READ1NG.-A taste for good reading
has long been observed as one of the
most cffectual safeguards to young men
against vice and crime. In the first place,
it serves to give employment in those
hours of leisure and freedom from work
which would be likely otherwise worse
than wasted. TO the young man WHO
has no taste for reading, the evening hours
become loaded with temptation. 1t is
tiresome to sit moping by the stove, and
he naturally drifts to the tavern, the sa-
loon. or the billiard and card table. There
he finds others like himself, with vacant
hours to while away, and thus grow up
those habits and associations which soon
eventuatc in dissipation or lead TO crime.
We doubt if one instance in 4 thousand
can be found of young mans making
shipwrcck of hopes and character who
was accustomed to spend his evenings at
home reading good books and we say to
any parent that a we'll stocked library
and an abundant supply of newspapers
and magazines, with the habit of reading
on the part of your boy, is worth more to
keep him out of mischief, and to make o
man of him, than any other single lnfiu-
encc at your command.
Again, tho habit of reading confers
positive strength anu elevation of charac-
ter. The weIl-read man IS usually the
well-informed man. Reading is the great
stimulus of thinking. The Instances are
rare of q great writer and thinker who
was not himself a great reader. There is
no stimulus of the mind Sc powerful as
communion with other minds. The mass
of young men, especially of the working
mechanic and trading classes, need th!s
mental excitement TO preserve symme-
try and equipoisc of character. The far
mer is in danger of having his thoughts
fall too much into the routine of his daily
life A good book or newspaper expands
them. sets them to work upon other top
les. and gives them wider scope. The
mechanic, after mastering the details OF
his business and pertccting himself in it,
ought TO leave his trade with his tools
when he goes home at night, and in good
reading find wider cultivation OF his
whole nature The trader who allows his
mind TO run constantly upon his business
soon becomes narrow one-slded man:
He too. needs to get out Of his rut and
rive his thoughts wider range. 10 all
Of these the book, tho magazine, and
the newspaper is nccessity.-Ldwreas

The LAST CONFEDERATE PRISONER
On yesterday there was in this city
man who claims to be q Confederate
States soldier, just returning to his home.
His story, if it be true, is certainly
strange one. He gives his name US W.
A. Elcrson, and says that he was men,
Der of Cobb's Legion during the war.
He is young looking man, apparently
twenty-three or four years old, and has
lost both his right leg and his right eye.
His story is, that he isa native of Jackson
county, in this State, and that he joined
Cobb's Legion soon after the breaking
out of hostilities. He served with that
command up to the battle of Gettysburg,
in the Summer of 1868, where he lost his
leg and eye, and was taken prisoner.
From the time Of his capture up to the
surrender of the Confederate armies in
1865, lie was confined in military prison
at Elmira, New York. Released when
the war terminated, he started home, but
stopping few days in New York city,
he got himself into a difficulty, witch
postponed his visit home for four years.
Stumping along the streets with his
wooden leg one day he was cursed by
negro for a damned rebel Johnnies
spirit was not completely subdued by his
long confinement, and drawing knife as
quick as thought, he plunged the blade
into the body Of cufy and stretched him
dead in the street: Of course he was
Immediately arrested and incarcerated
for second time. His trial for murder
followed in few days, and James L:
Brady, the great Now York lawyer, at
fected by the situation of the soldier,
volunteered in his defence. He was con-
victed of manslaughtcr, bat through the
excrtons of his counsel, and his own pc
culiar situation, the Court only sentenced
him to four years Imprisonment in the
Blackwell Island Penitentiary. He ser7-
ed here until few days since, when his
time expired and he was released. He
made his way to this place and was fur
nished by the city authorities yesterday
with free transportation to Athens, which
is not far from his home in Jackson coun-
ty.-NronicEe and Sentinel.

Col. SroBo FARRow-We learn by pri-
vate letter that the above named gentle
man has removed from this State, and To-
Gated in Atlanta, Ga, and entered upon
the practice of the lava great loss to
Spartanburg, but valuable accession to
the bar of Atlanta. Col. F., after his
graduation at the South Carolina College,
Commenced life as the editor OF the Spar
tanburg Express. This position he filled
with marked ability until the year 1867,
when he was elected Commissioner in
EQUITY for his District, By large maJorl-
ty over his competitor, Judge Vernon
At the beginning Of the war, he entered
the Confederate army as captain, and
rising in quick succession to the rank OF
colonel, he made record as an army
officer of which he and his native District
may we'll feel proud. At the close OF the
war Colonel F. resigned the office of Com
missioner, and became a practitioner at the
Spartsnburg Bar. There he met with
thst degree of success which only cnlarg-
ed experience sound judgment and rare
ability, could command. We heartily
wish the Colonel even larger measure OF
success at his new homo, but we would
much prefer that he had remained in old
Carolina, where he had already place
and name that others of more mature
wears might envy.-Abberdte Banner.

Ir Is DARK.-Thc following beautiful
sentiments arc from Meister karPs
Sketch book, entitled the Might of
Heaven" 1t is full of touching tender
ness "It is dark when tho honest and
honorable man sees the results of years
swept cruelty away by the knavish and
hcartless adversary. 1t is dark when he
feels the clouds of sorrow gather round,
and knows thai tho hopes and happiness
of others arc fading with his own. But
in that hour the memory of past integrity
will be u true consolation and assure him
even here on earth Of CLEANS OF light IN
Heaven. 1t is dark when the dear voice
of that sweet child once fondly loved, IS
no more heard in murmurs. Dark when
the patterng feet no mc:c resound with
out the threshold, or ascend step by step
I'm stairs. Dark when some we'll known
air recalls the strains once oft attuned to
n childish voice now hushed in death
Darlness-bnt only the gloom which now
horalds the Day-spring of immortality,
and tho infinite light of Heaven.

AN ACT OF HERoIsM IN PRESENCE OF
TWO ARMIES. the battle Of New Hope
Church, fought late in May, 1864; an in
cidept occurred that attracted the atten-
ton and elected the praise of :wo gallant
armies. This incident is rather obscurely
limited at, in an otherwise admirable no.
ticc of the late Col. VIM. Fl. Martin, OF
the Confederate army, which appeared in
a recent number of your paper.
In the battle referred TO, the Federals
along one portion of the line had met
with disastrous repulsc. The ground
as is always the case in pine forests-was
covered with fallen leaves. These had
been set on fire during the action, and the
repulse of the Federals having been sud
den and decisive, they necessarily left
their wounded who lay thick in all por-
tions of the woods, exposed to more
terrible ordeal than that of battle merely.
They were about to die in the flames,
when Col. Martin, taking the lead him
self ordered his men from their fortiica-
tions, when with switches they whipped
out the fire. At the time they left their
position, heavy firing from the restored
Federal line was going on, but OF course
this ceased so soon as it became manifest,
that the Confederates were engaged IN
work of humanity to their fallen enemies.
AS we have stated, this act upon the
part of Col Martin was for a while the
common topic of conversation in two
great armies, and there are very many
Who will remcmberitd distinctly. One who
knew all things deep and true, and sad
and strange in human life, has said that
the word aHonor" is made lying slave
on many tomb, while it is often dumb
over the resting place "of honored bones
indeed" That it may not be thus with
Col. Martin, whose unknown grave is in
the sands of far, foreign river, we seek,
in simple Justice to his memory, to recall
a gentle and knightly incident of his life,
Which cleaned out like a star from tho
deep murk and gloom of a sangulnary
war.

THOMAS JoRDAN.-The people of the
South will not shed many oceans OF tears
over the disappointment and failures OF
Thomas Jordan, quondam chief-of.staff to
the peerless Boauregard, and now fllbus-
ter among "the orange groves and vIne-
clad hills of one of Coumbia's most love-
ly isles"
This man Jordan is an officer of talent,
and performed good service nnder the ILL
stared flag of our lost, but not unloved,
Confederacy But, the war ended, he
must crafty some old personal spite by
writing shameless article for the more
shameless Harper's Magazine, in which
he vili6es his fallen chief, Jefferson Davis,

Mr. Davis may have committed errors:
He doubtless did, But they were "errors
of the head-not of the heart" and the
ex-Contedcrate who coald hurl at him the
envenomed spear of SANDER and detrac.
ton while suffering in the prison-house OF
tyranny, for the cause he loved SO we'll, is
not the man to retain the respect OF even
those Southern men who could not fully
endorse the policy OF MI. DAVIS.
General Jordan's article in Harper's
Magazine was doubtless the result Of dis
appointed ambition. He probably meas
ured his abilities by higher standard
than Mr.. Davis did, But he can offer no
justification for his coarse and vulgar at
tack on his unfortunate chief. Now, he
has been disappointed again. He went to
Cuba, it is said, with the fond expecta..
tion of being made second in command
of the Cuban rebels; but that position has
been denied him. And, should he escape
the clutches of the Spanish troops, and
return to the United States, we shall
doubtless be regaled with another charac-
terstic Magazine article from his worm!

GIVE Your CHILD A LOCAL PApER.-A
child beginning TO read becomes delight
ed with anewspaper, because he reads the
names of persons and I'd things which are
very familiar, and will make progress ac-
cordingly. A newspaper in one year is
worth a quarters schooling to child, and
every father must consider that substan-
tial information is connected with ad
vancemcnt. Tho mother of a family be-
ing one of the head, and having more
immediate charge Of the children, should
herself be instructed. A mind occupied,
becomes fortified against the ills of life,
and is braccd against any emergency.
Children, amused by reading or study,
are of course more considorato and more
easily governed. How many parents who
have not got twenty dollars for books for
thoir families would have given hundreds
TO reclaim son or daughter who had ig-
norantiy or thoughtlossly fallen into tomp-
tation.

WHO is A GENrIEMAN?--A gentleman
is not merely person acquainted with
certain forms and etiquette of life. easy
and selfpossessed in society, able to speak
and act and move in the world without
awIiwardness, and free from habits which
are vulgar and in bad taste. A gentle
man is something beyond this that which
lies at the root of all his pleasing is the
same spirit which lies at the root of every
Christian virtue. 1t is the Thoughtful de-
sire of doing in every instance to others
as he would that others should do unto
him. He is constantly thinking, not IN
deed how be may give pleasure to others
for the mere sense of pleasing, but how
he can show respect to others-how he
nav avoid hurting their feelings. When
he is in society, he scrupulously ascertains
the nostion and relations of every one
with whom he comes in contact, that he
may rive to each his due honor, his prop
or position. He studies how he may
abstain from any illusions which may call
up disasreeabe or offensive association.
A gentleman never alludcs to, never even

PERSONAL Blessed inHu-

earth Not calculable by algebra, not de-

the tiny seed is quickcned, and bursts
forth into tall stem and broad leaf and
glowing tasseled flower. Ideas arc often
poor ghosts; our sunillod eyes can not
discern them as they pass athwart us in
thin vapor, and can not make themselves
felt. But sometimes they are made of
flesh they touch US with soft responsive

speak to US in appealing tones; they are
clothed in q living human soul, with all
its conflicts, it's faith, and it's love. Then
