.-r-_ _ TUESDAY, OCTOBER 19. LOOK OT. Look up ! the world is wide. On land and sea, On ship or shore, there is no rust, no rest ; A heart throbs outward from each human breast, And moves it onward to its destiny. What if i t's hidden doom must end in death ? ? Why, \ meet it bravely, with the honest ihougbt : j 'fe * OTno good deed undone, no rain wrought,' To kill the hope that soothes a dying breast. He who would soar from.darkness into iigbt, And, like lear i , mount on waxen wings, Will never reach and touch the golden . springs . That open the gates which close upon the night.' * Who rises, fitting others np with him, Is strong indeed. Within his call or reach Are hands thai aid him-hearts that help .. him teack What he has learned himself, and taught to them. . . - 'f..y We build oar thoughts like mountains to the * clouds, The mystery of oar being still unsolved. .

R?VU(*1!OBS rf Potter's Bald. / . HUMBER XT.. While she thus spake so pleadingly to them they weat into the middle of the room and spoke in a whisper to each other. The Captain then came to me. p. Hts manner from that of a raf? "fian before, was now changed into that of a friend, -and Jie said very calmly, ?yea ought sir, to be in bed, and if you'll permit it, I'll assist you.' (His words.) ? asked 'what time of night ts it V The cigar fellow went to the candle and look? ed at his elegant chronometer and re? plied in very deliberate tones, 'q-u-a-r t-e-r p-a-s-t e-l-e-v-e-n o'c-l-o-c-k.' With a deep sigh I said, 'I thought it was *3ay light.' 1 indicated to the Cap? tain that I would need his help to reach j mjy bed. " He came "to "my help and I j leaned forward to get op. He assisted n& to ^my-feet, and, whether! I was lighter than he thought or whether be was so strong I don't know, but I found myself oh my head in bed before I had .taken a step. It was rough handling, fortunately I did not fall upon the babe. The results might have been serions if I had. Mrs. -- asked, 'Are yon satisfied that there are no treasures in this house V The one .who- threw me into bed said, ?seeing is believing, we have not believed any of your state? ments.' It was such a relief to be permitted to lie down ; but they were not through. ' The cigar fellow called attention to the trunks in the room/ and stooping over Jose of them, asked, 'what's, in2 that trun*? Mrs. " replied, 'that's my sainted daughter's trunk, and it has her cloth? ing, ber play things, and books. Please don't trouble it.' The Spaniard fellow took hold of the handle, and gave it short, quick jerks. The bulky portion of tts contents, in these jerks could be distinctly felt, and he called, "Captain, 5^yhere, I have found it, F. Eave found t<ifc? whWeare the keys?' - *It is not locked.' On opening it they found it as had been told them. They turned to another at the foot of ^iny bedl I said to them, there is noth? ing of any valee~to> you ta that trunk ; you'll find ya tin case containing my parchments ; they can' be of no use to yon. (With my parchments was Mr. Calhoun's last speech.) They soon had it in their hands. x The eover had been beet^and it was* no^easy matter (as it iff now) to get it off/ They poll? ed ans worked hard to get the cover off, and then they threw it down tn the trunk with not a very pretty word, as they turned away to another trunk par* tialfy nuder the bed. They asked, ' what is that Y my name/ i 'BuVthe other, theR-e-v?' 'That tells you ? am a nnnister of the Gospel/ I ? 'A m-i-n-i-s-t-e-r of the Gospel,* one of them sneeringly repeated. 'We want a map of tim country/ | I said, *I don't think I have a map of the United States in the house.' .We don?t mean j>f thettf.'S. but of your d- Confederacy j* Thej^ridicuied and sneered a great deal ait my being a 'minister of the Gospel,' and yet so ig? norant as not to have a map of my . country. They tomed to leave os but they were evidently net satisfied and they were muttering and talking to themselves as they were leaving the room. They stopped at the ? door and said something to the negro soldiers in the other room. Some how we both felt that perhaps new troubles were coming, and Mrs.- said to the one ? they called Captain, 'you are not par * ""posing to trouble us any more ? You must be satisfied that there is no treas? ure in the house; my husband is very feeble, as you see/ At this the three stopped, and the one they called Cap * tain, took a step or two back into the room and standing near my bed, said in harsh and boisterous language, 'Do you call this trouble? Do you? You don't know what trouble is. This is only the beginning of your trouble. You and your d- State of South Caro? lina are to drink the dregs.* Continu? ing, he said, 'I am sorry for that infant there, but/ looking fiercely at us he said, bitterly, 'the lowest place in h is too good a place for you.' The three then left the room, followed by the ne? gro soldiers down the front steps. It was now about 3 o'clock Sunday morning, (April Otb, 1865.) when a loud knocking was heard^at the back door. , It startled us for these were the first knocks heard from that part of the bouse. Tue message came that it was assister of our hired servant, C. She went at once to her, bat it was her brother-in-law, a corporal, with several ether black soldiers with him. They all came into my room, for C. would not leave our presence, nor did she the whole time these creatures were around. He told her she had to go with him She began to cry and said. *I don't want to go. I is hired for dis year to Mrs.-. I ain't gwine a foot. No. I ain't. 'Dat don't make no difference, you got to go wid us.' Turning to us, crying, she said, 'Massa, da tell me, if I go wld dem Til see my daddy/ At ibis ho railed out on her and said, -you, you call him master?! Why, you is freer dan he is. Don't you call him master, d- you.' Said I, C., you told me your father had gone from Walterboro with Gen. Sherman, in February, and this is April. You'll never see him, for these people are going lo be scattered to the four winds.' This enraged bim and he sprang to the side of my bed? and in his jump Be let his ponderous musket fall upon the floor, making a horrible ugly noise, and said, pushing his fist into my face, -scattered ! scattered! This army will never be scattered", d- you * Said I, .there is no use for any of this profan? ity. I did not mean your army would be scattered, but these people who are following your army. If this army, C. were to meet any soldiers between here and Sumter, what would you do? Your brother-in-law could not help you. Of course you can go if you choose to do so.' 'She's got to go, that's the whole of it. Come, get ready. Wheres your things.' -She had several little matters which we gave her to take care of and she did ; not know how to contrive them to us. I But she cunningly slipped them into ' L.'B (the servant of ours) hands, and we did not loose them. She did go, though leaving her box and blanket and all ber best clothing, which others stole. We have never heard of C. since that night. It is likely that with the many others who left with this army they were scattered. It was before day dawn that two white youths with their guns and knap? sacks and their caps lettered, came into my room, from the frontdoor. They looked worn and wearied. They asked j in subdued tones if we could give them some molasses or something sweet, and, ! rattling the money in their pockets, said, -Mr.-, we have the gold to pay you for it.' I told them there was some sorghum in the closet ina jug which they were very welcome to, if they'd go and find it in the next room *We don't want to take all you have. If you could give ns some in a bottle. We couldn't carry a jug. I told th?m I had no bottle, that they were scarce with us. I felt very sorry for them and asked- 'where are you from V They said, 'we are brothers, from illinois.' I asked, 'when have you seen your parents?' They answered, 'We have not seen our mother ia three -years. She is 3 widow. We were drafted, sir.' Their manner and behavior was in great contrast to that of all the negro soldiers who were in our house. They looked like twin brothers to us. We eagerly looked for the streaks of , early day which had not yet appeared. 1 We hoped then we would be delivered from the intrusions of these creatures. ! They had bad possession, I may say, of my house the entire night. ? negro ? soldier (a sergeant, I took him to be, 1 from his chevrons) with an iron scab- ( bard dangling at his side, came dashing j into my room. His appearance was as i if he had run several miles. He panted . for breath. He was in a desperate , hurry, apparently exhausted. I under- j stood bim to say that General Potter had sent him 'for de pistol which is at * de head of yuner bed.' I was in that , fatigued condition of mind and body as ] not to feel interested in anything, and I heard with the greatest indifference all j he said. I looked at him as be stood \ before me panting for breath*. He was i very black and very rude. I asked 1 'What's it?' I 'Why de ptstol nuder yuner head, j De General hab sent me for um.' . General Potter never spoke to you in 1 this life, and I doubt if he ever does in ] the world to come. I have no pistol, < and Gen. Potter has not sent you.' < 'But you bab doe. It is under yuner ; head. I is come for um. I has de au- ! tority, shaking his sword scabbard.' a Said I, *I never owned a pistol. 1 What use have I for a pistol ? I don't know h>w to load a pistol. I wish you would go away and not trouble me in < this way.' 'Well de General hab sent me for < um. It is uod?r yuner head, and if : you don't gee it to me Hi burn yuner house up.' ] 'What! burn up the house for a ? pistol?' .Ifca, I ain't gwine away widout um. Oat's all I bab to say bout it.' *Well, go ahead ; burn away.' 'Den take de child out of de bed, for I is gwine to set it on fire.' Said T, 'go ahead; we can't move j the babe, we'll all be burnt up together. , Begio your work, bring in your fire.' .?ou are a d- fool. Ain't you gwine to git up ? Is you gwine to be burnt up ?' 'Yes, I have been up enough to-uight. Just go ahead and get through. We want quiet, we have had none during ; the live long night.' < He instantly changed bis whole be- : havior and said naturally, 'dere is a { pistol under yuccr head, and If you'll gee it to me I'll not trouble you any more, and go away.' 'Why, there is no pistol here, and I will soon prove it to you there is none.' And raising myself ou my elbow, turn? ed to the bolster and to my surprise there was my French seringue in its ma? hogany case. Fortunately for me it was unlocked or I would have lost it. How it came there I have never learn- , ed. I opened the box. He looked at it. At the sight of it his risabilitios were at once moved, and he showed a 1 beautiful set of* ivory, and said, 'Dat , ain?t de kind of pistol J is-hunting fur 3 He retired at once'with his clankitg sword scabbard dangling' at hfs side, laughing at the singular kind of pistol he had seen. I rather think it was a serious disappointment to him. He was sure it was a pistol. Death in the Cigarette. .Did you ever investigate thc physi? cal phenomena of cigareite smoking ? It is an interesting study. When a man begins to inhale thc smoke of a cigarette the presence of the smoke ir? ritates the lungs. Pretty soon they get into such an abnormal state that this irritation, originally caused by the smoke, is soothed* by it, and it alone. If the lungs are deprived of this titila tion, they get into a state of almost unbearable irritation. A few puffs from a cigarette will soothe this feeling for ten or twenty minutes. That is the reason why an experienced smoker never burns more than half of his cig? arette. After he geL, the craving io his lungs satisfied he has no more taste for a cigarette until the effect has pass? ed away. Then he has to smoke ?gain. The effect of the continual smoking is j to coat the lungs with a kind of fungus, j which is only thick layers of that yel? low stain on the handkerchief. Often ! it gets to be as thick as velvet. Physi- j cians S3y it induces tubercles aud renders the smoker peculiarly liable to pneumonia and other diseases. Com? mon experience shows that it must have some disastrous effect. I know a young ! maa who came oat of college an athlete, I able to ruo a mile without gettiog out of breath. After he had smoked cig? arettes a year he couldn't run a block without puffing hard. I suppose he wouldn't give np the habit if he knew that in another year it would fix him so he couldn't walk up stairs.' Something You Need-Shorthand. "Why?" Because it will aid you more than anything else ia acquiring knowledge. Because it will serve you in case of misfortune. "How can it be learned ?" By the aid of a book studied at home and lessons by mail from an accomplished teacher. "At what expense ?" The trifling sum of $6 00, including book. "Why so cheap when Colleges advertise the same course of instruction for $25? Because a new text-book 13 used that re- j duces the labor of learning proportionately to the difference in price by the system being made simpler than heretofore and more prac- J tical, besides being the most popular method, having the indorsement of our Cougressioual and professional reporters everywhere, togeth? er with over 1000 graduates of our Chain of I Phonographic Colleges. Boys and men on the farm, in workshops and elsewhere-girls at home, in factories and at school have learn? ed the art in from threee to six month's study during spare moments and been helpedto positions in offices by Mr. Scott-Browne where they have earned from $12 to $20, a week.

THOMAS DANIEL JENKINS was born in Camden, S. C., January 13tb, 1857. and died in Sumter County, at the residence of his parents, Millard D. and Leonora Jenkins, April 7th, 1886. Blest with naturally high intellectual en? dowments, a vigorous mind, broad views, an untiring energy, a handsome person, urbanity of manners, a polite, courteous and winning address ; in disposition so quiet and unas? suming, but in principle so firm and coura? geous, in character s > generous, in friendship so sincere, and above all, adorned by the re? fining, purifying and elevating influence of the religion which he professed, it is no won? der that the death of this estimable young man was so universally regretted by those who knew him. He was human, and we do not pretend to claim for bim perfection, "Nemo sine vitis nos citer," but we do claim as one who knew bim well, that he bad as few faults and as many virtues as most men. Indeed, the panegyrist would find a pleasing theme in analyzing and eulogizing bis character, for in it be would find tv. noble type of the high-toned Christian gentleman, whose hopes and aims were nigh, bat whose every aspiration was inspired by the philanthropic principle of trying to do good to his fellow-man. Inheriting no patrimony, yet by industry and business qualification be was rapidly ac? cumulating a competency. Having but little educational advantages in early youth, yet he so improved bis highly endowed mind as to speak and write the English language with a correctness and fluency as to at once attract ?Utention, and was frequently called to local positions of honor and trust both in Church and State.over competitors far bis seniors in age. Such was the magnetism of bis person that iuring all of his protracted sickness, friends from far and near visited and administered to bis every want. And to further show the esteem in which he was held, although living in a sparsely settled community and a busy season, yet bi remains were followed by a long cortege of vehicles, and aa immense concourse of people mended bis funeral obsequies, wbile fai women with lavish floral offerings literally covered bis grave with artistic wreaths and lovely flowers. Then, Tom Dan, farewell. Sleeping upon the daised slopes of Rembert's cemetery, and having fair maidens to bedeck the tapestry of thy couch with roses, may the fairest song ?ters sing thy requiem, and the undying an thems of the wild winds rustling amidst the majestic oaks and tall pines rising so roman tically around your grave, lull yon to peace? ful slumber through the ages of time. And when the last tramp shall sound, may your regenerated and beautified spirit rise in tri? umph to meet your God ia the skies, and join that innrmerable throng who, with robes of spotless white, the crown of life, and the palm af victory, sing the song of Moses and the [jamb, and who with seraphic bands around the eternal throne of Almighty God, shall en ?oy celestial felicities, through the everlasting iges of eternity.

KENNEDY, of Spartanteurg, writes the Proprietors : "The remedial qual? ities of Glenn Springs I have known for over forty years, and can attest to its value in Dyspepsia from gastric or functionnl derange? ment of the Liver, G?n?ral Debility, Dropsical Effusions. Uterine Irregularity and Affections of the Kidneys and Bladder. To the last dis? eases I would particularly call attention, as the waters have shown large curative powers in these complaints." DB. O. B. MITES, of Newberry, S. C., says: "I have sent more than fifty persons suffering with Jaundice to these Springs, and have never been disappointed in any case; they all speedily recovered. I cannot find words to express my confidence in the Glenn Springs water, as a remedy for the Liver, when functionally deranged. Dyspepsia, Dropsy, certain skin diseases, troubles in the Kidneys and Spleen, if produced by the Liver, have all, as I know, disappeared at the Springs." DR. JAMES MCINTOSH, President of the Med? ical Association of South Carolina, in his an? nual address before that body remarks;: "Glenn Springs, for diseases of the Stomach, Liver and Kidneys, deserves to rank with any other on the continent," PRICE OF WATER.
