Editor Oranleburq Times:

Editor Orangeburg Times: ii,
1t was our good fortune to attend
a Sunday school festival at the
Anticy School house last Saturday,
that was the grandcst affair of the
kind thatwe have ever seen. Quite
early id the morning, we found
good many persons. on the road, all
looking towards the School l.ousc,-
but when we got there, we found
every thing alive. The ground was
like swarm Of bees. Where could
the people have come from? But
this is the secret: The Sunday
School ut Canaa is in good condi-
ton, the hest that the Church has
ever seen, and 50 the parents and
friends ofthc children, must kill for
them the fattcd calf, and invite their
friends and neighbors, to enjoy it
with them, and it was done to order.
1t was not long before we heard
the sweet songs otthe children, that
called us to tho stand. We found DR..
Bagget, Rev. Chaplin and Rev.
Stoudenmire, on the stand as speak
ers. They did their part, and said
4 good many good things. The sing
ing was fine. This being over, the
tables were spread. 1t was then that
we saw the greatness Of the prepara-
ton. There We're three tables 80 feet
long. Some ofthe finest waters mel
Ions we ever saw, and plenty Of
them were furnished. But the din
ner-bcef, ham, chicken, pies, Gus
tards, aid that TO no end. About
600 persons eat, and there was enough
left to feed nearly hal as many more.
Prominent among the good people
was Mr. John Antlcy, who though
not CHURCH man, gave much Of his
goods ) to feed hcpeoplc.
And now we had a chance to look
over the people, and to our surprise
we did not see IN ugly person Oh the
ground. Where nature was not rs
kind to some rs 10 others. 'hc merry
heart gave The cheerful couutcnance.
which was all we could ask for on
such an occasion. The day was hot
and dry, but an arbdr SOx4O feet,
with plenty OF water, made us
forget the drought that is upon us.

How 10 Treat a Wife.

FIRST, get wife; secondly, be pa
tient. You may have great trials and
pcrpleNities in your business with
the world, but do not, therefore, carry
to your home a cloudy or contracted
brow. Your wife may have many
trials, which, though Of less magni-
tude, may be hard for her to bca:. a
Kind, conciliatory word, i, tender
look, will do wonders in chasing
from her brow all clouds of gloom.
You encounter your difficulties in
open air, famed hy heavens cool
breeze; but your wife is often shu; in
from these rcviving influences, ana
her health IaiIs-her spirits lose their
elasticity. But, Oh! bear with her.
She has trials and SORROWS to which
you are Il stranger, which your
tenderness can deprive or all their
anguish. Notice kindly her efforts
to promote your comfort.
DO not receive all her good Offices
rs a matter otcollrsc and pass them
BY, ut the same time being very sure
TO observe any omission Of what you
may consider duty to you. DO not
treat her with indifference, if YOU
would not scar and palsy her heart,
which. watcrcd by kiudncss would to
the last day ofyour existence, throb
with constant and sincere affection
t"ryou. Sometimes yield your wishes
to hers. Her preferences may be us
strong rs yours. Regard it. as an
indulgence to yourself to yield some
times. Is there not danger she will
deem you selfish? With such an
opinion she cannot love as she might.
Again, show yourself a manly man,
that your wife may look up to YOU
and feel that you will act nobly, and
can conlide in your judgment.
