An Attempt to Drown PredestinatiOn.

About thirty years ago, there lived in Beau.
fort County. of this State, an eccentric and
shrewd old Baptist preacher, whose name was
John Toumans, and whom many OF our older
readers in Barnwell, Beaufort and Colleton
COMMITTEES will remember. In the section of the
country where Father Toumans lived and
preached, there lived an old Methodist preach
er. and one of the best of men, Father McF.,
between whom and Father Toum2ns there was
the best good will and Christian fellowship:
Of course, they differed about baptism and
some other matters, but the doctrine about
which they differed most was predestination,
which Father Toumans preached in almost
every sermon, and against which Father McF.
waged an unceasing. war 1t chanced that one
cold Sunday morning, as they were going in
opposite directions to their appointments, they
met on a bridge over pretty bold creek, where
Immediately the battle was opened by shot
from Father McF "Good morning, brother
Toumans; how is predestination this cold,
frosty morning? "Oh," said Father lou
mans, "as strong as ever. 1t thrives in win
ter's cold, and in summers heat" And now a
thought occurred to Father McF. that proved
to be an unfortunate one for him and his cause.
'Do you say, brother Toumans, that it is pre-
destinated that am not to jump into this creek
this morning?" eyes, brother McF., do say
that it is predestinated that you are not TO
jump into this creek this morning, and you
can't do it." These words were hardly out of
brother Toumans' mouth, when Father McF.
was off his horse, and jumped into the water
up to his neck. &c Now" said he, shouting tri-
umphantly to Father Toumans, "where is your
predestination You said it was predestinated
I was not to jump into this creek, and l have
done it, Your predestination is drowned for
ever" "No," said Father Toumans, 'it is not
drowned, I was only mistaken. It is not for
poor, ignorant creatures to know the DEGREES
of God, until they have come to pass. Now
1 know that it was predestinated that you were
to Jump into this creek this morning, for no
man would have done such thing if it had
not been predestinated." With his anti-pre-
destination ardor considerably cooled by the
wetting, Father McF went on his way wet and
cold, while Father Toumans was doubtless
reioiced that he had been able to save his be-
loved doctrine from watery grave Working
Christian.

HUMoRs OF FINANCE. the great

committee of merchants and bank directo RS
called upon hard-headed old merchant for

the existing causes, and asked his view about
the remedy, be at last responded without a

you may, if you please, report to the public.
We have been spending too much money. Let

An Enumeration Scheme.

Many plans are suggested for the salvation
of this State, and it is almost universally ad-
mitted that the strongest hope Of our people
NAV be placed in immigration. The late Tax
PAYERS Convention encouraged this cause by
resolutions, and advised the people to be ear
nest in their endeavors to secure the influx of
large immigrant population. immigration So
cieties have be been formed all over the State
to promote this worthy cause and the people
seem disposed to aid by their money and resour-
ces. We neel larger and more thrifty laborlng
population, and by proper effort the State may
be rescued from the depth of misery, disgrace
and poverty into which she has fallen. To this
end we must all work.
The most feasible plan that we can think of
is the payment of so much money into COM
mon fund, called the Immigration, Fund, by
each tax payer as he pays taxes to the govern
ment. For instance man pays fifty dollars
State taxes-let him pay fifty dollars to the
immigration Fund, and so on to the amount of
taxes he pays to the present government. In
this way a large amount of money would be
raised and the country would be undoubtedly
restored to her former prosperity and wealth.
The money thus paid to the immigration
Fund will go into the hands of a receiver
whose duty it will be to expend it in securing
good class of foreign laborers, agriculturists
and mechanics, who will come to South Carroll
ma and settle on her soil, and develop her won
derful resources.
The receiver would be under the supervision
of financial board, to be composed of the
best and most honest men in the State, whose
duty it would be to take cognizance of his &C.
ton, and to advise with him about the proper
mode to secure the best class of immigrants for
our people, Agents would be appointed to
visit Europe and make personal selection of
Immigrants secured for our people. The I'm
migration Fund would be drawn on to pay the
passage of the immigrants to this country.
They would in this way secure comfortable
homes and be better satisfied
part of this immigration fund might be
devoted to bringing back to South Carolina
those of our citizens who emigrated to Texas
and have been robbed of their fortunes and
their health by association with the climate
and the criminals of that God -forsaken land.
This immigration fund, if the people will
look at it right, is a good thing. By the mode
we have suggested an immense amount of
money could be raised. In Abbevile county
alone sixty.eight thousand, eight hundred and
twelve dollars would be raised which would
bring us mammoth population and insure the
future of the county. Let the people consider
our suggestion, and, if they are patriotic and
truly desire their own good and their country's
glory, let them act upon it.-AbbeuiHe Me-

Economy.

Again and again we urge upon all young
men, who are just starting out in life, to make
it an invariable rule to lay aside certain pro-
portion of their income, whatever that income
may be. Extravagant expenditures occasion
a very large part of the suferings of great
majority Of people. And extravaganza is Who'll.
ly a relative term. That which is not at all
extravagant for one person, may be extremely SO
for another Expenditures-no matter how
small in themselves they may be-are always
extravagant when they come up fully to the
entire amount of PERSONS income.
The mode of living is almost entirely mat
ter of habit. 1t is just as easy to get on with
three-fourths of your income-whatever the
amount may be-as on the whole of it, if you
only think so, and restrict your expenditures
debt, embarrassment and dependence, may all
be avoided by firm and undertaking adhe-
renee To this rule.
One great aid in pursuing the course which
we have recommended, will be found in keep
ing an accurate account of all receipts and ex-
penditures. BY frequent reference to this, you
will see just what you can afford to expend,
without encroaching on your rule; and you will
also see what of expenditures you can most
conveniently curtail, or what you may even cut
off entirely.
There is great deal, too, in reflection and
forethought, in the expenditure ofyour money.
1t is very common remark that one person
will make the same amount 60 twice as far as
another This is owing to the employment of
greater prudence and judgment in buying.
Almost any amount of money can be thrown
away, and scarcely anything obtained forit, by
a thoughtless, careless spendthrift
We despise skinfints. But economy and
meanness are by no means identical. On the
contrary as it is easy for any one to see, an
unselish, judicious economy-a wise saving
furnishes the means not only of independence,
but of benevolence and generosity also.

Bows will be Bows.

Never lose heart because your boys are lit
tie wild. While you sadly call to mind the
things they have forgotten, you are Ignorant OF
the things they remember. 1t is the fashion
for boys to appear Indifferent to the counsels of
parents They have an idea that it is rather
the manly and handsome thing to take good
advice in dogged sort of way, just as they
take medicine, and very brave thing to dare
YOUR threat. All this is written in the code of
boyhood. We can't quite say with Emerson
that it is the bad boy who makes the good
man; and yet we have great deal OF sympa-
thy with that overfowing spirit of youth which
is sometimes little reckless and which fire.
ouently leads into mischief.
Just sit down, if you have such a son, and
recall your early days. 1t may be difficult tor
you, Just now, when you are in the middle OF
life, to see the fun which the boy finds in what
appears to you to be utterly foolish, or perhaps
wantonly evil; but if you will turn to the early
chapters of your own biography, you will
end yourself stopping up the spouts of the old
like waterfall, and you will recall the fun of
the gentleman's embarrassment, as he rushed
out into the rain, bareheaded, to find the cause
of the trouble, and thereby got an attack of the
rheumatism which laid him up for couple of
weeks.
Well, your boy is going through the same
experience, and, by-and-by, he will regard it
as you Go now, as an unutterly foolish thing,
and wonder where in the world the fun was.
The truth is, that all these pranks are as neces-
sary to bcyhood as the measles. They are the
result of ratural animal spirits, which can no
more be repressed than can the waters which
come bubbling up out of the sand.
We remember when very wild colt presen-
ted his heels to us in such forcible manner
that, before our surprise had vanished, we
| found oursef in little disguised heap on the
other side of the fve-rail fence. At the time,
we thought it an unhorsely thing to do, and
felt exceedingly like pelting the creature with
stones. But he came up to the fence with such
| demure and abashed look, and put his head
beneath the rail and snufed at US in such re-
pentant mood, that we concluded it was part of
| the necessary experience of the animal, and
cheerfully forgave him. Now, boys are coltish.
They never think of consequences. They only
have the fun of the thing in view.
Don't stop praying, and praying hopefully,
| for your children at such times. By keeping
close to the boys heart, and trying to appre-
ciate his side of the matter as well as your own,
you will keep control of him.

10 the Editors Of the Richmond Dispatch:

states:
"In Tue case Of the Southern Mutual Insu.
rance Company, of Richmond, Va, rs. Pr.
. hey, for the amount Of assessment made upon
him, which was before the court yesterday
the company took q non suit by Withdraw.
ing Juror. This case was tried as a test
case. The company has brought nearly u
hundred suits. against policy holders who
have refused to pay the assessment made
upon them. They say that the company has
sustained no loss sufficient to justify them in
making an assessment upon policy holders.
There are also, believe, other grounds upon
which the enforcement Of these assessments
will be resisted" ~! !, j.;
The non suit was suffered solely because
OF the absence Off witness by whom alone a
material fac. could be proved. At the next
trial OF the particular case alluded to, as also
the trial of each Of the other cases; this fact
will be established beyond cayiI, and will
complete the required proof. So far ms the |

only question tested was decided by the coult
