Penalties Of EnhNlliOu.

Hilton Head Island WAS formerly
owned by Gen. ScahIook, the largest
slave owner in the country, aud ouc Of
the very wealthiest men at the South
He owned twelve hundred slaves. His
plantations were immense in extent; his
income vas enormous. The family con
sisted Of himself and wife, son and
dauehter-in-Iaw and an unmarried ~oii.
They enjoyed every luxury; they lived
in grand style; the sons had been care
fully trained and educated; The family
knew only the highest society of Europe
and this country. War came; the Tn
ion forces obtained possession of the
Island; the Seabrooks fled in terror to
Charlcst0wn, leaving all their slaves,
except few body servants, ard even
most Of their household property, to the
tender nlercies Of the Federal troops
The ~eahrooks soon found themselves
in state of destituiom in Charleston.
lhe fall WAS too great for the old man
to bear. He died within few months
broken hearted. The married son join
ed the rebel army. and soon followed
his venerable father To the grave. The
unmarried son pinched along in desti-
tuition for some years; low lie lived |
know not, but he is now driver on ore
Of the Charleston street cars, under the
direction of Celtic conductor He says
lie is learning business, is content 10
commence at the foot OF the ladder, and
means to work up. Success to him in
the brave effort! The venerable mother
and her daughter-in law, have been for
some time and are now inmates OF the
Charleston almshouse. Another Illus
tration. There is the rich Lady's Isl
and. 1t was owned by the Carpers-
very wealthy. One recently died in
want at CharlestoE-anothe and the
last of that proud family is now in the
Charleston almshouse! Neiily, the ret
ributions for rebellion have been terrible,

How Coop FARMERS SAVE MONEY!
They take good papers, and read
them.
They keep correct accounts Of farm
operations.
They do not leave their farm imple-
ments scattered over the farm, exposed
TO the weather.
They repair their tools and buildinps
at the proper time, and do not suffer 4
subsequent three-fold expenditure OF
time and money.
They use their money judiciously.
and do not attend auction sales to pur.
chase all kinds Of trumpery because It Il
cheap.
They see that their fences are well re-
paired, and their cattle are not found
grazing in the meadows, or grain fields.
or orchards.
They do not refuse to make expert
ments i'll small way of many new
things.
They plant fruit trees we'll, care for
them and of course get very good
crops.
They practice economy by giving
their stock good shelter during the win
ter, also good food, taking out all that
is unsound, half rotten, or mouldy.
They do not keep tribes Of cats and
snarlins dogs around their premises,
who eat-l!rpsore in month than they
are worth in a life time.
Lastly, they read the advertisements.
know what is going OH, and frequently
save money by it.
Successful farming is made up by at
tention to little things. The farmer
, who does it best earns his money with
best appreciation, and uses it with best
results. Such men are the "saIt of the
earth.n

AN EASTERN STORY.-The following
beautiful story is worthy to 10 laid up
lnthe memory ofevery one:
a poor Arab travelling in the desert
met with a spring of clear, sparkling
water.
t'sod rs he was only to brakish wells,
such water As this appeared to his SIM
pie mind worthy of q monarch. and
filling his leathern bottle from the
spring, he determined to go and pro-
sent it to the caliph himself
The poor man travelled long way til
he reached the presence ofhis sovereign.
and laid his humble offering ut his feet.
The caliph did not despise tile little
gift brought to him with so much troub.
le. He ordered some Of the water to be
poured into cup, drank it, and thank.
ing the Arab with II smile, ordered him
to be presented with reward. The
eourtlers around pressed forward, eager
to taste OF the wonderful water; but, to
the surprise of all, the caliph forbade
them to touch single drop.
After the poor man had quilted the
royal presence with light and joyful
heart, the cailph turned to his courtiers
and thus explained his conduct:
during the travels of the Arab" said
he, 1.-THE water in his lcathern bottle be-
came impure and distasteful. But It
was an offering of love, and as such l
have received it with pleasure. But
well knew that had suffered another
to partake of it, he would not have COLI
eealed his disgust, aud therefore, I for.
babe you TO touch the draught, lest the
heart ofthe poor man should have been
wounded.h
The net OF the caliph was worthy Of =
Christian gentleman. Read the story
over again, think about it, and try to
remember it when some one, more sim.
pie minded than you are, exposes his
ignorance while trying to do you a
service.
lfyou laugh and make sport as the
courtlers would have done, you show
yourself to be no gentleman nor a Chris
tan. The truly great are kind to the
humblest. 1t is the mean man who
treats the lowly with contempt.

A Message from the Governor.


The following message from the
Governor, in reference to to the pen
itentiary t.l =
Gentlemcn Of the Senate and House
Of Representatives:
feel that MY duty to the State as
well as to the Inmates OF your State
prison demands that should call your
attention to the peculiar condition oi
the institution, and urge upon your
honorable body that some definite
and prompt action be taken In refer
ence to the same before your adjourn
ment for the holidays.
The condition ofyour State prison Is
alarming, both from the rapid In
creas of members and for the want on
means to support them and especi-
ally 50 when 1t Is impossible, rs your
honorable body Is well aware, under
the present status OF the prison, to
work the convicts. The report OF the
Directors, made to thepresent session
of the General Assembly shows:-
That the number Of comvicts In the
prison to he 55l, and that the State
owes TO various parties for the support
of the same, rs set forth In page ~ OF
said report, the sum OF S40,0Os r.
Two months only have elapsed, and
my information at present Is that the
number 0fconvicts now confined $500
aud that the debts OF the institution
to $780, 900. Many persons who amount
have extended credit to the State
heretofore 10y furnishing supplies foI
of prisoners refuse to dose any the use
longer, and it Is becoming very Diff
cult TO procure the actual necessaries
for the institution. trust that the i'm,
portance OF these facts will DO deemed
sufficient cause for my respectfully
requesting your early action In this
matter. Respectfully.
