Senator Butler. it is said, apologizesfor
Patterson's past sins, and thinks he ought
to be forgiven for all on account Of his
recent vote. This might do very well if
sour Senator was the only party interested,
but as the people of South Carolina have
been maligned, abused and pilfered by
this man and his tools, we think their
Representatives should see to it that de-,
served punishment is meted Quito him
and all men like him.

MAKING Fun OF PEopLE.-Once
when travelling on stage coach. says
writer in contemporary met with
young lady who seemed to be upon
the constant lookout for something laugh
able. Every old barn was made the
subject OF joke, while the cows and
sheep looked demurely at us, little
dreaming that folks could be merry at
their expense.
All this was, perhaps, harmless nough.
Animals are not sensitive in that res
pect. They are not likely to have their
feelings injured because people make
fun OF them; but when We come to hu-
man beings, that is quite another thing
So it seemed to me: tor after a while
the fields, lifting up her hand 10 the
coachman, and in shrill voice beg
ging him to stop. The good-naturcd
coachmen drew up his horses, and the
old lady, coming to the fence by the
roadside, squeezed herself out between
twoposts which were very near together.
The young lady in the stage-coach
made some ludscrous remark, and the
passengers laughed. 1t seemed very
excusable;, tor in getting through the
fence. the poor woman made sad work
with her old black bonnet; and row,
taking seat beside well-dressed lady,
really looked as if she had been blown
there by whirlwind.
This was new piece OF fun, and the
girl made the most of it. She cariea-
tured the old lady upon card: pre-
tended to make a pattern Of her bonnet:
and in various other ways sought to
raise . laugh at her.
At length the poor woman turned a
pale face, tow ards her and said
My dear girl, You are now young,
asd healthy, and happy. I have been
50 too, bat that time is past. ] am now
old and forlorn. The coach is taking
me to the death bed of nv only child,
and then, my dear. shall be a poor old
woman, all alone in the world. where
merry girls will think rue very anus
ing object. They will laugh at my old
fashioned clothes and sad appearance.
forgetting that the old woman has
loved and suffered, and will 1--we forever"
|. The coach now stopped before poor
looking house. and the old lady feebly
descended the steps.
"How is she - Was the first tremb-
ling inquiry Of the mother.
"Just alive said the man who Was
leading her into the house.
The driver mounted his boz and We
were upon the road again. Our merry
young friead had placed the card in her
pocket She was leaning her head upon
her hand; and you may Be sure that I
Was not sorry 10 see tears upon her
fair young chesk. Il was . good les
son, and one which We greatly hoFed
would do her good.
