State, an old man, eighty-four years of age, distracted with grief on account of being separated from his little grand-child, attempted suicide by stabbing himself with a knife. Bleeding from several wounds and almost in a dying condition, he gave the keeper of the poor-house a dollar for the child as a last token of his love. In reading the day's history of a I I (busy world crowded into the columus of a newspaper, few, doubtless, gave more than a casual glance at the brief paragraph in which was comprehended^ life's tragedy. Poor, friendless and alone, a bit of driftwood stranded on the shores of time, there is much in this old man's . plight to move the heart to pity. In his foar-score years he had outlived all his friends and associates and with frenzied despair, clung to the little grand-child, probably the only hnman being in the gree t world ' who cared whether he lived or died.

We jdo not believe that the world Is devoid of sjmpathy and charity. There are men and women, thousands of them, who never turn a deaf ear to suffering humanity. What seems to be a lack of charity In most cases arises from carelessness or thoughtlessness. We are prone to overlook the suffering poor ?at our doors and give aid to l?-ss deserving charities at a distance, simply because the latter have been brought more forcibly to our attention. The case cited here is not an extreme one. 111 every community ; there may be fonod similar instances . of neglect if we but look for them.

Mr li E Tarte, one of our prominent truck farmers, visited Lake City Tuesday. The Easter egg-hunt given at liethesda last Saturday was a decided success, being attended by over ti hundred children. This was quite an enjoyable occasion for the little., folks, as well as for the older ones., The funds which were raised will be | applied to missions. The young men and the "fair sex" pleasantly spent the afternoon in social chat? fnr sit f b.-rc wmh :i few who 're ported other pleasures than the "egg 1 hunt." In response to an invitation given by Mr Bartow Smith, four of our townsfolk attended a fish-fry at! Mouzon's bridge l.\st Friday evening. Notwithstanding the fact that there was quite a storm of rain dur*. iug the first part of the night the^ fishermen reported a delightful time and an abundant supply of shad and other fish, which were prepared as only BlacK river fishermen can prepare them. They speak very highly of the eutertainment provided by Mr Smith and others and express their willingness to go again. One of the party said he was apprehensive of "the pine bark stew" but tasting was convincing, and as for "them taters", they were more than good. Mr Editor, if they had not caught any fish there would have been some excuse for eating potatoes, j but under the circumstances it seems to me that "Norton yams" should have been altogether out of taste.

Ail drugput THE FAMOUS AZALEA GARDENS. Pen Picture ot One of Nature's Most Beauteous Spots. Editor Connty Record: During a recent visit to the famous Azalea Gardens on the Ashley, we became so much impressed with the attractions of that beautiful and interesting spot that we are prompted to acquaint some of your readers with the novelty and opportunity1 of viewing i>ature]iu one of its grand-1 est forms, which this little outing atiords. To those who have*never visited the ''Magnolia Gardens," us 1 thev are sometimes c ailed, there lies in store for them a chance to visit j oue of the loveliest and most inter- j esting places in the South. The ^ fact of its being situated so near us and of its being -:o easy of access, insures an opportunity to all of , spending a few hours amid scenes of | 1 nature, which afford memories and; , inspirations for a life-time. The trip proved to be one of va-: ried interest ?rom beginning to end; for having viewed the grandeur and wonders of other places of world- i : wide fame it is satisfactory Jand in-! teresting to feel that such a paradise of scenery is so. near to lis. We \ were so fortunate as to have been | favored with bright, clear weather ' ou the afternoon which w* selected for the trip,and with eager anticipa- ^ tion we left the city at three o'clock ; ; Friday afternoon, boarded the lit tie.boat, which makes its daily trips thronged with enthusiastic tourists,, who are lavish in theii praises of ! Magnolia on the Ashley. Glai to leave the busy hum, the, dust and bustle of the city, the 1 Northern tourists become enthused j i with the noveltv of the refreshing little trip on the water. The vision 1 the scenes up the Ashley river is so impressive that it lingers in the memory. As we neared the Jgpdens, imagiue the enthusiastic sensations which th* scenes liefore us must have caused! Picturesque in the extreme are the glimpses of the moss-cove red oaks, the cypresses, the pines, and the inaivellous variegation of the azaleas. Looming up in the distance is Drayton Hall, which was he home of theformei owner of the gardens. As one ascends the steps leading to the grounds, he experiences at once a feeling of rest, and appreciation for the beauties and j i r L .... ! wonuers oi nature wijiuii arc re-1 vealed to him. The farther we pern"rated into! the interior of 'the grounds, the keener became our expectancy and desire to tramp every one of the wonderful little walks, which form a regular labyrinth of intricate windings, bordered by the glorious azaleas, which, in many places, cluster in almost innumeiable blossoms of every color of the rainbow. Bowers of fragrance are on even tdde, and the crimson japonica is in ^idence, lending its richness of led 1 and gieen to the ever changing view. What a picture is presented to the beholder, as he winds in and out the walks, exquisite glimpses of the lavish splendor of the azalea, which is during the month of April in the! zenith of its beauty and glory, permeating the fresh air with its fragrance. ^ Various kinds of green shrubbery lend their charm and richness toj? the scene, and the grand old oaks, | the nlacid lakes, in whose waters are n 4 : j reflected the colors of the flo'ers ? around, and the clear, blue sky if above, little rustic bridges, and the j c happy song and chirp of the birds v surpass the scope of imagination. ^ Like all nature,it must le seen to be j appreciated. ^ J As wegaze^l u|K)ii the lovely view,we r could feel that sight of earthly glory ! 1 melting our imaginations to Diviner J glory. Anot her point of interest is the beautiful home of the Hasties, the present owners of the < at dens. The soft, green lawn, where sheep and, cattle graze, and the honeysuckle climbing in profusion, make it a picture of enchantment, especially at sunset. When the hour ^ came to leave, we w?-ie prompted to j* sing with the poet: i "Who can paint like nature? Can I imagination boast amid its gay cre.i- ?j tions, scenes like these?" r!
