How to TakeIifc.

Take life like man-take it by the
forelock, by the shoulders, by the spine,
by every limb and part. Take it just az
though it was-as it is-an earnest, vital,
essential affair. Take it just as though
you personally was born to the task c'
performing merry part init: as though
the world had waited for your coming.
Take it as though it was grand oppor-
tunity to do and to achieve; to carry
forward great and good schemes; tohelp
and cheer suffering, weary, it may be
heart-sickened brother.
The fact is, says all exchange, life is
undervalued by greatmajority of MAJ
kind. 1t is not nude half as much Of III
should be the case. Where is the man
or woman who accomplishes one tithe of
what might be done? who cannot look
back upon opportunities lost, plans un-
achieved, thoughts crushed, aspirations
untitled, and all because Of the lack OF
the necessary and possible effort. IT we
knew better how to take and make the
most of life it would be far creator than
it is. Now and then man stands aside
from the crowd, labors earnestly, stes,d-
lastly, confidently, and staightway be-
comes famous for wisdom, intellect,
skill. greatness of somo sort. The world
wonders, admires, idolizss; and yet it
only illustrates what eacl, may do il he
takes hold of life with prrpose-by the
head and shoulders. II man but say
he will, and follow; it up by the right
effort, there is ::,i.ing in reason he may
not expect to accomplish. There is no
magic, no miracle, no secret to him who
is brave in heart and determined in spirit.

ruined Commonwealth threatens to sue

will think better Of it. What the Tribune
d; was to report the statements Of 8

complimentary, but they were at least a,
mild as the statements current in newspa-
pers much nearer Governor Scott's home
The Governor Is shrewd man in his gen.

which guilty man gets when. with 8
virtuous pretence. of innocence, he threat

shrewd to o'pursue the case further. :.

Late on Wednesday evening, the 25th
ultimo, young white girl, residing neal
the town, while on her way homo, anc
Just as she reached the neighborhood q
the railroad, was set upon by a tIendish
scoundrel a colored boy, calling himself
Samson Dick, who would doubtless have
accomplished his devilish purpose, had he
not been deferred by the timely arrival o.
one of the railroad employees, near the
spot in hand-car. The oowardly brute
hearing the approach of the hand,car, de-
sisted from bis attempt. and fed to the
adjacent woods, where he concealed him
self for considerable length of time, un-
til he thought be could venture to leave
with. safety to himself. The father of the
unfortunate girl, however, had received
intelligence Of the attack upon his daugh'
ter by this time, and was on the lookout
gun in hand, for the guilty perpetrator o.
the deed. He intercepted this villain, as
he attempted to emerge from his shelter
arrested and delivered him into the hands
of the tailor. II

aDown with the Carpet-Baggers."

"Down with the Carpet-Baggers."
The Charleston News raises the cry of
"Down with the pet-baggers." Upon
the carpet -bagger, says the Neirs, rests
the responsibility Of the siege of troubles,
against which the white citizens strug.
gled in,vain. The Ne,ps proceeds, very
justly, to arraign the carpet-bagger upon
various counts, and thus concludes its
article:
"This is reason enough why the Con-
serva;ive voters should. refuse to have
aught to do with the ticket of the Tom
linson-C -Corbin faction of the Radical par
ty. That ticket is the expression of the
carpet-bag principle, or want of princi-
pie. The election of that ticket rivets
the chains which now hang loosely about
the limbs of this people. The death Of
the carpet-bagger is the life of the State"
Let us all reiterate the News cry of
"Down with the Carpet -Baggers," and
keep up the shout and the fight until the
last one of the thieving plunderers is
driven from Office and political prefer
ment. Yea, "Down with the Carpet
Baggers w And up with the banner of
peace, reform, and good government.
