The author Of ''Tbe French at Home"
says that in his walk, one morning. be
saw man pulled out Of the water, ap-
parently drowned. He was laid on the
right side, the face turned toward the
ground, and the jaws gently opened to
facilitate the escape Of water. Several
times the head was placed little lower

purpose, but only for few seconds at

CHRISTIAN SOCIETY.

No cOngenial heart to welcome you !;
no empty chair beside the pleasant
hearth-stOne; no cheerful christian con-
versation to mIngle with your daily toll !;
DO warm and hearty gasp Of the hand,
from those with whom you mingle, and
a chill instead Of warm friendship
Is experienced as you cross the threshold
Of the sanctuary; these are a part Of
a multitude Of losses a young christian
separated from home associations exper-
fences, leading them to believe all pro
fess0rs are not brothers and sisters to
the stranger.
With no enrObling christian society
for them to frequent; their room, their
books, their lonely thoughts, alone for
companions. no wonder lOnliness drives
many to the bars and saloons where
pleasant rooms and society are ever
waiting to welcome a stranger.
These being facts, is it any wonder
multitudes Of young christians fall to
rise no more ?
This is a day Of refreshing. and thou
sands are Just commencing to walk in
the straight and narrow way. and is it
not time for christians 70 be looking
around them to see that none fall near
their thresholds, for the want Of that
love and christian sympathy those loving
our blessed Saviour are in duty bound
70 bestow on their brothers and sisters
in Christ? C.

SOCIAL LEANNESS.

The American farmer. in all his plan
ming. and all his building. has never
made provisions for life. He has only
considered the means Of getting living.
Everything outside Of this-everything
relating to society and culture-has been
steadily ignored. He gives bis children
the advantages Of schools, not recogni1-
ing the fact that these very advantages
call into life 4 new set Of social wants.
A bright vell-eiucated family. in q
lonely farmhouse. Is very different ma
terial from family brought up in ignor-
anoe. An American farmers children,
who have had few terms at a neigh
boring academy, resemble in no degree
the children Of the European peasant
They come home with new ideas and
new wants, and if there is no provision
I made for these new wants, and they find
no opportunities for their satisfaction,
they viii be ready. on reaching their
majority, to fy from the farm and seek
the city.
If the American farmer wishes to
keep his children near him, be must
learn the difference between living and
getting living; and We mistake him
and his grade Of culture altogether If
be does not stop over this statement and
wonder what We mean BY it To get
living, to make money, to become fore
handed this is the whole Of life to
agricultural multitudes, discouragiBg in
their numbers. to contemplate To them
there Is no difference between living and
getting living. Their whole life con-
sists in getting living and when their
families come back to them from school
ing, and find that really. this Is the
only pursuit that has any recognition
under the parental roof, they must 70

the cities and the girls follow them if
they can A young man or q young
woman, raised 70 a point where they ap-

farmers children must be kept ignorant

ting with the Executive Committee Of
the Society here, to make the Fair here
a grand success, and that whilst we
have an exhibition which shall reflect
honoron the county, we shall have big
crowd to witness it-such a crowd as
Abbeville alone can furnish, with bril-
liant contributions from the adjoining
Counties. In most Of the departments
the exhibitions of past years have been
worthy of all praise, and in some re-
spects have equaled the State exhibitions
in Columbia. Let US resolve to surpass
all preceding exhibitions, and make
this Fair the stepping stone to bearing
off the prize, which is offered in Co.
lumbia to the foSmost County in the
State. Unusual attractions in the way
of tableaux, charades, &C., will be pre-
sented to draw visitors, and the occa-
sion will doubtless attract large crowd.
The weather will likely be pleasant, and
the occasion will furnish all those pleas.

let us make the Fair of 1875 a grand
success.

Buy Provisions.

The atlanta Constitution gives an es'
innate of the receipts during the present
year, of provisions and guano, and the
shipment of cotton at Stone Mountain,
Ga, from which it appears that the sup,
plies received amounted to SSs, $685.
and the guano to 100000, making
$l23, ,562.95; whilst the cotton exports
amounted to $lS2, $4,000. 1.-THE cotton"
says the Constitution, drought in $751;
l67. .05 more than the amount paid out
for supplies and fertilizers. But when
the amount expended for sugar, coffee,
clothing and other necessaries, is count
ed, that excess melts away. Every one
of the articles covered by the $50, ,652.95
can be, and ought to be, produced at
home. Admitting that the purchase OF
guano is an absolute necessity, the item
of S36, 600 may be retained.
The articles named in the $S9, ,652.95
list may be placed at too high figures,
but the prices named were actually OBJ
tanned. Bring the price of cotton down
to 10 cents pound and we still have the
sum of Sl2l, $50. Let the farmers of
Stone Mountain raise their supplies,
even if it costs $4,000. Then should
they purchase guano at cost of S35 900,
they will have an excess Of over S65, 600,
which excess would be kept at home to
increase the volume of circulation.
Can there be any stronger argument in
favor of farmers raising their own sup
plies?
