Most of the colored emigrants who

Most of the colored emigrants who
went to Liberia in the Azor are yearu-
ing to return. Letters continually ap-
pear in our exchanges begging friends
OR former masters to bring them
back. Among others, Rufus Clark,
who from his letter APPEARS to be a
very intelligent fellow, writes to
Mes srs. Walker & Trenholm, Of
Charleston, that if they will advance
the money to bring himself and fami-
ly back, he will bind himself and
family to them until the money is re-
paid. While those dupes who have
gone out will hardly see America again,
their fate may teach lesson to their
brethren in the South who are dis
contepted with their present lot. Iu-
deed, it may be laid down as a gene
raj rule applicable to every class now
adays, that wherever an individual is
managing to make subsistence in
any place he had better stick right
there. Nine out of ten who emigrate
do not better their condition, while
many are worse off than before.

THE 'TksA7gs'S- YARN.

"Qnad Box writes in the Ameu
can Newspaper Reporter There
are but few printers throughout
tho country but what have seen
or heard Of George Washington
Machette, probably the oldest
tramp printer on the road. He
says lie has tramped across the con-
tincnt seven times, and has visited
almost every printing Office in
tie Union. The following is 8
story related by him on his last
trip through this place: He was
on one of his long walks, and had
got as far west as Kansas, and
had found little work during his
journey but one day he "struck"
u small town with one printing
office in it. He went up to the
Office, and found the editor scratch
ing away with his pen, and the
"devl!' seated upon i stool. he
asked the editor how work was.
I and what was the chance for a
"sit," and upon being told that he
might have a job for few days,
and that he could 60 to work at
once, he asked where he would
find the type and cases, and was
told that the typo Was upstairs in
a sack, and that be would have to
Chalk his case out on the floor.
He went TO work and marked ou;
his case and laid the type. He
worked ali the week, and when
Saturday night came he went to
the ''boss" fer his money where
upon Inc lattcr went up stairs
and threw down two coon skins,
and explained to e. w. that they
were currency in that country.
George had to make tbs best of
it; so be threw the coon skins
over his shoulder and started
down town to store. He got
some tobacco, paper of pins, and
some thread and threw down
coon skin 10 pay for it. The
s:orekeeper took the coon skin,
and banded him back two squirrel
skins and one opossum skin in
change. Machette told the story
with a relish, and after taking
collection, departed on his weary
way.

FREE SCHOOLS.

The Barnwell People says:
"The free school system so far has
proved a signal failure. The schools
in this county generally close after a
session of eleven weeks for the scholas-
tic year.
We undertake to say that the little
instruction acquired by the pupils
during this limited time will be for
gotten before aDot her year opens, and
and the money so far spent might as
we'll have been thrown in the fire for
all the good it has done the cause Of
education.
There is certainly something rad
ically wrong in the whole system, and
We call upon our Representatives to
use every endeavor to have the stat
ute book purged of our present cum
berso;ne school act. It was never In
tended for such State as South
Carolina, and as little suited to the
wants of our people and their social
and political condition Or their spar
sely settled territory, as Locke's grand
constitutional model was for the first
settlers who bull; !heir log cabins on
the banks of the Ashley and Cooper.
We call upon the practical teachers
throughout the State to meet in con-
ventiou and to le: their protest be
heard against the continuance of a
system which has proved only de-
lusion and a snare both to teachers
and taught, and we would further
suggest that a memorial be drawn up
for presentation to the Legislature
embodyiug the leading features of
some practical school act that will
best utilize the bounty of the tax
payers so literally and yet so fruitless-
ly dispensed for the cause of edu~
cation"

! arose from beside her fathers bed

eyes shining like twin stars. 1t
was Louis DeMornay.
His face frightened with q sud-
den light as be went forward.
Taking her two tender hands
within bis own he turued to the
old father.
"See," he said gravely. "lt is
the will Of God that you should
give me Marion for my own. Her
steps have been led to my roof
tree by the hand Of fate. She is
to me the most precious treasure
in tho whole world. Will YOU
not give her to me ?"
The old man locke up into the
dark, earnest face. It's expression
Of sincerity could not be misinter-
preted, and iDsplte, be became for
the first time conscious Of his
noble, manly beauty. Then, too,
Marion's VOW ran through his
ears, and he turned his eyes Or
her, which was (;ka an April
morpipg-iirst smiles and then
tears.
At last he reached out 9 trem
bling hand and placed it upon
Marion's bright head,
"Take her." he said hoarsely.
1T is God's viii. and the lass
loves you. I'm not sure, if |
wouldn't give her up, but that
the poor BARN might soon be
without a sheltering rooftrec. The
worlds not gone well with me- Of
late, young man.
"That is because you slighted
Love, and the little tyrant is
angry" said Louis, playfulIy, as he
turned and looked Guestionlngly
into Mar;on's blushing face.
"Little one, is it true ? Do you
love me? Look up and toll"
She tried to raise her blue eyes
to his, but their radiance was too
powerful. Her aweot lips trem'
bled, but before the words came
they were drowned in a shower Of
tears.
Thus they were betrothed.

"Come in" said the farmer, who

LEGEND OF THE ROAD.

ALEGBND OF THE ROAD.
1t was two rival drummers
The merits that did blow
Of safes were in St. Louis made
And safes from Chicago.
They chanced upon merchant
Who fain safe would buy,
And in the praise Of their houses wares
The drummers twain did vie,
Each striving to see which could construct
The most colossal lie.
Up spake the St. Louis drummer,
"Once man cat did take
And locked the animal in safe
Of our superior make.
They made bonfire round the safe
With tar and kerosene,
And for four-and twenty hours it blazed
With raging heat, ween.
The fire went out, the safe was cooled,
And I will forfeit five
Hundred good dollars if that cat
Did not come out aive.'
Then mild upspake and answered him
The Chicago safe agent:
ssWith our safe one day We did essay
The same experiment.
We placed the safe selected on
Of Goals a frey bed,
And pitch pine we heaped in coal oil stepped
Till the iron g1owed bright red;
And in forty -eigh, hours we ope'd the safe,
And, alas the cat was dead!"
"Was dead? Aha!" his rival cried,
With triumphant breath;
But the Chicago man replied,
eyes, the cat was frozen TO death y
No word that St. Louis drummer spoke,
But silent he stood and wan,
While the Kansas merchant an order gave
TO the Chicago man.

A young man who gets a subor-
dinate situation sometimes thinks
it not necessary to give it much
attention. He will wait until be
gets a place Of responsibility, and
then he will show people what he
can do. This is a very great mis-
take. Whatever his situation may
be, he should master it in all it's
details, and perform all its duties
faithfully.

The DANGER OF CHEWING GUM.
Sweet are the diversions of in
nocent girlbood, but not always
harmless. Dainty Lida Ssaith,
Louisville lass, has had, during
the past year, no higher aspiration
than chewing gum, and the mo.
bility Of the lower section of her
countenance has increased from
week to week. On Saturday
week she was very thirsty, and
went to the kitchen to get drink
Of cold water; and when she re-
turned her jaws were moving
rapidly. Her mother told her to
throw the chewing gum away.
The girl pointed to the mantle
piece where she had laid her
mouthful of wax before going into
kitchen. There was nothing in
her mouth, and yet her jaws were
moving rapidly. Her mother
teased, implored, commanded the
child to keep her face straight,
and still the jaws were moving
rapidly. A physician came and
put tight bandage over the
child's mouth, but excitement in
creased'the action ofthe jaws, aud
the nervous twitching extended
to the upper part of her face. A
dose ofmorphinc was administered,
but through the night the jaws
were moving rapidly. 1t was not
until dawn that the muscular dis
turbance ceased. The physician
said that it was a case Of spas
modic action Of the facial muscles
caused by over action. Sweet six
teen, eject from thy rosy mouth
the treacAerous chewing-gum {!
Garrulous adult, who talkest thy
neighbor TO death, take warning
now, while thy jaws arc moving
rapidly.-Er,

This important organ weighs but about three
pounds, and al the blood iii a living person
about three gallons passes through i at least
once every half hour, tc have the bile and
other impurities strained or filtered from it.
Bile is the natural purgat;rc Of the bowels, and
if the Liver becomes torpid it is not separated
from the blood, but carried through the veins
to al parts Of the system, and in trying 70 cs-
cape through the pores Of the skin, causes It to
turn yellow or dirty brown color. The stom-
ach becomes diseased, and Dyspepsia, Indi-
gestion, Constipation. Headache, Biiousness,
Jaundice, Chills, Malarial Fcvcrs, Piles, Sick
and Sour Stomach, and general debility follow.
MERRELL's HEPAT1SE, the great vegetable dis
covery for torpidity, causes the Liver to throw
of from one to two ounces Of bile each time
/ the blood passes through it, as long as there is
an excess of bile; and the effect of even few
/ doses upon yellow complexion ora brown dirty
looking skin, will astoaiSh all who try yit-they
/ being the first symptoms to disappear. The
cure of all bilious diseases and Liver complaint
is made certain BY taking HEPAT.HE in accord
ance with directions. Headache is generally
cured in twenty minutes, and no disease that
arises from the Liver can exist if a fair trial is
given.

From New York, Practical Tuner Of Pipe and
Reed organs, and Piarofortes A few remarks
on tie Importance f having Organs and Fan-
ofortes kept in perfect order by one thoroughly
skilled in the construction of the Instruments.
Hundreds of Organs and Pianofortes are sadly
injured from being tampered with by persons
who are unskilled in their mechanism, and
who are tempted by curiosity to take them apart,
merely to see how they are made.) Professor
Gonzalez respectfully informs the Rev. Pastors,
also Families having Organs and Pianofortes,
that he being Manufacturer of these Instru-
ments, is fally prepared to attend to Tuning,
Regulating and Repairing, as he is always pro-
vided with all the Essential parts of Mechan.
ism connected with the above Instruments.--
Professor Gonzalez also wishes to state that ho
is in possession of hundreds of Testimonials
from Ministers of various Denominations who
have purchased Organs from him, or had their
Organs Tuned and Repaired by him, SO that he
may be relied upon TO DO such work, so rs to
ensure entire satisfaction in all cases.
As his stay in this to~- IA limifed Order
