have at length taken q decided stand
against the efforts. of the unscrupu-

A hi III official Of the commany has
promulgated the following notice,
which appears in the journals here,

the men are and will he left free TO

How a Husband Was Lost.

When the late Lafay cite S. Foster,
at one time president of the United
States Senate, was ayoung and rising
lawyer, he wooed and wns engaged
to a young lady whose family enjoyed
a larger social prominence than his
own. The wedding day had been
fixed and the couple were talking
over their prospective tour, as part
of which young Foster proposed that
they should spend a few days with his
parents, who resided in town some
distance away. The lady rather re-
luctantiy consented, but said: 81 will
go with you this time, but in the fu-
ture you must not expect my visits to
your parents to be very frequent.
You must remember that our associa-
tions have been very different. Sur
priscd and shocked by this codblood-
ed depreciation Of the father and
mother whom lie loved and honored
the young man paced the floor the
sport of secthing and conflicting emo
tions. Finally, taking his hat he
turned to the young lady and said !:
Il ell glad have found YOU ont in
,imc; you may go to the deuce" The
rebuke might not have been choice III
style, but it was earnest in spirit.
TheLceforth their ways lay apart and
she was not the gamer.

ercea most dismal and plain-spolsen
sketch of their own condition under
slavery, he said, among other things,
LhatI his own observations told him

rhiss however, cannot be true, if we
are % believe Mr.. Shcrman's and Mr..

admitted, has made any observations

also put in good or bad word for
the carpct-baggers by alleging that
the majority of the white men in the
carpet-bug legislatures which piled
up The large State debts after the
war,werc natives. This, however, is
not saying much for them, for, if we
remember rightly, there were at one
timaYonly six whites in the South
Carolina Legislature. The wors. car
pct-baggers were not in the legisla
turea but devoted themselves to
"manipulating,' "mina-poisoning,"
and bond pcddling outside. Mr.. At

devoted to tie methods of cotton cul-

never hope of comfort or rest. ~

The Source of WOman's Strength.

THE strength of women lies in their
heart. 1t shows itself in their strong
love and instructive perception of right
and wrong. Intellectual courage is
rarely one of their virtues. AS rule,
they are inclined to be restless and ex-
citable, allowing their judgments and
actions to be swayed by quick emotions
of all kinds, but, above all, it is in their
hopefulness and their endurance that
they find their chief power. Who is the
last person to give up hope in the case
of the member of the family who has
apparently gone to the badP What
mother and sister with deep and ardent
love for such will ever cease to cherish
hope or to endure suffering on their ac-
count? The patience of women is pro.
verbal, and their whole lives are bound
up in their affections. Few people will
deny that love in one form or another
makes up the beauty of life to woman.
1t enters into all she does. Any work
outside her immediate circle is under
taken most often from pure desire tC
help some one else to know something
of the mysterious happiness of love. I'M
like men, women chiefly look for per-
sonal intercourse with those for whom
they are working. If their interest lies
among the poor, they are DESTROYS OF
sympathetic personal acquaintance with
them; and very little good work of 6.
lasting kind has been done by women
without their own influence of love be-
ing brought to bear on the individual.
case. Without dwelling on the greater
physical weakness of women in general,
it is fact that their brains are more
easily deranged, and unless they change
greatly they are apt to deteriorate in
essential womanly qualities if thrown
much or prominently before the world.
They are seldom fitted to rule, emula-
ton and jealousy being generally strong
in their character, while their feelings
and judgments are often rapid in the
extreme. 1t is in the heart, therefore,
that woman will more especially feel
the effects of Agnosticism, whether those
effects be for good or evil. Her head
may gain in grasp of logic and in clear
ness of view; but if her heart, with all
its powers for good, is weakened and
discouraged, she will gain little ulti-
mately by the spread of the new views.
When the heart is dispirited, or thrown
back upon itself, the action that springs
from it tends inevitably to fall lifeless to
the ground.-Nineteenth Century.
