FAITHFUL MEN NEEDED.

We fear sometimes that in our anxiety to
put summary end to corruption in the ad-
ministration Of public affairs, that our strength
may be expended in establishing system of
checks and balances, while the real source of
the evil is allowed to grow and strengthen in
power. While we admit, as Governor Cham
berlain clearly pointed out in his inaugural,
that some of the methods Of former admins
tratons were defective, in that they did not
place sufficient safeguards around the dis.
bursement of public funds, we are clearly Of
the opinion that they would have been found
all sufficient had those who were charged with
the control of affairs been both competent and
honest. tits true that defective methods will
sometimes render powerless single honest Of
ficer, as against a combination of others who
are dishonest ; but the power of exposure still
remains with the honest officer.
Our purpose is not to oppose the recommen-
dations of the governor in this particular, for,
as we recall them, they seem to us all good,
and, if adopted, calculated to greatly assist
the present endeavor to secure honest govern
ment.
The real source of the evil We are discussing

pointed to office. South Carolina although
suffering greatly, does not stand alone in her
affliction; and the evil elsewhere, as here, is
attributable mainly to the corrupt political
bargaining of selfish and unscrupulous leaders
whereby superserviceable knaves and ignorant
boobies are foisted into places of trust and
power Primarily, Of course, this evil is
based upon the ignorance or indifference of
the voters of the State, and nothing but edu-
cation and experience can act as permanent
cure. But this is work of time, and the
same apathy and Indifference which impels
men in responsible positions to recommend or
demand the appointment of ignorant and dis
honest officers will retard or Illustrate every
effort for the enlightenment of the people.
Hence, it is an immediate duty, resting upon
the representatives of the people, to stand up
squarely to the expressed determination of the
governor in the matter Of appointments to Of
flee. Ifhe goes astray, let them check him,
but in no case allow personal feeling, or the
desire to control local election, or the pres

"Ha pretty little maid" he exclaimed, in
a foreign accent. "What are you doing out
here, alone ?"
"Nothing," said Carrie, gravely. "Im
waiting"
"Waiting, hap said the man, glancing up
and down the road. "Where do you live, my
pretty?"
"Back there" said Carrie, pointing in the
direction from which she had come.

"My names Carrie Blandford.'
"Shall I give you a ride home, Carrie ?
Would you like to sit in front of me, on my
pretty horse ?"
Now Carrie had passion for horses, and
was never happier than when her papa took
her, as he often did, on the saddle in front of
him, and cantered slowly with her up and
down before the house. She looked up at the
man shyly, half:smile breaking over her
tear-stained face.
"See what beauty of a horse" continued
the latter, patting the animals glossy, arched
neck "and he's as gentle and good as little
dog! Come will you ride?'
"Will you take me home? p asked Carrie.
"Oh yes, I'll take you home. Give me
your little hand-there !-ah here you are !!
Now isn't that pleasant"
"Ye-yes," said Carrie, half frightened and
half pleased, as she found herself seated in a
twinkling on her high perch, to which she
was lifted almost unawares. "But I'm cold

"Oh I have something that will keep you
warm" said the man, and he pulled out Of
his pocket long crimson scarf, very soft and
fine, that reminded Carrie of her mammals
canton.crape shawl, and twisted round her,
covering her shoulders and arms and haxen
curls completely with its silky folds, so that
only part of her face was left out. She
looked very odd, certainly, mufied up in this
style, so that no one passing by could possibly
have recognized her; but the sense of warmth
and comfort was grateful to her little chilled
frame, and she cuddled up quite fearlessly to
her new protector, who held her closely in his
strong arm.

bride, and the horse instantly started off at
faster pace than Carrie had ever ridden be-
fore-so fast that her breath seemed to leave
her, as trees and fences went flying by. On,
on they went-a long, long way, it seemed to
her, and yet they did not get home-they
never got home!

SOMETHING HE COULDN'T SELL.-A gen.
tlenan was walking with his little boy at the
close of the day, and passing the cottage of a
German laborer, the boys attention was at
tracted by dog. 1t was not King Charles,
nor black and tan, buta common cur. Still
the boy took fancy to him, and wanted
"pa" to buy him. Just then the owner of the
dog came home from his labors, and was met
by the dog with every demonstration of dog
joy. The gentleman said to the owner, "My
little boy has taken fancy to your dog, and
I will buy him. What do you ask for him ?"
"I can't sell dat dog," said the German.
"Look here," said the gentleman, "that is
poor dog any way, but as my boy wants him,
I will give you FIVE dollars for him." "Yaas,

EATING BEFORE SLEEPING.-It is COM
mon mistake to suppose that eating before
sleeping is injurious. Not at all unfrequently
does it happen that people are sleepless for
want of food, and little taken either when
they first go to bed, or when they thus wake
sleepless, will generally be found more efica-
cious and of course infinitely less injurious
than any drug in the chemists pharmacopeoia.
These are the physical remedies for sleepless-
ness which have the best recommendation.
AS for the moral ones, there is certainly
good deal more to be said. Perhaps the most
Stringent of all rules are: "Avoid anxiety"
and "Don't 90 to bed owing anybody a
grudger Chewing the bitter end of quar-
rel is thousand fold more injurious to repose
than swallowing whole teapotful of the very
greenest of green tea.
n1~ Ofall the love affairs in the world, none
can surpass the true love Of big boy for his
mother. 1t is love pure and noble, honora-
BILE in the highest degree to both. 1 do not
mean merely dutiful affection. ! mean a
love which makes boy gallant and courteous
to his mother, saying to everybody plainly
that he is fairly in love with her. Next to
the love of her husband, nothing so crowns a
woman's life with honor as this second love,
this devotion of the son to her. l never yet
knew boy to turn out bad who began by
falling in love with his mother.
