way through one OF the best OF our North
crn colleges, graduating With honor, leav-
ing It's classic halls With that manly in
dependence Of character which is dcvel-
opcd by sclf-reliancc, hard study and
hard work, in overcoming the cmbarrass-
lncnts OF poverty. He has never been
dandlcd in tho lap Of incidence and lux
ury, nor rolled in wealth earned by the
sweat and toll Of unpaid laborcrs. He
knows by experience how to earn an
honest living, and how to sympalhizc
with those who arc able and willing to
earn the bread they eat, if only allowed
a fair chance for success III the great
struggle OF life. In the present state Of
affairs in otr city, the time has come
when the working merchant, mechanic,

the burdens Of the municipal government.
We cannot longer rely upon the hoard

in the terrible ruins Of tho war. It is
only BY industry and economy that our
city can arise from ita ashes, and again

A Wife's Influence.

Judge O'Neal, in the Yorkvile Inquirer, tells
the following Of Judge VIM. Smith, Of South
Carolina:
He had the rare blessing to win the love Of
Of one Of the purest, mildest and best women,
whose character has ever been present TO tho
writer He married Margaret Duff In his
worst days she never upbraided him by word,
look or gesture, but always met him as if ho
as one Of the kindest and best Of husbands.
This course on her part humbed him, and made
him weep Ike child, This sentence, it is
hoped will be remembered, was the language
Of Judge Smith % the friend already named;
and 10 those who know the stern, unbending
character Of the Judge it will teach lesson Of
how much patient wumau's love and devotion
can do, as he himself told it:
"The evening before the Return Day Of the
Court Of Common Pleas for the York District,
a client called with fifty notes to be put 10
suit. Mr. Smith was not in bis oftice-he was
on what is now fashionably called a spree
then a frolic. Mrs Smith received the notes,
and sat down in the Office 10 the work Of issu
ing the writs and processes. She spent tho
night at work-Mr Smith in rotous living
At daylight, on bis way home from bis carou-
sails, he saw light in bis Office and stepped in,
and TO his great surprise saw his amiable wife,
who had just completed what ought TO have
been his work. with her head on the table, and
asleep. His entry awoke her. She told him
what she had done. and showed him her nights
work-ffty writs and processes. This bowed
tue strong man, he fell on bis knees, impiored
pardon. and then promised her never 10 drink
another drop while he lived. This PROMISE
SAYS my friend Col Williams, he faithfully
kept and said tie Judge 10 him. from that
Jav everything touched turned to gold. -
" His entire success in life, says Col. Williams,
:" he Sc, down TO his faithful Observance Of this
noble promise"
.No better culogy could be pronounced on
Mrs. Smith than has just been given in the
words Of her distinguished husband. The re-
formation Of such a man as William Smith is a
chapet of glory which few woman have been
permitted to wear. To the people Of South
Carolina, and especially Of York district, GER
tainly no stronger argument in favor Of tens
perance. total abstinence, need be given"

The LaugL Of Woman.

A woman has no natural gift more bewitch-
ing t,au a swee, laugh. It is like the sound
Of flutes on the water It leaps from her IN
clear, sparkling rill; and the heart that hears
il feels as if bathed in the cool, e1hilerating
spring Have you ever pursued all unseen
fugitive through the trees, led on BY larry
laugh, now there now lost, now ioundP We
have and we are pursuing that wandering
voice to this day. Sometimes, it comes TO us
in the midst Of care or sorrow, or irksome
business and then We turn away the evil spirits
Of the mind. How much We owe to thatsweet
laugh II turns prose to poetry; it hInss
flowers 70 the sunshine over tie darkness Of the
wood In which We arc travelling; II touches
With light eTen orr sIeep, which Is no more
than the ip.agc OF ,:sa,b, but it consumed with
