WILL YOU COME TO OUR MOUNTAIN HOME.

Until very recently our town and District
have been little regarded by Our friends Of the
low country, and were known to them only by
report they are, however, beginning to chal-
lenge attention, and We feel sure, if the same
spirit of enterprise continues to actuate our
people, we will soon attain position with the
very foremost of our sister Districts Of the up.
country The number and character of our
schools and colleges arc giving us much more
intimate association with the lower and sea-
board districts, and have already made us many
warm friends in that quarter; we hope, too, to
be better known to them very soon by reason
of our railroad connection. We are not afraid
of being known, more especially when We hear
continually the good report made by those who
have visited US, and ask, therefore, all who de-
sire health, pleasure and instructive recreation,
to "come to our mountain home" We will
treat you as kindly, give you as many of the
real comforts Of life, charge, cheat and Swindle
you less than at the North. We have cheap
and comfortable hacks to bring you from the
railroad points nearest us we have three large
hotels in our town; we have mountain scenery
as grand rs any at the North; we have bold
and beautiful streams; we have fountain Of
cold and sparkling water on almost every hill
side; we have mineral springs, the virtue of
whose waters in restoring to health and strength
those who have suffered from bodily pain and
atfiction is well known; we have manufactures
of cotton and of iron, mines of gold, lead and
copper; we have country abounding in inter-
est to the mineralogist and geologist; we have
battle.felds which will always interest the ad-
mrers of heroic deeds and the friends of free
dom, from whatsoever quarter of our land they
may come; we have school for the deaf, dumb
and blind, which is to become the pride and
ornament of the State, and cannot fail to inter-
est all who may visit it.
We might add to this list, as our story is not
half told, but we prefer to have our friends
come and see for themselves, and would advise
them to start carly enough to be present at
the College Comlnencements in our town, on
the 18th and l4th Of July, and at Limestone
Springs the following week.-Spartanburg Ex-

And opon wide the door;
And mortals who pass through IL,
Are mortals never more.
That glorious land Is heaven,
And death the sentry grim;

The opening keys to him.

And sorrowing for sim.
Do pass the gate in dying,
Aud freely enter in.
Though dark and drear the passage,
That leadeth to the gate,
Yet grace comes with the message,
To souls that watch and wait;
And at the time appointed,
A messenger comes down,
And leads the Lords anointed
From the cross to glory's crown.
Their sighs are lost in singing,
They're blessed in their tears,
Their journey homeward winsing,
They leave to earth their fears.
Death like an angel seemeth,

Their face with glory beameth-

A Broken IIEART.-"Did he strike you"
asked judge in Cincinnati, of witness who
had testified that her husband abused her.
aNo, sir" replied the modest and delicate
looking woman, "hs has never struck me, though
he has often threatened to do it. He abuses
me, and am obliged to flee from his presence" :"
aDid he break any of the furniture 2" asked
the Court.
"No, sir" responded the witness, as a tear
dropped from her eyc, and she placed her hand
on her bosom. "No sir he did not break the
furniture, but be has frequently threatened to
break my heart, and he is doing it, sir"
Poor woman she evidently spoke the truth.
This bloated monster who stood beside her,
though he had once solemnly promised to love
and protect her, is now her most bitter persecu-
tor, her sorest trouble No doubt he once did
love her. No doubt but that one time he would
rather have died than cause bitter tear to
start from her soft blue eyes, but intemperance
has unnamed, brutalized him, and he is now
breaking her heart. Heaven helpthe drunkards

A young friend of ours tells the. following
story of himself:
"When young, he had read the we'll known
story of George Washingtons love Of truth,
and the fathers love of the noble principle of
bis son, so well manifested on the occasion re-
ferred to, of George cutting down the cherry
tree, acknowledging the transaction, and receiving
full and free pardon, besides praises and kind
caresses from bis father. So Jim, actuated by
so noble an example, thought hc would try the
experiment He supplied himself with the
Ratchet, and going into his fathers orchard, cut
down some choice fruit trees. He then coolly
sat down to wait the old mans coming, and as
he made bis appearance, marched up to him
with very important air, and acknowledged
the deed, expecting the next thing on the pro-
rramme to be tears, benedictions and embraces
from the offended parent. But sad to relate,
the old gentleman caught up "a hickory and gave
him an sall fired lamning'"

Gertrude looked up mischerously. Freddy
ran out to conceal her tears Of pain, and morti-

left little Annie, for the rest Of the evening,
and walked away.
That night, Annie ran into the parlor with

From the Charleston Mercury.
FIRST BLOOD SHED FOR LIBERTY IN TIE
REVO[IITJOy.

The first blood shed in defence Of liberty and
opposing English expressions was in the South.
The State of North Carolina-the sold North
State" and twin sister of South Cardinals en-
titled to the honor. 1t was during the guber-
material administration of the notorious Gov
ernor Tryon, the English Governor at the time,
who built one of the most splendid palaces in
either North or South America, at Newbern,
N. c., with the proceeds of tares imposed upon
the people for the purpose, and to resist which
taxation portion of them rebelled, just as did
the men of Massachusetts, atierpards.. 1t took
place in the year 1871, and Is narrated BY Mr.:
Wheeler in his history of North Carolina. On
the 10th of May, in that year, battle was
fought between the American aid British forces,
on the banks of the Alamance river, in what Is
known now as the county of that name, called
the Battle of Alamance. The American forces
were called the REGULATORS" from their efforts
in endeavoring to bring about an equitable regu-
lation of taxes and other oppressive matters.
The American forces amounted TO two thousand,
and were headed by three men named Husbands,
Hunter and Butler; while the British forces.
including militia called out by Tryon, amounted
to upwards Of eleven hundred but had the all
vantage greatly in arms and discipline. AS
might have been expected, the Americans were
defeated, after an action Of two hours, with a
loss of twenty dead and several wounded, while
that of the royal forces, wounded, and missing,
was sixty-one. Mr.. Wheeler says:
"Thus ended the battle of Ala'nance. Thus
and here was the first btood spilled in these
United States, in resistance to exactions Of
English rulers and expressions by the English
government "The great Wolf of South Caro-
lima" showed his blood-thirsty temper by acts
of revenge, cruelty, and barbarity. He hung
Captain Tew the next day, without trial. on
tree.n
1t was in this case, as Byron truly says in
one of his poems
"For Freedoms battle once begun,
Bequeathed from bleeding sire to son,
Though sometimes lost, is ever won"
Thus we sec that it was at the battle of Ala
nance, and not at Bunker Hill, that the first
American blood was shed in the cause of liber-
ty. "uonor to whom honor is due
