BETTER THAN ALL.-The most interest
Ing card in to-daIs paper is the special
cash notice of Messrs. Carwile & Nc
Caughrin, wherein they say that hereaf

step in the right direction, and if 1t is only
followed by others it will be a great bcs-

Pile will save the country if any thing
will, and Messrs. Carwilc & Mclaughlin

ALAS FOR THE FooLs.--The Newberry

that the Fool killer is on hisyway to Clin-

of cur citizens the Herald gives the sig
nifcant warning Hide in your holes, ye

timely warning. -.
P. S. No. 2. On second thought we
think ourselves secure for little while
longer, as it will take an awful long time
for the fool-killer to get through his work
at New berry.
In tender sympathy We would advise,
that it is "best not to halloo till out Of
the wood" for there is no telling what
may happen till the danger be safely
over. From an accurate census made
for this town, since the stampede on last

there are only six cases here at present
who are liable to fall victims to the wrath

but the reasonable supposition is that
they "gophered" along the road, some Of

The following note too from the gentle

be so lawful long after all.

The Absurdity Of Drinking.

1t has become q sort Of popular-almost
national-faith that it is not possible to be
truly happy unless you drink. Among GER
tain classes-and they are by no means
exclusively the lowest-drink is the begin
ming and end of everything. The very
name of liquor is held to be synonymous
with enjoyment, and the dearer the liquor
the more it is priced and coveted. Yet
every man who is not downright drunk
ard is we'll aware that the pleasures Of
drinking are, beyond certain point, a
mockew, delusion, and snare. put it
to any one who has stood half the night at
bar or sat half the night in club-room,
drinking, smoking, aud bandying reckless
talk, if the enjoyment of such an evening
has been anything like that Of a few quiet
hours spent at home with a book or news
paper? The evil influence Of tavern plea
sure on the heath is too obvious to be
denied by any one, and the illusory nature
of the pleasures themselves would be un-
deniable also if the persons who indulge in
them did not deceive themselves and put
the truth out of sight.
No one ever brought any good out of
drinking bout yet. 1t is short, feycriSh
spasm of animal enjoyment, which leaves
nothing behind but morosenesS, regret, bad
temper, self-reproach, and headache. l
should like to ask you, sir, if you say your
prayers when you come home in that
state? No-you don't. You are ashamed
to say them. You postpone them until
you have purged yourself. your mind, and
your lips by more sober and rational beha-
vior. Next night, when you pass the
hours quietly at home with book or q
friend, you feel that you have had real en-
ioyment, and that the time has passed
pleasantly, that you have learned some
thing, and that you have not injured your
health. You are not ashamed to say your
prayers, and you get up next morning
with clear head a good appetite, and an
Increased faculty for work and enjoyment
Of life.

RICHARD WATSON IN A HURRY.-About
sixty years since, Richard Watson had
agreed to preach two occasional sermons
at Leicester. He was in London at the
time. and the mail from London did not
arrive in Leicester until halfpaSt IL,
while the services began at half-past 10
so that he would be one hour too late. He
therefore took the Coventry mail on Satur-
day afternoon. Coventry is twenty-six
miles from Leicester. He could thus be in
time. But the coach broke down, so that it
did not arrive in Coventry until after 9
O'Clock on Sunday morning. He went to
the inn-keeper, whom he knew well,
and told him he must be in Leicester
at half-past 10, and wanted saddled
horse. He said he had horse which he
thought would do it, but he dare not let
him have it, for he was sure TO run away
with him. Mr.. Watson told him that was
Just the horse he wanted. 1t was brought,
and he tarted at half-past 8 o'clock.
When he got on the Leicester road the
horse ran away with him. Mr.. Watson
said to him: elf you are in hurry, I am
in hurry, too; you may go ahead" And
he did go, never stopping until he got
within mile of Leicester. Here the
y, nrse slackene,i his pace. Mr.. Watson re-
MINI ed him that he was in hurry, and
he start.d him up again so that he got to
the chapel Just in time. The owner of
r q horse was M. rch obliged to Mr.. Wat
son. for the horse never ran away after
that
