"CoME AND SEE ME."-Never take "come
and see me" as phrase meant in earnest un
less it is accompanied with date. Such an
invitation amounts to nothing at all. If
lady or gentleman desires your company, he or
she will appoint time for your visit. "Call
on me when you can make it convenient"
"drop in as you are passing" make US visit
whenever you have an hour or two to spare"
are social antiquities by which men and wo-
men of the world understand that they are
not expected to do the thing requested.
When people wish to be cheaply polite there
is nothing like this kind of vagueness. The
complimentary small change Of society must
always be taken at large discount. 1t is
never worth its face, or anything like it. Yet
it is a convenient medium Of exchange, and
heavy debts of gratitude that ought to be re-
Quilted in better coin, are often paid with it.
People who have more polish than principle
use it lavish ly-plain, blunt, honest men spar
ngly or not at all. Whoever makes friend
ly visit to fashionable house on the strength
of mere "Come and see me" will very often
find that the family circle he has dropped
into by request is as ungenial as the Arctic
circle, and he will probably leave it with
chilly feeling that will prevent him from ven.
turing into the same high latitude again. But
when whole-souled man, whom you know to
be your friend, grasps you vigorously by the
hand and says, "Come and dine with me to-
day-dinner on the table at FIVE o'clock-be
sure to come, we shall expect you" you can
take it as certain that your presence is warm
ly desired It is pleasant always to make or.
receive a visit from friend, but nod on the;
street is all.sufhcient from fashionable ac-
auantance.

HIS WIFE'S COUSIN.

Years ago Tom Stafford and wife came from
Vermont and settled in Boston, finding y
comfortable dwelling on Hanover Street.
Tom was carpenter, steady and hard-work-
ing, Just and upright, and he meant if posi-
Bile, to lay good strong foundation of mate
rial things for the coming life of himself and
family.
Late on Saturday afternoon, just as Tom
was coming from his work, horse was pull
ell up before his door. Behind the horse was
a wagon, and in the wagon were man and
a woman and child. As Tom came up, he
recognized Abel Lander, his wife's cousin
from Vermont; also Mrs. Lander and Miss
Lander. 1t was before any railroads were
opened northward from Boston.
Hello, Tom! Here we be-" cried Abel,
recognizing his wife's stalwart cousin as he
came up. Matilda Jane and | have come
to see ye, just as we said we would"
With good grace, Stafford received his vis-
tors, and ushered them into the house, where
his wife welcomed them cheerfully.
"Now, Tom," said Abel, after the trunk
and bandbox had been lifted out, where is
yer barn?" -,
II have no barn, nor have stable" :"
returned Tom, with smile. "You will have
to take your horse around to stable on Elm
street"
"Sho Yer don't keep horse. eh ?"
"No-I don't have no use for one."
Well, who'd thought it But suppose
We have to be different here in the CITY,"
1--WE have to live within our means, Abel'
"Yaas,-sartin. Of course,-I see. And
now s'pose'n yer show me where that ere stable
u.s."
Tom showed him to Wilde's Tavern, where
the horse was safely put up.
Abel Lander, wife and child, stuck and
hung for two weeks and two days. 1t was a
sore trial to both Tom and his wife, but they
bore it bravely.
At length the morning for departure came,
and Abel went around after his horse. Pret-
ty soon he came back breathless and indig-
nant.
Whats the matter ?" asked Tom.
"Why, them fellers won't let me have my
horse"
Wont let you have your horse?"
"Not 'thout pay 'em ten dollars for keep
in of him."
well, should say that was cheap enough
for keeping and caring for horse sixteen or
seventeen days.
Observation-Disclosures yer see we come
vsitin' you and your wife, I'm your wife's
own cousin"
Exactly" said Tom, with tightening lip /;
"and we've tried to take good care ofyou. l
recognized the relationship to my wife of
yourself, and Matilda Jane, and your child ;
''but I'm blessed if l can see on ,ohat step Of
relationship you can lug IN your horse :"
Abel took the hint and went to Wilde's
and got his horse.
The trunk and the bandbox we're put into
the wagon Matilda Jane and the child were
seated, and after Abel had got in and gather
ed up the reins, Tom distinctly heard him NUT
ter:
II swan! eff that amt mean! I guess
when come visitin' hear ag'in they'll know
it!'
But Tom did not accuse himself, nor did
he borrow any trouble about the implied
threat.

YORKVILLE ENQUIRER.
VOLUME 22.--1S76.

THE YORKvILLE ENQUIRER, which, on
the lst of January 1876 will enter upon the TwEN-
TY-sEcOND volume. is large, twenty-eght COL
umn paper, handsomely printed on clear legiole
type, and devoted to the POLITICAL, SOCIAL, AG-
R1cuLrgRAL AND DCoMMERcIALINTEREsTs OF THE
SOUTH. In announcing the new volume. we are
enabled to promise increased attractions in all the
different departments of the paper, conspicuous
among them being the SERIAL STORIES written
expressly for the ENQUIRER. q"
As non bipartisan, independent family newspa-
per, the future editorial conduct of the ENQUIRER
can be as well judged by the past as by any prom
ise which we might now feel disposed to make.
An experience Of thirty-five years in the newspa-
per business-of which time at least one-half has
been unremittingly devoted to the management
Of the ENoUIRER-fully conyinces the proprietor
that the plan he adopted on assuming control OF
the paper is the correct mode ofjournalism in the
present day. The true mission Of the newspaper
is to place before the public facts as they may exist,
unbiased by partisan feelings or sinister motives
and the propriety of this is fully attested,
not only by the success of the ENQUIRER, which
can truthfuly claim the largest circulation Of any
country newspaper in the South, but also by many
other of the most popular and widely circulated
papers of the day. The course thus indicated we
shall continue to pursue, aiming to publish
LITERARY AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER,
which shall be q welcome visitor to the Home Cir
Gle, 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 be conducted with the utmost care,
and only facts as they seem to exist will be pre-
tod fr contnna1 or Marty hiay.
