Getting On in the World.

There many different ways Of get
ting on in the worll it does not al
ways mean making a great deal of
money. or being a great man for peo-
pie to look up to with wonder or ad
migation. Leaving eff a bad habit
for a good one is getting 90 in the
world; to be clean anl tidy, instead of
dirty ans disorderly, is getting on to
be careful and saving, instead Of
thoughtless and wasteful, is getting on;
to be active and Industrious, instead Of
idle and lazy, is getting on; to be
kind and forbearing, instead Of iIlnat-
nred and quarrelsome, IS getting on
to work as diligently in the master s
absence as in his presence, is getting
on in short, when We sce any one
properly attentive to his duties, perse-
vering through difficulties to gain such
knowledge as shall be Of use to him
self and others, Offering a good exam
pie to his realtive5 and acqu lintancas
We may be sure that he is getting on
in the world. Money is useful article
is its way, but it is possible to get on
with small means for it is q mistake
to suppose that we must wait tor 4
good deal Of money before We can do
anything. Perseverance is often bet
ter than full purse There are more
helps toward getting on than is gen
neralIy supposed many people lag
behind, or miss the way altogether,
because they do not see the silndle and
abundant means which Surround them
on all sides, and so it happens that
their mean are aids which cannot be
bought with money, Those who wish
to get on in the world must have
stock of patience and perseverance, of
hopeful confidence. q willingness to
learn, and disposition uot easily cast
down BY difficulties and diaaPpo!nt-
ments.

Let the Sick Die---M. Louis
Lalig.ae's Sanitary Notions.

Paris Correspondence New York Graphic.
I was lately conversing with NJ.
Louis Langue, and of the French
admirers Of NJ. Darwin, and during
the interview NJ Langue developed a
very remarkable consequence of the
doctrine of the survival OF the futest.
He urged that inasmuch as species
and individuals survive in the struggle
for life only by reason of superior
ability to master their environment,
whereby it comes to pass the
strong patronage the strong
and perfection is re1ched, it Is
unscientiic and uniustifabIe to interfere
with nature in her work in any way
wherby those who are unit to survive
shall be aided in their struggle. Man
is not exempt from the action of
the general law Of the survival
of the fttesl, and therefore any
means wherefore the weak are kept IN
existence, and it is rendered possible
for them to propagate their species, IS
indefensible. When the Spartans
killed their deformed offspring, they
were aiding nature in the accomplish
ment of its designs bnt much more

shall entirely do away with doctors,
medicines, hospitals. and all the adjun-
cts of the healing art. The world is

Mrs. Rachel Mack, wife of Rev William
e. Mack, departed this life in Orangeburg
County, September 10th, 1874, aged sixty
six years. :
Our dear friend was caliedupon for sew
eral years to pass under the rod Of affection,
her suflerings Were great, yet from her lips
no word of murmuring came. Her happy
spirit, we have reason to trust, is now before
the throne of God and the Lamb.
"Rest sainted one, ay, rest thy soul in peace
Thy tolls are over, thy crown is won;
But never shall remembrance of thee cease,
Till like thyself our sands oflife have run.
Long was thy Masterserveda and warmly loved
His image bright reflected through thine
own,
The acts of kindness, and the will that moved
With glndness while q task to thee was
known.
Our hearts are sad, and bend in stricken grief
When we remember we shall have no more
That faithful frien lship and that sweet relief,
Which flowed in mildest words from loves
own store.
But thou art swelling now the strains above,
And loved ones meet thee in thy Fathers
home:
Rest sainted one, nay, sing redeeming love,
+ While to that happy place we hope to
come" u r.
