was at times interrupted by the President, who
warmly expressed his disbelief of some of the
charges quoted by Col. Lathers, and said that
he attributed much of this trouble in South
Carolina to the unwilingness of the white
people to come forward and form the State
Government at the time of reconstruction.
This, he said, forced Congress to call upon the
colored element.
As the delegation we're about retiring, Presi-
dent Grant expressed his good wishes for the
future prosperity Of the State, and his hope
that when. they came to lay their memorial
before Congress, some proper and practlcaolee z

TIE WAY TO ENCOURAGE IMMIGRATION.
Major Melchers, the State Commissioner of
immigration, in a circular letter to the Com
missioncrs in the interior, says
'I have been assured by competent authority,
that with $4,000 and $4,000 acres of land do
mated some 10000 families may be brought to
the State by next winter. Without induce
ments to offer to immigrants none will come, as
the West and other Southern States are i'll the
field to get all the immigrants that come.
Tennessee, for instance has offered 1G0 600 acres
of land gratis to be divided in alternate sections
to Immigrant families; and Virginia has ap-
propriated 5000 for the same purpose. lam
happy tosay, that in some Counties Of the State,
the people have offered lands at very low prices,
and given some gratis; but the movement
should be general, and every County should do
all in its power to induce immigrants to settle
in our State"
Since issuing this letter, says the Charleston
News and Courier Major Mclchers has received
information that Col. J. B. Moore, of States
burg, has donated 5000 acres of land, to be
given to immigrants, in alternate sections OF fifty
acres. This gentleman comprehends the situ-
alton. White Immigrants will not remain in
South Carolina as hired laborers. Their natu-
raj and proper desire is to have farms of their
own. They will come and stay if land begiven
them; especially as more money will be made
here than in the exclusively grain-growing
States. Otherwise, they will continue to 60
West.

THE SERPENT OF ArPETITE.-It is an old
Eastern fable that certain king once suffered
the Evil One to kiss him on either shoulder.
Immediately there sprang therefrom two SER
pents, who furious with hunger, attacked the
man, and strove to eat into his brain. The now
terrified king strove to tear them and cast them
from him, when he found, to his horror, that
they had become part of himself.
Just SO it is with every one who becomes a
slave to his appetite. He may yield in what
seems very little thing at first; even when
he finds himself attacked by the serpent that
turks in the grass, he may fancy he can cast
him off. But alas he finds the thirst for strong
drink has become part of himself. 1t would
be almost as easy to cut off his right hand.
The Door poet Burns said if barrel of rum
was placed in one corner of the room, and a
loaded cannon in another, pointing toward
him, ready to be fired if he approached the
barrel he had no choice but to 60 to the rum.
The person who first tcmpts you to take a
glass may appear very friendly. II was not a
Dart from Satan aimed at the fatcd king He
only rave him a kiss. But the serpent that
sprang from it was Just as deadly for all that.
O, be careful of letting this serpent of appe-
tite get possession of you, for it will be mir
acle of grace, indeed, if you are ever able again
to shake him off.
Guard against every sin, dear children, how
ever small let it not gain hold upon you
Pray to be kept from temptation in every form,
and think not that in your own strength you
can battle against it-Youths Temperance
