PoL1cY.-Nothing annoys man more
than to be eagerly questioned when he
comes, home tired. Give him a neatly
served dinner, or pair of easy slippers
and cup of tea, and let him eat and drink
in peace, and in time he will tell you of his
own proper motion all you wish to know.
But if you begin at the tack too soon, the
chances are that you will be rewarded by
curtly-spoken monosyllables. Put down
that piece of wisdom in your note book,
girls; it will serve you we'll some day.

The Child's Paper.

GIVING THE HEART.-"Mother," said a
little boy, who had only numbered three
summers, 'swhat does it mean to give your
heart to God?"
The mother put down her sowing, and
looking at her boy, said: "Charlie, do you
love anybody?"
With look of surprise, the child ans
wered, II love you; I love my father, my
sister and Henry"
''Then you give your heart to your father,
to Henry, to your sister, and to me; and
you show that love by doing all you can for
US, and obeying our commands"
The child's face looked bright with a
new thought.
"And you ought" continued the mother,
Go love God best, because He gave you
your father and mother, and all your friends
and comforts, and He gave you His dear
Son, Jesus Christ, who came from Heaven
to die, that you may live forever"
GIVE Your CHILD A PAPER.-A child
beginning to read becomes delighted with
a newspaper, because he reads of names and
things which are familiar, and he progress
es accordingly. A newspaper in one year
is worth quarters schooling to child.
Every father must consider that intorma-
ton is connected with advancement. The
mother of family, being one of its heads
and having more immediate charge OF chill,

Terrible Death-Bsd Scene.

death, in Patterson, n. j, OF Ir. Ecker

following additional facts; a neighbor
who was engaged holding Mr.. Eckerson
after the symptoms Of hydrophobia be

incident of the last scenes. Just before

from violent spasmodic struggles, Mr..
Eckerson desired to see his wife before
his death. Requiring from four to six
men to hold him ali the time, of course

which was foaming all the while from

not to ask to sec again. he bade her
last adieu. The strong men who gazed

they saw the dying map. who with lips
s,ill compressed, signified the necessity
OF being removed again from her presence

MEssRs. EDITORS You should have been
at Ruff's last Saturday. The pic>nic was
one of the most enjoyable that have at
tended in a very long time. About two hun.
ored ladies and gentlemen were present,
who did ample justice to al! the good thing )
that were so bonntifully provided. All went
in for good time and had it. There was
coed music provided, and the devotees to
the nimble GODDESS Terpsichore had such a
time as they must remember with pleasur,
for long season. The gentlemen were all
that the district is noted for in respect to
gallantry and We stand ready to avouch !,
without fear, of our judgment being dis
credited that the ladies cannot be surpassed
by any such gathering in any other district.
They were remarkable for their beauty, and
exhibited great taste in dress, so that as
they whirled through the giddy mazes of the
enchanting and bewldering waltz and other
dances, they presented to the gaze such an
enchanting spectacle as is only to be imag-
iued after reading some fairy tale. Truly,
dancing is the poetry of motion.

Newspaper Writers.

Few imagine the responsibilities and

the Wilmington Star, and fewer still are
anxious 70 oeStow praise where is due.
or TO withhold ccnsure where it would
be proper to 80 do. Many gentlemen Of
leisure, unable themselves to pen o
grammatical phrase, are quite ready TO
rriticise unsparinsly. and to acidu!ate
their critical remarks with scorn
that reflects little credit ON their
heart and less Oh their head.
lie who writes for a newspaper must
often form opinions without time for
reflection. aml write paragraphs with
out the opportunity Of revision. BE
must frequently write of that which he
only partially understands, and must
equally often eject from his mind arti-

ton would Improve.
In truth, often his labors arc exposed
to the perciieSs criticism of those who
TOO willingly ccnSure without regard to
proprie,y, and too eagerly deny credit
without respect to justice.
When it is remembered the press gen.
orally relics on report for its information,
it can scarcely be supposed that its au-
:thority should always be beyond the
impu,ation of incorrectness, or its juGg-
suent always prove unerring.

of newspaper articles has few minutes

and but small compass to display ac-

stice, be supposed that he should never
fail, where failure is imminent, and sue

And when one dwells on the magni-

it is not startling that he occasionally

PERSONAL.

Gen. A. C. Darlington left yesterday for
his new sphere of usefulness in Atlantis,
Ga, taking with him the warmest wishes Of
his numerous friends in this district for his
happiness and prosperity in his future
home. who at the same time profoundly
regret that circumstances should have been
so ordered as to call him from our midst.
Gen. Darlington is young man still in
the prime Of life, and one OF the brightest
Of the legal profession in our State. We
understand that he proposes to prosecute
his profession in Georgia. Ee has a bril-
liant intellect, and logical powers Of rea-
son combined with mature judgment, and
undoubtedly is destined to occupy a for
ward position in the legal fraternity of that
State.
Gen G. has occupied prominent posi-
tion in this State during the last sixteen or
eighteen years, during which time he rep
resented Newberry District in the State
Legislature-in the House and in the Sem
ate. During the war he held high official
positions both civil and military, and after
its close received the endorsement of his
old Constituency by being returned again
to the Legislature, the last Of the OLD re-
gime in South Carolina. He leaves US with
a record clean and bright as public man.
and as private citizen without spot or
blemish. We hope, and indeed feel as
sured, that his career in our sister State
will be as useful and honorable as it has
been here, and that success will crown his
efforts there to repair the losses which be
sustained by the war.
We regret his departure from among u.s.
The loss that our community and State sus.
tains, is quite an acquisition to Georgia.
We wish him a hearty Cod.speed in the
pursuit of happiness and prosperity.

Double liues Of railway, third rail in
single lines and various other devices
have been suggested and tried for the
purpose of arranging through freightins
facilities from the Atlantic sea board to
the Western interior without breaking
bulk. This has finally been accomplished
5y very cheap, and of course, simple
invention. Last week, a train of twelve
cars loaded With merchandise for Chi
eago, St. Louis, &C., started from Bos-
ton, via the Grand Trunk and connec-
ting lines. The wheels are made to
shift on the axle to the width of any
required guase, being liked in the nee
essary place by keys, which are easily
removed when it becomes needful 10
shift guase at any station. A large
number Of cars are in construction on
this plan, which can, of course, be ap-
piled as we'll to passenger as to freight
carriage. 1t looks like another "leap
ahead. N. Y. Times.

PASTE THIS IN Your HAr.-Pay your
debts soon as you get the money in
your pocket. Do without what you
don't need. Speak your mind when
necessary. Hold your tongue when
prudent. Speak to friend in seedy
coat. If you can't lend man money,
tell him why. you don't want to, do
the same. Cut acqnaintauces who lack
principle. Bear with infrmities but not
with vices. Respect honesty, despise
duplicity. Wear your old clothes till
you can pay for new ones. Aim at

pretend knowledge you haven't got.

A WARS1NG.-A Western paper gives

"The people at this season should look
out for the large worm which infests
the tomato vines. Its sting is deadly
poison. 1t is of green color, two or
three inches long. and as large as a mans
finger. At Red Greek, Wayne County,
a few days ago, a servant girl, while
gathering tomatoes, received puncture
from one of these worms, which created
q sensation similar to that of bee sting.
In short time the poison penetrated to
every part Of her system. and she was
thrown into spasms which ended in

Health in the School-Room.

sometimes from neglect of exercise;
sometimes from too long confinement in

times from ovcr-excitement and over
study, sometimes from breathing bad
air; sometimes from being kept too
warm or too cold. Now the teacher
should be an Intelligent Psychologist;

man system can bear and what it can

subjects which are too great for its

badly ventilated school room; and then,
