THE HONE JOURNAL Since the decease
of Mr.. Willis, from whose marked indivi-
duality the Home Journal took such a
brilliant coIoring, arrangements have
been made for the continued efficiency
ofits editorial staff by the addition of
several gentlemen vino have for some
time had large share in its interests.
The Home Journal will hereafter be
owned and edited by George Perry,
j. Fl. Elliot and Morris Phillips, under,
the firm Of Morris Phillips & Go. Mr..
Perry has been a frequent and valuable
contributor in the department oflitcrature
and arr, whose essays, sketches and
poems have been favorably received by
the public. Mr.. Elliot was special
favorite Of the late editor, for his poetical
writings and other productions of his pen,
and Mr.. Phillips has been chiefly de-
voted TO the business concerns Of the
paper. The recent numbers Of the Home
Journal have contained many interesting
personal "reminiscences Of Mr.. Willis,

FOE THE HERALD.

Mr.. EDIToR.-Botn you and the read
ers Of your paper who arc interested in
the Bible work, in South Carolina, will, I
trust, be gratiied to learn that applica-
E,tions for donations of Bibles and Testa.
mcnts, are coming in every day from va
riouS portions Of the State. During this
month applications for books from auxili-
aries and others have been received
amounting in all to over two thousand,
(2000) copies. From July 1st, 1865, to
March 3lst, 1866, the American Bible
Society sent into this State, donations of
books amounting to 1858 volumes,
to auxiliaries and other Bible distri5u-
tors. Since 1865, and up to this time,
1867, I have sent every month to the
American Bible Society for large: sup
plies of books. This Society cheerfully
fills all ofmy orders. It is the earnest
desire ofthis Society that every destitute
reader in South Carolina, should possess
copy Ct the Holy Scriptures. What u
wonderful Society. 1t looks to me like
fabric of Providence. May God bless
this time honored and Catholic Institu-
ton. ..>.. $50.
Owing to the impoverished condition
of the country, find it difficult to make
collections. As I am supplying all aux
iliaries and others in this State with do,
nations of Bibles and TestamentS, for
gratuitons distribution among the poor
and destitute in the Districts of this
State, and to do this work with system,
am obliged to travel over the different
Rail Roads, ard as freight is paid upon
the boxes of books by the parties receiv-
ing them, I think it very hard that l
should be made 10 pay my passage to
and fro over the Rail Roads, when l am
laboring for the public good, and when
so many men representing causes not
religious, and of much less interest for
the public welfare, are favored with com
plimentary tickets. | say it to the honor
ofthe patriotic presidents of the Char
lotte & South Carolina, Kings Mountain,
North Eastern and DaringtonRail Roads,
that they have expressed themselves as
considering my work of paramount i'm
portance, and hence pass me free over
their roads. As l am the only Bible
Agent in South Carolina, why cannot all
of our Railroads pass me free on my holy
mission. Do they ignore the Bible? l
hope not. write now so that all of our
Bible friends and Rail Road Managers in
South Carolina may have the opportunity
of hearing from me.
With esteem and regard,
Most truly yours,
E. A. BOLLES, Agent.

the spring trade. The facilities enjoyed By
the Charleston merchants, the constant ac-
cession Of fast sailing packets and steamers
to the various foreign and domestic lines,
and the growing opulence of trade with
many communities Of the South, enables
them to rival the trade of other commercial
centres. Charleston, geographically, is ell
giole as an entre-pot, for vast commercial
relations, and she is destined to become a
great and fourishing emporium. By deal
ing there, our metropolis is built up, the
State prospers in direct ratio, and large
economy Of time and means is the result.

Washington News.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-Cooper's mi
noritv South Carolina murder report
saws it is true that Generals Thomas,
Sickles, Wood, and Baird in their testi-
mony state that the courts do not ad-
minister full and impartial justice where
Union men, soldiers, and freedmen are
the litigants; but then in answer to a
direct question, furnish but one case in
Tennessee, one in Mississippi at Grenada,
one in Louisiana, and none in Virginia
(except the Watson case,) or in North
Carolina or Florida, Georgia or Alabama.
All testify explicitly that no fault can be
found with the Governors Of the respec-
tive States, or the high officials, or the
Judges of the Supreme courts, or inteili-
gent, weil-inforrned citizens. General
Scofeld testifies that negroes aTraigned
for crime are dealt with leniently rather
than harsnly. The genera feeling of
respectable people in Virginia is pity for
the freedmen. The report takes strong
grounds against the policy and constitu-
ttionality Of the proposed military govern
mentS.
The amendment abolishing the cotton
tax was rejected by Go to 81.

T A YOUNG LADY returning to her
country home, after a soiourn of few
months in the City, was hardly recognised
by her friends. In place of a coarse, rustic,
flushed face, she had soft ruby complexion
of almost marble smoothness, and instead of
twenty. three she really appeared but eighteen.
Upon inquiry as to the cause of so great
change, she plainly told them that she used
the CIRCASSIAN BALM, and considered it
an invaluable acquisition to any Lady,s tol-
let. By its use any lady or gentleman can
improve their personal appearance an huns
dred fold. 1t is simple in its combination, as
Nature herself is simple, yet unsurpassed in
its efficacy in drawing impurities from, also
healing, cleansing and beautifying the skin
and complexion. By its direct action on the
cuticle it draws from it all its impurities,
kindly healing the same, and leaving the sur
face as Nature intended it should be, clear,
soft, smooth and beautiful. Price 81, sent by

4 PUNcTUALITT.-Be., punctual in all
things up to time. 1t is a cardinal vir-
tue, and without it, success is uncertain.
The punctual man is an honest man, he
values his word and his time, and regards
that of others.F His promises are kept to
the letter, he can be relied on. Some
may blunder on, in sort of hap hazard
way and strike a successful vein, but
in the main a lack of punctuality will
never bring a man through at the right
end of the horn. True as gospel. Show
US one of this character, and he is always
behind time, in drag, ever in a hurry,
has several irons in the fire at once may
be, but strikes them all at the wrong time.
There is no system in his strikes, and ne
yer made ten strike in his life, except
bv accident. The great secret is he is
not punctual, half hour later makes but
little difference, it can be made up, as
there are so many hours in the day to-
morrow will do as we'll as to day, neZt
week as this. Its all one, come day, 60
day. no matter, where's the use oftroub-
ling ones self, fifty years hencei it will be
all the same. To be sure young man,
that looks like the easiest way to shuttle
through life, but it is the hardest in the
end, and its dishonest. Think of the trou-
BILE and annoyance to others, in not keep
ing your promise as to time, that busi-
ness appointment, to pay debt, or some
thing else, in which you either failed en-
tirelY, or were too late in. All, there it
is, too late if the habit is followed
faithfully you'll be late to bed, late to
rise, late to business-which gets into a
snarl,-late to meals,-and wife grows
sour-late for tourney, late to church,
and ten chances TO one too late for Hea-
ven! Poor, late fellows. how much to be
pitied. The early bird catches the worm,
the late get no tit bits, no worms. Were
it possible to make trip to the moon,
in an air ship, and only one, to settle the
question whether it be made Of green
cheese, and if so ifvolcanic, and notice
given through the Herald, (by the way
one of the best advertising mediums IN
the country,) that this ship would start
on its aerial voyage to the distant beyond
of doubt, at haif-past ten Of specified
morning, and that each passenger must
have his boots polished or be excluded,
the late man would put off the necessary,
the all-important polishing till the last
whistle of warning blew, and hurry of
just in time to see slip and passengers
soar away to the clouds, leaving him in a
perspiration of vexation and shame. Too
late, too late.
