South CAROLINA MAIDS OF TIE OLDES TIMEl
The Selma Sentinel has exhumed the following
curious petition, which, II says. was signed by ski
teen maids at Charleston, and presented to tha
Governor Of that Province ON March list, 1873:
To His Ereeiienoy Gorernsr Johnson TlId
humble petition of all maids whose names ard
underwritten.
Whereas, we the humble petitioners, are, Of
present, in very melancholy disposition Of mind
considering how all the bachelors are raptivs tcd
by widows and our youth full charms are thereby
neglected; the consequence Of this our request is
that your Bxcellency will, for the future, ordel
that no widow shall, for the future, presume q
marry any young man until the maids are provi
ded for OF else pay each Of them fine for satis
faction for invading our liberties and also fin'
to be laid on all such bachelors as shall nlsnI
widows. The great disadvantage it is TO us, oil,
maids, is, that the widows by their forward cas-
riaSe, do snap up the young men, and have til
vanity to think their merits beyond ours, whicl
is great imposition who have preference
This is humbly recommended to your Exceller
cy's consideration, and we hope you will proven
any further insults.

" The Ebony Idol"

The advocates Of immediate emancipation, says
the Springfield (Mass.) Republican, would be
puzzled to provide for the colorcd race such as
original barDarism and the peculiar kind Of civil
cation they have known in bondage has left them.
If these liberated children should seek TO cx-
change their stern nursery discipline for the holi-
day ease and plenty they hope for at the North,
who among our dainty philan;hropists would
give them the patient training, the persistent
culture requisite to develop their dormant self
reliance The farce OF what will he do with
it ?" would be rc-cnactcd upon painfully IA
mar stage. The following extracts are from
a forthcoming work by Massachusetts writer,
entitled The Ebony Idol" 1t is from the press
Of the Appctons, and narrates the history Of an
escaped fugitive, representative of ut least as
large class of our colored brethren as that typ-
fed by Uncle Tom The memorable law Of civil
cation, work or starve, is one that Sambo, from
the very tropical scnsuousness of his being is ex
cccdincIy slow to learn. In this story worthy
clergyman Of moderate cndowments gives tenn
porarv asylum to Caesar, and labors. 10 explain
what he expects from him in return:
Il wish to do for you all that ] can do wisely
and as Christian, but cannot distress my fam
ily to serve you, or squander the means at my
command l would like you TO work in the gar
den, cut my wood, and do such errands and
chores as will assist my wife. 1t seems to me
you cannot but be willing to do this"
Caesar sat dog.eyed and sullen, without even
pretending to listen. Mr.. Cary spoke more
warmly {" shall make inquiry for you that you
may obtain employment in some reliable family,
where YOU can be paid for your labor; soon as
such an opening is found, shall expect you will
leave us willingly
.'Dis niger didn't come norf to work, no how;
get work enuf at de souf;" cried Cesar ndig-
nanty.
But you must work or starve; liberty is no
thing. unless You can be clothed and fed"
"Dis chile got clothed and fed at the souf, and
want twitted of it nudder,' growled Caesar.
"Lor', wish you could eat one Of Dinah's hoe
cakes, denis fxiDs as is f1nsr'
al beg you, Caesar, now that Providence has
released you from slavery"
Providence hadn't nurthin to do about it; It
was JUS dem cussed abolitiohcrs, and dat is fact
Massa Cary"
Mr. Cary groaned. II was evident he had
indeed fallen upon fallow ground. Cesar, all
gifts are from God lie has doubtless some mo-
tive in releasing you from cruel task-master."
"Nebber heard any niger black or white. cal
nv ole massa cruel task-massa afore. He was
gemman as is gemman."
why did you leave him, then ?" asked Mr.
Cary little testify.

Edward Everett.

WHEN q man exccls all his contemporaries in
some particular line the one thing In which he il
pre-cmlncnt cclipscs the reputation be might en-
10y from doing other things with crcdltable skill
Mr. Everett Is unrlvard by any man. Of his time
in the ability to give eloquent expression to the
sentiment Of patriotism. Take up the two mass
i've octavos that contain his collected works, and
observe how large portion Of tue addresses, Of
which they mainly consist Is devoted TO that
class of purely American topics which appeal
most strongly to the love Of country. More aflu-
ent in information than any other this side
Of the Atlantic, a scholar who has explored every
ancient and every modern literature, Mr. Everett
seems to have sought little ffuit from his various
studies except the inmitable eloquence which Is
so happily fitted to awaken In the minds Of his
countrymcn an interest in whatever is most noble
in their own history and Institutions. lie has,
indeed, discharged with great ability all the Off
cial trusts. neither few nor unimportant. with
which he has been invested; but the destinations
of his eloquence make us perpetually forget that
he has been the governor Of State, n member Of
both houscs Of Congress, that he has filled with
credit the most important Of our foreign missions
and that he has presided over the department.
which furnishes them all with instructions. We
have other statesmen who can fill any of these
Offices as ably Mr.. Everett did but who,
among them all, approaches his matchless elo-
qucnce'
IT is a nobler Office to inspire ones countrymen
with patriotic sentiments, with warm love and
reverence for their institutions than 1t Is TO take
a conspicuous part in the movement Of the gov
ernmcntal machine. Really great statesmen per-
form both these Offices at once the commanding |
character and prc-emint ability which they ex.
hlbit in the discharge of their official duties
crafty the pride Of their countrymen, and make
high station respectable. The countrymen Is i'm
proved and benefited by admiration Of their
character. Mr.. Everett is rendering signal and
needed service in recalling attention to WASHING
TON, and teaching us to appreciate tic reasons
why he has been adjudg'd the greatest public
character that has appeared in human history

LADIES' DEPARTMENT

scngers laughed. II seemed very excusable,
in getting through the fence the poor woman
made sad work with her old blnck bonnet,

a dark avenue and at last stopped at the ntersec-

seemed the most inviting, resolved to see what
it contained. There were many beautiful flowers
growing around US. l thought should love TO
live there always; but as | stood gazing upon the
lovely objects that surrounded us, these frail
flowers began to droop, and at length they died
