A STRANGE WORLD.
The following is the closing passage of an
eloquent address that was recently delivered
by the Hon. A. b. Longstreet, the President
Of the South Carolina College, to the Gradu-
ating Glass
You are embarking upon strange world,
nv young friends. 1t banished Aristides,
poisoned Socrates, murdered Cicero, and
cruci6ed the Lord of Glory. The spirit of
Themistocles, of Melitus, of Anthony and
Caiaphas is still in the world-greatly subdu-
ed and law bound to be sure, but not extin-
guished. You may expect, therefore, at
times, to be depressed by your rivals, condem-
ned for your patriotism, and tormented for
your benefactions; to have your confidence
abused, your integrity derided, and to suffer
q thousand impostions in smaller matters
from those from whom you had right to
expect better things. These are hard things
to bear, say you. They are 50, my young
friends, and you will never bear them a. you
should, unless YOU take the good book for
your guide, and look only to its author for
supplies of strength sufficient for Your trial.
Do this, and all will be well at last. With
that chart in your hand now launch your
barque upon the troubled ocean Of life; and
when the squalls strike you, be at least as pru-
dent as the common sailor, and be found hard
mt the helm. with your chart before you, and
YOUR eve fixed on Bethlehem's star.
The above is at once pithy and forcible.-
How few, as they stand upon the threshold
ofmanhood, con form an adequate idea ofthe
struggles and trials Of the battle of life! The
few prosper and are comparatively happy. and
the many experience all sorts OF vlclssitudes,
and descend to the grave full OF anxlcties
and cares and often impatient for the change.
REASON FOR MARRYING 4 DUMB WOMAN
A man named Thomas Gait was married yes
terday, by Justice Hanselman, to Sarah Jane
Anderson, a mute. Some curiosity was excl
ted by the fact of his marrying Il woman who
could not speak, and a constable asked HIM
the cause Of his doing so. Gait answered,
that he had two wives already, and they gave
him no rest by reason of their talking cease
lessly, and complaining and scolding from
morning till night. Both had died, and now
as he was forty years old. and DESTROYS of
having little peace for the remainder Of his
