KNG's MOUNTAIN MILITARY ScHooL.-The
first quarter (of 1889 of this institution is
now drawing to close, and we are grati6ed
in being able to record its continued success
and prosperity. Indeed, at no former period
Of its existence has it exhibited more unmis'
taxable signs of increasing vigor and useful
ness. From reliable authority we learn, that
out Of near one hundred cadets who have en-.
tered, but four have left the institution during
the past three months, and that their places
are being speedily filled by new applicants.
Com'ining the advantages of an excellent
situation with admirable educational facilities,
it is not wonderful that the Kings Mountain
Military School has attained high position
among the literary institutions Of the State.
But its popularity seems not to be confined to
the limits of South Carolina, many other
Southern States having their representatives
within its walls. Relying upon the past q. On
augury of the future, we confidently predict
for the school long, useful, and honorable
career.-Yorkville Enquirer.

A man iu his carriage was riding along,
A gsily-drcssed wife by his side;
Iu satin and laccs sho looked like tho queen,
Aud he like o king in his pride.
The wood.sawyer stood on the street as they
passed;
The carriage and couple he eyed;
And said, as he worked with his saw on log,
~ wish I was rich aud could ride"
Tho mon 10 the carriage remarked to lis wife
Gone thing would give if I could
I'd give my weslth for the strength mud the

a pretty young maid, with bundle Of work
Whose face, as the morning, was fair,
Went tripping along with smile of delight
While humming q lore.breathing air.
She looked on the carriage; the lady she saw,
Arrayod in apparel go fine,
And said, in n whisper, "I wish from my heart
Those satins and laces were mine."
The lady looked out on the maid with her work.
So fair in her calico dress,
And said, I'd relinquish position md wealth,
Her beauty and youth to possesf."
Thus it is in the world, whatever our lot,
Our minds and our time we employ
In longing and signing for what w have not,
Ungratclul for what NO enjoy.
We welcome tho pleasure for which We have
sighed,
The heart has void in it still,
Growing deeper aud wider the longer we live,
That nothing but heaven can ill.

,ras glutted Indeed, it would not have been
clutted so soon, because cuptal would not have
been so much tempted to desert other pursuits to
engage in it. We simply drafted negroes from the
North instead of from Africa, until the glut came,
lust as We now draft them from the border slave
ly umproductive sections of the cotton States, or
from other pursuits in the cotton States, until we
pull down the price of days labor in the cotton
fcd to an equality with the profit of dny's labor
in other business. It deserves 10 hc repeated
again aud again that the money which we hal to
pay for cotton lahorers alone between 1915 and %,
would have bought liz the laborcrs in Africa-still
preserved our manufactures, and that the cotton
was gutcl if the slave trade had then been open.
Ii also deserves everlasting remembrance that the
North, by having control of the slave market be-
tween 1915 and 20 not only robbed Us Of our conf
mcrcc, and manufactures, and shipping, and
European artizars. but also despoiied us Of the
very cnpi'"i whcrewith to do it.
Nome of these things could have occurred, even
till now, If the slave trade had never been closed
according to the teachings Of NIL history. which
awards empire to the South before it does 10 the
North in the civilization of any continent and
the civilization Of this continent is nuw only dawn

never been stopped, many LowcllS AID Granite-

We rarely open un exchange, which does not

deeds of violence seem not to be confined to

outbreaks of evil passion porten'l, is only
known to Him to whom vengeance belougeth,
and who alone is able to restrain the wrath Of
