped from his hand, and a look of startled inquiry citntc over his lace. He sprung to his feet ami danced a cancan in the room; he citllc i ou his patron -aintand swore ti string of oaths thirteen feet long as he rent the j aii with discordsn shrieks, the women screamed; the, chrildren cried; the police -.cntiic, a ml four neighbors at last hore him to .he lluor and sat upon him, while another removed with a pair compasses a bug from hi.- car.

Many doubtless remomher the style which obtained among Indies sonic years since, of gathering their hair together and piling it iu a sta tionury mound 0T1 the upper portion oftlie head by the aid of .sundry little steel instruments. While this fash ion w as in vogue, an orthodox clergy man of a certain village, regardiug it as an abomination, was dtermined to use his inliuciicc against it and "preach it down." Accordingly, one Sabbath morning, he 1110111*.ted his! pulpit, and gave out his text, " Top not come down;" ami in short ti e congregation were much "exercised.' because the worthy pastor had preached from a text not to he loud I in the Scriptures.' Oij Tuesday they called him before a convocation of the saints lor the purpose of making a formal charge against him from his cure. The charge was made, and he was asked if he had aught to say ill reply. He mildly remarked that the text was to be found in the Bible; 1111(1 that if they would hand him out he would point out its location and read it to them. A Bible was given him, and he turned slowly to the place and read: "And let those upon tl e housetop not come down!"

A New Jersey merchant met un old acquaintance ou u streetcar on the Elevated yesterday, and alter some general remarks, the latter said." "1 saw a newspaper no'.ice that you had failed." "Yes, I went by the board." "Very bad?" "Ye*, pretty bad." "Outside speculation, I suppose?" "Partly." "Creditors willing to give you n ! chance to recover?" "Clad of it; I suppose you II sou be all rightV" ? Yes; I tell you what, it is a very J disagreeable business. I had to plead j family extravagance, and my wife, j who hadn't had a new dress for six months, was as mad as hop. I prov ed that 1 had given too much to the church, and the minister called und raked me over the coals; I had a clerk abscond with u.lot of cash, and the creditors made me own up th-.t he was my brother. I supposed that I hud lost $?00 by a lire, but they figur ed that I was a hundred ahead. I ligured on having enough to pay thirty cents on the dollar, but some how they got hold of of enough to pay ninety-eight, and put nil the erst on me. I lost four weeks of trade on the top of this, and I'm feeling awful blue. It hardly pays to fail ? unless you've got a partner to help to bill If creditors."?Wall Street *\Vim. STICK TO IT AN SUCCEED. Perseverance is the main thing iu life. To hold on and holdout to the end is the chief matter. If the race could be won by a spurt, thousands I would wear the blue ribbon; but they are short winded, and pull up after the first gtdlop. They begin with living, and end with crawling back ward. When it comes to the collar '| work, many take to jibing.

A writer in Scribner's Magazine asserts that the farmer, having the most sane ami natural occupation, ought to fiud life pleasant. lie alone strictly speaking, has a home. How can a man take root and thrive with out laud? He writes his history upoa his field. How many tics, how many resources he has; his friendship with his cattle, his team, his dog. his trees; the satisfaction in his growing crops in his improved fields; his intimacy with nature, with bird and beast, and with the quickening elemental force; his co-operation with the eh uds, sun season, heat, wind, rain, and frost. Nothing will take the various social distempers which the city and artifi cial life breed, out of a man, like fann ing? like direct and loving contact with the soil. It draws out the poi son.
