A COOP RUN.-It will be remembered
that Deputy United States Marshal Anderson,
with squad of United States soldiers, visited
the residence of Mr.. R. E. Quinn, in this
county, last summer, and arrested Mr.. Quinn
for r-violating the Enforcement Act. Not sat-
isfed with the arrest, Anderson used abusive
and insulting language to Mrs. Quinn. Mr..
Quinn came to town last Thursday and met
the said Anderson, who was engaged in a
swindling enterprise. Quinn called him to
account for the insulting language used in the
presence of his wife. Anderson called upon
Sheriff Duvall, who was present, for protection,
which was promptly rendered. Anderson
then attempted to draw pistol, but Quinn
was too quick for him. When he saw Quinn's
pistol he took leg bail, and parties who wit
messed it say he made excellent time, as all of
his ilk will do when brought to the test. An
derson and his gift swindle have gone toward
Chester. Look out for him. Wnnsboro

How WOMAN CORNERS A HEN.-When
woman has hen to drive into the coop,
she takes hold of her hoops with both hands
and shakes them quietly toward the delin-
quent, and says, "shew, there" The hen
takes one look at the object, to convince her.
self that it is woman, and then stalks majes-
tically into the coop, in perfect disgust of the
sex. A man don't do that way. He goes
out of doors and says, "it is singular that no.
body in this house can drive hen but my
SELF" and, picking up stick of wood, hurls it
at the offending biped, and observes, "get in
there, you thief" The hen Immediately loses
her reason, and dashes to the opposite end Of
the yard. The man straightway dashes after
her. She comes back again with her head
down, her wings out, and followed by an as
sortnent ofstove wood, fruit cans, and clink-
ers, with much-pufing and very mad man in
the rear. Then she skins upon the stoop,
land under the barn, and over fence or two,
and around the house and back again to the
coop, all the while followed by things conve.
nient for handling, and man whose coat is
on the saw-back, and whose hat is on the
ground, and whose perspiration and profanity
appear to have no limit. By this time the
other hens have come out to take a hand in
the debate, and help dodge the missiles
then the man says every hen on the place
shall be sold in the morning, and puts on his
things and goes down street, and the woman
dons her hoops, and has every one of those
hens housed and contented in two minutes
and the only sound heard on the premises is
the hammering by the oldest boy as he mends
the broken pickets.-Danbury Ne,us.

How TO CURE CoLD.-One of our citi-
zens who has been troubled with severe cold
on the lungs, effected his recovery in the fol-
lowing simple manner: He boiled a little
boneset and hoarhound together, and drank
freely of the tea before going to bed. The
next day he took five pills, put one kind Of
plaster on his breast, another under his arms,
and still another on his back. Under advice
from an experienced old lady, he took all
these off with all oyster knife in the afternoon
and slapped on mustard paste instead. His
mother put some onion drafts upon his feet
and gave him lump of tar to swallow. Then
he put some hot bricks to his feet and went to
bed. Next morning another old lady came in
with bottle of goose oil and gave him dose
of it in quill, and an aunt arrived about the
same time from Bethel with bundle of sweet
fern, which she made into a tea, and gave
him every half hour until noon, when he took
big dose of salts After dinner, his wife,
who had seen fine old lady of great expe-
rience in doctoring, on Franklin street, gave
him two pills of her make, about the size Of
an English walnut, and of similar shape,
and two tablespoonsfuls of homemade balsam
to keep them down. Then he took half
pint of hot rum at the suggestion of an old
sea-captain, in the next house, and steamed
his legs with an alcohol bath. At this crisis
two Of the neighbors arrived, who saw at once
that his blood was out of order, and gave him
half gallon of spearmint tea, and big
dose of castor oil. Before going to bed he
took eight of new kind Of pill, wrapped
about his neck flannel soaked in hot vine
gar and salt, and had feathers burnt on
shovel in his room. He is now thoroughly
cured and full of gratitude. We advise our
readers to cut this out and keep it where it
can be readily found when the danger threat

DEATH.BED REPENTANCES.

When it becomes clearly manifest to any
one that death is near by, wonderful change
is undergone in the mind at once. Death
sobers those who can be sobered in no other
way. Death frightens those who can be
frightened by no other means. The physical
change which takes place when death invades
the body, is not greater than that which is
produced in the mind of the same cause
When men see tnat they must die, they SET
about in earnest to prepare for the great
change Sins are confessed, and prayers are
offered up by lips not accustomed to such
things. The Bible becomes precious book
and the religious conversation and prayers Of
good men are earnestly desired. This is de-
nominated death-bed repentance. Is it true
and evangelical repentance? Is it an evi'
dence of love? In some cases no doubt it is
and in others it is not There can be no ques.
ton that it is possible for an individual to re-
pent when on the confines of the tomb. Nc
doubt some have found peace and joy in be-
lieving, as this life drew to close. 1t is
highly probable that such instances are very
few-much fewer than all of us, in our charity
suppose. The great multitude of the redeem
ed in heaven will be made up of weather
beaten soldiers of the cross. The most unfit
time in all our existence to prepare to die it
when we are dying. Often the body is racked
with pain ,and the mind fearfully disorganized
Death is often sought by those morally unpre
pared to die, as temporary relief from acute
pain. Often death is preceded by menta
stupor. "Not afraid to die" frequently indi
Gates nothing more than that the mind of the
individual who utters it, is wholly Indifferent
both to living and dying.
1t is difficult to think of anything more
hazardous than postponing repentance to
ward God and faith in Jesus Christ until We
come to die. There are thousand chance:
that we will fail, to one that we will succeed
Death-bed repentances are often, no doubt
nothing but the fear of meeting righteou:
God in judgment. Confessions Of sin, ano
prayers for pardon, are forced from the lips
by the awful gloom which gathers around the
dying couch. None should defer that which
is most important to the last moment of thei'
lives. A whole life, of three score years and
ten, is not too long to prepare to meet oul
God in peace A few moments or hours, OF
even DAYS. preceding death are too short

CRIME AND PUNISHMENT.

1t should be deeply impressed upon our
minds, at an early period in our existence,
that there are some things which are insepa-
rably connected. Children generally desire
to know why this and that thing is as it is
They have many questions to ask about every
thing they see or hear. Often, it is admitted,
they are too easily satisfied. Not uufrequent-
ly, they confound things that are wholly dis
tinct, and regard, as the cause of an event,
that which is only an accidental circumstance.
The opposite mistake is made, not only by
children, but by men and women of mature
age. That which is an invariable result of a
cause is regarded as simply an accidental
circumstance.
In nothing do young persons, in fact it
might be said in nothing do the human family,
blunder so frequently and so egregiously, as
they do respecting the relationships which ex-
ist between crime and punishment. These
two things sustain to each other the intimate
relationships Of cause and effect. In other
words, crime ends in punishment. Seldom" !"
says Latin poet of no ordinary worth, "does
punishment, though lame of foot, fail to over
take the transgressor going before her." The
modifying adverb, seldom, might, in perfect
harmony with the individual history of our
race, be left out of the sentence. 1t is truth
which admits of demonstration, that punish
ment never fails to overtake the transgressor.
Sometimes the interval between the two is
exceedingly short, so short that the one can
scarcely be distinguished from the other. The
crime often obscures the punishment and the
punishment the crime. So close together are
they sometimes, that we cannot look at the
one without seeing the other. In other in
stances, punishment follows crime at such a
gait as to warrant the expression of the poet,
"slow of foot"
There is something suggested to the mind
by the word punishment, which is not pleas.
ant. 1t includes both suffering and disgrace.
There may be suffering and no disgrace, no
infamy, no shame, no remorse. This is not
punishment, it may be martyrdom. Crime
results in two things which are neither pleas
ant nor honorable These two things are suf-
fering in multitude of forms, and disgrace
in variety of degrees.
The only sensible way to avoid suffering
and disgrace, is to abstain from crime. 1t is
the nature of fire to burn. All fire burns,
hence, the individual who takes fire into his
bosom must be burned. 1t is not more Of the
nature of fire to burn than it is of the nature of
crime to be followed by punishment Burn
ing is inseparably connected with fire. If
it did not burn it would not be fire. So it is
with crime and punishment. They are insep-
arably connected. To avoid the punishment,
we must abstain from the crime. There is
but one thing in the world that will cover us
with infamy and disgrace, and that one thing
is crime. If we are guilty of criminal acts,
we are liable, at any moment, to be overta ken
by punishment certainly we will be overtaken

ga mans man." said Robert Burns,
"For a that and a. that
But though the song be clear and strong,
1t lacks note for a that.
The lout who'd shirk his daily work,
Yet claim his wages and a. that;
Or beg, when he might earn his bread,
Is not man for a. that.
If all who dine on homely fare
Were true and brave, and a that;
And some whose garb is "hodden gray"
Was fool and knave, and a. that;
The vice and crime that shame our time
Would fade and fall, and a. that,
And plowmen be as good as kings,
And churls as earls, for a. that.
You see yon brawny, clustering sot,
Who swaggers, swears, and a. that,
And thinks, because his strong right arm
Might fell an OK, and a. that,
That he's as noble, man for man,
AS duke and lord, and a. that
He's buta brute, beyond dispute,
And not man, for a. that.
A man may own large estate,
Have palace, park, and a that,
And not for birth, but honest worth,
Be thrice man, for a. that;
And Donald, herding on the muir,
Who beats his wife, and a that,
Be nothing but rascal boor,
Nor halfa man, for a. that.

The mans the gold, for a that;'
And, though you'd put the minted mark

For a. that and a. that,
'Tis soul, and heart, and a. that,
That makes the king gentleman,
And not his crown, and a. that;

Who stands erect, in self-respect,
And acts the man, for a. that.

The BRIGHT SIDE.-The Camden Journal
contains a trenchant article, evidently from
the pen of its new editor, General James B.
Kershaw, which turns the attention of the
reader to the bright side of the picture, as it
exists at least in Kershaw county. The editor
says:
Croaking has been so universal since the
war, it was so we'll nigh justified by the hard
ships and trials we have undergone, that it
was tolerated and encouraged until it has be.
come habit, and with many it is confirmed
chronic disease, worse than the evils it groaned
over.
A calm though hasty glance at our sur
roundings will convince any one that there is
no further justification or excuse for the croak.
er. True, taxes are high and unjust-govern.
ment, State and county is oppressive, tyran'
nical and partial-demoralization is very COM
mon, even out of politics grumbling of:
fers no cure.
In political and social sense, we in old
Kershaw are far better off than in most sec.
tions of the South, while in material matters
we are prospering.
Let the facts speak for this business season
l. More cotton and corn have been pro-
duced than in any other year since the war.
2. More cotton has been bought and sold
in Camden.
3. More cotton has been shipped on our
railroad, and less corn brought to us.
4. More money has been handled by our
farmers, merchants, lawyers, &c.
5. More horses, mules and oxen are owned
and worked in Kershaw county.
g. There is scarcely vacant house or farm
in the county.
7. Perfect health, peace and good order
prevail.
Now, that list shows a tolerable condition
at least.

GETTING EVEN WITH A TRUCKMAN.-The
truckmen here are as just as bad about run
ming over or splashing mud on you as they
are in New York. There is only one body of
men in the world that can beat 'em at it, and
that is the 'longshore cavalrymen that cross
Fulton ferry every morning. One of these
fellows, ust because he is on top ofa horse,
puts on more airs than French roof
saw truckman catch it once. was with
Bill Smith, and Bill was all dressed up, going
to see his beloved, who had hair the color of
sunlight. Bill and were crossing Broadway.
1t was awful juicy walking, and truckman
drove his horse right on to us, splashing Bill
all over with mud in spots as big as butter
plates. The truckman fairly roared with
laughter and yelled out, "How do you like
it?"
Bill said nothing, and the truckman drove
Bill let him get about block, when he ran
up behind, and grabbing two hands full of the
most perfectly formed mud I ever saw, he
jumped on to the truck, and throwing both
arms around that truckman's neck he quietly
laid dab of mud as large as pumpkin pie
in each eye then scraping what was left down
the back of his neck he whispered in his ear,
"How do you like it ?"
When the truckman recovered his sight he
couldn't find Bill, but he drove around the
corner, and for half an hour he used some
very expressive language. There wasn't a
word in it as refined as the word peppermint.
