1t would be interesting to know how
many thousand wives Of the land have
taken to talking in their sleep since
reading the following note from Laura
Fair to her victim, Mr.. Crittenden.
1t was published as part of the evil
dence on the murder trial. Mrs. Fair
writes: 81 once heard of a mani
knew his daughter-who loved as de-
votedly as you say you do, whose wife,
after exhausting all other means to re.
form him, hit upon that of sobbing
and talking in her sleep, and 50 affect
ed her husband that he abandoned hel
whom he loved, made a confession tc
his wife, and afterwards became min.
lister of the Gospel! How do you like
this picture ?u

Public Masonic Displays.

The silence of Free Masonry is ono of
her virtues. Silence was the first les
son in the ancient mysteries; and under
tho protecting wing of night were thoy
celebrated. Wise Pyth@goras denied to
his neophytes speech for set time, re-
ouirlng privacy and the "Silent tongue"
that they might learn to retain, undi-
vulged, the csoteric teaching ofhis phi
losophy.
In silence mighty things are wrought,
Silently builded, thought on thought,
Truths temple greets the sky,
And like citadel with towers,
The soul with her subserVient powers,
Is strengthened silently.
The statue ofSilence, with significant
monition, giver her warning as we enter
tho yestibule of this Temple. She
stands guard at the portals of our Lodges,
and frowns upon the idle and vain show
of a Masonic display when there is no
Masonic occasion.
The very object sought to bo obtained
by these empty parades, is i'll contravcn-
ton of the explicit teachings Of the Roy
al Graft. Freemasonry does not prose-
lyte. needs not these adventitious aids

In the lives and works of those who are
her true children are her truths to be ex-
empliied and illustrated, and it these
are unavailing to attract the earnest
seeker, public displays may add to hel
numbers, but not to her strength. j
upon this subject, her teachings are
needed, there will be no following altel
strange gods, for whom there are III
places in the Masonic temple; we shal
| have no trouble from those incongruou'
things styled Masonic Excursions, Ma
sonic Walks, Masonic Fairs, or the like
With these, Lodges have nothing to do
they cannot be interloped in our work

whose organic law forbids any process

CRIB BITING.--The treatment is to
take away from him everything that
he cal lay hold of with his teeth. Tic
him away from stalls, racks, parti-
tions, and put his feed on the floor, if
long, CT in a box, if cut feed, and re-
move the box as soon as he is done
eating. Continue this for several
weeks, and the habit may be broken
up, though it becomes one, sometimes,
of a most inveterate nature. Mcdi-
cine will be thrown away upon him,
unless the habit clearly arises from
indigestion. To the suggestions
above, about feeding, add great regu-
larity in the time of doing so, and ex-
ercise the herse, every day, for two
or three hours. If the animal has a
constipated habit, give him some
thing that will gently move the bow
els. Do not resort to any violent
measures whatever. Washing the
woodwork of the stalls with carbolic
acid water will sometimes prevent
horses from biting II.

Preachers and.Barns.

Every man (says the Due West A. R. Presby-
terian,) has his standard of excellence STAN
dard by which he weighs the value of men and
things. Some men are 4 little peculiar in their
notions. Gov Scott of South Carolina, seems
to be little different from some otbe. men in
several respects. Hero is an instance Of it: a
few weeks ages Methodist minister of good re-
pute was secretly murdered in Edgefeld, while
sitting at his own fire, in his own house, and
Gov. Scott, in order that justice might be done,
offers reward of Three Hundred Dollars for the
apprehension of the guilty party About the
same time certain gentleman had his gin house
burned in Ncwberry, and the Governor, in the
exercise of his gubernatorial functions, oilers a
reward Of Fire Hundred Dollars for the appre-
hersion of the perpetrators! poor Methodist
preacher is worth $500, but gin house is worth
S5OO!. We'll, it is probable that the Governor
thinks that preachers are dear at any price. Cot
ton is king.

of land, &C., in South Carolina. The plan also
contemplates advances for passage to this State

of small farmers, with their families, will, before
very long, be arriving to occupy lands now lying
idle in immense tracts, and eating up the owners
by the payment of taxes.
The principal Office of the agency will be in
Charleston, with branch Offices in the different
counties of the State. At these offices registers
will be opened for the recording of lands for SALE

One to IIonor--six to Infamy.

In another bart of this weeks Adrertiser' we
have spoken of the infamous Grecnville Railroad M
Bill now before the General Assembly. This bill
came up before the House on Saturday last, and
was passed by vote of II to %. Of the Edge
field delegation, six voted for this measure when
so Enthusiastically carries on its face the broad seal
of the thief. Their names are Harris, Cain, Riv-
ers, Lee, Green, and Kennedy. Their conshtu-
ents should not allow such dishonest acts to 60
unpunshcd. The price of Il vote for the drecn-
Vile Railroad swinde was at one time Szoo.
The one man from Edgefeld who voted against
this bill was DR.. JOHN BARKER. He is minus the
lucrc, but he deserves honor.
Thi, bill will very probably be killed in the
Senate. And if passed in the Senate, it will en-
counter an Executive veto. And in the last ex-
tremity, an appeal to the Courts.
