1 Always Pay My Debts.

There: had been a sad failure in
our community. A prominent
business man was obliged to sus-
pend payment and give up his
business. Investigation showed
he had not been prompt in his
dealings. He never paid his little
debts, and at length they so &C
cumulated that they brought on
the sad crisis. -
A~pronpt business man, speak
ing of the affair, said: "It is nm
pardonable. The man ought to
fail. He should have paid, his
debts when he could. I always
pay my debts as I 60 along, and
so I always know where I stand,
1 have not a single debt" hecon-
tinued:
A friend standing by, gently
placeda hand on his arm, saying
."You mistake, Mr.. H ----; l
know debt that you owe."
lit is FALSE was the quick re-
ply. II challenge you or any one
else, to put a finger upon cent
that l owe."
"But I can do it" continued his
friend. II know of One who lent
you the fine house to live in, the
money you have in the bank, all
the riches by which you, are sur
rounded, and call them your own.
More than this, He gave you
health and friends. How much
have you ever paid Him ?"
"Ah that is a different thing.
1 don't think about such things;
but I always pay every cent l owe
to my fellow men,"
i'You are like the merchant who
pays all his little debts and lets
the great ones 60, and then boasts,
II always pay my debts"
Ny friend, the great debt Of
gratitude is yet unpaid. Take
care lest the Master cast thee into
prison. Thou "shalt not come
from thence until thou hast paid
the uttermost farthing."
The Newberry herald. [volume] (Newberry, S.C.) 1865-1884, 1868-03-04
WEDNESDAY MORNING, MARCH 4, 1868.

physical exertion the source of
wealth is gone, and with it must
60 the exemption from labor, and
much Of the luxury Of higher edu-
cation. The learned professions,
so-called, always crowded, have
become so overstocked that in
many cases they yield but a pre-
carious subsistence. The clergy
are ill-paid +; many Of them are
not paid at all. The physicians
find but little paying practice.
Not over one-fourth their number
can now depend on their profess
ion for a livelihood. The lawyers,
perhaps, have enough to do for
the present. But once the suits,
arising from the war: are settled,
we opine that their ranks also
will have to be greatly tbinned.
We all know how many at the
close Of the war resorted to trade
as means Of support. Merchants
sprung up like mushrooms over
night. Every village had shops
by the score every railroad sta
ton, and every country cross
roads had its "store." How many
of these are in existence now :?
How many Of their proprietors
have fled petitions for bankrupt
cy, and. how many more will DO
so in. the course Of the present
year Z? "Clerks" we know are
out of employment, by thousands,
everywhere.
This sad array Of facts should
teach the great lesson that society
has undergone a radical change,
and that we must adapt ourselves
to the new order of things or we
are lost. We must lay hold with
our hands. We must make the
most of the ''labor'- God has given
us, our own hands and others
will soon emulate our example.
The salvation of the State de-
pends upon every man going to
work, and using all his influence
to make every other man, white
or black, 90 and do likewise.

ative Of the oldest royal family in

his numerous wives was asked to,
save the honor ofthe Sesodia clan,
the head Of which never burned
alone, but all refused. His favorite
slave-girl was then appealed to by
her own brother, who pointed to
the fact that his masters lawful
queens had shamelessly given her
an honor, and the opportunity of
attaining a renown in the songs of
the bats, it were madness to neg
lect. She consented, and this was:

of all the loyal subjects of estate..
one and all, high and low, rich and :,

vast multitude was allowed to ride,
and she had but a short time to
live. Mounted on a gorgeously
caparisoned horse; herself richly
attired as for a festive occasions,
literally covered with jewels and
costly ornaments; her hair loose
and IN disorder; her whole eoun-e
tenance wild with the excitement
Of the scene and the intoxicating
effects: of the drugs she had swal,%
lowed-she issued forth with the
body. AS customary on such .oc-~
casions, the victim, as the process
sion moved on, unclasped the orna-
ments with which she was pro-
,fusely decorated. andaun -UUe1n--
to the right and to the left amongst
the crowd: On reaching the place:
of suttee, in space closed by tent
walls the CORPSE was unrobed, and
the slave-girl, seating herself with
the head of the lifeless body in her
lap, was built up, as it were, with
wood steepedin Oil. Thee kanats ~
or canvas walls were then removed,
and the pyre lighted; and, as the
fame shot up bright and fierce,
the crowd around raised a great
clamor, which lasted until the.
dreadful scene was over. L is sa-
tisfactory to learn that this poor
slave-girl was the lastPubiic sutt@e.
Since that time the Mabarao of,

of his wives who was anxious TO
be consumed with him was pre-
vented by his son, the present

Post Of the Goth says:
Among the cases to be tried be-
fore the United States Circuit
Court, is one against Albert Cook,
Isaac Loot, Charles G Thurman:
and Elisha Taylor, the United
States being plaintiff. Mr. Cook
was Postmaster of his village, in
Kendall County, for a time, but
becoming tired of it, resigned his
position. His resignation, being
accepted, orders were sent for him
to send his postage stamps and
accounts by express to headquar-:
tcrs. He did SO, but shortly after
received notice that the account
was eight cents short, to which be
paid no attention. Seeing notice
that himself and bondsmen were,
implicated in a suit he at once,
hurried to Chicago, and, employ
ing counsel, went to the Court
room and found that the Post
master-General had sued him for
eight cents! He further discoV-
cred that the clerks cost had reach
ed $40, and the State Attorneys
S., and that the Marshal was pre-
pairing to visit him at Kendall
County, which would add s2s more
to the costs. Mr.. Cook confessed
