A Little German Story.

"A countryman one day returning from
the city took home with him five of the
finest peaches one could possibly desire to
see, and as his children had never beheld
the fruit before, they rejoiced over them
exceedingly, calling them the fine apples
with the rosy cheeks, soft, plumblike skins.
The father divided them among his four
children, and retained one for their mother.
In the evening, ere the children retired to
their chamber, the father questioned them
by asking,
"How did you like the soft rosy apples 2 "
very much indeed, dear father" said
the oldest boy, ut is beautiful fruit, 80 ac-
I'd, and yet so nice and soft to the tast I
have carefully preserved the stone that
may cultivate tree"
alright and bravcly DONE" said the ia
ther; "that speaks well for regarding the
future with care, and is becoming in a
young husbandman."
away" said the youngest, 'beaides which,
mother gave me half of hers. Oh, it tast-
cd SO sweet and SO melting in my mouth"
"lndeed answered the father, "thou
hast not acted prudently. However, it was
very natural and childlike, aud displays
wisdom enough for your years"
Il have picked up the stone" said the
second one, "which my little brother threw
away, cracked it, and eat the kernel, it was
as sweet as nut to the taste, but my peach
l have sold for SO much money that when
60 TO the city l can buy twelve Of them.n
The parent shook bis head reprovingly,
saying, '
"Beware, my boy, of avarice. Prudence
is all very well, but such conduct ms yours
is unohildlike and unnatural. Heaven
guard thee, my child, from the fate of a
mIser. And You, Edmund?" asked the
father, turning to his third son, who frankly
and openly replied,
II have given my peach to the son Of
our neighbor, the sick George, who has
had the fever. He would not take it, so I
left it on bis bed, and have just now come
away"
"Now," said the father, "who has done the
best with his peach Z"
"Brother Edmund " the three exclaim-
ed aloud; "Brother Edmund!"
Edmund was still and silent, and his mo.
ther kissed him with tears Of joy in her
eyes.

ABBEVILLE H, SOUTH CAROLINA MORNING. SEPTEMBER 49, 1885,

which Judge Chiffon had pleased to style
the "Robber's Plea" Mr.. Clopton read
from the Manifesto and showed how Mr..
Buchan, Northern man, had recommended
that whenever the safety of the South de-
manded it, that Cuba should he obtained by
purchase if possible--by force if the great
right of self defence demands it. He then
denounced in withering language, the man
who would call this the Robbers Plea
The shouts that rent the air showed that
the audience fully agreed with him. lie
then called on Mr.. HilIard when he would
rise to address the audience, to tell them
why it was that the twelfth section was left
out of the February platform at Philadcl-
phia and also why it was that the Ameri-
can party Of Alabama had abandoned the
position assumed at Montgomery, in Febru-
ary, 1856 The Hon. gentleman then took
his seat amidst great applause, and the
names of Buchanan and Breckenridge were
borne aloft by the enthusiastic crowd.
1t being now late in tho evening, great
many persons began to leave, and by the
time that Mr.. 1illiard got through at least
one half had left. Mr.. billiards speech
was one Of that character which expected
1t was merely rhetorical display, lacking
that depth which marks the statesnfsn, and
that argument which should characterize
the logician. He never even attempted to
answer Mr.: Clopton's queries, but whiled
away his time in relating anecdotes, and
then complained Of the shortness of time |!
Such speech will do to amusc, but not
instruct; at least so thinks
ARGUS.

HLast Island.n

A terrible calamity lately visited this island
"a place of resort for Lousianians, in the
Parish Of Terrebonne, on the Gulf coast.
The island is Of horseshoe form, the con-
vex side facing the Gulf The concave, or
what is called the rear of the Island, is cut
up into numerous bayous or back bays,
all connecting with shallow lake in the
rear, which, in turn, connects with the Gulf
at each end of the Island. Where the
principal hotel stood, and the numerous cot
tages erected in its vicinity for the convent
ence of the summer visitors, the Island,
from the Gulf side to the back bay, is but
few hundred yards wide. The length of the
island is from twenty to thirty miles, its
width one and less.
There was storm on the Gulf. The
wind being from the southwark and east
ward, suddenly swept the waters of the
GuIt around the east end Of the Island, rap
IDLY filling up the bays and lakes in the
rear. So sudden was the rise, that it was
said for some time the waters from the rear
rose at the rate of foot minute! While
the waters in the rear were rising with such
fearful rapidly, the waves from the Gulf
side Of the narrow strip Of land were ma
KING fearful breaches over tho ridge, and
thus, before the unfortunate residents had
time to prepare for escape, if even that
were possible, or to contemplate their peril
Gus position, they we're hemmed in between
the rush of waters in front and rear. Many,
it is said, sought safety in the hotel and
other buildings adjacent, those buildings
being considerably elevated. This, howev-
er, furnished them with but a temporary
asylum, as the houees were soon washed
away, burying all those who sought shelter
in them in one common ruin.
1t is thought that upwards of one hun
dred persons were lost by the submerg-
ing of "Last Island"

you, Monsieur Smith you like to work
you mind your business. Now do some
thing for your five little chicks. There,
take these five pieces of paper for your lit.
tie chicks; you shall work for them; you
shall mind your business, and your little
chicks shall never want FIVE more. Good
bye"
The feelings of the grateful man being
too much overcome to allow him to reply,
he departed in silence; and BY minding his
own business, he is now one of the wealth..
est of the name in Philadelphia.

MISCELLANY.
FOR THE INDEPENDENT PRESS.
Political Discussion In Alabama.


UNION SrnIScs, Ala, Sept. 5, 1856.
Messrs. Editors 1t was my good for
tune to attend political dinner at this
place, on the 4th inst, and thinking that
short account Of that affair might be ac-
ceptablc to your readers, I have thought fit
thus to take the liberty of addressing you.
The meeting was numerous and respecta-
bic, there being some $500 or 5000 per-
sons present, and was called to order by the
Chairman, DR.. Powell, at the hour of ten
o'clock, a. m.
The Hon. VIM. p. Chiffon was then in
troduced to the meeting and proceeded to
bring forward a bill of Indictment against
james Buchanan. This bill of Indictment
consisted of twenty.six charges of the most
frivolous nature, such as the war of 1872,
Federalism of 1915, low wages, old bach
elorisn, &c. This was brought forward
with the evident intention of occupying Mr.
Clopton's time in reply, in order that Mr..
billiard (who was to follow Mr.. Clopton)
might make rhetorical display and not an
argumentative speech. Judge Clifton took
bis seat amid expressions Of disappointment
from friends and foes. To say the least, it
was poor effort. He never alluded to Mr..
FilImore's Congressional or Presidential CA
reer at all. Mr.. Clopton arose amid the
greetings of his friends, who were largely in
the ascendancy. He then requested them
not to applaud, as his time was short and
he wanted it all. lie then calmly and ef-
sectually refuted the leading charges brought
forward by Judge Chiffon. And sucl,
rhsrgesas "old Bachelor" 'ten cent man."
&c, he passed over with that silent con-
tempt which they justly merited. He then
took up the position which the Fillmore and
Buchaitan parties held before the country
lie proved clearly to the minds Of all Impair
tisl men that the Democratic party was the
only one Which had redeemed its pledges
bygiving justice to the South. He took
IBIS seat amid loud applauses, and the meet
ing then adjourned for dinner. The dinner
rejected great credit on the managers and
the iiberality Of the surrounding country.
After dinper the discussion was again re-
sumed BY Mr. Clopton. He alluded in
glowing terms to the respective merits FaDd
past esseer.of the two great candidates for
the Presidency, and need not tell you
how bright appeared Buchanan compared
with Fillmore. He then took occasion to
allude to TIC ee1ebrsted "Osead Manifesto"

Who are your Aristocrats 2

Twenty years ago this one made candles,

their children will be after them-tho1et, Il

you will find that toiling worms hatch but
terflies-and they live about year. Death
brings division Of property, and it brings
new financiers; the old gent is discharged,
the young gent takes his revenues, and be-
gins to travel-towards poverty, which he
reaches before death, or his children do, if
he does not. So that, in fact, though there

Compliment to Printers.

John c. Rives in a recent published let
ter, on the subject Of public printing, has &
word OF suggestion to writers for the press
and of compliment to the 'iour," whose du.
ty it not unfrequentIy is to make sense out
OF very senseless ehirography. None but a
writer for the daily press can comprehend
how much truth there is in the veteran
printers remarks. Many members of Con.
gress, and exc not few greater men, must
have been surprised at the respectable figure
they cut in print, without thinking of the
tollsome labor and the exercise of the better
talent than their own, which had been ex-
pended by the '.jour" printer in licking into
shape the message, report or speech fur
nished by them. Mr.. Rives says:
have seen the manuscript writing of
most great men of the country during the
past twenty years, and think may say
chat no twenty Of them could stand the test
of the scrutiny Of one-half of the Journey
men printers employed in my office.
This fact will be vouched by every edi-
tor in the Union. To poor 'jour" many
great man" owes his reputation for scl,oi-
arship, and were the humble type-stickers
to resolve, by concert, to set up manuscript
in their hands, for even one little week, pre-
cisely as it is written by the authors, there
would be more regulations slaughtered than
their devils could shake stick at in twen-
ty-four hours. Statesmen would become
@small BY degrees and beautifully less"
Many an ass would have the lions hide
torn from his limbs, Men, whom the
world called writer's, would wake up of
mornings and find themselves as
mere repretenders-humbugs-cheats.

Stephen Girard.

The wealthy merchant, who flourished
IN Philadelphia, not many years ago, was
one of the best friends of the working class.
es that ever lived. lie admired industry
as much as he despised sloth-and there has
never been known an instance where he did
not furnish employment or money to an
industrious man in distress.
Eraly one morning, while Mr.. G. was
walking around the square. where the me.
chanlcs' house now stands, John Smith, who
had worked on his buildings in the humble
capacity of hod carrier, and who Mr.. G. had
noted for his unusual activity, applied to
him for assistance, when something like the
following dialogue took place.
Assistance work, liza! You want to
work 2"
ayes, sir; it's long time since I've had
any thing to do"
"Very we'll shall give you some. You
see dem stone yondare?"
ayes, sir"
"Very WELL" you shall fetch and put him
in this place. "You see 2" y
ayes, sir"
"And when you done, come to me at nv
bank"
Smith diligently performed his task,
which he accomplished about one o'clock,
when he repaired to Mr.. G. and informed
him that it was finished, at the same time
asking if he could not give him some more
work.
"Ah. ha! Out? You want more work :
Very we'll; you shall 90 place dem stones
where you got him. Understandzi You
take him back"
aHYes, sir."
Away went Smith to his work, which
having got through with about sunset, he
waited on MI. G. for his pay.
%Ah, ha you all finishs"
ayes, SIR"
every we'll. How much money shall I
give, your.
"One dollar, sir"
"Dat is honest. You take no advantage.
Dere is your dollar" ....
"Cau ! do any thing else for you I"
HOui. Come here when you get up TO-
morrow. You shall have some work.
Next morning, on calling, Smith was not
little astonished when told that he must
"Take dem stones back again. nor was his
astonishmept diminished, when the order
WAS repeated for the 1ourtk and last time
However, he was one Of those happy kind

FARM ScRAP-BooK.-Every planter and
farmer should keep scrap-book. We do
not mean that he should collect pictures
aud poems, and other dainty wares in a
splended folio, but that he should obtain
large and plainly but substantially bound
folio Of light cartridge paper or Of wrap
ping paper, 60. well made that it can be
written on. Then let him cut, or direct his
children to cut, from his country paper, or
from the Mercury, everything relating to
agriculture on which he can lay his hands.
To avoid confusion, and for the sake Of ref
erence, he would do we'll to devote portion
OF the book to each subject, arrange them
alphabetically. Thus, under the letter A
may come general remarks on agriculture,
apples, Or any other farming subject begin.
ming with A. Plenty Of room sAosld be
left in the margin for, the farmer to write
down any, remarks of his own. Such .
volume would .,in year OF two, become q
matter Of constant reference, aid a source
OF very decided profit. 'o7"' 'a'4e4' ''5t

The Pass of Death.

1t was narrow pass,
Watered with human tears,
For Death had kept the outer gate
Almost six Thousand years.
And the ceaseess tread of a worlds feet
Was ever in my ears
Thronging, jostling, hurrying by,
As if they were only born to die.
A stately king drew near,
This narrow pass to tread,
Around him hung gorgeous robe,
And crown was on his head;
But Death, with a look of withering scorn,
Arrested him and said
''ln humber dress must the king draw near,
For the crown and the purple are useless here >
Next came n man Of wealth,
And his eye was proud and bold,
And he bore in his hand lengthy scroll,
Telling of sums untold;
But Death, who careth not for rank,
Cnreth as little for gold
"IIere that scroll cannot allow,
For the gold of the richest is powerless now
Another followed fast,
And book was in his hand,
Filled with the flashes of burning thought
That are known in many land;
But the child of genius quaied to hear
Deaths ptiless demand
'11ere that book cannot enter with thee,
For the bright flash of genius is nothing to me- II
Next came a maiden fair,
With that eye SO deeply bright,
That stirs within you strange sweet care,
Should you meet on a summer night;
But Death, ere the gentle maid passed through,
Snatched away its light
Beauty power in the world" he saith,
"But what can it do in the Pass of Death I"
A youth of sickly mien
Followed in thoughtful mood
Whose heart was filled with love to God
And the early brotherhood;
Death felt he could not quencl the heart
That lived for others good
Il own," cried he, ''the power of love,
must let it pass to the realms aboveI"

the particulars
"A schoolmaster had tame sparrow, of
