A Difference in Yankees.

One of the best things in DR..
Holmes "Poct at the Breakfast Ia
ble," in the forthcoming atlantic
Monthly, is the following definition
of the difference between the
"pitch-pinc and the white-pine Yam
KEGS:
The Master got talking the other
day about the difference between
races and families. / am reminded
of what he said by what have just
been saying myself about coarse-f-
bered and fine-fibered people.
We talk about Yankee, New
Englander, he said, as if all Of 'em
were Just the same kind of animal
"Therc is knowledge and knowl-
edge" said John Bunyan. There
are Yankees and Yankees. Do you
know two native trees called pitch
pine and white pine, respectively?
Of course you know 'em. Well,
there are pitch-pine Yankees and
white-pine Yankees. We don't talk
about the inherited differences Of
men quite as freely, perhaps, as they
do in the Old World, but republi-
canism does not alter the laws of
physiology. We have a native ar
istocracy, a superior race, jast rs
plainly marked by nature as of
higher and finer grade than the
common run of people as the white
pine is marked in its form, its stat
urc, its bark, its delicate foliage, as
belonging to the nobility of the for
est; and the pitch-pine, stubbed,
rough, coarse-haired, and of the pie
beian order. Only the strange
thing is to see in what a capricious
way our natural nobility is distrib-
uted. The last born nobleman l
saw was only this morning; he was
pulling a rope that was fastened to
a Maine schooner which was loaded
with lumber. l should say he was
about twenty years old, as fine a
figure Of a young man as you would
wish to see, and with regular
Greek outline of countenance, wa
wing hair that fell as if sculptor
had massed it to copy, and a COM
plexion as rich as red sunset. l
have notion that the State of
Maine breeds the natural nobility
in a larger proportion than some
other States, but they spring up in
all sorts of out-of-the-way places
The young fellow l saw this morn
ing had on an old flannel shirt and
pair of pantaloons that meant
hard work, and a cheap cloth cap
pushed back on his head so AS to
let the large waves of hair straggle
out over his forehead; he was tug
ging at the rope with the other sail
ors, but upon my word l don't think
have seen a young English noble
man of all those whom l have look
ed upon that answered to the notion
of "blood" so well as this yonng
fellow did. suppose if ! made
such a lcveling confession as this
in public, people would think | was
looking toward being the labor re-
form candidate for President. But
l should go on and spoil my pros
poets by saying that l don't think
the whitc-pine Yankee is the more
generally prevailing growth, but
rather the pitch-pine Yankee.

A curious invention has just been
patented for cutting wood without
a saw. A galvanic current in suffi-
cient quantity, when passed over
fine platinum wire, raises its tenn
perature TO a white heat. The in
ventor discovered that wood, COM
paratively dry substance. even
when green, could be cut in the
same way. BY arranging the wire
with handles or other means, so as
to guide it readily, trees, logs, or
planks may be cut as desired.
There is here, therefore, simple
and casily,applied force, which
may be employed to fell trees, divide
them into logs, and perform all the
operations of the saw and the AK.
The surface of the wood is slightly
charred, but the black layer is very
thin. The battery employed need
only be of the simplest character. 2

of the road manifested a great deal OF
energy and used every exertion to
auench the flames, and are deserving
of much credit for their efforts.

Those who were familiar with
Due West fifteen or twenty years
ago, will remember a tall, large old
gentleman that lived few miles
out on Little River, who was re-
markable for his good sense and
good humor; who sat among the
Elders Of our Due West church,
and had a controlling influence
among them; who once represented
Abbeville. in the State Senate; who
was a member of the Board of
Trustees IF Erskine College, and a
good friend Of the Institution, grad
uating all his sons in the College;
who was a friend to every good en-
terprise of the community or
church. Need We say to those who
knew him, that his name was James
Fair! Some years ago he removed
to Newberry, where he was born
and raised, and there he continued
to exert the influence which he had
SO long welded in Abbeyille. But
age crept on; his hair grew white
his step lost its elasticity !; his spirits
were not so buoyant and lively as
in former times; the, results OF the
late war seemed to bear heavily
upon him; and when we saw him
last, about two months ago, he
seemed to be ripening for the upper
world. He was nearly four score
years old, and hence we were not
much surprised to hear last week
that he was extremely i'll, or to
learn a few days ago. as we did
that he breathed his last on Satur.
day the 18th inst. We have had
no particulars yet. An obituary
notice may be expected soon. An
other of the monarchs of the forest
has fallen. Another Of the Titans
of our race sleeps beneath his
mother earth, Another of the
fathers is gone. Another of those
whose like is not often seen, has
been called away from us. We car

THE BOYS.

There come the boys! Oh dear, the noise
The whole house feels the racket;
Behold the knee of Harry's pants,
And weep DER Bertie's jacket!
But never mind, if eyes keep bright,
And limbs grow straight and timber
We'd rather lose the trees whole bark
Than find unsound the timber. -
Now hear the tops and marbles roll
The floors-Oh, wo betide them
And I must watch the banisters,
For I know boys who ride them!
Look we'll as you descend the stairs,
1 often find them haunted .
BY ghostly toys that make no noise
Just when, their noise is wanted.
The very chairs are tied in pairs,
And made to prance and caper;
What swords are whitfield out of sticks
What brave hats made of paper!
The dinner bell peals loud and we'll, :.
TO tell the milkman's coming;
And then the rush of 'steam car trains"
Sets all our ears a-humming.
~ ls..
How oft I say, "What shall I do y
TO keep these children quiet?
If could find good receipt,
certainly should try it.
But what to do with these wild boys,
And all their din and clatter,
Is really quite grave affair
No laughing, tritling matter.
"Boys will be boys'-but not for long
All, could we bear about us
This thought-how very soon our boys
Will learn to do without US!
How soon but tall and decp-voiced men
Will gravely call us Mother"
Or we be stretching empty hands
From this world to the other.
More gently we should chide the noise,
And when night quells the racket,
Stitch in but loving thoughts and
prayers
While mending pants and jacket.

take the subscription list Of any
country paper where the advance
system is not religiously adhered to,
calisout the~names of those who pay
promptly, then visit their habitations,

ieeding in the stalls, thrifty fruit and

them after the weevil has disappear

Of June; at least peas sown after
that time are seldom affected, when

best pea to sow with oats for fodder
lis the black-eye marrowfat, or some
