y FEW PRECEPTs FROM CONFUCIUs.
Be severe 10 yourself and indulgent to
others; you thus avoid all resentment.
The wise man makes equity and JUS
tice the basis of all his conduct; the
right forms the rule Of his behavior;
Difference aud mOdesty mark his eXte-
rior sincerity, and fidelity serve him for
accomplishment.
Love virtue and the people will be
virtuOus; the virtue of great man is
like the wind; the virtue of the humbl
Is like grass; when the wind passes
over it the grass iuclines its head.
Children should practice fiiial piety at
home, and fraternal Difference abroad;
they should be attentive i'm their ac-
tions, sincere and true in their words,
loving all with the whole force of their
affection.
Return equity and justice for evil
done to you, and pay goodness by good
ness.
without the virtue Of humanity, one
eau neither be honest in pOvery nor
cOnteuted in abundance.
Real virtue consists i'm Integrity of
heart and loving your neighbor as your
self.
What desire that others should not

them.
Think not OF faults committed i'm the
past when one has reformed his conduct.

WO1IAN's CLUB.-We, as q nation,
are now making our beginnings i'm art
The greatest sculptOrs and painters
America uas produced are living men
to-day. Art has no history here. Art,
historically, art, in its relations to civ
iliZatiou, art, in its influence upon per
souai character, art, as an RutgrOwth Of
life and "a power upon life, furnishes
subject that may well interest "a group
Of women for "a winter not only, but for
many winters. We know of girls who
are as much interested in works on pO-
litical economy as if they were novels.
We can hardly imagine anything more
interesting to q club of bright girls who
have left school than winter IN pOiti-
cal economy. The subject may be pur-
sued simply as matter of social read
ing and discussion, or each may be
charged with gathering the disiin-
guIshed views of given writers and pre-
sentiug them in brief. The great point
is to- get together and To become inter
ested together IN some region of knOwl-
edge or art or exalted human concern.
Life with men is active, exciting, eX-
hausting. The club life of men is very
rarely intellectual, and very rarely in
any way elevating. Much of it debases
u
and its selfish separation from the fam
I lily life. A womau's club should al
ways BE- an addition to the family life,
and so transform a home into temple.
There are many women In the world
| who wish they were men. There Is not
one man who wishes be were woman.
I The simple reason is that woman has
/ not vet learned how to give flavor tC
/ her life. We do not believe that God
| has made the lot Of the sexes unequal
I When woman shall make the best anC
most of her life, she will spend no time
/ i'm wishing for a cOarser nature auC
rougher lot than her own. Let hel
avail herself of the means at her hanC

work will be done. That she may theI
conquer the realm that legitimately il
hers, we put the club IN her hand ant
beg her to use it.-ScrijHCr's Monthly

How To CURE a SORE THROAT
zone who has tried iti communicates
the following seasonable article about
curing the sore throat: Let each one of
your half million readers buy at any
drug store one ounce OF eamphOrated oil
and five cents worth of chlorade Of pot
ash. Whenever any soreness appears
in the throat, put the potash in half a
tumbler OF water, and with it gargle the
throat thoroughly, then rub the throat
thoroughly from the outside with cam
phOrated oil at night before going TO
bed, and also pin around the throat a
small piece Of flannel. This isa simple,
cheap, aud sure remedy.

RElIE3IBRANCEs.-A fire old High
lander told me last year how the year
before he had gone back to the glen he
had left half a century ago, where no
man knew him or remem bered him.
But said he, "I heard of one woman
alive, up the glen, whom I had thought
we'll of as a lassie, and she of me, in
shy way; till, you see, we had no trOth
between Us 10 make things sure, and so
the strain Of time and distance broke
the thread. I settled down hereaway,
and the memory Of it was all but dead,
until / heard her name. Then, I said,

whether she had also lost all track of
me- for il was rather sad, We see, to be
left out in the cold in this way. She
came to the door, a white-haired wom-
an, so altered it was hard to mind her
at all. She looked at me in wonder
ing way, gave one sharp cry, and said
'Johni Is that you, after ALP I asked
her, after while, how she knew me;
and she answered, The heart never for

out into remembrance, and made all

D- SUCCESSFULLY ACCOMPLISHED
We have on several occasions alluded
to the FIGURING Mill erected by our en-
,erprising townsman, Mr.. Jno. II. Duke,
and we are now glad to inform the pub
lie that the mill is about completed.
When Mr.. Duke first thought OF build
ing his mill, some persons wished him
to employ mechanics from elsewhere to
do the work, but Mr.. Duke being a
man Of good business insight, concluded
That we lad mechanics in our town who
were competent enough to undertake
the Job. So be at once engaged our eff
ficient carpenters and millwrights, the
Messrs. Barnhart, and the result was
that he has to-day one of the finest
FIGURING Mills in the Valley. The mill
is now in condition for grinding both
wheat and corn, and Mr.. Duke says he
de6es competition in the manufacture
of superior article of -four and meal,
We fully agree with him, for We can
testify to the quality of both. Mr. Duke
calls upon his old friends and patrons,as
well as all others, to bring in their
grain, as be is now ready 10 grind.

LET US ALONE.

The constant meddling by the repub-
lican press in the local affairs OF the
Southern States, doubtless conveys the
idea 10 the minds of many foreign read
ers that they are subordinate provinces,
or an inferior class Of people, not com
petent of managing their own affairs
This egotism, this right down imrerti-
nence, belongs to puritanical offc'ous-
ness. And any President who lends
his ear to the INSCRIPTIONS manufactur-
ed bloody shirt, scare-crow harangues
of such people, will disgrace himself
and keep the country in turmoil
The history of this country shows in
which geographical division the great
est wisdom and patriotism of the people
exist.

BONE MILL.

There probably is no matter entering
into the necessary concomitant OF sue
cesSlul farming more essential to the H.
terests of the farmers OF this county,
than the establishing at some conven-
lent point for receiving and shipping
the article than bone mill. 1t is ad-
mitted by the scientist, and experience
tes;ifies, that as the products OF the
earth contribute 10 the formation OF
bone, that in putting into soluble
state and return to the earth, you are
restoring that which has been taken
away. Economy would suggest the
propriety of every family in the county
husbanding the bones that necessarily
are accumulated in every household, so
that they could be bought and utilized,
which can only be done TO advantage
BY our having first class bone mill
within our county. We have abundant
water power, which can be procured on
reasonable terms. Each farmer in the
county can well afford to take ONE OR
MORE shares of stock at ten dollars per
share, and get half Of it back in every
ton OF bone he buys, and there are none
ba, what ought to and who will be
obliged to use bone, or else be satisfied
with half crops.

THE CAUSE OF CRIME.

1t is admitted that the natural ten
dency of mankind isto evil, and that
the terror of both Divine and human
law.is required to restrain its too fire.
quent exercise. The more rigid the
law, and the more exact in its enforce
men:, the more restraining in its influ-
ence in subduing and controlling the
evil passions of the human character.
Imprisonment in our jails, and even in
the penitentiaries, often tends to violate
and make bad character worse, by as
ISOLATION, and also because it gives to
many the benefit of greater comfort
than they enjoy when out of them.
Gov. Seymour, Of New York, i'll late
article contributed by him to Harpers
Magazine, on "Crirne," saYs of jails that
thew are common schools OF vice, and
as between the Jail and the lash, he III
clines TO the latter.
We have on several occasions alluded
70 this false sentiment which denomi-
mates the whipping POST as relic OF
barbarism. II is a potential terror to
the evi,-doer, and should stand in its
moral grandeur ON The hil[tops OF our
land, throwing It's silent admonishing
rays across the pathway Of the reckless
and wicked.
We hope somo member OF our next
Legislature will have the moral courage
and good of society sufficiently at heart
TO Introduce bill for the public fog
ging Of criminals for crime.

TnE REnkELEY COUNTY CIRCUIT

THE BERKELEY COUNTY CIRCUIT
CouRr.-MAkrlNsBURG, Nov. 26.-The
Circuit Court for Berkeley county com
menced its fall term in this city to-day.
In the charge to the Grand Jury the
Judge (uon John Blair Hoge, of the
Third circuit,) made very particular re-
ference to the increase of crime within
the jurisdiction of the Court, and refer
red with much emphasis to the violation
of the statutes prohibiting the carrying
of concealed weapons. TO this violation
he attributed the increase of murder
and homicide of every kind. Ordinary
collisions and quarrels, instead of end
ing in petty assaults, often rise to the
dignity of murder, simply with the
readiness with which the pistol and
knife may lie employed.
Three indictments for murder, with
others for less offences, were returned
by the Grand Jury, when they were adj
journed over. II is understood that to-
morrow they will rigidly investigate
the full charges of carrying concealed
weapons, and indict without respect to
persons.
The trial of John B. Files for the
killing of Jeremiah Noffsinger will come
up on Monday, and the other murder
case will follow. In these two cases
much interest is exhibited. The best
legal ability Of Berkeley and Jefferson
has been employed.
