And now for few things which we don't like TO


zee.
We don't like to see boys assuming TO be men. And
one main reason Of our aversion TO this assumption
is, That i, invariably sts rdculously upon them.
The ncongruty Of the thing is obvious to every one
but the poor, mistaken lada If they were blessed
with the sagaci,y TO "see themselves as others see
them," there would be no necessity for even hint
upon this point from lis or any one else Burton, or
other comic genius, has expressed this dislike IN
verse after the following fashion:
81 don't like 10 aee little buys way from Mama,
Promenndng the street with lighted csnr,
Or calling for n class Of gin or rum
And crying out Oh, Im pumpkins some"
Then again, wo don't like to zee boys "loafing"
about stores, or shops, any common gathering
ground of iders. AS we intimated in our advice TO
the girls every hour lost 1T this precious time oil lie
will count for day in their after prospects, Leisure
and recreation, to certain extent and properly taken,
arc necessary TO their growing powers and to relieve
the hey.day Of youthful blood But let them never
choose "luafng" resort for these purposes. For
there they will scarcely be advanced except in the
items of slang vulgar jests &C. In their play
grounds let every youth be merry MS he may choose
to be- so long as this does not interfere with steady
pursuit of learning But boys should avoid senseess
and lazy loahing," as they would avoid n sink from
which they cannot c1tricatc themselves without more
or less pollution.
Lastly, tfor our Foreman snys this article ia already
long cnough) do no, like to boys either fanci
full or slovcnly in their habits Their clothes may be
ever SO nc and yet, il foppishly worn or reckessy
soiled, every one will think The weares do no not
deserve what they carry on their backs. On the
other hand :. neut boy although in home.spnn suit,
will be commended by the world arc:nd much onener
than he is aware Of.

Some Facts for an 1ntellieens Public.

Some Facts for an Intelligent Public.
An election s now q, hand the result Of which will
decide :rts whose the people Of Edgehcd, Abbe-
vile, Laurens, Newberry and Lexington prefer to
commit their representation in the National Lcgisla
tu.e 70. the next several years.
'In the matter of this election we have been &C.
cused BY one candidate Of "illiberality.' To this
charge we replied calmly, and hope conclusively
ic our last issue. Ru, We perceive that the same
charge has been taken up against US elsewhere and
that il has been made the pse:ext Of raising cry OF
"persccu:inn." Now j, occurs 10 us, thc, nothing
could well be fat and ijudgcd than cry like
this, sent on: 20 discriminating people a, this lat-
stage Of the canvass because we, forso0th thought
proper TO prefer gentleman another and to indi-
cate tia. preference briefly, mildly and without u
thought Of injustice towards any one. In political
struggles like the present, however, such az captain
DUN shifts arc 10 be expected. With the weak and
preuliced they have some effect. Yet those who
reso., 10 them should remember that with the scns
bio and Independent portion Of every community they
are pretty sure indications Of failing cause.
But we did no: design to do more than barely men,
ton this point.
Inasmuch, however, as we have bsen held up 20
pnblic censure in other Districts for publishing our
preference in this election, will briefly give the
real ground Of our choice. It is nothing more no less
than our conviction Of Col. PIcKEss' superiority as
Statesman, 10 either OF his opponents, supcradded
the reflection that the South now needs her best tried
ability in the halls of Federal legislation. For proof
OF the latter part oFOur proposition, will go no fur
ther than the last speech Of distinguished Senator
ludge BUTLER. No one can arise from the pe,usal
of that able effort without feeling that there is ne.

The gold fru;tcd Orange and ruby gcnrmrd vine
Shall bloom round thy dwelling and shade thee a

While birds of all music keep amorous tune,
BY the gush Of glad fountains we'll res, as at ere
No troubles to ve1 US, no sorrows to gricre-
Oh come to the South

And love kecpeth ever his frrvcnt control.
