SPARE MOMENTS.

A lean, awkward boy came one morning
to the door of the Principal of celebrated
school, and asked to see him. The servant
eyed his mean clothing, and thinking he look
ed more like a beggar than any thing else,
told him to 90 around to the kitchen. The
boy did as he was bidden, and soon appeared
at the back door.
"You want breakfast, more like" said
the servant girl, "and I can give you that
without troubling him."
"Thank you," said the boy 81 should have
no objection to bite, but I should like to see
Mr.. -, if he can see me-
"Some old clothes, may be you want," re-
marked the servant, again cycling the boys
patched clothing. 81 guess he has none to
spare; he gives away sight," and without
minding the boys request, she went away
about her work.
"Can see Mr.. -" again asked the boy,
after finishing the bread and butter.
"Well, he is in the library; if he must be
disturbed, he must, but he does like to be
alone sometimes" said the girl in peevish
tone. She thought it very foolish to admit
such an ill.looking fellow into her masters
presence. However, she wiped her hands and
bade him follow. Opening the library door,
she said:
"Here's somebody, sir, who is dreadful anx.
ious to see you, and so I let him in."
I don't know how the boy introduced him.
self, or how he opened business but know
that after talking awhile, the Principal put
aside the volume he was studying and took
up some Greek books and began to examine
the new conner. The examination lasted
some time. Every question which the Prin
cipal asked the boy was answered readily.
"Upon my word," exclaimed the Principal
"you certainly do WE'LL" looking at the boy
from head to foot over his spectacles.
"Why, my boy, where did you pick up SC
much ?"
'In my spare moments" answered the boy
Here he was poor, hard working, with but
few opportunities for schooling, yet almost
fitted for college by simply improving his
"spare moments" Truly are not spare mo-
ments the "gold dust of timer" How pre-
cious they should be. Look and see. This
boy can tell you how very much can be laid uT
by improving them, and there are many other
boys, l am afraid, in jail, in the house of cor
rection, in the forecaste of whale ship, ir
the tippling shop, who if you would ask them
when they they began their sinful courses
might answer: "In my spare moments"
"In my spare moments gambled for mar
bles In my spare moments began to smoke
and drink. 1t was in my spare moments
that I gathered wicked associates"
Oh ! be careful how you spend your spare
moments. Temptation always hunts you ou
in seasons like these. When you are not busy
he gets into your heart, if he possibly can il
such gaps There he hides himself, planning
all sorts of mischief. Take care of your
spare moments.

Dear Friends and ymen-Having been
entrusted with the benevolent work Of providing
home for the Orphans, and other equally unfor-
an earnest appeal for help in this great work.
The Palmetto Orphan Home was organized last
April, and is now progressing with encouraging
prospects. .......
ton and Laws which define the nature, design
and mode ofoperation of this Institution. Its di-
rect management is to be by local board consist
ing of nine persons, in the city Of Columbia, which
Board is to be subject to the direction Of gener-
al Board consisting of two persons, from each
county in the State, which is to be called to meet
annually in Columbia, at such places as the local
Board may appoint.
In the choice of persons to act on these Boards
and of the officers ofthe institution no partiality
is to be allowed account Of the religious sect to
which persons belong; but all appointments are
to be made on the broad principles Of humanity
and charity.
The Constitution does not limit the ages at which
the children shall be received but leaves that at
the discretion of the Board, who are to decide
from the nature of each case as described in the
application.
The Board are desirous of purchasing suitable
and valuable property, nowf for salea low figures,
for the location of the Home. We are therefore,
confident that our appeal to the generous people
of South Carolina will at once bring many liberal
donations and pledges to effect the permanent es-
tablishment ofthe Palmetto Orphan Home, which
will be the best monument to the memory Of our
dead we could possibly rear in our State.
The Board have appointed Tilman r. Gaines,
General Agent to organize Aid Committees and
to raise funds for the Home. And the Board will
take pleasure in acknowledging all amounts paid
to him or sent directly to US at Columbia. Dona-
tions may be madein money. provisions, clothing
and anything that can be made useful.
All applications for entering children must be
made to the Board, Address,
