draught.
What does a man take when be has

licks herr.
Why is it easy tc get in an old mans
house? Because his gate is broken and
his locks are few.
Why is man who makes pens very
wicked? He makes people steel pins
and then say they do write.
Why is a city official like a church
bell: One steals from the people and
the other peals from the steeple.
Why is it dangerous to go out in
spring. Because the trees shoot, the
flowers have pistils and the bulrnsh is
out.
What is the difference between a
dogs tail a, rich man? One keeps
wagging and the other keeps a car
riage.

The Newspapers Do the Thinking.
Manchester Courier.

The American Minister said the other
day at Nottingham that men go to the
newspapers every morning for their
opinions as they go to the bakers for
loaves ofbread. So they do, and wheth
er Mr.. Phelps mean it or not, each in
its way, the bread and the opinion, is
the staff of life. Often and often you
hear q man say 81 don't care for their
opinions; read the papers for facts"
The next moment you hear him repeat
ing with textual docility the editorial
of the morning. The truth is, l ap-
prehend, that in these times men do
less and not more thinking for them
selves, at least on the topics OF the day
than their fathers and grandfathers
did. The best papers think for them,
more fully, more carefully, moreauthor-
itativelv than they do or can do for
themselves. There are men who will not
go in leading strings, editorials or other.
They are the minority. Few, indeed,
are those who emancipate themselves
wholly from the directing influence of
the press.

nothing for to-day. There has moth
ing whatever happened in our dear old
town, that we consider sufficiently im-
portant or interesting to lay before our
readers. In the present state, Of the
weather this will not matter very much
as instead of perusing two or three COL
umns of incredible accidents, offers Of
marriage, or the course Of politics in
Bukovina, etc., etc., our esteemed sub
scribers of either sex will prefer taking
a walk:to enjoy the fresh, air the fra
GRANGE of the flowers, and the singing of
the birds. Should there, however, be
one who has no taste for those things,
we would recommend him to take down
avolume an encyclopaedia and read up
the hypochrondia and liver complaint.
With the return of the wet weather we
hope to present to our readers with the
usual supply Of highly sensational

A Good Man at Rest.
fColumbia Register, l4th.]


The buria! of Captain Isaacs yester-
day was not witnessed by many dwell
Iers in all parts of the State who Will,
nevertheless. long remember, with a
kind and tender recollection, the court
eous and ever acceptable conductor of
the Columbia and Greenville road, who
for over forty years served the public
to their entire satisfaction. Indeed, it
was not unusual for ladies to make in
quiry whether Captain Isaacs would be
in charge Oh q certain day and time,
then going or coming accordingly. All
things considered, it is conceded that
he was the most universally accept
able train official in the State.
When We bury men of high distinc-
ton or those who have held high posts
of honor, we are accustomed to lower
our flags and drape ourpublic editceS
with emblems of mourning, but it is IN
the peoples hearts alone that the mem
ory of the kind and good and obliging
men of a palmer sphere oflife is trea-
sured for aye.
2 Among such as these will long be re-
membered with affection and gratitude
he who gathered to his fathers yester-
day, and whose welcome face will no
longer greet US on our streets or kindly
receive us on the train. The good man
has gone to his last rest, leaving behind
many besides the loved ones Of his
hearth to treasure his memory.
