Motto OF the Mass.
I've seen enough Of life, although
Not vet beyond my prime;
With men Of all sorts-high and low
I've mingled in my time.
When but q boy it came to pass
That, thrown upon the town,
found the motto of tho mass
Was t'Kick him when he's down"
And every year since then hath given
Fresh proof Of this decree;
But, whether made in hell or heaven,
The doctors disagree.
I only know the fact is SO,
And, smile at it or frown,
The art of life seems in the strife,
To kick whoever's down.
Young Leon, in his twentieth year,
Had friends-God wot! a heap;
Their friendship may have been sincere
1t surely was not cheap.
He came Of age-spent all he had,
And wandering through the town,
Neglected, hungry, well nigh mad,
Was kicked when he was down.
Poor Edith, too, the loveliest girl
That ever charmed our sight,
Ofbeauty's crown the fairest pearl,
And good as she was bright.
She felI-she fell. Let scandal tell
The tale to all the town,
Aloud proclaim sisters shame,
And kick her when she's down,
With high and low-but chiefly so
Among the vulgar great
This motto rules, and all are fools
Who dare it's truth debate;
Oh, brothers! Earth were paradise,
And heaven without q frown.
Could we uproot such social lies
AS "Kick him when he's down"

Charleston Advertisements.

lU l1E MEhGnhW lA
OF THE SOUTH.
HNHE undersigned, WHOLESALE DEAL
il ERS, advise YOU Of the fact that
Charleston is again a market for the pur-
chase of goods; and in view of the early
opening of the Spring Trade, we beg to
solicit the resumption of the patronage 50
iberally extended to this market in the
past. We are aware that many old and
respected firms will be missed from our
number, but many familiar names will be
found in new associations, ready to supply
the wants of the trade as OF yore, and other
old and new firms will be added to our
number at an early day.
The cash and short credit system having
been universally adopted in all the North
ern markets, we are necessarily compelled
to adopt like system as the only safe one
on which TO conduct business, and the
heavy per centage once necessary to cover
bad debts will now be avoided. Small pro-
fits and quick returns will be the rule, and
under it's working ne hope not only to
restore to our ancient city its former pros
perity, but to extend her trade to the full
geographical position and natural advan-
taSes afford. Our interest and ambition
combine to stimulate us in attaining this
result.
The South Carolina Railroad is now open
TO Columbia, and its President has officially
informed us that the Augusta line will be
completed to Blackville this month, and
that on the first on February he Will receive
through freight to Augusta. A line of
steamers to Savannah will afford facilities
for shipping in that direction. 1t is our
purpose to have in store, by the last Of
February, u complete and " led assort-
ment OF goods i'll cur respective lines
adapted to the Spring Trade, and every
,c,;ertion shall be made to promote your
interests.
We extend to you the hand OF CONNER
cial fellowship, and solicit your co-opera-
ton and patronage in our efforts to make
Charleston the centre of Southern trade.
Give Us the encouragement we ask, and
You will enjoy all the advantages of u cheap
home market.

Home Education.

From the report of the Committee
on Christian Education to the Epis-
copal General Convention, we extract
the following:
Home education, the committee
need hardly say, is the first and most
important part of their subject, be-
cause it is the basis of all education
Comparatively few, in spite Of ali that
is said upon it, appreciate the influ-
ence for time and for eternity of
well-ordered home-circle, a judicious
system of domestic instruction. 1t is
a school always open, teaching rs well
by example as precept. Its voice is
never silent through childhood and
youth, and is not hushed among the
labor and trials of later years. The
memory of a happy christian home
brings men back to the thought, at
least, of the simplicity and purity of
childhood with directness and power
which unvel vice and disarm tempta-
ton. By far the larger part of the
errors and vices, the irreligion and
lntidelity of the age, is directly
chargeable to~the neglect of home
culture by the fathers and mothers of
the land. It is only justice to say,
that the responsibility rests with much
greater weight upon the former than
upon the latter. Many n wife and
mother strives to do her whole duty
towards her little ones, and with sor-
row of heart fails for the want of aid
and sympathy from him from whom
she has right to expect both.
The causes which have led to the
wide departure in this regard from
the habits of our fathers are nume-
rous. The great one, no doubt, is
the intense earnestness which ami
mates almost all their worldly pur-
suits. The father has but little inter
course with his children, for his bust
ness will not permit it, The mother
finds the care of the family and the
demands of society too urgent for the
proper discharge of her reli igious duty
to them. And so they are both likely
to resort to the compromises and sub
sSltutes which have been provided,
and to be careless about the inhu-
ences, which will do as much for their
children's education as any purposed
training can do.
