RELIGION, MORALS ANO PHILOSOPHY. Rev. C. C. BROWN, Editor. ONE YEAR. -o A rear begun in gathered shade, From which the footsteps shrunk, afraid To tread the path by sorrow made. Bat Faith- then trimmed- her lamp anew, fiore steady shone and brighter grew its light, on the moments Sew. And Hope rekindled 'neath its rays, ?ent added light to lengthening days And waked the soo! to sweeter praise. And Love took on a lovelier grace, As witb its sorrow face to face It triumphed still in life's strong race And so the year began rn gloom, In closing finds the larger room For Faith and Hope and Love to bloom. "Who was Grandpa Talking Tor 'Mamma, who was grandpa talking to just now ?' said a little girl in the borne of a friend of mine not long ago. lu a sort of awestricken way she had been gazing upon the pale face of her dear old grandpa while he was leading io- the morning prayer. The closed eyes seemed to be looking at some one. The tears crept swiftly out from under the lids, and fell from wrinkle down to wrinkle over those aged cheeks. The white hair was thrown backward, arni the hand that rested on the old family Bible? from which be had been j reading, trembled just a little. The ! old man did not know that his little granddaughter was watching bim. When the prayer was over and the fam? ily fold' was placed for another day under the guardian care of the Shep? herd of Israel, this little lamb crept to her mothe'rs side and said, -Who was grandpa talking to just now ?" This little one had often said her prayers at night-fall, she had often heard her mother pray, but somehow God seemed to her so far away, and grandpa talked as though he was right in the room. lu the answer to that question what a chance that mother had to tell that child about the glorious privilege of prayer! What an oppor? tunity to cast an anchor that will bold in the wildest storm ! Grandpa will soon be gone. The gates are opening for him now. We can sec the gleam of his eternal triumph in bis countenance. His steps are feeble, but bis faith is that of a giant. No doubts disturb the quiet of his spirit. Every day he re? minds everybody in the family that Jesus has been in the world, and that he dwelt among us. And again we behold his glory io this his disciple. O happy home with such an alter and such a priest ! Have you no fam? ily altar in your home, reader ? I pity you from the bottom of my heart. Have you no time to pray ? You will have time enough to weep by an by over your blasted hopes. Don't blame, the church if your children go astray if the dance and the card-table and the wine-cup and theatre destroy all their | spiritual life, and make them easy vic? tims of the powers of darkness. Pray io your families. Take time to pray. Fray till you get the blessing that came to the household of Obed-edom, where dwelt the ark of the Lord.- Western Christian Advocate. Charles Kingsley's Bellet The late Charles Kingsley, the emi? nent English divine, wrote as follows to an inquirer who asked him for coun? sel: You are a sanguine man, my dear sir, who ask me to solve for you the riddle of existence, since the days of Job and Solomon, since the days of Socra? tes and Buddha ; the especial riddle, too of our time, with its increased knowl? edge of physical science. But what I seem to know I will tell you. Know? ing and believing a great deal of the j advanced physical science of Darwin's school I still can say I do not believe in the existence of law. 'Laws of nature/ 'laws impressed/ or 'properties impress? ed on matter," are to me, after careful analysis of their meaning, mere jargon. Nothing exists but will. All physical laws and phenomena are but the mani? festations of that will-one, orderly, utterly .wise, utterly benevolent, In Him, 'the Father,' I can trust, in spite cf the horrible things I see, in spite of the fact that my own prayers are not answered. I believe that He makes all things work together for the i good of the human race, and of mc, among the rest, as long as I obey His j will. I believe that He will answer my prayer, net according to the letter, but according to the spirit of it ; that if ! I desire good I shall find good, though not the good which I longed for. And law and necessity I look on as phan? toms of my own imagination, always ready to reappear, but always certain j likewise, to vanish again before one j sound blow of careful logic or of practi- j cal life. He who attempts to be perfect in all things will be weak in many, and thus fall, an unpited sacrifice to each one of those who have made themselves per-1 feet in one thing. And now out of the writings and j sayings and deeds of those who loudly ! proclaim the 'rights of man* and the 'rights of liberty/ match me, if you ' can, with one sentence so sublime, so j noble,-one that will stand at the bar of ! God hereafter-as the simple, glorious j ?antence of Paul in which he asserts j the rights of Christian conscience above the claims of Christian liberty : 'Where? fore, if meat make my brother to offend, j I will eat no flesh while the world j standeth, lest I make my brother to j offend.'- F. W. Robertson. \ I tell you, my friends, that a good newspaper is the grandest temporal ; blessing that God has given to the peo- j pie in this century. All the people j read newspapers. The old man looks j for deaths, the young look to the mar- ; riages, the stock broker looks to the j money column, the importer looks for the shipping, the philosopher looks to j the editorial, the unemployed look to ! the wants, the Christian looks all j through to see what God is doing i among the nations, and whether the ! world is really swinging around into the j light of the glorious gospel. If one should see nothing during his life in the way of literature but the Bible and Webster's Dictionary, and a good news? paper, be would be fitted for all of tba Getting Happiness. The watched pot never boils ; there are people forever in search for happi? ness, who never find it. Happiness, oftenest comes by indirection. You are intent on duty and are surprised to find you have stumbled on more than you sought. To make happiness the end of your seeking is an easy way not to find it. It is a coy blessing. Hov? ering about your path, it yet eludes your grasp. Attempt to put your hands on it and, like the wild gazelle upon the mountain, it bounds way. The search for happiness is like the search for the end of the rainbow ; it recedes as you advance. You cannot capture it After all your planning and straining after happiness, you will have to give up the pursuit and content yourself, with following the plain and plodding path of duty and to find your joy in fidelity to conscience, and in obedience to the divine will. Once in this state, happiness comes to you unsought, dropping down, as it were, from the skies, a surprising benediction in the midst of your cares and burdens, as though it would say to you. You could not capture me, but lo, lam here, and at your service. lu attaining this blessing, imitate the boatman, who, in crossing the stream, directs his prow above the point of destination, and so makes sure of it. Aim at something higher than happiness ; aim to be good holy, pure, aod true, and the higher will be sure to include the lower. Nineteenth Century. Politeness of Great Men Truly great men are polite by in? stinct to their inferiors. It is one ele? ment of their greatness to be thoughtful for others. The greatest men in the world have been noted for their polite? ness. Indeed, many have owed their greatness mainly to their popular man? ners, which induced the people whom they pleased to give them an opportu? nity to show their power. Many years ago thc errand boy em? ployed by a publishing house in a great city was sent to procure from Edward Everett the proofsheets of a book he had been examining. The boy entered the vast library, lined from floor to ceil? ing with books, in fear and trembling. He stood in awe of this famous man, and dreaded to tu eec bim. But Mr. Everett, turning from the desk where he was writing, received the lad with reassuring courtesy, bade him sit down, chatted kindly as he looked for the proof-sheets, and asked : 'Shall I put a paper round them for you ?' as politely as if his visitor were the President. The boy departed in a very comforta? ble state of mind. He had been raised in his own esteem by Mr. Everett's kindness, and he bas never forgettton the lesson it taught him. Seed Thoughts. We find fault with other's way of doing things we cannot do ourselves. A man is never so much a master of himself as when he has given himself up. All that a man gets by lying is, that he is not believed when he speaks the truth. Keep your promises to the letter, be prompt and exact, and it will save you much trouble. Pleasure and pain glide by us like shadows ; life vanishes in a moment ; it is nothing in itself-its value consists in the use of it. A brain is a very hungry thing, in? deed, and he who possesses it must con? stantly feed it by reading or think? ing, or it will shrivel up or fall asleep. Courage, patience, poor disconso? late one ! God is making a furrow in thy heart, where He will surely sow His grace. The man who has in him the ele? ments of a worker for Christ will find a field or make one. Paul when a pris? oner, made converts in Caesar's house? hold. TR?TH?TTESTED.

In order that the public maj fully realize the genuineness of the statements, as well as , the power and value of the article of which ! they speak, we publish herewith the/ac simile signatures of parties whosesincerity is beyond j question. The truth of these testimonials is absolute, nor can the facts they announce be ! ignored. I ATLANTA. Ga., March 3, ISSI. ? II. II. Warner $ Co., Rochtster, JV. Y. : ! Gentlemen-For twenty years I havesuffer j ed more or less from my bladder and Kidneys. My business for many years had required roe to travel all over the southern states. Whilst going to Texas, last fall, I saw iu a paper an I advertisement of Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure. I bought a bottle, and in less I than a week the improvement in ray health j was palpable. Since then, my general health has improved wonderfully, and I now enjoy a degree of health and strength, in every par? ticular, soch as I had not hoped it posible to enjoy again in this world-of which I am sat? isfied, under God's blessing, has been due to your remedy. y YUH, C.. OFFICE OF ORDINARY, MCSCOGEF CO., T COLUMBUS, Ga., Oct. 1, 1881. j ff. ff. Warner <y Co., Rochester, JV. Y. : Gentlemen : For eighteen months I suffered intensely with a disease of the kidneys and a torpid liver, and after trying every remedy that I could hear of, besides being under the j treatment of some of our ablest physicians, I had about given up mj-case as hopelessly in? curable, when I was prevailed upon by my wife to try your Safe Kidney and Liver Cure. I confess that I had but little faith in its merits or efficacy ,- but to my great joy and I satisfaction, after I had commenced on the J second bottle, I continued the use of the med I icine until I became completely cured. Judge court of ordinary. Thousands of equally strong endorsements i -many of them it case where hope was aban \ doned-have been voluntarily given, showing ! the remarkable power of Warner's Safe Kidney ! and Liver Cure, in all disesaes of the kidneys, liver and urinary organs. If any one who reads this bas any physical trouble, remem? ber the great danger of delay. JAS. D. BRANDING, WM. I). BANDING. BUNDING & SLANGING, A ttorneys at Law, Sumter, S. C. June 21 tf. J.?.100D, PHYSICIAN AND SURGEON, OFFICE SOUTH SIDE DUGAN bT., M TER, S.C. TUE NEWS AND COURIER-1882. THE NEWS AND COURIER, in the New Year, will have tio other object thaa to belp the people of South Carolina to manage their own affairs io their own way. To this end it will encourage the expression of intelligent opinion on subjects of general interest, and strive to be the meaD9 of laying before the whole State the views of those who have something sensi? ble to say. and know bow to say it. The News and Courier will not be a passive spectator of events. It will utter its opinions frankly and freely, but, holding that what is wise and true has nothing to fear from analy? sis and discussion, it will never st.'k to strengthen its own position by suppressing the opinions of those who boDesily differ from it. The Sews and Courier, with one exception, is the only newspaper in the South Atlantic States which receives the whole of the Sou them dispatches of the New York A-sociated Press, and this service will be supplemented by special dispatches from every part of the State and the United States. Recognizing the importance of giving the people the earliest and most accurate intelli? gence in State and National affairs, The News and Courier; will assign one of the most trus? ted and most capable members of its Staff to permanent duty at Columbia, and has sta? tioned at Washington the gentleman who earned golden opinions while on duty at the State Capital. This will be a year of ferment and possibly of change in South Carolina, and what ibe people require is to have all the news, without fear or favor, and no matter whom it helps or hurts. The Resident Correspondent of The News and Courier at Columbia will' give our readers information concerning men and things which can be obtained in no other newspaper. In like ro.mner. the Resident Correspondent of The Neus and Courier at Washington, having no other newspaper to serve and being nobody's henchman, will be in position to report impartially the progress events and the acts of public men. The great effort of The News and Courier will be to get the most news, and to get it first and in the best shape. The purpose is to make it a newspaper that no busioess roan, no planter or farmer, no person interested in I public affairs can afford to do without. IN THE STATE The News and Courier will j advocate honesty, justice and economy, and will insist that merit and capacity shall be the I prime tests in selecting candidates for public office. ! Particular attention will be paid to the I wants of the farmers and planters, and The News and Courier, which formulated, more than ten years ago, a great economic truth io ! the phrase "Dring the .Mills to the Cotton" j will persevere in demonstrating the advan j tages and profits of manufacturing, of which South Carolina already furnishes many strik I ing examples. The utilization of the phos i phate deposits will claim our special care, with the view of obtaining the largest public benefits from the common inheritance of the people. Thc News and Courier will, indeed, be always active in disseminating the knowl? edge of improved processes in agriculture and manufactures, and will spare no pains in pointing out the means of turning to good ac? count the undeveloped as well as the active resources of the State. Believing that the public school is the cradle of an enduring Republic, and that popular education is the only permanent protection against demagogisra, The News and Courier will always advocate the largest appropria? tions for educational purposes that the public can bear. IN NATIONAL AFFAIRS The News and Courier will advocate Honest Money: the re? striction of the coinage of silver to the measure of the public demands for use as cur? rency; the reform of the Civil Service through the Pendleton bill or any similar measure; the revision of the tariff for the relief of the people, and particularly of the agricultural classes; the abolition of the taxes on bauk checks, bank deposits and capital and on patent medi? cines, and the retention of the duties on whiskey and tobacco in preference to the maintenance of the present tariff on imports; the regulation of Inter-State commerce by tbe National Government, so as to deprive rail? road corporations and combinations of the power to injure and oppress the people; free ships; public improvements by the National Government for National purposes; the ap? plication of surplus revenue to the reduction of taxation, instead of the headlong extinction of the public debt, and, above all, liberal ap? propriations by tbe National Government for the education of the illiterate voters who were imposed upon the country by the act of the government and who are a perpetual menace to free institutions and honest rule. TN STATE AND NATIONAL AFFAIRS The News and Courier will uphold the rights of the Stales within their own spheres, under tbe Constitution as it is, and the supremacy of the National Government in National affairs. And the News and Courier will de? vote its'.-lf to strengthening good feeling, good will and mutual confidence between the people of the several States and between the States aud the National Government. The Sunday News will retain its social and literary character, in connection with all the news of the day, and the discussion of borne subjects of local import and application will be continued. Hereafter none of the news published in The Sunday News will be pub? lished in The News and Courier. THE TRI-WEEKLY edition of the News and Courier will he issued as before, giving the reader the news contained in The News and Courier, with slight exceptions, at one half the price. THE WEEKLY NEWS will be greatly im? proved. The Chess column and the Agricul? tural department will be continued, Puzzles and Problems for young and old will be a permanent feature, beginning with the New Year; and in a few weeks we shall begin the publication of "Ten Terrible Tales" by an English author of established reputation. Arrangements have been made likewise for a S?riai Story by a South Carolina author whose works have attained great popularity in Northern periodicals. There :s not anywhere in tbeSoutha better advertising medium than the News and Cou? rier, and in South Carolina it has the adver? tising field, outside of the influential weekly press in the country, virtually to itself. It goes into every part of South Carolina and of the United States, and has reached a com? manding position with the reading public.

Ague Cure Is a purely vegetable bitter and power? ful tonic, and is warranted a speedy and certain cure for Fever and Ague, Chills and Fever, Intermittent or Chill Fe? ver, Remittent Fever, Dumb Ague, Periodical or Bilious Fever, and all malarial disorders. In miasmatic dis? tricts, the rapid pulse, coated tongue, thirst, lassitude, loss of appetite, pain in tho back and loins, and coldness of the spine and extremities, are only premonitions of severer symptoms, which terminate in tho ague paroxysm, succeeded by high fever and profuse perspiration. It is a startling fact, that quinine, arse- I nie and other poisonous minerals, form the j basis of most of the "Fever and Ague Preparations," "Specifics," "Syrups," aud "Tonics," in the market. The prepara? tions made from, these mineral poisons, although they are palatable, and may break the chill, do not cure, but leave the malarial and their own drug poison in the system, producing quinism, dizziness, ringing in the ears, headache, vertigo, and other disorders more formidable than tho disease they were intended to cure. AYEK'S AGUE CURE thoroughly eradicates these noxious poisons from the system, aud always cures tho severest cases. It contains no quinine, mineral, or any thing that could injure the most delicate pa? tient; and its crowning excellence, above its certainty to cure, is that it leaves the system as free from disease as before the attack. For Liver Complaints, ATER'S AG?E CURE, by direct action on the liver and biliary apparatus, drives out the poisons which produce these complaints, and stim? ulates the system to a vigorous, healthy condition.
