A MOUSE IN HER PoCKET.-A short
time since an elderly lady Of this city star
tied the household with piercing shrek
and the information that there was Il mouse
in her pocket. Some one rushed to her
rescue. hastily assisted her to divcst herself
of her wrapper, firmly grasping the mouth
of the pocket to prevent the escape Of the
dangerous animal. The garment was then
turned over to the man of the house, and
he, armed with a club, proceeded to the
back yard to dispatch the offcudcr. The
pocket was opened gradually, but.uo mouse
appeared. Finally, gaining courage, he
venturcd to investigate, and found the cause

TIE HABIT OF SELF-CoNTROL.-If there
is one habit which, above alb others, is de-
serving of cultivation it is that of self. con-
troll In fact it includes so much that is Of
value and Importance in life, that it may al.
most be said that, in proportion to it's pow
er. does the man obtain his manhood and
the woman her womanhood. The ability to
identify self with the highest parts Of our
nature, and to bring all the lower parts
into subjccton, or rather to draw them all
upward into harmony with the best that we
know, is the one central power which sup
plies vitality to all the rest.
How to develop this in the child may
well absorb the energy of every parent !;
how to cultivate it in himself may well en-
ploy the wisdom and enthusiasm Of youth
Yet it is no mysterious or compllcaecd path
that leads to this goal. The habit Of self
control is but the accumulation of contiu-
ucd acts of self denial for worthy object ::
it is buv the repeated authority Of the rea-
son over the impulses, of the Judgment over
the incinations, Of the sense of duty over
the desires He who has acquired this
habit, wh) can govern himself intelligent.
ly, without painful effort, and without any
fear of revolt from his appctitcs and pas
sions, has within him the source of all real
power and ali true happiness. The force
and energy which he has put forth day by
day, and hour by hour, is not exhausted nor
even diminished; OH the contrary it has in,
creased by use, and has become strongcrand
kccucr 10y exercise and, although it has
already completed its work in the past, it is
still his wcll.trcd, true and powerful wca
pom for future conflicts in higher regions

4 TnoUGur FOR THE MIDDLE AGED.-
1t is the solemn thought connected with the
middle life that lifG's last business is begun
in carncstncss and it is then, midway be-
tween the cradle and the grave, that man
begins to marvel that he let the day Of
youth 90 by so half enjoyed. 1t is the pen
sivc autumn feeling; it is the sensation of
half sadness that we experience when the
longest day of the year is past, and every
day that follows is shorter, and the light
fainter, and the feeble shadows tell that ma
turc is fastening with gigantic footsteps to
her winter grave. SO docs the man look
back upon his youth. When the first grey
hairs become visible, when the unwclcomc
truth fastcns itself upon the mind that a
man is no longer going up hill, but down,
and that the sun is always westcring. he
looks back on things behind. When VIC
were children We thought as children. But
now here lies before us manhood, %ith its
earnest work, and then old age, and then the
grave, and then home There is Il second
youth for man, better and holicr than the
first. if he will look on and not look back.

The NEGRO RULE All THE SOUTIf-A.
X. Mcclure, the editor Of .hc philadelphia
Times, writing to his paper from Columbia,
says: ,.-
."Noue know better than the masses of
the colored voters of South Carolina that
their attempt at sclfrulc has been terri
BILE failure, and they are now distrusttul OF
all colored leaders, while they have moth
ing but curses for the desperate white ad-
vcnturers who impoverished both races while
assuming to elevate aud benefit the negro.
1t was this feeling that made the election
of Hampton possible in 1876, and the scep-
trc once wrestcd from such a race will not
soon be rcgaiucd. They feel little hope of
aiding themselves by a negro restoration.
They saw the State robbed of lands for ne.
gro homes aud the property stolen by those
who claimed to be the friends Of the negro.
They saw taxes wrung from property to ed
ucatc the negro, and large PORTION stolen
outright and the schools made merely a
mockcry of education. Now they see sew
cnty-f thousand colorcd children in free
schools, and nearly twelve hundred colorcd
teachers instructing them under the bcre
ficcncc Of the State. They see, also, IN
amendment of the Constitution adopted,
making fixed and irr1voCablc appropriations
for free and equal education, ana the Gov
ernor It thc State declaring for still greater
increase in the facilities for instructing both
whites and blacks. They see business and
confidence revive they have more labor
and better pay; they are steadily increasing
their friendly relations with the whites by
leases OF lands, and many of them arc be.
coming small proprictors since they have
ceased to neglect industry to follow the
commands of selfish leaders ; and a large
proportion of the more thrifty class have
openly taken their political stand with the
whites, while thousands of others, cspe-
cally in minority Counties, refuse to take
any part in politics They havea majority
of from 10000 to 80, 900 in the State, on a
strict color line division, but there will never
be another solid negro vote cast in this State.
Superior Intelligence and will must rule
here as in all other places i'll the world, aud
both whites and blacks understand it. There
will be unjustifablc methods here to re-
press such negro Counties as Beaufort and
Charleston, and they will heed the correct
ing hand Of Justice; but until all the laws
Of human nature and of interest shall be
reversed, the white man will rule the infe-
rior race, and he will do it better in the
South Vt this time than the negro can rule
himself, This is not the sentimental view
of the race issue in the South, but it is the
truth"

the policy of dividing up their extensive
plantations into leascholds. He says:

THE DEVIL.

Men don't believe in the devil now, as their fathers
used to do.
They've forced the door of the broadest creed to let
His Majesty through.
There isn't print of his cloven foot q fiery dart
from his brow,
To be found in earth or air to-day for the world has
voted So.
But who is it mixing the fatal draught that palses
heart and brain.
And loads the bier of each passing year with hun
dred thousand slain?
Who blights the bloom of the land to-day with the
Gery breath of He'll?
If the Devil isn't and never was: Won't somebody
rise and tell:
Who dogs the steps of the toiing saint and digs the
pit for his feet? -
Who sows the tares in the field of time wherever God
. sOws his wheat?
Tbs Devil is voted not to be- and Of the thing
is true!
But who is doing the kind of work the Devil alone
should do?
We are told he does not go about as roaring lion
now,
But whom shall we hold responsible for the everast
ing row
To be heard In home In church and state, 10 the
earth's remotest bound,
If Devil, by unanimous vote is nowhere to be
found?
Won't somebody step to the front forthwith and make
their bow and show
How the frauds and the crimes Of single day spring
up? We want TO know.
The devil fairly voted out and, of course, the
Devils gone.
But simple people would like to know who carries his
business on?
