WORDS TO PARENTS -0te thing, howey-
er poor you are, yon can give your children,
ard that is your prayers. They are, if real
and humble, worth more thau silver or gold
more than food and clothing, and hsTe often
brought from the Father who is in heaven,
and hears cur prayers, both money and meat
and clothes, and all worldly good things.
And there Is one thing you can always teach
your child; you mag not yourself know bow
to read or write and therefore you may not
be able to teach your children how TO do
these Thugs; you may not know the names
Of the stars or their geography, and may,
therefore not be able TO tell them how far
you are from the sun, or how big the moon
is; nor be able to tell them the way to Jeru-
salem or Australias but you may be always
able to tell them who made the sun, the
moon aud stars and numberd them and you
may tell them the road to heaven. You
may alwsys teach them to pray.

EOoK OUT, YOUNG LADIES'.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS.


. Now that the tournament Is a fixed TACT
with u.s. and that This sport and display is to take
place for the first time in Charleston, It is well to
give timely warning to the young ladies Of our
city to 'look their prettiest" on that occasion.
There are three prizes to be awarded to the sue
cessful Knights. When these are decided on by
the judges. the winner OF the first prize signifies
to 'the Herald" who he selects amongst the
crowd assembled to witness the sports for the
"Queen Of Beauty" while the two other success
ful Knightsalso specify two other young ladies OF
the assembly to act as Maids OF Honor'' 70 the
Queen. The Herald will approach the throng,
and cry out first the name OF the Queen, and,
next In order, the Maids Of Honor. A chariot will
be prepared to convey these to the Judges
stand,n where the Queen Of Beauty will receive
the crown from the successful Knight. 1t Is
hoped that no young lady thus selected will let
any bashful timidity prevent her acceptance Of
an honor bestowed on her, and conferred by her,
and thus grace by her presence one of our truly
Southern sports. Let one and all come to see the
grand tournament.
