eoIsgaFTs, S. G., March 24
Masked riders have visited farmers
in the country who were getting
their pastures enclosed to comply
with the stock-law passed by the last
Legislature, which goes into effect
April 1st. Threats have been made OF
incendiarism if the fences enclosing
the fields were removed, and parties
endeavored to cultivate unenclosed
lands. Various significant devices,
such as cofins with death heads and
cross-bones and other tokens Of ter
ror, have been left at the houses OF
the stock-law men. Recent fires in
Richland and one in Kershaw county
are attributed to the stock-law oppo.
nents.
Carrying Matters with High Hnnd'
Opponents Of the stock-law in
Richland county, S. c., are carrying
matters with a high hand. Masked
riders are visiting farmers who are
removing their fences, and making
all sorts oil threats against them, il
they persist in planting their crops
in unlenced lands. Recent fires in
Richland and Kershaw counties are
attributed to this cause. The au
thorities should take strong measures
against these representatives Of the
rnob.lsw, and bring them to prompt
justice. The Get was passed by the
State Legislature, and should be
obeyed by everybody. Such reign
of terror as that suggested by the
telegram from Columbia this morn
ing should not be allowed to con.
iinue another day.
The Stock-Law ku-kiux.
The opponents Of the stock-law
who fancy that they can prevent il
from going into effect, or induce it'
repeal, by threatening to Ku.klul

their stock, as the law requires, vii

esaid: Honor and fame from no con-
dIrfom-s'=~.--aet.4wellEonr-- there
all the honor lies There you have
the secret of success, the whole phil.
osopny of life and living condensed
in two lines. Act well your part,
and act it yourself, for you can rest
assured that no one else will act 1t
for you.
God never created aloafer. He is,
if made at all, the creation of man,
largely assisted by the devil, who
claims him for his own, and estab,
fishes his workshop in his idle cranl-
um. He is to humanity what the
sloth is among beasts, or, better still,
a stagnant pool among living waters.
The utter waste OF brain power and
hand force in this way is simply
enormous; forces, backed by proper
will and energy, might have made
their mark in life and helped to rule
the country. When the human cl-
pher, the drone in the hive Of busy
life, dies, we know it not, FOR be was
dead before 10 all useful purposes,
and he sinks out Of sight and leaves
no memory behind, no ripple to show
where he disappeared. He is missed
by his boon companions from his ae-
customed drv goods box and chair in
the tavern corner, and that is all.
/ No stone marks his humble gave
and no marble shaft is inscribed tc
his memory. He lived without fill.
ing any space, and died without leav-
ing a vacuum.
Young man, be not like unto one
Of these, but buckle on your armol
for the battle OF lie and bravely
work your way, with might and
main, through the world, and into
the rest and confidence Of your fei-
low men, and it may be into honer'
and riches and position beyond you'
present sansuine expectations. 1o'
have life aud death, honorand shame
placed before you. with the power to
accept or reject; choose ye this day
which you will take. Remember al
ways that the path OF duty Is tn
path vl safety, and the way OF tn
transgressor is hard. Eternal PRO
greesion is one Of the unchangln
laws OF our being. 1t is imposslbl
tc stand still; we must be advancln
in the narrow path to life and honol
or down the broad road to dlsgrsc
and ruin. Stop, young man, TIL
moment, and inquire which road 70
are travelling and whittier you ar
drifting.

From the seas to the skies.

From the rapturous kiss.

And my breath and my will
In delirious JOY,
For moment stood still;

No temptations, no charms,
No visions of happiness

You kissed me my soul
In a bliss so divine,

A word to Young Men,

On the young men of to day rests
the future hope of the Church and
the State. How careful, then should
their training be, and what interest
should be taken in their formation Of
habits ami character! Early influ-
ences and Impressions, either for
good or evil, are hard to counteract
|. in after life, and they frequently
shape our destiny and control our
actions, for veal or woe, TO the end
of our earthly career. The first les
sons impressed upon tie: youthful
mind are generally the most lasting,
and hence the truth, CT the proverb,
Train up childin the way eshall
90, and when be is old he will rot
depart from it, There have been
cases that. as as far as human foresight
or reason can penetrate, would seem
to be exceptions to this lule, but
then, they are only except ms, and
not the rnie.
It would seem, from a cursory
glance at the surface of society, that
human nature is deteriorating, and
that the average boy Of the period
waa falling short Of his former moral
and intellectual statue, but this, we
would fain hope, is more in appear
ance than reality. Children will
be children, which is perfectly nat
ural, and we have sometimes thought
that we did them injustice in oraw.
ing the rein Of parental restraint a
little loo strong which has an injuri-
Gus effect in the rebound; but then
it is better to err on the side Of safety
by tempe,ing justice WITH mercy
and leave the consequences TO- their
own good sense, guided by an over
ruling Providence. If our earnest,
prayerful work should seem to fail,
and our children, in some cases, go
astray in spite of our teaching and
advice, We can console ourselves with
the reflection that we did our duty
and deserved success, though it wAs
not in ourpower to attainit. "Shake
not your CORY locks atme; thou canst
not say I did it."
Remember, young man, that life is
pretty much what you make it, and
that, every man is, to some extent
the architect Of Of his own fortune.

foolish enough to conceive that he
was a favored son Of fortune, born

WIEN ,nriching the soil so as to procure
q good crop of corn and potatoes, do not
forget to apply liberal dressing to the too
often neglected orchard. Rotation of crops
can not be followed with fruit trees, hence
tie necessity of Systematically restoring TO
the soil, 50 far as may be done, those ele
ments consumed in the production of a
crop of fruit. After an orchard comes into
bearing il is commonly considered able
thenceforth to take care of ltself-the owner
seldom failing 10 expect fair returns, and
the orchard seldom failing to dlsappoint.
The reason is obvious; the trees are slowly
starved, and the fruit becomes scraggy or
small In quantity. Alternate bearing years
are a result Ct th treatment as is shown
by the abundant crops th 4 may be obtained
every year by thorough cultivation, pro-
vided frost does not interfere The bar
rem year is natures method of aiding the

DRY EARTH FOR STABLEs.-lf any one
will observe where the cows lie down in
the BARNARD or pasture, il will be seen that
they choose the bare ground, Iathef than
The sod or bedding of straw. The same is
true of sheep. l have taken the hint, says
Western farmer, and furnished the cow
stables With dry earth-bedding. Leaves
and straw are poor abSorbents in compari-
son. In the pig-pens dry earth has no
equal. in very cold weather we add straw
or leaves, but until the weather is very
cold, the animals will be more comfortable

once in fortnight or week. In the chick

but saves the very elements of the manures
which make them most valuable, aud most
of which would evap0ra,e il not absorbed

bedding for horse stables, out ii should be
found in evc.y stable, to sprinkle the floor
with as soon as the bedding is removed in
the morning. When removed from the
stables, styes, or coOps, il should be kept
under cover until used, and is excellent for
