How to Succeed.

The first requisite to success is not to
undertake an pnwise and impracticable
thing. For this reason, the advice often
inculcated by wise and great men has
been to give much time and reflection
to the formation of plans. Be slow to
decide; but having resolved, be prompt
to act. 1t is not sufficient, by any
means, to be prompt in beginning to act.
That is easy to every one. 1t is the
continued, persevering, unfagging ac-
tivity, which alone aceomplishes great
results. - The temptations which beset
one 'ssteps &c every stage TO divert his
attention from the main pursuit he has
fixed on are almost innumerable, and to
theairresolute4and weak they are found
irresistible. This accounts for numer-
Gus failures. If man has not attained
to what he started for it will almost al
ways be found that he has been attend
ing to something else. The song of the
bird by the wayside fell upon his ear
and charmed his senses, or the bright
flower caught his eye, and he fingered,
when his pace should have been onward
and firm and quick. If you would in
sure success in your undertaking, what
ever it may be, let nothing divert your
attention from it. Leave nothing un-
done, no matter how seemingly little
and unimportant it may be, which is
calculated to promote its accomplish
ment. IEhereis no other wayto make
sneessss certain It is nctlack. 1t de-
ponds en- doing, .doissg,s DOING Yet
simple as'the lesson of success is-few
as are its requisites-there IS nothing
that people are slower to learn Nesc

Frcm the Kcowce Courier
a Card.

Mr.. f. g.. Hoffman, Special Deputy
Collector, in an article in the Char
loston News and Courier, defends tho
rondact Of the revenue officials in
Pickens and Oconce Counties. He
states that the information as to my
treatment by these worthless 'is equ-
ally fnlse," with the statement made
by Mr.. Neal, of Pickens, as to their
conduct at his house. Fearing that
Mr. Hoffman's momory is short, I will
again publish for his benefit exactly
what did take place: On the Goth
day OF March. 1878, while at work in
my farm in Pickens County, twenty
or more mounted men, many Of them
under the influence of whiskey, oharg.
cd upon me with thoir guns and piss

member of the gang. was placed
in custody and carried to Walhalla
on tho 2lst Of the same month, dis
tance of twenty miles, and there re-
leased, to appear before the United
States Commissioners in Pickons. No
warrant or authority for this arrest
was shown to me until we arrived at
Walhalla. The warrant purportod to
have been issued by Mr.. Thornley,,
of Pickans; but he has since assured
mo that he did not issue the warrant.
1t must, therefore, have been a for
gerry. This crowd of miscellaneous
humanity, at the time of my arreut,
entered the dwelling Of my mother,
some armed and some at the door
with their pistols cooked. She is
nearly eighty years of age and very
feeble. They searched her house, and
attempted to open trunks andsboxes.
Their authority was demanded, but
none was, produced. Gary turned up
my mothers bed with his gun and
looked vulgarly about it. Ny moth
Gr's house was searched up stairs and
down stairs. Ono of the crowd had a
jug of whiskoy around his neck, and
nearly oil of them wore under the in.
fiuencept liquor. A man called by the
crowd "Hoffman," was present. One
of my neighbors, Phillip Chapman
was arrested at the same time, car.
