WASHINGlON'o BIRTHDAY.

Tuesday was the birthday of this
great and good man, whose memory is
embalmcd in the hearts of his CRATE
lul countrymen. We do not advocate
the taking fany man as the model
OF our lives, because no human mod
el is perfect; but it is we'll for us to
study the character of good men in
order that we may make our own
better, and we know of no public
man whose life is Il better lesson for
our study than that of George Wash
ington. There was nothing small,
about the great hcart of WASHINGTON.
lie was noble and magnanimous.
Unlike many men, it was not the love
OF glory, but sense Of duty which
led him on. He did not linner ON
the stage Of public life, but as soon
rs he had accomplished the freedom
OF his country, lie laid down the pow
er which his people had entrusted to
him. His ambition was only to do
his duty. He was unsclfsh in all his
aims. There is Il moral grandeur
about his character which shines
forth like 4 light house in the dim
vista of the past. Let us on this his
natal week bask in the gcnicl rays
which it sheds forth upon the genera
'i"n to linpcl to nob!cr and grandcr
deeds.

IEAUTIFY YOUR IlCMES.

Now that peace and prosperity are
again commencing ~ smile in the
land it may h" well for us to look TO
those improvements which our means
E.ay permit. Our farmers seem TO
be thoroughly awake 10 the sub
stantial points Of improvements, such
as tic building up Of their lands, the
advance in better implements, and
the cultivation Of their crops, but it
seems TO lis that there is not q cor
responding advance in the attention
to their farm houses. We often see
places, where the barn is finer than
the house in which the farmer lives.
This shows that utility, instead of
beauty or comfort is the leading idea
We agree that utility comes first, but
after this has been achieved, the en-
bellshmcnt of our homes might re-
ccive proper attention.
Wcthink too little Of the rctininr
influence Of cmbchshmcnt in art
Much good has been done in the
world by the nrchictcc and the
$ uIptor by the civilizing effects of
their productions. We don't mean
that we should build for ourselves
1rc houses or magnificent struc-
lures; but we like to see coy attrac
tive cottages. A traveller once said
that he felt no hcsitancy in stopping
alta house where flowers adorned the
entrance, because he kncx that n
kind and welcome heart was within.
This may not be stictly true, but the
figure is 4 correct one The spirit
that induced the cultivation of the
flowers Is likely to be filled with love
and welcome for the stranger. 4 lit
Tie attention and expense would con.
tribute largel V to the attractivcncss
OF our homes. Let us not he carried
away altogether with one idea, bnt
let us combine beauty and Comfort
with utility. Let us do I'll we can to
make our homes attractive and hap

WHAT THEY ESOW ABOUT 1T.

The New York Times volunteers to
answer the query which the Nems
an" C""r'cr put 10 Col. Aiken, viz ::
"W hat policy should he pursued by
the Democratic party in South Caro-
lima to retain good and honest GOV
ernmcni, and ut the same time sccul @
free ballot and fair count" 1t sur.
SeSts Tor us to nominate COOL men
and convince the people into support
ing them. This suggestion shows
lamcntablc ignorance on the part of
the I'mcS. We have been TRYING per
suation and argument most faithfully
ever since the war up TO this time,
and we hope always to continue it.
The L mes, however. has much to
learn rs to the effect Of argument in
bringing the colored people to sup.
port COOL government.
There is only one way to restore
permanent health to Southern poll
tics, and that is TO develop our coun-
try, build factories. aan bring in i'm
Migrants, in order to more nearly
cQualizc the races in numbers.

A REST FROM POLITICS.
We agree with the Palmetto locp,au
in the following comment:

We agree with the Palmetto yoemau
in the following comment:
I'VE think it would hc better for
the press and more acceptable to the
general reader if our editorials would
take wider range and embrace u
greater variety OF topics. Some
would have us believe that ncw>pa-
pcrs were invented for the sole pur.
pose OF discussing politics and for
warding the ends of politicians. We
think the tastes and interests of The
people at large, and especially the
family circle, should lie considered.
We should remember that variety is
the spice Of life, and that every read
or Of n newspaper is not a politician
nor candidate for Office. PLAYING
one tune or on one string all the time
becomes dull, tircsomc and mono
tonons, and the ear longs for relief in
variety. We should vary the rcpast
rs much possible, and give our read
ers some Of the syllabub as well as
the solids Of everyday life"
