Written lor the Ohanckuuuo dkmociIai . In the present day, a growifij*' evil Exists in the social world, which may lie termed the artol flirtation. Whence its origin, where it will end, and why is it not frowned down by the modest end dignified portion of the members of society, arc vexing problems, for a solution of which wc Vainly qhestibn dach other. It i3 often the secret cause of that unlmppiness which we see written in hard, unyielding lines on the faces of men and women. Distrust and suspicion spiing up i" all ranks of life when it is impossible t'?' repose confidence in those with WboHi inclination prompts", oV ciicum-j stanccs compel, us to associate. Next to the lime when wc I chold the un forgoltcn shores of childhood recede slowly from our sight, when we'turn to catch the smile of days ge ne by, and bedew life's caily dream with tears, the saddest hour of our lives is *<di$n wc first begin to lose faith'in human nature. Nothing is more con ducive to tl?e destruction uf its last vestiges than the studied deceit which] marks the intercourse of the youtlrol the present century. Misspent hours, lost opportunities, trilling pursuits, careless, thoughtless nets?too often make up the record of a life which, "Like a dome Qfinnny colored ghis.*. StabiH the white radiance of eternity." The t?".Ve cause of the shallow, sur face lives they lead, can be attributed to no other source than idleness ol mint!',- "rust of soul," as it has been aplly termed. No intelligent com prehension of the beauty of a fife of moral motive and responsibility, 01 of intellectual action and enterprise, disturbs their fatal self-complacency. Interested in naught but foolish phan tasies, shrinking from all intense, in vigoral'n'g efforts to attain to a high er standard of excellence?the inevit able result is a torpor of alP the far. ullics whose useful employment in snns happiness and success. Contin ued intercourse with those of the same nalutc proves "most injurious "by inducing a dry; iLill^Tiud selfish condition uf mind, inimical to breadth bfchaiact r. The mind soon learns to itin in stiitYN gioovcs, the heart glows narrow and contrneted, and the moral nature becomes weak, irreso lute, and accommodating, which i* fatal to all generous ambition or real excellence." The same author whom 1 have rfuolcd says further, iff at "the choicest thing this world contains is nfiection~':not any special variety, but the approval, the sympathy, and the devot.on of true heails." What happiness,' Ilten, can bo ex pected when every word, thought, a id deed militates against the most sacred feelings of "'true hearts?'' When affection becomes a jest, and conduct inaikcd by simplicity and truthfulnces, is considered dull and insipid? When honest intentions stand abashed by gay deceit, whose reckless followers seemingly have no aim but that of rivalling each other in acquiring a reputation for being vain and fiivolotis? Wilfully blind, I llioj' sec not the end to which they arc hastening, uiey give no thought to the cStimalioii in which they are held by others of superior mould, and remain in deplorable ignorance uf the injurious effects upon the lone of so ciety in general when the conduit of its molnbers is not characterized by that reverent, thoughtful intercourse j so essential to the mtufilemihee of or*. der and respect. Oh, lifat the}- would patfse in their thoughtless course to lc?rn that the possession of that rev erence is the greatest (harm of man or woman, that iL "tuniks Ihc noblest and highest type of character : rever ellc'e for high objects, pure Ihoughts, and noble aims?the reverence alike, indispensable to Ihc happiness of in-! dividtials, of failiilies, and of nations. Without it there can be no trust, no faith, no confidence either in man or God?neither social pence, nor social prdgi css. I j Est k m.k. A correspondent of the New York Stol writes: "A farmer had a ten gallon keg of whiskey in Iiis cellar ; he was going away lo be away ten days ; before going ho told his wife that for every day ho was away she should draw one gallon off the keg, nndpUt back oiie gallon of water; she continued this for ten days.

The Fcnco Low. ' "PortioOP EoiSTO, Nov. 2d;, 1879: Editor Ohutrjkburr) Democrat: I noticed through'' your columns sometime ago Unit you advised the* runners to plant less cotton and more groin, and make their own butter, hog and hominy at home. You were then in the right channel. Now you strike a death blow to all your good advice by advocating no fence, which will suit hut n few persons, such as I will Maine for you. It will suit a marl-that raises cotton only and dc peudsTupon the Western market for his bacon arid corn, or persons that j have accumulated wealth and invest ed it in lands who expect lo rcnl j them out, ami spends their quiet days in towns and villages. I say down with all such question, that is so damning to the interest of the people. Now to illustrate this question. Wc will say that a man has 10' head of cattle, 20 head hogs, 10 head sheep and 10 head" goats. That would be ' about the average a man owns. We j will give the above named stock Iwo j pastures of 20 acres each, and in less} than one month they would have il eaten- off as clean as the palm of your hand. Tue stock would then die for the want of food, for il would take more than a horse and 3 mules could make lo keep llicm, and the re sult would be that wo would have to abandon the idea of stock raising, and in consequence* bacon would go so high that poor people would not get enough to grease a cat's paw. I' cannot see anything else but starva tion for. the poor if this* fence law is abolished. This- question cannot bo : discussed through the public press for it would take up every column in your paper for and against it for the I next twelve year's to come, and then j the fighting material on both sides] would not have began. I say let'sf blow oil" the dogs and start a new trail*- that is not so stale. Watch. Wormnly Modesty.

If this crop was used up by factories in Ihe county it wound bring, instead of $320,000, a return of nearly $700,000.

This docs not look like a Governor chosen jof the people A Radical Love Feast, j One of the features of the Fair that lias escaped notice, was the general gmhering of the Radical clans in Co lumbia. The time was cunningly , chosen, in the expectation that this Hot king together of harpies would be unobserved in the immense crowd that visited- Columbia during Fair week. Hut their prolonged absence from Columbia makes their assem bling conspicuous". What it hey did is not known. What they ?deetved' to do every one can guess. They .are preparing for a fight in 1S8?, as des perate as any yet wituct-sed in the Slate ; ai d they hope, through the aid of Northern Republicans, the Federal government and Democratic difesen sionsy to carry South-Cat ollria for the Presidential nominee of tile Re publican party and for Radical Con gressmen. It is idle to pooh-pooh their efforts and predict a walk-over for the Democrats next year. That the Republicans expect to make a desperate light in South Carolina, Louisiana, and perhaps Mississippi, next year, is ahead}' foreshadowed in stalwart Northern newspapers. The situation can be brielly summed up. The Solid South .with New York and Indiana can elect a President. Indiana went Democratic last year by an increased uisjorky, white .(ho Republicans* gained in all the.other Stales, and carried Now York by thirty five thousand. This yea*, de spite Democratic dissensions in* New York the votes for Robinson and K* Hy combined exceeded those for Cornell by thirty-five thousand, al though Cornell was run by Conkling on the Grant platform. The Repub licans ave not Sanguine of carrying iheso two States next 3"car, and they will make the fight in the three Southern S atcs named above. They hope to carry one of the three at least. Failing in this Ihey will raise the cry of fraud, and claim that they have been counted out. A prominent Republican has already said that Grant will not be nominated unless there is fear of Democratic fraud, otherwise Blaino or Sherman will lie selected. Thia means that if the Re publicans feel ?o&ttdent of carrying New York or Xiuiriana, they will nom inate a civilian, but if uot they will select G ant, cry fraud in the South, and endeavor to steal the Presidency again. An indispensable feature of this programme is to make a close ten in South Carolina. Wo firmly believe that the gathering of the Radi cal cars in Columbia last week meant ranch more than a mere visit of pleasure. They wore taking pre liminary steps for perfecting a des perate campaign next summer. Fore warned is forearmed. If the Democ racy devote their whole time to an un seemly squabble over the loaves and lishcs, they will wake next November to find that the Radicals have slipped in and captured the feast.? \Virin& boro 2\T'V:s and Herald.
