Honoring Parents.

AS stranger went into the churchyard
of pretty village, he beheld three chill
dren at newly made grave. A boy, abou,
ten yeas of age, was busiIy engaged in
placing plants Of turf about it, willie girl
who appeared year or two younger, held
II. In her apron few roots of wild flowers
The third child, still younger, was sitting
on the grass, watching with thoughtful
look the movements of. .the other two, They
wore pieces of Grape on their hats and
other signs of mourning, such as are some.
tunes worn by the poor who struggle be-
tween their poverty and their affections.
The girl soon began planting some Of
her wild flowers around the head of the
grave, when the stranger addressed them ::
Whose grave is this, children, about
which you are SO busily engaged ~
M others grave, sir" said the boy.
"And did your father send you to place
these flowers around your mothers grave ="
No, sir, father lies here too, aud little
Willie and sister Jane"
when did they d;e!"
Mother was burr fortnight yesterday,
sir but father died last winter: they all
lie here"
":rhel no told you to do tbisp
Nobody, sir" replied the girl.
"Ihcn why do you do it /"
They appeared at loss for IN answer,
but the stranger looked at tlIorn SO kindly
that at length the eldest replied, as the tears
started in his eyes:
"Oh, we did love them, sir"
Then you put these grass turfs and
Wild flowers where your parents are laid

The Presidency and speaEership.


The Charleston .Standurd, referring to
a letter from its Washington correspondent,
remarks:-
1t will be seen, ty reference to the letter
Of our Washington correspondent, that
Mr.. Pierce has given indication of his in
tention to become the candidate of the
Democratic party for reelection to the Of
flee Of President Of the United States.
For our own part, we would not be willing
to tie the State of South Carolina to the
head or heels of any great national party
in this country; but we have little hesita-
ton in saying thnt Mr.. Pierce has been
most worthy and efficient chief magistrate
of the country, and that, without the oc-
currcnce Of circumstances which are now
not certainly forescen, we will heartily COM
mend him to the suffrage Of the people of
this State.
1t will also be seen that, upon the oc-
currence of certain contingencies, Mr.. Orr, Of
this State, will come to have very high
claims to the office of Speaker of the House
of Representatives. This is an office for
which we think Mr.. Orr most ennently
fitted. He has the frmness and address
which will enable him to acquit himsetin
that position with great credit and as
the office is the proper object Of an hon
orahle ambition, we would be greatly pleas
ed if he would achieve it.
