A FAITHFUL WIFE.-About eight
years ago man by the name of Tay-
lor left his wife and FIVE children in
Schley County, Georgia, from some
frivolous reason, and soon after he
LETT, there was another son born to
them. All the property that they
possessed was one mule, which Tay
lor carried off with hin. Mrs. Taylor
had worked hard-was raising her
children in an admirable way, and
was making soma money. She had
not heard from her husband from the
day he left until recently. While
passing ore Of her neighbors she was
called in to "see something" when
she discovered it was her long miss
ing husband. She tainted and fell
That afternoon he accompanied her
home, and the next day she visited
her Primitive Baptist brethren to
know if it would be against the
church regulations for her to be the
wife of Taylor again. They did not
object, and all is well now.

Printers Devils.

A great many persons are in the
habit of looking upon and speaking
of printers devils in a manner that
reflects no credit on themselves.
Those same printers devils, in nine
cases out of ten, are three times as
well posted on the issues Of the day
as the person who sights and speaks
lightly of them. There is no class OF
boys for whom we have more pro
found respect than well-behaved prin-
ters' devils. They know something
end are practical, which is more than
you can say of all classes of boys. In
that respect, we place the boys who
work in printing Office, head and
shoulders above most boys. Young
woman, before you again elevate that
delicate nose at the approach of a
printers devil, get some one who
knows something of history to tell
you the names of a few characters
that were once printers devils. For
fear that you will dislike to show
your Ignorance, we will give you q
short list of ex-devils OF printing off
ces. If you have heard Of any ol
them, quit your flirting and nonsense
in general,..and go to studying. Did
you ever hear of Benjamin Franklin s (.
Ben was once a printers devil. He
was also one Of the aigners OF the.
Declaration of Independence. Hahi-
bal Hamlin, Vice-President under
Lincoln, was once a poor printers
devil. Schuyler Colfax, who has
oeen Speaker of the House o. Repre-
sentatives for number of years. was
"nothing but devil in printing
ofice" at one time. Horace Greeley,
who was one OF the first journalists
Oh this continent, and an ex-congress..
man, was printers devil. Ex,Sen
ator Simon Cameron, Of Pennsylva-
MIA, was "devil." Thurlow Weed,
one of the wealthiestsand most .iDAu-
ential men in New York, and editor
of the Commercial Advertiser, was a
penniless "devll" in a printing Office.
Ex Senator 'Rosa, of Kansas, COM
menced his successful career as a
printers devil. Two thirds Of the
editors in the United States were
once printers devils. Permit us to
tell yon that the men who once did
du y as printers, have done more to
advance the interests anl-sustain the
good name of America th9 any other
class.

SOUTH CAROLINA HAY.-Some Of
our exchanges note that large quaint.
ties of home made hay are being
brought into this market, this fall
The same is true of onr county; and
we are ghd to notice it. Our far
mers have gone manfally to work to
save food for horses and cattle, and
in every way to provide for the great
deficiencies of the crops. Our grasses
make very fine hay; and it is e mark
OF deplorable thriitlessness that we
should buy Northern and Western
hay, when we can make such an ex'
cellent article at home without cost
Our advice to our farming friends
is this: utilize everything, plant large
crops of oats, &c It the coat according
to the cloth" ald keep out OF debt,

THE ROUND OF LIFE.

Two children down by the shining strand,
With eyes as blue as the summer sea,
While the sinking sun fills all the land
With the glow Of golden mystery,
Laughing aloud at the ssamew's cry,
! Gazing with Joy on its snowy breast,
Till the first star looks from the evening
And the amber lines stretch over the
west.
A soft green dell by the breezy shore,
A sailor and a maiden fair;
Hand clasped in hand, while the tale of
yore
Is borne again on the listening air,
For love is young, though love be old,
And love alone the heart can fill:
And the dear old tale that has been told
In the days gone by, is spoken still.
A trim-built home on sheltered bay,
A wife looking out on the glistanins
A prayer for the loved one far away,
And prattling imps meath the old roof
tree;
a lifted latch and radiant lace
By the open door in the falling night;
A welcome home and warm embrace
From the love of his youth and his
~ children bright.
An aged man in an old armchair;
A golden light from the western sky;
His wife by his side, with her silvered hair,
And the open Book of God close by.
Sweet on the bay the cleaning falls,
And bright is the glow OF the evening
star;
But dearer to them are the jasper walls
And the golden streets of the Land afar.
An old churchyard on the green hillside,
Two lying still in their peaceful rest;
The fsherman's boats going out with the
tide
In the fiery glow of the amber west.
Children's laughter and old mems sighs,
The night that follows the morning
clear,
A rainbow bridging our darkened skies,
Are the round OF our lives from year to
year, Chambers journal.

CONFEDERATE BONDS The Charles
ton News aud Courier, Of November
Both, says Confederate bonds :,were
not in demand pm Monday and the
transactions we're very highland at
low fgures. 1t is stated that New
York operator, whose name has been
prominently identified with the Con-
federate bond boom, had failed to
meet his engagements, and that his
inability or unwillingDess to honor
some large drafts to pay for bonds
bought for his account has occasioned
heavy losses to parties who had been
acting for him in that city and in
Augusta. One thing seems pretty
certain: That those Who-haVe de-
layed selling out their Confederate
bonds in hopes of higher prices have
lost their chance. There are some
who anticipate a revival Of the boom,
but they are now few and far between
