One Way to Get Rich.

Nothing is easier than to grow
rich. 1t 10 only to trust nobody-to
befriend none--to get oil you can and
save all you get-to stint yourself
and everybody belonging to you--to
be the friend of no man and Ii ave no
man for your friend--to heap inter-
est upon interest, cent upon cent-to
be mean, miserable and dcspiscd for
some twenty or thirty years-and
riches will come as sure as disease
and disappointment. And when pref
ty nearly enough wealth is collccte d
by disregard Of all charities Of the
human heart, and at the expense of
every enjoyment, death comes TO fin.
ish the work, the body is buried in a
hole, and the heirs dance over it, and
the spirit goes-,vhere?

Angels UnaWares.

Old Parson Happy was one Of the
old-time circuit riders, whose rongh
exterior and uncouth ways aften OBJ
scured his true goodness of heart.
One day he was caught in a ehower
in Illinois. and going to a rude cabin
near by, he knocked at the door. A
sharp looking old dame answered his
summons. He asked for shelter. s:I
don't know you," she replied, suspici-
ously. "Rem ember the Scriptures .
said the preacher. "Be not fargetful
to entertain strangers, for thereby
some have entertained angels una
wares" "No angel would come down
here with big quid Of tobacco in his
mouth |" said the old lady, as she
shut the door.

An Arkansas WAY.

Two young men in Lonoke, Ark,
procured licenses TO marry the same
|girl on the Same day. She lived four
miles out Of town, and was not con-
sidered coquctte. 1t was case of
first come, first served The young
man who arrived an hour too late had
boasted that no woman in America
could jilt him. So the fair Leonora
put her wits together to undeceive
him, they being engaged at the time.
She had but recently formed tue ac-
quaintance of the gentleman she sub
sequently married /; and as he made q
proposal Of marriage, she determined
10 accept it at their next interview,
which she did, appointing the same
day on which she was to have been
led 10 the altar by her first lover
but one hour earlier.

A NeW Method.

TIE coiored people, at some Of their
protracted meetinge in the eastern
counties, have a new or novel mode
of worship. or of raising money they
call it "Storming Jericho" They

at which tho Bishop sits. AS they
march singing and shouting they have

they 60 around for the seventh time q
horn is blown, and at this signal they
all fall down and lay as If dead, when,
at another given signal, they all rise
and go through The same ceremony.
The latter part is called tue blowing
of "Gabriel's Horn" or the Judg-
ment Day. In this part Of the Stale
they have "Holy Walks" and "Cake
Walks," and enjoy themselves gen
orally in 'high falutin'" manner,
sometimes to the great annoyance of
persona who want TO sleep. While
learning 10 read and write they ought
to be taught what true religion aud

Three Men Killed by an Elk.

Gen. II. G. Bull was q wealthy Cit
izen of Kansas and kept a private
park in Downs, in that State. Last
Monday General Bull entered the
park to care for the animals therein
carraled. One Of the three large elks
of his collection. huge antlele ed male
made signs of hostility. The Gen
eral called Robert Bricknell, George
Nicholas and other servants to hisaid.
All at once the mad beast lunged for
the men, and impaling Gen, Bull tos-
sed him from high into the air. The
elk then attacked Nicholas and Brick
nell, inficting sixty-four wounds
upon the former and thirty-two upon
the latter. William Sherman, ano!h-
er employee, was seriouly injured in
endeavoring TO recure.the unfortunate
men. 1t was several hours before the
three dead bodies could be taken from
the park. The elk is unusually large,
weighing nine hundred pounds.

A Burqlar's Kiss.

Sometime ago several burglars ef-
fected All entrance to a house in
Montreal. They wandered through
the house, collecting all the valuable
clothing they could find, rolled it up
and threw it out Of the window. They
found their way into the bedroom,
where Mr.. Mernard, the man Of the
house, and his wife, were asleep.
Here they found watch and chain,
gold ring, and several other valua-
bles, of which they took possession.
The last of the burglars TO leave the
room, had to pass by the bed where
Mrs. Mernard lay asleep. He paus-
ed fer moment, and then resolved
TO add to his stealings the theft Of q
kiss. He stooped down and kissed
the "sleeping beauty" who was
awakened. She recognized the bur.
glar, who has since been arrested.
The moral Of which 10, s'never steal

The Virtuous Man.

Mortal man is made up of contra
rites. Inclining always to friendship,
from the want he finds in himself of
friends, he not only compassionates
with the sufferer, but relieves the ne
cessitous, finding in himself compla-
cency and satisfaction, whether his
turn be to receive or to confer an OBJ
legation. But, as one and the same
thing may be an object Of desire to
many, strife, enmity, and ill-will be-
come thereby unavoidable benevo-
lence is extinguished by avarice and
ambition, and envy fills the heart
which, till then, was all affection.
But friendship can make its own way,
and surmount every obstacle, to unite
the just and good; for virtue will
teach these to be contented With their
own possessions, however moderate
nay, infinitely prefer them 10 the en-
pire of the world, if not to be had
without hatred and contention. AS
sisted by this, they willingly endure
the extreme Of thirst aud danger,
rather than injure or bear on any
nor can love itself, even when the
most violent, transport them beyond
the rules of decency and order. They
arc so far from desiring to cncroach
on the rights and freedom Of others,
that they are easily inclined to resign
many Of their own. II disputes arise,
they are soon accommodated to the
contentment Of each party; anger
never raises it's head 80 high as 10
need repentance, nor can envy once
find admission into the hearts and
minds Of those who live in a mutual
desire Of doing good, and plead a
kind Of right in whatever friend
possesses hence, therefore, we may
be well assured that virtuous men
will not stand up to oppose, but sit
themselves down in order 10 assist
each other in the discharge of their
public duties.

Ohio.

If o Democrat were to receive the
1877 electoral votes of the South, and
then receive California, New Jersey,
Indiana, Connecticut and Delaware,
he would have but 176 votes. II re-
quires 186 10 elect. What does this
show? Ohio is gone, in all proba-
bility. What then? II ia narrowed
down to this, and in this there 10
probably no mistake, that New York
is absolutely necessary to insure ths
election Of Democratic candidate.
With New York he may be elected,
for he would get some or all of the
80 electoral votes of the other North
States mentioned above.
Who is the man? Can Hancock
carry the solid South? We think so.
Can he carry New York? If Tildcn
can carry it why cannot Hancock
carry the soliG South? We think 80.
Can he carry New York? If Tilden
can carry 1t why cannot Hancock
carry New York, New Jersey, Con-
necticut and Delaware? If so this
would elect him with the Southern
vote. Can be secure that vote? Sup
posing that Mr.. Tilden can carry the
necessary Northern vote, can he get
the entire 1877 Southern votes? Tn
other words, who is the right man for
tue place? 1t will require no little
wisdom and Judgment to settle this
important question.
1t is certain that no Democrat
should be nominated who cannot car
ry the entire vote of the South. It
is certain that no man should be
nominated who cannot carry New
York. Now, who is the man? ST.

An Explanation in Order.

The Abbevllle Press and Banner
makes the following serious charge
"Comptroller General Hagood has
been accused Of raising the assess.
ment on the lands Of Abbeville Coun-
ty in an arbitrary and unwarranted
way, which did great injustice TO the
people of that county. The present
Comptroller has been in Office about
three years. The poor people of Alb
beville who could not pay had their
land sold by the Auditor. Those of
our citizens who had paid in bills of
the bank OF the State, were forced to
redeem them or have their property
sold. Not 80 with the railroad. That
corporation was able to pay, but tho
Comptroller requires our Treasurer
to hold their bills and indulge the
railroad. In consequence of that in
diligence, many creditors of the coun-
ty have been kept out Of the princi-
pie and interest for year. 1t is
good thing to be railroad or phos-
phate company in South Carolina"

She was we'll educated, played the

condition that she would leave the
child behind and return to her home.
1t was a fierce struggle for a while,
but she finally yielded, and left the

parting with it were distressing. 1t

How Women Read Newspapers.

Somebody says thas ono who will
watch woman read a newspaper will
get some new ideas ofthe character
istics of the gentle sex. She takes it
up hurriedly, begins to scan it over
rapidly, as though she Was hunting
some particular thing but she is not.
She is merely takingin the obscure
paragraphs, which, che half believes,
were put in the out-of-the-way places
for the sake of keeping hor from see
ing them. As she finishes dash one,
her countensnce brightens with the
comfortable reflection that she has
outwittcd the editor and the whole
race of men, for she cherishes q
vague belief that newspapers arc The
enemies Of her sex, and editors its
chief opptcssors. She never reads
the headlines, and the huge telegraph
heads she never even sees. She is
greedy for local news, ,7and devours it
with the keenest relish. Marriages
and deaths are always interesting
reading to her, and advertisements
arc exciting and stimulating. She
cares but little for printed jokes, un-
less they reflect ridieule upon the
men, and then she delights in them
and never forgets them. She pays
particular attention TO anything in
closed in quotation marks, considers
it rather better authority than any
thing first-handed. s'rhe columns in
which the editor airs his opinions, in
loaded hifalutin, she rarely reads.
Views are Of no Importance in her es-
timation, but facts ase everything.
She generally reads the poetry. She
doesn't always care -aEor it, but she
makes a practice Of reading it, be-
cause she thinks she ought to. She
reads stories and sketches, and para
graphs Unfortunately, and believes
every word of them. Finally, after
she has read al she intends to, she
lays the paper down with an air of
disappointment, and half contemp-
tuous gesture, which says very plain.
ly that she thinks all newspapers
miserable failures, but is certain
that if sue had 9 chance, she could
make the only perfect newspaper the
world had eyer seen

Political Absorbents.

There is greed for office all over
the country--North and South, East
and West-which bids fair to engulf
us all, people and office holders, in
one common ruin. 1t seems the po-
litical aspirants hold that the people
and all the industries Of this great
country. have been born and estab-
lished for the purpose Of their indi-
vidual advancement and personal
glorification. Men, who have no
earthly claim to be called from the
honorable and useful post of citizen
ship, weary Of the word unless they
can get office; and we find men aspi-
ring to lofty political positions who
we never, in the remotest contempla.
tion Of the most distant future, ever
connected with such trusts. Most
men now, when they contemplate the
future of the commonwealth or con.
cider a given policy, spread them
selves and their own personal promo
ton over the whole of it. They have
a short political catechism which sim
ply expressed would read thus:
For what is State established?
Arswer.-To elect us TO office.
Why were the people invested with
suffrage?
Answer-To elect us to office.
And when you are dead what will
become Of the State and peopleI
Answer-Wcll, that will be very
bad, very bad, and something We
can't we'll forcsee, but we presume
they will ego under" too.
1t has even got so that man as
pires to three positions, or more at
one time, and if he can't get one he
will take one of the others.
To US, this is disgusting want of
respect for the people themselves,
and it is quite time that wholesome
public opinion should afiix it's most
witiering condemnation on all such
gross and demoralizing self-scrvice.
1t is quite time that the people
should show that they are not lost to
a high self-respect, and that they
mean to call 10 the front men Of their
own choosing and in their own best
service. No man can acquire pre-
scriptiye right to office, and when he
or Yhis -friendse assume os.h;m'any
such right it is time for the people to
say: "Friend, sit thou lower."-

Stranue.

There is curious fact connected
with the Santa Fe River, that is not
generally known. The river in some
places sinks apparently, entirely nn-
der ground, and rises again abruptly.
Major Mike Milestone, we'll known
in that section and at the Keys, once
bethought him that he would build
mill, and proceeded to carry out his
design. The mill was built, when

once called circumstance" drop

some miles further down.

JUSTICE.

Justice has been represented by n
female figure blindfolded, holding in
her hand beam and scales exactly
poised. The meaning is. that in its
weights and measures it neither gives
a particle too much nor too little. It
deals right and righteously in all
things: indicting just and proper pun.
ishments, bestowing equal and cquit-
able rewards. AS applied to law, it
ia inexorable in its demands, impair
tial in its decisions, and inflexible in
it's punishments. 1t gives to every
man his due, guards all from the en-
croachments Of others, and pursues
one undertaking, fixed course of con.
duct. 1t does not aim to alter the
unequal distribution of fortune or en-
dowments, or change the inequalities
OF men as respects condition, rank,
and riches but it forbids US to do
wrong, in whatever situation we may
be, or in whatever situation we may
find others. The law of the land,
the civil power, is Cor ought TO beg
based on the principles Of justice, and
it stands ready with her culver full of
arrows, to punish the offender. JUS
ticc is one Of the essential attributes
of the moral character, which cannot
be a perfect character without it. 1t
sustains the social order Of communi-
ty, preserves the bond OF society, and
maintains those friendly intercourses
and relations which subsist among
mankind.
