"Little Dorrit"?is more oathetic
than
that suggested by a despatch to
one of the daily papers recently, telling
how an mmatejof the poor-house
in oue of the upper counties of this
!
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.

spectacle would stir the depths of
|ff humau pity, or painted in a picture
it might bring tears to the eyes of
the beholder; bnt in real life such
tights are so common-place that ye
pass them by, like the blind beggar
on the street, almost unnoticed.
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.
I Let us all heed the lessou co itained
In the pitiful story of chis poor old
man.

In response to an invitation given
by Mr Bartow Smith, four of our

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.

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!
