CLERKS.

The young men of our country seem to be
affected with mania for doing business in the
capacity of hirelings A farmers son enters
a dry goods store, and sees lad neatly
dressed, with fair face and tender hands; with
hair neatly parted fair in the middle of his
head, and sleek with castor oil and cologne,
and he is made to hate the farm and long to
get behind counter. An agent for some
new stove or sewing machine, or something
else, passes through a neighborhood, and all
the boys, from twelve to twenty years and up
ward, are made dissatisfied. They long to get
in spring wagon, drive over the country and
sell other peoples wares, and get rich in few
days. Young man, how many agents do you
know, who have acquired fortune by their
trade? Do you not know that the majority of
them spend from'hand-t d-to-mouth existence !?
How many clerks get rich? DO you not
know that they have hard time Of it, on
little wages and short rations? Everything
that is yellow is not gold. Do you not know
that it is a rare thing for merchant to get
rich? He spends kind of hury-burly exis-
tence, and when he dies his children are left
poor The only consolation they have is that
the patrons of their father cheated him out
of vast amount of money. The consolation
would be destroyed did they know the other
side of the story. Young man, if your father
has plantation, 60 to work on it, and not
grieve yourself to death about clerkship or
an agency. Do not long for misery. You
will have trouble and temptation enough
where you are.

fire and brimstone-a place made horrid by
hollow groans, weeping and gnashing Of teeth,
place where nothing good is seen, felt or
heard. Heaven is glorious place, where
death and disease never enter-a place of
pure delight, where nothing evil is ever seen,
felt or heard.
Again, we learn from this portion of scrip
ture, that once in hell is forever in hell.
There is an impossible gulf fixed, which ef:
fectually and forever prevents all intercourse
between the inhabitants of Heaven and the
inmates of hell. When death separates the
soul and body of the wicked, Christ, the sa-
viour, bids the soul AL eternal adieu. Anoth-
er thing that we may learn from the par
able is, that if men are not converted by the
ordinary means Of grace, no extraordinary
means will be used The conversion Of a soul
is wonderful thing, but God will work no
miracle to effect it. If Moses and the prophets
fail, no other means will be used. Gospel des-
pisers should lay this to heart.

WITH the new year. the ENQUIRER will
w enter upon its TWENTY-FIRST VOL

nouncement, we can promise greater attractions,
owing to increased facilities in every department.
than we have heretofore been enabled to present
AS non-partisan independent family news
paper, the future editorial conduct of the EN-
QUIRER can be as we'll Judged by the past, as by
any promise which we might now feel disposed
to make. An experience Of thirty four years in
the newspaper business, seventeen of which have
been unremttingly devoted to the management
of the ENQUIRER, fully convnces the proprie.
tor that the plan he adopted on assuming control
of the paper, is the correct mode of journalism in
the present day. The true mission of a newspa-
per is to place before the public facts as they exist
unbiased by partisan feeling or sinister motives,
and the propriety of this course is fully attested
not only by the success Of the ENQUIRER,
which can truthfully claim the largest circulation
Of any country paper in the South, but also by
many other Of the most popular and widely -circu-
lated papers of the day. The course thus indica-
ted we shall continue to pursue, aiming to pub
lsh LITERARY AND FAMILY NEWSPA-
PER, which shall be welcome visitor to the
Home Circle and acceptable alike to all classes
of readers. Hence, the news department of the
ENQUIRER, whether of matters at home or
abroad-political or otherwise-will be guarded
with the utmost care, and only facts as they may
seem to exist, will be presented, free from per-

WAGONS.

There is no more useful thing on planta-
ton than a good wagon. 1t is generally
thought that wagon-makers understand the
philosophy of building wagon so that it will
run light, bear up heavy load, and last a
long time. This is a great mistake. Many
wagon-makers know very little about wagon.
They of course understand when the work is
done in neat, workmanlike manner; but
that is about all they do know. The first
thing necessary to good wagon, is that it be
strong. A weak wagon will always run heavy,
especially if the weakness be in the wheels or
axletrees. In order to have strong wheel,
the hub must be large. The hub of u two
horse wagon should be eight or nine inches
in diameter, and of good sound wood, we'll
banded on each side of the spokes. The
felloes, an important part of wheel, should
be deep rather than broad, and made Of tim
ber not liable to crack. The spokes should
be of good sound white oak, we'll seasoned.
No man can put up wheel that will stand
if he has not we'll seasoned timber for the
spokes. The wheels should be bound up with
a heavy tire little wider than the felloes.
This will protect the felloes from wear. The
tire should not be much wider than the fell
loes, otherwise it will drag up large quanti-
ty of mud. A wheel without any dish, on
level road, will bear up more than one with
dish; but on hillsides, the dish is an advan
tage. 1t adds to its strength, and also pre-
vents the oversetting of the wagon. The
axletrees, if made of wood, should be made
of the best hickory, and so constructed that
on level road the wheel would stay on for
miles if there were no Inch pin in the axle
point. 1t must not, however, be so construct
ed that the wheel will incline to rub all the
time on the shoulder of the axle point. This
would create unnecessary friction. If iron
axletrees are used, they should be rather too
large than two small. For two horse wag-
on, two inch axle is small enough. The
other timbers, if they are we'll ironed with
good tough iron, should be as light as posi-
BILE. The whole should be well painted and
kept out of the weather when not in use. For
ordinary plantation work low wheels are bet
ter than high ones, and of course stronger.
The general defect of wagons is that they are
constructed on too light scale, of bad, un-
seasoned wood.

A COLLEGE EDUCATION.

Many young persons, both male and female,
thinkif they could only getthrough college and
receive diploma from the faculty, that this
would secure to them reputation for scholar
ship, and insure them ease and success in life.
The truth is, the American people have very
foolish notions about education. They con-
found going to school with learning, and hav-
ing regularly graduated in some college, with
being we'll educated. Unfortunately, all
those who enjoy school advantages do not i'm
prove them, and all who get a diploma are not
we'll educated. Unfortunately for our coun-
try, vast multitude of those who go to COL
lege learn very little but bad habits. A few
study hard, and make thorough advancements
in useful learning, whilst the multitude do
nothing but work mischief and spend money.

A WITTY REBUFF.

The following is narrated by a correspon-
dent of the London Spectator, which he says
is true:
Two persons, secently met before FIRST
class audience to discuss the question Of Re
sponsibility. The atomic philosopher went
in first, and showed that the popular religious
notion of Judgment to come for deeds done in
the body was inconsistent with any notion
that can be formed of judicial righteousness.
The first principle of justice is not to punish
one person for the faults ofanother. But, said
the lecturer science has proved beyond doubt
that at the end of few years not a particle
in my body or brain remains; every atom has
passed away, and the new matter forms new
man, who cannot be held accountable for the
conduct of another.
The audience seemed enchanted as that
which listened to Prof. Tyndall, at Belfast.
Then arose the city missionary, whose wits
must have been lively, and said:
Ladies and gentlemen, it is a matter of re-
gret to me that have to engage in discus
sion with a man of questionable character
with one, in fact, who is living with woman
to whom he is not married"
Up rose, in wrath, again the materlalist.
"Sir, thia is shameful, and I repudiate your
insolent attack on my character. defy you
to substantiate your charge I was married to
my wife twenty years ago, and we have lived
happily together ever since. This is a mere
attempt at evading the force Of the argu'
ment."
"On the contrary" replied the city mission
ary. 81 re. affirm my charge. You were never
married to the person with whom you are liv'
ing. Twenty years ago two other people may
have gone to church, bearing your names
but there is not one atom in your bodies re-
naming of those which were then married
Itfollows inevitably thatyou are in concubin'
age, unless you will admit that you are the
same man who was married twenty years
since" -,
The philosopher was compelled, amidst
great cheering, to allow that, somehow OF
other credit and discredit for past actions must
be granted, even by materialists.

VlHE COOKING STOVES manufactured at our
i works in Greensboro, N. c., give universal
satisfaction wherever introduced. They are made
of the BEST SCOTCH PIG NJ ETAL, with heav-
ier and thicker plate than any other Stove in tho
market, and consequently will the longer with
stand heat and hard usage. They are of hand
some pattern and neat finish, and warranted equal
in every other respect to any Cooking Stove sold
in the United States while It's confidently claimed
that they are the CHEAPEST. All the usual
pieces of ware and cooking utensils are furnished
with each Stove. An important consideration
with purchasers is the fact that our patterns and
sizes are never changed. Should piece get acci-
dentaIly broken at any time, we can replace it at
the mere cost of casting. Not simply because it
is a home production, button account of its intrin-
sic merits as an article of house hold economy, do
we ask the patronage Of home purchasers. More
than ONE THOUSAND Of these Stoves are now
in use, and among many others having them we
