He Suffered a DrOufh

MIR. EDTToR-I would say q few
words about spending your money at
home, as l saw a piece in your last
issue on this subject. Whose fault
is it that the money leaves home?
We cannot have cash oil the time,
and when our pockets suffer q
drouth the merchants close their
doors, and hardly ask you to buy any-
thing at all; but if they see pros
pect of n good shower, they will wait
all right
There is q merchant in this county
that I traded with for seven years
for cash, but the drouth took place,
as it often does in the farmers pock-
ct, and [ asked him for only one arti-
Gle that cost $3.50. He closed his
door on that one word. SO the drouth
remained with me. I so to Green
vile to sell and buy what [ want.
Just think of the county looSing
from ten to fifteen thousand dollars
every year on this ground. [ have
left over four hundred dollars in
Greenville on the drouth of $3.50.
Those enterprising men of Green
vile say that one house sells from
one to two hundred dollars worth of
goods every year to the farmers of
Greenville, Anderson and Pickens
Counties,

XYork III SOU NYouid rsiae.

Soon after the great Edmund Burke
had been making one of his powerful
speeches in Parliament, his brothe,
Richard was found sitting in silent
reverie; and when asked by friend
what he was thinking about, replied:
Il have been wondering how Ned
has contrived to mOnopolize all the
talents in our family. But then 7
remember that when we were doing
nothing or, at play, he was always
at work"
And the force of this anecdote is
increased by the fact that Richard
was always considered, by those who
Knew him best, to be superior, in
natural talent to his brother, yet the
one rose to greatness, while the other
lived and died in comparative obscu-
rity.
The lesson to oil is, if you would
succeed in life; be diligent: improve
your time; work. "Seest thou man.
says Solomon, "diligent in his busi,
ness? He shall stand before Kings;
he shall not stand before"-that is,
shall not be ranked Within can
men,"

One night last week q passenger died
IL his seat on the train somewhere be.
tween Atlanta and Charlotte. He was
quite sick when he boarded tie train.
and his fellow passenger made up mon
ey to provide him with the comforts of
the sleeper, but he put the money in his
pocket and remained where he was.
Young man, the pleasure of telling q
funny joke that is unfit for the ears of
your best girl, can hardly pay you for
the weakening influence it exercises over
our own moral nature. How often
have men of talent, and great moral
worth, weakened their influence
over their intimate friends, by
unseemly attempts at such pleasantrv.
The Edgefeld Advertiser of June 18th
says: "In Piokens Inst week six chilren
died in one family, and the father and
mother are expected to die, from poisoned
we'll water, 30 the physicians say. 1t is
perhaps not generally known that wei,
drains from tho surface for space, the
diameter of which, if circular, would be
six times its depth. For instance, il the
well be thirty feet deep. all the filth ono
hundred and eighty feet from the curl,-
ing, in every direction, peroolates into
tho we'll. A great deal of anxiety, pain,
suffering and possibly even death itself,
may be averted by realizing this fact and
acting on it."
