Wornan's Patience.

suppose Jobs patience was won
derful for q man but it was nothing
to that of woman. What would Job
have done had he been compelled TO
sit in the house and sew and knit, anu
nurse the children and see that hun
dreds Of different things were attended
to during the day, and hear children
cry, and fret, and complaint Or how
would he have stood it if, like some
poor woman, he had been obliged to
rear family of ten or twelve children
without any help, spending months,
ycars-all the prime Of life--in wash
ling, securing, scrubbing, mcnding,
cooking, and nursing children fast
ene6 to the house and his offspring
from morning till night, and from
night TIL morning: sick or well, in
storm or sunshine, his nights otton
rendered miserable by watching over
HE children? How could he have
stood all this, and in addition TO aIl
other troubles t!,c curses and even
violence OF 10 drunken companion
lie would soon have tired Of unreward-
cd labor and undcscrvcd blame. For
after all, though job endured his Solls
and losses very well for a short time,
they did not endure long enough to
test The strength Of his patience.
Woman tests her patience by whole
life of tlials. and she does not grum-
bic at her burdens. We are honestly

Died for Love.

4 Constantinople lad fifteen years
old, destroyed himself for the love of
a girl eleven years old. who, not re-
quitting his love, told him pettishly
tnat he might kill himself, perhaps
after he had threatened to do so. He
took dose Of cyanide Of potassium
and lay down in front of the girls
fathers house, having previously al
dressed to her the following note :
"My Dear Rosa: l will have, by the
time You get this letter, faithfully
obcycd your command by killing my
self. 1on hn'cd me. loved you.

Poor lad! Unsympathctic and world
hardened old fellows lan9h at what
they sometimes call 'calf love-" But
early love is II very serious thing to
some young and poctically sensitive
natures. Dante, we read, loved when
he was only nine years old, and
Burns and Byron we're almost as pre-
cociOusly inllammablc.

A Noble Habit.

There are persons whom you can
always believe, because you know
they have the habit of telling the
truth They do not "color" a story
or enlarge bit Of news in order to
make it sound tinc or remarkable.
There are others whom Sou hardly
know whether TO believe or not, be-
cause. they "stretch" things SO. a
tritling incident grows in size, but not
in quality, by passing through their
mouth. They take small fact or
slender bill of news and pad il with
added words, and paint it with high,
colored adjectivcs, until it is largely
unreal and gives false impression.
And one does not like TO listen TO
folks when so much must be "ullow-
ed for shrinkagc." Cultivate this
habit Of telling the truth in little
things rs we'll rs in great ones. Pick
your words wisely, and use only such
as rightly mean what you wish TO aay.
Never stretch a story or fact to make
it seem bigger or funnicr. Do this,
and people will learn to trust and re-
spccL you. This will be better than
having name for telling wonderful
slorics or making foolishiy or falsely
"funny" remarks. There are enough
true funny things happening in the
world, and they arc most. entertain
ing when told just exactly rs they
come TO pass. One has we'll said ::
"Ncvcr deceive for the s&kc Of fool
ish jest, or 20 excite the laughter Of q
few companions at the cX, ense OF a
friend. Dear young friends, be true.
DO the truth. Tell the truth. There
are many false tongues. Let yours
speak the things that arc pure, love-
ly, true.

Petrifaction.

Last Friday, while workmcn were
engaged in removing remains from
the old DeSanssure burying ground
in Camden to the cemetery, they ex-
humed the"body Of n lady that had
been pctriled. The form was as per-
feet as when buried, but had become
SO heavy that it required five men to
li't:it. The upper portion was AS
hard as stone, while the lower limbs,
though retaining their shape, had a
soft, spongy touch, showing that the
process of petrifaction had not been
completed. The features, we learn
were we'll preserved. The hair on
the head had grown very long and
adhered firmly to wlat was once the
scalp. The remains were of young
lady who was drowned in tho Mis-.

A Radical Outrage.

Among the colorcd men who dom
ned the red shirt and fell into line in
the Democratic rally yesterday was
one Frank Williams, Of WinnsbOro,
who came down with the club from
that town. After the parade had
been dismissed Williams took occa-
sion to visit an acquaintance who
lives somewhere below the State
House. AS he was returning on his
way up town, and whilst in the neigh
hood of Grinin's store, he was sud-
denly and rudely confronted by three
negro men, who, after taunting him in
an innocent manner in regard to bis
aililiation with the Democrats closed
in upon him and beat him in most
shocking and brutal manner. One OF
the party he says, used u knife, with
which he administered to him q severe
cut, just beneath the chin. Both of
his cYcs arc almost closed, and his
face is otherwise badly bruised. 70
arrests have been made, rs the rutli,

iiccman was in sight. His wounds

How TO Make Meat Tender,

If the fact can be demonstrated to
a cook that tough meat can be made
tender by softening the fibres with
the action Of little vinegar, there
will be no reason why she rahould
hereafter send tough steak to the ;ta-
big. If abe can be convinced thatit
is better to, turn it over on plate
containing little vinegar, salid oil
and pepper, four or FIVE times in q
couple Of hours, instead Of trying to,
make it tender by battering itlvith
