Once more we turn 10 to the quiet home
of Deacon Harland, just preceding an
arrival there which will create an unusual
excitement about the placid homestead.
We should recognize the good couple any
where, for the years have passed lightly
over than. The evening mail hos ins,
arrived, and awaits attention on small
table before the genial, open fire.
The worthy Deacon, carefully adjusting
his glasses, selects paper and prepares
to read; but his wife more eagerly secures
letter, which is in the we'll known
writing of her absent boy, and with very
little delay opens the ample envelope. A

"He says he will explain all when he

The Treasurer of South Carolina is Mr..
F. L. Cardozo-an upright and truthful
man. He has recently made statement
of the finances of the State, which de-
serves consideration. The bonded debt
of the State October 81, 1872, was nearly
$l6.OOO,oOO (15.s5l 327,) Of this sum
about $6,0O0,OOO Is in dispute There IS
a deficiency in the Treasury of about
100000. The expenses for the ensuing
year will be about $1,20o,000. The pres
ent rate of tax will pay both the dsficien-
cy and expenses, and allow another Year
of reduction OF ope-:hird in the tax
The present State Treasurer early adopted
tie rigid rule of paying definite and linn
tied appropriations first, and indefinite
ones afterwsrd. The consequence was
that the Legislature abandoned indefinite
appropriations and shut off q large
amount of fraud. On the whole, the
finances of the State are in u better condi-
ton than they have been for long time.

MY GUARDIAN ANGEL.
JAMES @. CLARK.

Come to my weary heart, wand'ring from
duty, -
Spirit that guarded my path way in youth
Come In the beams OF the glorifed beauty.
Smile on soul that is struggling for truth.
Thou hast been with me When pleasnres
were fleeing, -" :
Silv'ring the nighttime of sorrow with
love,
Floating like light through the clouds of nv
being
Come to me, now, from thy dwelling above.
Come to my couch when the underworld re-
poses,
Wave thy white wings DER the visions Of
night;
Best on my hopes like the dew on the roses.
Bring all the budding ones forth to the
light.
True as the stars DER the mountain storm
playing r.
Faithful through trial, temptation and pain.
Thou hast been true when my spirit was
straying,
Come, and / never will grleve thee again.

KILLED AT THE GAMING TABLE
W. r. Pinch, who was stationed here several years
ago as photographer, and who has more latterly
resided at Brockwayville, was shot dead at the
gaming table by a fellow gambler in saloon
at Parkers Landing, week or more ago
The circumstances attending the tragedy, as near
as we have been able to learn them, are as follows:
Finch and his opponent whose name we did not
learn, had been playing for some time, and be-
coming desperate, each staked 81, 500 upon their
hands. In the play which followed Pinch won,
and naturally reached forward to draw in his
prize, when the loser, mnddened with rum and OK
asperated by his III fortune, drew his revolver,
shot Pinch through the brain, gathered up the
stakes and fed The murdered man was well
known in this section as gambler and sporting
man. Ho was imposing in appearance, Of good
address, and possessed Of mean order Of ability.
Had his time and energies been devoted to bet
ter cause, he might have become an influential
citizen in any community, and been spared the
ignominious death which an all-wse Providence
decrCed should cap the climax Of his aagitious
eareer.-Eik Democrat.

SUGGESTIONS TO SABBATH scnooLs

SUGGESTIONS TO SABBATH SCHOOLS
IN CtrARrIELp CousrY.- Rightly Sabbath Schools
have been closed in Clcarlold county during tho
winter mon,hp. They should soon be In session
nrain. Some Of them are already opened with
fair prospect Of increasing usefulness. A few
surgcstions at this time may not bc without i'd
vantage to those who will have these schools in
charge.
Secure as large attendance as possible at the
first meeting for reorganization.
Give public notices at least two weeks before
hand.
In the meantime, invite personally as many rs
you can 10 be present at the meeting and to take
part in the work to be DONE LaA
Pray for tho blessing Of God In the under
taking. 1t is work which God approves there.
fore let nothing discourage you.
II You have preacher, ask h,m to preach
Sabbath School sermon previous TO the opening
Of the school and as often as heean thereafter.
For Superintendent, appoint the man or wom-
an best fitted to lll that office.
Choose no one merely because he belongs to a
certain denomination,
Qualification Is the thing 10 bc considered rath-
er than nominal profession.
Give the school definite ndme, either Union
or denominational.
Ii 1t is called "unon," make II consistently so.
Remember there Is no such thing as a Prcsbytc-
riun or Mctnoulrt UT Lutheran tNtoN Nunuay
School. In an undenominatonal or Union School,
simple justice requires that no book or paper or
other publications OF UNCONVENTIONAL character
should bc introduced except by consent of all
concerned. Attention to this will often save se-
rious trouble.
Elect faithful person for Secretary and pro-
vide him with minute book with blanks for one
session Sabbath. Such book can be had for
90 cents. A dligent use Of II will greatly serve
tho interests Of the school.
Do not form too many classes,
1t Ia better to employ few competent teachers
for large classes than to have so many classes
that some Of them will be In charge of persons
who are not qualified to teach.
AT another time, may give few hints con.
cerning Sunday School management.
On receipt Of 10 cents, to cover costs, will
sond to any address, the Sunday School Monitor,
containing practical suggestions for Sunday
School workers, together with q copy Of One Les.

Worm SErise.--One Of the most expensive
and varied exhibitions that has ever been organ
red In either this or any other country, will visit
this on Tuesday, April 29th, giving two exhbi-
tons, one in the afternoon and one in the evening
very inc street display win take place in the
morning at 10 o'clock. We clip the following
from extended notice of this cx hibition in the
Albany evening Journal
"Aaasemens for the Psople.--It is impossible
to compute the expense and time and talent en-
ployod to crafty and meet that taste Of the hu-
man mind for enjoyment and amusement which is
more or loss expressed In the civilized and savage
races. The denzcns Of the African jungles as
well as the most cultivated circles Of Parisians
have their sources of amusement--and the culture
and civilization of tho latter are as much deter
mined by those they seek as the barbarism Of the
former by their rude and, to us, outrageous means
OF enjoyment. In pagan Rome the ampitheatre
was overlooked by the highest in authority, the
wcalthiest, and by the Ceopatras of that impo-
rial city--to watch the agonzing struggles and
death throcs Of the poor captive who vainly con-
tests for the boon Of life with some savage deni-
zen Of the jungle or the desert. But in this nine
tcenth century our enjoyments are not in witness
ing human torture, but rather in the cultivation
OF the physical powers Of man his accomplish
inens in feats Of strength and agility; his skin
in bringing the brute creation whether represented
by the horse, the elephant or the lercest Of lions
the king Of boasts-under the perfect control of
tao human mind. These thoughts run through
our mind as we contemplate the wonderful and
interesting exhibition given by Montgomery
Queens Great European Menagcric, Circus and
Bedcuin Arab Troupe. To organize this vast and
varied combination Of amuscments, II would seem
as II nearly every quarter Of the globe had been
compelled to contribute its rarest representative
The camels and their Arab attendants from the
scorching sands of Sahara the monster Elephant
from Asia and the Lilliput from Africa the mag
nihcent Lions from the Cape Of Good Hope; the
Papois from Egypt and tho patriarchal Apes from
| Abyfsnia, are but some Of the features in this
circus exhibition, and which are found in no other
In the Union. 1t Is no wonder that crowds filed
the vast tent in the recent visit to this city Of this
varied entertainment, and we know that the audi
enee were highly pleased and instructed with what
they saw. We hope to welcome Queens Nam
moth Combination to our city again ere long.
