In THE WRONG PLAcE.-An old
Methodist, very great ut responses,
which were not always appropriate,
bat always we'll meant, went one
day to hear a popular preacher. The
preacher usually lucid, was rather
perplcxed, and felt it himself. He
fabored through the first part, and
then said:
Brethren, I have reached the con-
clusion of my first point"
"Thank God" calculated the
old man, who sat before him, pro-
foundly interested, in q voice that
was heard in every part of the large
church.
The last part of that sermon was
harder to preach than the first.
A FRENCH Girls CHARITY.-On
learning through the Courier des
Etats Unts that one William Snyder
was fined $40 in the United States
for having obtained kiss from Miss
Phebe L., without her consent,
the charming Blanche D., of Paris,
exclaimed: "Ungratefal' country !
you shall yet have my bones. Like
Lafayette, I will emigrate in q noble
cause to the laud of Franklin"
"And what would you do there?"
inquired one of her intimate friends.
Whatl why, | would let the men
kiss me without my consent"

Fancy DANCING.-An exchange
cautions young men who can't dance
fancy dances, not to go to ball with
a young lady who can, aud adds a
few suggestions as follows:
eff we ever have children we
shall teach them these dances. Not
that they will enjoy the hopping
around, first on one foot, then on
the other, then on both, but they
will have such good chance to hug
other peoples wives and sweethearts.
This is the secret of the dancing.
No one could object then; but if a
fellow were to sit by the side of his
own wife even, in a ball room, and
hug her half as hard-wcll, wouldn't
there be remarks! Guess not |!
Talk about going to picnic, visiting
weddings, going to apple-cuts, spark
ing by moonlight, sitting on the
porch Sunday evenings and steal
ing kiss every time star shoots,
sleigh.riding by the side ofa rosy
checked girl, or eating happiness
with a gold spoon, all these sink
into insigni6cance when fancy dane
ing comes on. But then! If q fel.

WONDERS OF NATURE.-It is q

WONDERS OF NATURE.-1t Is q
wonderful thing to look abroad over
the face of nature, and see how eve-
ry mineral, vegetable and animal
production is constituted, so as to
minister in some way to the wants
of man-to see the vegetable world
silently engaged in extracting min
eral matter from the soil and storing
them up for man, and man, impelled
by instinct, selecting these as his
own proper food-to behold not
only his own food and drink fow-
ing to him through the ever-revolv-
ing cycle of three kingdoms, but
even his most valuable ornaments
presented to him through the same
natural channel! 1t is more than
wonderful, it is sublime, to view
atom after atom of the whole crea :
tion increasingly changing place.
that man, the lord of creation, may
be abundantly supplied with all his
comforts and luxuries to see the
lilies of the field, and the insects
of the earth and air, living and dying
for man s sustenance and adornment.
True, "the lilies of the field took
no thought for the morrow" but
the unseen finger that opens their
petals to the day poi nts them out as
the appropriate food to some of the
animals whose life or death minis.
ters to man! The blooming cactus
not only charms the eye of man, and
makes the arid desert bloom as the
rose, but it furnishes food for an in
sect that lives upon it, and grows
and dies to clothe man with the
same resplendent dye.

Political Elements at Work.

A glance at the elements at work to
administer our government reveals
three kinds, /. Those acting pro-
gressivcly under the Constitution. 9.
Those acting consorvatively, and 8.
Those Ignoring the Constitution. The
tirst desire changes, progressive chang
cs, but in accordance with the provi-
, sions of the Constitution. The second
wish to preserve as long as possible the
regime already vitalizcd by the Con-
stitution, and dcprecate not only in
1levations upon the Constitution, but
oven upon the working of government
under that instrument. The last ic-
Toring the holm of the first, as well as
the mooring OF the second, would cut
loose entirely from both and launch
upon the broad and tracklcss sea of
that government which knows no
guide but the capriccs of the element
in power. This last is the party now
IN Washington. Like Henry the
Vlllthey would burn as hcretics, those
who avow the authority of the fathers
or our government, and hang as trai-
tors those who own the authority of
our Constitution. -

Governor Glen, and confirmed in 1865.
For some years measures were in con-
temptation for school or.academy ;
and in l77l q library was bequeathed
by John Mackenzie, to be used and
kept in aid forthe "Charleston Libra
rySociety," until college should be
founded. Are any books of this be-
quest thus marked yet preserved I?
The disastrous fire of January,
TITS, almost destroyed this library,
with many papers and records Of the
province and city. 1876 volumes and
pamphlets alone were rescued. The
Mackenzie Library, being separately
deposited, was nearly all saved Tho
the zeal and care of Mr.. Farian, libra
rian, who remained during the Brit
ish occupation, the library did not suf-
ferundefmilitary ruleassorely and sad
ly as books, church bells, earrings and
watches have suffered in alate age of
Christian war. A catalogue of Nov.
3, l790, records the number of vol
umes then on the shelves as 342, in adj
dition to the volumes of the Maekcn-
zie collection, then reduced to, 403.
Through, l79029l, The average of
books taken out was three each month.
In 1898 the library was reported at
$500 volumes. In 1911 the report
reached 1000 volumes and for the
catalogue of 1926, to which we may
refer again, the collection is estimated
at $4,000 volumes. +

Jefferson Davis Prison Life,

We again give some extracts from
CRAvEN's diary of ex-President DA-
vis' prison life. Every one feels Fan
interest in him. This mad fanaticism
ofpowerful and vindiotive foes blinds
them to the irresistible fact that being
what lie was,and having the honor he
had, 4oe can feel only the more honor
and sympathy for Mr.. DAVIS, the more
they oppress him.
"The unkindest cut of alp IS that a
nition 1--WE uso the word literally
which had over million men in the
field, and one poor old captive, and
that old man captive in one of the
strongest fortrcsscs they possessed, and
that fortress guarded and doublv
guarded, the mkindcst cut is that he
should have been manaclod as an al
ready condemned criminal, while he

and low crowns, rims and no rims, but
still hats. When are our eyes even

net, of course, to keep pace with the
times; but still, a bonnet q bona fdc

We don'twant coal scuttles, nor vet
bonnets without crowns, nor bonnets
with huge bags behind, nor bonnets
alternately ascending to the skies and
descending upon the nose, nor three
cornered baskets of flowers mounted

old friend, who rather roughly speaks
his mind, denominates, decent bon
net. ~,.
We are savage on hats--wOmen's
hats-which have assumed every form
and shape, until at last, we have. i'm
pressed our freed,Oome,,'s tanners, and
reversed them, over some of our lowell
est. faces. Well: it is a. strange age ;
an age of bats and cravats!
Shall we gently remind our young

we are told, that women in the church.

by Frenchmen or by Spaniards would
have seemed comparatively tolera-
bic fate. With Frenchmcn and Span
iards we had been accustomed to treat
on equal terms. We had sometimes
onvied their prosperity, sometimes
dreaded their power, sometimes con-
graduated ourselves on their friend
ship. In spite of our unsocial pride,
We We. admitted that they were great ma
tions, and that they could boast of
men eminent in the arts&of war and
peace. Butte be subjugated by an
inferior caste was a degradation be-
yond all other degradation. The
English felt as the white inhabitants
of Charleston and New Orleans would
feel if those towns were occupied by
negro garrisons. The real facts would
have been sufficient to excite uneasi-
ness and indignation; but the real
facts were lost amid crowd of wild
rumors which flew without ccasing
from coffcc-house to coffec-house, and
from alo-bcnch to ale-bench, and be-
came moro wonderful and terrible at
every stage Of the progress. The
number of the Irish troops who had
landed on our shores might justly ex-
cite serious apprehensions as to the
kings ulterior designs but it was
magnifiod ten-fold by the public appre-
tensions. 1t may well be supposed
the rude kcrne of Connaught, placed,
with arms inhis hands, among for
eign people whom he hated; and by
whom he was hated in turn, was gull
ty of some excuses. These exccsscs
were exaggerated by report; and, in
addition to the outrages which the
stranger had really committed, all the
offences of his English comrades were
set down to his account. From every
corner Of the kingdom cry arose
against the foreign barbariaps who
forced themselves into private houses,
seized horses and wagons, extorted
money, and insultcd women.

History Repeats Itself.

Our attention has been called to
that portion Of MACAULEy's History of
England in which he describes the GAR
risoning of England with Irish troops.
lt requires no stretch of the imacina-
ton to run parallel between it and
our own experience, especially since
the great historian has illustrated the
huge error of JAMES the Second bv
pointing to this country for an exam
pie. What MAcAULEY barely conceiv-
cd merely to show what Englishmen
felt, has really happened, and now all
the South can read that part of Ma
cAULEY with an interest severely felt.
But here is the extrac,. q"
OF the many errors which James
committed, none was more fatal than
this. Already he had alienatcd the
hearts of his people by violating their
laws, confiscating their estates, and
prosecuting their religion. OF those
who had once been most jealous for
monarchy, he had already made many
rebels in hearts; yet he might still,
with some chance of success, have apI
pealed to the patriotic spirit tof his
subjects against an INVADER, for they
were 9race ipsular in temper as well,
aia in @slgraphical position. Their
~. t'aE6 Aatipathies, were indeed, in
that age, unreasonably and uhamiabIy
strong. They had never been accus-
toned to thc'control or interference of
any stranger.
